Hi readers! This is my first Fairy Tail fanfic story and no bad comments if I get something wrong because I'm took broke to buy the comics.
Year X792
Unknown's POV
I was running, screaming and crying my heart out. I ran straight toward the open meadow and towards the horizon. Away from everyone and everything I knew. I went farther and faster hoping to escape, then nothing. Black. Falling. Nothing.
I woke up however many hours later. I have no idea who I am or where I came from. When I awoke, a farmer had found me in his fields. I apologized for being on his property without permission then asked where I was. He said we were on the outskirts of Onibus. I asked for directions to Fairy Tail and he said if I took the train from Onibus Station to Magnolia I could find the Fairy Tail guild hall by asking one of the town's residence for direction, because surely everyone knows fairy tail. Then as I thanked him and said goodbye walking off his wife came out to the field asking what was going on.
"This little girl got lost on her way to Fairy Tail. I was just giving her directions." he said smiling at his wife.
"Oh, well its getting late, the trains have probably stopped going for the night and its dangerous to travel alone at night, so why don't you stay with us?" she offered.
"That's very kind of you," I said, "but I can't accept, it is very important that I find Fairy Tail. I'm not sure why but it is." I mumbled the last sentence.
"How do you not know why you need to find Fairy Tail." the farmer's wife asked, "Not to be rude, you don't have to tell if you-"
"No no, it's alright." I replied. "I'm not sure why I need to find Fairy Tail because I lost my memory. The only thing I knew when I awoke today in your field was Fairy Tail. I'm just hoping someone there knows me or can help me figure out who I am."
"Then I insist you stay with us. It makes the situation worse that you have no memory." the farmers wife insisted.
"If you insist." I said and followed them to their house. I was given food, new clothes, a bed and anything else that the Scotts, the farmer and his wife, deemed I needed. Then after the Scotts had fallen asleep for the night, I was still awake. I couldn't sleep. I was too worried. I needed to know who I was and what happened to me. Then I fell asleep and had a nightmare about an enormous black and white monster. I woke up in cold sweats terrified. I walked to the bathroom and splashed water on my face. I looked into the mirror and I saw why I was being treated like a small child... because I am one. I couldn't be older than 10 years old. I had long brown hair in two pig tails on the sides of my head. I had blue-grey eyes and little pink lips. I was discovering myself all over again. I walked back to the makeshift bed Mrs. Scott had put together for me and fell asleep. My mind cleared and feeling a bit better.
The next morning I woke to a rooster crowing. I sat and looked out the little window at the sun coming up over the horizon. I then sat up and heard a knock on the door. I got up and walked over opening it. Mrs. Scott stood there holding a flowy yellow sundress that went to mid-thigh. It had a shiny silver zipper up the front and she also held a silver band headband and silver ballet flats and also a little silver cardigan. She said, "Good morning dear. I just brought you something to change into. I'll be downstairs making breakfast when your ready."
"Thank you." I said taking the clothing from her.
"No problem, my daughter Mallory grew out of these clothes years ago. They've just been sitting in the attic so I decided to give some of them a good scrubbing and they fit you perfectly."
"It was very kind of you and your husband to take me in for the night. Thank you." I said.
"We are happy to have you dear. Now you get dressed and I'll make some pancakes." she said smiling and shutting the door so I smiled back. I always find that's something that makes people like you more. When you smile, it makes other people smile and be happy even if you aren't.
Anyway, I changed and walked to the bathroom. I took my hair out of the two pigtails and let it fall down my back. I put the headband on to keep it from falling in my face and slipped on the cardigan and flats. I walked downstairs and Mrs. Scotts told me to sit so I did. She served pancakes and bacon not long after and we all ate together.
"So dear," Mrs. Scott said when we were finished and cleaning up, "I have packed you a bag with some clothes, a snack if your hungry on the train and a few books I think you'll enjoy. I just have one question, do you have money to buy a ticket at the station?"
"No ma'am, I was thinking of just jumping into the luggage car..." I said truthfully.
"When you get to the station, look in the little pocket at the very front of the bag." she said winking. I just nodded. I had only known Mrs. Scott for about 16 hours, but I knew she would never withdraw an offer or take back a gift she had given. I said thank you and goodbye to the merry couple about an hour later and began walking. It took about a half an hour, but I reached Onibus Station. I bought a ticket with the 20,000 Jewel Mrs. Scott had given me and got on the train. I was excited. I was finally about to find out why Fairy Tail was so important.
