Fairytail X Water Dragon Slayer Child reader

While out on a mission Natsu, Lucy and Happy find a eight year old kid wandering the streets. She waled around asking people for food, before heading back down an alley with no one paying any attention to her. Natsu and Lucy walked over to her and offered to get her food, she agreed and followed them to a restaurant where people just stared at her. Why was she alone? Why did everyone look at her like she was a monster?
