Fire And Ice
Chapter 14 - Aya, Titan and Orion
I awoke to the chirps of birds that echoed through my window, my stomach turned with delight and happiness. My head had been dug between the pillows and my body wrapped warmily around the slik covers I had recently gotten. I opened my eyes watching the sunlight peer down at me, my eyes than began to adjust to the light. I let out a deep yawn as I turned over onto my back.
"Another day." I whispered out, I got up stretching my arms than relaxed my body. My fingers than began to trace over the scars on my skin, they were dark and looked as if they weren't going to simply fade at all. These scars seemed like they would exist forever, I wondered what would other people think if they had seem my scars? Pity? Saddness?
I let out a sigh running my hand through my hair, letting my feet move off of the bed I breathed out getting onto my feet I had done the daily chores in the morning, I managed to clean the kitchen and bathroom, and packed most of my documents that had been scattered across the ground in my living room, I gulped staring at my wrist.
The mark had flashed and quickly disappeared, I swallowed my anxiety I hadn't still found further information when it had come to this mark. The ancient books in the libray located in our town hadn't mentioned much about marks, though they talked much more about magic and the history of it. I licked my lips placing them gently onto the table, grabbing the towel I made my way into the bathroom.
"I think I need to go to the bank." I spoke out loud, I wasn't a rich or poor person I would consider myself very average instead. I always had done lots of jobs gotten from Fairy Tail but whenever I had gotten paid I would go straight to the bank and put most of my money inside, leaving me a quarter left, I always had a habit of saving money which I think is good.
After getting out the warm shower I let out my hair that had been wrapped in a bun, I sighed hopelessly looking down at my piggy bank. "That's enough to last me tomorrow." I tilted my head as I grabbed the rest of the money from my piggy bank along with my wallet, I made my way to my frigde. Barely there had been eatable items in the fridge, just a few drinks and a tray of eggs.
"Guess i'll go shopping today." Reaching over I grabbed my phone and headphones, pushing the earbuds into my ears I pressed play on the first song that was on my music playlist. I hummed to the soft tone as I put my hands into the pockets of my jogging pants, the streets were busy like usual and buzzing with conversations but all of that seemed to be blocked out by the melodic voice of a female singer.
Contiuning down the long stretch of the road I secretly smiled looking at the happy faces of the citizens, smiles glossed their features making a feeling of happiness spark in my chest. Children ran around holding toys in their hands and laughed with flushed faces, I pushed the strand of hair behind my ear and smiled at the feeling. These happy faces of the children, elder and everyone in the town had made me feel warm, this urge to protect this town had grew closer to my heart.
I'll protect them, alongside of Fairy Tail.
After all that is what magic is for, to protect the ones you love with it.
"Next." I heard the woman speak behind the counter, I raised up and made my way towards her with a smile. Watching a blush settle on her cheeks as she greeted me happily, I popped out one of my headphones and replied happily as she did as well.
"Is there something I can help you with?" I licked my lips. "Yes, I was actually wondering if I could withdraw some money." She nodded as I handed my bank card to her, she began to type out behind the computer, her eyes remaining focused on the computer. I wondered how my life would be if I had never be blessed with the gift of magic be?
Her eyes widened in amazement, "wow. You must save alot." I nodded, "I keep most of my money in the bank-" I glanced down to her nametage, "Miranada." She blushed at this, "uh." She looked shocked, I suppose teasing Erza a lot had managed to make me able to tease any women. I winked at her, "you can call me Amaryllis." She nodded with a dazed look on her face.
"W-Wait, A-Amaryllis, I heard that name before." I tilted my head at her words, "really?" She raised a finger to her chin slightly frowning, I hadn't been aware that people outside of Fairy Tail could possibly know my name which was shocking to me.
I had heard a loud sound of people yelling back and forth, I sighed hoplessly seeing as Miranda had become stiff and frozen, the sounds of yells had now calm down and than did I feel the cold object against the side of my head. "Didn't you hear when I said get on the floor." The scartchy yet deep voice rumbled over the music in my left ear.
I turned making eye contact with a man, he was much taller and more physically built. "You plan on robbing this bank?" I tilted my head at him with a raised eyebrow, this guy didn't scare me at all, he barely looked like he could kill a fly, though his appearance seemed to give off a strong vibe.
"A-Amaryllis, listen to him." Miranada spoke lightly behind the counter, I glanced at her she looked shaken as if she'd burst into million of tears. I sighed looking up to the man, his hand growing increasily closer to my chest. I yanked my hand back, "watch where you are touching." I narrowed my eyes at him, glancing around seeing as everyone had remained onto the ground terrified.
"I would watch who your talking to." He clicked his tongue, "hey give me all the money you have in this bank." He shouted at Miranda, she jumped with shock as she rushed to back. I sighed again running a hand through my hair, "Miranda. Don't, I will take care of him." She paused than did I hear the laughter from him, I watched as three people walked in front of him, seeming to be his assistances.
"Sorry, missy, I don't think you'll play with us." One of the men spoke from him, the girl in the middle smirked towards me her dark brown hair wrapped in a ponytail. "Hey, Aya. You can't fight everyone." One of the guys spoke, sighing in the process.
