Please review and let me know what you guys think of the story. I promise I will be updating constantly I won't leave you hanging.
Chapter 1
"I'll hate it!" Juvia exclaimed to everyone in the car.
Her real mom, Aquarius had gotten married to some mama's sharkboy, Gray Pisces a while back. Of course Juvia being new to the family, wasn't around for the wedding and hasn't had the 'pleasure' of meeting the guy yet. She's heard stories though, about how Dark Blue Pisces, Gray's mom, babies him all the time and she hates Aquarius for taking her precious son away. Juvia definitely shared her sister, Levy's dislike toward the man after a few of those stories.
"Yeah! Me too!" Levy joined Juvia in her protest.
Aquarius, Juvia's siblings and herself were currently on their way to a town called Magnolia to meet up with Gray, who had been in Magnolia working for the past 6 months now. He's a teacher at the high school Jellal, Juvia, and Levy will be attending.
Aquarius smiled at her daughters, they were so much alike yet so different at the same time. "Now now you guys haven't even given it a chance! How do you know you'll hate it?"
Juvia spoke up, "We're leaving Oak Town! My friends!" She crossed her arms and looked out the window, the scenery was whizzing by in a blur, mixing greens, browns and blues all together.
Being in the foster system since she was two, Juvia moved around a lot. Oak town was the first place ever where she had encountered others like herself. Not entirely of course, Phantom Lord Orphanage was filled with 'magical' kids, but Juvia was the only sirena. There were werewolves, sprites, vamps, you name it, Juvia could find it.
"I won't see my friends again..." She whispered softly, her heart clenched, she didn't want to leave.
Phantom orphanage was the first place ever where Juvia had been and felt accepted. Living with her foster dad and brother had been the second but definitely the best. In her mind there was no other place where she'd feel like that.
"You'll make new friends." Aquarius stated. "There will be people like us in Magnolia too. Gray checked." She said looking at Juvia from the rear view mirror.
"By 'people like us' she means magical not sirens of course." Jellal said to Juvia and Levy, he mad a point of squeaking his voice to imitate what Aquarius said.
"I do not sound like that!" Aquarius yelled and reached over to whack her eldest son in the head. "And most magical beings are better than none."
Levy nodded in agreement, when Jellal saw her he rolled his eyes and put his headphones back on, effectively tuning out his mother and sister banter.
Juvia reached in the pocket of her leather jacket to fish her cellphone out and do the same as her brother. She checked for messages and found there was one she received 20 minutes ago.
From Gajeel:
How's the road trip to hell?
Juvia giggled and replied quickly.
From Juvia:
Just peachy.
While she waited for a reply she plugged in her headphones and played her 'Kill Me' playlist on shuffle and turned up the volume in hopes of successfully drowning out her family.
Juvia would miss visiting the orphanage, and her friends. However it was her foster family, Metallicana and Gajeel that she'd miss most of all.
Gajeel and Juvia had gotten adopted around the age of 12 and 10 by the awesome man. At first Metallicana had only taken Gajeel, but after months his son leaving every night with no explanation as to where Gajeel went and not warming up to him, Metallicana debated on whether he should just take Gajeel back to Phantom.
One night Metallicana decided he'd follow his son, Gajeel walked all the way to the orphanage where, to Metallicana's surprise, a blue haired girl wrapped up in blanket was already outside waiting for him. Metallicana watched as his son just sat at the steps with the girl in his lap, soothing her as she cried on his shoulder.
When Metallicana felt it was okay to approach them, he did. That night with Juvia in his arms, Gajeel told his dad everything from Belno revealing to Gajeel what he really was, his struggle to find himself, finding himself with Juvias help and finally how happy he was that Metallicana had adopted him.
"Hey kids check it out that's gonna be your school next week!"
Groans of protest were echoed in the car. "Mom!" The three yelled simultaneously.
The school looked like a castle straight out of a fairy tale. Funny, since that was the name of the school. Fairy Tail High, with its grey stoned walls and maroon colored banners and their unique insignia all over the place.
Juvia hated it.
She pulled out her phone and sent a quick text to her brother.
From Juvia:
Is it too late for Metallicana to come get me?
Almost immediately the phone flashed and started ringing, a picture of Juvia and Gajeel back to back popped up on the screen.
"Lie to me."
"He said absolutely."
Juvia groaned and dropped her head back on the seat. Aquarius was watching her from the rear view mirror. "Hey just text me I'm in the car still."
Gajeel grunted before hanging up.
From Gajeel:
I have a surprise for you.
The text did nothing to help her doubts.
Aquarius spoke up, "Hey sweetie was that Gajeel?"
It wasn't that Aquarius didn't like Gajeel, she actually liked him a lot. She's a sucker for forbidden love and Gajeel was the offspring of one! It was the hurt in her eyes, Juvia didn't know why there was any there but she could see it despite the woman's efforts in smiling harder, so Juvia hardly spoke about Gajeel and Metallicana. It was better that way, Juvia could keep her happy and special memories with the Redfox just for herself.
"Yeah he was telling me Metallicana let him have pizza for breakfast." Lame lie, but Aquarius got off Juvia's back.
"Oh..." Was all Aquarius said before focusing her attention back on the road.
The next day after Gajeel told Metallicana everything, they came for Juvia. They were a very happy family. Juvia had taken loads of goofy and cute pictures with her when she left in a secret album to prove it. Moments with her two favorite men that she wouldn't change for anything in the world.
"You know Jellal you'll be taking your sisters to school in your new car." Aquarius sang excitedly poking her son in the ribs and wiggling her eyebrows.
Jellal flinched and tried to scoot away from his mother. "Mom! Stop it the road focus on the road!" Despite his efforts to sound mad he was laughing at his mother playfulness.
"Look there's the house!" Aquarius yelled pointing at a huge two story Greek inspired home.
The walls were white and there was these four huge round columns holding up a ceiling over the front of the house. There was two giant windows from the second floor to the bottom in either side of the tall arched double doors. Juvia gasped, it was beautiful.
So what did you guys think?
FYI: I couldn't find Pisces names for mom and son so I named them after their hair color. Lame I know but I suck at making up good names, I was desperate.
