I opened my eyes that morning hoping to see the sun, but as always it was somewhere else. I sighed then decided I should go down to Starbucks, after all I was meeting my friend there. I hummed while looking through my closet, "This should do", I then walked out of my room only to hear glass breaking.
At first I thought I should wake my mother up, but then I remembered she's probably high as heck. Heh, last time I woke her up from one of her hangovers I pretty much became target practice, I mused silently. A short while after my shower, I checked myself out. "Dang I look good!" I was wearing my favorite blouse, black jeans, and boots. "Something's missing though... YES my leather jacket."I brushed out my long auburn locks, whilst curling out the other half of my hair. Don't ask how I ever learned to multitask that well. Afterward I proceeded to leave as quietly as possible, before I left I heard my mom yelling. I poked my head back in, "Yes?" my mother's eyes scanned over me before she spoke,"Tch, don't bother coming home you little slut." I widened my eyes.
That was the last straw, I gritted my teeth and mumbled a swear. "Fine! You know what I don't need you!" "Hah, yeah right, you're nothing without me!" She reached for the closest object and threw it at me. I felt a sharp pain in my chest, I looked down only to see jagged bloody piece glass lodged in my chest, I stared at her in shock, not noticing the small rift under me.
"My mother then called 911 in a panic, "My daughter...glass...accident." Was all I heard by the time I began to feel the strong pull of sleep, before I closed my eyes I could make out the evil grin on my mother's face.
I awoke to the sensation of floating odd enough, I looked around and I concluded by the lack of light I was probably dead. So this is the afterlife.. This sucks, well least I don't have to live with the old hag anymore. I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Ok so I can only think in this place. I wonder why my mother seemed so scared when she called 911. I moved my body into a thinking position and for what felt like years, I tried to come up for a reason for my mother killing me,but I couldn't come up with any until I thought of my mother's relationship. The life insurance! The only man I called a father was a rich man who mom dated, until she noticed he payed more attention to me. Yeah he cared a lot about me, I think he lost his own daughter. Anyway. My father before he left he put over a million dollars on me in case I died, my mother wasn't as bad back then, so he never thought she would do such a thing. The large amount of money was for when I was older and had kids, so I didn't die and leave them with one parent and tons of bills,like my real father. She killed me for the money, why would she do that!? I then had a an idea why, she had been going to bars for the past 5 years, and in that small time frame she had somehow managed to put herself in well over half a million grand. I smacked my forehead, then scowled. If I ever see her again, I will make sure she goes to the deepest depths of hell!
Yeah I'm pretty sure I've been in here for well over a few months but then again how do I know? Well anyway I began my day, or whatever it is here, by doing a mini game of rock, paper, scissors with myself, I still don't know how paper beats rock. I mean that shouldn't even be possible, rocks are paper weights! For some odd reason, the darkness began to fade and light was coming. With new found curiosity opened my eyes..
Experiment 637 is waking up! I repeat 637 is waking up!" I heard shuffling coming what seemed like my direction, suddenly I was blinded by the sudden light,
"Nice job you blinded her." One of the many voices seemed to have a rather sarcastic tone, to what I think was feminine.
"Hmm, she seems to be alert, but we are going to have to run more tests."
"Why? She looks fine to me, ya know if you ignore that big red bump." A big red bump!? I opened my eyes fully, only to see a girl laughing, woke up for nothing.
"Hah I win I woke her up~ I woke her up~." " Only cause you nearly screamed for like five minutes."
"Aww don't cry just cause I won." I sweat dropped at the two,how could they be arguing at a time like this? The younger looking girl stuck her tongue out and gave a "give it to me" gesture.
"Kay, gimme the money already."
"I don't have it on me." "Gasp, you lied to me,how could you, your own sister!" I decided if I wanted answers I'm gonna have to butt in.
"Hello?" Nothing "Hello!?" Still nothing. Fine they wanna play it that way? "HELLO!?" This got their attention alright, as they both fell over with a shriek. "Heh, y-yea?" the younger one replied in embarrassment, rubbing the back of her neck as both got up.
"Where am I?" "Who are you two? "Wait...HOW AM I ALIVE?"
"Not too sure on how you're alive, my best guess is you were in limbo and a deity saved you and dropped you off outside."
"You landed in Earthland." The older one continued.
"Oh and I'm Fable, while the giggling fool is Naomi."
"Earthland? Is that any close to Seattle?" They both gave me an odd look then Naomi bursted out laughing again.
