DISCLAIMER: I do not own the idea of Fairy Tail nor it's characters since I sadly am not Hiro Mashima! However, I do own the idea of Nozomi. She is my OC! (This disclaimer is for the whole story!)

"We need to get out of here now!"

"Run Nozomi run! Don't look back!"

"Mama! Papa!"

"Quick! Get out of there! Protect him! Grab him and go!"

"Mama! Papa no!"

"We love you darling. Remember that. We love you both"

The smell of burning fills my nose and I awaken from my daydream, feeling a tear run down my face. It's been years since I have seen you. I promised you that I would protect you and I haven't kept it. To this day I am still looking for you. I need to see you one last time. To know that you are safe. To tell you how sorry I am for what happened to you. To show you who I really am. For years I thought that you were dead. I cried for so long that I never thought the tears would end. I thought that I had failed my life-long mission to find you and reveal myself to you.

But now I have been given hope. There were tales of a very powerful mage who is known to be reckless but be one of the most powerful mages in his guild. I saw your face on screens at the Grand Master Games and I collapsed to my knees in shock. I thought I had found you over 7 years before to only be told that you had missing, feared dead along with more than half of your guild members. I had almost died that day from shock but I still swore that I would find your body since I refused to believe that you were dead. As soon as I saw you on those screens I was ecstatic! My nightmare was over. You were alive! I had never been so happy in my life. I knew where you were. You were happy. I still promised myself that I would tell you who I was to you, so I set out again to find you once more.

I just had to see you for myself. To confirm that you are real and not just someone who looks like you.

So here I am walking through the town of Magnolia. I got told that you live here so I am now on my way to find you. I am holding the only picture I have of you in my hand like it is my lifeline. I am holding you in my arms. You were only a baby but your face was so recognisable even to this day. I just knew that it was you.

I heard that you were raised by a dragon. I was mortified at the thought but now I see that it has turned you into a wonderful man. No wonder I couldn't find you for so long. I heard so many story about you and I always swell with pride. You are practically legendary!

Walking through the streets of Magnolia, I can see people laughing, joking, having fun. This looks like a great place to live. I am so happy that you have found somewhere great to live. I see small families walking around in their own world and I am jealous. I wish Mama and Papa were here. Then we could have been like that. All four of us together just like we should have been before….he destroyed it all. Because of him, that is how we both came into our powers. Well… it's how I discovered mine at least. I know that we both have similar powers from what I saw on the Grand Master Games and I think it was where we both got it from. Mama and Papa never showed their magic to us, if they had any at all! All I know is that…..he did.

I follow a sign that takes me to where I need to go. I take one look on the outside of the building and I stunned! It's beautiful! No wonder you like going here! I can hear the sound of laughter and cheering coming from the building and it seems very welcoming.

My stomach lurches at the fact that you may be in here. For years I have been trying to work out what I would say to you if I ever saw you. To this day I still don't know. I don't know what you are like. I only know just what I have seen on the Grand Master Games when you were fighting. My biggest fear is… will you accept me?

My baby brother…


Welcome all to the first chapter of 'For The Love Of Family'. This is a side project that I am working on while writing another Fairy Tail fanfic called 'The Mages'. Unlike 'The Mages' where the characters are human, these guys actually have their powers! The main character in this fanfic is an original character called Nozomi. All of this fanfic will be in her POV except from one chapter which will be later on. I will upload one chapter a week just like with 'The Mages'! This story is complete and is only 10 chapters long so I hope you enjoy it!
