Chapter 1. Staring Death in the face.

It happened in the middle of the night, I was awoken by thunderous noises, screams of pain, I jumped from my big pink poster bed wrapping my pink satin robe around me as I ran out of my room and down the grand staircase seeing my servants running for their lives the mansion was on fire bodies, lined the grand foyer.

"Lucy?!" I heard my mother say right next to me but I couldn't look at her quick enough as she grabbed my hand and lead me back down the hall where we met up with father right in front of the portrait that was painted when I was 5.

"Lucy take the servants entrance go down to the kitchen and escape through the back."

"Father, Mother I don't understand what is happening." My mother was about to speak when an eerie voice sang out.

"Layla, Jude where are you?" It sent chills down my spine and my heart quicken.

Mother pulled on the painting opening the servants entrance she pushed me in closing it behind me.

I tried to pry it back open but it was locked I opened the peeking eyes of the painting to see a figure in the flames he was shadowed but his stance reminded me of a dragon.

I saw my parents in front of the painting as the man shot 2 shots blood splattered on the painting some getting into my eyes and on my face I suppressed my scream with my mouth he held a smile that made my knees weak his eyes glowed red with rage his hair spikey but it color could not be seen as the flames shadowed him.

He pointed the gun right at me and was about to shoot until a deep voice yelled out.

"Salamander lets go the feds are here." The man turned and ran back down the grand staircase.

I didn't want to move except for sliding down to the floor sobbing my eyes out as my parents bodies were right on the other side of the door.

It took the cops 15 minutes to put out the flames and then 30 minutes to see that the blood splatters missed the eyes of the my father on the painting and having to break down the locked door to find me safe thanks to my parents sacrifice.

I still couldn't move my eyes dark and red from non-sleep and crying as the paramedics came in and got me out carrying me outside and placing me on an ambulance letting me breathe in an oxygen mask and placing a blanket around me as I was in shock.

Still crying and sobbing a lot they had no other option then to give me a sedative, I fell asleep easily my last vision was my childhood home black and smoking and countless bodies lining the once beautiful front gardens.

I stayed in the hospital for a week psychiatrists coming in to console me, I had lost count for the times I was too upset and had to be sedated.

The news spread of the raid of the Heartfilia Konzern, the murder of the Lord and Lady Heartfilia, the demise of our many servants and the lone survivor Lady Lucy Heartfilia the only living heir.

No sketch could be drawn as I only saw a silhouette but the description of a spikey haired man with red eyes was spread throughout the kingdom of Fiore.

What stood out the most was what he went by Salamander and it only took a week for people to give up hope on finding justice for my parents as Salamander belonged to Fairy Tail the biggest and number 1 Mob in the kingdom no one would dare to fight them because no one that ever has, has won the war.

At the end of the week in the hospital I was feeling better and was deemed fit to be in public, I did as I was taught when growing up, I held my head up high wore a nice dress, hair done up nicely, make up fresh, no tears and no emotion.

I was guided through the press and they continuously snapped pictures and bombarded me with questions, I quickly entered a police van and was escorted to the Fiore Department of Justice where I was given a makeover, Dark brown now flowed down on my shoulders and with simple reading glasses it was a perfect disguise no one would recognize the lovely Layla Heartfilia whom I resembled.

I missed my gold hair, my parents, my private tutors, and my childhood home; but now my new home isn't in Crocus it is in the town of Magnolia where I was set up with a small apartment with pink walls, an amazing bathroom, retro fireplace and stove.

My case worker and protection Marshall who will be known as my new guardian called Uncle Owen Johnson who lives in an apartment across from mine. My family's money in a bank account safe until I turn 18 and a regular check going to pay for my apartment and tuition at my new school Magnolia Academy.

I was given one suitcase that had the essentials underwear, toothbrush, and a change of clothes my new apartment was stocked with new clothes, food, lovely furniture, electronics, and cleaning stuff for bathing and apartment cleaning.

But as soon as my new Uncle left me alone I buried my face into the clean white pillow on my new bed and balled my eyes out once again. I couldn't cry for long because it was late and I was exhausted, put my hair up in a hair net so the remaining hair dye that wouldn't rinse out, wouldn't get on the white pillow.

I changed into my pink PJ's and crawled into bed my first night in and I had school the next morning, I didn't dream that night I couldn't I just blacked out and didn't come to until the sun shone through the windows and my alarm was ringing telling me it was 6 o'clock and time to get ready for school.

I had a quick bath washing my hair making it smell like strawberries instead of hair dye, a lot of access hair dye went down the drain but my hair stayed chocolate to match my eyes that were hidden behind green contacts which made them look hazel.

My new school uniform had 2 dress shirts one white long sleeve & one pink short sleeve, 2 skirts both red plaid, 1 red plaid vest for hot summer days to go over the pink dress shirt, one pink sweater for the chillier fall and spring days that had red plaid trimming with the schools crest on the left breast, 2 ties both red plaid but one was shorter than the other for the summer and one black blazer with red plaid trimming and the Magnolia Academy crest on the right breast pocket.

I had an arrangement of socks and shoes to accompany my uniform, since it was a chilly autumn day I went with the white dress shirt, blazer, long tie, black thigh high socks, and brown high top boots.

