LINGERING MEMORIES By: Mrs. Uzumaki -Dragneel

Chapter Seven: Tenroujima

I take a minute to take in my appearance; I am about 13 guessing by how I am dressed. I look around to try to see where I am. We are on an island? We are all wrapped in bandages? What happened to us? Then it clicked, No, anything. Anything but this day, I didn't have much more time to panic before my mind began entrapped in the thirteen year old mind I had. I was a prisoner to my own memories.

"There you go, all done Evergreen. You should be fine now." I flash the best smile I can at her despite that I am completely exhausted.

"Thank you Wendy, I mean it." Said Evergreen, which kind of shocked me she was normally so cold and barely said anything nice to people. I mean, it wasn't like she wasn't a nice person, I think she just a harder time admitting it than most.

"Alright everyone, let's go home, Back to Fairy Tail!" Master shouts jumping higher than I have ever seen him jump. I go to find Carla but she finds me first like always,

"Wendy, Let's go home" she says as she jumps into my arms. She circles for a second and lies down and closes her eyes falling fast asleep. Sometimes I forget just how young she is because she acts so motherly. It is in that moment I notice the black dot in the sky. I remember thinking that it was funny because I didn't think anything in the sky could be black. Then I realized it was moving.

I can hear it. Natsu and Gajeel can hear it. A horrible, horrible sound, a dragon's roar. This isn't the kind roar I hear growing up or even one Natsu or Gajeel would have heard. No, this dragon's roar is pure evil. The black beast was here, Acnologia was going to slaughter us all. I trip over a rock o the path causing Carla to tumble out of my arms, I instantly picked her back up, but she was already awake. I was trembling with fear. I was going to lose my family again, for the third time. This couldn't be happening, what did I do? What did I ever do to deserve losing my family three times? Why wasn't I allowed to be happy?

Master notices after he found that all three slayers had stopped in their spots and visibly lost all the color in their faces. It didn't take him long to find to source of our fear. That is when our counter attack began. I was terrified but I fought anyways. I wanted to have the power to keep my family. We thought we had a chance, but even our Dragonslayer powers were too unpolished. I mean what good were we if we could slay a simple dragon. Wasn't that what we were meant for? They weren't strong enough, we weren't strong enough. Master turned into a giant, holding Acnologia by the mouth to give a chance to escape.

At first we all ran towards the boat, towards safety. It almost seemed to happen at the same time, everyone stopped and turned around. We are Fairy Tail, not cowards we didn't run while someone sacrificed himself for us. We fought with them side by side and died together or won together. We couldn't let Master Markov face Acnologia alone; we wouldn't be able to show our faces at home. SO we did the Fairy Tail thing. We stood together and fought.

It seemed like hours. Soon we all started to run out of magic power. The mighty black beast flew off. Happiness flooded through everyone as we though he had flown away, discouraged by our stand. Then horror stuck, Acnologia circled the island a few time and then flew about 100 meters away. We had hope, for a moment we had hope. It didn't last long. The damned beast turned around and roared, violent and strong. I knew what it meant; we all knew what it meant. What else could we do but face it together? So we did, we held hands and prayed.

The dread was horrible; we waited and waited for the powerful magic to hit us. Every second you could feel your muscles tensing up; you could hear everyone's breaths and heartbeats. It seemed like hours but it was only a few seconds that had actually come to pass. It was like going up a rollercoaster and waiting for the drop. We just kept going higher and higher. It never seemed like it was going to go down.

I watch the black demon. I couldn't seem to look away, time had slowed down. I could almost see the beauty in the horrid creature taking my family from me. I watched as his monster wings went down and back up in rhythm with its strong heart. Thump-thump, I could hear its heart beating, or maybe it was mine pounding in my ears, I couldn't tell. The black holes it had for eyes, they seemed to stare at your soul looking for your darkest secrets, leaving you bare. The razor sharp teeth that were stained yellow and didn't properly fit in his mouth. His earsplitting roar that echoed in my head. The stream of black tornado cloud magic I could see hurting towards us, blocking my view at the black beast. I stood for impact, it never came.

"Wendy! Wendy!" called Bisca. Bisca? She wasn't here, my eyes shot open.

"What? What happened?" I asked. That's when I found out we had been stuck in an ancient spell for 7 years, Fairy ball. While it had seemed mere second to us, it had 7 long hard years for the family we left at home. I didn't lose my family this time, well not really. What was going to be left for me a Carla when we got home? Carla?!

"Carla!" I cry out in desperation, where was she. I start to panic, a few minutes pass and dread starts to fill my body until, "WENDY!" I hear and am tackled to the floor. I find a ball of white fur on my chest. I pet her small head and rub circles in her back; I could feel her crying into my shirt.

"Shh. Carla I'm here. We are safe." I managed to choke out but I was still trembling. I was still scared to the bone. I could remember every detail about the black dragon. The evil dragon, Acnologia.

I am brought back in to my own head as the memory fades from my head. I am back in the real world.

"Hahaha, you are trembling so bad I can hear the chains rattling." He sneers at me. I pay no mind, I was terrified. It was true. I was afraid. To this day I was still afraid of the black beast, Acnologia.
