A/N: Ok first off the reason why this is a little late was because I wasn't sure how well this chapter went. I feel like it's not my best one but I'll let you guys decide on that. Also I found out that this story is in a community. All I have to say to that is….awesome.

Familiar Fairy

Chapter Seven: Louise vs Evergreen

Last time on Familiar Fairy. My thoughts were focused on what Lady Janine said earlier. However those thoughts were interrupted when Elfman and I heard a loud crash coming from upstairs. We learned that the kidnapper had taken Lady Janine and we chase after him. That's where I saw what magic Elfman and Juvia can do. Shortly after we discovered that the culprit was the maid Josine also known as Monoly who was a former member of the Phantom Lord guild. It turns out the two of them were lovers which was a surprise to me. I let them go on my accord which resulted me not being paid. It seems this world is endless with surprises and I have a feeling more are coming my way.

Louise P.O.V

It was a couple of days after my recent mission with Lady Janine and Monoly. Many things were running in my mind now and I still can't seem to understand them. It was taxing to say the most. I had so many questions and yet I have no answers. So here I was sitting by myself at an empty table in the guild hall trying to contemplate what has happened to me. I look to the side and see Natsu and the others talking to each other. I wonder what their discussion is.

Third Person P.O.V

"Is it just me or does Louise look a little bit down today?" Lucy asked her friends.

"Beats me. She's been that way for a while. Wonder what's up with her." Gray commented.

"Maybe she just needs some fish!" Happy declared.

An anime sweat drop appeared on Lucy's head. "I don't that's it."

"Maybe she needs fight someone!" Natsu shouted.

"That's not it either!"

"Um…" The group turned to see Juvia walk up to them. "Juvia has an idea why Louise is feeling a little down." The water mage explained everything to Natsu and his group about their mission. Juvia also mentioned the part where Janine's words affect Louise. However the most shocking part to them was when Juvia told them about Louise's engagement.

"Wait so she was engaged!?" Lucy looked at Louise for a quick second then looked at Juvia. "I can't believe it."

Erza grabbed her chin. "It does make sense since she is from a noble family."

"But it's weird that her fiancé is like three times her age." Happy stated.

"I'll have to agree on that. Her parents must be out of their minds trying to match up her up with some old guy." Gray pointed out.

"Well why didn't she say anything about it. Louise could've told her parents how she didn't like the engagement?" Wendy asked.

"I don't think she had a choice." Lucy spoke. "Remember Louise comes from rich family and the parents can be rather strict when it comes to engagement. She probably didn't have a say in the matter so I guess she went along with it."

Natsu tried to make sense on what he heard but in the end he gave up on it. "Man this whole 'noble' family thing doesn't sound like fun at all."

"Aye…"

Suddenly Natsu caught a whiff of a familiar scent. "Hey this…"

Louise P.O.V

I sigh for I don't know how much now. I look at my hand where those markings are on the back of my hand. Why did this show up on my hand? What is the significance of it? I sighed again as I closed my eyes. "This is so confusing."

"Confusing confusing!"

I opened my eyes as soon as I heard strange voices. In front of me were five strange doll figures floating in front of me. My reaction to this was natural. "Ahh!" I leaned back too far and fell from behind. I quickly stood up to look at doll figures. "What are these things!?"

"Hey they're not things! They're my babies!" I look at where that voice came from and I saw four figures standing in front of the entrance of the guild hall. The first one I recognized was someone who dressed somewhat like a knight. The second I've noticed was a woman who had light long brown hair and wore glasses. Her outfit was green (and what a surprise it showed off her boobs.) and I saw the Fairy Tail guild mark located on above her right breast. Lastly she wore fishnet stockings and heels. The third person I saw had long light green hair ending at his waist and part of his hair was covering his right eye. His outfit is what I consider closest to what is similarly worn in my world. However the last person I saw made my spine feel a chill coming down. He was a large muscular man with yellow hair and had a lightning bolt shaped scar going through his right eye. A large coat was hanging off from his shoulders. Underneath the coat he wore a black shirt and red pants. It was just seeing that person that made my body paralyze with fear.

"Oh welcome back." I saw Mirajane (I still can't believe she's older than Elfman.) walk up to the group with a smile on her face. "How did the mission go?"

I heard that strange knight give a somewhat crazed laughed. "Childs play if you ask me. A little birdie told us we got a new recruit in the guild." I know he's talking about me and to be honest I wish not to talk to him.

"Laxus!" I saw Natsu on the table with his fire coming out of his hand. "Come over and fight me!" Even though he said that, he jumped across the guild hall toward that large man. I saw that large man close his eyes and next thing I knew he just struck Natsu to the floor with his arm.

