Without further ado though, let's get on with the first chapter of this story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy tail or any canon events and characters from this story.
A loud groaning sound made a few people on a train jump, and causing them to look towards one of the small passenger cabin that was near the back. Another groan was heard from the cabin followed by a thump, causing more than a few people to get out of their seats to get away from the cabin. just in time as well, because with another groan, a black figure crashed through the wall of the train along with a bunch of dust and smoke. When the smoke cleared, from the hole that was created was an irate woman.
The first thing everyone noticed about her was her snow white hair that was put into a loose ponytail, yet it still reached her waist. The second thing was her icy blue eyes that were glaring at the place where the figure was launched into. They noticed why immediately as well. Her clothes, which consisted of a black tank top that showed her figure, was slightly ripped around the bottom. She had a pair of camo cargo pants on as well, along with some black biker boots. All around she looked intimidating.
"I said no you bastard!" The woman yelled, as the figure, which was a drunk man, stood up and woozily tried to walk towards her.
"Co-*hic* come'on. I ca-*hic* can show you a niiiiiiice time." The man slurred out, though before he could do much of anything else, a hand gripped his shoulder.
The man turned and was about to yell at whoever it was that had grabbed him, before he saw a red haired woman with brown eyes staring. She had a glare at the man, to which even drunk, man started to shrink. The brown eyed woman squeezed his shoulder a bit before she stated in a tone that showed no joking in it "She told you no, so leave the lady alone."
The drunk man seemed like he wanted to argue, but a stronger glare made him agree right away, before he ran, stumbling, into a different car. The white haired woman gave a deep frown as she ran a hand through her hair, before looking towards the redhead that had helped her "Thanks for the help..."
The red headed woman was wearing a suit of armor, with a blue skirt on, and she held a armored hand out "Erza scarlet."
An icy blue eye stared into brown ones, as the blue eyed woman gave a nod while giving her hand out for the handshake "Natalia Moroz."
The red headed woman raised an eyebrow at that "That's an interesting name."
Natalia laughed a bit, as she said "My mother said that Natalia was a name common from where she was from, while Moroz means frost in some different language. I never bothered to worry about it all that much, as Instead I was taught to speak something called french."
Erza gave a curious look towards the white haired woman in front of her as she asked "So you can speak a dead language?"
"Oui," Natalia began "mais je préfère ne pas. Before you ask, I basically said, Yes, but I prefer not to."
It was interesting enough to Erza, and she actually thought they could become friends. Even without that fact, she still would have asked what she was going to anyway. The question being "Since your cabin seems to be busted, would you like to sit with me? I'm on my way to Magnolia and I could use the company."
"Watch it." Natalia said with a teasing look "I'd think you're trying to flirt with me."
Erza tilted her head in confusion at that "Why would I? I've just met you."
The white haired woman just put a hand to her face as she followed the redhead to where they were seating. It honestly shouldnt be that hard to figure out why she said that. Its not like people like her where very common, even in this world. It was frowned upon to think like she did in terms of love, but some people still did it anyway. It was also her way of thinking to make sure people knew how she thought in that term no matter what. Better to get it out of the way right away before anyone asked.
When said as such to Erza, the red haired woman seemed to understand what she wanted by that, even though she did say that she wasn't the same in that sense. Natalia honestly didn't really care, as she bluntly stated. It didn't matter that she didn't have the same view's. The fact of the matter was that the white haired girl just wanted someone she could actually talk to. From the way she spoke, she hadn't been able to talk to anyone for a couple of months. When she had stated why she was on the train though, that's when Erza decided to comment on it.
"You're heading to Magnolia as well? May I ask what for?" Erza asked ,even if she had an inkling of why already.
Natalita, oblivious to Erza's look, gave a nod as she said "I want to join fairy tail. I tried going to phantom lord before, but with how the master felt... Yeah, no."
Erza raised an eyebrow at that "What do you mean by the way he felt?"
The white haired woman seemed to struggle with the words for a second, before she said "Well, I have a small magic that has hardly any use, which is actually an empathy link. I can't always control it just to warn you, but the way Jose porla felt... He had less than honest intentions with my joining. The only woman I actually saw in that guild was a water mage, and she had dark feelings, of the sad variety."