I watched as a ball of darkness shot towards me, I ducked watching as the ball hit the other wall exploding. Though the ball of darkness was different it had rings that were attached to it but moved in different directions.
"Alright. Four against three I don't mind." I craned my neck as I reached up to tie my hair pulling in tight into a ponytail, I heard the gasps fill the room as my Fairy Tail mark was shown on my neck. "Your the S-class mage from Fairy Tail, Amaryllis." The group of people sharpened their eyes, "fairy tail, huh?" The guy in blonde hair spoke with ease.
"That means Aya, can fight her." She looked happy, this strange magic she has is something that I have never seen before. I breathed out, feeling the spears appear in my hands, "geez here I was thinking I could just go grocery shopping." I grinned, "guess not."
In the silent moments I disappeared and reappeared between the four of them, "fire dragon's ring of fire." I spoke out loud as I hit the bottom of my spears into the ground, the bright red magic circle appear below it. The fire immediately hit them, they let out groans and flew back on impact in different directions.
Cocking my hip, "are we doing one on one?" Aya's brown hair fluttered in the air her bright green eyes shocking me seeing as happiness appeared in them, "get her!" The biggest man yelled, did he not care about them if they got hurt?
"Aya. Stop, you'll get hurt if you fight. I will do it." The blonde haired man spoke, "Orion." The other guy that held onto Aya whispered it seemed the black haired guy and Aya had a close relationship and this guy named Orion seemed to be the older brother. I raised my eyebrow, "I'll ask again do you plan on robbing this bank?" I let my spears disappear and stare at the boy.
"Let's see if they really call you the beautiful beast for a reason." I sighed, "if I do. I'll kill you." He clenched his jaw and raised his fists without hesitation, "I was aware of that from the beginning of this fight." I didn't want to fight him, he seemed like he was only doing it to protect his younger sister and this action of him fighting seemed to be strained.
I glanced over to the bigger guy, he seemed to watching the fight closely. "Alright." I than disappeared and reappeared in front of him again, catching his brown eyes to lock with mine. He shot a bolt of lighting towards me which managed to scramble and dodge it, my eyes widened, w-what?
Interesting. I reequipped my weapon to my lighting blades, I twirled on my feet as he shot multiple bolts at him. He extended his arm, "lighting dragon roar!" My eyes widened as the large amount of thunder launched towards me with quick speed, "dammit." I claimed out loud as I raised the blades as the lighting began to consume me.
At the last moment I managed to disappear before the lighting could touch my skin, "got you." I whispered a meter behind his back, using the lighting he had launched towards me I managed to take some and mix it with my lighting blades. I jumped in the air, "lighting blades : dance of rage." I than began to twirl with the lighting covering me entirely, I spun and spun hitting him as I twirled my blades cutting him effectively.
I stopped as he flew into the wall, I landed onto the ground majestically, the crowd of people than began to cheer for me, Orion though had looked tired, cuts and the lighting had radiated off of him, despite being covered in many wounds he forced himself to get up. "Get up, Orion, before I kill Aya myself." Orion's eyes widened, as he looked to the other man with a sickening grin.
"G-Galen, you promised you wouldn't touch her." I raised a eyebrow turning towards the man, "you hurt them?" Speaking of which I had already noticed marks on Orion's skin before, "heh. Why should I tell you anything." He grinned as Orion walked in front of him, his eyes hardened towards me, his fingertips had lighting flickering off of them.
"Do not take this personal, but I have to fight in order to protect the ones I love." He gritted his teeth glancing at Aya who watched me with glistering eyes, she looked like a happy child though she looked to be in her late teens. This man 'Galen' hurts the girl Aya, with beautiful brown hair? Why? He must have forced them to rob the bank with him.
I clenched my fists, "light-" I gently placed my hand onto Orion's mouth, and hit him painfully in his stomach making him bend over in pain, of course this punch was not normal I had laced it with fire. I held him closely and placed him on the ground where the other two had sat, "b-big b-brother." Aya exclaimed as she launched herself towards him wrapping her arms around him.
"O-Orion." The black haired guy spoke, "What are you doing!" Galen yelled out angrily, he was standing now his muscles bulging as his nerves popped out his forehead and the side of his neck. "Tell me, has he hurt you?" I looked down to Aya who had tears running down her cheeks, the black haired guy seemed angered by my question. "Why do we hav-" Aya raised her hand up silencing him.
I locked eyes with her, the evergreen eyes peering at me with a hint of darkness and loneliness. "H-he hurts us e-everyday, he's make my big brother do bad things and hurts Titan most of the time." I assumed Titan was the black haired guy, his sharp eyes looking at me.
"B-Because the debt from our parents had been to heavy, we have to cover it by serving him everyday." I looked to Orion, he was panting a bit heavy, I placed my hand onto his arm he looked up at me with shock. The green circle appeared above him and below him, "what the hell," shouted Titan as he pulled Aya back roughly. I calmly looked at Orion, "don't worry I am just healing him." I than began to stand up.
"T-Thank you." Aya pleaded as she hugged tightly onto Orion, "what are you gonna do now?" Titan asked sourly. "Kill us?" He glared at me, I shook my head. "I wouldn't, I can't. You guys haven't done anything wrong, right? At least that is what your forced to do." Titan eyes widened a bit as Orion and Aya stared at me.
