A/N
~Light~ Okay, it's time to answer a few questions that my twin seems to have forgotten about. *Glares at twin before sitting down all proper like*
To The Awesome Being - You make some very good points but! The relationship thing has to grow with the story also the daughter thing is entirely up to Dark. She is the main creator of this fanfic. This chapter should help clear up a bit of confusion involving that though so enjoy it.
To Braverose - Sorry to disappoint about the whole future thing. (I also wanted that to be the case.) Yes this fanfic takes place roughly 11 years after the current Tartaros Arc but only at the point where Mira and Erza were taken.
To Dragonslayer Ornstein-hakase - Better known as FS-Chan, the guy is known of your business yet, this takes place 11 years after the current Tartaros Arc, Namina is stubborn because of reason explained in this chapter, and your 'little ball of death' has been told and you will NOT FIGHT SOMETHING! *finishes with a yell.*
~Dark~ Why in the world did I end up with a crazy angry person for a twin? *I groan from my spot at the computer* Listen people we don't own Fairy Tail just our OCs! So don't sue us or...something bad will happen...like say...character death! *Says evilly before looking up to see Light standing over me menacingly*
~Light~ Work. Now. *Then turns to computer* Each memory is separated to make it easier so enjoy the chapter and R&R!
Carla opened her eyes to see herself in some kind of lab watching as a woman with bunny ears attacked a five year old girl with long dirty white hair wearing a pillow case and crying.
"You are a monster! Do you understand you worthless thing?" A woman with bunny ears screamed at the small girl with long silver white hair as she curled into a ball after being hit multiple times by said woman. "I regret creating you!" The woman continued while throwing objects at the crying girl. Carla felt sick from watching it as the girl screamed sorry over and over again, she watched in shock as Kyouka stepped forward and placed a clawed hand on the bunny eared woman silencing her on contact.
"Shut up," the avian woman said blandly but the child continued to chant the single word except now in a much quieter whisper instead of a scream. "I said shut up!" The demon yelled suddenly closing the gap between the child and herself and kicking her hard enough that she went flying into a wall hard enough that she slumped to the floor in silence, not moving. Carla flinched and instinctively ran over to the girl finding her still conscious with a small amount of blood dribbling down the corner of her mouth as tears ran down her face.
"Lamy, you have summoned me to show your failure?" Kyouka asked causing Carla to turn and see the other woman cower and shake in fear as she tried to string together an excuse only to fall dead at the demon's feet. The demon then turned and stared at the small toddler as she sat up and looked at her with strange big blue gold eyes that were filled with so much pain that Carla felt her heart.
"You'll die anyway," the demon told the child as tears ran down her dirty face and she rubbed her arm against her face. Carla frowned and wished she was actually there so she could help somehow, but all she could do was watch as the demon easily lifted the girl up by the back of the pillowcase she wore. Sensing some kind of change Carla waited a moment before seeing the scene to change to show them in the middle of a forest. "Die," the demon told the girl before throwing her lazily away from her and vanishing again.
"Sowwy! Sowwy!" The girl screamed scrambling over to the spot the woman had stood before vanishing and frantically screaming the single word over and over with tears and snot running down her small thin face. Carla felt tears rushing down her face as she watched the girl claw at the dirt desperately as her voice grew weaker.
.
"My god," Carla whispered before focusing her powers again, pushing past the sick feeling inside her to show an older Namina, maybe seven wearing a small thing faded blue dress, as she ran down a back street away from a group of men.
"Grab her!" "She mustn't get away!" "Catch the demon!" The men were yelling as Carla followed Namina in the air watching as she wove her way down different alleys until she had left the group behind and was running towards an old nearly caved in shed. Not saying a word she eased through the half collapsed door into a small cozy room that looked the complete opposite of the outside.
"Back!" Namina said proudly grinning as if she had won a prize as an old man that was insanely thin strode purposefully back in forth in the warm room mixing things and writing them down. "Back now!" Namina said sounding a little angry as she pouted and stomped her bare foot. Carla smiled and laughed softly into her palm as the old man looked up with his hair sticking out and smiled broadly.
"Good! Good! Now that you're back we'll start working on that speech of yours...oh and some letters and numbers." The man said before shifting back to his work causing Namina to roll her eyes before jumping over to a pile of blankets and grabbing a worn book.
"Go read?" Namina asked curiously making the old man look up and smile again. Carla watched happily as the old man moved over to her and lifted her up into his lap before carefully reading a tale of a princess who ruled a rich kingdom filled strange magic and people and how she ran away one day to protect the people she loved from getting hurt by an evil king and his men.
"I remember this story! Wendy loved this story and would read it all the time," Carla said softly as she smiled at her own memory as the old man began to patiently teach Namina how to read, helping her pronounce the words until she was able to read a full sentence.
"She ran up the mo..un..tan to es..ca..pe the e..vil kni..fe thrower." Namina said carefully sounding out words until she reached the end and looked up at the old man proudly earning a smile and a pat on the head. "I good?" Namina asked before frowning and holding up a finger.
"I do good?" She asked again making the old man laugh and nod his head.
"Yes Namina, you did very good." He said making Namina jump in happiness at the praise. Carla smiled and watched the happy girl try to speak.
"Name? My name?" She asked pointing at the book before pointing at herself making Carla frown slightly before nodding in understanding as the man spoke.