That alone seemed to be enough of a reason not to join the guild, but what Erza was curious about was why she wanted to join a guild, assuming that was her only magic. She even asked Natalia so, to which she just gave a smirk and said " It's not my only magic, though I'm not inclined to tell you, so I wont. Gotta have some surprises."
The brown eyed girl gave an amused look towards the woman sitting beside her as she said" You like keeping secrets huh? Well that's fine I suppose. Everyone has secrets they wish to keep after all."
Natalia gave a happy nod towards that, before she stated that she was going to try and get some rest. There was still a bit of time before they reached magnolia. Natalia asked Erza to wake her up when they got to the train station, to which the redhead agreed. Even if she wasn't comfortable around Erza just yet, she knew that she could trust the woman not to do anything bad.
A little girl no older than 5 was sitting on the ground shivering as snow fell to the ground from above. All around her people were passing by not even giving the girl a second glance as the shivering continued. Seeing someone else pass by her, she tried to stand up, only to be knocked by the same person.
"Stay there you little wretch!" The person, a woman no older than 20 yelled at her" I saw that look in your eye, I know you were going to try and steal from me!"
The girl moved back a few paces, as she shrunk into herself, still shivering, but the woman wasn't done. Before the little girl, who's hair at this point was a mix of black and white that was not due to the snow, could react, a foot connected with her side. The girl screamed in pain, but no one even paid it any mind.
"Go get out of here you little idiot!" A different woman yelled at the girl, causing her to get up as fast as she could, her bare feet running straight towards the woods.
She continued to run as fast as she could into the forest. She didn't even care that she could be running to someplace that could kill her, she just wanted to get out of there as soon as she could. She continued to run as well, until she found herself in a cave. It was a lot warmer than the snow outside, and she could even feel herself get some of the feeling back in her limbs, but even still she knew that it wouldn't be enough.
The little girl's hair was half black and half white at this point, but a pair of eyes that were watching her weren't concerned about that. They were more concerned with the fact that even with warmth, if nothing helped the girl, she would die. The figure that was watching started to move towards the little girl, causing her to snap her gaze up and shrink a bit more.
"Its ok." A soft voice that was obviously female said "I'm not going to hurt you little one. I want to help you in fact."
The little girl backed up to the wall as best she could while saying "No... You'll be just like everyone else... I'll trust you, and you'll hurt me..."
The figure glared at no one in particular, internally, at those words. Stupid ignorant people doing this to a child, a child of all things! Why would someone do this to a child was beyond her, but it angered her enough as it was. Trying her best to keep the anger out of her voice, the figure said "I'm not going to hurt you little one."
She stopped for a second as she started to hum a song, before singing "Balance, mon bébé, Dans l'arbre, tout en haut. Si le vent souffle Balance le berceau Si la branche casse Le berceau tombera Et en bas iront, le bébé, Le berceau, et tout ça."
The little girl slowly started to nod off, but not before seeing something blue shining in the cave.
"Natalia!" A loud voice that could only belong to Erza, yelled as she was shaken.
Natalia woke up with a start, looking around wildly, before calming down when she saw that Erza was the only one who was around. The white haired woman's fast breaths slowed down as she calmed down, though she did wipe the sweat off her forehead in the process. When she sat up though, she felt her hair completely loose, to which she looked towards Erza.
"I was afraid you would hurt yourself in you're sleep with it like that, so I loosened it." Was the Redhead's explanation "You started to move around in your sleep mumbling about it being cold, but you weren't shivering."
Natalia didn't seem to move for a few minutes as she thought over what Erza had just said. With a small sigh, Natalia said "I'd rather not talk about it. "
The redhead seemed like she wanted to say something, but decided against it after a few seconds. Instead, she walked off the train, Natalia following not to long after. Whatever it was that was troubling the white haired woman, wasn't something that she needed to worry about at the moment. Instead she needed to get back to the guild as soon as she could so she could get help for taking on Eisenwald.
When they got off the train though, Natalia's eyes widened at the sight of a giant horn of some sort. It looked like it was just sitting there for a couple of days, but it was still large enough that it would take a couple of people to lift. Despite this though, Erza grabbed the horn and held it over her shoulder as if it was nothing, making Natalia just give a deadpan look at this point. Erza was just one of those crazy people it seemed.
