Fairy Tail FanFic NatsuXOC REDONE

Fairy Tail NatsuXOC Chapter 1

I do not own any characters other than the ones I have created, any artwork or pics I put up are certainly not mine...😅
If you have previously read this story I would hope that you reread it because I've been editing a lot of the plot and storyline because I felt that the character I created wasn't real enough and that my story didn't fit what I had in mind. I want to create what I've thought up in its purest form so if it means changing the story then so be it.

If you have any questions about what I'm changing or anything "holes" in the storyline please leave a comment and I'll be happy to answer anything :)

Chapter 1

It was a cold day, but that was not abnormal when you live up in the mountains. I carried my sister on my back and walked along side my friend Kimiko. We laughed and talked about the cute boys that might ask us to the harvest festival next month. It was a peaceful day, morning mists lifting, and the sun shining down on dew covered grass and trees. We stopped by the stream, our secluded haven where we could practice our gifts without being scorned. Kimiko had a magic ring passed down from her father's side because he was married into our village his family tree is filled with mages and magic users. This magic ring was incredible. It gave her the ability to make flowers grow, heal the hurt, and even create things so beautifully impossible. It was unlike anything I had ever seen before. Her magic was far more amazing than my own. All I could do was a little light trick with moonlight which wasn't very useful unless there was a full moon out, but I could do nothing as fantastic or useful as Kimi's magic. Day after day we would spend our time trying to impress each other and my sister with harmless feats, but we knew that if anyone would find out our secrets we would regret it. There had always been a story about a boy who had revealed dark magic to the village and tried using it for good rather than hurting others. The people attempted to foster his abilities, but their plan backfired. The boy, unable to handle the stress of suppressing his potential, went on a rampage injuring, endangering, or killing nearly all of the other children in the village. Luckily the elders were able to stop him with their own magical abilities. They banished him and saw that the use of any magic was to be forbidden and punishable by banishment, or worse. Of course the children my age never fully believed the story, but we knew from our parents that any sign of magical abilities needed to remain hidden. Of course, me and Kimi were careful to be sure no one would ever find out until we were old enough to leave and live our lives as mages in grand guilds. Kimi and I specifically were interested in one guild that was constantly whispered about between neighbors, a guild called Fairy Tail. It wasn't before too long that it had become our dream to join Fairy Tail together and travel the world as mages.

But that's not the way things worked out.

I remember clearly that it was my little sister's third birthday when a demon appeared only two mountains away from our own.
It was massive,
unstoppable,
all-powerful,
and terrifying.
The elders refused to let anyone leave, they claimed that they would be able to protect everyone, but that didn't stop nearly every great mage in Fiore from showing up to defeat it. It was ironic to have dreamed about meeting the great wizards from the strongest guilds and finally getting to see them in action only to watch them fail.

The demon drew closer and closer until it had reached our village. We abandoned our elder's reasoning and my family tried to leave as quickly as possible, but for some reason, I couldn't bring myself to leave everything behind me. I felt something build up inside me, a power, a strength like something I had never felt before.
It was like some part of me had suddenly been switched on,

and I felt indestructible.

I wasn't going to let my village abandon its home, and I wasn't going to let the lives lost that day to have died in vain. I broke away from my family, and I climbed to the highest peak of the mountain. I faced the beast face to face, and it seemed amused by me because it didn't even try to mow me down with a single blow.
I could feel it waiting for me to run away, which I wanted to do so very bad.
I was scared, as any little girl would have been.
But that power inside me gave me courage, it gave me hope like I had someone watching over me and protecting me, and for some reason, it was enough to convince me to stand my ground.
The demon began to scale the mountain, but before it could reach the top and destroy everything I had ever known and loved I let myself go.
Whatever I had locked up inside myself I set free.
I stood and watched as the demon fell down the side of our mountain.
I watched as my power had some how absorbed its soul.
I paused for a moment after, but I was then overwhelmed by the amount of energy that surged through me. By absorbing the demon I had let it live, and I could do nothing while the immense amount of darkness tried to kill me from the inside out. Soon after fighting myself to control the demon I finally collapsed from exhaustion.

When I woke up the next day I no longer felt like myself.

It felt as if I had become a mere puppet of the demon, and it had fused itself into my being.
I tried to cry, but no tears or sadness flooded me.
I tried to yell, kick, and scream out enraged, but no anger boiled up inside me.

It was as if I had a hole inside me that constantly drained any emotion I tried to express or feel. I tried to be happy, sad, confused, mad, but before any of those could reach the surface they were pulled into the abyss where the demon fed on my existence.

The elders somehow were able to contain me long enough to place a magic seal that would be able to trap the monster within me to an extent. The process was unbearable because the amount of power they were trying to squeeze into my frail form was too much to handle.
When my body couldn't handle the amount of magic it had to deal with it must've decided that some of my human abilities were not as important. Because having that demon tied to me caused me to lose my vision, and with my vision went the last thing I could hold onto that made me remotely human.

After a day or two of rest and recovery, my family and friends tried to protest against my banishment, but it was no use.

I didn't try to argue much because I knew if I slipped up or tried to restart my emotion I could potentially lose control and hurt every last one of them.

So I left.

The leftover human part of me felt free, but I knew that I was stuck being a monster.
I didn't think it was possible for me to do anything by my own will, and surely not to help people.

My name is Ayako Yamaguchi.

And after that day my dream of joining the greatest guild in the world, Fairy Tail, died.

So I simply moved on...
