"Mom.. can I go play with my friends?" 6 year old Erza asked.
"Okay, but don't forget to bring a water bottle. I love you." Her mom replied, kissing her on the cheek.
Erza ran out of the house and within 5 minutes, she arrived at Jocelyn's house, where all her friends, Sally, Natsu, Gray, and Mira Jane are. They had a really wonderful time together, though Natsu and Gray kept on fighting, and Erza was forced to separate them all the time. Erza has always been the most boyish girl between her friends, and even Natsu and Gray, who are boys, are afraid of her.
That night, she went home by herself and found her dad sitting in the living room. Her dad is a wizard, and he was always busy , so it made Erza really happy to see him. She hugged him, and he hugged back , but soon she noticed that he was acting strangely and was frowning.
" What's wrong, dad?" Erza asked.
" Nothing, sweetie. Uh, can you sleep over at your friend's house starting tomorrow? I'm sure you'd be happy and, uh, safe." Her dad said.
Erza's POV
The next morning, I packed up the things I'd need and went to Mira Jane's house. Mira Jane is my friend, but like Natsu and Gray, we fight a lot. She's also very boyish. When I arrived, we invited the rest of our friends and played till night, but only Sally stayed with us.
After a day or two since my dad came back, I heard the news that someone killed my parents. I cried so hard, and my friends and their parents are doing everything they can to calm me down. Even Natsu and Gray stopped fighting. That is, for just a moment.
"Hey, Erza! You don't have to be sad. You still have us.' Natsu said.
" They're her parents, you idiot! You should've known how that feels like when yours abandoned you and left you with a dragon!" Gray retorted.
They both started fighting again, but this time, I'm too sad to separate them. Instead, I went up to my room and stayed there crying. It felt so hard to never be able to see my parents again, and hear their soothing words.
After a while, the door opened and in came Jocelyn. She was always the one who comforted me and stayed by my side at all times, and I loved her deeply.
" You know, they might be dead, but you'll always remember them in your heart." She said, but this time, I don't feel better. Instead, I felt angry.
" I promise that I will bring the person who did this to justice! No one messes with my family and gets away with it!" I said angrily.
A few months later, Natsu , Gray and Mira Jane found out that they're wizards and went to a guild called Fairy Tail. I longed to come with them, but I'm not a wizard. So, since that day, I tried to find the identity of the person who killed my parents and I also trained in martial arts.
