MY HAPPY ENDING

Being fifteen, as well as a terrible mixture of curious and intelligent, Eos Cassava decided that since her parents wouldn't tell her about their families that she'd look it up herself. Now, though, she wished she hadn't; reading the articles on her grandmother's death and then her grandfather's suicide made her realize why her mother treasured family so much.

Then she was directed to links and articles about some criminal named Zeref, making her normal tan skin pale further, and she closed out of the internet browser before glancing over at Erza and Jellal who were doing the math homework. "Guys, did your parents tell you about this Zeref dude?" The pair shook their heads.

"Who?"

Eos quickly explained it, showing them proof via her laptop screen, and the kids decided they had to ask. They were fifteen, after all, and Eos could at least cite a family history project before noticing Erza and Jellal's parents mentioned in the article.

Jellal sighed. "If my mom gets mad at me I'm blaming you." The boy was basically her cousin, even if they weren't really related, but Eos and him didn't always get along.

It made her wrinkle her nose. "Fine, let's go." The library was closest to Eos' house, she knew her mom would be home by now with Artemis, and as they entered the home she spied her father's coat on the door hook.

"Mom, Dad, I'm home. Erza, Jellal, and I are doing homework together."

As they entered the dining room she saw her dad filling out a crossword puzzle. "Oh, we learned that today, that answer is Oedipus." The man pinched her side, playfully, and Eos sat beside him at the table as her friends took other seats.

"Welcome home, how was school?" Having a cop for a father basically ruined any chances of sneaking out, causing mischief, or getting a date; but Eos Cassava was a daddy's girl.

"It was good, we have a family history assignment though, I uh...found some interesting articles when I looked up Mama." Eos noticed her father's jaw tense, a sign that he was biting back some curse, and her little sister sat down at the table.

Artemis was a carbon copy of their mother, Eos was a female version of her dad, but neither one really felt any sort of way about it. In fact Artemis wasn't quite as innocent as her mother liked to believe, the pigtail sporting blond had a habit of breaking hearts in her Middle School, Eos only knew since Erza's little brother Galen had a crush on her and basically followed her around.

"I see, I suppose you have a lot of questions." Lucy Cassava was still gorgeous, Eos wanted to be as curvy as her mother had been, but she was also smarter than a lot of people gave her credit for.

Eos nodded and watched as her parents looked at each other. "We might as well explain it as a group, they'll all figure it out eventually." Erik hummed, a sound of agreement, and seemed to be sending some kind of mass text.

"Explain what?"

Jellal had the gist of things from the news article but now he was curious that it was being treated as a big issue.

"Just a crazy story, Jellal, but it's sad and painful through most of it."

Erza hummed, knowing that she'd been named after a friend of her mother's who had died, and the group of kids heard the incoming beeping of Erik's cell. He seemed to be counting the number of replies before picking up his phone to scroll through the answers.

"Come on, we're headed to Fairy Tail, bring your homework. Lucy, do you want to head over on your own?" The blond nodded, since she was waiting for Virgo to show up first, and as the group left the house Lucy smiled at the sound of Eos asking her father to drive the cruiser.

The blond looked at the photographs on the walls of the dining room, stopping on the picture of her parents, and then on the one of her with Wendy.

The laptop on the table was opened and she clicked into a Word Document.

Dear Mama,

It's been a long time since I've written you, hasn't it, and I'm sorry for that. Before I tell you everything I just want you to know that I'm finally able to sleep without nightmares, I don't hate myself anymore for letting Zoldeo touch me as a kid...and I'm sorry I never told you.

It started seventeen years ago, when I worked for Magnolia Weekly, I got assigned to interview a supposed "police psychic" named Erik Cassava. Who'd have thought he would end up marrying me? I certainly didn't.

Nor did I think I'd go on the strangest, most sad, scary, and painful journey of my life. But I don't regret it, any of it, you know. I'm not perfect, I never will be, but I've got my family and friends to help me where I falter. I hope that's what you wanted me to find, when you told me to to find my Light again, Mama.

I miss you.

So where was I? Right, the police psychic, we both thought the interview was bullshit but I think by then we were already too interested in each other.

I mean I look like you Mama, I was pretty damn cute.

Thank you for the follows, favs, support, and reviews everyone. Clean Slate is officially done. This has been a long journey, and I'll admit I fell off the train when I had to start doing wedding plans and all that insanity, but I refused to let this project stay incomplete.

Thank you again, for everything, and I hope that you enjoy this story enough to give it a fav now that it's done. If not that's okay too, I appreciate you guys at least reading it :)
