8. Homecoming
"So the Master of the guild is my dad?" Alexis's eyes widened as she stared at the four teens around her. They had made a campfire and decided to stay the night in the town. That was after they buried Ivar and helped others out of the demolished inn.
"Sure is." Nashi answered letting flames dance on her fingertips. "Hands down the scariest dude when he's angry." Storm hit Nashi on the head causing her flames to disappear.
"He's actually a chill guy." He said to Alexis. He threw the burnt tennis ball at her. "You also have a little brother, Raiden." Alexis' eyes widened as she ran her fingers over the ball.
"Don't forget your mom, Mirajane." Gale added as he took a pill from his medicine bag. "She has the same magic as you have."
Alexis breathed out in relief. She was glad she had someone had the same strange ability as her. Maybe her mom would know where the man in the tuxedo came from.
"What was I like before?" Alexis suddenly asked causing the three to immediately look away in discomfort. "What's the matter? Was I that bad?"
Nashi chuckled nervously. "You weren't that ba-"
"You were horrible." Hunter stated, not sugar coating at all. "You were cruel, manipulative and knew exactly what to say to make people despise you." Alexis looked down in shame.
"Well, thanks for the honesty." She said with a sigh. "Was I cruel to those two who attacked the inn? Is that why they're after me?"
Hunter looked up to the stars letting out a puff of air. "They're after you because you were a prodigy in magic. Probably even better than me. Probably." He admitted.
"That and you created this super dangerous spell called Demon's torment." Nashi added frowning. "You were quite the powerful wizard. Even if you were a bitc-" This time Gale hit Nashi on the head.
"What you created, if in the wrong hands, can ruin people's lives." Gale said. "We're here to take you home and protect you from anyone who wants to exploit that." He was now munching on bits of iron.
"I wonder how you even lost all of your memories." Storm wondered out aloud. "Maybe some sort of magic taboo when you created that spell."
"Why would you help me if I was so horrible?" Alexis questioned.
"You're our family, duhhhh." Nashi answered matter of factly. "Family is a forever thing."
The sides of Alexis's lips curled into a smile. She suddenly jolted to her feet and gave everyone a big group hug. Gale grunted.
"You are completely different from before." He pointed out trying to pry himself from her bear hug. "You still have that killer grip strength though."
"I promise I won't be like I was before." Alexis Said cheerfully.
"Mavis, let go of me already!" Hunter shouted angrily. It seemed like he didn't like being hugged. Alexis laughed letting go of everyone.
"You're so cute when you're angry." Alexis teased with a grin. Hunter rolled his eyes in annoyance and retreated to his sleeping area.
"Everyone go to sleep." He ordered. Everyone obeyed immediately.
"It's been a long journey, glad to finally have some shut eye." Nashi yawned snuggling herself in her blanket with a pleased smile.
"You better not snore, flame brain." Storm growled at the fire dragon slayer. "I will freeze you if I wake up from your loud snoring like last time we were out."
"Pft, I'll do whatever the hell I want, Stripper!" Nashi shouted poking her tongue at Storm.
"Both of you are so annoying. Can't you just go to sleep without having to argue." Gale snarled in annoyance. "I'll beat both of you up if you don't stop."
"How are you going to attack us if you can't even move, Metal Face!" Storm retorted.
"Don't call him Metal Face, Stripper!" Nashi yelled at Storm. "I'll burn your blankets!"
Suddenly the three were in a heated argument.
"I swear if I hear one of you make a single sound, I will end you." Hunter barked. Silence fell upon the group. That was until Alexis burst out laughing.
"I can already tell I'm going to love being with you guys."

A few days later...
--------------
"Luke! Raiden! You better come and fight me!" Rose shouted a sword clenched tightly into her hands. She went around the guild terrorising people for the boys' whereabouts.
Little did she know that they, Raiden and Luke along with Lily Redfox, were hiding in the outside high in a tree.
"You know she's going to kill you both when she finds you." Lily said softly with a worried expression on her face.
Luke grinned; his arms crossed over his chest. "Pft, let her try. Me and Raiden'll beat her again." He said with his chin held high.
"That's the truth." Raiden agreed smugly. "I raided the guild fridge and look what I have guys." Raiden revealed a strawberry cake causing the other two to widen their eyes.
"That's Rose's!" Lily exclaimed. "If you eat it, you're both gonna get it ten times worse."
"Geez, Lily, stop being a killjoy." Luke puffed his cheeks before grabbing some of the cake with his hand and stuffing it on his face. Lily gasped. "I live on the edge!" Luke shouted happily.
"Lily! Cmon have some. I got it for the three of us." Raiden reasoned with a fake pout. "We'll protect you if Rose finds out!"
Lily's cheeks turned a tint of pink as she looked at the white haired boy. She frowned.
"Fine." She grabbed some and ate it causing her to giggle. "Yum!"
Raiden was about to take a bite when he smelled something. He raised his nose into the air.
"Hunter and the others are back." He announced to the other two. As if on cue, a group of teens started to approached.
"I wonder what Master Laxus is gonna do. to us." Nashi said squirming with fear. "I hate lightning."
"Don't worry, I'll handle it." Hunter assured. "We'll tell him how we got there just in time before she was attac-"
"SNEAK ATTACK!" Suddenly Luke and Lily pounced on their siblings.
"GALE!" Lily shouted happily hugging her brothers head.
"Lily, get off my face!" Gale grunted.
"PINK HEADED FREAK." Luke shouted strangling his sister.
"You little devil child!" Nashi stuttered trying to pry the boy off her.
"RAIDEN! HIT THEM WITH THE CAKE!" Luke signalled but nothing happened. Luke stopped strangling his sister for a moment looking for his friend. "Raiden?"
"THERE YOU BRATS ARE!" Rose yelled as she emerged from the guild running towards the group.
She stopped in her tracks when she saw Raiden staring up at a blonde haired girl, a plate on cake in his hands. There was silence.
"I'm guessing you're Raiden." Alexis crouched down in front him with a sweet smile on her face. Raiden's eyes just stared into hers as he nodded like a robot. "I have something that belongs to you." She said. Alexis turned around and rummaged through her bag pulling out the half burnt tennis ball.
Raiden's eyes widened. He then looked at Storm who nodded at him in reassurance.
"She's the real deal, buddy." Storm said with a smile.
"But she's wearing a dress and smiling!" Raiden argued. Storm just shrugged causing the boy to look at the ground defeated. Raiden then looked back to Alexis. "You big dummy! Don't leave like that ever again." He dropped the cake on the ground and jumped into his sister's arms. Alexis giggled wrapped her arms tightly around him.
"What the hell are you brats doing now?" A manly voice said. Alexis raised her eyes to see a large blonde haired man with a lightning scar on his eye. He caught her gaze and his eyes widened. Alexis slowly let go of Raiden rising to her feet.
"Hunter... that's him, isn't it." She rasped to the red haired boy. "That's my dad."
"Let's see how this goes." Hunter muttered under his breath as Laxus hurriedly approached with large strides. The Master of Fairy Tail was not happy. Something made the teens think they were in for the punishment of their lives.
