This story is in the process of being rewritten and hopefully done better. After rereading it *cough*almost two years later*cough* I realized how off the story was even if it held some plot to it. I will change my OC's name because it never sat well with me.

Bear with me until I manage to catch up with each chapter.

The girl stared at the rune knight only thing running through her mind was: 'It can't be. No.' Tears started to fall. They are gone. Dead. Michaela looked at her brother. He had a blank face.

''Who did it?'' she whispered weakly looking back at the knight.

The rune knight looked sadly at the girl but kept silent. His orders were to only inform the relatives about the deaths and ensure that there is someone who'd be eligible for taking care of the children. However, since the oldest was at least 16 it was obvious that he would be responsible for the youngest sibling.

The girl hadn't averted her eyes from the rune knight, staring at him unblinking, pleading for him to tell her. The knight pressed his lips together unwilling to reveal the information.

'' Dark guild, Shattered heads.'' Came a new voice from the doorway.

"Captain!" the knight choked. The said man waved him off as he stared back at the girl who had turned her head to look at him. Without saying a word the girl turned away from the men and went to her room.

The rune knight captain walked to the still frozen teenager. Puting his hand on his shoulder, snapping him out of his frozen state, he looked into the boy's eyes, startling him.

''It's up to you now, boy. Take care of your little sister.'' with that, both men left the house.

Once they left, the boy slid down on the floor, silent sobs shaking his body.

Few hours passed and the door from the young girl's room opened as she silently stepped outside. Looking for her big brother she found him sleeping on the kitchen floor. Lips in a tight line, she set a note next to him. Straightening back up, she found a blanket, put it over him and turned towards the door. Glancing one last time at the sleeping boy she dug her nails into her palms, determination in her eyes as she left the house, one thought in her head. They'll pay.

Present

Michaela shot up from her make-shift bed. She put her palm on her face and rubbed it. ''Again with that nightmare.'' It has been twelve years. Twelve years. Twelve years since her parents died. Twelve years since she left her home. Twelve years since she left her brother.

She detested this nightmare. It's been appearing almost every night since her brother disappeared during the Tenrou Island incident.

'So much for Fairy Tail being the strongest guild out there.' She thought as she got up.

'I miss him.' She sighed as these thoughts kept reappearing. Each night. Like stuck in a limbo. The young girl scrunched up her nose as she swept away any traces of herself being here, having slept on the forest floor.

'I'm just being cautious.' she reassured herself, picking up her backpack and retracing her steps back to the main forest road.

'I know he's back. But... He must hate me for leaving.' dark thoughts kept themselves busy in her head as Michaela made her way to the town of Kunugi where she was supposed to get on a train to Magnolia. Weak determination shone in her eyes.

''I won't know until I meet him,'' she whispered to herself trying to ease her nerves.

Here I come Fairy Tail...Brother...

AN.

Hey there. So this is my first ever fan fiction.

[edit 24.10.2017.]

The events from this point onward are after the Infinity Clock arc. I'm quite behind on both the anime and manga so do expect some blurred lines or whatnot.

Right now I will concentrate on rewriting the chapters that have been posted before continuing.

Suggestions are welcome as well as some guidelines.
