Chapter 1:

(Sophie's POV)
Standing on the edge of town I looked at the Black Fog that was now covering Magnolia like a black plague. My home was the closest to it and the town seemed to be in a constant state of depression, children didn't run through the streets in joy and we never held any sort of event. To make matters worse were the rumours that spread around about my mother, the Runaway from Fairy Tail that had deserted the fight between the guilds and the demons. I had heard what really happened several times as I grew up but the rumours still stung but I couldn't show mum that I was hurting for all her hopes were resting on my shoulders. "Hey look, it's the daughter of the ditcher," not turning around I could hear them talking. Breathing deeply I turned around and walked past them, my pitch black hair flowing calmly over my shoulders. With my head lowered I walked calmly through the town, not looking at anyone until I made it to the bakery. Pushing open the creaking door I saw the son of the baker's son was standing there and pushing the bread onto the shelves.

"Hi Kai," talking softly Kai turned and smiled at me, his golden eyes shining under his mop of brown hair as he brushed the dust off his hands.

"How you doing Sophie, just the usual today?" smiling I was so happy again that one person in this town looked at me and my mother without distrust.

"I need a bit more today, enough for a few extra days," digging into the pouch at my side I placed the extra gold coins on the bench that separated the shop from the stairs that lead to his living areas.

"Why the extra food today, you aren't going anywhere are you?" when he came back with the extra food in a brown bag I just swung it over my shoulder and turned to walk out the door but when I pushed open the door I stopped for a minute.

"Do you think my mother betrayed the guilds?" turning around slightly I could just see him walking around the bench through my black hair. When he just shook his head his brown hair caught the sun's last moment before he looked straight at me.

"If her leaving the guilds meant that you were born than I am happy that this happened," smiling I walked out and headed towards home. Mother knew that she would have to send me off soon and she told me often that this time was coming but I couldn't stop my nerves from making my whole body shake.