I decorated myself accordingly to the schools dress code light make up with small pink hearts dangling from my ears my long hair up in a ponytail on the side of my head tied up with a red plaid ribbon to match the uniform. I glossed my lips as a knock came on my front door to reveal my Uncle Owen who was ready for a day of protecting and serving after he dropped me off at school.

We passed Cardia Cathedral and went to the center of town where a huge school was bustling with teens, girls wore the same uniform as me but the guys wore blue instead of red and with pants instead of a skirt.

I suddenly felt my stomach flip I was nervous yet excited I had never been to a school.

"Ok you know your name?

I nodded as I looked at him with a smile that wasn't fully forced. "Talia Heru Ficly."

"Good, you know where you're going?"

"Principle office for schedule then to student council for tour and rules."

"And you know your story?"

"Parents divorced neither wanted me so was taken in by my Uncle Owen until I graduate then I am on my own."

"Birthday?"

"August 24th X766."

"Age?"

"16"

"Ok you have my cell number in case of emergencies."

"X-XXX-XXX-XXXX"

"Ok then have a good day Talia."

"You too thanks again Uncle." I said as I got out of the car. I gently closed the door and he sped off I turned to look at the vast school as I put my book bag strap over my shoulder.

I got stares as I walked into the school I repositioned my glasses luckily they were easy to see through, as I past many groups and cliques I heard

"Hey it's the new girl."

"She looks too proud"

"I wonder what HE will think of the new blood."

"I heard she was too bad her parents didn't even want her so they dumped her here."

I ignored them all as I entered the school changing my shoes before I fully entered the school.

I took out my map and easily found my way to the principal's office at the desk was a white haired beauty her hair was cut in a bob but with stylish layers.

"Hello you must be Talia?"

"Yes, I am here to speak to the principal."

"Of course, go right in he is expecting you. My name is Lisanna by the way if you need anything let me know."

"Thank you." I gently bowed as I went around the front desk I got a chill as Lisanna spoke and my gut felt like it was telling me that I couldn't trust her.

I knocked on the large white door as a voice that put me at ease said "Come in"

I turned the gold knob revealing a lovely white and gold office with a short old man.

"Well Ms. Talia Heru Ficly?"

"Yes, sir"

"Please sit. I welcome you to Magnolia Academy. I am Principal Makarov Dreyar."

"Thank you sir, it is a pleasure to meet you."

I chatted with the old man for a good 5 minutes he apologized for my current situation meaning my fake parents' divorce, I told him about my uncle and how generous he is taking guardianship of me even though I don't technically live with him.

"Well then pleasantries aside, I must warn you there are some characters around most behave in school but outside can get nasty so be on guard especially a pretty young lady like yourself.

I smiled at him and nodded "Thank you sir I will do as you say."

"Well then here is your schedule go head to the student council's office and they will take your from there." He handed me a paper that held my full schedule and he got up to usher me out of his office.

I walked down the hallway filled with gossiping students wishing I knew what that felt like, I finally arrived at the student council room it was painted red with a strange symbol on it, it looked like a fairy with a tail.

I knocked gently as a voice sang out sending a chill down my spine.

"Come in~" it playful tone gave me goosebumps and a gut feeling that said runaway but open the door to find something amazing.

I gave in and slid open the door to find a large group of people who some I could see had the fairy symbol that was on the door somewhere on their bodies and in different colors and what I saw was not what I expected in the student council room.

There was a brawl in the center a pink haired boy and a raven haired boy where tumbling around on the ground as others were around chanting fight and in the far corner was a red haired pretty woman tied to a chair whose angry face scared me.

I stepped in and closed the door with a slam trying to gain there attention but it didn't work, until the red haired woman broke free from the ropes that bind her and joined the brawl but only for a split second as she knocked out the boys who immediately stood up and yelled profanities at her calling her Erza.

"…and you're the student council president you shouldn't be fighting with anyone in front of a new student no less." She screamed at the pink haired boy who instantly looked confused until Erza pointed at me which made everyone look over to me which I instantly blushed and smiled.

The pink haired boy smiled bigly which made my knees go weak for some reason, he straightened his school blazer that was missing the left sleeve to show his red fairy mark on his shoulder, he ran a hand through his bangs from his face up to an instant spike which made me think 'HOW?'

He walked over to me and held out his hand to me on closer inspection his uniform clung to his thick hard muscles that was easily defined, he a full half foot taller than me and by just being in his air I felt like I was going to faint, yet I was unsure why.

"Student council president Natsu Dragneel."

I took his large hand in mine and he gently took it but didn't shake it only grasping it.

"Talia Ficly, pleasure."

"Talia, a lovely name for a lovely brunette." He said as he gently took my pony tail and let my silky hair run over his calloused hand making sure not to tangle it, he then picked up my hand he still held and pressed his soft hands over the back of it.

My breath hitched and my mind fogged for a moment until I composed myself.

"Natsu you're scaring her." Erza said

"I can't help it I love new blood." I gently gasped remembering what I had heard this morning of the school gossip.

"I wonder what HE will think of the new blood."

So this pink haired idiot flirt was the HE they were talking about.
