'its been weeks since I arrived on this dreadful island of death.' I thought to myself 'how long am I supposed to stay here?' 'My whole life?' 'Not if I have anything to say about it I want revenge on these bastards for what they took from me, from my brother!'
"Big sis are you okay?" Sho asked as I turned to face him still with my determined face showing yet letting it slip ever so slightly as I saw the young blonde.
"Yeah" I said with a smile rubbing his head "I'm just sick of following the orders of these freaks."
"Well that's good to know because I'm thinking that we need to make an escape." A bluenette from behind me said with determination on his face as I turned to look at him
"Jellal!" I said "Do you really think we can escape from this place?" I asked with hope in my voice. He rested his hand upon my shoulder giving me a look that made me blush a little.
"Of course as long as we have hopes and dreams we will be able to make it out of this hell." He said confidently. "I will come up with a plan to get us all out of here."
"Hold it kids" an old voice called out to us coming closer to whisper. "If you are planning to make an escape attempt you will need to be extremely careful, you will need to learn the times the guards change shifts, who works on what days so you will know who to expect and find a way off the island.
"Grandpa Rob!" I said looking at him
"Hush child you will need to be stealthy and secretive if you plan to escape." Rob said with a finger over his mouth. "That being said Jellal you will need to consult me when you have finished your plan so I can gauge if it will have a chance at success or not." He said quietly to Jellal.
"Right" replied Jellal nodding, already working on his plan and keeping in mind what Rob told him 'This is going to be tough but I know we can do it' he thought.
"You three are going to need help with this plan I advise you to ask some of your friends over there in the corner." He said pointing at the back corner of the room.
"Promise me that you won't act on your plan unless I say you have a chance." Grandpa Rob asked us "Promise" all three of us said at the same time in a hushed voice.

'Two days left until Fay and Tomas leave for Hargeon, Tomas said he would take me with him too Psion due to it being on the route to Hargeon. And I have to say I'm quite excited this is my ticket to finding her.' I thought while getting dressed to meet Fay outside for my magic training. As I walked outside I saw her over off in the clearing near the edge of the forest on the way to Rosemary.
"Fay!" I exclaimed walking up to her
"About time you got out here we don't have long and this will take some time to accomplish and we won't have the luxury to stop every day so I can help you out." She said
"Alright then lets get started." I said
"First how old are you Alexander?" She asked
"Um.. 8?" I said confused "Why?"
"Well you see normally people don't show strong signs of magic power this early on in their lives." She stated "What this means is that you should have an easier time sensing your magic since you already unlocked it due to the trauma you received back in Rosemary."
"So my magic is that force I used?" I asked
"Not necessarily, see my grandfather and I went to where you said you had that outburst of power. It just looks like you expelled almost all your power at once creating that shockwave so I don't believe it to be your magic because there would have been some sort of indicator in it."
"O-okay.." I started "so what do I do?"
"Well first things first sit down with your legs crossed like this" she said as she got into a meditative pose. "After you have done this you will need to close your eyes and focus your mind on finding the power deep within yourself it should be a warm sensation coursing throughout your body."
I sat down in the meditative pose and closed my eyes and began to search deep within myself. Deeper, deeper. 'I have to go deeper than this if I want to find my magic.' I thought concentrating. 'Deeper, more, more, more!' Then it came the feeling, flooding throughout my body.
'I feel something more than warmth it's almost as if I can touch it.' Just then a brilliant crimson flashed and it was all I could see as my hand unconsciously started to reach out palm outstretched flaring my power.
"Alexander!" Fay yelled as she grabbed my wrists.
Fay Pov
'He is flaring his power, what is this?' I thought as he started to point his hand outwards. 'Huh, does he know some kind of magic he shouldn't unless..' I started thinking about what this could be when I saw a large mass of crimson magic appear high above over Alex's head, as this was happening I saw his magic power take a huge drop in reserves.
"Alexander!" I yelled grabbing him by the wrists
'What the hell was that?' I thought as I caught him slumping into my arms once more.
Alex Pov
Few Hours Later
'What the hell was that?' I thought 'That power was so… so… beautiful.' I started to rise from where I was laying only to be met with more of the disgusting green brew.
"Oi kid drink up" said Fay with a mocking smile.
'Not again!' I thought as I reached up toward the bottle with a disgusted look upon my face. 'This is the most disgusting thing I've ever drank in my entire life.'
I looked at Fay who had the same smile on her face as she nodded her head.
"Cmon drink it up if you want my help with your magic you have too….." She said mockingly.
"Grrr" I growled drinking it all at once causing me to gag uncontrollably.
"Hehehe" Fay giggled. "Don't worry that will be the last one you need to drink for a while."
"Well kid you're lucky you seem to have your own magic."
"What?" I asked confused. "I thought you had to be taught magic in order to use it?"
"Well.." Fay began. "That's how it is with most people but it seems you have your own seeing how you almost cast a spell that would've killed you or knocked you out for a few days at best."
"I a-almost d-died?" I asked a little afraid.
"No need to worry seeing how it was your first time casting the spell it was bound to take almost everything you have that's how it goes with people who are born with a special magic." She said putting a hand upon my shoulder to reassure me.
"Well can I try again?" I asked
"No way" she said simply causing me to frown.
