Lies and Truths

A/N: It's taken me forever, but I'm finally putting my Fairy Tail fic online. :D

This story follows my OC, Alice Duskblood, and her daughter, Violet. There will be a little bit of AlixGajeel (GAli), but mostly AlixGray (GrAli) because GaLe is awesome. I'm not sure yet, but I may put in a little bit of NaLu and JErza, with a slight possibility for some Lyvia. If you're a Gruvia fan, you're in the wrong place and you might as well just stop reading now.

Clearly, I do not own anything in this story aside from my characters and the story ideas. Reviews are greatly appreciated, but don't be rude or mean. Now on to the story! :D

Chapter 1: Fairy Tail

It was a normal day at Fairy Tail. Though the rain fell heavily outside, all was normal inside the building. Natsu was yelling at Gray, Gajeel was eating a bowl of nails, and everyone was having a good time talking and drinking. Juvia sat by a window, starting at Gray in her usual stalker way, daydreaming of what it would be like to be carried to him.

Everyone, even Juvia, looked at the doors as they opened. In walked a small, pale girl, who was only a little bigger than Happy. The girl, all dressed in purple from the bow tying her long, blood-red hair up in two ponytails to the small purple shoes on her feet, walked in confidently with her shoulders back and her head held high. She was completely soaked, but there was determination in her ice blue eyes.

The small girl confidently walked to the bar, ignoring everyone around her. She stopped right in front of the short old man who wore colorful clothes, and asked "are you the guild master?"

"Hm?" Makarov looked down at her from where he sat on the counter. "Yes, I'm Makarov."

"Please allow me to join your guild," the girl said as she bowed respectfully.

"Hm…" He looked at her, seemingly contemplating her request. "Okay," he suddenly said with a smile.

The girl smiled, and excitedly said "thank you!"

Mirajane gently grabbed the girl's arm and put a royal purple guild mark on it. "Hi, I'm Mirajane. What's your name," she asked with a smile.

"Violet," the child said, admiring her new guild mark.

"Everyone, it's time to celebrate," Makarov shouted. Everyone cheered and drank their beers.

A cheerful blonde girl walked up to Violet. "Hi, I'm Lucy," she said with a smile.

"Hi," Violet smiled.

"What kind of magic do you use," Lucy asked.

"Water magic," Violet answered.

"You should meet Juvia, she's a water mage too."

"Juvia hasn't met many other water mages," Juvia said.

"I haven't either," Violet said.

Juvia looked around. "Where's Gray-sama?"

Lucy looked around too. "Looks like Gajeel is gone too."

"Should we go look for them," Violet asked.

"No, leave them alone," Makarov said.

"Do you need help finding a place to stay," Mira asked.

"No, thanks, I found one before I came here," Violet said. "I should go unpack though." She walked towards the door.

Lucy finally noticed Natsu staring at Violet. "Natsu, don't be rude."

"See you tomorrow," Wendy said to Violet, waving.

Violet waved back before leaving the building.

"Master, do you think that she could be," Mira started to ask as soon as Violet was gone.

"I don't know, but that's none of our business, so we should leave it alone," Makarov said. "If your guess is correct, we will likely find out soon," he added before drinking his beer.

"What," Wendy and Lucy confusedly asked in unison.

"It's nothing," Makarov said, "and don't go after Gray or Gajeel. Both need some time alone."

Instead of going back to her apartment, like she had originally planned, Violet wandered around in the rain. She found a nice quiet spot in the park and laid on the ground. She closed her eyes and relaxed, enjoying the feeling of each drop falling on her face.

"You shouldn't be out in the cold rain," a deep voice said.

"I'll be fine," Violet said. She opened her eyes and looked to the left to see the source of the voice, a man in dark clothing with his face and hair covered. "You must be Mystogan. I've heard of you."

The man froze when he saw her eyes. "Who are you," he asked.

"The name's Violet, and you didn't answer my question," she said, observing the small amount of his face that was visible. "I'm a Fairy Tail mage too now."

"Oh…" Mystogan said. "I'm sorry, but I have to go." He disappeared even quicker than he had appeared.

Violet stood up and walked to her apartment. "That went better than expected," she said after locking the door behind her.

Gray was sitting under a tree in the park when he saw Violet walking away. He stood up, leaning against a tree, and sighed. "Who the hell is she," he mumbled to himself.

"What the hell is going on," Gajeel angrily said to himself as he walked through town, avoiding everyone. After a few minutes, he reached the end of the city, but decided to keep walking.

"Maybe I can ask her whe-no, that's stupid," He thought aloud. "Where the fuck could she be?"

A few hours later, Wendy and Charle came running to him. "There you are," they yelled in unison.

He looked up and saw them. "Yeah, something wrong?"

"We've been looking for you for hours," Charle said, looking displeased as always. "What's wrong with you? Is it Violet?"

"It's nothing, just forget it," Gajeel said in an annoyed tone.

"It's not nothing," Charle said. "Why is everyone acting so weird? She may be young, but I know there's something you aren't telling us."

"Charle," Wendy said, noticing how annoyed Gajeel seemed.

"I said it's nothin', stop bothering me," Gajeel said.

"Sorry," Wendy nervously said. "We wanted to make sure that you were okay."

"I'm fine," he said before walking away.

"Something doesn't seem right here," Charle said after Gajeel had disappeared.

"Maybe we should ask Violet if she knows anything," Wendy suggested.

"No, she seems to be oblivious to whatever it is," Charle said. "Let's go home. We can ask someone about it tomorrow."

"Okay," Wendy said with a smile.

