Walking through the forest she turns to find a dark haired boy, Rissy watches as he raises his hands causing pieces of the ground to levitate, he then threw his hands forward and the ground pieces follow the motion, aiming straight for a group of trees.

"Stop!" Rissy shouted as she placed her hands in front of her, causing the grass beneath their feet to rapidly grow, trapping the ground pieces before they could hit the trees.

The boy gasps then turns to face her.

"Why did you do that!?" He exclaimed, his arms wildly flailing about.

Rissy stomps towards him, then folds her arms over her chest.

"you were going to hurt them!" She shouted

The boy's eyes widen

"Hurt who?"

Rissy points to the group of trees that were in his line of fire.

"They're just trees..."the boy shrugs, earning himself a shove from Rissy.

"They have feelings too!" She snaps.

"They're not even alive!" The boy hisses, causing Rissy to growl.

She instantly raises her hands causing the trees branches to grow, the boy stares at the display causing a grin to spread over Rissy's face, as she sends the growing branches his way, trapping his legs and sending him dangling in the air.

"How's that for not alive?" Rissy laughs, causing the boy to growl.

He raises his hands causing the ground to shake, Rissy loses her footing and falls over, causing the boy laughs.

"It's not funny!" Rissy growls as she waves her arms in a low arc, causing the branches to go back to their original size and the boy drops to the ground with a thud.

The boy gets up,, dusting himself off of dust and leaves, he then walks towards Rissy a smile on his face.

"You're quite strong you know..." He sighed.

She nods in agreement

"So are you..." She said a grin on her face.

She reaches out her hand to the boy, who just stares at as if something is going to happen.

"You're meant to shake it, rock boy!" she exclaimed

The boy's mouth forms an 'o' shape, causing Rissy to smile.

"Clarissa, but call me Rissy" She said as the boy shakes her hand.

"Elijah" Was all he said, causing Rissy to smile.

She felt as if all the muscles in her body were on fire, as she tried to move her body screamed with pain, slowly opening her eyes Rissy found her brother and the rest of her nakama staring at her.

Lucy, Levy and Wendy wore the same watery smiles however Erza and her brother had a look of concern on their faces, and his usual toothy grin replaced with an unfamiliar scowl.

"Rissy-Chan!" Lavender shouted as she barrelled into her chest, knocking the breath out of her.

Rissy smiled down at her exceed, wrapping her arms around her in the process.

"How are feeling?" Wendy asked as she took a seat on the vacant chair, next to her bed.

Rissy sat up, slightly wincing.

"Like a million jewels...!" She said, a toothy grin spread across her face.

"Rissy-Chan, I'm so glad you're okay!" Lavender wailed, her tears threatening to drench Rissy's shirt.

"Oh, cat, I'm fine and you can't get rid of me that easily!" She exclaimed, causing the lilac exceed's sobs to come to an abrupt end.

She turned to her brother who had been very quiet, judging from his expression it looked as if he was itching to say something, to ask something only it looked as if something was holding him back.

"Natsu...?" Rissy asked.

Natsu turned to face her, Rissy knew what he wanted to know, knew what everyone wanted to know; what was she hiding?

She placed Lavender on her lap and turned her so she was facing her, the small exceed looked up at her partner, wide eyes watering and brows raised. Rissy hated lying, especially to her

"I 'm sorry, I've been hiding the truth but now is the time to come clean..." She said, eyes averted to the ground.

"Rissy-Chan...?" Lavender asked as she placed a paw on Rissy's clenched fists.

"Sorry, Lavender..." She whispered the small exceed opened her mouth to speak again, only Charle stopped her with a shake of her head.

Rissy suddenly stood up, the Fairy Tail mages staring at her, wondering what she was about to do next.

She didn't look them in the eye; she didn't dare to look them in the eye.

She started to fiddle with the hem of her top, and instantly the mages focus went straight to her hands, wondering what lay beneath, her eyes starting to fill up with tears, she knew that this was it, this was the moment of truth and after taking a deep breath she lifted her top halfway, revealing the scar.

"W-what is that?" Lucy asked, breaking the intense silence.

Natsu noticed that Rissy still had her head lowered, as if ashamed of what she had done.

Looking closer at the scar on her skin, it took the appearance of a three head dragon; looking even closer, it took the appearance of an insignia.

Rissy spoke up, slowly placing her top back over the scar, however her eyes were still lowered as if she couldn't bare to look at them, couldn't bare to look at him.

