...So I decided to upload all of the chapters that I have done so far, that way I can write and then transfer to the computer.
I just hope my parents and I can figure out why my laptop is not working :S (cross your fingers that we will find what is wrong)
Chapter 6: Orange
Levy woke up from her sleep, looking at the ceiling. She could feel the covers over her sprawled out body. Her hands rested a few inches above her rat's nest that she called her hair.
'My mouth is dry,' Levy thought as she closed her mouth to get her mouth moist with salvia again.
"Levy?" a familiar feminine asked.
Levy turned her face to whoever had called her. She saw a young woman with short light green hair; she had light brown eyes, pale skin, and a large light blue cape that was held by a pin that sat at the base of her neck.
"Morning Levy," the woman smiled
Levy gave a slight frown, still groggy from just waking up 'who was this woman and how did she know my name?'
Then it finally hit her like a ton of bricks, 'woman I do not know! Back away!' Levy scrambled out of bed, spending the sheets and covers flying on the ground. She was on her feet, in a ready stance just in case she has to make a mad dash out of the room.
"Calm down sweetie," the green haired woman said.
"H-how do you know m-my name?!" Levy shrieked.
"Please…clam down," the woman said raising her hands to show Levy her palms, trying to tell the panicking girl that she means no harm.
"A-Answer m-m-my question…" Levy shuttered
"It's me, Ellie Greenwood," the green haired woman said.
Levy felt like she was being lied to and was about to snap. "…W-what…H-H-how?!" Levy asked.
"And that's what I going to explain," Ellie trying to reassure Levy still.
"I-I," Levy stuttered as she ran her fingers through her knotted rat nest hair, trying to understand the situation that she was in.
"Why don't we go walk around for a bit and I will gladly explain," Ellie said giving a small smile.
Levy stared at the woman with her mouth slightly ajar and almost robotically levy nodded.
Ellie gave a bigger smile, "I'll wait just outside of the room," pointing outside of the door.
Levy nodded again as Ellie went open the door to leave the blue haired girl standing there. The door closed with a soft 'click'. Levy waited about a minute before she began to panic.
'What is going on?!' Levy asked herself as she ran her fingers through her hair again.
She paced around the room for a minute until she walks to the door; she slowly placed her hand on the handle. 'You can do this, Levy,' Levy told herself. Hesitantly, she opens it and sees Ellie standing like she said she would before she left the room.
Ellie was giving Levy a small smile trying to reassure Levy to the best of her abilities.
"Explain…now," Levy trying and failing to sound to serious.
Ellie's smile turned a bit weak then nodded, "follow me please,"
Ellie began to walk out of the common room and into the library.
The two walked together in silence for a few minutes until Ellie broke the silence, "Did you know," the green haired woman began, "That this library is enchanted?"
Levy gave a slight frown, "No," Levy dead panned.
'I'm acting more like Gajeel…why?!' Levy mentally asking herself
Ellie had a small sweat drop form on the back of her head but she continued, "Well," Ellie tryng to give Levy a small smile, "Long before I came, a powerful mage created a powerful rune barrier that surrounded this library to protect it,"
Levy was beginning to soften a bit and raised a curious eyebrow, "Why?"
Ellie gave a small sigh, almost like she was going to regret it, "There is a small rumor," she began no longer looking at Levy and was paying attention to only looking to what was ahead of her, "I'm not sure if it's true, but the mage was supposedly a dragon slayer."
Levy's eyes went wide, 'A dragon slayer?'
"…And throughout his life, he collected books. So he created his own library to place all his books," Ellie gesturing to the library, "Some books were for fun and pleasure; some were for information and spells." Ellie said, and then her demeanor drastically changed. The green haired girl stopped walking, making levy stop just short from bumping into her back. Ellie looked back at Levy; Ellie's eyes looked slightly clouded and angry.
"But, there are some books…that should be burned and should be forgotten. He created a powerful spell to protect it and it will last till the test of time…" Ellie finished.
Both stood in silence for a moment until Levy broke the silence, "What kind of-"
Ellie cut Levy off by giving Levy an even darker look, the glare startled Levy.
"It's dark, too dark for mere humans, animals, and dragons to handle," Ellie hissed at Levy.
Levy was frozen, 'how dark were these spells?' Levy asked herself.
"Nod if you understand not go seeking these books out…" Ellie asked still with an angry look in her eyes.
Levy nodded
Ellie's face dramatically softened, "Good, now will you allow me to show you something?"
Levy gave another nod.