Violet smiled as she unpacked her luggage. "Today was more productive than I expected." She stopped when she saw the picture that she had hidden in one of her suitcases. She picked up the picture and stared at it as her eyes filled with tears. The small girl fell to the floor, hugging the picture and crying.

After a few hours, Violet forced herself to stop crying and hid the picture. Just as she started unpacking again, there was a knock at the door. "Coming," she yelled and quickly washed off her face before running to the door.

When she opened the door, she saw Lucy standing there. Lucy smiled and said, "sorry to bother you, but I wanted to make sure that you're okay."

Violet looked at Lucy as if she were crazy, but stepped aside to let her in. "You aren't bothering me, but how did you find me?"

"I asked around and someone finally showed me where to go," Lucy said as she entered the apartment. "I just wanted to know if you're okay. I know the guild can be overwhelming at times."

"Oh," Violet said. She closed the door behind Lucy then smiled. "I'm okay, and I think I'll really like the guild."

"It's a great guild to be in," Lucy smiled then looked around. "Wow, your apartment is much nicer than mine."

"Really? It was the cheapest I could find that was decent enough," Violet said. "Make yourself comfortable." She smiled and sat on the couch.

"Thanks," Lucy smiled back and sat next to her. "Oh, and I'm sorry that everyone was acting so weird earlier. I guess they're surprised that someone so young joined the guild."

"I never really thought of that. I guess anyone would be shocked by a three year old joining a guild," Violet said.

"What? You're only three? You look older than that," Lucy said in shock.

"Yeah," Violet said. "I guess it runs in the family," she mumbled to herself.

"Is your family here too," Lucy asked.

Violet sighed. "No, it's just me," she said, trying not to get sad again. "Anyways, you're the stellar spirit mage, right?"

"Yeah," Lucy said, taking her key ring out of her pouch. "These are the keys of my spirits."

"Cool," violet excitedly exclaimed. "You and Natsu always destroy stuff, right? That's so awesome!"

"Well, that's mostly Natsu, Gray and Erza, but yes. They destroy towns too often." Lucy sighed.

"Awesome! I love destroying things!"

Lucy sighed again. "You would fit in well here."

"Hopefully, though I'm not sure if Natsu would like me much since I'm a water mage."

"I'm sure he will. He gets along with Juvia fine, and she's a water mage," Lucy said with a smile.

"She's the quiet one with blue hair, right?"

Lucy nodded.

"I hope she'll fight me. I've only met one other water mage, and that's who taught me magic," Violet said. "I've read about all of the mages in Fairy Tail though."

"Did the person who taught you magic not want to come with you," Lucy asked.

"It's…complicated," Violet said, trying not to seem sad.

"Oh," Lucy said.

For hours, Lucy answered Violet's questions about Fairy Tail and told her all about everyone in the guild and her experiences, until she noticed the clock on the wall.

"I can't believe it's nearly midnight," Lucy said, standing up. "I should go; we both need some sleep."

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow," Violet smiled. She got up and walked Lucy to the door. "Bye bye," she said, opening the door.

"Bye," Lucy said with a smile before leaving.

Violet closed the door and locked it. "So I guess this means that Lucy and Wendy are the only ones who don't know about her," she thought aloud. "I'm sure Gajeel knows a lot, since he disappeared after he saw me, and if he knows then Juvia might know a something too."

The girl went to her room as she continued to ponder. "Gray must have been close to her too," she said while changing clothes. She went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth, still trying to organize her information. "I wonder if she's the reason why Master agreed to let me join so easily."

Violet braided her hair then got out the picture that she had hidden earlier. "Maybe tomorrow will be just as productive," she said to herself then kissed the picture. "Good night," she said to the picture after getting in bed. Soon, she was fast asleep, hugging the picture tightly.

When Lucy got home, Erza, Natsu and Happy were sitting in her room. "How do you keep getting in," Lucy yelled when she saw her friends.

"Lucy, do you have any fish," Happy asked.

"Of course not," Lucy yelled. "Get out!"

"Where were you? We were getting worried," Erza said.

"So you broke into my apartment again?!" She stopped, looking at Natsu. "What's with you?"

Natsu, who was deep in thought, looked up at Lucy. "Sorry, did you say somethin'?"

Lucy frowned. "What's wrong with everyone? You've all been acting weird since Violet got here."

"Lucy, don't.." Happy said in a warning tone.

"Don't what? Why is everyone so upset? She didn't do anything," Lucy said. "She doesn't even seem to know you, aside from what she's read about you."

"Just forget it," Natsu said, getting up. "We should go find Gray." He walked to the door.

"Wait, master said to leave him alone," Lucy said.

"Oh well," Natsu said before leaving.

Happy sighed. "Natsu ran off again." He flew out the door.

Lucy followed him. "Why is everyone acting like this? Even Gajeel disappeared, and he hasn't been here as long as I have."

"Lucy, I can't tell you, but we should find Natsu," Happy said.

"Just tell me; I'll find out anyways," Lucy said. "And I'll give you fish if you tell me," she added.

"Fine," Happy reluctantly said, "but you have to promise not to talk about it. Some people get upset when they're reminded."

Lucy nodded.

"Violet looks exactly like," he started to say but heard Erza's armor clanking behind them. He turned around and saw her walking behind them. Terrified, he yelled, "I didn't say anything," and flew off.

Erza rolled her eyes. " He meant to say that she reminds us of an old friend." She looked around. "So where did Natsu go?"

Lucy pointed straight. "He went that way, but he disappeared. He said he was going to find Gray."

"That idiot," Erza said. "We have to hurry," she yelled as she started to run.

"Why," Lucy asked, running after Erza.

"We need to stop him," Erza replied.
