Hatred, fear, revenge. These are the things that kept me going. These feelings are what made me never give up. I was beaten, tortured, and abused all for information that I could never give away. I lived through it with the promise to myself that I would get revenge. I would hurt those who hurt me. I am Aria Black and this is my story.

I was walking through the streets of Magnolia. I had just gotten off the train and was on my way to a famous wizard guild, Fairy Tail. My long black hair flowed down my back and reached my waist. My silver eyes sparkled with anticipation. I had dark skinny jeans on with a chain hanging on the side. I had black boots and a leather jacket as well.

I had come a long way and was tired, but i didn't want to wait any longer. I was ready to join a guild and I had found the perfect one. I walked up to the big doors that held my future and walked inside. There were so many people smiling and laughing. It seemed like everyone was having a good time. Then I don't know how it happened, but a giant fight started.

I was almost hit by a chair as I tried to make my way through the mess. I finally made it to a counter with a normal looking girl behind it She had long white hair and was smiling brightly. "excuse me" she turned when I spoke. "yes? what can I help you with?"

"I was hoping I could join this guild." I was a little worried about what she would say. "Oh of course! I'm Mirajane, I'll take you to see the master." She put down the glass she was drying and walked over to me. "Thanks, I'm Aria." I turned and followed her. She took me to a room and knocked on the door. "Come in" I heard a voice call from inside. Mirajane opened the door and we stepped inside. There was a small man sitting behind a desk looking through paper work. "Hello master this is Aria and she would like to join the guild"

The man looked up "Oh hello I am master Makarov. Welcome" "Thanks so how do I join?" I asked. "Well will you promise to never betray this guild?" He looked really serious. "Of course." I replied "Everyone here is family never forget that. Mira do you have the stamp?" he turned to Mirajane "yes master, its right here" she pulls out a guild stamp. "where do you want it?" she turns to me and asks. "My hand please" she takes the stamp and puts it on the back of my right hand. It comes out black and silver, just my colors. "Thanks Mira" I hold up my hand and look at the stamp. "no problem. lets go see the rest of the guild." she turns and walks out and I follow.

We get back to the bar and Mira gets to work. A blonde girl who seemed really peppy came up and ordered a strawberry milkshake. She then turned to me and said "I'm Lucy. What's your name?" "I'm Aria I just joined the guild" she smiled at me and said she'd take me to see the rest of her team.

She drank her milkshake and brought me over to a strange group of people. "This is Erza, Gray, Natsu, and Happy" Natsu and Gray were fighting, but were stopped by Erza. They turned toward us when Lucy introduced them. "Guys this is Aria she just joined the guild today." "Nice to meet you" said Gray "Aye" Happy agreed. "Glad you joined our guild" Erza said. "Yeah welcome" said Natsu. "It's nice to meet you all I'm Aria Black and I use teleportation magic." "Cool!" Lucy said turning to me looking interested. They all told me the magic they used and I stayed and talked with them. Well I didn't really talk much, but I listened.

They seemed to get along well, almost like a family. I sighed and turned to look at the others in the guild. Everyone seemed close. I wish I could be that close with others, but who knows maybe I can be if I stay here.

After a while I told them I had to go and headed out to find an apartment. I found a great place for a good price. So I got it and moved my stuff in. I flopped down on my bed and grabbed my locket and opened it. "I joined a guild today Mom, Dad. I miss you guys, but don't worry I think I'm gonna be OK now" I closed the locket and changed into sweatpants and a tank top. I shut the light off and crawled into bed.

Alright that's the first chapter of my new story Damaged! I know it's short, but I wanted to get it out. I'll try to make them longer as I go. I know I haven't been on in forever, but my computer broke and i finally managed to get a new one. For those of you who read my other stories I have 2 chapters written for Twin Assassins and am working on one for A Pirate's Life For Me. I have to type up the ones for Twin Assassins, but it is written in my notebook. So hopefully those will be out soon, but no promises. This story is one I've been wanting to write, but i haven't been able to find a good way to do it. I'm still not sure if I like this chapter as much as I want to, but it's done. Please leave a review and tell me what you think.
