Fairytail the Daughter of Titania

Chapter 1:The Beggining

The girl laid next to a tree that somehow grew on the beach. She had broken handcuffs on her wrists. She had escaped. That thought kept running through her mind. What was the joy in that? She lost her friends, her teacher, her happiness. None of that would come back to her.

Ever.

Tears slowly slid down her cheek. Why? Why did this happen to her?! What has she done to anyone that made her deserve this…this karma?! Everyone she passed when she travled on her own, thought of her as a freak. She slept during the day and traveled at night to keep away from people. From there cool glares and haughtily whispers. But not everyone went to bed at night.

Thats when she saw her.

Coming her way was a beautiful woman who was dressed in armor. She had the grace of some type of warrior goddess who came to strike her sword on the lesser mortals. Her long fiery red hair flew with the ocean breeze. The girl prayed she wouldnt be spotted by the young woman. She felt unworthy to be even looked at by someone so gorgeous while she herself was covered in dirt and grime.

But she did look at her.

She did walk towards her.

The woman was smiling softly.

"Why are you out here all alone? Dont you have anyone watching you?" The girl kept her dirt covered face down,shaking her head. The woman sat next to her,rubbing the girls back.

"Do you have anywhere to go?"The warrior asked, a concerned motherly tone entering her voice. That hadnt make sense. The woman had no children. Again the child shook her head. "You gotta name, kid?" The girl stared out into the ocean.

"Kuma."

Kuma's voice was pretty but haggard, as if she had been crying for months. She had.

"Well Kuma,I dont know whats going on. Wether you ran away from home or you didnt have a home to begin with. I do have a preposition." Kuma finally looked the woman in the eyes. Her eyes were brown with a faint greyish tint. Those eyes, although they showed warmth for encouragment, those eyes went somewhere deep and a feeling so indescribable was buried, hidden underneath there. "Do you have any magic power?"The godess asked the mortal. Kuma nodded. "Well then come with me and live with me. Join my guild. Fairytail." Kuma's eyes widened in shock. No one like her, so weak, belonged to one of the strongest guilds in Fiore. Kuma shook her head. "Kuma weak. Kuma cant be in Fairytail." The woman stood and held out her hand.

"The strong are the weak who boast of there power. The so called 'weak' are the strong because they are humble and grateful for there strength. I can tell that you are very strong—you just havent had any training. Come with me. We'll ask the master of the guild to find someone fit enough to train you. Please?" The woman held out her hand. Slowly yet surley the girl grasped it. She was taken into a brand new world.

The first day wasnt as akward as Erza thought. But it did get her blood rushing later in the day. That was the womans name that rescued Kuma. Erza showed the small girl how the shower worked and where she would be sleeping. She had tucked the girl in bed and explained how she had planned and hoped to train her. The girl wouldnt stop thanking Erza. Erza gave Kuma a small hug and hit the lights. "Catch some sleep missy, we have people to meet."

The next day the rambuctious guild that was called 'Fairy Tail' fell to a silent standstill when Erza and Kuma walked in. Kuma braced herself for the stares and the whispers.

They never came.

Instead in place of the insults and slurs like people everywhere treated Kuma they cheered and ran up to meet her.

"Isnt she just the cutest thing?"Kana an underaged drinker at the time said. "Oh look at her eyes! There like stunning jewelry! So Cute!"Lissana,a natural favorite at the guild,exclaimed with excitment. "Erza,how strong is she? I wanna see what shes made of!"A pink haired mage yelled running over. He was breathing fire.

Kuma clung tightly to Erza. Erza put an arm over the seven year old's shoulders and put on a very stern but fierce face. "Every body…quit it OUT!" It got quiet. Quick.

Erza then bent over and spoke softly in Kuma's ear. Probably knowing the girl was afraid of loud noises. "Will you be alright at the bar while I go talk to Master?" Kuma nodded her head and smiled. "Itll only take a minute,I promise. Mirajane. Gray...Lissana." She added the girls name when she saw Natsu smiling wickedly,hoping he would get called for some sort of an assighnment. "Take care of Kuma,would ya? I have to talk to Master." They all nodded and lead the girl to the bar. Mirajane pulled out pens and paper and let the girl draw and tried to talk.

Erza walked down a small hallway and knocked on the wooden door. A terse 'come in' replied on the other side and she walked in.

"Master. To be foward I have a child that I want to join the guild." Master looked up from paper work—probably bills—and cocked a graying brow.

"Oh? And who's child is it?" Erza put her arms behind her back. "She has no family. If she'll let me,Ill become her family." Makorov,Fairy Tails 3rd generation guild master,stood up in surprise. "Erza,your a child yourself. You barley get by in doing the so many quests you know you can handle right now. And now you want to add a GROWING child to the mix?" Erza stood there a slow lazy smirk appearing on her face. "Basically. Yes." Master walked from his desk and paced in front of her.

"Master,Ill find a way to handle it. I have to take care of her! You should have seen how scared she looked when I found her fedal position at the beach. Ill just double the job request."

