A/N: Hi guys! I've been on this website for quite a while and I just thought it's finally time for me to give it a shot at writing. Now before you start reading you should all know somethings. You should know that, I'm not the brightest kid in town, have absolute ZERO creativity and at last but not least my English sucks as hell.

So I've done something very despicable. I brilliantly copied some dialogues/scenes from stuffs I read or seen before, which you might have as well. So pardon me in case you find any similarities. (I'm sure you will)

I know a lot of you are wondering about the story title. You see, it's a Spanish word, meaning 'Butterfly'. Got the concept from Fairy Tail 3rd ending credit which also happens to be Erza's theme song.

Well without any further ado, let's get this thing started!

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail. plus, I don't own the sources from where I took references either.

1. When you're captured

Eight year old Gray Fullbuster walked down the empty hallway. It's been another hectic day for him, at least hectic from his view only.

He absolutely hated this place, or the people in it to be specific. On the top of his 'I hate you' list was none other than the matron; Granny Hilda. Despite the old lady's lil' height and 'not-so-lil' age, she was one hell of a matron all right! She was strict, serious about her job and absolutely did not hesitate to beat him to a bloody pulp whenever he intended to initiate his THE one and only habit he could never possibly give up.

For that habit, he'd become the wide known, renowned 'perv' among the other children here and not to mention the wards also, just after two days he moved here from his old home town. Well, that's a record!

A couple of months ago, when his parents had been deceased in a car crash he was taken in by a neighbor, Mrs. Celia. The neighbor did it completely out of courtesy, which was not unknown to Gray. But he decided not to let it bother him as long as he had a place to stay.

Unlike him, Mrs. Celia certainly didn't just shrug off the fact that an unknown rascal was living with her family. But who's she to blame? Who'd wanna take care of a stranger eight years old kid when you already got a sack of problems of your own? Not that the neighbor even tried to hide that fact, at all.

The lady made it pretty clear that Gray was not welcomed there without even saying a single word about it. So Gray did the only thing that a kid would do in a situation like this; he ran away.

Just when he was starting to regret the idea of running away in the first place, he found himself wandering around in the streets of the city of Magnolia. He was walking aimlessly, trying to figure out the surroundings and thinking that there's a strong possibility that he's lost. Just as he took a sudden turn backwards, he bumped into something hard and landed on the dusty ground.

"Ouch…" he rubbed his head while trying to savor the impact from the fall.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" he heard a high pitched female voice. Tilting his head upwards he found out that chirpy voice belonged to none other than that 'something hard' he crashed on.

It was a female around her teens, had medium-length brown hair tied up in a pony tail and dark eyes. The brunette was dressed in a light blue sundress and a pair of slippers .The girl was holding a grocery bag in her right arm. She looked quite average, no one who'd stand out in a crowd. No wonder why Gray didn't notice her.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" The teen kept apologizing like a broken record while bowing her head up and down violently. "I really didn't see you there."

"Yeah…likewise." the rascal muttered. Hearing Gray's voice the girl looked up and finally noticed the person she crashed into for the first time. Upon noticing the latter her eyes immediately softened.

"Oh...you poor baby." the brunette said in a sorry voice and offered her free hand.

Gray's left eyebrow twitched in annoyance. He definitely didn't appreciate some random chick popping outta nowhere and addressing him as 'Baby' which he was most definitely not!

The latter got up from the ground completely ignoring the brunette's helping hand. "Whatever..." he murmured while dusting himself. Then he took off just like that leaving the brunette behind.

After an hour or so, Gray was still wandering around the streets of Magnolia trying to plan his next step. Not being able to figure out any, he let out a long frustrated sigh. He really was lost. The boy sighed again and took a turn to his left, then right, then left, then another couple of lefts & rights and finally found himself back to where he had begun. Talk about getting completely mazed!

Just when he was about to start another one of his long and confusing round-ups, he felt a pair of dark eyes gazing at him intensely from a nearby shop. He stayed still and from the corner of his eyes he confirmed that the gazer was none other than the brunette he had bumped into an hour earlier.

Why the hell is she following me? the rascal thought silently.

Thinking that she might have some sick motive, just when he was about to turn on his heels to leave, he felt a strong hand grasping his wrist.

Uh-oh…too late.

"Hey! Wait a sec." Gray looked up to see the very concerned face of the brunette. "Um...I've been watching you for a while and-"

"You're stalking me!?" shouted out the boy cutting her off in mid-sentence. "No! Of course not! …Well maybe." she admitted. Gray raised an eyebrow.

"Anyway, as I was saying, I've been watching you for a while and just wondering…" She trailed off. "I was wondering If you're lost or something. I mean if you are I can help," Hearing this Gray prepared himself to tell the brunette to go away and mind her own business with some other words along the line, but halted when he remembered that he indeed was lost and this chick might be his only chance.

The sighed audibly and begun "Yeah, I guess I am…a little lost." he admitted. "And let go of my wrist woman!" he yelled out.

"Mm-hmm, thought so. So… you want me call your parents?" said the teen never letting go of Gray's wrist. The brunette's question made him stop struggling and say in a distant voice, "I don't think they'll hear you…" Gray tailed of looking away.

Hearing Gray's reply the brunette picked up the hidden meaning behind the statement in a split second. Because she' s already heard this same sentence like… a thousand times by now, thanks to her job.

So instead of letting Gray go like he said the teen jerked him towards her and pulled him into a bear hug. "Oh, you poor unfortunate soul! I'm SO sorry!" Then just as fast as he was pulled into the hug, she suddenly broke the hug THAT fast before the rascal even had the time to protest.

The brunette held him by both of his shoulders and looked at him seeming almost…happy? Okay, that was an expression Gray most definitely wasn't expecting. One minute she's about to cry and on the next her eyes are practically sparkling? A Sinister feeling that this chick was up to no good came rushing into his mind."O-Okay, nice seeing you again lady, I'll be going now."

Gray started to free himself from the brunette deadly grasp but she made it pretty clear that she had no such intention of letting go of him by tightening her grip. "No way!" she suddenly yelled out startling him. "You're coming with me, young man!"

And before Gray even knew it, he found himself being hauled across the crowed of Magnolia under the fragile looking brunette's not-so-fragile grasp.

A/N: That brunette chick's just a minor OC and yep that's the same Granny Hilda from OVA 1. I'm not gonna say stuffs like 'No flamez please' or even 'Please be nice!' like most new authors do. Cause that'll be just asking for it -_-
