Authors Note~ I am so sorry for taking so long to get this chapter out. I've been busy with school and work. I had planned to get the chapter out earlier. I hope you are enjoying my story so far. Please review!
Flames POV
I watched as Reason walked away from the freshly dug grave. Even though I had been with her almost the whole time sense Wade had died, she has barely noticed me. I've only seen her like this once and that was when Emerald died. She starts walking to the hotel and i follow. We are silent the whole way. When we got to the hotel, Reason went into the room and quickly packed her stuff. She forgot to take off her black hair wig though.
I activated my aerial magic and picked her up when she came back outside. I started to head to Mongolia. This would be easier and faster then taking the train back. After awhile of flying, I realized that she had fallen asleep. I don't know how with the rain pouring down on us. Soon the storm got worse and spit us out of the sky. We landed in a forest near Mongolia. I haven't a clue what lurks in this territory, so, I should be careful.
I dropped Reason when I had gotten my wings tangled in the branches of a tree. I squirmed out of the branches grip and landed on the ground near a rose bush. I look for Reason to find that she had fallen into the bush. I quickly pull her out, minding the thorns. Even though we flew through the pouring rain and are still getting rained on, she is still covered in blood. Hers and Wades
I look over her skin to see if she had any injuries. Her arms and legs were scratched and bruised from the fall but nothing too serious besides the slightly deep cut on her left leg. Her cheek had a deep gash in it and blood covered her face and had leaked into the black wig she still wore. Her skin had paled from the blood loss. This isn't good. Theres got to be another place she is losing blood too. I push up her shirt to see if she had a wound there. It had not been scratched by the fall but it was indeed injured. The skin was raw and blistering ware the dark guild mark had been. She must have burned of the mark when I wasn't looking. I gently put down her shirt and carefully I rolled her over. I moved her cloak to find the back of her shirt torn and drenched in blood. There was a deep cut across her shoulder blade. It kinda reminds me of the place where wings should go on humans.
I need to get her to the guild. She is still wearing the wig so her identity is still good. The rains was starting to let up, so, I gently grab Reason and started to lift her up into the sky. She yelps in pain even though she is still asleep. I flew as fast and carefully as my wings would let me. I soon arrived at the doors of fairy tail. I notice that the wig wasn't properly on and some of her golden hair was showing so I put up her hood just in case.
As I burst through the doors, people jump up like I was an invader. When they see its me, one of them shouts "Hey, its an Exceed!" Duh. What did you think I was? A flying dog? I lay Reason on the ground and land next to her, clearly out of breath. I make sure her hood is covering her face as a crowd encircles us.
Uhg. Too many people. They are getting to close. When I catch my breath, I manage to say, "Do you have a bed in the infirmary that Reason could use. She is badly wounded." A pretty, white-haired woman, in a pink dress, steps forward. "Of course we do. Gray, Natsu, Pick up Reason and bring her to the infirmary." "Fine." A pinkette and a raven-haired shirtless guy say in an usion. I assumed that the raven-haired one was Gray, while the Pinkette was Natsu. Their bickering told me I was correct. Gray went to her head to pick up her top half while Natsu went to her feet. I don't feel comfortable with guys lifting her up.
Gray must of noticed that he was now able to lift up her hood to see the face hiding behind it. He had not lifted her up yet, so, he reached up and started to pull back the hood. I light my paw on fire and grabbed his hand before it could uncover her whole face. Gray yelped and fell backwards. More surprised than hurt. As he regains himself I let the fire go out and pull the hood down.
I looked up to see that the crowd that was earlier so close had backed up a bit and was now staring at me like I was some type of disease. "What?" I asked in sheer confusement. I really have no idea why they are looking at me like that. Three other Exceeds, a white, a black and a blue one, walk up to me. The black one bluntly says, "Exceeds don't use fire magic." "Oh… Really?" "Yes, I agree with Pantherlily. They do not." The white one replys looking slightly annoyed. "But I've always been able to use fire magic, well ever since Reason…." SHIT! I wasn't supposed to say that. (Yup. I just made an Exceed cus. Don't be a hater)
"Reason taught you how to use fire magic? Does that mean she can use fire magic too?" "Well uh, no, she taught me how to use magic in general. I was the one who picked it." Looking away from the other Exceeds I say, "We need to get her to the infirmary, and this time Gray, don't try to move her hood"
Reasons POV
I'm Floating. No. I'm being carried. Why? By who? Is it Flame? No. Its someone else, she doesn't carry me like this." I sniff the air to smell that I'm back at fairy tail...Natsu and Gray are the closet smells along with a mix of blood and forest. Oww! My body is burning. How? It isn't fire, fire doesn't burn like this. I must be wounded...wounds feel like this. Why can't I think strait? I feel like an idiot.
I open my eyes as I'm set on a bed. My vision was all white. Is this how a blind person feels? No...I'm not blind. My eyes adjust to the surroundings. I was in the fairy tail infirmary. I didn't alert anyone that I was awake. And since my hood covered most of my eyes, they couldn't see I was awake. Though that was a disadvantage for me too. I could barely see anyone, but I could tell that the room was starting to get crowded. Why is it getting crowded in here? Its not like my hood is down. I feel and slight breeze on my stomach. My shirt must of went up enough to show my scar and new wound on my stomach, when Gray and Natsu set me down. More people came into the room with curious faces. I am NOT an exhibit to look at!
I quickly shove my shirt down, to pry the eyes off my stomach. I sit up, despite people telling me not to move. The place that hurts the most is on my back. Of course I'd rather sit up then lay down. I take into count how bruised and cut up I am. Why does it smell of the forest? Flame had dropped me.
Flame started to climb up the bed sheets till she reached the bed. she pulled herself up and stood at the end of the bed. Before I could lounge at her she opened her mouth and said softly, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to drop you." Tears started to flow from her eyes even though she doesn't make the crying noise. Sigh. You just can't be mad at that face.
I feel the expression on my face soften and I reach over to her, pull her close to me and hug her. I pet the short fur on her head to calm her down. Why do I alway have to calm people down and make them feel better. Was it something about me?
Most of the people left the room because I guess they can't stand crying either. Either that or they weren't interested in me anymore. Wendy was the only one left now. She helped heal the wound on my back and stomach and helped bandage the others. I told her I could bandage the one one my cheek, so, with a sweet smile she said goodbye and left. After I bandaged the gash on my cheek I lay down and fall asleep with Flame right next to me.
