Ok here's another chapter; I hope you like it; I've been thinking about couples and who to pair Sakura up with and I have a few thoughts in mind but that's to come for a few other chapters.
Read and Enjoy!
'Why don't you join the guild?' Lucy's voice rang inside Sakura's head
"Could I really do that?" she wondered to herself unsurely as she walked through the market place but she was hardly paying any attention to what she was doing; she needed this time a lot to think; think if it would be such a great idea to join the guild like her new friend had suggested.
Sakura felt her eyes about to water when she thought about the past; the only past that she knew now. When she was rescued and lived in a delusion for longer than she thought.
'Jellal' that name rang through her head
Sakura watched as the door opened full; she flinched back but she saw a women coming in rolling a cart with her; there was a tray and cup and a bottle of something else on it. She placed it beside Sakura's bed before bowing slightly to her and walking out again. Sakura sat there confused; then she heard a voice.
"That will be all; thank you" a strong voice said before the women disappeared around the corner and heard footsteps; when she looked up there was a young man with short spikey blue hair and brown eyes with a tattoo under his right eye. She could guess that he was the owner of wherever she was.
He walked into the room and Sakura couldn't help but tremble a little at seeing him; he was a bit intimidating but then something expected happened.
He smiled at her and walked closer until he was at the side of the bed "Don't worry; you're safe. How are you feeling?"
Sakura looked down at her hands "Better" she murmured
"That's good to hear" he said
"How did I get here?" Sakura asked carefully
"One of my workers found you in the forest near my tower; so they brought you here and I had someone tend to your wounds" he said softly
Sakura nodded "Thank you for helping me" she said
"If you don't mind me asking; how did you get here?" he asked
Sakura felt her head throb and shut her eyes "I…..don't know" she said; her hands started trembling "I can't remember; I can't remember how I got here or where I was"
He nodded slowly "I see; my name is Jellal; what's yours?" he asked
She looked at him with wide eyes and felt like she might cry "I-I don't know; I don't know; I can't remember anything"
She started hyperventilating; she couldn't remember anything; Jellal placed a hand on her shoulder "Calm down" he whispered "It's alright; you're safe; don't worry; take deep slow breaths"
Sakura did as he told her to and soon she calmed down.
"You may have amnesia" he said
She looked up at him in shock "What?"
"That would explain it" he told her and squeezed her shoulder gently "Just stay calm alright; you'll be alright. You're safe here; I promise you"
She nodded slowly; she didn't know why but she believed that what he was saying was true; the look in his eyes; it was as if he could never lie.
Sakura shook her head of the memory; she shouldn't be thinking about that it was all in the past now. It's been over two years since then and she wanted to burry those memories far away in the back of her mind even if they were her first.
'Come on Sakura you have a new life now' she told herself gently touching her neck where the tattoo mark was.
"No more" she whispered looking up at the sky; the sun had already begun to set; she was thinking a bit too hard and a bit too long it would seem.
Sakura looked around all over for Lucy; she wasn't in the town square anymore and Sakura didn't know where else to look for her.
"Where would she go?" Sakura wondered to herself; Lucy wasn't familiar with this place that was for sure and she said that she would wait for her.
"Mm" Sakura looked around and then she spotted a blob of pink and it wasn't her hair it was Natsu's
"Hey" Sakura called Natsu "What are you doing here?"
"Nothing" Natsu replied
Happy was looking over at the sea where there was a ship "That's where Salamander's supposed to have that big party"
Natsu narrowed his eye and held a hand to his mouth "Oh I think I'm going to be sick!"
Sakura looked at him confused as to why he was suddenly getting so sick.
"Natsu gets a bad case of motion sickness even thinking about transportation makes him sick" Happy explained to her
"Wow" Sakura shook her head; never heard of anyone having it that bad "Have either of you seen Lucy?"
"Lucy?" they both looked confused
"The girl that gave you the food" Sakura said rolling her eyes
"Oh Lucy; no we haven't seen her. Why?"