"You mean..you didn't know you fell through a portal? But we were sure you opened it." Fable gaped, then started muttering something about "interdimensional rifts". Naomi suddenly jumped up,"I get it! Hey sis you remember the whole Edolas portals that popped up?"
"Well yea, but Jellal said he has it under control."
"But what if the king is starting to hunt out different dimensions, taking samples as he goes?"
"Well, that man has always been a magic hungry pig."
Fable turned to me, "Have you ever heard of random light coming out of the skies?"
I thought this over then said, "Well, really only in movies or books."
She frowned, "Naomi I need you to search something up about the possible rifts."
"Why me? Why not Lyn?" She wined. Fable pointed towards the door,"Fine I'll go, don't get your glasses in a twist." And with that she was gone.
"What's this all about?" I asked her.
"Well it's kinda a long story..."
"I got time."
"Hmm I'll tell ya the basics of this planet later, for now I'll say that Edolas is the parallel dimension to this dimension."
"So that means Naomi would most likely act all serious and grumpy?"
"Pretty much, though there she has a distinct liking for black, here she normally wears neon colors." Wait, if this is another dimension how does she know all this?
"My sister and I are part of a team that travels from this dimension to others, we also try to figure out how rifts open and what the consequences are." Wow, wait how did she know what I was thinking?
"Perhaps it's because I can listen to others thoughts." I just gaped for a second there, She can read my mind? Kay that's creepy.
"Eh I think it's rather helpful in interrogations, but yeah it can get weird." Right as I was about to respond, Naomi walked in looking rather annoyed, "Sis I just looked everywhere, but all the sources just related to odd fanfictions."
"I'm having someone continue looking, but I'm thinking that the rifts are originating from somewhere else." I took this time to study their appearances, Fable had pale blond hair with stormy grey eyes and she wore glasses. Naomi on the other hand, had pink hair with bright grey eyes, I don't know how these two are even sisters! They both were wearing lab coats, but for Naomi I could see that she was wearing a neon pink shirt underneath.
"Hmm maybe we should let Nessa out." Ok, Fable really needs to quit reading my mind, it's annoying!
"Sorry you never told us your name, so we had to find out ourselves."
"Naomi go over to the panel and let her out." Naomi stuck her tongue out but did it anyway. I heard beeping in whatever I was in, then as if being pushed I fell forward. I closed my eyes expecting the fall, but instead I landed on a plush pillow.
I blinked at the two girls owlishly, "Heh throw pillow, thanks." I said.
"We're gonna send you to Fairy Tail, if that rift opened by you, and you don't realize it, a man will be able to help you control them."
"You gained some magic when you fell into this dimension, so we don't know what that is, but we're hoping the guild master might be able to help you." Fable explained.
"There's the possibility however that you had it before you were brought here." She added.
"But how will I get there?" I questioned.
"Oh that's simple I'll just teleport you there!" Naomi chirped.
I gaped at her "You can teleport people?!"
"Well duh. Didn't Fable tell you?" I shook my head, "Did she even tell you about magic?" I shrugged, "I picked it up in one of your conversations." I laughed mentally, as it was more arguing than actual talking.
"Hah and I thought I was bad at remembering things!" Naomi joked.
Fable narrowed her eyes, "Just get her the stuff, and hurry up!" Naomi did something akin to a salute/bow.
"We're giving you supplies to last for at the very most two months, as we're hoping that you would be part of the guild by then." She stated, then paused for a second. "You will have plenty of money for needs and wants."
At this time Naomi walked back in with a purse and a change of clothes.
"One of the magics we know you have is the requip and Naomi will give you the information about how to open the pocket dimensions." Fable said.
By the end of said crash course, I was lying flat on my back panting, "Did ya have to do it all at once?" I tiredly asked. Naomi of course smiled with a salute and a nod. Fable chuckled lightly at the sight, "Now remember Nessa practice the requip magic once you get to Fairy Tail and over time it'll become easier and faster." Fable smiled.
"Naomi prepare to begin the teleportation, we need to make sure you get there before nightfall, because that's when most of the monsters are out." Fable paused to look down at her wrist. "It's about midday at the moment and if you take the right directions, you could be there in under five hours." She said.
"Kay sis, tell Nessa to come over here!" I heard Naomi yell. I walked across the room to see Naomi covered in an interesting cloak that looked like golden waves were washing over her.
Her eyes were closed in concentration and her lips were locked in a frown.
"I think I can get ya to a forest three hours away, five at most." Naomi said in a strained voice. Golden sparks started to emit from her hands and a bubble formed around me. I felt as if I was being lifted up, in an instant Naomi opened her eyes and from what I could tell they were pure gold. I heard her mutter something, while I didn't make out most of it, I could manage to make out the word, "egnahc".
