~~~ Three years later (Miku is now about 9) ~~~

Miku's POV:

I yawned and stretched, sitting up in the tree I was sitting in. It was maybe around 12 in the afternoon and there was a slight breeze. I guess I should sum things up. I've been living in these woods for about two years, stealing food from a near by city called Magnolia, or hunting food from the forest. I've also been training myself with my magic. Not easy alone, but I do my best. I've also learned about guilds and wizards while I was in Magnolia. Apparently, a magic guild is where a bunch on magic users 'team up' and become a family! And a wizard is someone who can use magic... Or something like that... I've also learned about dark guilds. I'm assuming I was captured by a dark guild when I was little and experimented on.

"I'm suuuuper hungry..." I grumbled, rubbing my stomach. My stomach growled loudly in response. "Yeah, I hear ya. It's been like, what? Two and a half, three days since we've had a good meal?" My stomach growled again, making me laugh.

"Yeah. I know. We'll go into town today and steal ourselves the bestest meal!" I cheered, standing up on the branch I was sitting on. My stomach made a happier sounding growl before quieting down, making me laugh some more. I jumped down from the tree I was in and began wandering around through the forest.

Once I got to Magnolia, I closed my left eye and began looking around for a possible victim. Wandering around aimlessly, I noticed a man wearing a helmet. He had these flying, wooden things floating around his head and he was standing with three other people. A guy with long green hair, a guy with spiky yellow hair, and a woman with long brown hair. The guy with the helmet was carrying a bag with some edibal looking stuff sticking out of it. I grinned happily.

"Woah! What is that stuff?" I asked myself quietly, weaving around people on the busy streets as I made my way towards the group. I stopped walking right behind the man and glanced around nervously before reaching into his bag and grabbing the edible looking stuff before slowly blending back in with the crowd. I grinned secretly and held the food tightly as a hand grabbed my arm, pulling me back towards the group. The man with spiky blonde hair held me off the ground by my arm. I squirmed around helplessly, attempting to kick the man.

"What do you think your doing?" The man asked.

"Trying to get out of your grip of course! What does it look like?" I asked, squirming around some more.

"Hey! That's my candy!" The man with the helmet exclaimed, prying the food from my hands. I stopped squirming and tilted my head in confusion.

"Candy? What's that? Can you eat it?" I asked.

"Oh my! You've never had candy before?" The woman asked, taking me from the blonde's grip.

"Nope! What is it? Does it taste good?" I asked.

"Most candy is very sweet." The green haired man stated.

"Sweet?" I asked.

"This kid is annoying..." The blonde grumbled before walking off. "Come on." The green haired man began walking away as well. The woman placed me back on the ground. I looked up at her.

"Where are you guys going?" 

"To our guild hall. Fairy Tail!" The man with the helmet said.

"Fairy Tail! Fairy Tail!" The flying wooden things chanted.

"A guild? Like, a magic wizard family?"

"Yeah. Like a family." The woman said, smiling softly.

"I've never had a family... That I can remember at least..." I said, trailing off near the end.

"How old are you sweetie?" The woman asked.

"Uhh... About nine... Why?" The woman gasped quietly before noticing my clothing. She gasped again.

"Oh my! Where are your parents? Don't they know how to raise a child?!" She asked.

"Parents? What are those? Can I eat them?" I asked. The man chuckled.

"This kid's funny." He said. I grinned, looking up at him.

"Thanks! I think..." The man bent down to my height.

"Hey kid, can you use magic?" I nodded.

"Yup! I'm a Galaxy Demon Dragon Slayer!" I replied. The man picked me up and began dragging the woman behind him as he jogged to catch up with the blonde.

"Well, that settles that..." He stated, the flying wooden things coping some of his words a couple times.

After a couple minuets of walking, we made it to the really pretty building. There was a nice sign in the front of it with red letters.

"Where are we?" I asked, looking around.

"Tch, she's still here?" The blonde asked. "Whatever. This is Fairy Tail."

"Your family right?"

"Of sorts..." The blonde muttered before opening the large doors and walking in. Inside, tables were being thrown, people were drinking from large mugs and lots of people were chatting happily. I wiggled out of the helmet guy's grip and held onto his leg nervously. The four walked in and the helmet guy brought me towards a short old man.

"Hey Gramps. We found this little girl." He said.

"Girl! Girl! Girl!" I peeked out from around the man's leg and looked up at the old man.

"Hi!" The old man smiled and jumped off the counter, standing in front of me. He was about a head taller then me. I let go of the helmet guy's leg and he walked back towards his group.

"Hello there child. What's brought you to Fairy Tail?" The old man asked.

"The pretty lady over there said it was like a family!" I replied happily, pointing at the woman with brown hair. "Is that true?" The old man chuckled, nodding.

"Yes. In Fairy Tail, we treat everyone like family."

"Can I join? Pleeeeeease?" I begged, tugging on his sleeve.

"How old are you child?"

"I'm about nine! I think..."

"Can you use magic?"

"Yup! I'm a Galaxy Demon Dragon Slayer!" The old man's face lit up as he jumped onto the counter again, raising one of the large mugs.

"LETS WELCOME OUR NEWEST GUILD MEMBER!!!" He yelled. The guild burst into loud cheers. The old man grabbed a weird looking thing and jumped back down to me. "Where do you want your guild mark?" He asked.

"Uhh... What's that? Does it hurt?"

"No. It's a magical stamp that shows that your part of this family." The old man explained.

"Ohhhhhhh.... I don't get it, but it sounds cool!" I cheered before pointing to the area right below my right shoulder. The old man put the machine there and a bunch of sparkles came from it. Once he pulled away, I looked at my shoulder to see a purple design.

"Woah! It looks so cool!" I cheered, tackling the old man. "Thanks Gramps!"
