Fairy Tail—A Silent Fairy
Chapter Three
AN: I think for the rest of the story I'm going to give little y/n a name which I think may suit her-Samaya. I mean no disrespect to the original owner of this story. I just like the name.
I woke up to the warmth of the sun on my face, and the gentle touch of a small hand on my left forearm. Rubbing the sleep out of my eyes with my right hand. Blinking a few times, I looked over to see y/n waking up as well. She must have put her hand on my arm in her sleep; probably needing comfort through touch.
"Hey squirt, are you feeling any better?" Gajeel asks quietly with a gentle smile on his face.
"I'm feeling a little better, thank you; but my back is still very painful." Y/n answered.
."I'm glad to hear that. There was so much going on yesterday, I forgot to ask you what your name is. Mine is Gajeel Redfox. What's yours?" I replied. I noticed that y/n was able to pinpoint exactly where my face was as I kept talking.
"My name is Samaya Kandoro. I want to thank you for saving me from those awful people." the girl now known as Samaya.
"You're welcome Samaya. I need to go down stairs and get myself some breakfast. Do you need anything?" Gajeel asks before he stands up.
"Yes, umm, I need to, umm, go to the bathroom. And I am a little hungry." Samaya replied, feeling a little embarrassed about having to tell Gajeel the first part.
"Alright, I can take you downstairs with me to a friend of mine who can help you. Her name is MiraJane." Gajeel replied as he stood up and grabbed blanket.
I watched as Samaya slowly sat up, whimpering a few times as pain shot through her back a few times. I knew she was getting ready for me to pick her up. She seemed to know that I was going to wrap a blanket arounds her as she leaned forward a bit. I carefully wrapped the item around her and carefully placed the blanket and arm under her legs. She gasped a little as she settled in to my arms, but didn't scream.
"Are you all set to do this Samaya?"I asked as I turned and walked to the infirmary door. It might be a little scary at first, but you don't have to worry. I'll be there for you." I reassured.
"Okay Gajeel. I trust you." Samaya answered. This comment touched my heart, and tears started to form in his eyes, but he blinked them back as he entered the hallway. When they came to the bar, I motioned MiraJane to stay quiet for a moment. This confused the bar maid for a moment, but obliged, as she saw the young girl look around.
"Samaya, can you sense anyone else near us?" I asked. Me and MiraJane watched as the little girl looked around. Her gaze finally landed near MiraJane. Gajeel motioned for the surprised barmaid to speak gently.
"That was amazing little one. When you are feeling better, I would like to know how you did that." MiraJane replied softly. She was surprised even further when Samaya turned her head a little more and looked right at her.
"Now, what can I do for the two of you?" Mira asked gently.
"Umm, I need to go to the bathroom...and I'm a little hungry. I can't do the first on my own just yet." Samaya replied hesitantly.
"And I need to get some breakfast; as soon as you're done with the Samaya." Gajeel answered.
"Well, I can certainly help you out sweetie. And I'll be careful of her back Gajeel." Mira replied reasuredly.. "Kinana, can you come and get Gajeel something to eat while I tend to Samaya please?
"Sure. Who is Samaya?" Kinana asked.
"This little one is Samaya. The one all you heard scream earlier.
"Alright. Samaya, what would you like to eat?" Kinana asked gently.
Samaya jerked a little in MiraJane's arms and winced a little. She hadn't expected the new woman to be there and her sudden action had caused some pain to shoot through her back.
"Umm, can I have poached eggs and bacon please?" Samaya asked timidly.
"You sure can sweetie. I should have your breakfast ready for you when you come back. Okay?" Kinana reassured.
"Okay." Samaya answered shyly, subconsciously leaning in to Mira, who could feel the young child shiver out of fear.
'What have they done to this child!' MiraJane thought to herself as she took the child to the bathroom.
As MiraJane supported Samaya while she sat on the toilet, she felt the little girl stiffen and grimaced at just about every action she took, just to use the toilet.
'I can't believe someone would be so heartless as to harm a child like this.' MiraJane growled to herself.
"Um, MiraJane-san? I'm finished." Samaya replied quietly, snapping MiraJane from her daydream.
"Hm? I'm sorry sweethaeart. Let's get you off that thing and wrapped up. I'm sure there's two people and a lovely warm breakfast waiting for you." MiraJane stated as she finished wrapping the blanket around her little friend and picked her up carefully.
As they came up to the bar, Kinana came out of the kitchen with Samaya's breakfast. The young woman made sure to make a gentle sound as not to startle the little girl.
"That was good timing; I just finished making your breakfast Samaya. Why don't you come and sit with Gajeel while you eat your breakfast? I think he'd like that." Kinana replied as she walked over to the table Gajeel was sitting at.
"Okay, I'd like tthat. Is the healer coming in today?" Samaya asked as MiraJane gently put her down on a cushioned seat next to the buff iron slayer. The young man gently slid his arm over and touched the young girl's arm to let her know he was there.
Gajeel made a conscious discussion to be like a protective big brother for the little girl. He felt strongly that Samaya had a long road of recovery ahead of her. But he knew the others would be there for Samaya to. He could see that a lot of them already were. At least the ones who where here.
