Bixanna Week Day 2: Gifts]
"What an unusual payment to get from a job" a ten year old Lissana wondered aloud as she turned the wooden figure over in her hands. It was unusual and she had never seen one before. The man who gave it to her said it was called a tiki doll. Turning once more in her hands she continued down the path to the guild until she ran into someone.
"Oh sorry" she said to them.
"Move out of my way! I don't wanna get hurt!" He exclaimed as he pushed her out of the way and ran off with two others following him.
"How rude" Lissana thought to herself as she continued down the road. Humming a tune to herself she rounded the corner to see a young boy who was bent over and…..blood?! Quickly the girl ran over to the boy.
"Are you alright" she exclaimed.
"No, of course not" he said "I'm sitting around my own blood"
"Of course, sorry for asking the obvious" she said "So would you like any help." The boy looked up and she found herself staring into his green eyes with her blue.
"I guess no one's gonna help me anyway" he mumbled "I'm already labeled as a freak around her"
"Oh uh, why is that" she said as she offered him her hand.
Hesitantly he grabbed it "People think I'm weird"
"But you must have done something to make them accuse you of such a thing"
"I don't like to talk about that"
"Oh come on, just tell me a bit"
He looked over at her pleading eyes and with a sigh he said "My magic is kinda hard to control, and it's hurt and scared a lot of people. No one likes me because I threaten their peace"
"Oh, well that's just mean. It's natural to be unable to control magic when you start off. If you train a bit and find someone who can teach you how to use it then you won't hurt anyone anymore"
"Really?"
"Really, I was lucky. My big sister and brother helped me learn how to control my magic"
"Oh"
"So where is your house?"
"I don't have one"
"Umm where are your parents?"
"Dead"
"Then where do you stay, who takes care of you?"
"I live on the streets and I can take care of myself"
"But don't you have any family?"
"Either dead or too scared to take me in"
"That's not nice"
"Tell me about it"
Placing her hand on her chin she stopped walking and thought for a minute. The boy stopped and looked back at her.
"Are you-"
"I got it!" Lissana exclaimed.
"Got what?"
"You can come to Fairy Tail"
"Fairy Tail? What's that?"
"That's the wizard guild I belong to. They could help fix up your wounds and you can join and learn magic" she exclaimed.
"I'm not sure that's a good idea"
"It's a great idea"
"Well, it's not like I have anywhere to go. It would be nice to learn to control my magic"
"Okay then" she said grabbing his hand "Let's get going"
"You know" he said as she dragged him out of the town "I don't even know your name"
"I'm Lissana Strauss and what is yours?"
"Bixlow"
"No last name?" she asked.
"No"
"We'll have to give you one"
"I don't need one"
"Fine then Bixlow, let's hurry to Fairy Tail"
When they arrived at the guild Bixlow stared at the building in awe before asking "Are you sure they want to take me in"
"Of course, we're all family here"
"Family" he whispered.
"Here" she said offering out her hands with the wooden figure in them "I saw you looking at it earlier and I have no use for it. So you can have it"
"Huh" he said as he took it out of her hands and turned it over before turning to her with a smile on his face "Thanks, I've never had anything of my own"
With a smile she grabbed his vacant hand and took him into the guild.
