Chapter four.
Fina folded her hands over her lap, trying to look as if she wasn't threatened by the question.
"I don't have to tell you" She spoke calmly. Hoping that her voice didn't waver.
"Well, we did just save your butt, so you owe us" The Bluette responded cracking her neck which sent shivers down the Pinkette's back.
Lucy spotted the slight increase in the girls breathing, which signaled either distress or fatigue. And since, her key had carried the girl, she guess the former.
"We just want to know if we can help" Lucy explained holding out her hand to Fina.
Taking a chance, the Pinkette focused on her bare feet and curled her legs up to her chest, "My name is Fina Hanabusa. I used to live there," She explained pointing to the palace-like building once more, "My life was like any other normal Noble" Lucy and Onix nodded, whilst Anya commented.
"Seriously? I'm the only not-noble person here?"
Lucy covered the black-haired girls mouth before motioning for Fina to continue.
"I always had a fascination with the village a few miles down and every night I would sneak out. I have the Split-Personality Ability and used it to get around" She turned to Anya, "A split personality means that you have two consciences"
"I know what it means!"
Fina raised an eyebrow, "Just checking. Tonight was like all other nights, I snuck out using my Imp personality and traveled through the city, but that's when I saw them..." She trailed off, her fingernails had began digging into her legs.
"It will make you feel better if you share your pain with others. Trust me" Anya said remembering how much weight had been lifted off of her shoulders when she'd told Lucy and Onix about her past. They'd accepted her and even allowed her to tag along. That was a treasure in itself.
"Are you sure?"
"Positive" Anya smiled comfortingly.
Taking a deep breath, Fina continued her story, "My parents. They were taking the children who had no home and were using them as slaves. I never knew they had a Slave Trade, so at first I thought they were just giving them a place to live...but I was wrong"
Something cracked in her voice, making Onix put an arm around her shoulder.
"I-I didn't know" She sobbed, "I ran out to the beach where you all found me and decided to go back to ask them to stop, but..."
The tears where falling at a slow rate, showing how much she hated crying in front of others. She was a noble for Christs sake! And nobles didn't bother others like this. But, no matter how Fina tried to tell herself to run, she couldn't find the energy to leave. Mainly because she didn't want to.
"Shhh" Lucy soothed rubbing her back in a circular motion, "We're here. They can't touch you"
Fina began to recompose herself with the drops of water still sliding down her face, "I didn't know they'd try to kill me"
Onix lifted her hand and placed it on the Pinkette's face, wiping a tear away, "If they even try, I'm gonna make their insides become their outsides"
A shaky laugh escaped the girls pink lips, "Thanks"
"So what are you gonna do?" Lucy asked.
"I'm...going to become stronger so I can stop them"
Onix's face brightened slightly, "Do you want to join our guild?"
XxXxXx
Fairy Tail
The guild had gone quiet as Venus left, forcing the door close. Natsu and Gray had been in the middle of a fight, but froze halfway through, with Gray gripping Natsu's vest.
Erza was just as shocked as everyone else. No one had ever left Fairy Tail willingly, so it was a first the words I quit had resonated throughout the room.
Lisanna and her older sister had stopped working behind the bar. You could see Mirajane half wanted to cry and half wanted to find out what made her leave. But it was as if winter had come early as every bit of life had drained from the guild.
Venus. Was that her real personality? A loud and angry child? No, it wasn't possible, was it?
"My children" Master Makarov was standing on the upstairs railing, "I am sorry to say, that our sister Venus had left"
"No shit" Juvia mumbled uncharacteristically.
"She has decided to follow in...Lucy's footsteps" The guild gasped and froze even more. Gray had to put on a pair of pants, "She seems to believe that Lucy is innocent" And that was the last thing he said before disappearing into his office once more. Leaving Fairy Tail in a wave of shock.
XxXxX
"Wahooo!" Onix shouted like a little girl. Already they had four members in their guild. Fina had a faint blush dusting her perfectly peach face. Swiftly, she had put up her parasol ad let it block her from the suns hot rays as the others already had a layer of sweat sticking to them, each for a different.
Lucy had tied her shoulder length, blonde hair up into a bun with a strand escaping on either side, much to her annoyance, whilst Anya had merely clipped it all up.
Onix on the other hand...had used the water to slick it up and layer it on top of each other giving her a very mature look.
"Where are we going?" Fina questioned curiously. She had ben quiet most of the walk and the hot sun was starting to heat up the sand, making it burn her feet.
"Anyway where there is food" Anya nodded with her hand on her chin in a very animated way. Lucy spotted their new friends bare feet and stopped walking. Without a word she stripped off her boots and handed them to the girl.