"I'm looking for her and I can't find her anywhere" Sakura told them
"Maybe Lucy's at the party" Happy suggested
Sakura shook her head "No way; why would she go there if she knows what kind of guy Salamander is"
Just when they thought they had hit a dead end there were a few girls walking and they caught wind of their conversation
"Oh Salamander's ship already took off"
"Aw; I wanted to go to"
"Salamander"
"You've never heard of him? He's a well-known wizard that came from Fairy Tail guild!"
Sakura and Natsu gasped "Fairy Tail?"
"Lucy; that's a nice name"
"Thanks"
Lucy was on Salamander's ship along with a few other girls; she was dressed in a fancy outfit for this event why because she really wanted to get into Fairy Tail and when Salamander overheard her he offered to put in a word for her with the guild master if she came to the party; she waited as long as she could for Sakura but time had run out. Lucy made Salamander promise though that he would tell the master to let Sakura join her as well and that they had to go back for her after the party.
She didn't want to but if it was the only way to get into the guild of her dreams then she was willing to get dragged to this party.
Salamander poured them drinks and then used his magic to make her drink float in the air "Let's start with a toast now open your mouth and taste as each drop enters"
'DISGUSTING' Lucy thought as she opened her mouth 'But I have to endure it for both my sake and Sakura's'
Then she noticed something and swiped the droplets away; Lucy stood up and glared at him "What are you trying to pull. That's drowsy magic; Sleep."
Salamander smirked "I'm surprised you noticed"
"Let's get something straight; it's no secret that I want to join Fairy Tail but I have no intensions of being your women!"
He chuckled at Lucy "What a feisty girl you are!"
The curtain opened and a few men came in carrying the women who were out cold.
Lucy looked around in shock trying to understand what was happening
"Welcome to my ship" Salamander said "I need you to stay quiet until we reach Bosco"
Lucy's eyes went wide "Bosco! What about Fairy Tail?"
"Forget about that girly; you're our merchandise now" said Salamander
"No way!" Lucy grabbed her keys but before she could summon anything a dark purple whip of magic took them from her and into Salamander's hands where he threw the keys out of the window and into the ocean.
Lucy clenched her fists; her eyes watering with tears as she thought that this man was actually from Fairy Tail; using magic to do evil that wasn't the kind of wizard she wanted to be!
Just then there was a huge crash in the ship and a hole was made in the ceiling; looking up Lucy saw Happy with wings and Natsu landed on the boat.
"Wait a go Natsu!" Lucy praised but the she saw him look queasy
"Oh I knew this wouldn't work" he said holding his hand to his mouth
Lucy gaped at him "You've gotta be kidding!"
Then she heard a familiar voice "Lucy; what are you doing on this ship?" Sakura asked
"Sakura; Salamander tricked me; he said he would help us get into Fairy Tail; wait a minute what the heck are you flying on?" Lucy asked starring at her
Sakura was standing on some kind of strange white circle
"Save that for later we gotta go" Happy said wrapping his tail around Lucy's waist and pulling her up
"After them" Salamander ordered his men "If they tell the council about this we're in deep shit"
They left the room and that's when Sakura landed down beside Natsu "Hey are you alright?" Sakura asked
"Yeah I'm fine; let's go" Sakura helped him up and brought him to the front of the deck where they were trying to shoot Lucy down but Happy managed to avoid them.
"Damn that cat's fast" Salamander scoffed
"HEY" Sakura shouted holding Natsu up
"Are you really from Fairy Tail?" Natsu asked angrily
Lucy and Happy had just barely managed to avoid Salamander's attacks before getting further from the ship
"I have to go back and help them" Lucy said
"Lucy; listen to me" Happy said trying to get her attention but the girl sure could talk a lot
"What is it?" she asked suddenly there was poof sound and Happy wings were gone "My magic ran out!"
The two of them fell into the water; as Lucy swam she spotted her gate Key and grabbed them quickly before surfacing along with Happy who was a bit out of it because he hit his head on a rock when he fell.
