My first story. Hope you guys like it... :)

This is the first story to the Gwendal trilogy.

Sadly, I don't own Fairy Tail. But I do own my OCs. :):

Running Away

"Running away will never make you free." -Kenny Loggins

"Slower Charlie!" A young blonde called to her cat.

The cat, Charlie, stopped and stared for a while at the fifteen-year-old who was trying to catch up with her.

"You're slow Mere..." Charlie told her.

Mere's lips curved into a slight frown. It wasn't her fault she was slow. She was still surprised that the infamous Hunters of her village attacked them without warning. And she used half of her magic to run away from them.

"They've become stronger... and I don't even recognize some Hunters," Mere panted. She leaned beside a big smooth rock, and after thinking for a few seconds, she sat on the stony and slighty sandy ground.

She felt so tired, so weak, so... wanted. Once the Hunters find them she'll be dead meat-literally.

Mere sighed. "It's so unfair! They're accusing me of something I didn't do. What now?"

Charlie just stared at her. "Where are they?"

"I guess in the village,"

"Why can't we just use magic?" Charlie asked as her white wings grew to full size.

"No! Stop, Charlotte!" Mere screamed, her stormy grey eyes widening.

"Whay?" Charlie asked, startled and confused.

"Because... they have the eagles. If they see you they'll try to attack you and if you run for cover down here... " Mere let her voice trail off.

"Right. You have a point there," Charlie asked, slightly embarassed for not thinking about it. "But why not your magic?"

"I'm afraid I only have the energy to run. Too weak and tired."

Charlie stood up and Mere knew what it meant-rest time is over and they needed to go now if they wanted to catch the train.

"I'm just happy we found this shortcut to the train going to Magnolia. But why can't there be a shortcut going straight to Magnolia?" Mere whined as they started running.

Charlie just looked down at the ground. She could make out some moving ants, but some were dead. Killing... family, Charlie thought. She wasn't there when the incident happened. Mere just told her what occured, and she was just happy that Mere hadn't found her yet when the string of events popped up so suddenly- it looked like it'll be sadder and more horrifying when she actually saw it in person.

Now what was that thing her aunt told Mere before...? Charlie thought, "You won't be able to run away from your fate, honey! That's just how it is!"

She must have ordered those Hunters to kill her...

"I may not able to run away from fate, but I am able to change it." Charlie heard the girl mutter.

All she could do was nod slightly as they both picked up their speed as they looked straight ahead at the station that would bring them to Magnolia.

Pls. review!

I know that Natsu and co. aren't here in the first chapter but I'm gonna put them in the second chapter. But I don't know how to create a a new chapter so, yeah... it would be good if you guys would be able to tell me.
