Lies and Truths
A/N: So, I finished chapter 7 in the notebook, but I haven't finished chapter 8 yet, so I'm not sure when the next update will be. If I can, I'll post the next one soon after this, but, sadly, life tends to get in the way of fanfic writing/typing.
Anywhore, thank you for reading and thank your for all the reviews/likes/favorites. All of these things are much appreciated. Please leave a review; I love reading them, and I always reply as soon as I can.
Obviously I don't own Fairy Tail or any of the characters from the show. I only own Ali, EdoAli, and Fubuki. I don't even own Vi; a friend of mine does. I don't usually put a disclaimer on most of my chapters because most of this information is pretty obvious. For some reason I just felt like putting this here.
Now for the real reason you're here: the story! Much love to all readers.
Chapter 7: Talking with Myself
"So you both love magic," Alice asked as Aleksandr handed her and Violet cups of tea.
"Yes, Vince buys magic tools all of the time. Though he's mostly interested in the water magic tools," Aleksandr responded.
"I'm a water dragon slayer. Mommy's been teaching me," Violet said with a proud smile.
"So you're both," Aleksander beca to say but stopped and leaned closer to them. He whispered in a soft, low voice, "stay here until it's time for you to go. The Royal Henchmen may not know about you, but it would be best for you to stay here either way."
"You don't need to whisper; no one is outside, and trust me, we aren't going anywhere near a fight," Alice said.
"But Mama," Violet whined.
"No," Alice sternly said, glancing at her daughter.
"Good," Aleksander said. "I have no doubt in your abilities, but the king's men have their ways. Not to mention the fact that you've got someone to protect."
"I gave up fighting years ago. The closest I get to fighting is sparring with Vi for her training," Alice replied, staring at her tea.
"Can't we at least watch the fight," Violet begged her mother.
"If we get close enough to watch, we could get pulled into it, and you could be in danger," Alice said dismissively.
The companions talked for hours, then suddenly the small house began to shake like a bomb had detonated outside of it. Violet tried to run to the window to see what was happening, but Alice grabbed her by the arm and pulled her under the table, shielding her from falling objects.
"What the hell? Why are they fighting all the way out here," Vincent said. "I'll go see what's going on." He carefully made his way to a window, dodging the books that fell from their shelves on the walls. Just as he was about to reach the window, what seemed like a large explosion going off caused him to fall to the ground.
"Vince! Are you okay," Aleksandr yelled over the loud sounds of what they thought were magical explosions.
"I'm fine," his brother yelled back as he struggled to get up. He looked out of the window and froze in horror before running bucket the table as quick as he could. "We have to get underground! The floating islands are falling."
"Mommy, what's happening," Violet asked, afraid of what might come next.
"I don't know," Alice replied. When she looked down at the child in her arms, she noticed that the girl, Fubuki, and herself were glowing.
"Someone must be taking the magic out of our world, like the king did to yours," Aleksandr said, noticing that his magic gloves were glowing as well. "We need to get you three outside."
"Aw, that means we missed the fight," Violet pouted.
"Now isn't the time for pouting, Vi," Alice said, scolding her daughter before quickly picking her and Fubuki up, and running to the door.
Aleksandr and Vincent quickly followed her out the door.
Alice hugged the two brothers. "Thank you both for your help. I hope we can meet again," she said.
"From the looks of it, we won't be able to," Aleksandr said after hugging her back. He pointed to the green glow of magic in the sky.
"Mommy," Violet yelled as she was slowly pulled up by magic.
Alice quickly grabbed her daughter and Fubuki, who was also being pulled away, and tightly held them both. "It's okay," she said. "We're going home."
The three were pulled up towards the sky, waving to Aleksandr and Vincent. "Goodbye," they yelled in unison as they rose higher.
"Goodbye," Vincent and Aleksandr yelled back, waving to their Earthland-selves.
"Wait," Aleksander yelled to Alice. "I forgot to tell you about our parents."
Alice, who previously told them about the dragon who raised her, looked down at him in shock. "W-what?"
"It might help you find yours in your world," he yelled. "Their names are Viora Duskblood and Ac-" he said, but Alice had risen too high to hear the rest of the second name.
Alice and Fubuki's eyes grew wide upon hearing the name Viora. The two looked at each other in shock as they arrived in Earthland.
