Chapter 18
Hey guys! I'm super sorry for not using any OCs so far, but I'm having a hard time thinking of ways to fit them in. Maybe after I get all of my ideas out in this, and probably the next book, I can write a small book afterwards where all of the OCs come into play? I dunno, but I'll do my best.
< (Y/N)'s POV >
It's been a few weeks now, everything's back to normal, well... Mostly. Gray has been hanging around me more, and now if he even smiles because of me I get attacked by Juvia, which, is NOT fun.
AT.
ALL.
THOSE WATER SLICERS HURT DAMMIT!
Uh, anyways...
Gray and I have become closer, Laxus has been less of a dick-head, Gajeel's warmed up to me a bit, and we now get the occasional visit from Sting, which is always fun. Sting and Natsu always end up fighting, Gray trys to step in, but gets caught in the fray, and I've destroyed more than one table because it gets to the point where I have to summon a dragon to stop their stupidity.
Gajeel instigates a lot of things, to which Levy just smacks his arm disapprovingly, frowning. He just has that stupid grin on his face, and Laxus occasionally comes down from the second floor and actually interacts with the guild a bit more. It's nice to see Laxus and the Thunder Legion hanging around the guild more, well, attached to Laxus' hip, but still out here.
The guild's grown to be it's usual, rowdy self, but something still seems out of place. Maybe it's because we haven't a clue where Lucy or Erza are, for Levy suddenly showed up one day, Gajeel carrying her in his arms with bruises and cuts all over his body. Levy remembered nothing from when she was gone, and it's thrown me into a rut. I miss Erza, her silencing Natsu and Gray was probably my favorite thing she did. I miss Lucy, despite not being all that close to her, because she was always there when you needed her.
Ugh, why can't we live a normal- Well, normal as we can get- life? It's really aggravating. Can't we all just-
CRASH!!
The doors to the guild crashed open, and Rogue and Sting stood there, Rogue's eyes quickly brushing over everyone before landing on me,"Come with us. Quickly. We think we have news of where your friends are."
I shot out of my seat,"What?! How?!"
"No time. We need to go, now." Sting said, looking more serious than I ever remember him.
Nodding, I started off, and I heard Natsu run up behind me,"What's going on?!" He said, obvious concern written on his face as he stared between everyone.
"We think we know where Lucy and Erza are. Come, quickly." Rogue said briefly, and the Twin Dragons turned and ran out of the guild.
I followed, zero hesitation in my stride as I ran, my feet feeling like they were floating above the ground. I heard Natsu behind me, and yelled up to Sting,"Where did you guys find the information?"
"Some chick showed up at our guild. Lia, or something."
"That's my best friend. Where is she now?"
"Quatro Cerberus. She said she was going to 'attack the drunken fucker who was there'."
Laughing, I nodded, but realized he couldn't see it and yelled up,"That's normal! She's always like that!"
Sting laughed, and I skidded to a stop, throwing a hand forward and concentrating. Wind and rain swirled around me, before forming a ball which shot at the ground, and a dragon appeared.
"Nani?" The Dragon asked, being small and cute. She basically looked like a seahorse, but with wings and small lil' fangs.
"Hey Tsu! Listen, I need you to become big and strong to carry us all to Quatro Ceberus. Could you please?"
"Nani!" She said happily, before growing in size. She grew up, and looked like she had grown years, basically like an adult,"Nan." She said, voice suddenly deeper and more mature. She sounded like a twenty-year-old woman, which was impressive everytime she "matured".
Her wings grew larger, and small barbs grew on the edge of them. She hovered over the ground sightly, and I started to climb up her back, petting her seahorse-like head,"C'mon guys!" I called, waving my hands for them to come up.
Eventually, we were all loaded onto Tsu, and she started off, first in the air, then diving into the water, moving faster this way. When she brought us as close as she could, Tsu let us off onto solid ground, and became small and adorable again,"Nani ni!" She chirped, proud of herself before disappearing into that small ball of wind and rain and smashing into my chest, merging in my soul.
Turning around, I looked up the cliff gravely, my eyes landing on a figure behind Natsu. They saw me staring, and suddenly launched at Natsu, kicking a booted foot at an oblivious Natsu. Eyes widening briefly, I tackled Natsu out of the way, and threw down a sparking soul, Electrix being summoned into action quickly,"Hah! You are the witch I'm looking for! Glad you fell straight into my claws." A gruff, but feminine voice yelled, and I finally made out the figure.
She, suprisingly, looked a lot like Gajeel, except a lot crueler. Her dark red eyes looked like blood, her jeans were ripped, she wore a black tank top, and had multiple piercings, almost all in the same spots at Gajeel. She had heeled combat boots on, and tattered fingerless gloves. Her wild black hair was what sealed the deal, well, in my mind.
Her laugh was so demonic, I almost didn't believe my own train of thought as she fought Electrix tooth and claw. Was she even human? I shook my head quickly, and forced Electrix back into a soul and into me, wincing in the pain it delivered,"What do you want? And who even are you?"
Her eyes glittered,"You'll find out another time. Now, you're coming with me!" She lept at me like a wild animal, eyes reflecting that thought.
My instincts told me to "fight back, look rad in front of the guys- OH GOD SHE BARED HER TEETH AT ME RUN!!!!!"
Yeah. Fun train of thought, I must admit.
I jumped back, and stiffened my right arm, forcing all of my willpower to that one spot, "Monstrum Gladium, Appereo!*" I chanted, and a sword appeared in my hand. My sword specially designed for me, it had (F/C) tape wrapping around the silver hilt, and a black and red, almost tye-dye blade.
Wielding this alone made me dizzy, but when I brought it up, ready to swing, everything slowed, and a surge of power went through me. That made it all worth it.
As the world around me moved at a crawl, I parried the girl's tackle at me, and watched as the world sped up again and she launched into the ground from the pure power I was exerting. She growled, and I stared her down, the blade in my hand ready to go after her if need be. She gave an animalistic grin, and lept at me, while my blade came up to defend...