"You said you fight to protect your sister. That is good, that is what magic is used for after all, using it to protect your friends and the ones you love." I smiled reminding myself of all the smiling faces of the guild I cherished the most. "Sorry I hurt you-Orion, I thought you had purposes. So if you'll excuse me I-" I watched the blush coat Orion's cheeks, "you mean your going to fight for us?" I nodded.
"Why you don't even know us, we just met you." I laughed as I turned around, "shall I say I understand your position well, I was once in it though it was very different." Aya gasped, I let the lighting blades disappear, it is strange, was Orion possibly trained by a lighting dragon himself? Because Laxus may be considered a dragon slayer but it was from a lacrima.
"You had a abusive past as well?" Titan whispered, "i'll let you think about that." I yawned stretching my arms, as I stopped in front of Galen reasonable amount of meters between us, "you think you can fight me and win, little girl." His laughter was deep and heavy, I glanced around looking to Miranda. "Sorry about the damage for the bank." I pushed away the bangs from my eyes.
"If I am a little girl, that means your a old man." I stifled a laugh as he began to shake. "You mind if I take the fight outside, I don't really wanna damage the interior of this place." He snarled and without warning magical appearing before me, he raised his fist I dodged to the right flipping backwards. I watched as the damage as to where his fists was, superhuman strength?
As I flipped another time I jumped this time, "roar of the sky dragon!" I sucked in the air and within seconds blasted it at him, this led him to going flying through the ceiling of the bank, dammit, I hope I don't pay for this. I landed on my feet and with my help of speed and fire and I followed after him in the air, he looked beyond angry with his nerves nearly looking as if they would pop a blood vessel.
I underestimated him, he looked to be a bit stronger than I thought he was. "Heh, dragon slaying magic like that kid. Even with that you'll never beat me." I suddenly watched as his body changed in the air as we were falling, his face became more smaller his eyes turned to a dark blue while his arms became more thinner. His hair remained the same color though was different, I raised my fist smacking it into him, he blocked it with both his arms but it pushed him down with more speed which made him land heavier onto the ground.
Landing on the ground I took a closer look at him, this man, he used the transformation technique. He grinned darkly at me, "I am sure you're aware of who I am now, aren't you?" His tone was teasing but he was true, his face I had seen it on the request board recently, he was a criminal. But he was much different from other criminals, he was a powerful one with amazing powers some still needed to be identified, he was ranked for only S-class mages because of his strength.
"Smart of you to use the transformation technique." I claimed lowly, "you see I am a S-class criminal, someone from Fairy Tail with your powers couldn't possible beat me." What a bad day to come out. I glanced over seeing as some people had come out from the bank to watch, especially the three. His voice was different from his previous disguise this one was not as deep and much more raspy.
"Alright, than." I raised the two keys in the air, "open the gates of the twin wolfs." The blinding light lit the area for a moment, and suddenly in front of me I was graced with the sight of Blaze and Blade. "I was waiting for you to call me, master." Blaze wrapped his arms around me, I sighed as I punched him in the side of his head. "I am not your master for one, two don't hug me like that." He grinned at my response and gave a laugh with a happy reply.
"Celestial spirits?" He tilted his head looking at me, "you tend to surprise me. You are very suitable to be my wife." Blaze yelled out, "she's only going to marry me!" He shouted, making me laugh and blush at the same time.
"Alright guys, you know what to do, right?" They nodded, Blaze shot forward. Blade had stay back with me as he created a water bow, the liquid of water than hardened as he pulled back the arrow, Blaze punched him but missed. I than reequipped my fast heels clutching the twin spears I dashed around him, hoping it would confuse him, it did and he lost balance at one point when both me and Blaze launched forward at him at the same time.
Blaze curled his fist that was covered in bright flames as I twisted my spears, I raised one and lunged it forward this had made it hard for him to block both of us. Galen than managed to block both our hits, I twisted my body letting my hand touch the ground as I kicked him up to his chin, he flew back on impact but gained his composure, I quickly than threw my other spear and laced it with fire as Blaze launched another attack at him, I watched a smirk peek from his lips. Huh?
"Blaze. Stop!" I shouted, and with as much speed I could muster, I tackled his body quickly into a nearby tree. He groaned, I grounded my teeth as I looked up to him, Galen gave me a devil like smile. "I am shocked you managed to get to him." The hole he had created was pure black with no evidence of life in their, the hole was slowly closing and was sucking everything within its vicinity.
"What kind of power is that?" My voice was slightly shaken, I never imagined a unknown power to come from someone like a criminal, I thought the act of cockiness was nothing but a mere joke.
"My magic is unique because I created it. The hole you seen before is a dimension I created myself, one that will physically and emotionally break up, those three learned the hard way having to go through it constantly. I could simply suck you in my dimension and break you to pieces seeing as you were the famous beautiful beast from Fairy Tail, but what fun would that be." He tilted his head his lips reaching to his ears.
