Jessie Celestia (A Sting Eucliffe x OC FanFic)

Jessie and Sabertooth

~Jessie's P.O.V.~

"Where've you been?" Natsu smirked, an arm wrapped around my shoulder.

"What've you been doing all these years?" Gray asked, one of his signature rare cool smiles on his face.

"Why did you come back?" Erza asked bluntly with a raised eyebrow.

"Please, please, one at a time!" I chuckled, taking a sip of my bottle of beer as I was being bombarded with too many questions. We were at a bar near my old home, Fairy Hills.

"Who is she?" I heard the blonde mage, who I was told was named Lucy, ask to Natsu.

"She's a Fairy Tail mage. She left 1--er--8 years ago to go back to her old guild," he answered unintentionally loudly. I roll my eyes and snicker, my body starting to warm up from the alcohol.

"What did you do while you were away?" Erza inquired. I took a sip of my sake.

"Visited different guilds, like Blue Pegasus, Mermaid Heel, Lamia Scale," I answer, glancing and smirking at Gray who looked away at the mention of Lamia Scale, "and my parent's guild, Sabertooth." I suddenly clap my hands on my mouth. Damnit! That slipped out of my mouth! Stupid alcohol... I glare at the bottle of sake in my hand, using every word in my colorful language towards it in my head.  Natsu and Gray choked on air while Erza and Lucy's eyes grew wide.

"Sabertooth is your parent's guild!?" they all yelled at me in unison. I let out a sigh and mumble curses under my breath. God damnit.

"Why didn't you tell us?!" Erza asked sternly.

"How could your parents make that kind of guild?!" Natsu growled.

"Why didn't you tell us earlier?" Gray frowned. I looked down to the floor, my bangs now hanging over my left eye as well as my right eye. Lexi, who had been drinking and watching the scene unfold, stood in between of me and Natsu.

"S-she didn't say Sabertooth!" Lexi slurred, her breath stinking of alcohol, which wasn't surprising as there was an empty bottle of beer in her right paw. I stopped her there. "She, uh.." 

"It's alright Lexi, I'll tell them.." I forced a smile on my face, heat creeping in the back of my eyes.  They noticed that I was holding back tears and quickly scrambled to apologize.

"Y-you don't have to explain if you don't want to.." Lucy stammered. I smiled sadly at her. I've only just met her, but she's really nice. No wonder Natsu acts all weird around her.

"That's very nice of you, but I...I do need to tell you."

~❧Flashback: 8 years ago❧~

"So this is Sabertooth..." I said as I saw the emblem. Master made me erase the guild mark of Fairy Tail, insisting that I go find my own. I look at the guild I haven't been to for 7 years. Hell, I couldn't even remember if I had actually been to the guild at all.. "I'm still not too sure about this Lexi.." I mumble.

"Whatcha talking about? We've already walked here, so let's go in!" We walked towards the guild. I slowly opened its doors.

"Um...hello?" I said hesitantly. All eyes went on me, the 11 year old girl coming into a mage guild. "Um..I'm looking for my father..." A tall, slim man with brown hair pushed his way towards me. His eyes sparkled an emerald green, and they were filled with disbelief.

"Jessie? Is that...you?" the man whispered. For a moment I studied him. I don't remember him that well, considering I was only 3 when I last saw him, but his eyes reflected that he wasn't lying.