"Follow me Natalia, I forgot to tell you, but i'm a fairy tail mage as well." Erza said with a smile on her face, though the white haired girl wasn't surprised.
"You know, I wouldn't be surprised if you guild master was a pervert at this point." Natalia stated with a even look that caused Erza to laugh.
Out of the corner of the white haired girl's eye though, as they were walking, she saw an orange haired male take one look at Erza before playing and running back towards where he came from. She frowned slightly at that, but didn't comment on it. She could tell that Erza was intimidating normally, the drunk man incident attesting to that. But with her carrying that horn, which she found out was from a monster she killed, just made her more intimidating.
The first thing Natalia noted when they first saw the building that was the guild hall was how old it looked. The building was at least two stories tall, and it was made of wood. The guild markt hough, looked like a small fairy flying with a tail following it. That made her smirk a bit when she realized the name of the guild with the guild mark. Seeing the redhead's own smile, Natalia just motioned for her to walk in.
The redhead did just that as she walked straight through the doors, making everyone freeze, as she set the horn down in the middle of the room. It seemed no one had noticed her yet, but she was just fine with that as Erza said "I'm Back. Is master present at the moment?"
Another woman, this one with white hair and a maroon dress, smiled as she looked towards Erza "Welcome back. Master's attending the regular meeting."
Erza seemed to frown a bit as she said "I see..."
"Um, E-Erza." Another guild member hesitantly said "What is that thing?"
"Hm? This?" Erza asked "The local townspeople decorated the horn of the demon I subdued. It was so pretty that I decided to bring it back as a souvenir." She turned towards the one who questioned it "Will it be a nuisance?"
The person who questioned her quickly shook his head "N-no! Not at all."
Erza seemed satisfied with the answer, but her brown gaze hardened as she said "Anyways guys, I heard you've been causing trouble again. Even if Master forgives you, I won't." She turned her gaze to a woman with brown hair who seemed to be drinking straight from a keg "Cana! That's an inappropriate drinking posture." She then turned to two men, one in a spandex suit, and the other smoaking "Visitar, if you are going to dance, do it outside. Wakaba, you're ciggarette buts are all over the floor."
Erza continued to tear into people, before she sighed and said "You guys give me so much trouble. I won't say anything for today."
Natalia forced herself not to snort at that, as she wanted to see who would be the first person to notice her, but when she asked for two people, Natsu and Grey, everyone looked to them. The two boys, one with a salmon pink hair and the other half naked with black, were hugging each other. THe way they acted was suspicious enough, but they seemed to be acting like best friends. That almost made her burst out laughing, but she restrained herself as Erza's next words came out.
"I actually have a favor to ask both of you." Erza said with a completely serious tone "I heard something troubling at work. Usually I would consult master about this, but I regard this matter as urgent, so... I need you're help. You'll come with me right?"
She didn't give them a chance to answer as everyone started talking about it in a flurry of speech. It all stopped however, when a laugh that someone could compare to the light falling of snow. Everyone looked towards the white haired woman who was sitting with her feet up, her arms crossed, and an amused look on her face, blue eyes flashing with laughter. She didn't pay anyone mind as she walked straight towards Erza and held a fist up.
The redhead knew what that meant, and actually fist bumped with the white haired woman "I guess this means you wish to come with?"
Natalia's grin grew a bit as it showed her teeth, her canine teeth longer than normal "Exactly. I'll meet you guys at the train station at the same time you just said before."
The red and white haired women looked towards each other a bit longer, before Natalia walked out of the building with a wave of a hand, leaving everyone but Erza, who exited not a second later, dumbfounded.

She can understand emotions fairly well ,but despite this she teases people whenever she can, and she likes to see how many buttons she can push before someone explodes. This is, however, just an outer shell that she hides behind. In reality, Natalia is quick to scare as she was never raised in a good home, in fact she was never raised in a home at all. This made her lack certain social cues, which makes it hard for her to trust others.
History: Little is known about Natalia at the moment, but the fact that she was kicked out of whatever she called a home when she was just five years old. How she survived the harsh winter is still a mystery, but it is known that she is a hardy child that did survive.
