Memories of a Teenage Amnesiac
FALL
Autumn leaves lie there outside the window. Leaves blow and dance in the air, making piles of red, orange and yellow. Gold wreaths hang on apartment doors, signaling it is autumn.
Inside a particular small house in the village, lies a skinny young blonde, who's eyes had just fluttered open. Looking around, she sees that she is not alone, she speaks up.
"W-where am I?"
Startled, an elderly woman turns around from her pie baking, and gives the blonde a warm smile.
"Oh sweetie, you're finally up! You've been asleep for a month since I found you."
"A month?"
"Ah yes, a month. I don't know what you were thinking, but I found you all bloody near a river bank, all alone. What's your name dear? And come, let's get you all cleaned up and see what you remember. Perhaps you can finally go home."
Her name... What is her name?
She doesn't know, but for some reason, looking at the mark on her right hand, she hears voices inside her head.
Strange yet familiar voices of people she has never met.
"Please, Lucy, noooo! Don't leave me! Don't do this to us!"
"Lucy! Can you hear us?! Please tell us you're okay!"
"LUCY!"
"Your name dear. What shall I call you?" The old woman asks once more, as the girl snaps back into reality.
Why do they call her Lucy in her head...? Perhaps this is her name.
Lucy...
She likes the feeling of it.
"My name is Lucy. Just Lucy," she says, softly. Her voice is as soft as an angel, light as a feather.
"Oh well Lucy dear, do you want to use my lacrimal to call your family to let them know you're okay?
But the girl only shakes her head.
"I don't have a family. But thank you for the thought."
"Thank you for the food," she says politely, meaning every word she says.
"Your welcome darling. You're an interesting little fella," the old woman chuckles. "Are you a wizard?" She asks, pointing to the keys on her belt.
Looking down, the blonde laughs a little, before feeling an ache in her heart.
"I guess you can say that. Although I'm not quite sure how to use those keys," Lucy tells her, as the old woman thinks for a while.
"I have an idea. There is a wizard in this town that may be able to help you," she says, as Lucy nods.
Perhaps this can help her get closer to her goal.
To find the answer to her past.
"Gate of the lion, I open thee! Leo!" She chants, after learning a bit from the wizard.
A bright, golden light forms in front of her, as she tries to protect her eyes by covering it with her sleeve.
"Your prince is here! I haven't heard anything from you in a long time! What happened? Where's Natsu? Where the heck are you?" He asks looking around at the unfamiliar buildings.
"Hey uhh you're a celestial spirit right...? You're one of my spirits right? So um can you tell me anything that's happened in my past Leo?"
The spirit stares at her with shock.
"You're joking right? You don't know anything?"
Lucy shakes her head and stares at the grey, concrete floor.
"I'm sorry!"
Placing a hand on her shoulder, the spirit smiles. "It's not your fault. First of all, I'm Loke, or Leo, but you always call me Loke. You're a celestial Mage and we, me and the keys, are your spirits. You are our master. Years ago, you saved me from execution from the spirit world, and I owe you my life for it," he begins.
"Can't I call you guys my friends instead of spirits?"
"You always have."
Lucy smiles, and after a while, Loke realizes that she is still the same little girl inside, just without her memories.
After telling her about each of the spirits and how they met, it seems as though Lucy knew most of the story.
Often times when he's explaining, he sees her recalling some of the memories about her spirits. Yet why is she clueless when it comes to her friends in Fairy Tail?
"You know our story, but you just needed a little reminding. Yet why can't you remember Fairy Tail?" He wonders out loud.
Lucy shrugs, as her head is blank, when she thinks about the words itself. For some reason, she can recall her past when Loke explained, and it was so easy pulling it out of her unconscious mind.
She can remember her parents and how they're both dead. She can remember how she met the spirits and the contracts and such, except from time to time, it goes hazy.
Yet for some reason when Loke mentions the words "Fairy Tail," nothing comes up. Not even the mark on her hand which Loke explained to be a symbol.
"We should go back to Magnolia and to Fairy Tail. Perhaps they will know of a solution," he tells her, but Lucy shakes her head.
"No, you told me that my disappearance probably caused a lot of pain right? I don't want to go back and hurt them once more. Maybe when my memories are back, I can see them again. Just... Not now," she says.
"How do you know you will hurt them again? I'm sure they are happier off seeing you alive without memories than thinking you're dead," Loke says.
"If I lost my memories how do I know they didn't lose their memories of me? Besides, I don't want to return without any memories. Please Loke, let me stay!" She begs.
After much convincing, he finally sighs. Running a finger through his hair, he finally says yes. "Fine..."
"I'm going to start over Loke. My head may be empty now, but before you know it, it will be filled with happy new memories in this town. Hover Town!" Lucy says, and the lion spirit chuckles.
"Still as positive as ever. Well princess, you know where to find me in case you need your prince!" He says, winking at her.
Rolling her eyes, Lucy replies. "Go home, flirt!"
He chuckles. "Still the same as ever."
And that was what Lucy decided to do.
Perhaps she will return to her true home one day, when she finally finds herself.
When she finally understands who she really is, she will go back.
She isn't going to go back with unknown memories and lost past.
She will return, and when she does, she will be happier and she will be free from this burden.
But for now, she will enjoy life while she can, and hope to regain her memories back.
They say that everything in life happens for a reason...
Perhaps it's too painful that her brain decided to block it out...
Maybe it's better off if she didn't remember...?
But it hurts you know. It hurts knowing that your loved ones are waiting, yet you don't know who they are.
It hurts to know that people you don't know are hurting because of you.
But for now, she will start over.
"Today's a new beginning," she whispers to herself, as a cool autumn breeze drifts by, fluttering her hair and making a few leaves twirl in the wind
"Starting over again is not that bad. Because when you restart you have another chance to make things right."
This first chapter's going to be a little shorter than the other ones but I hope you guys enjoyed it. Eventually Natsu will come and they will meet once more, and if you guys have any ideas, I'm here to listen.
Let me know how this went and leave a review. Thanks! :)
