Here is finally the second chapter, sorry for the wait but I made this one longer in return, hope you like it and don't forget to leave a review, I'll be nice if you do.


2. Hello, little-one...

Inside of a silver Twingo were a young mother and her child, the woman was driving fast and the little girl seating behind her kept yelling at her things like "Mama, slower! I'm scared mama, go slower" But her pleas landed on deaf ears as the woman, angry, only sped up more; she looked desperate and alert, eyes wide open and she was greeting her teeth, the irresponsible mother wasn't sober, but she wasn't drunk either, she was high. So high and insane she no longer cared what could happen to her and her daughter; with only desire for revenge in her mind, triggered by the effects of the drugs she took, she drove at a dangerous speed towards her lover's home. Intending to kill both him and his wife the woman run into the house's wall on purpose, as fast as she could, bringing it down, and completing the task effectively; but not only did she kill them both but herself as well, and only the trembling child, hidden under the backseat, survived.

The poor child had had more than just that experience with her mother, a drug-addict always chasing men with money and always getting dump, had done many things in which the innocent girl had come involved, and not only that but the mother herself even used her as a punching bag to bend her anger and frustration if her daily doses was ever denied to her, which happened often considering how poor they were (Yes, the car was stolen).

It was a good thing that the girl survived and was now free from her horrible mother, she lived in relatively good conditions in the orphanage but the lack of a loving family, especially at her age, was always a problem for the children.


Kurumi's POV

Every day here at the orphanage is really boring, I know I'm better here than with my mom but here I don't have any friends or anyone to talk to, plus, mama's boyfriend were always nice to me, like my daddy before he died, I miss him, I miss them all. Some kids say that you can get out of here if a family wants you but, some families have already come looking for children and neither have paid me any attention, nobody wants me, or so I thought but one day it changed.

A beautiful girl came and I had an interview with her, but I wanted a daddy so I didn't want to go with her even though she said she would take me; she talked to the manager and at the end, they convinced me to go, the auntie who takes care of us said maybe it was my only chance to be adopted so I took it.


The scene repeats, but this time, the woman drove with caution and the girl was saying nothing.

- So, you excited?

- No – answered the girl shyly.

- Why not? I know you didn't like me at first but I'll be good, we can get to know each other better, I know I can never replace your real parents but I'll try my best to be of your liking, don't be so down and give me a chance.

- OK – the girl replied shyly again.

- Why don't you start by telling me what you didn't like about me? I could change it.

- It's nothing really.

- Come on, I won't get mad, I promise.

- It's not you – the little girl said, louder this time – Nut I wanted a dad like mine or my mama's boyfriends they always treat me good.

- That's it? Well then I'm happy to tell you that you WILL have a father, or do I look like I'm single? - she said showing the girl the ring in her finger.

- Really?! – the girl asked with obvious enthusiasm.

- We're here – the woman said as she parked the car – My husband is inside, want to meet him?

- Yes! – she said with a smile.

The young woman exited the car and opened the door for the little girl, they walked to the door and she opened it, they walked in and the girl was amazed at how big and nice the house was, she close the door behind her and left the girl's bag, which had many few stuff, in the sofa.

- I'm back! – she yelled for the person in the second floor to hear.

- Welcome back, Erza! – yelled a guy from the second floor.

- Mind to come down?! – she yelled back.

- I do!

- Down, Now!

- Alright, coming!

Little Kurumi waited with anticipation to meet her future father, she already liked her new mom, this Erza girl seemed really nice and the guy sounded like he was as well, but she had to see him, talk to him. Coming down the stairs was a young man, not very tall with tanned skin and black eyes.

- What is, whoa! Who is that? – he asked looking at the girl.

- Your daughter – Erza calmly answered.

- My daug… - then it got to him – My what?! No way! I,I,I, you can't!

- I know.

- Then how?! I mean if it is mine but not yours then… - then he realized it – I did NOT cheat on you, I swear! Unless it was before I met you? – he asked, calming down a bit.

- Nope – she answered.

- Then it can't be mine! – he yelled

- Oh, yes it is, you signed the adoption papers this very morning.

- I what? Weren't those… You tricked me?!

- You could say that.

There was silence for a minute while the young man understood everything.

- Then, she's ours? – he asked with some joy in his tone and eyes.

- She is – the red-head answered with a smile and the kid, who had been giggling all along because of their antics and the guy confusion, smiled and ran to her father's arms, he caught her and picked her up, taking a good look at her.

- Hey little-one, what's your name?

- I'm Kurumi, 5 years old – she said cutely raising her five fingers.

- Nice to meet you Kurumi-chan, I'm your new father, Natsu Dragneel.