"You should give up now." Titan called out to me, Galen looked towards him raising his arm Titan and Orion stumbled back with bright marks appear across their chest, it was a deep wound but not one that could kill them. Aya was shocked and rushed to them as they collapsed against the wall of the bank, I gritted my teeth, I clenched my fist.
How the hell did he hurt him!? "I bet your wondering how I hit them." The tilt of his grin made my stomach twist with disgust. "Once they enter my dimension and I willingly release them they become to easier hurt, since they had been in the dimension my lock is on them." He flicks his fingers, I looked to the three of them seeing as collars were locked around their necks. "Of course I don't control them all the time, but it's makes it easier to torture them with a simply flick." I felt the breath my lungs leave me.
H-how dare he do something so cruel do them!Sure, I may not know them but I feel like they have a good important future ahead of them and are missing most of it, I will save them. For their freedom!
"Giving up is not in my book." I cracked my knuckles as I wielded both of my demon blades, "fighting for a bunch of little kids, what are you a hero?" Galen snickered looking at me with crossed arms. I grinned feeling the hair shadow my artificial eye, "something like that. They remind me of myself a lot actually." I glanced at them from the corner of my eye, Aya seemed to be the quiet side of me, Titan seemed to be the stubborn and spitfire and lastly Orion had the one like me currently right now having the protective urge to protect Erza.
"Making you another one of my puppets will be absolutely beautiful." His fingers ran through his thick hair as he licked his lips, "Amaryllis." I looked back to Blaze, the arrow Blade had made had been swallowed up by one of the holes. I clenched my teeth, the only way to take him out would be long range, that's it. Unless he can project these holes a certain amount of meters, that could make it easier, no I don't want to get anyone else involved in that. Those three experienced enough torture for who knows how long, Blade and Blaze I can't get them involved at all!
"Blaze and Blade, set up a protective barrier." Blaze placed his hand on my shoulder, "going all out, aren't ya?" I shook my head, "I am not sure. His magic is something I never went against." He gave me a reassuring smile, and quickly appeared beside Blade and Blaze who began to set up the barrier. I raised my lone fist and sent it directly towards the ground, "earth dragon's thunder clap." The ground heading straight towards him cracked and shook violently, the pieces of the ground breaking apart and flying admist into the air.
"Roar of the fire dragon." With a large puff I exhaled the large amount of fire from my mouth, as I guess he opened one of his holes which had absorbed the fire itself. Using that as I distraction I soared through the air with a quick speed as I appeared behind him, the hole in the air opened, I ducked in a hurry onto the ground and in the middle of swinging my sword at his back another hole appeared.
I moved my to my left flipped backwards sliding to a stop I watched a grin appear on his lips, I heaved my breath, either I am getting out of shape or I underestimated my skills as a magic user. "Are you scared of me?" He looked excited. "Yeah, right." I breathed out. "Stop. Please stop." I looked towards the sobbing voice, my eyes widened at the brown haired girl.
"Y-You don't need to fight for us." Aya cried out loud, I smirked at her tone. "But I am, is that a problem?" She faced me with wide eyes but still crying all of the eyes were on me. "When I was younger I had to fight for my own freedom, but I had friends with me now, they make me even stronger. Even now I have my friends with me," I said with a smile looking at Blade and Blaze who nodded happily.
"I am fighting for you because you deserve your freedom. Those locks on your neck cannot be there for the rest of your life, that's why I am helping you break free from them." The laughter from Galen bubbled past his lips, "this thing about friendship and freedom is nothing but a bunch of lies. Believe her like those people who tried to save you and failed horribly." Aya's face had become stiff.
I inhaled with closed eyes, right I am fighting for their freedom, they deserve it after all. If I never fought at the Tower of Heaven would I really be where I am today, if I don't fight for there's who else could help them. I suppose destiny has a weird way of working, if I never came to this bank and encoutered them would they have the chance for their freedom. No?
Maybe they would in the future, but with their powers they seemed to have a lot of potential to becoming even more great of mages but at their current level they need a lot help.
Due to being a sky dragon slayer I had many abilities I might have learned but still many to used, Wendy, another sky dragon slayer had learned a lot, she even taught me some moves. "Body anomaly reversal magic, raise." The blue circles appeared over the five people by the wall, it had hopefully made it unable for Galen to hurt them. "This protective barrier could block out the things from the exterior, but what about hurting them physically from the interior." A smirk spread across his lips, as he used the same motion from before with a flick.
The attack happened but it didn't hurt them, his eyes widened as he kept flicking his fingers. I smirked at this reaction and appeared before him, he was dazed and confused, I raised both of my blades and stirked directly across his stomach. I jumped back again seeing as a hole appeared, I watched him slide back from the attack the slashs across his stomach bleeding a bit.
"I wonder what are you deepest fears." His voice tingled against my ears, "I always loved a woman who acted strong on the outside but was weak on the inside." He licked his lips and wiped the blood from his stomach he wiped it away harshly letting his blood touch the ground. "I am certain you have experience many horrible things to you, right?" There was a moment of slience, "even one of your eyes are fake." Blaze curled his fists along with his brother, there was a gasp from Aya.