Ellie smiled, "Follow me," she turned around and began to walk when she noticed that Levy was not following her, "you coming?" she asked
There was a strange delay for Levy, her legs did not want to listen. It was almost like a small voice or it was something was telling her to run, not toward Ellie, but away. Levy tried to reassure herself but her legs didn't want to listen and move right away and her mind began to blur a bit.
"Y-yeah," Levy managed to say
Ellie nodded and began to walk as Levy followed. The girl was lost in her own thoughts, 'a powerful script dragon slayer decided to seal the library…how in Mavis does this explain the age of Ellie?'
"Levy?"
Levy snapped out of her day dream, "y-yes?"
"Were you paying attention?" Ellie asked
"S-sorry, c-can I ask you something?" Levy asked nervously.
"Of course, what is it?" Ellie said.
"How are you so young now…but you weren't last night?" Levy asked.
Ellie gave a bit of a forced smile, "the mage, when he produced the barrier, realized that he hasn't read all the books, placed a spell. So that you are young by day and do not age, but at night you continue to age and show your true age…but this spell is also one of the dark spells that you should not seek out."
Levy nodded, understanding that she should not press matters such as the dark magic in the library…but that raised other questions, why was there so much talk about dark magic and why don't they try and get rid of it?
Ellie stopped at a very large current and grabbed a tassel, "You would enjoy this," Ellie smiled quickly changing the subject.
Levy blinked a few times at Ellie as the woman smiled broadly.
Ellie then quickly yanked the tassel. The currents opened revealing a large window that showed a beautiful beach with pretty light blue water that crashed against the light yellow sands. The palm trees that rested a couple yards away from the water as light ocean wind moved the leaves.
Levy's eyes widened, "That's beautiful," she murmured to herself.
Ellie nodded with a smile on her face.
Levy's fingers feathered the glass of the window. She wanted to touch the ocean that was on the other side. She looked around the window to see if she could open it, which it didn't take too long to see that there were two door like nobs in the center of the window. Levy reached for one of them when her wrist was grabbed.
Levy froze, she held her breath and followed the arm to what she thought look like a younger Yama.
"Yama," Ellie said with a slight surprise in her voice.
Yama's hair had short spikey bleach blond hair and eyebrows to match. His eyes were brown with a tint of green near the pupils. As for the rest of Yama's face, his nose was wide and flat, his lips looked pale, thin, and chapped. His robe was a red and a pin held it at the base of his neck.
"Ellie," Yama said sternly, "I thought you would have explained everything by now,"
Ellie was about to speak but Yama interrupted her.
"I will finish from here," Yama said as he stood up straight, letting go of Levy's wrist so he could clasp his hands behind him and stared Ellie down as if she was nothing but an insect.
Ellie took a quick out take of air though her nose and walked away without saying a word.
Yama's attention finally went to Levy.
Levy's stomach did a flip.
"Ms. Levy, follow me," Yama order.
Levy obeyed, not wanting to get stared down like Ellie and be left behind.
She followed him uneasily; very fiber of her being was screaming, 'run' and 'get away'
After several turns, going down some stairs Yama stopped at a door. He turned his head to look at Levy. His eyes looked dark and cold. Then he turned his head back to the door.
"I'm not sure if you know this or not," Yama began, "but the library chose you,"
Levy frowned at the statement, although she did not reply.
"I know it's hard to understand…heck, I barely understand it myself…but it is true," Yama said with a nod.
Levy was questioning Yama and she was so much in thought that she did not hear that Yama had asked her a question.
"Levy?" Yama asked.
Levy laughed nervously, "I'm sorry…I did not catch that…"
"I asked what your favorite color was…"
"Oh…" Levy said before she thought for a moment as she gave a slight frown, "I like the color orange," Levy finally said looking up at Yama.
Yama gave a small nod and turned to the door. He opened it and to Levy's surprise, it as a closet full of colorful robes of all lengths.
Yama pulled an orange robe and gave it to Levy.
Levy took the robe, throwing it over her small shoulders. Levy looked down at her feet, the ends of the robe fell past her feet and the extra material surrounded her.
Yama sighed, "That's the smallest we have…maybe Leah can fix it,"
Levy raised an eyebrow, "Who is Leah?" Levy asked as she took off the robe off, giving it back to Yama.
"She's a friend of mine," Yama said grabbing the robe from Levy.
Levy nodded and saw Yama closed the closet door with one hand, turned to smile at the small blue hair mage, and the waved at her. He walked away, leaving Levy standing there.
...Well, you got some answers...but there are still more questions...who is the dragon slayer? And why is there is dark spell on the library?