"Yes that's your name," he told her. "You share the same name as the princess, because you are my little princess." He told her tickling her mercilessly.
.
Carla watched all this before sighing and moving forward again to see Namina walking into a different town no longer wearing the small blue dress from before, instead now she wore a pair of black leggings, sandals, and a large pink shirt and looked sad.
"What's going on?" Carla mumbled to herself as she watched Namina ease into the town before she caught sight of her trying to grab a small loaf of bread that had fallen off the cart. Carla barely had time to blink before the sound of a whip hitting flesh echoed loudly followed by the scream of thief.
"I'm no thief!" Namina screamed holding her bloody arm as people stopped to watch the strange girl getting hit by the owner of the cart until an middle aged woman rushed over with a familiar brown haired boy and stopped the man.
"Stop hurting her!" The woman yelled yanking the whip from the man and glaring at him. "You should know better than to hit an innocent child!" She yelled before hitting him across the face with the whip and, turning on her heel, grabbed Namina's hand in one hand and the little boy's in the other, dragging them both away from the silent area as it began to break out into whispers.
Carla followed close behind watching as they went into a large flower shop and the woman dragged Namina towards the back, ignoring the girl's attempts to get away.
"Stop that! Unless you want me to stick a rose in that arm." The woman said calmly lifting up the angry girl onto the counted and grabbing a few jars to ease the bleeding. "Let me see it," she said calmly holding her hand out to the glaring girl before sighing and grabbing it herself.
"Ow!" Namina yelled as the woman yanked at her arm and poked at it. "Stop that, it hurts." She said with a glare as the woman ignored her and slathered a generous amount of ointment on her arm as a tiny brown haired boy walked over to her holding a handful of flowers.
"You no sad now," Lee said holding up the flowers to Namina as the woman smiled and set her down on the ground in front of him. "Pretty flowers?" Lee said pushing the flowers into Namina's hands. Carla smiled at the cuteness of the situation before something told her to skip ahead, going with her instincts she moved ahead of the moment to roughly a year and half later.
.
"Demon! You killed her didn't you?" A man yelled at Namina as she shielded a terrified Lee from the onslaught of items being thrown at them. Carla frowned as she caught sight of Namina's arms which were covered in black flames and had claws coming out of the finger tips.
"Didn't. Didn't kill her." Carla could faintly hear Namina mumbling as she caught sight of the blank look in the girl's eyes as Lee cowered beneath her, clutching her ripped brown apron as the flower shop burned down the street from them. Suddenly a large metal pan connected with Namina's back making a sickening crunch sound as she fell on top of Lee with a cry of pain.
Carla watched with a mix of horror and fear as Namina slowly got back up and lifted Lee up, dusting the scared boy off with a weak smile before turning just as more things were thrown all of them similar to the pan. At this point Carla lost control of her magic as she felt anger hit her in a powerful wave forcing her to snap back to reality.
.
She stood over Namina, who didn't seem to have moved, panting as Mira moved off the bed to grab a small bottle of water.
"Those...monsters!" Carla hissed between breaths before taking the offered drink and downed it all greedily. "How long was...I in a trance?" She asked Mira a few minutes later once she was sure she could speak without her anger taking control.
"I'm not sure but it couldn't have been more than a few minutes. What did you see?" Mira asked worry in her voice and on her face as she watched Carla set the empty bottle down beside her and sigh.
"Something no one should have to suffer," Carla told Mira before diving into the story. It took an hour but by the time she was finished Mira knew that Namina was incredibly strong to have gone through all of that and come out of it with only mistrust and slight anger issues.
"It's no longer a surprise why she thinks she cursed," Mira whispered as Namina began to wake up with a groan as she gingerly touched her scalp.
.~.~.
I groaned as I woke up to a pounding headache and the feeling of being in an unfamiliar area. Slowly I eased my eyes open and forced myself to sit up blinking at the blurriness around me until I found myself looking at Mira.
"How do you feel?" She asked me as I frowned and looked around immediately spotting Carla, who was looking at me sadly.
"I'm fine, what about the others?" I asked rubbing my face to wake myself up. As if they heard me speaking the door flew open and the boys fell inside while the girls walked over them making the boys groan loudly. "Never mind," I muttered as I was circled and stared at dramatically.
"What!" I yelled hating the feeling of them staring before regretting it as they all jumped on me.
"We're sorry!" "You're okay!" "Forgive us!" "Don't be mad!" "Please stay!" I heard them all yell as they smothered me making it hard for me to breath.
"Get off!" I grunted as I pushed myself above them and somehow managing to get out of the bed and land in Mira's lap. "Uh," I tried to speak as I saw her look at me in surprise before suddenly enveloping me in a hug that was tighter than the others landing on me.
"Cute!" She squealed as she strangled me. I tried to push away from her as I noticed the others watching with knowing smiles along with laughter. "You're so cute!" Mira squealed in my ear as she snuggled into my hair making me struggle even more.
"Let go!" I yelled as the others laughed at my predicament while I sent glares there way. I continued to struggle as Mira hugged me before noticing she was shaking slightly.
"Nami-chan, does this mean you'll get a guild mark and join the guild?" Elizabeth asked me drawing my thoughts away from Mira.
"My name's not Nami-chan!" I yelled making the red smile at me, "and if it means getting out of this hug then yes! I'll get a dang mark!" I yelled making everyone laugh as I silent questioned myself on what I had just done.
