DISCLAIMER : I don't own Fairy tail
Lucy's POV
Always that same dream. I'm walking in a field full of flowers of any colour you can imagine and where the sun shines brightly. When I look to my right I see a forest with enormous trees that looked as if they were there since the beginning of time. Then, when I look to my left I can see the mountains that go so high that you can't even see the top! But as usual, as soon as I tried to pluck one of the flowers, I could see a large amount of dark smoke coming out of my body and everything it would touch would instantly die. I tried to stop it but that would only make it expand, and before I knew it, whether it was to my right or left, everything was dead. The flowers all withered and the ancient trees were all falling to the ground one after another by the smallest gust of wind. At that point tears were falling down my cheeks seeing how much death I created and then I suddenly woke up realizing how much sweat I was covered in.
I got up my bed and started walking towards my bathroom to take a nice quick bath to freshen up before I went to the guild. 'why do I always have that same dream and what does it mean' I asked myself every morning while the bathtub was getting filled by the hot water. After a quick rinse I got out of the tub and grabbed the nearest towel to my disposal and wrapped it around my body so I could get dressed now.
However as soon as I got out of the bathroom I saw Natsu and Happy in my room and being myself let out a big "KYAAAAAAAAAA" but It wasn't because they went into my room, it was because the only thing that was on my body was a towel.
"Natsu what are you doing here so early in the morning?!"
"Oh hey Luce! We're just here cause today are the announcements for who's gonna be in the S-Class exams and we have to be at the guild earlier than usual !" Natsu said with excitement because he's been waiting a whole year for this moment.
"Ok i'll be right there you guys go without me, don't worry i'll catch up to you." I still had to write a letter to mom before I left and I wouldn't be able to concentrate if Natsu would be here.
"You sure?"
"Yeah go ahead" I said trying to convince him to go
"Ok then see you there!"
"See you later! Oh and Natsu?"
"Yeah"
"USE THE DOOR NEXT TIME!" I yelled at him. However instead of answering me he just gave me his signature 'don't worry about it' smile.
As soon as I got dressed up, took my gate keys, wrote mom a letter and brushed my hair, I was out the door to catch up to Natsu and Happy. I later saw them eating at some restaurant and couldn't help but laugh a little bit seeing how exited Natsu was to get to the guild but he still stopped to go and eat. I went inside and without saying a word to the employees I just went to Natsu's table to remind him about the announcement. As soon as the word announcement left my mouth I saw his eyes lighten up, like a child who ate candy for the fist time, and he instantaneously left the restaurant as he was heading towards the guild making me pay all of his food bills 'damn that Natsu' I thought to myself as the waitress gave me his bill.
After paying that extravagant bill I was heading towards the guild wondering about who would get chosen to participate in the exams. When I was only a few steps away from fairy Tail, I could hear master's voice saying some of the names. At that point I ran towards the guild hoping I hadn't already missed my name. As I reached the guild, I heard some names being called out. When I entered the crowd of my fellow Fairy Tail wizards I was able to take a glimpse of the stage where master was standing along with Gildarts and Erza and behind them were Natsu,Grey,Freed and Wendy.
"And the fifth wizard is Cana Alberona." As soon as he said her name all eyes were looking at the drunken mage, who looked as if she was having the time of her life however I did manage to catch a glimpse of sadness on her face but it barely lasted for a second so I didn't think to much of it at the time.
"Ok that's all of our mages for this year's exams. However..." Makarov said noticing the hope in the eyes of those that weren't chosen "this year's exams will be done in teams of two with a mage that hasn't been selected."
At those words the whole guild cheered up exempt for a select few who were still a bit saddened they got chosen as one of the five.
"The departure for Tenjourima will be tomorrow, so start picking your teams now" Gildarts said noticing how if he didn't say it now then it would be impossible later, judging from the guild's current mood. Then he, along with master and Erza, left the stage to join the others in their feast.
In the meantime I went to the bar to join Cana, as I wanted to congratulate her for making it into the 5 chosen mages. Cana offered me a drink but I refused as I don't drink, she was a bit disappointed but she respected my decision so we started talking about the exams.
"What kind of tasks do you think they'll make you do?" I asked as it was the first S-class exams I witnessed since I joint the guild over half a year ago.
"Well just like every other exams there'll be at least one S-class wizard that'll be there for us to battle and to keep us occupied."
"Do you know who it'll be?"
"No, they didn't announced it yet. They probably will when we'll get to the island."
"We?" I asked hoping that she would say the magic words.
"Yeah you and me, I saw how bad you wanted to be part of the 5 so…will you be my partn-"
"YES!" I said interrupting her louder than I actually wanted to.
"Great so i'll see you tomorrow then!" she said in a drunken voice as all the alcohol she previously drank was slowly making her drunker by the minute.
I was then walking back to my appartement to get ready for tomorrow. When I was walking in the streets of Magnolia I realized that I never really explored it as I never had a lot of spare money, since i've always had to use it to pay for the damages me and team Natsu would cause while on our jobs. Realizing I had some money that I wouldn't be using as I would be on Tenroujima I decided that it'd finally be time to explore the city. I went to my favorite bakery to buy some of my favourite pastries and then headed out to what Levy and Juvia reffered to as the clothes section of Magnolia. The name says it all, it's the part of Magnolia that is completely dominated by clothing stores.
I bought myself some hard boots for the exams noticing that my normal shoes might not be suitable for the conditions in Tenroujima. I then started heading back home after spending most, if not all, of my money. When I came back home I saw something strange. All my plants were dead. I was sad thinking that they died even though I put a lot much time and effort Into them. I couldn't find a logical explanation for their sudden death but didn't have time to think about it, after all tomorrow was the start for the exams.
'Time to get to bed' I thought to myself as I was done packing my bags. Putting on my pyjamas I headed towards the bathroom for my quick night routine and then went to bed thinking about the day 'So today I spent a lot of money on Natsu's food bill and on my new clothes' I then glanced towards my new items thinking it was a good purchase 'and….I'M GOING TO TENROUJIMA!' just the thought of me being an S-class wizard made me giggle as I pictured myself on the second floor of the guild next to Erza and Guildarts. After spending a good ten minutes in an almost euphoric state I realized it would be best to go to sleep as tomorrow would be the big day.
Although as soon as I started to fall asleep, I started getting a bad feeling about the island. It was as if something or someone was there just waiting to cause trouble. But although that was troubling, the most shocking part of it all was that this dark presence felt familiar.
I then closed my eyes and started to wander around the flower field thinking about the feeling I had just gotten before falling asleep. While I was strolling around the field, I went to the flower area to go and pick the flowers but as soon as I arrived there I noticed that the flowers had already died and at that point I realized that this time I wasn't alone.
A/N for those who are on Wattpad, my name there is FTNekoQueen I decided to post the story there as well :D