"It means you know the feeling of darkness." I shook my head, h-how does he know one of my eyes are fake? I gulped, "I was there too." He whispered, I looked up to him seeing a grin appear on his lips something that never seemed to be fading. "I know of you. You had been at the Tower of Heaven, I remembering hearing you often be rebellious as a child, they took your eye and one more thing." He trailed off my eyes widened he was going to say it, I haven't told much about Blaze and Blade other than my eye, I never wanted to remember that night.
"They took your body," his voice was like a curse, I didn't want to hear it anymore. I wanted to sudden disappear in a hole and be left alone, the embarrassment I could possibly feel right now never felt good. "I was new to that place, but I heard despite your age you had a body tamed by a goddess." My fingers curled tightly into a fist, m-my body had been disgusting for a very long age.
"How do you feel now? Being reminded that your body is tainted with men's hands." I locked my lips tightly, I was not going to cry in the middle of a battlefield. I slowly began to stand and face the man, "are you done now?" He smirked with a interested look on his face, "heh. It'll take a while for you to break in my dimension." His voice seemed to echoing in the corner of my head, a shiver of disgust ran up my spinal cord making me clench my teeth.
"Rock dome of the earth dragon." The large brown circle appeared below his feet, he began to jump back but was halted as the rock from the ground incased him into a tight dome. With a glare, "king crushing dome of the earth dragon." I hardened my tone as much as I could, the rock around him encase him and tightened his body until he no longer move and shattered quickly.
He must have broken a few bones, at least that was what I was hoping for. I dashed forward appearing above him raising my fist, "fire dragon's iron fist." My hand connected with his stomach the impact sent him further into the ground, I gasped as the hole appeared above me successfully getting my hand. I groaned as the burning sensation grappled onto me, than one appeared under my right leg.
"Ugh." I breathed out, he could tear me too pieces, I need to find a way out of it! The holes began to become bigger, the one at the bottom already reached past my knee. I grounded my teeth as I grabbed my celestial keys, "Amaryllis." I heard them shout, I tried pulling my hands back but it was no use my hands had already been completely sucked in.
Taking the celestial keys I threw them into the barrier, Aya picked them up. I grasped my breath as the hole reached past my stomach, "it is time you become my puppet." I clenched my teeth feeling my legs hang in nothing, which had scared me. "Keep them safe for me." The hole reached past my chest now, "n-no please stop. Galen I'll do anything you want." She shouted hopelessly.
"I'll be back, you damn bastard. I am going to kill you." I spit in his face seeing as the smirk fell from his lips, than it was than I was completely in darkness. There was no sound other than the thumping of heartbeat, I began to fall aimlessly no sight of light anywhere. My skin began to crawl with anxiety as my eyes were forced to be closed, the next moment I opened them I was faced with the same soldiers that night.
They cradled whips in their hands with sickenining smiles, I forgot this feeling, the feeling of wanting to experience instant death. The whips were lanuched towards me with no sense of pity, I pursed my lips trying to hold in the cries of my pain, this was nothing more than an illusion, this pain isn't real. Than why do I feel the stinging feeling and the sense of my sanity barely hanging on, watching as the drips of my blood fall onto the ground I wished to touch.
After days of what seemed to be of whipping I watched as another group of men approached drool leaking out the corner of their lips, they began to take their belts off and move closer to me as their pants dropped. My eyes widened in horror as the group of men touched me violently, I screamed and screamed for help for someone to save me. It was exactly that night, I had cried for Erza, Jellal, Erik and all my friends to save me yet only the men would laugh at me and whip me if I am too loud.
T-This is a dream, right?
W-Why does it feeling so real? These events already happened to me, yet they seemed to be reoccuring again, please let me die. I didn't want to experience this feeling anymore, get me out please.
I felt the dry blood stick to my body and the tears soak into my cheeks, the scene changed and I was looking at a different place. My eyes nearly smiled at the familar street, it was near Fairy Tail. I looked towards the back of the man, he pulled his hood down, the blue hair fluttering in the air making me slightly blush, it was Jellal, he looked so handsome even from the back.
This must be a beautiful dream.
Jellal turned towards me his eyes lowered, than he looked at me, "I do not love you, Amaryllis." My heart jumped from my chest, I knew he was capable of loving only woman and I wished her happiness though deep in my heart I wished for my love to override her's. He stared at me different, it wasn't with pity or guilt, it was with hate.
"I never thought you to be beautiful." I felt a crack in my heart, this was a joke, when we were younger he had told me I was beautiful many times, this was a dream. "No, it is not a dream. Amaryllis, I never had any feelings for you, at all." I felt as I began to choke on a sob, he stepped forward and with a beautiful smile he whispered into my ear.
"Remember demon's aren't capable of love." My body froze, h-how d-did he know. Jellal pulled back now, "I prefer beautiful crimson hair, and a pure body unlike yours." I froze as his finger traced my lips, tears leaking from my one eye. T-This is real, E-Erza had always been the better one out of both of us, she was beautiful and unique.
She has long red hair that is desired by every man, a body that has all the curves in the right spots, she is strong, dependable and beautiful it truly is a endless list when it concerns her. After all she is the better one from us, she is known and loved by everyone. I-I am just the coward who hides in her shadow.
