I remember it so clearly. Every agonizing second, minute, day, week, month…every agonizing year. Day after day, from the time the sun came up till the sun went down. Every jolt of pain, of magic. I could feel it, even in my restless sleep. All I could picture was what they had done. Strapping me down, forcing magic into my body. No matter how much I screamed and cried. No matter how much I wished I would just die. I knew I wasn't the only one subjected to such pain. While I slept, I could hear another child's scream. Even though I felt bad for the other child, I wished it upon them. Upon them, to save myself from the pain. Their screams hunted my dreams; till one day.
The institute exploded, a child walked past my room. Blowing my door off its hinges. I don't know if the other child meant to do it. I didn't care at the time. I just wanted out, I followed behind the other child. Once I was able to see the night sky. I stopped following the other child. Leaving that horrible building behind me.
It wasn't long before I found myself. Starving and near death. I couldn't get myself to move anymore. I heard a noise approach me though. The shuffling of feet, then a voice. I wanted to run from it, in fear it was someone from the institute that I had yet to meet. Yet their arms cradled me, holding me close to them. I could hear their heart racing. I touched the person's skin, just brushing my arm against theirs. Then I feel, and I no longer was able to hear that heart beat again.
I walked around many of places. Trying my best to keep to myself. Believing that if I touched someone they would die. Yet, that wasn't the case. I didn't kill who I touched. No, I did something more despicable. Something that could and would have people kill for. A power that one day, I learned could save me from them. Save me from anyone who would want to harm me.
One day, just a few months ago, I had stumbled upon a town called Mongolia. In that town there stood a Guild. One that I had heard about through my travels. I bumped into a young lady, upon saying sorry; I asked where the Guild was. She pointed me to a large building, saying it was the Guild I was looking for. I walked towards the building. Hoping that something good would come out of this. I walked up to the building. When I went to push open the door, someone else was coming out; and I ran into them.
I stumbled back before a hand reached out and grabbed mine. Stopping me from falling to the ground. My eyes widened instantly as I regained my balance. Pulling my hand away from the man that stood in front of me. He looked at me with a confused expression. Though I'm sure my expression was just as confused.
"Are you ok kid? You should really learn to be more careful." The tall blonde man said, looking over me.
"Y-you're not…you're not dead…" I stumbling out, shaking in place.
"Of course I'm not. Are you stupid? Or are you challenging me?"
"W-what!? N-no way!" I said as lightning sparked from my fingers. I looked at my fingers as the man did also.
"Are you a lightning wizard?"
"I-I think so?"
"You think so?"
"I've never used magic before…I don't know if my power is lightning or not."
"I'm Laxus, why did you come to Fairy Tail?
"I want to be a Fairy Tail wizard."
"You didn't know you had magic until now; but you came to Fairy Tail to be a wizard?"
"I-I did…"
"Do you have a name kid?"
"I-I don't know…"
"You don't know? What do you know?" He said as a group of people came up behind him. A woman with light brown hair. A man with green hair, and another man with a helmet on. I stepped away from the before stumbling again. Only to have my hand grabbed again. Keeping me on my feet.
"What did you find here Laxus?" The women said, looking me over. I looked away nervously. There was no way I could out run all four of them now. I just hoped that I wouldn't be hurt by them.
"Just someone who wants to join the guild. Let's go…we don't have time for this right now. Listen kid, if you want to join the guild you have to speak with gramps."
"The guild master is who he's referring to. That man sitting on the counter over there is who you need to speak with. I hope you get in. Fairy Tail is a nice guild for young people like you." The green hair man said.
"Evergreen, Bickslow, Freed; let's go. The sooner we leave the soon we come back."
"Of course Laxus!" They all said walking ahead of him. Laxus stood there for a moment longer. Watching me just a bit longer before I walked inside and he walked away. I heard the doors behind me close as I walked up to the guild master slowly. Trying to keep my presence unknown. Well that was until a pinkish red hair guy hit into me. Causing me to fall back. I closed my eyes, waiting to hit the ground. Yet I found myself being caught by another guy. One with dark blue, nearly black hair.
"Natsu, you should be careful. You hit into this girl!" The boy who caught me yelled. Pushing me to the side. I held my hands to my chest. Feeling both hot and cold at once. Looking down as they yelled. I noticed on hand had a warmth to them. The other hand, my fingertips were turning blue.
"Gray, Natsu that's enough!" The man that once sat on the counter said. Standing closer to me that I had hoped someone would get. Though today, everyone seemed to be closer to me than I had hoped, "Welcome to Fairy Tail child. How may we help you?"
"I-I want…I want to join Fairy Tail please!" I said in a panic. The man laughed and nodded.
"You may join Fairy Tail; I am the master of this guild. I am master Makarov."
"T-thank you master." I said bowing my head to him.
