Little Lucy Heartfilia ran as fast as she could. She needed to get away. She ran out through the big gate that kept her from the outside world. She had taken her mother's spirit keys and ran like the wind. Her mother had only shown her how to open one of the gates.
"Open! Gate of the goat! Capricorn!" Little Lucy yelled as she ran. Capricorn came into the world with a glow. He saw Lucy running so he followed her.
"Capricorn! Please help me get away! Please!" Lucy yelled, running as fast as her legs could carry her. The goat had no choice but to listen to his new master. He nodded.
"Yes princess," he said. He picked her up and ran. Lucy looked behind her and saw only a few of her maids were chasing her. She felt saddened that her father was not among them. She looked up at her spirit and smiled.
Capricorn ran as fast as he could. He knew why his master wanted to get away. Layla had warned him about the strong-willed little girl. He planned on taking her to Magnolia. Layla had told him that if her daughter ever ran away and if she summoned any of them to take her to Magnolia, she said to bring her to a guild called Fairy Tail and to tell the master there that she was Layla Heartfilia's girl. So that's what he was doing.
Lucy started to fall asleep. She was feeling quite tired. She heard a loud scream. Capricorn stopped and looked down at his master. Lucy jumped down and looked around.
"Gate closed!" Lucy whispered. Capricorn went back to the spirit world ready to come out with his own magic to help his master. Lucy ran to where the scream came from, but then she heard crying.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" A soft voice cried as Lucy saw a woman with green hair slap a girl with pink hair. The girl with pink hair cried out again.
"Useless spirit!" The woman with green hair yelled. Spirit? Lucy looked closer and saw that the woman was holding a key in her hand. Also there were keys on her hip.
Lucy remembered something her mother said.
'Lucy, the spirits are our friends. If you ever see someone hurting them, come and get me.' Layla said. Well, Lucy couldn't get her mother but she had her keys. Lucy was going to help that spirit!
"Open gate of the goat! Capricorn!" Lucy yelled. Capricorn showed up and lunged at the woman.
"Capricorn! Get me her keys!" Lucy yelled. The goat punched the woman in the face before she could call out another spirit. He grabbed her key chain and gave it to Lucy.
"Here princess. Let's go before she wakes up," Capricorn said as he picked her up and ran. Lucy giggled as she hooked the two key chains together. After running for half an hour nonstop, Capricorn couldn't go any further.
"Princess, I must leave. Please make a contract with the new keys, okay?" Lucy nodded. "Okay!" Lucy said. Capricorn disappeared.
Lucy looked at the new keys. Two gold ones and three silver ones. "Open! Gate of the ram! Aries!" Lucy yelled. This was using up a lot of her magic. She swayed back but fixed herself as she saw the woman with pink hair again. Lucy ran up to her.
"Are you okay?" Lucy asked as she looked over the pink haired woman, checking for cuts or bruises. The spirit looked at the girl wide-eyed.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry I'm making you worry!" The spirit said. Lucy smiled at her.
"It's okay! I'm Lucy Heartfilia! What's your name?" Lucy asked. The spirit smiled down at the girl.
"Aries. Nice to meet you Lucy. Are you my new master?" Aries asked. Lucy nodded her head furiously.
"Yep! I saw that woman hurt you so I wanted to help! You are very nice," Lucy said. Aries blushed at the girl's kind words. Her new master was very nice but also very young. She wondered where her master's parents were and why she was in the woods.
"Princess, where are your mom and dad?" Aries asked. She was worried about the poor girl being alone. Lucy looked down and kicked the dirt. "Mama went to heaven and I ran away from daddy," Lucy answered. Arias didn't push her for more information.
"Okay. I'm going to go back but first let me show you a friend of mine," Aries said. She took the other gold key. "I, Aries, open the gate of the mighty lion! Leo!" Aries chanted. Her whole body glowed as a man showed up dressed in a suit. He looked around and saw that they were in the woods and then saw Aries and the little girl. Aries slumped down slightly.
"Princess Lucy, this is my friend Leo or Loke," Aries presented. Lucy smiled at him. She walked up to him and giggled. Loke bent down so he could see her.
"Hello, princess," he said. Lucy smiled and petted his cat ears. Loke purred so she would trust him. There was a glow of light and then there stood Capricorn. Aries and Loke got ready to fight to protect their new master. Lucy jumped up and smiled at him.
"Cap! You're back! I made a contract with my new friend Aries! I just met Loke!" Lucy giggled and jumped around. Loke and Aries calmed down when Lucy had talked to him.
"Princess? How about you go play over by the lake while I talk with Aries and... Loke?" Capricorn suggested, looking at Loke. Lucy nodded and ran off. Capricorn looked at the two.
