Sorry for the large hiatus from this and many other stories! I am in the process of rewriting the chapters into my current quality of writing as I have improved over the last year. So please stick with me for the next few chapters. Thank you.


'The darkness start to seep into her already broken heart.'

The residents of Magnolia town were used to the noise and trouble that came with holding the Fairy Tail guild within their borders. The warm,summer days seem to make many of the wizards even more active than the cold,brisk days of the winter. Other than the quite talk and rustling of customers at the small cafes around the quite town there was loud clashing from inside the Fairy Tail guild and these noises were amplified when the large,wooden doors creaked always most of the noise was being made by Natsu Dragoneel and Gray Fullbuster. They always seemed to be fighting but it had been that way since they had laid eyes on each other while the were both with the guild. Some think it may be because Natsu has the power of fire while Gray harnesses the power of Ice but most believe it is a rivalry that just came to be.

"Hey Ice Princess, quit sticking me to the floor with your ice! this is a fight! " Natsu angrily shouted at the black haired boy,while creating ball of flames in his hands.

"And put on some clothes with ya!" He added as he noticed yet again that Gray had seemed to loose all his clothes except his boxers for the hundredth time that day. Gray seemed to have a strange knack for this and more of a surprise is that he did not know or feel this happen.

"Then use your fire to melt it,moron!" Gray replied to Natsu with a slight chuckle before going in for the final blow of their daily fight. As Gray's fist was only inches away from making a direct collision with Natsu nose a force stopped him dead in his tracks. Any talking or laughter that normally filled the guild hall had stopped dead for a moment as Erza appeared to be the force. Both Natsu's and Gray's faces dropped slightly.

"Stop now, you heard the master no fighting inside the guild at this time. "

Both of the boys stepped back, losing any will to fight for now.

" But why now? " Natsu asked,generally curious on why she had not left them to continue to finish their fight as it was good as over anyway.

" He never gave a specific reason as to why, however according to Mirajane a Fairy Tail wizard who has been on a job for years is on her way back to the guild"

Upon hearing the conversation they were having Lucy jumped down from her stool at the bar and walked over to the boys with happy flying beside her and Plue plodding along beside her,while shaking.

" You mean a wizard has been gone for that long, Erza? How could a job take that long? "
Erza took a moment to think before answering the blonde Celestial Wizard.

"I'm not sure right now but once they get here I will make sure to get that information out of them" She had an hunch of who it could be.

After Lucy had joined the small group, the rest of the guild had gone back to laughing and talking between themselves which set the mood of the guild hall back to it's original atmosphere. It wasn't long before the Large guild door has swung open which caused every one of the residents inside to stop talking once again and turn towards the doors. A girl not any older than Lucy took the slow walk through the middle of the guild.

Her head was slightly turned towards the floor with her purple hair gently falling across her pale face. As she walked towards the team her hair cascaded down her back and rested at her waist. As she walked past some of the members of the guild they couldn't help but notice the small cuts and bruises that littered her pale skin. She seemed to have bandages wrapped round both of her hands,luckily for her the guild symbol was printed onto her upper left arm instead of her hand like Lucy. A sword hung from her hip and it swung with the rhythm of her walk, of course it had nothing on what Erza could equip but that would be expected as her magic didn't surround her swords but the keys that she kept in her coat pocket.

For a wizard who has been away for years, it was clear to many that she didn't seem dressed for it. She had no armour on but just a short dark blue skirt while she simply wore a sleeveless top to cover herself along with a waist coat. Fashion and armour were not her strong points as her primary goals in life were fighting and the pride it brought.

As the girl reached the middle of guild hall, a few feet away from the group she lifted her head and dropped the small bag she had slung over her shoulder to the floor. The bag was full of jewels that she had seemed to collected over the years of being away. Her green eyes searched the small group before setting her eyes on Natsu.

Natsu immediately recognized the girl from the way she walked to the way she handled herself, there was no mistake on who was staring at him. Her eyes were too intense to be anyone else. However before Natsu could say a word she had broke into a run towards him with her fists held up and landed a blow to his collar bone and a strong kick to the stomach which caused him to fly into the nearby wall. Most of the guild members were shocked at this girls actions. Most apart from Erza,Gray and the master. They knew who this mysterious girl was and there was time for questions later.

Lucy made a scream that could only belong to her and started to wave her arms around in a rushed manor before looking at Erza who had a small smile on her face as she watched the two old friends fight.

"Shouldn't we stopped them?"

Both Erza and Gray let out a chuckled and shook their heads.

"No, This is her way of saying Hello to an old friend. You may not see this now but Violet and Natsu are friends. She just has a-" Erza paused for a moment to tried to think of the right words to say.

"let's say strange way of making an appearance after all this time. Don't worry once it's over I will be sure to get all the information from her whether she likes it or not "

Lucy had no words for what she said or what was happening. All she knew was that she should of been used to what Fairy Tail was like as a guild but she was still not used to how much Natsu would fight with other guild members, especially since this one was a girl. However Lucy then remember that it was this girl who served the first blow so she didn't judge the fight too harshly but instead sat back down with Happy and watched the fight play out.


