Chapter One
Bellalyse's P.O.V. (Sixty Days Later…)
I cracked open my eyes, squinting into the bright sunshine. I walked around the forest a couple of times, hoping for something to happen. Just something. I had no remembrance of my life. I looked down and saw keys, some crystal ones, some blue ones, and some white ones. Something flashed in front of eyes, a streak of brilliant scarlet hair. My heart thudded wildly for a minute than stopped. I calmed myself and went through the list of stuff I did know.
One. I was Bellalyse Mariota Revela Pyderi Dragion de Lille, Daughter of Mother Nature and the Dragon God. Two. I was connected by a special bond with magic and life, and knew all types of magic. Three. My parents were dead. Four. I had these key things that looked similar to Celestial Spirit Keys. I know the crystal ones are but the blue and white keys? Not so sure. Five. I had no knowledge of my past seventeen years, let alone a day's worth of memory.
I studied my surroundings again. Then the image changed, and the forest was wilting, soaked in a coppery red liquid. Blood. As I refocused, it turned back to normal, but the image haunted me. In some way, I was connected to the scene. I tried my magic. It worked fine, normal even. I looked down at my clothes and gasped. There was a huge dried blood circle on my dress. Why was I even wearing a dress? It was a fancy black dress with tulle under skirt, delicate lace, and the top formed an X across my back. This wasn't my style at all. I was wearing worn out flats. That, I found okay at least.
"Bella?" A guy with chestnut hair walked toward me with a look of shock. A short guy with orange-ish hair followed him, along with another guy with black hair and tan skin and a younger boy, this one blonde and pale. Three of them wore about the same outfit while the short guy wore a tuxedo. "Is that you?"
"What?" I didn't know why, but I felt so familiar to them. "Um, do I know you?"
Their eyes grew big. "You don't remember the Trimens?" The tan guy asked.
"Am I supposed to?"
Their eyes grew even bigger. "What about Fairy Tail? Team Guardian? Erza? Makarov?"
"Not really…" My voice trailed off. They all sounded familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it.
Their eyes were so big that I expected them to pop right out of their heads. "You should come with us. Fairy Tail's been depressed lately over your supposed death. We heard what happened with Tierra and the Grand Magic Games."
Grand Magic Games. Those words left an echo through my body. Tierra wasn't a new term to me either. "I'm right here, and trust me, I'm not a ghost," I said stupidly.
"Just come. Men!" The short guy struck a pose while the other three clapped.
I debated about this in my head. Suspicious? I could easily take them out, considering the fact that only three of them were actually suited for combat. Weird? Definitely. But did it matter if they were weird? For god's sake, I don't even know a person or where I am! So I guess that could be considered weird.
"Fine." I sighed, and then started walking alongside them.
"I'm Hibiki. He's Ren, and that's Eve. And the other guy is Ichiya." The chestnut haired guy introduced himself. "So how's Lucy?"
Lucy, Lucy, Lucy. "Nope, sorry don't know her." I answered cheerfully.
The mood suddenly became depressed. "You really don't know anything." Ren replied.
"Not my fault." I said stubbornly. "It's not like I wanted to lose my memory, you know?"
We continued walking like this until they stopped in front of a large house. Well, it looked like a house. To be honest, I wasn't quite sure what it was. "Welcome to our guild, Blue Pegasus." Ichiya struck another pose. As the Trimens applauded, I face palmed. Where they like this everywhere?
It wasn't exactly pleasing to my eyes either when a cupid-like guy invited us in. "Welcome! I'm Master Bob!"
I took a deep breath and stepped into the house thing.
Normal P.O.V. (At Fairy Tail)
Makarov sat in his office, thinking deeply. Bob had just notified him of finding a "girl named Bella who looked exactly like their Bellalyse."
"Mira!" He yelled. She appeared immediately. She was one of the two he told about the strange finding. Laxus managed to overhear them talking so he was forced into an agreement to never share this with Team Natsu and especially not Team Guardian. "Bring Team Guardian and Erza to my office."