"You have been tainted in many ways, Amaryllis. You are not fit to be with me, I want a pure and strong woman. Not a demon." Than it went all downhill from there, I watched as I returned to Fairy Tail not by will, seeing as Natsu and Lucy gracefully kiss each other made my heart cry in desperation. Than a scene changed to a bedroom, it looked to be a female's.
I watched the two bodies were entangled in the bed, "Gray-sama, but what if Amaryllis finds out." I watched the water mage smile blissfully up to Gray a smile perched onto his lips. His muscles bulging as his hair dangled above Juvia's face, I could no longer stand as I watched the two embrace, Gray had began to kiss Juvia down her neck letting bright red markings on her body. I was going to go crazy.
I fisted my hand into my hair as he moaned her name in estacsy, my heart felt as if it was going to explode, my sobs were heard by the two embracing seemed to be oblivous to my presence. After they had finished I couldn't help to stop the cries my lips and heart stop, I wanted to truly die, I never wanted to experience heartbreak in my life.
"Gray-sama, what about Amaryllis?" Gray looked at her with a loving look, my heart slowly stopping, "Amaryllis." He took a deep breath before glancing in my direction, he let out a laugh.
"She's such a deillusional girl for thinking she could be loved, I never actually loved her, I love you Juvia. I could never love a demon." He leaned over and kissed her lips, he said it so lightly like it was nothing. M-My heart I clenched my chest digging my head into the ground, the pain from my heart seemed to never fade as I recalled the two calling there names as they embraced.
"Do you want to give up." Everything began to replay, like a broken record, the sounds of Galen's voice spoke over everything. I had took the whippings and watched as I was being tainted by the soldiers, than watching the scene of Jellal hurting me along with seeing Natsu and Lucy kiss in the guild, and than the most heartbreaking scene of them all was the one with Gray and Juvia.
"You can escape this as long as you pledge allgiance to me." Galen's voice spoke over me, I began to open my mouth in order to say yes, I couldn't take the pain anymore. I wanted to truly escape this dimension, I wouldn't be able to handle this forever, I can't I just can't. If there is a god that does exist, p-please save me, I am a weak demon, that needs to disappear quickly on the face of the world.
'Your kidding me, right?' There was laugh from the back of my head, the sound was slightly different but was a female, s-someone in my head.
'The great Amaryllis knocked down over this.' She scoffed, 'don't make me laugh.' She was silient for a few seconds.
'You do know this place is a dimension, it's Galen's power, he has almost attempted at completely breaking you physically and emotionally. You remember Galen right the guy you were fighting over for some people freedom.' I gulped, who are you?
'Out of everything to say that is what you say? Just someone, anyway you need to find a way out of here.' I can't i'm stuck here forever. Just kill me. 'I would do that for you but as you can say I am currently not capable of doing that, how about we find a way out of here. Together.' I stood up, wobbling as I stood my blood began to drip on the ground I stood on.
'You have that weapon named Demon Blades, right. The sharpest blades that could be made.' I nodded as I let them appear in my hand, 'they are really sharp. So maybe if you could do enough damage you could break through this dimension.' I raised a eyebrow as I pushed away the leaking tears from my one eye, hearing as Jellal repeated those words.
Enough damage? 'Yes, woman. Damage, do your move where you make your opponenet sustain the most damage.' I closed my eyes seeing the couple embrace, where would I be hitting. Unless I hit the actually person?
'Ding ding. Never knew you were that smart, get on with woman, I wanna get out of here as much as you do I am seriously getting sick of your sappy crying.' I held back the giggle as I heard the voice, I wielded both the swords in my hands and I looked to the new scence of Jellal. I ran towards his back raising both my blades, "demon blades : sharpest dance." I spoke out loud as I striked Jellal from the back, the slashed from him taking proceeded into him falling forward.
I took a step back watching as the scene shattered into a million pieces and had gone to the next one, pushing aside that the images had been my friends I raised my swords again. "Demon blade : sharpest dance." I felt the swords in my hands become more easier to hold and felt light on my feet, again this scene appeared to shatter into pieces.
I gulped looking at the third scene, 'you can do it.' The voice cheered lowily for me as I stepped into the room with both Juvia and Gray entangled, my presence caught them off guard, though I held no regret for them as I performed the next move. "Demon blades : sharpest dance." The blinding light covered me entirely, I bit the corner of my lip lightly.
'I know you don't need help with this one.' The soldiers stood in front of me with whips, I easily yanked my hands out the ropes and stepped forward with both blades in my hands and with confidence I sliced them all apart. The blinding light exploded around me, I watched as the air in front of me cracked like glass raising both of my swords I hit the slashed them together.
I than landed onto my feet, I raised my eyes focused from the ground. Feeling the blood leak from my lips I smirked at Galen who looked terrified, "w-what the hell." He stuttered out loud, I pushed away my long hair that had fallen out my ponytail. "Tell me did I become one of your puppets." I requipped to my fast heels and lunged towards him, with more speed and confidence.
"Demon blades : sharpest dance." I spoke out loud, as I performed the violent hits to his body that sent him flying blood covering every part of his body. I disappeared again than and reappeared underneath him striking him with the bottom of my foot he went flying into the air. I followed after him with glee, I kicked him in the stomach which had made the kick erupt with air around him as I sent him flying towards the ground. The impact seemed to be a lot more stronger than I imagined and sent the trees around violently with the sudden wind.