"Well that was to be expected." I heard the cat say. I'm guessing this isn't the first time Natsu picked a fight with him. I heard him say 'Laxus.' That name sounded familiar to me.

While I was thinking about it, I was suddenly lifted up in the air. I grabbed the arm that was holding me by the collar while I kicked my legs. "Hey let me go!"

I heard deranged laughter behind me. It belonged to that knight person. How did he get behind me? "So you're the newbie in the guild huh?"

"Newbie newbie!"

I tried to break myself free from him but it was futile. Curse my height. "Wow this kid has a lot of spunk."

I saw the woman walking up to us. "She does have that certain fire I'll give her that.

Well so far I have a strong dislike for these two. "I'm not a kid, I'm sixteen!"

I heard the knight cackle. "Oh wow. I thought you were ten because you're so short!" I hate it when people make fun of my height! I heard the woman laugh as well. Now I know why I don't like at her at all. She reminds me of Kirche.

"That's enough Bickslow." I saw the other man walking up to us. "Put her down please."

I heard the man called Bickslow (What kind of name is that any?) give a disappointed scoff and dropped me to the floor. "Come of Freed I was just having some with the newbie. Cut me slack."

"Slack slack!"

By fun you mean picking on me you brute. I looked up to see the man called Freed standing over me. "I apologize for my friend here. He can be a bit rough with new members." Well at least one of them is a gentleman. I saw him hold out his hand to me. I took his hand and he pulled me up. "I would like to know the name of our new member of the guild."

I smiled at the man called Freed as it was nice to know someone with manners. "Louise Francoise Le Blanc Valliere."

I heard Freed give a small chuckle. "It's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance Louise." He let go of my hand. "My name is Freed Justine. My friend behind you is called Bickslow and my friend with the glasses is Evergreen."

"So where do you come from newbie?" Didn't that knight person hear what my name was?

I turned to him to yell at him but Gray interrupted me. "Well for starters, she's from a different world." Blunt but it is true.

"Whoa is that right?" Well that seemed to grab his attention. "How she manage to do that?"

"Do that do that!" Those dolls are beginning to annoy me.

"Louise doesn't know herself how she came to our world in the first place." I heard Erza explain as she walked up to us

I heard laughter from the woman called Evergreen. Seriously I'm getting sick of tired of that laugh. "That's amusing. I've never heard of wizard who didn't know what they were doing." I will only say this once. This woman is pissing me off. The more I heard that laugh, the more I remembered that same kind of laugh from my peers back at the academy.

Time after time I keep hearing that laugh. The laughter of those who taunted me of not doing magic for all of my life. The laughter continued and became louder. My hands were clenched tightly. Then all of a sudden, I couldn't take it anymore. I pointed my hand toward Evergreen and the magic circle appeared. An explosion occurred in the guild and sent everyone in it in different directions. I could hear different voices.

"What happened?"

"Where did this come from?"

"What's going on?"

However those voices were far away from me now. I'm sick of tired of being made fun of for my ineptitude of using magic. I saw Evergreen close and I walked up to her. "Where did that explosion come from?" I saw her look at me. "Did you do this you little brat?!"

I had enough. I held out my hand to make another explosion happen but she quickly jumped out of the way. The smoke started to clear and everyone started to look around. I saw Evergreen close to the doors of the guild. I saw her smile. "Well if that's the way it's going to be, then follow me little girl." I saw her run out of the guild and I started running after her. I didn't care who was in my way. She has to pay. They all have to pay! I stepped on someone's back but I didn't care. I busted through the doors and I was now outside. I searched for that woman but didn't see her. Did she run away? "Fairy Machine Gun: Leprechaun!" Suddenly I was pelted with small lights from above. My whole body felt the stings from the storm of the attack and they were quite powerful. The attack stopped and I heard that laugh coming from above me. I looked up to see Evergreen flying in the sky. If I wasn't angry, I would wonder how she was able to do such a feat but I am angry. "It seems I struck a nerve coming from you." You didn't strike a nerve. You struck my entire life as a wizard! "All right then, just because you're new doesn't mean I'll hold back!"

I stuck out my arm and tried to hit her with one of my explosions but she evaded before it occurred. "So that's your magic. It's not very impressive if you ask me." That statement only made me angrier. I performed another explosion spell just to shut her mouth but every time I did that, Evergreen would just get out of the way before the spell could happen. "My turn little girl!" She started to fire those little lights at me again. To avoid the attack I ran away so it would hit me. While doing so I performed another explosion spell. I saw Evergreen cease her attack to get out of the way of my spell. So it seemed she couldn't attack me as long she moves around. I must say it is a little harder to hit a target flying in the sky. "Your spells are practical I'll give you that but they're completely predictable. I don't know how you became a wizard much less one at all!"

