Next Chapter!
Enjoy!
Natsu and I spent the whole day together after he introduced me to all of the guild members. It turns out that He, Wendy, and Gajeel each had an exceed. Happy was very cute and sweet. Thunder and he got along pretty well. When Thunder told Carla about my visions and photographic memory, she was very interested, so she basically wanted to talk to me all day. Thunder and Pantherlily got along just fine. They even dueled with each other with their transformations.
Everyone was very nice and...Weird (in a good way).
"I should get going now..." I said, as I turned around to walk out of the guild hall.
"Are you staying at a hotel or something?" Natsu asked, rushing towards me.
"Magnolia Inn. Why?"
"I-I just want you to stay close to me…"
"Sorry," Thunder began. He flew up into Natsu's face. "But Chase has to go. We'll see you tomorrow." Thunder led me to the exit. I waved goodbye to Natsu and went out of the guild hall.
"Chase, stop thinking about him," Thunder said, as he plopped onto the hotel bed. "He doesn't deserve you."
I turned around to look at him and I blushed. "I-It's not like that, we're just childhood friends, that's all...nothing more."
"Chase, it's 11:30," Thunder changed the subject, "You should get to bed."
"There is no way in HELL that I am going to bed. The visions and dreams will come back."
"Well, you have to deal with them, because they're part of your life now, and you can't change that now."
I sighed and plopped myself on the queen sized bed next to Thunder. "Sometimes, you really tick me off." I said, petting Thunder on the head.
Thunder started to fall asleep, and I couldn't help it but to crawl into the covers and shut my eyes to fall asleep. I was ready for what visions were coming to me next...or was I?
I was standing on water, and I could lift my feet up. There was rain, pouring down on everything around me, but somehow the rain didn't land on me.
Fog was everywhere around me.
"Chase…"
I turned around to try and find who was speaking. A figure began to appear. It was a man with combed back black hair. He was very pale, and he was dressed like some sort of teacher. Once he got close enough to me, I could finally recognize the person in front of me. Tenma…
"What the hell do you want with me?!" I screamed, trying to get out of the water. But it was useless.
"You're wasting too much time. Complete your mission."
"There's no way I would ever do that! You're such a monster!"
"You swore that you would. Unless if you want me to-"
"NO!" I screamed, glaring at Tenma. "I'll never let you hurt Natsu!"
Tenma walked up to me and put his index finger under my chin. "You have seven days to decide."
"Decide what, exactly?"
Tenma started to laugh. He then waved his hand up in the air. A figure started to appear right next to him, lying on the ground. He looked like me, but yet a male version. Same dark brown hair, but yet really short and kind of spiky. Same tan skin. I couldn't see his eyes though.
He was dressed with dark blue jeans and blue glasses. It seemed as if he was all scratched up. He was out cold.
Wait...no. It could be.
I stared at the person lying on the ground. "Ryan…" I mumbled to myself, "You're...alive?"
"Yes, he is, Chase. Like I said, you have seven days to decide. Ryan or Natsu." Tenma kicked Ryan in the stomach.
"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HIM!" I yelled, struggling to get my feet off the water.
"Did you know that he's now a water Dragon Slayer? He started training after the fire in your village. It seems like it forgot all about you…"
I tried to fight back tears, but I failed. "R-Ryan…"
"Don't cry! There's no time for crying. Complete your mission, or else you'll never see Natsu or Ryan again. After all, Ryan is your-"
"RYAN!" I screamed as I stood up from the hotel bed. I was sweating a storm.
"Chase?!" Thunder said, as he began to wake up. "Is everything ok?!"
"Natsu...Penma...Ryan…"
"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa." Thunder walked up to me. "First of all, who the heck are Penma and Ryan?"
That's right. Thunder doesn't know anything about Penma or Ryan. He knew nothing about them and how they were in my past.
"I-It's nothing...just another vision. Go back to bed, ok Thunder?"
Thunder looked at me suspiciously, then went back to bed. I petted his head softly, feeling the touch of his soft yellow fur on my palms.
The next morning was odd. Thunder kept on staring at me. I kept on having these visions. In all of them I saw Ryan. I saw Ryan in Natsu.
"Yo, Chase?" Natsu asked, waving my hand in front of me. "You ok?"
I shook my head, trying to clear my head. "Yeah, I'm fine." I replied, trying to act as normal as possible. "Just a little tired."
Thunder rolled his eyes and then looked at me. "Well that's just a load of bull crap." he said, flying up at me. "You've been acting so weird ever since we came to Magnolia. Tell me, Chase. Are you hiding something?"
I blushed. What could I say? I couldn't just run away, so I needed to make an excuse.
"Sorry, Thunder. It's just that I'm-"
Suddenly, the guild doors slammed opened so loudly that you couldn't even hear a trumpet blast in your ear. Two men were standing in the doorway. They looked...menacing.
"Well, Neikan, look who we just found." the guy with the buzz cut said. "It's little Miss Chase."
"Pttf, I can't believe she decided to run away from us. Penma won't be very happen, right Fuzen?" the one with the Mohawk said, snarling and glaring at me. I knew that they were here for me...Penma sent then.
So, like it?
See ya! ~Ava
