Soon enough I found Lucy hanging out with the petite light blue-haired girl at a table in the corner. Sitting down at the table with a big smile and a loud "Hello!" I got their attention real quick.
"So Lucy will you introduce me to this lovely lady?" In a happy tone that was wavering on sarcastic I asked Lucy. The light blue-haired girl leaned back a little, and stared at me with wide eyes. Lucy blinked once then quickly realized what was going, and fought back a giggle.
"Well, Elle this is Levy. She's my best friend." Her smile widened as she spoke. Levy was blinking back into reality. A small smile then appeared on Levy's face. With this Lucy went back to fighting off giggles.
"Hello, It's Elle right? I haven't seen you around, but clearly you're a member of Fairy Tail." I nod Levy a yes to my name, and she continues on. As she finishes her statement she points to my guild mark. My smile widens as I remember the proof that's plastered on me. I remember the feeling of magic, and how calming and warm it was. After a moment I come back and speak up.
"Yeah, Lucy and Natsu found me on their job yesterday, then I joined Fairy Tail!" I watched Levy take in the information with a smile. It's so nice to have so many people to talk to that actually listen. An excited Levy interrupted my thoughts.
"Wow. How old are you? Where did they find you? Why did you want to join Fairy Tail? Had you always lived where they found you?" The questions left me speechless, as I watched the demeanor of the girl before me change. Her eyes widened along with her smile. A sparkle of pure interest shown though her. This change along with the questions also changed Lucy's demeanor slightly. Lucy quickly and gently pushed Levy back into her chair, as she had leaned in towards me.
"Levy! How many times have I told you one question at a time! And you have to remember she's allowed to not answer some of them." Lucy scolded Levy. I came back with interest. Poor Levy turned bright red as she realized what she had done was invasive. I giggled and decided to calm both the girls instead of causing trouble.
"Hey, It's okay. She's curious, aren't we all? Anyways I'm 13 years old, only people I truly trust know my name everyone else calls me Elle. I joined Fairy Tail because I had nowhere to go, and I've never met kind people like the ones here. For the other 2 questions those are a bit more complicated." I winced at having to figure out what I should and could tell them. Levy continued to stare in wonder as she processed my words, but Lucy noticed my discomfort. She tried speaking up, but I stopped her by putting my hand up in front of her face.
"Don't worry Lucy. I know what I'm saying. So… I haven't lived where they found me my whole life. They saved me from a wealthy man who used me as his servant, slave, person. He pissed me off a couple weeks ago, so I retaliated by destroying over half his mansion before he got magic restraints on me. Then he put me in a basement room that had magic restraints embedded in the walls. He threw some food down every once in a while. Lets just say I wasn't a happy camper. I was able to break the chains off the wall, but I couldn't get them off my wrists and ankles. Soon the magic depletion was too much and I could barely stand, but then Lucy came. She was horrified at the fact anyone would do this. She carried me up, I passed out and they brought me here." Lucy was stopped dead in her tracks even when my hand went down. I shrugged my words off as I spoke. Levy's eyes widened, and her eyebrows furrowed as she thought about what I said. Lucy's face became purely pitying, and Levy realized what I said. She became speechless as horror flooded her face at my words. I vaguely smiled trying to calm them down.
"I'm so sorry… I didn't know." Levy stuttered as tears started to fill her eyes. It pained me to see her and Lucy trying to imagine what I've been through.
"Don't worry you two. That's over, and I'm okay now." I smile at them, and against most of my thoughts I used my emotion based magic to calm them down. Levy wipes her tears away and begins to smile back me. Lucy smiles at me as well. It seems neither of them noticed my magic gladly.
"Well then, I was wondering if you wanted to go on a job with Natsu and I." Lucy quickly changed the subject. Slowly Levy fell into reading a book. I had heard about jobs, and I couldn't wait to go on one. Then the most brilliant idea came up, and was 10 times more excited.
"That sounds awesome! Can I invite Wendy to come along to?" I excitedly brought out my idea. Lucy was taken back, but quickly found herself and giggled a little before answering.
"It seems you did find a way to meet her. Of course you can. I've got to go track down Natsu. Meet me in our apartment in an hour." She smiles at me. When I nod in understandment she waves and walks away. I wave goodbye to Levy even though she's lost in her book. Then I quickly head back towards Wendy. With a smile I sit on the table right next to Wendy.
"Sup Wendy!" Wendy's head pops up in surprise. Her face turns bright red just like before. She turns to me then realizes who I am, and takes a breath then smiles at me.
"Oh Hey Elle! What's up now?" The red quickly diminishes as she smiles at me.
"Wendy I was wondering if you would like to go on a job with Lucy, Natsu, and I today?" Her eyebrows raise at my question, and the redness returns. I can't help but to giggle at her response. Slowly she calms down.
"Well I have nothing else to do so I guess I'll go. It sounds fun." She stutters through her words. She looks at her twiddling fingers as she speaks. I continue to fight back giggles as I watch her respond.
"Come on. Then will you help me find my way back to Lucy's apartment. I'm supposed to meet them there in about an hour." I vaguely wince while telling her I don't quite know my way around. I see the redness on her cheeks disappear yet again as she slightly giggles. Her head rises as calms herself.
"Well than I guess I don't have a choice but to help you out." She smiles back at me as she stands up and gathers her drawing supplies. I happily hop of the table, and let her lead the way out the guild.
I'm so sorry! I was busy and then I completely blanked, but I got it up now.