Anger started to seep out of me. I failed to notice almost everyone at the guild seeing our fight. I tightened my hand so much I felt blood coming out of from the cut. "You don't how much I had to endure in my life! My parents, my elder sister Eleanor, my peers from the academy, they all looked down at me just because I couldn't perform a simple spell. I tried to brush off their comments as much as I could. Every day I had to listen to their inane words about me being a failure of a wizard, to do not one single successful spell! I have had enough of it already and I've had enough of you!" I stretched out my arm while my other hand was holding it. The magic circle appeared again before my hand. However what happened next was not only a surprise to me, but to Evergreen and the rest of the guild. Several black orbs came from the circle and they were headed toward Evergreen. It seemed she was caught up in the surprise she didn't have time evade. Once the orbs reached her, multiple explosions happened around her. The next thing I knew, I saw Evergreen falling to the ground.

I looked at my hand and wondered how I was able to do that. But before I could have an answer, I saw Evergreen stand up across from me. I could tell she was injured from that attack but now she was furious at me. "That's it brat. I'm through toying with you now!"

I don't know what she meant by toying but I saw her take off her glasses. I don't know why she would take them off in the first place but as soon as I looked into her eyes, everything went dark. It was strange. I was conscious but I couldn't move no matter how hard I tried. I could hear voices but they were muffled. Suddenly a bright flash of light appeared in front of my eyes and I was able to move again. "Louise are you ok!" I heard Wendy clearly. I saw everyone around me.

"What happened to me?" My head felt a bit fuzzy for some reason.

"You were struck by Evergreen's stone eye magic." I was confused when Erza said that. Stone eye magic? "Its effect takes place when you look directly in the eyes and you're body turned to stone." So that's what happened to me. I must say that is quite a terrifying power. That must be the reason why she wears glasses.

"So are you feeling all right Louise?" I took in Lucy's words. For some reason, I did feel better. I felt lighter though I don't know why. I nodded so everyone wouldn't worry about me.

"I have to say you did quite a show new girl." I heard a new voice and looked back to see that large man walking up to me with Freed and Bickslow not far behind him. The difference between our heights was a little intimidating to say the least. "There's only a few that can catch Evergreen off guard and from what I can see, you're not a half bad wizard." For someone who looks menacing, he's very kind.

I heard Bickslow laugh. "Not bad newbie. Looks like you do have what it takes to cut it." I'll take that as a compliment.

"Louise, despite what people have said about you in the past, you do have the potential to be great wizard one day. All it takes are the right people to believe in you instead of the ones who don't." I took in Freed's words. What he said did ring some truth. I've always been surrounded by those who kept talking down at me. I kept hearing those same words over and over throughout my life. 'You'll never become a wizard. You can't perform magic.' But what Freed said about being around people who can believe in me, who truly think I can be a great wizard even though I all can do are these explosion spells.

"Hey hold on!" I saw Evergreen walking up to us. "Why are you praising this brat!?"

"If I remember correctly you did provoke her Evergreen." That much is true.

"And she did give you a beating." Does that man have to laugh every time?"

"Beating beating!"

Evergreen scoffed and glared at me. "Listen brat, I went easy on you. Next time you try to fight me; I'll turn your statue into dust." I saw her going back into guild.

I suddenly felt a hand placed on top of my head and looked to see it was that man. "You did not too bad there kid and welcome to Fairy Tail." He removed his hand from my head and went back inside the guild as well with Bickslow and Freed not too far behind. I looked at my hand with the runes and I wondered how I was able to perform that spell. Before I could question it any further, the rest of the guild surrounded and praised me for what I did. This feeling I'm having. It not like anything else I've felt before. I'm hearing praise about what I did and what I can do. So this is what it's like to have those who believe in me.

"WHO'S GOING TO CLEAN UP THIS MESS!?" And that feeling quickly went away when I heard the master's voice. It soon dawned on me that I used my explosion spell twice inside the guild. I'm sure it's a mess. When we were all inside the guild, it was not just a mess. It was a travesty. Everything was scattered and some tables and chairs were broken. I saw the master before with a furious expression on his face.

"It was Louise! It's her fault!" I heard the cat Happy tell the master. That feline!

I growled and started to chase after him. "Get back here you feline!" To be told by a cat. How frustrating.

While I was chasing the cat, Natsu came around and looked at us running around the guild. "What did I miss?"
