I am disappointed in you guys! Only 7 reviews? Well, it's better than none. Anyway, here's the winner!:
*drum roll...*
Eagleflame33! (we should have all seen this coming though XD). But because you didn't enter in a book in your review, you may enter in one on this chapter, or not enter one in.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Fairy Tail or Pepsi, wish I did though!
And now the story!
The three wizards walked down the hall of the top floor of Darastrix's apartment, Scarlet was staying as far away from the windows as physically possible
"Welcome to my home!" Darastrix yelled, kicking open the door to a small apartment. It was all organized perfectly, except for the splintered door that was hanging on only one of its hinges.
"You have to stop kicking your door down." Nicole commented, picking up the door (it looked like that wasn't the first time it was kicked down), she fit it back into its hinges.
"Ya, whatever." Darastrix sighed, grabbing a bag out from under a desk that was pressed up against the wall. Scarlet walked into the small apartment (still staying away from the windows), Nicole and Darastrix looked at her like she had just grown horns.
"Are you okay...?" Darastrix asked Scarlet, shoving a random t-shirt and pants into her bag. Scarlet nodded,
"Ya." she sighed. Then a Pepsi appeared in Nicole's hand, she took a sip.
"You're lying!" She said in a sing-songy voice, taking another sip. Scarlet snorted, then a black cat crawled out from her bag and sat down on her head.
"She hates heights." Dana explained, Scarlet looked up and glared at the Exeed.
"I told you before; I am NOT scared of heights!" she growled. Dana rolled her eyes,
"Ya, you already told me before." Dana sighed, then started to mimic Scarlet's voice "'I am not afraid of heights! I just don't like the weightless feeling when you fall, that's all!(OMG! I RHYMED! XD)'" Scarlet grumbled something about Exeeds not shutting up when you wanted then to most.
"Seriously? You hate that feeling?" Darastrix scoffed, "I love that feeling!" Scarlet snorted,
"That's where we're different." she sighed. Nicole shifted where she was leaning against the wall, finishing her Pepsi, she tossed it into a garbage can.
"Dara, you done yet?" Nicole asked. She spotted a fox emerge from the kitchen, a slab of beef in its mouth.
"Athena!" Darastrix cried, getting up to grab the meat from the mouth of the fox. "How many times have I told you not the raid the kitchen?!" Darastrix waved the beef in front of Athena's face, but gave it back to her once she started begging.
"Is that your pet?" Scarlet asked, starting to stroke Athena's back as the fox gnawed on the chunk of beef. Nicole nodded, zipping up her bag and slung it over one of her shoulders.
"Your place next?" Nicole asked, starting to walk towards the door. But then she stopped as Scarlet started laughing, Nicole and Darastrix both looked at Scarlet like she was insane.
"Scarlet, you okay?" Darastrix asked. Scarlet's laughed turned into a chuckle, then stopped, she nodded her head and lifted Dana into her lap.
"Ya, but you sure you want to go to my place?" she asked, kinda worried now "It's over a four weeks walk to my place."
"Where exactly do you live...?" Nicole asked tentatively. Scarlet shrugged,
"Don't know exactly, just that it's not inEarthland." she shrugged again, grabbing Dana, she stood up and walked over to the door (still avoiding the windows). "You guys are going, right?" The other two wizards nodded and grabbed their stuff, they hurried out the door.
They all stumbled into the train station, many people already crowding the train that had just arrived. Nicole stood up on her toes, looking over the thousands of heads there.
"He should be here somewhere..." she mumbled, then suddenly a boy with brown and silver streaked hair came over and tazed her(ya know, the thing where you shove your fingers into someone's ribcage and it is funny to see them cringe). "Jacob!" Nicole cried, whipping around to face him. She grabbed his ear and dragged him over to Darastrix, Scarlet, Dana, and Athena (she had stashed herself away right before they left). Darastrix sighed when she saw Jacob and Nicole come over.
"Looks like you found him." she said, then gestured to Scarlet. "Jacob, this is our new friend Scarlet. Scarlet, this is Nicole's brother Jacob." Scarlet and Jacob shook hands. Jacob signaled to Nicole and Darastrix, telling them he wanted to speak to them privately.
"Didn't she just join the guild?" he questioned them, "You are taking her on an S class mission! Do you even know what she does?" Nicole sighed,
"Jacob, yes she did just join the guild, but who said she would be doing any of the dangerous stuff?! And I was planning on asking her what she does on the train." Nicole growled. Scarlet wrapped her arms around Darastrix and Nicole's shoulders, a smile on her face.
"You guys know that the train is about to leave, right?" she asked. The other three wizards looked at each other, grabbed their bags, and ran over to the entrance of the train.
They all bustled on, earning a glare from the guy who was just about to close the door. They chose a compartment and sat down in the little booths, stuffing their stuff into the hidden compartments. Then the train started moving, slow at first, but steadily gaining speed.
"So, Scarlet, I was wondering what type of magic you use..." Nicole looked at Scarlet, surprise etched across her face. Scarlet had passed out in the booth she was shairing with Jacob.
"Is she okay?" Darastrix asked tentatively. Jacob shook the scarlet haired girl, Scarlet sat straight up.
"Wha-what happened?" she yawned, stretching, then her face became slightly tinged with green when the train shuddered.
"I was just wondering what your type of magic was." Nicole repeated.
"I'm a Blackfire Dragon Slayer." Scarlet said.
"That explains the motion sickness." Darastrix said, spotting Jacob scoot a little closer to the wall, she had to hold back a laugh.
"But why aren't you, like, you know, puking your guts out?" Jacob asked, scooting away so much that he was pressed up against the wall.
