I don't own fairy tail
Family matters
Chapter one
Gajeel's pov
Gajeel was already in a bad mood to start the day off…. It was the same day it had happened so many years ago. Before he realized it, he was sucked into a flashback.
*start flashback*
It was a normal day amongst the top of the mountains. One of the normal things to find among the various types of nature was, two little kids, a boy and a girl, playing together.
The were siblings, twins in fact. On that particular day they were playing near a valley that had a steep cliff.
A river snakes it's way down the center of the valley. It was a large river and very deep. The river was mainly rapids and had lots of very dangerous rocks jutting out in various ways. It was very unlikely one would survive if one go caught in the river.
The twins didn't believe in miracles, either. So naturally they were very cautious of he river and cliff. In fact, they were almost to cautious. Whenever they were going to go in one direction, they would fling themselves in the other.
When the boy playfully shoved his sister, she threw herself to the side. That caused her to trip over a rock, therefore resulting in her falling over the side of the cliff.
Barely managing to catch a hold of the edge of the cliff. As she grabbed hold, the girl pleaded for help, fear etched into every word she spoke. By the time her brother got to her, the cliff had crumbled and she was falling.
When he reached for her, he seen fear that he had never seen before in her eyes as she stretched for his hand.
Time seemed to slow as she fell through the air. He heard her scream pierce the air as she screamed for him, and as her life depended on it. In unison to her screams, he shouted her name until his voice went horse.
He seen her fall into the water with a splash. He waited several minutes to see if she would resurface, but not one trace of her showed up in his line of sight.
At that moment a huge metal dragon came to check on the things he had heard. When he seem that little boy in rage, he decided he would train him.
Without the dragon knowing, the boy made a vow. He vowed to get as strong as he could, as to set a goal that might represent his sister, one where he could memorize her by, even long after she was gone.
*end flashback*
Pantherlily could always tell that this day was a bad one for Gajeel. So Lily always left by himself.
Most of the time, Gajeel usually trained as hard and as long as he could on those days. Usually those training seasons lasted for days.
But today he had a nagging feeling that he had to go to the guild first.
*Mya's pov*
'Finally, I'm back at the guild' I thought as I passed through the doors.
Everybody went quiet, instantly making things awkward.
*cough* "Hey, guys… I'm back…" I said nervously.
A person I didn't recognize came up to me.
"Mya! It's so good to see you again…. Did you find who you were searching for?"
That's when it hit me. "Mira! Oh my! How are you? You look stunning."
She beamed. "Why thank you. As ar-" she was cut off by a boy with pink hair.
"Whoa! Scrap metal… you turned into a chick! Haha sucks to be you metal head!" He started poking me in various places, like the stomach and arms.
"You best get away from me, before I lose my cool… now! I'll tell you this only once… I have always been a female, and my name is Mya! I don't know a 'Scrap metal' or 'metal head'!"
By this time I was surrounded by people, young and old. Why did Emma and iris go looking for an apartment?
"Here, come with me…. Your favorite drink is still strawberry lemonade, right?" Mira says as she is ushering me out of the group.
As she was making the drink, I heard everybody go quiet again. Then the pink haired boy spoke up… but I wasn't listening.
A man came and sat a couple of chairs away. 'Man, he looks familiar'.
"Give me the strongest you've got!" He snapped at Mira.
I studied him for a but longer, but he ignored me.
"Wow, Mya…. You and Gajeel look so much alike!" Mira chirps out.
Both of our heads snap to look at the other person.
My eyes go wide…. I found who I was looking for. But all I could muster was "Gajeel…" in my faintest voice.
After the whole guild was quiet for at least five minutes, Gajeel finally decided to speak. "What the hell! You're suppose to be dead!" He seemed more shocked than anything.
That's when I snapped. "What do you mean 'What the hell!'? Not only that, but when did you become a fucking dragon slayer!?"
"I seen you drowned! That's why I said 'What the hell!' And I became one right after you went into that river. When did you become a dragon slayer?!" He snapped back.
That's when all of my emotions came flooding back to me. I launched myself at Gajeel, tears streaming down my face.
Gajeel awkwardly comforted me, as I sobbed hysterically onto his shoulder. "Shh… It'll be okay. Hey, listen to me! I haven't ever forgotten about you. You were always important to me! Hell! I've even made a vow to remember you by." He whispered all that so only
I could hear him, even over my sobs.
That boy with pink hair had to ruin the moment. "Hey, who are you! What is Scrap metal to you? What is your type of magic and why are you here?"
I slowly turn towards him and say. "My name is Mya-" I turn to Gajeel, and he seemed to get my train of thought.
"Redfox," he whispered ever so slightly into my ear.
"- Redfox. Gajeel is my better half-"
"Not true. You haven't seen the rings I have do-" it was my turn to interrupt him, I was getting sick of this game.
"WILL YOU PLEASE LET ME FINISH! Thank you… Gajeel is my better half, as much as i am his better half at the same time. We are, in fact, twins," nobody seemed surprised but Natsu, I believe that is his name. "As for my magic, I'm a lightning dragon slayer… An-"
"That's why you smell like Laxus! Do you know where the dragons are?"
"-D I've joined this guild many years ago, specifically seven and a half years ago." I continued as if he hasn't even spoken. Them I ask Mira. "Where is the master? I wish to speak with him…"
"He will be back tomorrow, then you can speak with him," she says all cheerily. I always thought that she was way to happy at times.
Gajeel took everybody's silence into his favor and started asking me questions. "Dammit, tell me how long we were separated, than! And how the fuck did you get out of that river!?"
I have him a long look and decided it wasn't a good idea to snap back at him. "It happened 16 years ago to this day. Our birthday is February 12 and we are 21. The reason I made it out of that river… is for you to find out later. At least until the person who saved me comes back to get me."
He seemed to be pretty angry that I wouldn't tell him, but, hey I'll do as I please.
That's when I decided to meet and say hi to people I haven't seen in a while or at all.
