Family

Prologue

Hey there everyone, this is my first fanfiction ever, so I hope you enjoy it. I will tell you know many things will be different than the anime in here. I'm not planning to use everything that they did. So some arcs might not even exist in this story. I will also tell you that I'm not planning to update super quick, or update with really long chapters, either. On average, my chapters should be around 1,000+ words. I will tell you all right now this is an OC romance story, although I don't know who she'll end up with yet. I would, however, love to hear some reviews from everyone so I know how I'm doing. And how I can improve. Thanks, and I hope you enjoy this chapter!

By the way, I think I should inform you all that I plan to update at least once a month, so don't think I'm quitting the story just because I haven't updated in the next few weeks. I'm pretty busy with school and life in general, but I do plan on finishing this story. Now, I hope you enjoy!

Oh, and I don't own Fairy Tail, I do, however, own my OC's.

X O X O

James chuckles, staring down at his younger sister, a sinister smirk forming on his face. His baby sister, only six years old, is shaking like a leaf, her gray eyes widening in confusion.

"Oh, Jae, I promise that I'll kill you quickly, okay? You'll feel no pain at all." He whispers to her, placing his magic gun on her temple. Jae tenses up, closing her eyes tightly. She saw how he killed her parents, and it wasn't done nicely. "No need to tense up, baby girl." He says, throwing his head back and laughing loudly.

"Y-You killed them! James, h-how can you kill your own parents?" The little girl screams, tears streaming down her face, "Y-You did so many cruel things to them, and listened to their cries!" James smirks, stroking her face with his gun, listening to her freak out.

"I did what I had to do. They don't like magic, and they can't control magic. I, however, am the only person in this family who can do magic!" His dark blue eyes flash dangerously. "I had to kill them, they wouldn't let me leave to continue my training. I am going to kill you, too. You'll be able to visit mom and dad again. How caring am I?" He pats her head roughly, watching her flinch under his touch, "Just last night you let me tuck you in. You afraid now, baby girl?"

"Stop calling me that!" She screams, knocking his hand off her head and glaring dangerously up at her brother, "You killed o-our parents because of magic! You're heartless!" Her brother glares, punching her in the face. She yelps out in pain, holding her cheek.

"You are all useless and pathetic!" He declares, kicking her in the side. She flies across the room, slamming into the wall and curls up in a ball, coughing up blood. "I'm going to take my sweet time on you, Jae." He says darkly, walking up to her, "I want to hear you scream my name in pain and fear. I crave for it." He chuckles, hovering over the girl and pulling out his knife. "I was just going to shoot you, but I want to experiment on how to use my knife to kill others. Did you know I was the one killing those missing girls?"

"They trusted you! How could you do that! You were the towns hero because of your magic! They loved you deeply, and you slaughtered them like a monster? I will always hate you!" She screams louder, wondering how the villagers can't hear her scream. James smiles sweetly, kicking her in her side roughly again and running his finger down his the knife's blade. He grips the handle tightly before slamming his knife in her side. She throws her head back and yells in agony, closing her eyes.

"Yell my name!" He orders, pulling his knife out and licking her blood, snickering. "Mom was always protective over you, baby girl. She wanted you to feel special and get whatever you want. I asked for one thing and was denied. How fair is that?" Jae slowly opens one of her eyes, breathing heavily. Her brother lost his mind, and fell into darkness. That's the only thing she could think of. How could her sweet, caring brother be a monster underneath? He never harmed her, and always stood up for her. She suddenly screams louder, feeling his knife dig deeper into her arm.

"I can't take much more of this, anymore!" She thinks to herself, sweat dripping down the side of her face, "I need to make him stop. He won't change back!" She gasps in pain, feeling pain shoot all throughout her body. "James!" She spits out, closing her eyes and concentrating on a spell she's been working on the past few months. It'll be risky, and she might even pass out after casting it. "Earth magic: Earth dome!" She shouts, branches sprouting out from the ground and forming a shield around her and knocking James out of the area.

"Oh? Earth magic?" James asks, chuckling in surprise, "Baby girl did keep secrets from us then. Guess I'll just break it down." Unknown to him, his little sister lays motionless in the dome, barely breathing, and unconscious.

The next day Jae slowly opens her eyes and looks around, her eyes widening in surprise. She's still inside of her Earth dome, and still breathing. She sits up slowly and groans, placing her hand over her head in pain. Her brother did get her quite well.

