Chapter 1 Lost and Alone

I awoke to the smell of something burning.

"Huh, looks like the kids awake" I heard an elderly voice announce.

"Yeah poor kid I can only imagine what he's been though especially with how we found him a few weeks ago." said a younger feminine voice.

I slowly opened my eyes to find two people staring at me, a young girl and an extremely old man. Both seemed surprised that I was awake. The girl had raven black hair with streaks of what seemed to be silver and deep blue eyes. Wearing a long brown cloak with long rabbit ears stitched to the top. The old man with completely white hair almost translucent, eyes the same deep blue as the younger females.

"Ugh" I said while holding my hand to my forehead. "What is going on? Who are you two? Where is my sister? Where am I? Why aren't I dead?" I asked sounding panicked while sitting up quickly.

"Woah, woah hold on there youngin" said the old man "you just woke up you've been out for 2 weeks! Let's start the questions one at a time if you wouldn't mind?" He said pushing me back down gently.

"W..who are you?" I asked confused.

"My names Tomas, I am a traveling magic merchant." Said the old man now Tomas.

"Yep!" Said the young woman "I am Fay! Humble magic merchant and granddaughter to the old fart here" said Fay.

"Oi watch it girl you may be my granddaughter but I'm not taking any rude comments from you." Said Tomas which caused Fay to roll her eyes.

"So what's your name?" Both asked at the same time.

"Alexander…." I replied still a little confused.

"Well met, young Alexander" said Tomas scratching his scalp

"What happened why aren't I dead?" I asked holding my hand to where the blade pierced me, only to find that it was covered in bloody bandages.

"Well youngin we found you run through from back to front, out near the docks of Rosemary Village." Said Tomas "After we found you still clinging onto life just slightly I decided to help you out by taking you to a nearby cottage out in the woods where I stop along my travels around Fiore."

"What about the dark mages there did you see where they were going!" I said hurriedly "where did they take my sister I have to find her!" Trying to setup again only to be held firm by the woman Fay.

"I'm sorry kid we don't know where they went, even if we did there is no way you can do anything in your condition." She said sadly while looking at me with true remorse in her eyes

'Damn it all what kind of brother am I, I couldn't even save my little sister from those damn dark mages!' I thought to myself disgusted with my actions. "I should've been the one to be taken not her, It should've been me it's all my fault…." I started ranting before being cut off

"Kid!" Fay yelled at me. I looked at her startled and a tiny bit afraid.

"You can't beat yourself up about this!" She said softly now that I was paying attention. "You did the best you could and I'm sure she feels the same."

"How long have I been out?" I asked quietly.

"Two weeks so far" said Tomas "We didn't expect you to wake up just yet, thought you'd be down for another week at least."

I sat up pushing off Fay's hand that was holding me down so I could look around at my surroundings, only to find that I was in fact in a cottage of some sort. The cottage was quite small with two cots, a small kitchen, and fireplace in the center at the front of the cottage.

"Thank you for saving me" I said bowing my head slightly.

"You got lucky Alexander, it was touch and go there for quite a while we almost lost you." Replied Fay helping me stay up.

'I need to go.' I thought 'I need to find Erza she's all alone without me and she's been captured and taken who knows where, I will have to find her and…..'

"Hold it" Fay said. "I know that look on your face Alexander but your not okay to do anything in your condition you will have to wait until you can at least walk on your own."

"I can't wait!" I yelled "I have to find her, I have to find Erza she's been captured by those dark mages and taken!"

"Like I said you can't even walk yet much less find your sister." She said calmly as she held me firm

"As soon as I am able to walk I'm going to have to leave to find her." I said laying back down to rest, my eyes slowly shutting as I drifted into a cold unconsciousness.

"Well thats better than nothing Fay." Tomas said while shaking his head. "We can't stay for long either only for another week before we have to leave for Hargeon."

"Yeah I know at least the kid should be well enough to make it on his own afterwards." Fay said

"Let us hope." Replied Tomas

In my dreams lie my own personal hell

There she was, my little sister Erza playing with a doll of hers that I bought on one of her birthdays before the raid. I was watching out for her making sure no one would come and bother her.

We have been living in Rosemary all our lives. From when we were found at the step of the village church, at first it was great we had many people to take care of us. The people at the church were nice and we could act as normal children. That was until the pastor Nick passed, we weren't cared for anymore a new pastor a large man named Lucky took over the leadership of the church and he didn't care for any of the children. All he cared for was money and shiny objects like rings, necklaces, earrings, and cups. They were all expensive as a result of his reckless spending, the kids in the church we were all kicked out so he could have more of a budget for his shiny collection.