I could even see the barrier Blaze and Blade that had put up now broken and sent everyone into the outside wall of the bank, I clenched my fist with much anger I began to lung towards him as his body laid barely conscious. "No." He cried out in pain, I wonder how many times they cried out for pain when he hurt them to the point they couldn't stop.
"I beg of you." I smirked feeling a darkness emitting in my heart, "did you think I was finished." The magic power around me exploded it was in a brown-w-wait is this dragon force? I gasped at this feeling but enjoyed it, my hair turned to be light brown, this is dragon force! I looked to see my hands wrapped in a dark scales that were brown.
"Deadly impact of the earth dragon!" I shouted over the wind as my voice went over the slightly calmed winds, and with that I slammed the front of my fist into his stomach watching digging him into the ground. The air around me erupted with powerful winds that some of the trees blew off, I grinded my teeth harder and push him further into the ground.
Blood from his lips touched my cheek, I pulled back my fist that had been twisted into his stomach, his eyes appeared to be rolled back and lifeless. I sighed, hearing as it was echoing, I looked up in shock. I was in a hole, I push him so far down with the strength from the dragon force I didn't realize it. I grinned looking up to the bright blue sky, wondering where the voice is I sighed getting to my feet.
I watched my hair beginning to turn back normal and the scales from my arms fading, so this is what they call dragon force. My legs wobbled and the wounds on my body seemed to be more painful, I gotta get back up there. I grabbed Galen's lifeless body, and quickly began to jumped off the side of the walls of rock, I pushed myself up on the last jump I need to do and flipped forward.
I dropped Galen's lifeless body and sighed, pushing away my hair. "Amaryllis, your alive!" Blaze exclaimed as both of the brothers hugged me tightly checking to see if I was real. I laughed, "ouch. That hurts." I mumbled as Blaze pushed his face too close to my chest where there had been a massive deep cut, I looked down at my bloody body, looks like the whipping was real and took a serious toll on my body.
"A-Ah." I watched as Aya's face erupted in flames as she looked at me along with the two boys, I raised a eyebrow removing my crossed arms over my chest. Blaze looked at me with wide eyes and a flushed face while Blade turned his face with his hands covering his eyes, "wow. Amaryllis, you really do have a nice body." I looked down to my chest, seeing as I was completely naked.
I screamed out loudly covering my hands with chest and squatted down covering myself completely, "what the hell, Blaze. Why didn't you tell me I was naked!" I shouted out loud, he giggled, as he jumped around his brother, "I finally seen her boobs. I didn't even ask her." Aya handed my keys with a flushed face, "you are so lucky right now! Close the gates of twin wolfs." Blade lightly smiled and me with a blush while Blaze grinned the largest he could.
"Here." I heard the deep voice from Orion, I looked up to him seeing as he handed me his jacket. I tilted my head, he was looking in the other direction, "wear it, unless you want to be naked." I blushed as he and the two others turned around as I pulled on his jacket, it was much bigger than me, on him it went past his waist but to me it went to my knees.
"Thanks." I spoke smiling up to him, he was avoiding my eyes. I sighed looking down at Galen, "well I am heading to Lahar." I spoke out loud as I dragged Galen's body on the ground, I started to make my way towards the road. "What about us?" Titan asked lightly, Aya than made her way towards me with quick speed I nearly stumbled back.
"I want to stay with you." She looked up at me with determined eyes, "u-uh." I fumbled over my words. "You guys are free now, you can do things you want to, travel the world if you must." I tried to move from Aya's strong arms locked around me. I sighed as I began to walk with her arms locked around me, "no. I want to be with you." I blushed at her words, they kinda sounded like a confession.
"When Aya likes someone she is stuck to them like glue." Titan sighed as walked with us Orion on my right. I tilted my head, "than why don't you guys join Fairy Tail then." I looked up at Orion who finally made eye contact with me.
"Yes, we will." Aya chirped in glaring at her brother from the corner of her eye, "alright. Let's head to Lahar." I cheered dragging Galen's body Aya followed me, going through the streets of Fiore you thought would be weird carrying Galen's body instead I got some cheers from people. Telling me Galen had done a few horrible things to them, I arrived at a small motel Lahar had been staying at.
I went up to the desk, "can I help you?" The woman asked nicely she seemed to be a bit older, "do you know if Lahar is staying here, I am a close friend of his." The woman noticed this and shook her head, "I am sorry I am unable to tell you where he stays." I leaned forward reaching over as my fingers touched her hair, she blushed at this. I really do have a way with woman.
"A beautiful girl like you shouldn't be single right?" She breathed out heavily as my long fingers went down the nape of her neck, tickling her, "he's in room 102." She looked as if she was about to pass out. I smiled as I gently kissed her hair, she than collapsed onto the spot with hearts flying from her eyes and a flushed face. "This Aya is how you learn to get your way with a woman." She nodded raising her fists following what I was doing.
