When the World Became Dark
Summary: Kae loses her sight in an accident while on a mission. She struggles day to day on how to cope and get around. But nothing is impossible with a family like the Fairy Tail Guild.
A/N: This story has no real plot, and it is just some short scribbles that are helping me cope. They can be read as oneshots in a way, and may not be in order. I'm just writing them as they come to me. The reason for this is that I got some news about a week ago that I am slowly going blind and in a few years I will completely lose my sight. I'm pretty devastated right now… Everything is a mess, and this story might be a mess too, but it's a way for me to get everything out.
OC Notes: Kae Dragmire's magic is Shadow Summon and Shadow Make. Laxus and Kae are in a relationship. Kae is part of the Thunder Legion. Kae is 21 years old, and has long black hair and violet eyes. (May add more notes in future chapters)
Chapter One-Tears
Kae winced as she heard Laxus lightning teleport in front of their house signaling he was home from his mission. She, herself, had gotten back from a mission just earlier that day. Only hers had ended in disaster…
She had gone with Wendy and Charla to go exterminate a large and very venomous snake that had made it's nest just out side of a village not far from Magnolia. It had been attacking and poisoning locals and travelers. Her part of the job was to take out the snake while Wendy and Charla healed the victims.
And while she did kill the snake, she had made a fatal move that landed her with poison spat in her eyes, blinding her. Wendy had done her best to heal her eyes, but it had been too late when she and Charla had finally made it to her. The damage was done and Kae had lost her sight forever.
Poor Wendy had been so distraught and had blamed herself for not making it to her in time. But Kae was grateful for the young Dragon Slayer and had told her not to worry, that she was not to blame. She knew Wendy would need time to realize that though, and she quietly listened to the younger girl cry all the way home as she and Charla guided Kae back to Magnolia.
Speaking of tears… A pair of big, gentle hands gently brushed her cheeks, wiping hers away. Kae sucked in a startled breath, not having realized she had been crying nor that Laxus had come into their room.
"Laxus…" She murmured, for once not knowing what to say.
Someone from the guild had to have said something to him. His next words confirmed that.
"Wendy told me what happened." He said, taking both of her hands in his, "It might seem like an impossible situation, but we'll get through it. Day by day. We'll figure it out. And you're not alone. We're all here for you, Kae."
The tears came harder and faster now. Kae mourned the loss of her sight, but she was so thankful she wasn't alone.
One person's tears, are everyone's tears…