"Well why not?" I asked narrowing my eyes.
She sighed, "Your magic is at near zero." She said shrugging. "Looks like we will have to wait a bit before trying again, which is good news because it looks like the old man is ready to talk to you." Fay said shooing me away.
"Fine where is he?" I said glaring at the lady.
"Outside!" Came a voice from outside which could only have been Tomas.
Sighing, I started my way outside not leaving before casting another glare back a Fay who just kept shooing me away with that gesture that just got under my skin.
"Old lady" I muttered under my breath. Which she some how heard and threw a shoe of hers at me which missed by a mile as I ran out the door.
"BRAT!" She yelled from inside just as I closed the door behind me with a small chuckle.
"Alexander come" said Tomas holding the wrapped sword in his hand.
"What were we going to do?" I asked looking at the bundle in his hands.
"Well we're going to see if you can learn how to use a sword." He stated handing me the bundle.
"In two days!?" I asked franticly "how the hell am I supposed to learn how to use a sword in two days!"
"Now, now we have more than a week on the road so you have 9 days." He said looking at me calmly.
"That's still not enough time!" I yelled throwing my hands up in the air.
"Whelp that's all you are getting from me Alexander if you want to get into the mercenaries you need to have at least passing skill now unwrap the sword."
'Damn it if it means finding my sister I guess I have to master a sword in nine days.' I thought as I started to unwrap the bundle, eventually unwrapping it fully to observe a beautiful silver blade with a black and gold handle and a matching black and gold pommel with the shape of an upside down U with the two end becoming sharp points.
"That is a hybrid lacrima sword that will swallow your magic and become a sword that will fit you the best." He said "what it is now was my perfect sword back when I was a mercenary."
"This is a beautiful blade." I said my eyes passing all over it from tip to pommel. "Do the colors represent you swell?" I asked
"Why yes they do black and gold is my best colors." He said showing the clothing underneath his brown cloak which was indeed a black and gold tunic.
"So how do I make it mine?" I asked eyes still fixed upon the blade.
"Well you will have to pump your magic into it" He said.
"And how do I…" I started
"You will have to ready it in your hands and focus your power to move through your arm and into the sword, imagine it like an extension of your arm" he said cutting me off rudely and stepping back.
"Why are you stepping back?" I asked nervously
"No need to be concerned just do what I said" he said taking one final step back.
I gulped 'Well here goes nothing' I thought. As I was thinking that I closed my eyes and began to imagine moving the warmth within my body and into the sword. As I did so I felt the sword grow until it got way to heavy to hold in the air so it dropped to the ground with my arm still attached.
"What the.." I said
"Concentrate!" He said sternly
I refocused my efforts onto the sword as I felt it suck more power I felt the handle elongate into a larger one.
"Hmm interesting" Tomas said walking closer "you can stop now it looks like you got it."
I opened my eyes a little tired from using the small amount of magical energy I had left. Only to see a gigantic sword the size of a full grown man sitting there on the ground with my hand still holding upon its handle. It was a huge sword with the blade the same color of my magic a beautiful crimson with no guard and a gold and white handle and a small golden dragon streaked with white scales as the pommel.
"Wow" I said surprised at my perfect sword.
"Wow indeed young Alexander, wow indeed." He said admiring my sword
"Umm" I started
"Yes?" He asked
"How am I supposed to be able to use this I'm eight…" I said looking at him a little worried.
Erza Pov
"Hey Erza" Jellal called out to me as I turned toward him and the group.
"Yeah?" I replied
"What's your dream?' He asked me
"Uh.." I started a little confused "why?" I asked
"I just want to know, see I don't have a dream other than escaping the Tower here so I wanted to know everybody's so I can see what I might want to do." He replied
"Oh, well I have two dreams" I said sticking out two fingers to make my point.
"The first is to avenge my family by killing Pale Eyes" I started putting down 1 finger. "And the last is to join Fairy Tail like Grampa Rob I've always loved his stories of people who come together and go on adventure as a family" I said putting down my second finger.
"Wow you got this all planned out don't you" he said with a little smirk causing me to blush.
"Well" he said "if your going to go on adventures you're going to need a last name don't ya think?"
"I g-guess" I said stuttering a little while still blushing.
"Well how's this 'Erza Scarlet' like your beautiful red hair" he said smiling causing me to blush even harder.
"I like that 'Erza Scarlet' I'm sure my brother would have loved it too" I said smiling happily with tears in my eyes falling slowly.
Jellal who was taken aback a little asked "You have a brother?"
I nodded "A twin actually, he is only a few seconds older than I, but he has always treated me like a little sister."
"So why don't you talk about him more?" He asked curiously
"Uhm.." I started looking sadly at Jellal "he was killed during the raid in my village…"
"Oh" he said looking guilty 'I'm an idiot of course he would be dead there is no one else here with red hair like hers.' He thought to himself
"I-I'm sorry for your loss.." He said looking down
I shook my head "no need everyone here has lost someone or something that they loved more than anything."
"If you don't mind I think I'm going to go to sleep now" I sated while laying down with the rest of the group over in the corner.
"Y-yeah" Jellal said still feeling guilty 'I'm an idiot' he thought smacking himself in the head.
That night I had a horrible nightmare….