"Usually I go to sleep on vehicles." Scarlet shrugged, grabbing a pillow out of her bag and laying it behind her neck. "But before I go to sleep, tell me what your magic types are."
"I use Knight magic, so I can change my weapons anytime at will." Nicole said.
"I have Sound Wave magic." Jacob smiled, raising his hand and a song started to come from a glowing light in his palm.
"I am a Firestorm God Slayer." Darastrix smirked, raising her own hand to make it that black flames with grey lightning flickered off her fingertips. Scarlet nodded, half asleep.
"Wake me when we get to Bellum." she yawned. The others nodded, and started talking about how they should get rid of the bandits.
Scarlet groaned as the train came to a stop, she instantly woke up. Dana had shoved the pillow in the bag that was now sitting at her feet. Jacob, Nicole, and Darastrix were getting all their luggage together.
"Scarlet, you have the wake-up." Darastrix said, shoving a water bottle in her bag. Scarlet stood up and stretched, to be honest, that was actually her first time riding in a vehicle, and she did better than most Dragon Slayers could ever do.
"M-kay." she yawned, grabbing her bag and also Dana who was trying to fish out a cookie in their bag. "So, this is Bellum?" The streets were busy and a few stands stood outside of colorful buildings.
"Yup, but this isn't the town we need." Nicole said nodding her head at a magic mobile rental shop.
"Not another one!" Scarlet groaned, "I can walk!"
"No," Darastrix said sternly, grabbing Scarlet's pale arm and dragged her over to where Nicole and Jacob were trying to bargain with the rental guy.
"I'll give you 3,000 Jewel if we can rent a magic mobile for a week." Nicole offered, shaking a bag of coins.
"8,000 Jewel." the man grunted, holding some keys in his hand.
"4,000."
"10,000."
"5,000."
"20,000."
"6,000!"
"30,000."
Nicole leaned over the desk that was in between them,
"You know, there are many magic mobile rental places in Bellum, I could easily just walk away and go somewhere else." she snarled. Scarlet saw the man shudder from the look Nicole had given him.
"Okay, fine, how about 7,000 Jewel?" he offered. Nicole nodded, handing him the small bag of Jewel, she took the keys from his hand.
"Come on." she said, walking over to a magic mobile and started the ignition. She clamped the strap around her arm and the vehicle started up instantly. Jacob climbed into the car, almost getting the window seat, but then Scarlet stopped him from scooting in further.
"I think I should sit there." she mumbled, her face already turning green. Jacob cringed and went to the other side of the car, forcing Darastrix to be in between him and the Dragon Slayer. Scarlet instantly passed out as the magic mobile started to move down the road, Darastrix laughed at the look on Scarlet's face as she sat there, her head pressed against the window.
"Hey Darastrix?" Jacob asked, looking forward, but only managing to be able to see the back of Nicole's head instead of the road.
"Ya?" she asked, taking a sip from the water bottle in her bag. She handed Dana a granola bar as the Exeed started to rummage through Scarlet's bag again.
"When are the S class wizard tournaments?" he asked, grabbing a chocolate cookie from his own bag.
"In a couple of weeks, why?"
"I was just wondering."
"Let me guess, you are hoping to get to compete?" Darastrix grabbed a granola bar from her bag and began to eat it. Jacob smile,
"Yup!" he chuckled, placing his hands behind his head and using them as a pillow as he leaned back.
"What do you think the bandits will be like?" Darastrix asked, taking another sip from her water.
"They have to be pretty powerful to have that much cash on the request." he said, shrugging his shoulders. Jacob grabbed another cookie, "Hey, I want to try something." He wafted the chocolate cookie with peanut butter chocolate chips under Scarlet's nose.
"What are you doing?" Darastrix asked as Jacob leaned across her.
"I was wondering if she had a big appetite like the other Dragon- OW!" he yelled as Scarlet ate the cookie, accidentally biting his fingers. She hadn't even woken up. Darastrix burst out laughing,
"That's what you get for teasing a dragon." she scoffed, then grabbed a peanut butter cookie out of the bag on his lap.
"Hey!" Jacob growled, holding his fingers. There were teeth marks showing slightly where she had bit him.
"Thanks for the cookie." Scarlet yawned, licking her lips. "Did you make it?" Jacob just snorted and looked out the window.
"No," Darastrix answered for him, shooting Jacob a glare "Nicole makes them." Scarlet nodded, noting to herself to thank Nicole. She reached across Darastrix and grabbed the bag full of cookies.
"Want one?" Scarlet asked, Darastrix took a sugar cookie and took a bite. Scarlet herself grabbed one that looked like a regular chocolate chip cookie. She gagged as the cookie turned out to be an oatmeal raisin cookie, she chucked the rest of the cookie out of the window of the car. Darastrix burst out laughing and Jacob was chucking softly under his breath, obviously still mad about Scarlet biting him and stealing his cookies. Scarlet immediately passed out when the magic mobile lurched to a stop.
"We're here!" Nicole's voice sounded. Scarlet woke up and leaped out the window, not even bothering to open the door. Darastrix and Jacob calmly opened the doors, like civilized people.
"No more moving!" Scarlet cheered,
"I thought you where okay with vehicles?" Jacob asked confused, walking over to the side everyone else was on.
"I'm okay with it, but I still hate them." Scarlet said,
"You forgot your bag." Dana grumbled, flying out of the window and placing Scarlet's large bag in the redhead's arms.
"Thanks, Dana!" Scarlet smiled, rubbing the Exeed's head.
"Come on." Nicole sighed, grabbing her suitcase out of the trunk. Darastrix grabbed her bag, and Jacob grabbed a backpack.