"Here. Your feet must be dying"
"But, what about you?"
Lucy smiled before holding her foot up to show bear socks, "I'll be fine" Hastily, Fina pulled on the shoes and walked beside Lucy, feeling more comfortable around the blonde.
"So, Fina..." Anya started, trying to think up a topic.
"Please don't call me that"
Onix raised her eyebrow, "Why not?"
Fina looked to the side clutching her parasol's handle tighter, "It brings up to any memories"
Lucy nodded as if it finally made sense, "How about a nickname instead?"
Fina's eyes widened, she'd never had a nickname before.
"I vote Fifi" Anya declared, her arm linked with the Bluette.
"Oh, god no"
"Psh! Well sorry princess"
"Princess...I like it" Fina admitted, letting a small smile befall her which amplified her beauty. Onix noticed and immediately stated, "You're cuter when you smile"
"Thank you" Princess said, her blush from before dominating her face.
"Well, Princess. Where did you say this town was again?" Lucy asked, her arm's were looped with Onix's and their new friend.
After surviving the heat, they entered a rather lively town with children running in the streets and people preforming.
"I like this place" Onix stated, her face pulsing with life. Within minutes they had seated themselves in a cafe where Lucy and Co ordered.
XxXxX
Memory sat in the corner of the cafe. Her maroon hair was suffocating her but she didn't dare remove the canary yellow bow that she'd placed in it.
Across from her, she heard the chatting of a foursome of girls. One was normally blonde whilst the others had unusual hair colours. Black, Blue and Pink. Odd, she thought.
The water felt smooth as it quenched her throat and drowned the bits of beach sand stuck there. Placing the glass on the table, she looked at the mission she had to conduct.
Anger coursed through her when she noticed the town's guild's name. It was their fault her parents, along with friends were dead. Without a second thought, she slammed the now empty glass on the table and stood up to leave.
At least that was plan.
XxXxXxX
Out of the corner of Princess' leaf green eyes, she caught a girl with maroon hair being stopped at the door from leaving. Excusing herself, faking about wanting to go to the bathroom, she stealthily crept up towards the two people arguing.
"It was just a glass of water!" The girl yelled. She couldn't have been older than 14, judging by her body shape and face.
"True, but you still have to pay the price. Do you know how hard it was to get that water?" The man in black asked.
"You live next to a freaking ocean!"
The man's face pinched into an angry snarl. He grabbed the girls wrist and brought her closer to him, her face was twisted in pain from how much it hurt.
Princess leaned in closer to hear what he said, "If you don't have the money. Then maybe you could pay with your body"
That was it. Not wasting a second, the Pinkette walked up so that both of their eyes wound of on her frame.
"What do you think you're doing?" She asked, lacing her voice with authority like a spider.
"Ms. Hanabusa" The man squeaked letting his grip loosen, "This girl refuses to pay for her meal and was about to leave" She cringed from the use of her last name.
Princess strode over to them and slapped his hand off of the girls, before putting her behind her back, "I think you must be mistaken"
"Pardon?"
"You heard me. This young girl was about to join our table and I requested that she bring me a blue parasol" Lying was easy to do. She'd gathered that after watching her parents for the 19 years of her life.
"I-I-" The man stuttered feeling as though he would be ripped to pieces from the glare he was receiving.
"I expect that because of your pho-pah, our meal will be free. Come dear, let's go back to our table. You can forget about my parasol"
After turning around with the 14 year olds arm in hers, she let out a small giggle.
XxXxX
Lucy focused on the returning figure of her friend, only to see her accompanying a younger girl.
"Who's this?" Anya asked pointing to the younger one.
"No clue" Princess replied, motioning the girl to sit next to at the six person table.
Onix being Onix decided it would be good idea to speak up, "She looks like a Jane doesn't she?"
"How can someone 'look like a Jane'?" Lucy questioned.
Onix simply shrugged, "You either got it, or you don't"
"Memory" The maroon haired girl said embarrassed at the people surrounding her.
"I'm sorry, what?" Anya stared into the orbs of cornflower blue that looked into hers.
"My name. It's Memory. Memory Utal"
"I told you she looked like a Memory" Onix said proudly, ignoring the looks of exasperation with a hint of amusement.
"Well, Memory. What are you doing here by your self?" Princess responded, she always loved girls who were younger than her. It made her feel like a big sister.
"I'm on business" She fished out a piece of paper that had the words WANTED written at the top. It was only then did the faces look familiar.
Memory's eyes widened along with everybody else.