"Loke? Why'd you change your name, Leo?" Capricorn asked. Loke shrugged. Aries sighed, then told what was going on. After having explained to Capricorn, they called Lucy over. Lucy ran over to them and stopped as she reached them. She plopped down next to Aries and Loke. They were all sitting down and looking at Lucy.
"Princess, I'm going to go back to the spirit world. So is Capricorn. Loke is going to be using his own magic and stay out here with you. We are going to live out in the woods for a while until you get stronger and no one knows you, okay?" Arias asked.
Lucy nodded and smiled. She knew why she had to stay here. If she didn't, her dad would send people after her. She didn't want to go back. Lucy looked up at Loke and smiled.
"So, we are going to need a tent," Lucy concluded, yawning. Aries bid them good night and left Loke to look after their young master. Loke nodded.
"Okay. Stay right here. I'll be right back," Loke ordered as he disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Lucy looked at the water reflecting the moonlight.
Her mother had taught her all about the zodiac signs, golden keys and silver keys. She remembered that she needed to make a contract with the silver ones too, but right now she had little to no magic left. Lucy lied down next to the lake as she brushed the water with her fingers. Lucy felt her magic power rise and she started to feel like her stomach was on fire. Her chest hurt and her head felt like a leaf.
"Princess? You must sleep," Loke said as he pulled a light blanket over Lucy. Little Lucy nodded then fell asleep.
The next morning, Loke was hunting down small animals so Lucy could eat. After finding a rabbit, Loke cooked it and the smell woke Lucy up. Lucy walked over to Loke and sat down next to him. Loke handed her a leg. "Eat this, princess," Loke said. Lucy looked at it then slowly took it. She didn't want to know what it was. "Loke? Can you build a tree house for us to live in? I want to be free and I want to learn how to hunt and, and, and-" Lucy didn't know what else to say. Loke laughed at his young master. "Sure, princess," he said. " I'll be back in a moment." Then he disappeared.
Lucy looked around for a good tree for Loke to build the house, leaving the small camp site that Loke had made. She walked around in the woods. After about ten minutes, she finally came across a small clearing. The clearing wasn't very big but right on the edge of the clearing was a tree that looked like a hand.
A wide open spot that made the branches were growing around a large ball. Lucy ran up to the tree and started to climb it. She slipped and fell on the ground. Lucy whimpered as she felt her butt hit the ground. There was a puff of pink smoke and there stood Aries. She bent down and kneeled in front of little Lucy. Lucy looked at the spirit and smiled.
"Aries!" She cried out. Lucy leapt into the spirits arms and started whimpering. "I got cut! My knee and arms hurt!" The little girl whined. Aries patted the small girls head.
"It's okay Lucy. Here, let me take a look," Aries said as she pulled away from Lucy. Lucy stood up and showed her cuts to Aries. Aries awed at the sight of the cuts.
"It's okay, princess. They won't be there long. You won't even see them in a day or two." Aries said. Lucy smiled brightly at her.
"Really? Thank you, Nee-San!" Lucy said as she started to look at the tree again. Aries blushed bright red. She had never been called 'big sister' before.
"Y-You're welcome, princess," Aries stuttered, blushing.
Lucy giggled at the pink haired girl. Suddenly, Lucy remembered why she fell.
"Airy-nee! I almost forgot!" Lucy cried out as she tried to climb the tree again. This time when she fell she fell on a pink cloud.
Lucy gasped out loud. "Look! Look! A pink cloud! How did you do that, Airy-nee?!" Lucy asked as she ran her hand over the soft cloud.
Aries smiled at her young master. "It's my magic, princess," Aries said. "Just like your magic is to summon me. Do you remember when you felt tired last night?"
Lucy nodded her head. Of course she knew. It was awful! She never felt so drained in her whole life!
"Well that was because you used up so much magic. You can only have us out for so long with you magic. Loke, Capricorn and I can use our own magic to come here so we don't use all your magic," Aries said. Lucy looked up at her in wonder and awe.
"Really?! Tell me more!" Lucy asked, ready to learn more.
The sound of someone clearing their throat interrupted the two.
"Sorry to intrude, but I have the things needed to build the house," Loke said. Lucy ran over to Loke and pulled his tie so he was bending over.
"Kitty cat! You're back! I was just talking to Airy-nee! She was telling me all about magic and how it made me tired last night! Oh and I found a perfect tree!" Lucy said happily as she pulled Loke's hand over to the tree she had tried to climb.