"It was" She put emphasis on that part "The insignia of Draco Fire..."

"Our old guild?" Lavender asked confused "Why would you want to get rid of their insignia?"

Rissy bit her lip, and lowered her head, her bangs covering her eyes and shadowing her face.

"Because..." she started, her voice low "They're a dark guild"

Lavander just stared at her as if Rissy had just told her the sun wouldn't rise.

"Rissy-Chan, so you've been lying to me...?" the small exceed asks, eyes watering

Rissy opened her mouth to speak but no words came out.

"I thought they were good people..." She whispered her voice barely audible.

Lavender opened her mouth to say something, she had clear anger and disappointment written on her face, however Erza placed hand on the small exceed.

"Sorry..." Rissy whispered, her bangs covering her face, as if shielding her from looking any of them in the eye.

As if sensing the need to be alone with his sister, Erza gestured for the rest of the mages to leave, Lavender hesitated, turning back towards Rissy, wanting to say something more only was pulled away by Happy who knew that the siblings needed to be alone.

Once the door slammed shut, Rissy sat back on the infirmary bed with a sigh, wiping her face with the hem of her top.

"Do you hate me...?" She asked as she turned to face him, eyes red and puffy from the tears.

Natsu shook his head, how could have he hate her; like himself she was orphaned, the only parent she ever knew had abandoned her, so it was likely that when a guild came offering her something she craved she would take it, without realising who they really were.

"Course not..." He said a toothy grin spread across his face, causing his sister to give a soft smile.

"It wasn't supposed to happen like this..." She sighed as she once again lowered her gaze to the ground.

"Funny how things don't turn out how we want" He grinned

"Yeah..." she said sadly, her head lowered once more

"Why didn't you tell Lavender?" Natsu asked, causing Rissy to turn to face him.

"That we were part of a dark guild?"

Natsu nodded

"I wanted her to be happy, to be honest I made a stupid mistake, since she now hates me..." She sighed

Natsu wanted to reassure his sister that Lavender could never hate her however voices from the other side of the door distracted him.

"Rissy-Chan, you did the wrong thing for the right reasons!" A voice shouted through the closed door both Natsu and Rissy instantly realised that it was Lavender's; obviously the little exceed didn't understand the meaning of the word 'alone'.

"Lavender!" Happy hissed from outside of the door "They're not supposed to know that we're listening!"

Lavender gasped loudly as if just realising what she had done.

"Lets go before Erza catches us!" Happy whispered loudly

"Sorry, Rissy-Chan..." Lavender shouted "don't worry I could never hate you"

Rissy smiled, she opened her mouth to speak, to say more, however the silence from outside the door told her that both Happy and Lavender had gone; most likely to avoid trouble with Erza.

She turned to look back at her brother, even though she only recently just met him, she felt as if they had kown each other for much

"Natsu I did some things back in Draco Fire" Rissy said while she fiddled with the hem of her shirt once more.

"Rissy, I..." Natsu started, only to be stopped by Rissy sadly shaking her head.

"Let me finish, I need to do this..." She said, causing Natsu to nod.

"I um...wasn't the nicest person, I would use my magic to hurt people, I mean really hurt them..." She stopped to look at her brother, half expecting him to turn away with disgust, however he just sat there and listened.

"It wasn't because I wanted to, it was because I had to, I felt like I owed them, they took me in, and then raised me...I was forever in their debt"

Once she had finished she sat in silence, slowly fidgeting with her hands in order to avoid the eye contact with her brother.

"Rissy..." Natsu said, he was going t tell her that he didn't care if she was a member of a dark guild or that she hurt people, that was then and at least now, the Rissy that he knew was using her magic for good, the Rissy he knew was a good person.

However Rissy closed her eyes, silent tears falling down her face.

"I'm sorry, Natsu...!" Rissy sobbed, eyes closed while the tears slowly fell down her face.

"It's alright, Rissy..." Natsu whispered as he placed an arm around her shoulder.

She wiped away the remaining tears with the back of her hand, looking up at her brother with a watery smile.

"eww, I look like a mess" She laughed as she rubbed at her eyes.

Standing up she turned to give him another smile, only this one was genuine and caused her dark eyes to brighten, Natsu came to the conclusion that this smile was rare.

"Let's go back down to the guild!" She exclaimed, practically skipping out the room, Natsu followed with a smile, internally making a promise to himself to ensure that he saw his sister smile that genuine smile once more.
