Hey guys guess who's back with a chapter that is half the size of the first chapter.
...
I need to work on my intro. Wait do I even need an intro?
Meh. I'll figure that one out later.
So anyways new chapter around 1768 words so a little over half the size of the last chapter. I was seriously contemplating whether or not to upload this as it is or add what's now gonna be chapter 3 to it but I decided I'd keep it simple for now. I seriously need to improve my writing cuz I'm finding myself repeating words and mixing up tenses.
Other then my crap story writing this chapter has a little to no action in it and its gonna be gore-y like what most of this is most likely going to be judging by the root I'm taking this story.
No spoilers but I'll give ya a hint (not really).
I'm taking what Edo-Lucy says a little more seriously.
Ok now I'm just blabbing on with the story.
Year: X782
Location: Unknown
Lisanna P.O.V
"Lisanna! Don't leave me!"
"Lisanna!"
"LISANNA!"
Bang!
Lisanna woke up with a start, eyes lids flying open. She then felt pain shooting up from her ribs, she groaned in pain before reaching the wound pulling away to find her hand was mildly covered in blood. Looking down at her shirt seeing a wide cut beginning at her navel then going up to her rib.
"How did I..?" she trailed off, her mind rapidly catching up with her body, her eyes widened before franticly looking around her.
"Mira-nee!" She yelled pulling herself up to her feet ignorant of her surroundings "Elf-niicha-!"
In that moment she stepped into a pile of red mush her foot easily passing through the muck but stopping midway on a white puddle within it. Quickly realizing what is was she gave a gasp while backpedaling before falling over a blade.
"A corpse..." She whispered hand coming up to her mouth to prevent the rising bile. She was no stranger to dead bodies, she had seen her fair share on some jobs but never in this fashion.
It was split open from head to groin with the chest having a large burnt hole. All the organs, intestines and bone had been turned into a goopy mess inside the body forming a red, white and bits of green soup with the chest acting as a bowl.
She was this close to vomiting, the stench becoming more apparent, forcing it back down she fumble with the sword beneath her legs and used it as a crutch to push herself up on to her trembling legs, staggering away from the carcass but before she could even take a step a resounding bang was made above her and after a few moments another body landed in front of her.
This time it was pumped full of bleeding holes.
And most horrifying thing was...
She knew him.
"Krov!" She cried out, he looked different somehow, but it was most definitely the Krov she knew. Rushing over she saw that he was barely breathing as blood gushing out of his wounds.
Krov looked at her weakly coughing blood trickling to his chin.
"Lisanna...your... ok..." he said weakly before looking past her at the dead body, "Niggy...managed...to...protect... you..."
'Niggy?' she thought in confusion before realizing who that corpse was. Tears welled up in her eyes and dripped down to cold grass beneath her.
'No...'
"He...managed...to...block...a... Commander...ain't...that...a... story...to...tell...everyone..." Krov grinned before nodding his head back becoming motionless.
'No! No! No!'
"Krov?" She looked at her fellow Fairy Tail member distraught, "Krov!"
"Commander! I think I can hear more of them from underneath the cliff!" shouted a male voice in a militaristic manner above her.
"Go investigate it Sarge! Take your squad with you and the rest of ye attend to the wounded" said another voice in a goofy tone, "While the enemy may have escaped yet again my comrades with the Lacrima, but we will get them eventually this I swear!"
There was a chorus of hooraying and bashing weapons. Lisanna staggered away from the cliff clutching to her wounds while using the sword as third leg to give support to her weak legs.
She had to leave right now but her heart clenched as she left behind her two dead guildmates.
'Why did this happen?' She thought moving into the trees doing her best not to shout out her grief in fear of whoever shot Krov hears her, instead choosing shed tears in a mixture of distress, sorrow and pain.
The sorrow of seeing the mutilated corpse of a guildmate and watching another one die in front of her own eyes.
The pain of knowing they weren't going to receive a proper burial from them but from an organization she doesn't even know who murdered them ruthlessly.
The distress of not knowing where she was, how she got there or whether Mirajane was safe or Elfman finally coming back to his senses.
She only knew one thing for certain.
She needed to be anywhere but here.
She continued to walk deeper into the woods.
Not once looking back.
Lisanna established a few things as she walked.
First, she wasn't in Fiore last she recalled her night sky didn't have planets that close up so she hoped she was someplace up north in Seven there was no ice so she was most definitely not in Isvan where Gray was from.
If she was in the south or far north east she was a long way home.
Second and most important.
She couldn't access her magic power.
At all.
A fact which terrified her.
No magic means no Take Over, no Take Over means no means to defend herself or hunt food bar the usage of her fists which were extremely basic without her Take Overs and a strange looking sword that hardly looked reliable in a fight.
If she ran into a dark guild she was certified a goner.
'Or that organization that killed Niggy and Krov' Her mind was still reeling of the horrific manner her guildmates died, her mind had become muted to it as she walked on doing it best to forget.
'I don't think I'll ever forget'
Krovs eyes looked at her, empty of the cheerful wonder she used to remember in the short time she knew him.
Niggy.
"Hrk!" Lisanna rushed over the nearest tree and hurled up whatever was left in her stomach.
"Hah...Hah... " She rasped greedily sucking for air she staggered backward, " That's fourth time..." She noted dully, she didn't think she had anything left to vomit up, but she was proved wrong and now she had no food in her stomach.
She shook her head and stumbled forward tripping up on a large root.
"Ahhh!" She screamed as she began rolling down the slope, crashing into several bits of rock and jagged roots.