A few hours later the train rolled to a stop in Magnolia. I had finished one of the books given to me by Mrs. Scott and I loved it. It was the tail of a mermaid named Emily Windsnap (A/N: Anyone heard of or read the series? I read it in like 4th grade.). I then decided to stop for a snack at a pastry shop that was located across the street from the train station. I reached the shop and ordered a water and a pastry. I wasn't sure what it was, I just asked the waitress for the one she thought was best. Then when I finished and paid, before the waitress could walk away I said, "Could you give me directions? I'm new in town and I'm trying to find the Fairy Tail guild."
"Really? I can help you with that. I'm actually a Fairy Tail wizard. My name is Erza. What's yours?" she asked smiling down at me.
"I'm not exactly sure. Something happened to me and I don't remember anything except for the name Fairy Tail." I said.
"Well... I haven't ever see you around the guild hall, but maybe Natsu Grey and Lucy have. I'll ask them.
Erza's POV
I had just talked to a little girl who couldn't have been older than ten who didn't remember anything about herself except for Fairy Tail. I was curious if anyone knew her. I walked over to Natsu, Grey and Lucy, Grey and Natsu , naturally, were fighting as Lucy tried to split them up, but stopped when they noticed me. "You two and Lucy I need to talk to you."
"Okay." They said and the three of them followed me into the back room. "I just met a little girl who was looking for Fairy Tail. She doesn't know anything, not even her own name, but she remembers the name of our guild. I think we should bring her back to the guild with us and see if anyone has seen her before." I said.
"Yeah, the poor thing. Something horrible must have happened to her. Who is she? Maybe one of us has seen her before." Lucy said looking out the door at everyone in the shop.
"The little girl in a silver sweater and yellow dress in the back corner with the book." I said. Then Natsu and Grey looked out the door too.
"Oh, she's so cute." Lucy said.
"She's so tiny, but does anyone else sense that overwhelming magic power?" Grey said looking at her oddly.
"That's why I told her that I would bring her to Fairy Tail. I'll explain the situation to Mr. Yajima and take her to the guild now. When the job is done I'll see the rest of you there. Okay?" I said looking at Natsu and Grey who I knew would want to goof off. "And on the way back, check in on Wendy, please Lucy. She had a horrible case of the stomach bug this morning." I then left all of them to there thoughts and went to speak to Mr. Yajima. He said he also felt the magical presence and agreed that I should take her to Makarov at once. I then walked back over to the table she was at and said, "Well, I spoke to the owner and he is an old friend. He agrees that I should skip the rest of the job and leave it to my friends to take you to Fairy Tail immediately. Are you ready to go?" I said studying her tiny figure. She really was adorable. She would probably have fun hanging out with Wendy and Romeo.
"Yes Ms. Erza." she said looking into my eyes and smiling softly.
"Just Erza if you don't mind." I said returning her smile.
"Okay." she said happily, putting her book in her bag and leaving her money on the table for her food. We walked out of the restaurant and back to the guild.
Unknown's POV
As Erza and I walked to the Fairy Tail guild, I couldn't help but stare in wonder at everything. It was all so grand beautiful and magnificent. Then as we were about to reach the guild hall I stopped and just looked at it. It was huge and even more unique than I could have ever imagined. I sucked in a breath and let it out. I was nervous, but I kind of knew I would be okay. I followed Erza in and stopped when everyone looked at us. I got scared and everyone could see it. I heard curious whispers and shouts as people asked Erza who I was. I then got even more scared as it got louder and louder. I ran and hid behind Erza and she yelled over everyone, "BE QUIET! Your scaring her." everyone immediately quieted down and the crowd parted as a little man with white hair came through. He walked up to Erza and said, "Who is this?"
"I'm not sure. She's lost her memory. Poor thing doesn't even know her own name. All she knows is our guild name." she explained to the master.
"Come here child." he said holding out his hand. I was hesitant at first, but eventually came out from behind Erza with a encouragement, or as some call it, a shove from Erza. "I'm Master Makarov of the Fairy Tail Guild. Welcome." Master Makarov said.
"Do you think you could help me sir? I was just hoping that something or someone here could help me and that's why I remembered the name of your guild." I said timidly.
"We would love to help you child. We can sense your immense magic power, and welcome you to join our guild if you like." he said.
"Can I?" I asked, "Because I would love too. I don't know many people in this world, but the ones I do know are mostly from your guild." I said.
