Blaire was rummaging through her mother's closet that had not been opened for the last 10 was coughing badly as there was much dust in took out a carton box from the closet and removed the dust from it. In a neat handwriting, it was written:
ERZA SCARLET-MEMORIES OF FAIRYTAIL
Yes that was her mother's handwriting alright. Blaire could feel her eyes getting watery as she took a tour down the memory lane. The image of her mother's beautiful scarlet hair came in front of her couldn't ever forget them, not even after she had died. She even remembered how her mom had died. Erza had died fighting, she was a martyr. Blaire was quite young at that time, probably 8 years old. Her father Jellal had died soon after she was born and didn't even remember him. But her mom used to tell her about him. But the loss of her mother had been too much for her. This had even made her despise wizards.
Blaire wiped her tears and came back to the present. There was no way she could ever get her mother back. The room was silent except the splashing of waves could be heard from the shore. Blaire opened the box and found some photos of her mother and her friends. She could recognize some of them: Natsu,Lucy,Mirajane,Juvia and Gajeel. But there was this one black haired wizard who she couldn't recognize. His eyes seemed familiar though.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. "Come in!" Blaire said.
A man in his thirties with black hair, thick glasses and a tray in his hand came in. He looked as if he were still in his twenties. His eyes had sort of a sparkle in them and they looked quite playful. "So Blaire what's up today? Oh I see looking for something eh?" He said with a grin.
" Yeah, sort of. I thought about getting close to my mom again." Said Blaire with her eyes hidden behind her scarlet hair. Her hair were just like her mom's, infact in many ways she was like her; she had inherited very little from her father. "You too were once a part of FairyTail, I bet you can identify this wizard?" Blaire asked him. "I can tell you that only when I'll see the photos…".
The man went over to her keeping the tray on the desk. "which one do you ask?"
"This one. " Blaire said pointing out to the man with black,spiky hair.
Her companion smiled as he looked at the photo. " You couldn't identify him even though he's so close to you, I pity you Blaire. This is none other than me,Gray Fullbuster."
Blaire couldn't believe what Gray had just said. He was just so different now. His hair were not quite spiky but then when she saw him take off his glasses, she could tell it was him.
"You were quite different back then right…" Blaire said as she put her head on his shoulder.
TO BE CONTD.
