A.N: Hey guys! Long time no see, I'm finally back to posting stories and well, re-writing some of my (awful) originals! I'd like to think I've improved some, but I'm not sure. Also, this is the first story I plan to be serious with. Reviews of any kind will be used to ignite the flames of my awesome skill and make it grow bigger XD

Note: There will be some major changes but the plot will be the same, this is fanfiction so I guess I can do whatever I want…

Also, I'm looking for a Beta-reader, I already have a few people in mind but they haven't replied to my messages, some recommendations would be very much appreciated ^^

On anothernote, this isn't in fact a 'chapter' but more like an introduction on the past of all the characters we will be pairing Lucy with, I'll be putting up a poll of pairings you can choose from, but for now this will be LaLu, the pairing may change depending on you so be sure to vote! And the reason why I put up their past's is because it is VERY imperative to the plot of the story

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail if I said so otherwise, I'm pretty sure I'd be put in jail…. *Shiver*

Introduction: Past memories

My Dearest child

She had always considered her father a great man, an idol even. His name was Jude Heartfilia and her, Lucy Heartfilia. She always looked up to him as a child; he was a kind man whom always put his family first, and although he owned the Heartfilia railways, he found time to spend with his daughter and his wife, Layla Heartfilia. Little Lucy, Jude and Layla would play in the garden of their home together, with tea and cake afterwards; truly, it was a fairytale. But just as she read in her books stories didn't always have a happy ending.

Layla Heartfilia had died at the young age of 28

Jude Heartfilia became secluded

Little Lucy wasn't lonely though, the servants played with her and the spirit friends which she had received from Layla kept her company, and though she only had two, Lucy treasured them with her heart. The water-bearer Aquarius and the great crab Cancer were both golden zodiac keys—one of the rarest and strongest of their kind.

Her dream was to become a celestial mage just like her mother Layla, yet Jude—the man who she once thought was kind, became cruel and prideful once his lover died. Ignoring Lucy's pleas of just a little bit of his time and crushing the hope of her ever becoming a wizard, but she was a stubborn child, Lucy refused to give up and continued to dream, all the while looking for a reason why her father despised her. And though she searched hard, all she could find was a shadow of his old-self, with no answers whatsoever.

Reality hit her after a year; her father would never be the same man

And so on the 1st of July, the day of Lucy Heartfilia's birthday arrived.

Servants put up banners and prepared gifts for the young heiress, a dress of lace and frills lay on her dresser the next morning, a gift from her father. Little Lucy was ecstatic; she made riceballs and prepared a picnic for two with the help of her care-taker, Miss Mahzer.

Bringing it to her father's study with a plate of riceballs in hand, she opened the doors gently and set the food down on his desk, smiling she spoke words of happiness and a promise of fun, only to be extinguished by Jude's bitter replies, the plate of food had been thrown to the floor, ceramic shards hit her pink shoes as the young girl stood there, trembling. Lucy gripped the hem of her dress and held back pained sobs of sorrow while her father yelled at her, Lucy's little heart cracked a bit more when her beloved father slapped her, she ran out as fat tears rolled down her face.

The little girl broke down on the floor of her room, clutching golden keys to her chest; she sobbed and called out Cancer, a faint glimmer of light enveloped the space and arms wrapped around her in a comforting hold. These friends were all she had in this mansion, Lucy cherished them with all her heart and soon, they were just like the family she had lost.

As Lucy read a book about celestial spirits Jude had entered her room, noticing the door creak open, she smiled and looked at the man standing by the doorway, face suddenly changing into one of fear, little Lucy dropped it with a heavy heart and greeted her father with a soft hello. As soon as Jude noticed the nature of the book, Lucy stilled in her bed. Her mind numbed and all she could hear were the slightly dulled yells of her father, she merely nodded and with a satisfied huff, the monster left. She learned to shut the monster out after earlier incidents

Because that monster ate her father and took his body

That night, she decided to run away, her spirits would care for her, she was a smart girl, she had a bank account full of jewels-she would survive. And so, Lucy Heartfilia heiress to the Heartfilia railways and only daughter to Jude Heartfilia and Layla Heartfilia, went missing at the age of 12 on the 7th of June.

