Short Sword Sisters

Distant Memories

Well everyone, Autumn-chan here! I decided to write another FT fanfic because I couldn't stop thinking about this plot idea... Anyways, Fairy Tail belongs to Hiro Mashima. Don't forget to R&R!

Five year old Wendy really needed to sit down. Her and Mystogan had been walking for three days and Wendy just wasn't sure she could take it anymore. After Grandeney disappeared, Wendy was sure she was going to die, she was too small to get food or know what was okay to eat, it was too scary to try to catch animals too, and she wasn't all that sure she would even have the stomach to kill the creature. After making it a few days, Wendy finally collapsed, not able to take the hunger anymore, and that's when Mystogan found her, fed her, hade sure she was healthy and promised to get her to a place where she'd be safe, so in return, Wendy followed him without complaint.

"Oh dear..." Mystogan muttered quietly, although Wendy heard him loud and clear do to her heightened senses. "It seems I've found another Dragon Child."

Perplexed, Wendy ran forward, ignoring her burning legs and crested the hill her partner stood on, gasping at what she saw.

A young girl, probably the same age as Wendy, with golden hair, lay unconscious on the ground, her breathing shallow and tear tracks on her dirty face. She wore a tattered black sundress but had no shoes, she smelled like Grandine, the smell of a dragon but it was mixed with the scent of polished clock wood and strawberries. "She's like me!" Wendy cried, rushing forward and turning the girl over, cradling her head and murmuring a healing magic, trying to get her to wake up.

The girl moaned and opened her eyes, revealing beautiful chocolate eyes. "Who are y-you... Smell like Heada... Heada..." The girl chocked out, a fresh wave of tears rolling down her face.

"It's okay, I'm Wendy, do you think you can tell me your name?" She asked the crying girl.

The girl sniffled and focused on Wendy. "L-Lucy.... My name's Lucy.." She said as she drifted into unconsciousness again.

Six years later, Wendy and Lucy Marvel left their home of Cait Shelter to fight with the Light Alliance. The sisters walked into the base of operations hand in hand, both falling on their faces as Wendy caught her foot in the carpet. As they got up they were met with shocked and disappointed faces, scolding from their Exceeds Charle and Cleo and embarrassment. The two 11 year olds flushed red and looked down, the bluenette hiding behind the blonde.

They learnt that the other guilds were called Fairy Tail, Lamia Scale and Blue Pegasus, all members of the Light Alliance, and they were all very kind.

After the fighting ended, Wendy and Lucy ran back to the guild, excited to tell their friends about their accomplishment of destroying a giant lacrima but the Universal and Sky Dragon Slayers excitements was ended when their guild leader told them that their guild never really existed, that it was all an illusion. Cait Shelter disappeared, leaving Lucy and Wendy all alone again. The two girls felt so lost, why did everyone they ever cared about disappear.

After the girls began to cry, Fairy Tail offered to take them in, promising they wouldn't ever leave them and the girls rushed towards the chance of having a home again, desperate for someone to care about them.

Months later, Master Makarov announced that their would be an S-Class trial coming up and that their would be a handful of guild members going to Tenrou Island. Lucy and Wendy weren't nominated and stayed behind in Magnolia, anxious to see who would come out on top.
