Here's the next chapter!
Sorry it's so short!
I wanted to ask if I should make this 1st person, or keep it 3rd person, that's why I didn't make any more.
Aurea woke up, surrounded by ashes. She slowly sat up, a small pain in the back of her head. Sadly, with that pain, came the memories of what had happened just mere hours ago.
"Mom?" she called out, hoping there was some way her mother had survived, but, sadly, no response came. "Daddy?" she cries, tears starting to trail down her cheeks.
She looked upwards, and found that the clouds had disappeared, and only a gray sky remained above her. She looked around everywhere. Calling out to anyone that may be around, but it was no use. Everyone was gone. Everyone. Not even the old man who lived across the street was in his wreck of a home.
Everything in the town was either broken, or burnt down to ashes. Not even the small cupboard Aurea found sanctuary in was completely intact. Aurea knew that no one could've survived something that had done all this. They were all dead, her neighbors, her parents, and even her grandmother had fallen to this dark magic. She had no true family. But she didn't lose hope. She had a family, and she would find it; in Fairy Tail.
She lifted the symbol on her necklace up to her face, watching how it shimmered in her grip. She clasped it tighter, and held it like a lifeline. No, it was a lifeline, and she would follow it. She remembered how her grandmother had told her about a magic guild, which Aurea now knew as Fairy Tail, and her grandmother found a true family in it. She remembered how her grandmother spoke of a man that captured her heart, and how that heart broke in two when she had to leave the guild. The man's name was Makarov, and Aurea's grandmother loved him with all her heart. She never said why she left, but it was apparently really bad. Grandma Selena never truly loved any other man, and gained Aurea's mother as a child by adoption.
Aurea wondered if Makarov was still there, in the guild, and if he would remember her grandmother that loved him so much. That guild had been Grandma Selena's home, her family, and just like many others in their lives; she left the home to start a new one. The sad thing was, this time, she never went back.
Even though she left, that guild cared for Grandma Selena, and that only encouraged Aurea that she was meant to go there. Her mother had told her to follow the necklace, and that was just what she was going to do.
Before she left the town, Aurea looked for anything that may help her on the journey. She found a half-burnt loaf of bread, a small water casket, and a filthy satchel to carry it all in. She then gathered up as much as she could, and made her own makeshift graves for her parents. They weren't much, but they were something. They were two wooden planks side-by-side with polished, as much as possible, stones around them and a message written in charcoal by Aurea herself.
Dad and Mom it said.

Two very special people who loved and cared for a single daughter.
R.I.P.
She wished she could do more, but that was all she knew how to do. With a single tear escaping her eye, she left the broken town, not looking back; for fear, she wouldn't be able to go on.
