2 weeks have passed since Natsumi arrived at Fairy Tail. And while she has recovered from her injuries, Natsumi still hasn't recovered from her trauma. Screams from her parents and Acnologia's maniacal laughter plauged her nightmares as she kept reliving the horrid memory.

Watching her parents brutally murdered in cold blood at the hands of her uncle's sword has greatly traumatized her. And while the people of Fairy Tail took good care of her, she missed the warm hugs from her parents. She finally regained consciousness, and the first thing she saw was Wendy and Gajeel asleep and holding her hands.

Natsumi slowly sat up, and her shift in movement caused Wendy and Gajeel to wake up.

"Thank goodness you're finally awake! Are you alright, Natsumi?" Wendy asked. The symbol in Natsumi's eyes changed from Gemini to Aries in fear as she relived the traumatic memory that caused her to leave her parents and come to Fairy Tail.

She touched her emerald circlet and choker and could barely hold her tears in as the memory of her parents laying lifeless on the floor in their own blood flooded her mind.

(When Natsumi has the Aries symbol in her eyes, it means that she's frightened. )

(The circlet and choker were given to Natsumi by her mother and her father for her 5th birthday. )

"No. My mom and dad, gone. Both of them are dead! My uncle, Acnologia, murdered then in cold blod. I've never been so frightened in my life," Natsumi explained as tears welled up in her eyes.

Gajeel and Wendy looked at each other in horror as they connected the dots. King Igneel and Queen Celestia were dead, murdered in cold blood at the hands of Acnologia.

"Don't worry, Natsumi. We'll help you get over your trauma." Gajeel promised as he and Wendy left the infirmary so she could get dressed.

That seemed to make her calm down as the symbol changed from Aries back to Gemini. But then, she remembered that her dress was torn apart and she didn't have any other clothes to wear. That's when a one-sleeve coat on a hook next to her caught her attention.

It was just her size! She put the coat on and walked out of the infirmary and into the guild hall.  She scanned for the boy who wanted to help her get over her fear and rushed into his arms.

Gray saw Natsumi running up to him and then she gave him a huge hug. She must've heard his voice while she was unconscious.

"Well, it's nice to finally meet you.  Natsumi,  right? " Gray asked her gently. Natsumi nodded and even gave a small smile. It wasn't much,  but it was progress.

"GRAY!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THIS CHILD?!" Erza roared as she brought out one of her swords. "YOU'RE A WIZARD,  NOT A BABYSITTER!!!"

Natsumi caught sight of the sword, gained the Aries sign in her eyes,  and bolted out of the guild.

"Natsumi,  come back!" Gray shouted after the retreating girl, only to be ignored. Erza was confused,  but she didn't want a coward to be in her guild.

"Erza! Did you see how frightened you made her?! Her parents were murdered in cold blood at the hands of her uncle's sword! Right in front of her! She was traumatized by this,  and your sword will only make it worse! I'm going to go get her," Gray declared and raced out of the guild hall, leaving an extremely guilty Erza behind.

He found Natsumi sitting in the forest crying,  and immediately ran over to her. "It's okay,  Natsumi. Erza didn't know about your trauma." Gray explained stroking her hair.  Then, he remembered a song that his mother used to sing for him.

Natsumi was so captivated by the song,  she fell asleep.  Every time Gray sang that song, she always fell alseep. From then on, it was their special song.