Sweet prince, don't cry

Yells resounded in the otherwise silent night, echoing through the hallways of stone, the sound of chains shifting and the bright lights flashing scared away all moments of peace, water-worn pictures and memories hung about the house with little to no color.

A boy lay on a table of metal as chains bound him, above him stood a cackling Ivan Dreyar, scars and bruises littered the shirtless body of the 13 year old, Laxus Dreyar. Ivan held a Lacrima of thunder in his hand, lifting it; he smashed the orb into his son's eye while circulating magic into the ball currently being pressed against Laxus' eye. Screams of pain and grief erupted from his mouth and filled the room.

A flash of light

And a lightning shaped mark appeared on a young teen's face.

The child, mishandled by a father had gained the powers of a Lightning dragon slayer only to be used by the same man who had helped give birth to him.

Day after day passed as neighbors and guild mates questioned what happened to Laxus, some said it was a curse others said it was a blessing, after months with no answers, the residents of Magnolia accepted it and life became normal once again.

The moment when Ivan Dreyar was expulsed from the guild, was the time when his son, Laxus Dreyar vowed to change the guild for better or for worse, blindly following his ambitions. The once warm and kind boy vanished; it broke the heart of Fairytail's master, Makarov Dreyar. But while he vowed to make his Grandson happy, the betterment of the guild came first.

Ties were cut off, a young Dreyar became secluded.

Be brave fear not

The quiet hum of crickets filled the forest, pale moonlight passed through the thick canopy above as stars dotted the sky, too many to count. Two boys were sighted wandering the night, animals and creatures alike scurried away from the black haired boy whose red eyes seemed to glow in the darkness and his blonde companion with eyes the shade of the blue sky.

Collapsing in a cave deep in the woods, they were briefly shocked at the sight that welcomed them. Two dragons lay beside each other, a black one with scales as smooth as stone and eyes the color of blood, sharp fangs protruded from its mouth as its white counterparts blue orbs seemed to pierce the hearts of the two boys.

But what shocked them the most was the blood streaming down the snout, deep gashes lined their wings as they seemed to curl up next to each other, both sporting weary looks. They had both been in a fight, they were at least certain of that. But what caused them that much damage? To make such normally powerful creatures bleed, it was unheard of.

Considering the fact that a dragon's scale was supposed to be tougher than diamonds, they were right to question what had, indeed happened.

Looking at one another, the two boys nodded, a mutual agreement left hanging in the air. They would help the poor creatures, for they both knew what pain felt like. To be discarded and to be hurt for no reason, to be hit and yelled at for the tiniest mistakes and to be at the brink of death, abused by their own parents.

Days passed and time ran like sand, soon both dragons healed with the help of the two young children, in return for the aid they received, a promise of magic was made and two boys, Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney were taken under the care of Weisslogia and Skiadrum—a light and shadow dragon.

Years passed by, and then their happiness had been abruptly shattered. Both dragons attacked their past saviors and in the end, they had been killed.

No hesitation passed through their eyes, only steely resolve. At first, they both thought their guardians were merely playing again, but when Weisslogia scratched stings eyes, deep enough to leave a scar, the truth dawned on them.

They weren't their Dragons.

Yet, at the last moment before their attacks struck their opponents, a smile had appeared on both dragons faces

A.N

So uh…sorry for the awful writing, I've been working on my style for quite some time yet I can't find a good way to improve myself, so right now, I'm looking for a great beta-reader who can help me. Also, I'd like to point out that I;ve changed a few things about each of their pasts, but note I will NOT make Lucy a power-house with new magic and stuff, I'd like her to earn it through tough times and training. I may give her a new magic but it will be closely related to her Celestial magic.

And on the side note, I'm not sure when I'll be able to update but I'll try next week, no promises though.

Should I continue the story? Tell me in the reviews and if I can get at least a number I'm happy with, I'll post the first chapter up sooner! Review, I'll take what I can get—anything to help myself improve be it Flames or Happy stuff!

PS: The next few chapters may be a bit shorter but I can at least say that I'll work on its quality to make up for lack of quantity ^^
