"Sophie. Why didn't you die?"


There was a large amount of silence that fell upon the room. Everyone had their eye peeled in my direction which made me start to get nervous. If anything bad happened, I was bailing out right away. I would move on to the next guild and try my luck.

I walked over to were Laxus was and stood so our noses almost touched. "Why didn't I die? Is that what you want to know so badly?" My voice didn't waver a bit and was filled with new found anger. He continued to look right at me and then took a step back.

"I thought that I took care of you months ago. That explosion should have killed you and you know it." His voice was static. That explosion did almost killed me, and I will admit it. The memories from that day were still quite cloudy. I had started to grab a hold of fragments of the memories a couple days ago and still can't piece anything together.

"Knock it off you two." This came from white-haired dude who was now standing in between us. "You may have some history but right now, none of that matters!" I sighed and turned on my heel. As I walked by, the white-haired man started to tail me. He was always a few steps behind me even when I reached the doors.

I turned to face white-haired man. "I am not joining this guild. Especially when he is here." I said, pointing my finger at Laxus. He took off his Santa hat and ran his fingers through his hair. "Please don't be that way. My grandson is an idiot and I apologies."

Pinkie walked in with white chick and blue cat. He looked at me and then to Laxus, who had his hands behind his back. Groaning, I started to form my sentence when he interrupted. "In my opinion, I believe that Sophie should not join the guild. With my past experiences with her, I believe that this would not be wise to invite her into the guild Makarov." That was white-haired dude's name!

The Makarov man had pulled Laxus off to the side and was talking with him in a harsh voice. I saw that Laxus was nodding but his face was ridden with anger. Maybe I should go to Saber-tooth or even Blue Pegasus and try not to face any drama. I reached for the handle, hoping that no one would see me leave. I knew they would though.

The door squeaked as I opened it and Pinkie turned his head in my direction. "Hoy, you! Stop!" Makarov turned to see me sneaking out the door. "Get her!" I heard them yell. Dang it!

I bolted out of the area of the guild, feet pounding on the ground. I had made it a pretty far distance away when I ran into an invisible wall. There was no exit to this invisible box either. "Please just let me go." I pleaded to no one.

"What happened after you 'died'?" Laxus turned around the corner. I looked at him and the scar coming from his forehead down to his cheek. I remember when he got that. I remember.

"I don't remember anything." I said, voice squeaking to come out of my mouth. He took a deep breath and then nodded to a person who was standing a the roof. He raised a hand and the invisible wall disappeared. Freedom was now mine! I debated on whether or not to leave and voted on staying. This was to see what would happen next.

I sighed in relief as walked up to Laxus. "What do you want with me?" That sounded really stupid.

"Look. You are joining this guild. End of discussion." He folded his arms. "On one condition. You will not tell anyone what happened on that day." I looked at his face to see that he wasn't even looking at me.

He turned and started to walk toward the guild hall. What would happen next? Laxus raised his hand into the air and started to wave in my direction. "Welcome to Fairy Tail."