"So you'll put more strain on your body and double the chances of not coming back. Did you think about who will WATCH her while your Doubling the missions? Plus how will she go to school? Is she trained in any sort of magic or martial arts? She has to be a wizard to be part of the guild. You may be one of the youngest S-Class wizards with so much skill but your still a 15 year old girl." Erza flinched on the inside but out she was as cool as a cucumber. Maybe colder is the right word. "So what of my age? If I decide that she lives with me she lives with me.—She shrugs her shoulders—its not like Im asking YOU to watch her." Master swirled around with a hardning face. "I could do without the attitude Erza." Erza let out a quick stream of incoherent apologies. Master muttered something about Natsu and 'the girl'.

Back at the bar:

Natsu listened to all the chatter towards the girl who was carefully reciting the alphabet. He had to admit she was adorable.

'Natsu bring the girl to my office.' He heard. It was Gramps's voice!

"Oi! Gramps wants the girl!" Lissana looked up. "I swear if your ears get any bigger were going to need the guild hall just to hold them up." Mirajane Lissana and Gray laughed. Natsu rolled his eyes and stood up. "C'mon lil bit. Were gonna go see the master of this joint." Kuma stared up at Natsu. "Miss Scarlet told me to sit here." Gray's eyes widened like saucers. " 'Miss'?! Whoa I need a drink. Mira,hit me." Kana laughed and Natsu smiled. "C'mon lil bit Erza and Master are waiting. Trust me you dont want them waiting." So the girl walked after the older boy and they went down the hallway.

Office:

Kuma practiclly hid behind Erza's leg while Gramps stared at her.

"There's no need to be scared. Cmon out."Erza had said reapedetly, in variations of that scentence. For some reason Gramps made Natsu stay. Kuma slowly came from behind the teenagers leg.

"Tell me,child. How old are you?"Gramps questioned walking over to the girl. She held up her right hand signaling 5 and held her left with a peace sign. "Seven. Wow. Tell me what do you think of the people out there?" Kuma instantly smiled. "There funny! They loud but they are really…n-nice! The bad people use to get really mean when Kuma talked but these people wanted to hear Kuma talk!" Erza's ears perked at this information. "Bad people? Tell me. Who were the 'bad people'?"Erza held a protective arm around the girl and Kuma's amythest eyes looked up at hers. "The ones who had whips. They made Kuma pick up rocks because thats what kinda magic Kuma use. Earth Magic." Erza held Kuma tighter. "Whips? Did they hit you with the whips?" Kuma nodded. Natsu leaned in closed lips tighning in a thin line,eyes narrowing. Who would want to hit such a sweet girl?! "Whenever Kuma didnt pick up enough rocks or Kuma said something they didnt like they would hit Kuma right here." Kuma pointed at her neck where visious welches appeared when she pulled her hair back. Erza had fire in her eyes.

"Miss Scarlet? Whats wrong? Did Kuma make you angry too?! Gomen nesai! Kuma didnt mean to!" Kuma flinched a little when she saw Erza's hand reached out. Instead of a beating Kuma recieved she was returned with a loving hug and a soft caress to the cheek. "No ones gonna hit you. Not here. Ever. Got that?" Kuma was frozen but then she broke down in sobs holding the teenager as if that was her mother. Like this wizard could save her life. Natsu's expression softned. This girl was just to…sweet to be scarred emotionally like that. She made sure everyone was alright first. When Gray and him got in it just 20 minutes ago,Kuma wanted to take them to a doctor. When Mirajane explained that the fights were a daily basis Kuma said she felt dumb. "How do you feel dumb when you just came here 2 point 5 seconds ago?"Gray had asked. Kuma had just looked at the floor. Now Natsu knew why she was always quiet. She was taught that if she talked she would get beat. And allthough it was to horrible to even imagine people did that to children in this world. Maybe in another dimension it wouldnt have happened but Kuma was in this one. She couldnt escape that life.

"Erza's right. No ones hitting you unless they want to mess with your old Uncle Natsu."Natsu's fist punched his left palm as he smiled down at the small child. Fire surged around his fists. Kuma wiped away her tears a small uncertain smile crossing her lips. That made Natsu smile widened.

"Erza,I heard bits and pieces. Ill help whenever and however i can. Help send her to school,train,even watch her while your on missions." Erza smiled to. "You were always the hero weren't you Natsu?"

"What about us?"

The group looked up at the door. It was Mirajane Gray Lissana Kana and Elfman. They were smiling also. Kuma smiled back,just barely. 'Had those abusers beat her so much she's forgoten how to smile a real smile? Is she…broken? Like I am?'Erza thought as she looked at all her guildmates. Her friends. She picked up Kuma and ran her across the room like an airplane. Kuma was laughing. "Your staying with me! Got it?" Kuma laughed more and looked down at Erza. Erza grinned up at her. Kids. They were so…refreshing.

Natsu and the others grinned.

Gramps sighed but eventually smiled to. "Well then kiddo!" Everyone joined in.

"Welcome to FairyTail!"