Left abandoned in the cold months with nothing but the clothes on our backs and a bundle of food. I found us a worn down, old shack that had been empty as long as I could remember. Being on our own wasn't too bad the only hard part was getting food and new clothing for Erza. I didn't want her to be cold or to starve so I went around town asking for small jobs I could do here and there. It didn't take long before I could afford what she would need to make her happy, such as warm clothing decent food instead of the hard bread we received back at the church. All was well she was happy I was able to make it by with the left over money overall we were happy.

She was always small and cute and I loved to make fun of her for it.

"Hey give me the plate already I have to set the table!" Erza said annoyed.

"Haha little Erza can't even reach a plate look how small you are!" I said laughing at her cute expression.

"Just give it to me Alex!" She said reaching for the plate.

"Fine, fine here you go little Erza." I said still lightly laughing at her "alright now go set the table I have something special for you today I bought it from the bakery up the street."

Immediately large eyes sparkled looking at me and I couldn't help but smile. She quickly ran over and finished setting up the table and sat down with a stupid grin on her face waiting for what would become her favorite food.

"Tada!" I said unwrapping the box showing her in plain sight a small strawberry cake with white frosting that said 'Happy Birthday Erza!' She was bobbing her head up and down in excitement.

"Alright Erza its our birthday today so I got you a strawberry cake!" I said with a happy smile upon my face.

"YES!" She yelled as I set the cake down in front of her.

"Here I got you a gift as well Alex!" She pulled out a small brown bag with a golden string enclosing the top. Handing it to me with a smile she said "I hope you like it."

"Thank you" I said as I slowly opened the bag and let the contents pour onto my open palm. It was a wooden ring with small crude engravings upon the top that said 'Best Brother.' And with it came a small string so I could put it around my neck seeing as it was way too large to actually put on.

I smiled, "Thank you Erza this is a wonderful gift."

Then it happened the screams, the yelling oh how loud it was.

"Alex what is that?" Said Erza a little frightened

I walked up to the window and saw the sky beginning to darken into red and smoke filling the air with fires burning on the outskirts of town.

"Erza come on we have to go!" I said quickly running to her "Go grab some clothing and throw it into your pack and get some for me we will have to leave."

"But…" she started

"NOW!" I yelled at her as she jumped back with fear in her eyes before nodding and running to our cots

I was getting as much food as I could when I heard footsteps approaching our door and some men yelling "Look the lights are on over in this house lets check it out!"

"S-shit!" I said quietly grabbing what I could and ran over to Erza seeing her finish packing. I opened up the window in the back corner of the room and silently motioned for her to get through. As she was half way out I heard the door get kicked open.

I saw the men looking around the house as I managed to get out without being spotted and slowly closed the window.

"Alex what do we do now?" Erza asked quietly shaking

I looked at her and motioned her to follow me quietly, as we began to sneak around the house to where there were no windows and started to make our way to the woods when I heard two men say.

"Look two more trying to escape!" "Yeah I see them!"

I grabbed onto Erza's arm and ran as fast as I could eventually losing the men behind us but not for long. I spotted a fertilizer bin that should be large enough to hold all our stuff and Erza while I managed to get those guys to follow me away from her so I can double back and escape with Erza to the woods.

"Okay Erza you need to stay here and wait for me alright?"

I awoke screaming in the middle of the night, panting hard and shaking while crying out my sister's name. "ERZA!"

I was suddenly grabbed and shouted at making me even more afraid than I was and more frantic to find her. I was kicking and thrashing as hard as I could trying to escape the dark mages so I could find my sister.

"Alexander!" I heard someone say, "Stop thrashing about boy!" I heard an older voice yell out. Slowly I looked up panic, dread and fear flashing from my eyes before nothingness engulfed me one more.

Fay Pov

I heard the kid screaming in the corner of the cottage as I ran to him I tried to calm him down "hey you're going to be alright it's just a nightmare calm down." I said reassuringly but that seemed to have the opposite effect for when he heard me he starting trashing and kicking me.

"Hey old man get over here I need some help!" I said to my grandfather hurriedly.

"Alexander!" I yelled trying to hold him down unsuccessfully.

My grandfather came over and tried to help me hold him down so he could have a chance at getting calm again before he kicked my grandfather in the face quite hard.

"Stop trashing about boy!" He yelled at the kid which caused him to stop trashing, yet still shaking like a person walking around naked around MT, Hakabe.

He looked up at us and his eyes were something I would never want to see on any child. They were filled with panic and an overwhelming amount of fear. And after he slumped into my arms full dead weight. I looked at my grandfather concerned.

"Old man…." I said

He shook his head "let him rest he will need it so we can talk to him in the morning." He commanded

"I don't know it was going to be this bad whoever took his sister really traumatized him."

Well that's it for chapter two I hope you all enjoyed it

I am going to have him make his jounrey alone because I believe that's whats best for him. I don't want him making any sort of lasting relationships with characters that are only going to be seen once or twice throughout this story because it will only hurt him never seeing them again when he will only focus on finding his sister