They appeared, tired and worn out from all of their most recent missions. "Yes, Master?" Tired as she was, Erza was alert and ready for anything.
"Go to Blue Pegasus. They'll explain everything there. And this has to do with Bella."
Charlotte smiled. "I don't know whether this is good news or bad news."
"Bella?" Wendy gaped. "What do they know?"
"Go and find out." He made a gesture for them to leave.
Bellalyse's P.O.V. (A Few Hours Later at Blue Pegasus)
My mind was on a whirl. While we waited for my supposed friends, the Trimens filled me in on everything. And I do mean everything.
"If I had a boyfriend, wouldn't I remember him?" I stood up, slamming my hands on the table. "Maybe we're just friends."
"Nope," Eve said, smiling. "You and Rogue were clearly dating. And during the Grand Magic Games, we could see them worried in the audience stands when you almost got beaten."
The doors slammed open, revealing nine figures in the light. One of them wore armor and had long scarlet hair. Her face was gentle, yet stern and serious at the same time. Another had black hair and red eyes. He had a katana at his hip, but a look of shock, surprise, and happiness replaced his emotionless expression once his eyes met mine. The one that was blonde was cocky-looking, right down to the arrogant smirk. A boy and girl were also there as well. The girl had blue hair in pigtails, and she looked pretty and powerful at the same time. The boy had light brown hair and had an outfit resembling the night sky. Three were Exceeds, one a dark red maroon, another having a tiger print, and one having a frog-like costume. Another girl was also present. She had light brown hair tied up into a ponytail with a ribbon. Her green eyes reflected pain and sorrow.
"Bella!" I was thrown aback when the scarlet-haired girl and the black-haired guy ran toward me, engulfing me in a hug. Everyone else joined.
"Sorry…but do I know you?" I mumbled.
Meanwhile…in Jai (Normal P.O.V.)
"Silvestria, do you have the rope ready?" Ash called up the stairs. "We're leaving soon!"
"I'm coming, sheesh!" Silvestria made her way down to the lower level in the large house. She quickly planted a kiss on Ash's cheek and walked nimbly out the door. "So what is it this time?"
"One of the Dwarf Panda's escaped into the icy waters." He replied.
"Huh?" She cocked her head to the side. "Ash you should remember. I no speak your big smart talk."
He sighed. "One of those cute little black and white bears went into cold water."
"Ohhh!" She exclaimed, grinning at him. "Do we need a Water Lock?"
He motioned toward the lake. "Please do."
She grinned and stepped forward. After Ash asked her to be his girlfriend, which she was totally thrilled about, she lived with him in Jai. He managed to get her used to touching water again. "Water Merge Magic: Water Lock." She pushed her arms out, making her palms reflect against the clear water. Nothing happened. "Water Merge Magic: Water Lock." She repeated. "It's not working," she complained to Ash. "And I swear to god, I'm not thinking about Silvestra."
Ash walked forward, examining the lake. A strong breeze swept through the valley. The water suddenly yanked upwards and joined the wind. Earth and pebbles rose to merge with it along with flames and sparks. He snatched his arm back. "Do you feel that?"
She listened for a moment. "Yeah. What does that mean?"
Despite the burning in his shoulder blades, he smiled. "Bella's alive."
Meanwhile on Earth (Normal P.O.V.)
Esmerella sighed. "Okay, let's wrap it up now, okay? I'll email you guys the song title and stuff."
"Sure." The recording guy packed up all of his equipment and left.
"Did you finish recording?" Luke's head appeared next to the doorframe.
"Yeah. I feel exhausted." She grinned half-heartedly. "Let's go walk in the gardens."
"Agreed." Luke led her out into the gardens when she stopped suddenly. "What's wrong?"
"My shoulder blades are burning." She replied, her voice sounding off task.
He immediately got into a defensive mode. "Is it Ash?"