Loke looked over the tree she had picked out and nodded. It was a good tree. "Looks good, Lucy. Oh, and why did you call me 'Kitty cat'?" Loke asked, picking Lucy up and placing her on his shoulders.
"'Cause you have kitty cat ears!" Lucy stated as she started to play with said ears.
Aries giggled lightly at the two. Her new master was so carefree.
Capricorn appeared next to Loke and Lucy.
"Miss Lucy, I suggest that you let me and Loke get to work on your house while you go play with Aries," the goat said. Lucy nodded as Loke placed her on the ground.
"Let's go, Airy-nee!"
That was two years ago. Now, Lucy Heartfilia was 10 years old and living in a large treehouse. She had gotten two new golden keys as well. Virgo, the maiden and Taurus, the bull.
Lucy Heartfilia happily walked around the lake as she waited for her fishing pole to move. She had been fishing for the past hour and only caught two fish. One was very small, but she already cooked and ate the other.
Lucy saw the pole move with the corner of her eye. She rushed over to it and gently tugged the line. She felt it pull back. Lucy ran full speed away from the lake dragging out the line and fish. She cried out happily as she unhooked the fish. It was huge!
"KITTY CAT! KITTY CAT!" Lucy yelled out as she put her line back in. Loke came running out of the house looking around for danger.
"What!? What?! What's wrong?!" He asked as he held a frying pan.
...
...
...
Loke was standing there wearing an apron while holding a frying pan...
...
...
...
...
Lucy burst out laughing! This was too funny!
... It took a moment for Loke to process that there was no danger and that he really didn't need a frying pan to fight.
...
Loke turned and glared at the laughing girl. "Oi! That's not funny! Why did you call me? I cleaning the house," Loke asked annoyed. Why did he have to clean the girl's house? She made the mess. Loke flinched when a memory of Aries glaring at him while handing him an apron tell him to clean.
"Oh... Yeah... I caught another fish, see?" Lucy asked as she held up the now dead fish. Loke sighed and nodded.
"I see. Well, here is a frying pan and the fire is still going so eat it now so you can save more fish you catch," Loke said as he patted her head and headed back to the treehouse.
"Okay!"
It was year X782 and Lucy was wandering around the outside of a village with Loke and Capricorn. Lucy had heard something and went to check it out. She was 15 now and she was getting into more and more adventures.
Lucy wanted to protect people. That was why she had come so close to the village. Lucy heard another roar. But this time it sounded off.
"Loke! Capricorn! Go back! I'll call you if needed," Lucy said as she took off towards the sound. The two spirits smiled briefly at each other before going back to their world.
Their master, their princess was growing up. She had come so far from when she ran away. She was powerful and strong. She could summon two spirits at once and she had learned some healing magic from a woman who hated humans.
Lucy ran fast as she approached the sound.
'What's going on?!' Lucy thought as she ran. She came to a rocky clearing. She saw two girls and a huge monster. The two girls looked to be sisters. One was her age and the other older.
"LISANNA!" She heard the older one yell as they both watched the monster hit the younger girl with no effort.
Lucy's eyes widened. She had to do something. Lucy ran out over to the girl her age and started her basic healing magic.
As she was doing that she unhooked a key from her belt with one hand.
"Open! Gate of the lion! LEO!" Lucy called out as she took care of the girl named Lisanna.
The older girl crawled over the Lucy and Lisanna. "T-Thank you," was all she could say before she passed out.
Lucy noticed something wrong. She looked over at Loke and saw he was slightly losing.
"Crap," she mumbled. Lucy gently set Lisanna down on the ground next to her sister. Lisanna was going to be fine. She and her sister just needed a lot of rest.
Lucy pulled out another key.
"Open! Gate of the goat! Capricorn!" Lucy yelled. Capricorn went right to fighting.
Lucy watched as hit after hit was delivered. She screamed out when a brightly blinded her and her spirits. The light faded and a large man lied on the ground were the monster had been.
He had white hair and a odd mark on his neck. It was white like his hair. Lucy narrowed her eyes at it.
"What's that mark?" Lucy asked no one in particular.
"It's called a guild mark. The girls have one just like it," Loke said. Lucy looked up at him surprised. "A guild mark? What is that?" She asked.
Loke shook his head. "I'll tell you later. For now, let's bring all three of them to the house."
Lucy nodded and woke the older girl up. "Kitty cat, get the man, Cap get Lisanna, I'll get her to wake up since I can't carry her, but at least I can help her walk..." Lucy said as she woke up the older girl.
"H-Huh?" The older girl mumbled as she woke up.
"Hey. I'm Lucy and I'm here to help you."
"Oh.. I'm Mirajane Strauss of Fairy Tail."