Most of the fight was a blur to the guild members that were not involved in the fight but they all watched as Natsu performed his last hit on Violet which sent her sliding across the floor and she fell into a wooden table. With a great deal of effort she brought herself back up to her feet and slowly walked over to Natsu. It was clear it had been a tough fight for them both but a little more for Violet than Natsu. Violet stared at Natsu for a good minute or so, taking in all his new features to his face and how his eyes still had the same fire in them that they did when she was part of the guild.

Before Natsu had any time to ask her questions about what's been going on since she mysteriously left all those years ago,she picked up her bag and strolled over the the job board to pick out a new quest to fulfil. Violet had a slight limp in her stride and it was clear she was low on sleep,food and stamina. What confused many including Natsu is why she never brought forward one of her spirits to fight along side her during their rumble.

It didn't take Erza very long to walked over to the girl with Natsu, Gray and Lucy stumbling behind her. None of them knew how to approach the girl as it was clear she was a lot stronger than she was when she left but Erza had no problem going in for the kill.

"It took you all these years to do a job, not to mention it was a job you were not ready for!" She was in no mood to hold anything back,she wanted answers and she was going to get them one way or another. Violet took a moment to reply as she stared at the jobs on the board. Her voice didn't match her power as her voice was soft and appeared to be weaved with a elegant tone while she was calm. "It didn't take me this long, Erza. You of all people should understand that I was becoming stronger."

In this state they all knew they were not going to get answers from the girl and this lead Erza to force her to get some sleep and food into her. Once she was sent away to do just that she turned to the other and coughed "The information will have to wait "

Lucy was indeed confused to a point that she needed basic information on this girl.

"Who is this girl!? How do you all know her "She said as she looked round the group. Natsu was clearly not liking the fact that she was back or what that the case? Maybe he was just in the wrong mind set to see her again.

Erza decided that she could answer Lucy's questions.

" You see Lucy, Violet has been apart of Fairy Tail just as long as Gray and Natsu. In fact Violet was one of Natsu friends. She has had the fire burning in her soul to fight as long as Natsu has but unlike him she doesn't weld fire magic. You wouldn't of been able to tell from the way she just acted but she is actually a celestial Wizard"

Lucy's mouth fell open in shock. How could that girl be a celestial wizard? She's was so brutal. This brought Lucy to settle on the thought that she must treat her spirits horrid. Erza saw the look on the young girls face and knew exactly what she was thinking.

"Don't judge her too harshly Lucy. Like us all she has been through an incredibly amount in her life and she treats her spirits like they are her family. She loves them dearly. The reason she doesn't use them as much as she could is that she afraid they will get hurt. Of course she knew they will not die but her fear seeps deeper than that. She is afraid that the will feel pain and that to her is worse than feeling the pain herself. There are only two things she has ever showed any connection to and that is Fighting and her Spirits."

Erza let out a little sigh before letting her eyes fall on Violet who was slumped over one of the unbroken tables fast asleep. Erza could connect with Violet's past and isolation as it reminded her of what she was like as a little girl. However the girl's need for pride was still a problem as it was when she stayed within the guild and it was this worry that kept Erza on guard.

"When she first came to the guild she was just like me. Alone and wanting no part in interaction with the other members in any way. Natsu was the only one who persisted to a degree that forced her to see reason. Being Natsu the only way he could see to talk was to offer a fight and she agreed right away but to her dismay she always lost. She tried everything to beat him but she never could and that made her both angry and happy. Angry that she was too weak to win against Natsu and bring pride to herself but happy that he was her friend and also that she had a challenge, something to be able to work towards to beat. That is how they bonded. It made her stronger and a better person until-"

Erza paused for the second time that day. The memory of the day she left had buried itself in her mind.

"until Lisanna and Natsu found that egg, the one containing Happy"

Grey could see that Erza was not happy with telling the rest of the story as she saw violet almost as a sister.

" Natsu started to spend all his time looking after the egg and playing families with Lisanna which made the darkness start to seep into her already broken heart. All she knew to do was fight and it's the only way she knew to get to Natsu. It got to a point were she was desperate to spend some time with her friend that she surprised him to a fight. However he moved too quickly and her fist met Lisanna's face instead. Natsu was so mad at Violet for that he didn't understand that even at that young age she was already broken too much and being Natsu his anger boiled over and he spoke the words she feared he'd say to her ' I hate you' "

Lucy carefully took in every words and felt sorry for the poor girl " She didn't mean it though,right? I mean she just wanted the attention of Natsu"

"Of course she didn't but after he uttered the words it was the first and last time we saw her shed tears, that was the last time any of us ever saw her either. She ran after that but not before grabbing a job off the board. After she left we tried to find her but she had disappeared for good. We never thought she'd come back"

Grey uttered the last word and left a sigh. Neither him nor Erza really knew how to handle the girl. She seemed full of anger and regret that none of them thought she could be saved.

"Why do you think she came back?" Happy spoke for the first time since the day started.

Erza Replied " I don't know but I can guarantee it wasn't to get another job. If it was purely to fight Natsu and she lost, then there's a chance she will be leaving again soon"
