CHAPTER 2
"Will he live?" Came a deep voice, it was worried.
"Well, he better. He killed all of those monsters, I want to fight him."
The second voice was loud and excited, like someone ready for a fight, someone who like to fight. Someone grabbed me by my shoulders.
"You hear me. You better get better soon and fight me!" said the second voice shouted while shaking me, with his freezing cold hands.
"This is not the time for this!" The first voice yelled at the second voice.
"You want to fight too? Well come on!" The second voice yelled back
The air got really hot at the top of my body while the air at the bottom of my body felt very cold. Whats going on? I know i'm not dead. Pain tells you if you're alive, and I could fell bundles of pain throughout my body. I opened my eyes, but they were already closing. I tried again and they stayed open this time. In front of me there were two young men. The one near my feet had spiked black hair, dark blue eyes, a tattoo on his right chest and he was half naked! He had black jeans on with a chain coming out of his pocket. The one near my head had a bright pinkish redish hair, black eyes and the same tattoo as the other man had but on his right shoulder. The tattoo was the same as Wendy's. They were both lean and muscular and looked like they could wipe the floor with me in a fight.
"Whats going on in here!? You two need to stop fighting. Its the end of the damn world out there and you two want to fight each other!"
A tall slim young women walked in the room, she had red scarlet hair and brown eyes. She was wearing armor on that had the same image as the tattoo on the two men in the room.
"No, no we weren't fighting. Were we buddy?" Asked the pink haired man
"Nope we weren't." replied the Black haired man.
"Behave you two!" She ordered as I blank out again.
A sudden burst of pain came and juddered me awake. The pain felt like sharp need needles that were piercing the areas where I was stabbed.
"Stop. Please stop." I pleaded
"huh?" Came a small voice that sounded like a girl.
I could feel the breath of a person of a person breathing on my forehead. Suddenly there was rustling and the person left. As the pain slowly decreased, I started to open my eyes.
As my eye's opened slowly I could see a tall woman with long scarlet hair standing over me. She had armor on. The armor was that of an old knight's armor from the dark ages but with no chainmail, and more plated, flat design. On the left side on the armor there was a sideways cross with a symbol under it, the exact same as the tattoo on the two men earlier. She also had a short blue skirt on that was partially covered with some armor from the chest plate. She also had long black boots on. Her eye's were closed. She had a plain look on her face.
"Hello. Who are you?" I asked
Suddenly her eye's opened and had the look of pure hate and anger, that I was all too familiar with.
"Who are you and where are we?!" She ordered angrily
"I-I am FallMite. I'm guessing we are in the middle of Nebraska near the Rocky mountains" She caught me off guard, with her anger.
"What country?!"
"The United States of America."
"There is no country named United States of America! Why are you lying!?" She had the same look of anger but now her face was showing signs of fear. Why does she not know about America? Whats wrong with her?
"I am not lying. Please tell me your name ." My voice was now getting stronger.
"You're not lying?!" She yelled softly
I nodded my head.
"Fucking hell!" There was a long pause then she turned toward the door and started to walk out. She stopped at the door frame.
"My name is Erza Scarlet." She said with almost no emotion, then she left.
Erza Scarlet. I kept repeating the name in my head. Why does it sound so familiar, why? A few minutes passed by. I started to get up, then a burst of pain came again but only in my ribs. God! I think I broke another rib. I was now sitting up in the bed that I was laying in. The pain died away, and I started to stand. A burst of pain came again. I slowly made my way to the door. Every step took one ton of effort, in exchange for two tons of pain. I finally reached the door.
The door lead to a small hallway. I entered the hallway and instantly I seen the picture of a family covered in dry, dark red blood. Behind the blood the family was smiling, they were at a park. A mother, father, son, daughter. I my eyes started to get blurry. I blinked and felt something wet flow down my cheek and hit the floor. A tear drop. I looked to the left and right of the picture. To the Right was a few more rooms but to the left were stairs. As I walked to the stairs I started to hear voices.
"Wait you mean that we are not in our world again?" Came a strong male voice
Again?
"Correct." came the voice of Erza
"Are we in Edolas?" Came another male voice
"No. From what he hasn't said earlier, and the clothes that he has, with the technology that we seen. I say we are not in Edolas."
I started walking down the stairs. The stairs ended near what looked like the front door of the house that I was in. For some strange reason I could not leave. I would not let myself leave. But instead I headed toward the voices.
"So where are we?" came a small voice of a girl that sounded like Wendy.
"He said we are somewhere in Nebraska in the country called America." said Erza
I entered the room that they were in. It was the house's dining room. There were six people in the room, three men, Erza, and Wendy and the girl I saved earlier. All at once they looked at me. The spike pink haired man had a muscular body and was wearing a black jacket slash cloke that partly opens as it reaches his waist. He also had orange out lines on his jacket. He had baggy plain tan pants, with a black bandana on each leg that help his pant cuffs at his knees. He had sandals on. Natsu.
The dark haired man had a white over coat on out lined in blue. His shirt had a gray x on his upper chest surrounded by dark red. He also had dark blue jeans on with a chain coming out of one pocket. Around his neck was a necklace shaped in a sword. Gray.
The girl that I helped save from the freaks, Lucy. Lastly a great, big man with slicked back hair and with what seemed to be a dark blue sweatshirt with the sleeves cut off and out lined in light blue, where the cut was taken. The top and bottom of the sweatshirt was outlined in white. He was wearing purple pants and had a scar shaped like a lightning bolt going from the top right of his forehead to his eye and down his cheek ending at his mouth. Laxus.