Lucy looked at the ship that was heading off and smirked "Time to party" she said raising one of her golden keys
"Open gate of the water bearer; Aquarius!" she summoned the spirit and women with a mermaid tail and blue hair appeared floating above the water with a jug in her hands.
"It's a fish!" Happy cheered
"Hell no" Lucy warned
"That was cool"
Lucy chuckled "I'm a celestial mage; I use keys to open gates and call spirts from another world" Lucy pointed out at the ship "Aquarius use your powers to bring that ship ashore"
The spirit clicked her tongue "You're an annoying little girl; next time you drop my key…..I'll kill you"
"Scary….." Lucy and Happy said together
Aquarius summoned a huge wave that sent all of them flying onto land and that included Lucy and Happy.
When the ship crashed everyone was trying to recover as fast as possible. Sakura landed beside Lucy and watched as her spirit vanished. Sakura stared at Lucy and helped her up.
"Are you alright?"
Lucy nodded "Yeah; where's Natsu?"
Sakura pointed to the ship that was now on its side; Natsu stood there looking so calm it was actually scary.
"You're a Fairy Tail wizard?" Natsu asked
"So what if I am?" Salamander asked "Get him"
"Take a good look" Natsu said taking off his jacket to reveal a sleeveless shirt
"Natsu" Lucy shouted in worry
"Don't worry" Happy said "I didn't tell you this early but Natsu is a wizard"
"Huh?" Lucy asked in shock
When the men attacked Natsu he knocked them to one side as if they were nothing and glared at the men in front of him
"I'm Fairy Tail Natsu and I've never seen you before!"
That shocked more than one person even Lucy and Sakura were surprised "Fairy Tail?" they were both shocked but they saw the mark on his arm and knew for a fact now that he was from Fairy tail because of the red tattoo on his shoulder.
"T-That emblem; he's the real deal Bora"
"I told you don't call me that!" 'Salamander' snapped
Happy narrowed his eyes "Bora; I heard of him; he was thrown out of his guild"
Natsu walked towards the men "I don't care whether you're good or bad but you won't get away with pretending to me from Fairy Tail!"
Salamander attacked Natsu with fire and there was an explosion
"Natsu!" the two girls screamed in alarm but happy help up his wings and stopped them from going any further
"Nasty" a voice was heard in the fire "Are you really a fire wizard? This fire tastes really horrible"
When the flame's vanished Natsu was standing in one piece without a single mark on him; then they realised he had just devoured the fire!
Natsu smirked "Thanks for the meal even if it was disgusting" he started walking over to them again "Now I'm fully energised" he said pumping his two fists together creating a magic circle; he blew out fire at the men creating a huge explosion and when the smoke cleared no one was left standing except for Salamander who got away at the last minute
"I've heard of this guy before…" one of the men said "He's the real Salamander!"
"Oh my god" Sakura gasped
Natsu clenched his fists as flames appeared around them "Remember it well; this is what a real Fairy Tail wizard is like!"
He went to attack Salamander
"Incredible" Sakura and Lucy muttered in awe
"Is this really magic?" Lucy asked
Happy smiled "Natsu has a Dragons Lungs to breathe fire; dragon's scales to extinguish flames; dragons claws wrapped in fire. This is an ancient spell that transforms parts of your own body into that of a dragon's it was originally used to fight against them. It's dragon slayer magic; Igneel taught it to Natsu"
Natsu blew one more fire breath at the fake Salamander sending him flying through town but when they looked around half the city was destroyed and the military was on their way.
"Oh boy" Sakura said staring at them coming towards them
Natsu grabbed a hold of Lucy and Sakura's wrist and pulled them with him as he ran through the streets
"Shit; we need to get out of here!"
"Wait; why are we getting dragged along" Sakura asked with a disdained face
"Because you both want to join our guild right"
The girl's eyes widened; Natsu smiled at them "So come with me"
Smiling back they started running along with Natsu "Sure"
There you go everyone; finally finished with another chapter working on the third and forth as we speak.