"Of course you can join. Mira! Could you bring the emblem doohickey (this is just something I see Makarov saying)?" he yelled the end.
"Of course master." a quiet and joyful voice said as a very pretty girl came our way with a stamper. "I'm Mirajane." she said to me. "I'm sad to hear you lost your memory, but not having a name just won't do. Would you like to pick one?" she said smiling happily.
"Um... I can do that?" I asked.
"Of course, but when we figure out your real name you can switch back if you wish." she said. "Now what'll it be? I'm sure the whole guild would love to know what to call you."
"Um... What month is it?"
"November."
"Um... Can my name be Topaz, ToTo (pronounced like the dog's name in the wizard of oz)?"
"That's a lovely choice. Now where would you like your guild mark?"
"Can I have it on my hand?" I ask quietly.
"Of course which one?"
"Right please." I say.
"There you go." she says stamping the emblem onto my hand.
"Thank you, Ms. Mirajane." I say with a smile.
"Just call me Mira." she says smiling brightly in response. "Alright everyone." she says looking at all the people filling the hall. "Erza brought us a new little friend. Her name is Topaz, but she prefers Toto."
"AWW! SHE'S SO CUTE!" and many phrases alike could be heard all throughout the hall.
"Alright children! Settle down!" Master Makarov yelled showing them his giant angry form. I got scared again and hid under a table. "Oh dear." he says and shrinks again.
"Oh Toto." Mira says as her and Erza rush over. They help me out from under the table and Mira pulls me into a hug wiping away a few stray tears.
"I'm sorry, Toto. I didn't mean to frighten you." the master says.
"It's alright." I say putting on a brave face.
"Now," the master said, "one of our own is in trouble. Little Toto here has lost her memory. She doesn't even remember her own name, thus her just now choosing one. The only thing she remembers is the name of our guild. We're going to figure out why, and help her regain her memory! Am I right?"
"Yeah!" everyone yells.
"Thank you everyone." I say quietly and sit down at the table.
"For the rest of today we celebrate our new member, but tomorrow the search for information begins." master says.
Then it was a mad house. There was drinking, fighting eating and just happiness all around. I smiled. I made friends with everyone in the guild and there were so many people to meet and learn the names of. I think my favorite people are Erza, Mira, Natsu, Grey, Lucy, Happy and Levy are my favorites. Levy is really nice and kind as well. She noticed the books I carried around in my little bag and she said that if I ever ran out of things to read, her little private library was open if I wanted to borrow one. Happy is adorable and he likes to pick me up and fly to the rafters in the roof of the guild hall. I find with all the craziness beneath me it is a great place to do some quiet reading. He also likes it when I rub his ears. Lucy is really pretty and she's really nice. She showed me some of her celestial spirits and accidentally interrupted a date between Scorpio and Aquarius. Aquarius was really angry. She tried to sweep Lucy away in a wave of water but I didn't let her. I convinced her not to do it some how and Lucy said she had never seen anyone talk down Aquarius before. Grey is funny. He likes to make a lot of cool things out of ice. He made me a Fairy Tail emblem out of Everice which can't be melted and I turned it into a necklace with a little help from Lucy and Levy. Natsu is pretty cool too. He decided to put on a little fireworks show for everyone. He's a lot of fun when he's not fighting with Grey or anyone for that matter. Mira said I'm the only person she's ever seen walk right into the middle of a Natsu an Grey fight, ask them both to stop, get them too and leave without violence. Then there's Mira. She's so sweet and kind. She even showed me some of her devil forms. During the fireworks show she changed into one of them and took me by the arms and flew me in patterns around the fireworks as they exploded and we even went right through one. Lastly but definitely not least there is Erza. Everyone is scared of her because she is so powerful, but they don't realize things like the prettiest smiles hold the deepest secrets, and the prettiest eyes have shed the most tears, or even that the kindest hearts have felt the most pain. Erza is pretty great. She's been like the big sister I never had. I'm pretty sure I'm one of the only people she's shown this side of her. I like that. It makes me feel special and important in a world where I'm pretty much forgotten everywhere else.
That night, Erza, Lucy, Levy, Mira, Lisanna, Juvia, Loki, Evergreen, Carla and Wendy, who I just met and like a lot, and I had a sleepover in Lucy's apartment. It pretty cramped with so many people in such a small place, but it was really fun. I would say its the most fun I had every had, but I couldn't say that and let it me truthful.