Lisanna angled her sword down the blade edge was facing down. It was a long sword with the blade being a strange shade of purple. It had no cross-guard or pommel. The grip being black and coming out where the blade meets the grip was a dull gray box with a white interface on it. Leading out from it was a strange ribbon that was also a dull white with a yellow striping on the inner side entangling the blade while keeping a considerable distance.
She had to aim the blade where there was no 'ribbon' and hope it would catch onto a stray branch.
She waited for the precise moment where her body was facing parallel to the ground. It took her a few attempts but eventually the sword drove into a bit of soft rock, she had the wind knocked out of her before landing in a heap on a river bank.
"Ugh…" Lisanna groaned, she then felt more blood seep through her clothes, clutching her abdomen she crawled to the river's edge too tired to even stand. She looked at her reflection in the water.
'Is this me?'
She could barely recognize herself. She was pale, her hair shriveled, and her eyes looked….
'Blank…'
Shaking herself out of her stupor she looked down at her clothes. Wrinkling up her nose in slight disgust at the smell of iron, she stripped down, grabbing the sleeve of her outfit she began soaking it in the water.
'What did Polyusica say "Idiots not even thinking about infection" or something like that. Natsu got that scar on his neck at the time didn't he.'
Lisanna giggled a bit at the memory, she recalled how panicky Natsu got when he said a big black man attacked him out of nowhere. Polyusica had been kind enough to clean it up. It wasn't that bad in all fairness it was only a teensy cut but Natsu's whining eventually got to the old woman who had been collecting herbs from the Master.
She smiled at the memory fondly and began cleaning her wounds. Her vision became blurry, blinking she rubbed her eyes.
The blurriness wouldn't stop, was her vision going away?
'No.'
These were tears.
A familiar feeling rose in her chest, she couldn't quite place it but her heart felt like it was going to explode.
"I'm crying?"
She wiped them away and continued to work but they wouldn't stop flowing, her hands quivering as she wrapped the other sleeve of her outfit around her torso, closing the flaps of flesh towards each other.
All she could hope for now was for it to scab over. It wasn't that deep of a cut, it should heal fine if experience held true. She sniffled a bit and wiping more tears away she dipped into the water.
'This reminds of the time me, Elf-niichan and Mira-nee went swimming in the lake when the villagers cut off the water supply.'
They had fun despite being hated by the village, making their own happy bubble in the air of hate, she learnt how to swim from Mirajane. Lisanna remember the smiles they both had as Elfman cheered her on the banks.
After things got more and more dangerous when the village started assaulting them and began more... creative ways of hurting them, they fled to a place which soon became their home.
'Fairy Tail.'
"Ah…" She just realized what the feeling was, why her heart ached so much.
"I want to go home." She cried into the palms of her hand. She couldn't take it anymore, she just saw people from her very guild die in front of her very eyes, she woke up injured from her own brothers attack and somewhere that was nowhere near home and most of all she didn't even know what became of her siblings.
Tears fell freely now. She screamed her frustration in to her arms as she curled up into a ball in the river. She wanted to be home where Elfman could comfort her maybe spout something about being manly, Mirajane hugging her and just being there for her. And the guild having their daily brawl. Erza, Cana, Levi, Gray and most importantly Natsu and Happy.
They don't know where she is or if she was ok and for all they know she is dead.
No Elfman, no Mirajane, no Natsu and no Fairy Tail to protect her now.
She was well and truly on her own.
Injured and no magic.
She never felt so utterly vulnerable.
Unknown P.O.V
A figure ran through the tree branches with haste. He was slowly making his way away from underneath the cliff. He was panting as he ran praying that he would make it in time.
"Please don't let me be too late."
He followed the blood stains that were on the rocky trail. On top of those stains were four sets of freshly made boot prints.
"You better be alive"
"Lisanna"
And done. Yes I know a lot more shorter but hey I really didn't want to edit something huge and make people wait longer, looking at you kgvision ,cheers mate your the first reviewer and follower in this story and don't worry I'm as stubborn as a mule and won't quit this story.
Its just takes me a while to type up stories due to life being a constant pain in the ass.
Although I saw plenty of people actually visit though never gave their thoughts. I kinda wanted to use reviews to help me think of what to do or what I should be aiming for or just boost in confidence and inspiration in general but new story and Edolas isn't as explored as it should. I really should have expected that.
Ok now for the chapter. I'll admit yes Lisanna here is a little bit OOC, I searched everywhere in place where she might have been in the same situation but guess what there weren't any character death is pretty uncommon in Fairy Tail so OOC is to be expected. If anyone wishes to correct me in her way of thinking please tell me it would be a good lesson for me.
Ok now the Krov and Niggy hmm.
Yea I just didn't have enough info and they seemed ok to kill off since they didn't appear after the Tenrou Island Arc I expect they quit the guild like most of the members but I think I portrayed them ok in Earth land they left Fairy Tail and in Edolas they died for a single member that they probably cared for as they literally died for Lisanna. As for who killed them I'll let you guess but it is pretty obvious and those that do know notice how I revamped the magic a bit.
Oh yea I'm changing Edolas magic a bit giving it a lot depth I guess is the word and power. Oh a shit ton of power for those who don't have magic weapons or protection also please note Edolas is a lot more advanced then Earthland I will explain how they got their magic in future chapters.
And the last P.O.V yes it is an OC and you probably know who. Also C is also the first letter of his surname so its technically right.
Technically.
But what you don't know is who(what) I'm using.
Muhahaha!
I'll see you in the next chapter.
