~ Memories (With each chapter is a different person's memory of Ivory. I'm not sure about the order they will go, but it'll only be those she grows close to as well as the members of Fairy Tail)
~ Thoughts
My Name is Lucy Heartfilia and I'm a Fairy Tail wizard. Everything was going well, but that changed almost instantly. Nothing could've prepared us for what was to come. It was a beautiful spring morning, I had just locked up my apartment before heading to the guild for a job. It was this same morning that I found a young girl covered in blood laying in the middle of the walk way.
"Oh my! Are you okay?" I asked, shaking her body. I begun to look around for whoever could have done this to her, but found no one. My eyes shifted back to the girl in my arms. She had such pale skin that the vibrant red stuck out. Silver waves cascaded to the concrete street below. Light blue markings framed the sides of her face and traveled down her arms. They almost looked like small ice sheaths spreading over a winter wonderland. I gazed at her face and blushed. She was so pretty and had this porcelain doll like face. Long silver lashes went unnoticed against her skin while her full light pink lips parted with her slight breathing.
"Well, she's breathing so that's a good sign." I sighed. Once I figured out she was still alive I stood, slinging one of her arms over my shoulders and wrapping my arm that wasn't holding her wrist, around her waist and begun making my way to the guild.
I stood panting in front of the doors with the girl still hanging off of my side. Once my breath returned I pushed open the doors and walked in. The guild hall, once loud and chaotic, was silent as each member watched me in a perplexed way. My eyes shifted around looking for either Natsu or Gray to help me with the young girl. Instead I found the least expected person giving me a hand. Laxus Dreyer, the grandson of Fairy Tail's resident Guild Master. He wrapped his arms around her, carrying the girl like a bride. My mouth dropped open in shock at the bulky man.
"You can explain on the way to the infirmary." Laxus' deep voice snapped me out of my utter surprise as he walked towards the stairs. Without even thinking I quickly followed after him. He listened silently as I spoke about finding her.
"However, I have no idea how she got so hurt or why she was lying in the middle of the street." I finished just as we reached the infirmary door. Skillfully, Laxus swung open the door and quickly walked in. He gently placed her on the first bed he saw before reaching for some gauze and other items to clean her wounds.
"We can't do much until Wendy gets back with Erza from their job so this is the best I've got." He said while wrapping her wounds. "She should be fine in the next couple of days or so."
"Where's Master and Mira?" I asked, still confused as to why he helped me and not them. Laxus finished with his work before standing up and heading for the door.
"The old man is at a meeting with the council and Mira went shopping with Lisanna." I nodded at his reply before going and sitting in the chair next to her bed.
"I'll stay with her for the time being. If Master asks just send him to me I'll explain everything. Thank you Laxus, for helping me." He shrugged and left the room. If I had any idea of what was about to happen after meeting her I probably would have warned everyone about the dangerous secret she was carrying. Thinking back on everything that's happened I wouldn't change it for the world.
I didn't realize I had fallen asleep until my forehead started to freeze. My eyes shot open and I instantly sat up straight with a squeak erupting from my mouth. My gaze locked with icy blue eyes of the girl I found. Relaxing, I smiled softly at her.
"Hi! I'm Lucy, this is Fairy Tail's infirmary." I said as she looked around the room then back to me. The girl sat there quietly and completely stotic. She blinked at me before taking in her appearance.
"What happened to my clothes?" She spoke so softly that I almost couldn't hear her. I smiled at her. She tugged at the button up shirt I found on one of the shelves.
"I changed them while you were unconscious. They were all torn up and bloody, figured you'd want to be in something a little more comfortable." She nodded, accepting my answer.
"Forgive me for taking up you're time. As well as your resources." She bowed her head in apology at me.
"Oh! No, it's okay really." She looked at me and tilted her head slightly to the left. I wonder if that's her way of saying she's confused? "You were hurt so it's only right to help you out." I know she's probably still confused and has some unanswered questions. Right now though she got to heal otherwise me saving her would be useless. Laxus helped with fixing her up but he's not even here to see if she's alright. I sighed before standing up from my chair.
"Come on I'll take you down stairs to get some food." I smiled holding out my hand for her. She said nothing and slowly placed her feet over the edge of the bed so that they were on the floor. Tossing off the blanket she stood, well more like wobbled. I quickly helped balance her.
"Easy there. Don't work yourself too much while healing." I laughed as we walked out of the infirmary. I was hoping I could get to know her and open up about what had happened to her. As I look back on it, I can't bring myself to hate her for everything that occurred that day. She is and forever will be a member of Fairy Tail and my sister. She not only saved me but the rest of the guild. Laxus took what happened more harshly than everyone else. She was just as close with him as she was with me. The three of us were, I guess you could say, a family.
Everyone in the guild did what they did best. Laughed and joked around until an all out brawl started. The only person to notice we'd arrived was Mira, who made it a point to use me as a distraction before things really escalated.
"Lucy, how is she?" Mira kindly asked with a smile.
"Why not see for your self?" I replied and stepped aside so she could see our guest. Mira squealed happily at the sight of her. Everyone froze in their fight to stare at us.
"How are you feeling hun?" She asked as the both of us took a seat at the bar.
"Fine."
"She's very quiet ain't she?" Mira's brother Elfman asked as he walked over. I looked at him with a frown. So what if she's quiet? At least she's alive. I mean her injuries were pretty bad. Wait I wonder how she can walk right now. With how bad she was when I brought her here, she should be up stairs in bed unable to even move. I ignored Elfman's question as I turned to the girl we were talking about.
"Hey, I have a question for you." I asked my silver haired friend beside me. Her icy blue eyes turned to me as she nodded. "How are you able to move? I looked at your wounds and you should've been in bed for at least a week."
"I heal fast. I just need to rest and let my body heal from the damage I took." She answered. "Though I noticed I haven't introduced myself to you. I'm sorry for being rude to someone who saved my life."
"It's fine really. There's no reason for you to apologize to me." I quickly replied. "But I'd like to know your name so that we can be friends."
"My name is Ivory. Thank you for saving my life and being so kind." She said giving me a small smile. I blinked as Mira and Elfman stared at us in confusion. She actually smiled at me.
