This is crazy how fast I was able to finish this chapter. Though it doesn't have as many words as chapter 1. It is done earlier. It is also crazy that this story has a follower and is favorited already. In fact, the same day that I posted it.
So, thanks to
sassyluvr
For that it made me pretty happy to see that so soon after posting the story.
With that note done, I don't and never will own Fairy Tail.
On to chapter 2 of Colliding Worlds.
~Chapter 2~
{Riley's POV}
Mister Dreyar had introduced me to the rest of the guild. Of course, first he had to calm the guild down. Which took morphing into a giant and almost crushing a few people for them to stop fighting and pay attention to the old man.
Once that was over I talked to some of the other members. Including a small girl with blue hair named Levy. She was cute and loved to read. MiraJane the girl behind the bar earlier. She was quite attractive and loved to matchmake her guild mates. At least I had been told that she did so. Natsu was the pink haired boy I had seen earlier. He was rather dense, stupid, and quick to fight. Gary is the other boy who was fighting against him. He has a habit for stripping and walks around in just underwear all the time. One of the last ones that stuck with me is Laxus who was on the top floor the entire time. He seemed very bored and uninterested in the world in the same way I was in my old world.
Natsu had left to go investigate some rumor about a Salamander. Whoever that is? I was told that this Salamander is supposed to be Natsu's father figure. I was also told that Natsu has told them that this Salamander is a dragon. What idiot would think that there is a dragon walking through the middle of a town or city.
A while later I sat by myself in the guild listening to the stories the members were telling each other. I felt weird in this world. I didn't know anybody or anything they talked about. Even the simplest of things that they talked about.
So that is why I aren't talking to them. I also don't want questions about myself or where I come from. I don't really want to answer them right now. I need time to figure things out. Maybe take a mission to do so. Which is something I need to do anyway because I need the money.
So that is what I did. Walked up to the board picked a simple mission and went to Ms. Strauss (AN: MiraJane) to get the mission approved.
"I would like to take this mission." I said handing her the request form. She takes a quick look at it.
"Don't you want to get to know your fellow members?" She asks me as she looked over the mission request form.
"I need money before anything. I don't have any right now. Otherwise I would do so right away." I explained. What I said is true, but it is just an excuse to get away for a while.
While on my way to the train station I looked at the request. It was simple in theory. I was to keep an old man company for a while for 20 thousand jewels. Weather that is the amount of worth that the jewels or the currency of this place I am not sure. It would make sense either way depending on the advancement of the technology in this world.
When I arrived at the village like place where this man lived I noticed that a hoard of people stared at me. I also noticed that majority of the houses in the area where old and almost falling apart. A few nice-looking ones stood among the others.
I arrived at one of the nicer looking houses in the area. This is where I am supposed to meet the person who put the request out. The outside is white with four windows on the front, Two on each side of the building. Stone stairs led to a wood door painted white.
I knocked and soon heard footsteps leading to the door. The door opened to reveal a young woman looking about 23 or 24. She had long black hair going to her mid back with dark green eyes. She was a bit shorter than me and I stood at about 5 ft 8 in. Though my hair makes me look taller.
"Welcome, are you the mage that accepted my request?" She asks. I nod at her question. Not feeling like speaking this very second.
"Well, I am Rachel. Thanks for accepting the request." I notice things that make her seem guilty of something.
"What's the request really about?" I ask her. Her eyes widen in surprise. Her face quickly changes to confusion. "Did you really think I wouldn't find out that something is fishy about this mission? Well I did, and I want to know what I am actually going to do."
"Well I need you to protect this man. Hopefully without him finding out about you protecting him." There it is. She most likely did something to get this man on someone radar in a bad way. She felt guilty about it and wanted to protect him from those people. At least that is how it could have gone.
The man is older than most people in the area. A lot of the people here hold him in high regard. A man that is well known and well liked throughout the area. He seems generous and kind to all. He gets along with kids well. All around he seems kinda fake. Like he wasn't meant to act like this. I don't know what makes me think this, but it is highly possible that he is like me in ways that neither of us could possibly understand at the moment.
The day ended, and three people had been caught and arrested for attempted murder. All of them being mages and rather weak at that. I talked to the requester and she said that should be all the people. Which raises the question. How did she know how many there were supposed to be?
"So, what did you do?" I asked her. Now serious after the joke of a fight the three mages put up.
"What do you mean?" She says trying to avoid answering my question.
"You know exactly what I mean. What did you do? Mind you I will not ask again!" I am angry at this point yelling at the young lady and all. She sighs and turns away from me.
"I might have let a secret slip out that I shouldn't have. When I did so I saw three people running away after the little mishap." She says still facing away from me. Seems like she is still lying, but why does it matter to me. She seems to be guilty about it. So, all should be well from here on out.
"I'm sorry about yelling at you, but you really should get better at lying in front of someone like me." I say calm, but the deadly kind of calm. More like the calm before the storm type of calm.
She looks stunned as I turn walk out the door and make my way to the train station to return to Magnolia.
~End of Chapter 2~
Something else that is crazy is that somehow, I managed to post the first chapter of this story exactly one year after chapter one of my first story was posted.
With that said, still don't expect updates that quickly. I just happened to have a lot of time with nothing to do this past week. Also getting a follower and someone to favorite this story the day it was posted helped me want to get this out quicker. When it took almost a month to get one of either a follower or someone to favorite on my first story.
Thanks for reading,
