This is a translation of an old Fanfiction of mine: "Un Paso hacia ti", I just wanted to show it to English speaking people.

Without further ado this is my fanfic I hope you like it.

This chapter has been corrected by a BETA reader, that's why I haven't update for a long time. Chapter 1 and 2 have a lot of grammar mistakes.Chapter 2 is still in process, then I will write chapter 9 :) hope you like them

....

A week had passed after Phantom Lord's attack and Lucy was feeling quite guilty. Her father, Jude Heartfilia, hired a guild to abduct her in order to take her back home. Her past had wounded the beloved members of her guild, the same ones she considered family and her family was Fairy Tail.

It's been a while since she escaped Heartfilia's mansion. She definitely didn't want to get back to such place. It was impossible to get rid of the memories from her coldhearted father; she just simply couldn't get back to her former home. Even though Jude Heartfilia was once a kind and a caring person.

It all had started long ago with her mother's death when she was a child. Lucy can hardly remember her mother's face or smile. Her father loved her mother with madness and her death shocked him.

The once caring guy became a person whom started to hate his own daughter just because she was a living copy of her diseased wife, the vivid image of Layla Heartfilia. And to make things worse, Lucy happens to have inherited her mother's powers: Magic of stellar spirits.

The relationship she experienced around her father worsened day after day; therefore Lucy grew up with neither the love of her father or a mother. Although, she was never alone, her stellar spirits were also her family. On the other hand the stellar spirits, we're proud to serve the young blonde, she made them feel like family and not as a just a tool that needs to be summoned whenever came in handy.

Since a small child she was taught by her mother to respect the celestial spirits. Because even though they were immortal, it didn't imply they weren't able to suffer or being emotionally hurt.

Despite her father's constant shouting and his aggressive behavior towards her, Lucy never lost hope of getting her old father back someday. However, at the age of sixteen, her father betrothed her to a wealthy Count. She felt betrayed and ran away from home. Enough was enough.

For a while she was on her own traveling around Fiore's Kingdom getting stronger by the mere experience. Plus, those trips helped and inspired her.

Her former home, her father's mansion, had a hall full of books from where she discovered many things, things that helped her eventually. Those very books come in handy from time to time helping her to feel less lonely. Lucy didn't want to think how her life could actually be without her Celestial World's Friends.

Sometime after travelling thru Fiore, she found Natsu on its way to Hurgeon's port searching for his beloved father: Igneel, a fire dragon. Happy, a white-winged blue cat was his best friend and sidekick in adventures.

Natsu had saved her from being almost sold as a slave by Bora, a magician who was expelled from a legal guild. The Dragon Slayer of fire opened to her the doors to the heat of a new family. Finally, after so many bad things, she was able to smile again the way she used to do long ago. Although, Phantom Lord's attack reminded her that she couldn't run from her past.

Her father wants her back; and he wanted her to get married. After a full year of travelling thru Fiore's Kingdom, her father wanted her back.

Lucy didn't want to go back; her father was a heartless man who only cares about money and power. Getting back to the mansion would break her heart into pieces.