I heard a high pitched ringing sound in my ears and I noticed that Naomi started to ripple, kind of like when a rock hits water. I looked up only to see the sky above me, my eyes darted around until I noticed I was very high above the ground.
"Oh crap, Naomi never told me I was gonna go this high!" I panicked. Suddenly I felt like I was falling, I closed my eyes in fright at the thought of my impending doom
It was a rather warm day in Magnolia and one certain Mage was walking down the street. The girl had red hair and chocolate brown eyes. This was Erza "Titania" Scarlet. People parted for her to keep walking, as most of them knew about her fairly well and did not want to anger her. She was carrying a large club that greatly outsized herself and looked like it was made for an ogre. As she was walking, she noticed something like a comet, only difference was that there was a red shield-like thing that surrounded it. She took notice that it approaching fast and that it wasn't gonna hit Magnolia but some other place. She looked in awe at it and thought she might go check it out.
*Cue cake shop appearance*
Her eyes gained an excited look, and made a mad dash towards it. Once again everyone parted for her, as they feared her wrath if she was blocked from her cake. She looked at the "comet" one last time, and decided that someone else will probably check it out. She felt she was going to regret it later, somehow.
A man with orange hair looked up in time to see a beautiful red comet. He stared at it as it continued its descent. "Wonder where that thing's landing." He murmured. "And why does it look so familiar?"
After what seemed like ages, his eyes widened. That magic, why does it have it? That magic is too rare to simply be sitting on a rock! He looked at his hand, if that magic is the destructive as he thought, it could be catastrophic!
He ran after it, not knowing he pretty much just knocked down fifty trees while doing so. The comet crashed with magic shooting everywhere, the death magic was in a small amount as only a circle of grass was effected. The red magic appeared to be a rune shield that was highly reinforced, heck it looked like it could take a hit or two from the man's magic, and that was saying something. As the smoke cleared, he saw a girl laying in the crater. She looked to be sixteen or seventeen, she had long bright orange hair, and pale skin. Her leather jacket had cuts everywhere and a very large one over her heart. She had slight bruises on her head, arms, legs and neck. Her pants were ripped, and her boots were covered in scratches.
He ducked under the bush as he heard her groan. She held her head and looked around, "Ugh, Naomi did you have to drop me down so violently?" She muttered angrily. Her neon purple eyes were surveying everything curiously. "Then again where the heck did you even drop me?" She grabbed her purse, that for some reason was unharmed, and steadily stood up. "Well I look like crap, thanks Naomi." She looked at herself, checking how damaged everything was. "Heh, so the old witch did nail me in the heart." She laughed. The man had to hide his shocked face. How could A. Someone hit her there. B. Shouldn't she be dead?! She started walking down a very lush path, he followed her, despite the old saying "curiosity killed the cat". He was about ready to leave when he heard her laugh. "Ah, I can see the old hags reaction, "But officers! My daughter was right here! She was stabbed in the heart!" The girl said in a dramatic tone, that she only made sound more silly by saying it in falsetto. "Ma'am, the fact that there is Vodka everywhere says something else. Either your high or your a drug dealer." She said gruffly, trying to imitate a guy. "But sir! Look there's blood right there! It's hers!" "Put her under arrest, she can't even stand straight she's so high." She laughed at herself. "I'm insane, I'm talking to myself."
To the man what he saw after that was beyond surprising. He noticed during her monologue, that she was causing the ground under her to crack slightly. Could she have earth magic of some sort? At the moment it was looking a little like that Jura guy's magic. There was the passing thought that she could have his magic, as she was unintentionally cracking the ground due to her emotions. After he picked up his jaw, he planned on not following her anymore after she reached that village. But why would her mother lose her if she was killed? There's gotta be more to the story. After a while she started talking again, "Ugh, I have a headache just thinking about today." She groaned. "Let's see here, first my mom kills me to get tons of money left by the only man I can call a father. Second, I get saved from death by a deity. Third, I meet twins that are as opposite as night and day. Finally the crazy one launches me up to the clouds, then I free fall easily nine hundred feet, only to find out I was being protected." She summarized. "Yeah... I'm going to the mental facility."
For the second time today the man's jaw was on the forest floor, well he got the information that he needed. Either she really is crazy, or he misheard, the small chance that she did go through all that, was well a small chance. He left the girl only to see the destruction he caused, a good quarter of the forest's trees were either in half or were uprooted. He sweat dropped at the sight, and walked away trying to act like that wasn't him who did it.
