The fairy flew around quickly, panic written all over her face. The tugging had led her to a very snowy place that she had thought was very peaceful. Then, it had shown up.
A demon. A very large demon.
It stood amid the ruins of a town, no doubt one it had destroyed. This only furthered her want to flee, to go as far away as possible and hide. But, the tugging was coming from in the town's ruins…she couldn't just leave. Even though, she really did not want to stay with that thing nearby.
Taking a deep breath, the fairy steeled herself and flew with blinding speed towards the town. There was no simply ignoring the tugging. It would only start to hurt if she did. Weaving in between buildings, she found what the tugging wanted her to.
There stood a young woman, her leg made of ice, talking to a boy behind her. Tears streamed down the boys eyes as the woman stepped…towards the demon. The fairy's mouth dropped open in shock. No sane human would fight a demon alone! But, the fairy looked towards the boy, realization dawning. After all, she knew the lengths a human would go to for their loved ones. This human was not insane, just a mother protecting who the fairy assumed was her son.
Another part of the path she wished she could change. If only, but she knew she could not. For one, she could not take on a demon and live. And secondly, she could not change the path.
Struggling to swallow past the sudden lump in her throat, the fairy resigned herself to watching the tragic scene play out.
The woman took a stance, cold magic swirling around her. Her mouth moved, but the fairy could not hear the words shouted, instead she watched as the boy shouted for the young woman. His hand stretched towards her, as if he could pull her away and save her, before collapsing to his knees. Their words to each other were once more lost on her, but she felt as if she could understand. They were saying their final farewells.
-Line Break-
She followed him after the scene with the boy Lyon. It wasn't that she thought he couldn't make it on his own, but she was loathe to leave him after what happened. She felt he needed to not feel alone, but she wasn't sure she could do that. Though, that didn't stop her from petting his head while he slept. Yes, she knew that was a bit creepy, but she wasn't quite sure what to say to him.
Because of this, she decided to sing. Her voice was soft and she was careful not to wake him, but she hoped maybe it would let him know that he wasn't alone. Instead of starting at the beginning though, she remembered one particular part.
"Now it's snowing, keep going, be honest, keep smiling because we're approaching, the clock keeps on ticking, and it never stops. Hey fairy where you going, I'm trying to assemble all this light. I'll shine it down and make tomorrow bright."
Oh, how the fairy wanted to continue with the boy, but she knew she couldn't. There may be other places she would need to go, and getting too attached would not be good. Though, she had already gotten sort of attached to him and Cana. That caused her to sweat drop. Yeah, she needed to leave son.
"Stay safe, Gray, and may the fairies guide you to a place filled with smiles and laughter. Where you can have a family who will always watch over you and hits you when you try to do something dangerous by yourself." She paused, not expecting to have said that last part.
Well, she never did completely understand why she said some of what she said, but it was all for a reason. Not that she would understand right away. Who knows, maybe that is what his friends will do. Chuckling slightly, the fairy left Gray, never seeing the slight smile on his lips.
A/N: For some reason, I really wanted to post another chapter today so I did, but this will not happen normally! Just a little warning. I'm sometimes bad about updating so just a warning.
Sister of the Shadow Stars – I'm so glad you like it so far and I'm glad you think so! :) Hopefully I won't disappoint in the future. I've thought of some good moments for future chapters, but I'm not sure if others will think they are as good.
