Crystals of the past

chapter 1: the town of rain

        I remember that day as if it happened yesterday. the clouds were dark, the sky roared as if the gods were angry, lighting colored the sky with its bright light and rain fell upon us in sheets. Even normal people didn't need the heightened senses to feel the electricity in the air. The enviorment had taken its toll on me over the past couple of days as the rain seemed to never stop.  It was hard to find a dry place to stay let alone any food. Needless to say I felt weak,hungry,hopeless,unloved and above all pathetic. You would think that after traveling for almost a year I would have found somewhere to stay, but sadly that was not my case. Being a freak had its disadvantages, after all who would want a freak in their home, a demon? The pain I've had to endure over that year ranged from mentally to physically something that no child should ever have to experience. I was at the peak of my breaking point. A ten year old could only handle so much a ten year old can handle so much after all. If fairy tail didn't turn out to be the guild i thought it was I don't know what i would do.

        I honestly didn't know how much longer I could last under my conditions, fairy tail could very well be the last guild i can even make it to. I had already traveled so far to get here and any money or food I had was gone.they were my last chance at a family, at friendship, of having a place I could call home. I've been to so many guild before trying to find somewhere to stay and had little to know luck everyplace I went there was people that despised me laughed at me and threw me out to rot. The search was wearing and long I was determined to find somewhere but after so long even a child's hope will fade.

        Walking through the rain for hours on end could not have been good for my health especially since I hadn't eaten very much over the past several days. I was lucky I had even made it to the outskirts of a town. Could it be magnolia? It was hard to tell there was so much rain surronding me. I could barely even see two feet in front of me! I was staring to shake badly and i could feel my body temperature start to heat up. 'Of course', I had though. 'It's so like me to get sick in a moment like this..' I could feel the sickness start to take over making me dizzy and weaker causing me to stagger in my footsteps. I could barely register anything around me.I hadn't even been aware that I had already made it half way through town.

        My eyelids were getting heavy with the need for sleep and it was becoming very tempting,trying to lure me to a deep slumber. But even with the body of  ten year old i had a mind much wiser then it should have been. With this knowledge I knew that if I were to sleep I may just not wake up. Even though my mind told my body to stay awake and keep going it had other plains for me. It was as if all the exertion I had been through the past couple of days came tumbling down on me at the same time causing me to collapse to the ground, completely sapped of any energy i had mustered before.

        So there I was splayed out in the middle of a random street of the town of magnolia, forcing myself to keep my eyes open. The rain whispered in my ears saying  sweet nothings and tempting me to close my eyes. It became so soothing and melodic and I was oh so tired. I gave into its and my bodys desire for some sort of rest. Slowly I closed my eyes watching the world around me slowly fade away. Before they could close completely I managed to see a flash of pink enter my line of sight seeming as if it was getting closer. As I closed my eyes I could make out the sound of someone yelling. I tried to focused my ears trying to make out what they were saying.

        My body may have numb from the cold rain but my other senses(minus sight and touch) were still in perfect working condition, well as good as it can be in this weather. I could hear the rain rushing by my ears as I strain to hear what the person i saw was saying. I could just make out them saying my name but everything else sounded distorted and washed away with the storm. my world was starting to fade away. The sounds, the scents, my conscience, everything was fading. I managed to open my eyes one last time only for the story clouds to be replaced with a head of pink hair and worried onyx eyes hovering over me. My last thoughts had been who was this person? How did they know my name? And why did they seem so familair like something from a dream? Perhaps a memory? As i thought these things everything faded to pitch black...
