The first to show themselves were just a pair of twins, a boy and girl the dark feature of their curly brunette hair clashing with their bright blue eyes, they looked to be at least five years old. Next was an older boy of about ten years old with dark crimson hair, his long bangs reaching his equally bright blue eyes. The couple that followed the young children was easy to tell that they were the parents. The woman looked to be at least in her late forties with the slight wrinkles around her mouth and eyes. She had long thick dark crimson hair framing her aged face, but with her jewel toned blue eyes it was easy to see who the kids got their eyes from. But the woman walked in a weird fashion, her back was arched back and her feet went out in almost like a waddle, she also had a hand curved around her lower stomach; she was pregnant. The man who was helping the woman by closely walking next to her, carrying what looked like a heavy basket. He was tall and slim but he too looked at least in his late forties with the wrinkles across his face. His dark brown hair peeked out from underneath his straw hat, the shade protecting his light brown eyes from the sun.

The set of twins ran around screaming through the field of flowers until their baby blue eyes set eyes on the wizards that were watching them closely.

"Mommy!" the boy screamed running back towards the woman.

"What is it Val?" the woman asked surprised to see her son running towards her.

"It looks like we're not the only ones visiting Tristine" the man was the next to take knowledge of their presence.

As soon as Maiden locked eyes with the woman's, she knew. And she knew the woman knew the way her bright blue eyes flinched meeting her golden brown ones. The woman quickly stopped in her tracks, still gaze locked with Maiden.

"Darien" the woman breathed making the man look at her.

"What is it? Is it the baby?" the man asked quickly.

"No it's it's" the woman stuttered over her words pointing at Maiden.

The man looked from his wife to the unknown girl that stood a couple feet away from them. His light brown eyes analyzed over her features, taking in the crimson tinted brown hair and the light golden eyes. It didn't even take a second before the man staggered back a step, his mouth opening to say just one word.

"Eclair?"

He real name, it sent shivers throughout her whole body hear her birth name from the lips of her father. Maiden felt her blood run cold, time slowing down to process that this was real. This man and woman standing just six feet away were her real parents. This wasn't just a wild daydream or hallucination that she had conjured up. Thumping in her head from her heart racing was the thing that let her know that this was indeed real.

"Eclair who is that?" Laxus's voice was the next to speak.

Maiden snapped out of her thought's to the sound of his deep baritone.

"That's me, my real name" Maiden's voice cracked as she raised a hand to point at the couple, " and those are my parents"

A tear rolled down her cheek as she spoke, she had waited so long for this moment to finally see her parents. Her finger went from pointing at the couple to the burnt down house on her right side.

"And this is where they sold me to Raphael, my home"

This seemed to trigger something in the couple as the woman pushed the twin who were clinging to her skirt to the older boy. She hurriedly told the old boy to take the twins home, while the husband told the boy not to question why and just do as he told. While this happened, Maiden's gaze traveled from the older boy to the twins and then finally settling on the round bump that was visible on the woman's stomach. Maiden envied them, they got to be kept and loved while she had endured the pain of being sold and violated. Her gaze still followed them as they walked off back into the forest back to their 'home'.

"You are the ones that sold Maiden to the dark guild then?" Evergreen pursed her lips from behind her green fan.

"Wow some parents you are" Bixlow hissed, his dolls circling around the couple repeating his words.

The couple clung to each other seeing Bixlow's dolls orbit around them.

"Yes we did do that, we did sell Eclair to Raphael, but but but we're different now" The man spoke.

Laxus stood back his orange eyes lingering on Maiden as she stood still just letting this happen. This is what she had came for, he was going to have to let her handle it.

"We realized what we had done was wrong, we should've never sold you for drugs Eclair, but we tried to look for you, we promise" the woman was going to say more.

She couldn't believe what they had just said. They changed? Realized what they did was wrong? Tried to look for her? Maiden gritted her teeth, there was his fiery pit pooling in her stomach as she listened to what they were saying. It took selling her for drugs, having the one person that cared for her killed, and destroying her life to realize that what they did was wrong. She couldn't listen to them anymore.

"Shut up!" Maiden yelled, this caught everyone's attention.

There was so much she wanted to say. Years and years of torture, pain, humiliation, fear, and agony came spilling out.

"I don't care if you changed and realize what you did was wrong! How could you sell me in the first place? How could you do that to you own child, what kind of monster could do that a child? I was only seven years old!" Maiden didn't care if this was unlike her.

"We went looking for you two years afterwards!" the man yelled.

"Two years! Do you know what they did to me after just one year?" Maiden found herself crossing the distance to them.

What happened shocked the rest of the Fairy Tail members. Even more so than the short mage raising her voice to the very people she had come looking for and telling them to shut up as well. Her small hand took hold of the man's wrist and put his hand up to to cover her throat in a choking manner. She held it there while her usual wide childlike eyes were now narrowed into a deep stare at him.

"I cannot tell you how many times Raphael and his disciples held me like this against the ground, a wall, a table, in the air while they violated my body" her voice was deep with hatred.

"No" the man quickly dropped his hand, holding it to his chest.

"I was only eight when Raphael took my innocence away, so tell me again how you realized what you did was wrong" she dared them.

The woman fell to her knees shuddering as the man held her shoulders holding her to his chest. Tears rolled down the woman's face as she sobbed facing the reality of what they've done. The man's eyes were wide still processing what Maiden had said to them.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry we put you through that" the woman sobbed looking up at Maiden.

Maiden gritted her teeth hearing her 'mother' apologize through choking sobs and hiccups. Her eyes were still narrowed down into a glare at them, this isn't what she had wanted to hear.

"You're sorry? Do you think sorry can make all of this go away?"

RIIIIIIPPPP

Pieces of fabric fell to the ground as Maiden grabbed the front of her light blue Chinese shirt and ripped it open showing her tank top underneath. Skin of her arms, shoulders, and collar bones were visible to show the many scars that Porlyusica hadn't been able to erase. True horror showed across the couple's face seeing the many faded burns and scars across her pale skin, finally noticing the ones visible between the space of her caprice and boots.
