'What am I? How come I'm the only one with magic? How come Mother and Father don't love me?'

A young girl about 11 years old with scarlet hair that was put into two long braids was sitting alone under a tree.

As she sat alone under the tree she had a book with her and was reading it but soon stopped reading when she heard her name being called.

"Big Sister!"

The girl blinked then looked behind her to see a little girl about 9 running her way. Just like her the younger girl had scarlet hair but it hung to her neck.

"Erza? What are you doing out here?"

Erza smiled at her.

"I was looking for you."

"What for?"

"So you could read to me again. I love it when you read to me."

"But Mother reads to you."

Erza sat next to her.

"But I like your stories better."

"I don't know."

Erza put on her puppy face.

"Please, I want to hear about the fairy queen again."

"The Titania?"

"Yeah!"

Erza's sister nodded then opened the book and began to read with Erza leaning on her as she read to her.

After reading the first chapter both girls heard their mother calling them.

"Irene! Erza! It's time to come in."

Erza pouted.

"I don't want to go inside. Irene, can't we just stay out just a little longer? Just until the sunset."

Irene smiled at her sister.

"Maybe tomorrow. I don't want Mother to be angry."

Erza looked away then Irene stood up.

"Race you. Winner gets to eat the last of the strawberries after dinner."

That seemed to get Erza to her feet then they both ran. Irene being the nice big sister let her little sister win.

That night after dinner Erza was put to bed by her sister while their parents spoke privately in a different room.

As Irene was putting Erza to bed Erza smiled brightly up at her.

"Irene, we're friends right?"

Irene smiled at her.

"Yes."

"We'll always be together right?"

Irene just smiled at her.

"Yes we will."

"Even when we're older?"

"Yes Erza, even when we're older."

Erza smiled at her then soon she was asleep then Irene left to her room to go to bed.

For Irene, she only loved her little sister. Her parents had been very distant to her ever since they found out that she could use magic. They treated her like an outcast but the only reason why they allowed her to stay in their home was because Erza was so close to her. It was like in order for the small family to be at peace was if Erza was with her older sister.

They lived in a very peaceful village called Rosemary. As far as Irene new, no one else used magic there but Irene was very careful not to show her magic to anyone out of fear of what would happen.

Irene was woken up when she heard footsteps coming to her room. She sat up only to see her parents enter.

"Mother, Father, is something wrong?"

Her father looked at her with a hint of anger.

"You're going to take part in the war."

Irene was scared.

"But I don't know how to fight."

"You can use magic. That's all you need and I refuse to have a wizard for a daughter."

With that a stranger took Irene then left. For Irene she was beyond terrified and didn't want to take part in the war and leave her little sister alone.

At the war front Irene was only able to use her magic to heal and very little enchantment for defense but she was soon overwhelmed and was defeated by the enemy.

She was taken captive and was tortured. One of the captures had left a scar on her stomach and Irene had lost control only to kill them and when she was herself again she was confronted by the Black Wizard himself, Zeref.

Zeref had told Irene that she had a huge potential to be trained under him. He told her that it was very rare for someone to be able to use Enchantment magic naturally. Irene wasn't sure what to think but she was too afraid to learn. By then she wanted nothing to do with magic, all she wanted was to go back to her home, well more like back to her sister.

Zeref told her that it would be best for her not to go but Irene left in hopes of seeing her sister again.

All hope left her when she returned to the rosemary village. To her horror she saw that the village and her home had been burned down. She saw that all the parents had all been slaughter, including her very own. Most of all she saw a piece of Erza's dress torn and had some blood on it.

In her life the only person Irene had ever held dear was Erza and now nothing could assure her that everything would get better.

All hope had left her and Irene only had hatred for Fiore for allowing greedy wizards to fight for more power and ruin other people's lives. Irene went to look for Zeref and requested to be his student in which he gladly agreed to her request.

Present Day

Irene was in a dark cave sitting on a large boulder.

There were many things that she longed for but at the same time she knew that fate would never allow it. What she longed for was love, acceptance and a family. The acceptance she longed for was created since she was a child. She had been rejected by her parents when they learned that she could magic. She also had a little sister but their parents didn't want Irene to be around her little sister out of fear that their second child would be cursed.

Irene looked down at her scar and frowned at it then she lowered her head.

"Erza…."

AN: Well there is the introduction. I will add more when I get the chance.
