She wakes up groggily, this time knowing she's not home, but not knowing where she is. What happened? I went to dinner, there was a tense part where I ecided a walk was my best option, and then there were those girls...She can't remember what happened after the glitter was blown in her face. Her eyes adjust to the darkness around her and sees the bars ahead of her. The terrible taste in her mouth says that she's been out for hours already. She tests out her voice and is awarded with a croaky "hello?"
"Hey, new one's awake!" She hears a chorus of people around the hall she can barely see when she shuffles to them, having a tough time standing since her arms are restrained by what feels like manacles.
"There's other people here?"
"You've got that right. I'm Jack." The voice sounds like it's coming from a room next door, possibly another cell. "I was the first one here, and with you we're up to twelve. What's your name?"
"Haruhi. Why are we here?"
"Your guess is as good as any of ours, friend. They only feed us, not speak to us. I've been here a month, the others ariving every couple of days. You got here maybe an hour ago."
"Where are we?"
"Again, your guess is as good as ours, but sometimes I think I almost smell the sea."
"The sea?"
"I smell it on them when they come in. In their hair or on their shoes mostly."
"How far is the sea from," ah, what was it called again? Um. Going to have to venture a guess. "...Fiore?"
"Fiore is the country, lad: I don't thnk we have left the kingdom."
"Sorry," she says. "What was it, what was it?" She mumbles, "some kind of flower...roses...carnation...lily, is the cat...persimmion is a fruit, isn't it?"
"Are you trying to think of Magnolia?" The voice named Jack asks, shocking Haruhi because she didn't think she was mumbling tht loud.
"That's it! How far is the sea from Magnolia?""I don't know, an hour or two by magic mobile maybe? Half a day by carriage?"
"Depends on which way you're headed!" Another disembodied voice echos slightly farther down the corridor. "North it's that, but other was it could take days."
"Right, Sterling, but I don't think they would go that far for a person."
"I'm from the west-"
"But you were picked up around these parts. Doesn't matter where youre from, so long as it's convenient." He redirects his voice, "hey Haruhi, so you have any magical ties?"
"I'm not from this land, Jack."
"Well then, why did thy mention Fairy Tail when you were brought in? They seemed spooked."
"Fairy Tail is the people I'm staying with."
"'Staying with'? What's that supposed to mean?"
"Well, a few found me lost yesterday, so they seem to want to get me home. Until then, I'm rooming with a couple of them."
"You've met Fairy Tail members?" His voice rises in astonishment. "Which ones?"
"This guy named Freed, I think, found me, then going back to their guild I talked to the bar/infirmary person, everyone called her Mira, then there was a talent show, and I'm staying with some pink haired guy named Natsu and a guy with big black hair who seems to be rocking the grunge look. I think his cat called him Gajeel or something."
"Woah. The Thunder Legion, the Mirajane Strauss, Salamander, and another dragon slayer? On top of that, a talent show? Ha! You must be one lucky dude!"
"Must not be if I'm in here."
"Well, yeah, but it's Fairy Tail: the legendary guild."
"Well, that does me a lot of good in here," she retorts sarcastically. "Have you guys tried to escape?"
"Once. Fella got out and said he would get help, but an hour later he was brought down here again and was killed in front of our eyes. It was bloody gruesome to say the least. No one has tried since."
"No plans o anything?"
"What kind of plans could ordinary people cook up to fool and escape a guild of wizards? That guy was an MP reserve before this happened to him."
"So what do we do? Are we really going to just sit here until we get what's coming to us?"
"If it's better than being murdered like that, yes."
"Well, I guess that makes you dead anyway."