"James?" She calls out weakly, listening to the surroundings around her. Silence greets her back. "James!" She shouts, standing up, feeling her knees shake underneath her. "I guess it's safe to come out. I don't even hear breathing. Why is the village so quiet? What time is it now, anyways? How long have I been knocked out?" She asks herself, sighing. After a few minutes of silence she walks towards the side of her dome and pushes it through, watching the earth crumble to the ground. She walks out of the dome slowly and looks around her house, wincing at her parents lifeless bodies. She kneels down in front of her mother's and frowns, tears falling down her cheeks. It wasn't a dream. Her brother really turned demonic and killed her whole family. "M-Mom." She chokes out after a few minutes of silence, "I-I don't know if you can h-hear me, but y-you were right! Magic does make people evil, but..." She stops, taking in a deep breath, "Magic saved my life, and I...I believe we can use magic to help others. I'm so sorry for lying to you, though. I was... learning about my magic powers without telling you." She mumbles, tears dripping down and hitting her mother's body, "I-I don't think I can stay here, but I'll bury you and dad, together. Don't worry about me now mom, I'm going to h-have to leave this village. He might come back and try to kill me." She announces, kissing her mother's cheek and walking towards her dad. She sits down on her knees and stares at him, forcing out a smile. Her father always told her to smile; he told her she looked like a princess. "D-Daddy, I'm sorry. I couldn't protect you from him. I-I should have tried harder!" She whispers harshly, berating herself, "I-I miss you both so much already, b-but at least you are with mom. Together forever, right?" She lets out a choked up laugh, "I'm going to g-go outside now. The village is too quiet... I'll be back in a few minutes, daddy." She tells him gently, placing a kiss on his forehead and standing up, her knees shaking like a leaf.

Jae walks towards the front door and walks out, her eyes widening from surprise. Her whole village is destroyed. Bodies scattered all around the ground with fears in their eyes, houses were burnt to the ground, and animals were hung from the buildings. She knew only one person could have done this. And it was her own living brother, James. Jae swallows nervously, feeling her stomach quiver. The stench of dead bodies were too overwhelming for her. She falls down her knees and throws up her dinner, gagging once in a while.

She stands up quickly and frowns, grabbing her bleeding side. She has to clean her wound and wrap it up before she loses more blood. She walks back into her house and heads towards the bathroom. She turns on the sink and grabs a wash rag, putting it under the faucet. She removes her shirt and winces, looking at all the wounds on her body. She has deep gashes and bruises scattered all around. "Stop thinking of this right now. I need to clean my wound and bury everyone here. Then I'll leave before he comes back to kill me." She thinks to herself, oblivious to the tears falling down her cheek.

After she finished cleaning her wounds and bandaging them she leaves the bathroom and enters her room. She needs to put on new clothes and pack for her to survive. She pulls out some jeans and a random shirt and slips into them quickly. She throws in random clothes, collects the money her parents have, and puts in her toothbrush and brush. She walks out of her room and places her bag down on the floor. She exits the house and enters her shed, pulling out a shovel to start digging holes. She could have done it easily with her magic, but she felt like her parents deserved a proper burial.

X O X O

Jae stands in front of her village entrance and wipes the sweat off her forehead, leaving a line of dirt. She finally finished burying everyone in her village. It took her hours to dig hole after hole, but she knew they deserved a proper burial. She walks up to her parents graves and smiles sadly down at them.

"I'm sorry I wasn't the daughter you guys hoped for," She says softly, "I wish I could stay, but James might come back soon, and I need to leave." She gets down on her knees and places two red roses on the graves, "I'll visit again, in the future." She kisses her finger tips and presses them down on the graves. "Love you, mom. I love you too, daddy." She whispers, picking up her bag and slinging it on her shoulder. She walks towards the entrance and smiles one more time, "Goodbye, my home." She turns on her heel and rushes into the forest, only having the moon for her light source. "I will become stronger to protect the ones I love!" She declares to herself silently, leaving her home.

And there is the prologue! I hope you were able to enjoy it. I had fun writing it, although, I didn't like writing the sad parts, but I guess that couldn't be helped. I'm looking forward to reading your reviews! Next chapter will be a time skip! I hope to hear from you all soon! I do hope she didn't come off to be a Mary Sue, if she did, could someone please tell me and why she came off like that? Thanks!