The names coming to me as I look at each of these appearances then something clicked.
"You're Fairy Tail." I said with some hysteria.
"So you're the one who saved Lucy, and Wendy." Said the man that looked like Gray, in more of a statement than question.
"Yes we were Fairy Tail members." Said the man that looked like Laxus
"No, no you're not Fairy Tail. Fairy Tail is a fictional guild in a fantasy comic book and T.V. show." I said growing more hysterical
"Cut this crap out we are Fairy Tail." Said the men that looked like Natsu
"hu." I looked over to the woman that I helped save earlier, Lucy. She had a puzzled look on her face.
"Okayy well you have the characters down all right. And why are you not trying to kill me?"
"What do you mean? We come from a fictional comic book?" Asked the woman who looked like Lucy
"You're not lying are you? You really are Fairy Tail." My hysteria faded as my heart started to beat faster and faster.
"What do you mean we came from a fictional comic book?" Lucy repeated as I started to sit down on a chair.
"There is a type of story book call a manga it's japanese. Well its is just like a story book but has pictures. The manga was called Fairy Tail. After it got very popular it was made into a T.V. show, or anime."
"What is T.V.?" Asked Ersa
"You know how there are lacrimas that record and play live events?"
"Yes" They all said at once
"Well that is just like T.V. but some T.V. shows are not recorded but made like a picture. Then those pictures change at a specific speed to where it gets a smooth flow it it."
As I stopped talking, an emptiness filled the room. I could tell that they were trying to figure out how this could happen, and why.
"Are you saying our story was told in a book and T.V show?" Said Natsu
"Well, yes. That would also explain why Laxus and Erza are not trying to kill me, and you."
"Why would I try to kill you?" Asked Laxus
"By now Wendy has told you about the freaks. The cannibal people, no hair, very pale, with red spots near bruises, who attack Lucy earlier. Can hardly say there people now. Anyways about two years ago everyone sixteen years and older was infected by something that caused them go insane and try to eat any non infected. And since you're not infected, you two are the oldest humans on earth." I said in a darker tone
"Wendy, Lucy, why couldn't you save yourself. I know you can use magic in this world."
"Yes, but the level of magic has been reduced like in Edolas, but not as much here. It takes time to get used to." Said Lucy
"I spent almost all my magic healing you the first time. Thats why I could only support during the fight, but you didn't need the support." Said Wendy
"That makes sense. Did the attack of ten thousand dragons and the other Lucy's death really happen?" I asked and instantly I regretted it. Erza gave me a terrifying look or anger. An instant later there was a sword in her right hand. The sword just appeared from a short flash of white light.
"How do you know this? It just happened a day ago." Ersa growled as she raised the sword to my neck. I looked at her face and. I seen a scared, no terrified look with a small mixture of hate on her face.
"How do you know this!?" She said again but a little louder.
Fear started to take control of me and I could not move. all I could do was look into her terrified and hatred filled hate.
"It's ok to be afraid and scared as long as it doesn't change how you are." I said.
Her look change as if I said something important to her.
"It was the last episode aired, before this happened. What happened that change you so much Erza. Did you lose someone or are you just in shock?" I asked
"You don't know anything." She said while turning around with the blade disappeared in the same wight light.
"I know that at a young age you and three friends got kidnaped, after your parents were murdered. I know that you blame yourself for Simons death and the old man that taught you magic. I know that you only want enough power to protect your family." The details coming back to me as I kept talking.
"I know that you would willingly give your life for your comrades and you have tried to many times, but failed because of them and many others that love you like family." I declaimed.
They all had a shocked look on there face, because what I said was true.
"You want to know what happened? I'll tell you Makarov is dead. I was the one who killed him." Her voice dropped from being angry to mournful as she spoke. The rest of them were silent.
"He gave me no choice it was either him or the entire guild. My entire family." She said while starting to cry.
"You're not alone with that choice." My voice lowering remembering the past.
"There are many survivors who had to sacrifice their brothers, sisters, mother, and father to keep others alive. Come with me and I can give you another reason to live again." I said as I got up from the chair I was sitting on.
"How is that?!" Asked Erza with some anger in her voice.
"I know you like to protect innocent people that are in danger. My people are far from safe, but safer than most. I… I would like you to help me, save as many survivors as possible." I started to walk out the door from which I came and went the other way. Then Lucy started to speak, "Juvia is missing right now, but me and Natsu will go back with you as a sort of escort and check out your guild."
"Its not a guild but a settlement. Either way thank you. Hey maybe Juvia found my friends and have taken them back to my home. And Wendy thank you, for healing me." I said
I exited the building, the sun was straight in the middle of the sky, its about twelve o'clock. I looked back and seen that it was a small two story house. I looked back to the street I started to walk. As I got to a stop sign, I looked up, the paint was coming off but it said. "Saint Mary ST."
"Hey we are only a few miles from home." I said happily and the two nodded in return.
As I turned to walk home, the pain in ribs worsen. Suck it up Fallmite you've been through worse. Yay like wrestling with a broken rib for two weeks. And I laughed a little at myself.
"You ok?" Asked Natsu
"Just in a little pain. But Natsu when I heal up your on." I said somewhat jokingly and somewhat serious.