"No," she said, thinking. "It's more like a good burn."
"And?"
"If it's like this…Bella's alive." She turned to him, smiling happily. "She's alive!"
Meanwhile… (Normal P.O.V.)
Mother Nature smiled down at her children. "They've grown."
"They should have," the Dragon God said gruffly.
A gentle smile graced her lips again as she turned toward them. "Do you think they'll find out?"
"Ash and Esmerella? They should have figured it out by now, especially with all of the hints given to them and Silvestria and Luke helping them as well." He drummed his fingers on the wooden chair given to them.
She thought for a minute. "Silvestria…she's one of the Water God Demigod twins isn't she?"
Frowning he glanced at her. "The other twin's dead. Silvestra that is."
"Can't help it. It's the balance of life." She sighed. As Mother Nature, she and the God of life, Xena, had the power to resurrect the dead. "Do you think what I did was right at that time?"
"What, with Tierra?" He turned his attention back to the screen. "It's not what everyone would have wanted but you did the right thing."
"Okay, for that one, I have no comment. It was my mistake."
"It's both of our mistakes," he said. "To bring Tierra into this world."
"Ah, I miss her." She wiped away a stray tear.
"That's only natural to miss your own daughter."
Bellalyse's P.O.V.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Oka-what? For what seems to be the third time in less than twelve hours, my mind was whirling. All I knew were tidbits of important information.
Four glowing figures appeared, blinding everyone. The light danced outwards and revealed two girls and two boys. One girl walked in a fluid motion, with blue hair, aqua eyes, and a shirt that just melted into her skin tone. The other girl had light brown hair and pretty eyes. One of the boys had very dark brown untidy hair and brown eyes. The other had brown hair as well, but he had green eyes.
All of them stared at me with shock. This was getting kind of old. Then came the surprised, "Bella?"
"Yep, it's me." I said airily. I quickly memorized their names but none of them really sounded familiar.
The brown haired girl stepped forward and hugged me so tight I could barely breathe. The boy with green eyes joined her. "Bella! We thought you died! What happened to your lacrimas?"
"Lacrimas? What are those?" I asked while the other two joined them.
"Um, Esmerella, Ash." Rogue interrupted. "She doesn't remember anything."
"What?!" The girl I now know as Esmerella stepped back. "She doesn't even remember her siblings?"
"I have siblings?!" I exclaimed. "When do I get to see them?"
Wendy laughed softly. "They're right in front of you."
"Oh." I said. "Nice to meet you…I guess?"
Ash smiled. "Still it's good to see you. This is Silvestria and Luke. The Demigods of Water and Destruction."
"Okay…" I smiled at them. "So, what do we do now?"
"Ahem," Esmerella coughed. "You guys forgot. She doesn't remember her lacrimas. How the heck can she be alive, right here, right now, without her lacrimas or at least the knowledge of her lacrimas!"
The room went silent while I just got more confused. "Are the lacrimas important?"
Luke grasped me by the shoulders. "Let's just say they're essential to your survival."
"We should keep Bella's survival a secret too." Matt murmured as everyone started to listen. "Tierra's still out there and she'll probably set out for Bella."
Another unsettling silence filled the room. "So what do we do then?" Hibiki asked.
"I guess she could stay with Rogue and Sting," Erza said slowly. "Ash and Esmerella, if you like, you could stay with them too."
Esmerella and Ash exchanged looks. "We're definitely staying. No way are we leaving Bella alone after her battle."
"I guess it's settled then," Eve said. "Bella goes with them."
"Men!" Ichiya yelled, scooting over next to Erza. "Very nice parfum!"
Erza started sweating and finally threatened him with a sword. "Get away from me!"
Wendy face palmed. "Let's go before we destroy the guild."
Author's Note: I'm sorry it took forever! Anyway, I'm wondering which should be her first memory: Her memories with Ash and Esmerella or her memories with ALL of the demigods and gods. Thanks for reading! Please review!