"Don't teach her that!" Titan shouted as he cradled her face into his chest, he looked to be embarrassed too. I giggled lightly as I stepped in front of the door, "we don't have a key." Orion looked to me, "i'll go get it f-" I shook my head. I raised my foot and kicked it hard, the door flew open coming off the hinges.
"Oh dear, Lahar!" I shouted, I looked into the living room seeing as he was playing cards with a groups of other men, "Amaryllis!? Did you just break the door." I looked back to the door on the ground, I scratched the back of my head lightly. "Kinda." He stomped towards me in a hurry, I threw Galen's body into him, he caught him in the air.
"He's the criminal you guys been looking for right?" I crossed my arms over my chest, "that's him alright." One of the other men spoke nodding in the process, I put my hand out. "Pay up, I am in desperate need of money." He sighed as looked down to him, "he hurt Amary." I watched as Aya pointed to my body which I hadn't healed I was rather exhausted and wanted to fall into bed at the moment.
She frowned seeing as Lahar sighed hopelessly and went to get the money, I placed my hand gently on top of her head rubbing it. She was so innocent and pure, something that seemed to be rare in these days, again I felt the strange urge to protect the girl. "Don't worry Aya, I'll take care of that." Hours before we were enemies now she seemed to be a younger sister to me.
"Here." Lahar placed the bag of money in my hands I thanked him and began to make my way out the room, "that's the girl from the Tower of Heaven project, right?" There was a mumbled response from Lahar I didn't bothered with the words from their conversation, when we made our way back into the streets I watched as Titan and Aya gaped at everything they seen.
I smiled at them, we were making our way back to Fairy Tail so I could get some treatment from Wendy and have them join the guild. "Pick something you want, anything?" I watched as Aya's eyes lit up along with Titan, I looked to Orion who was just staring at them with a smile on his face. "Aren't you gonna get something?"Orion looked down at me and shook his head.
I sighed, I took his hand and pulled him to the stall. I leaned forward looking at the necklaces, tilting my head, I looked at the sight of a sliver flame curling around. I took this one and held it up to him, "how about this one?" He shrugged his shoulders, "I don't think it's neccassary to get me this." I raised a eyebrow, "think of this as a gift of being new friends." His eyes widened slightly.
I nodded, "but we just met today." I nodded again with a frown on my lips, "you're right about that. But you are joining Fairy Tail too which happens to be the same guild I am in so we are guild mates." I smiled brightly up to him. I looked up to him, "let's see if this will fit." I unhooked the end of the necklace and stood on my tiptoes and hooked it in.
I pulled back to look at it on him, "oh I like it." I looked to the woman running the stand, "i'll take this, please." I reached into the bag of money and grabbed the money for the three of their gifts. "Ah, I want this!" Aya exclaimed, I leaned over to the woman. "I will be paying for what they have as well." The woman looked up at me with shock, "this is still too much though." I grinned for some strange reason I felt rather vibrant today.
"Keep it. Think of it for working to hard." She smiled largely bowing at me, "thank you very much." I turned towards the Titan and Aya with happy smiles, "alright let's go." We made our way to Fairy Tail which was usually busy but was a bit quiet since it seemed to be getting a bit late, I made my way to Mirajane who greeted us with a happy smile.
"Ah, Amaryllis. You're hurt, are you alright." I nodded, "you mind getting Wendy. I kinda need help to heal the wounds in places I can't reach." She nodded and Wendy came bouncing over to me, "Mirajane I also found some new candidates who want to join the guild." She smiled happily clapping her hands together, "great." I made my way to Wendy who was heading towards the infirmary.
I felt the hand around my arm, "where are you going?" Aya asked with her big green eyes. I pointed to the infirmary, "I'll be in that room, I am just going to get rid of some blood, okay?" She nodded. "Don't worry I'll show you guys around the guild." Mirajane gave a welcoming smile. I met Wendy by the infirmary she held the door open for me as I walked in, "good afternoon Amaryllis." I greeted her back as happily.
Carla had sat on the bed swinging her legs back and forth, I sighed, and than began to strip in front of the two. Zipping the jacket down I turned my back to Wendy, she let out a loud gasp I glanced at her eyes that were wide, "A-Amaryllis, who done this to you." Oh how I wished to tell her truly how it happened, I smiled at the girl, "just a little fight." I grinned to her.
She shook her head, "your skin is barely hanging on, your bleeding so much, you should have come here first!" I smiled lightly at her, a warm feeling surfacing from my chest. It felt nice to have friends who cared about you well-being, I licked my lips lightly looking at Carla, she was giving me the judgmental look. She sighed and crossed her arms over her chest, "whatever it is. Wendy help her as much as you can." Wendy nodded happily.
After a hour or so Wendy managed to heal most of the deep wounds but she had helped me put on some bandaging around my body which covered most of my torso. I sighed as I dug my head into the pillows I felt nothing more than tired, and than I gently closed my eyes looking at the afternoon sky.
The moment I woke up I was facing a person, there elbows resting on theirs knees, I watched the black hair gloss in the darkness of the room. The figure appeared to be a man a handsome one to, there was a faded scar above his eyebrow, than he gently smiled at me. "Hey." The ice mage greeted me lowly.
YASSS! Another chapter up!
Anyway I like Aya a lot! She's gonna be a important character when its comes to Amaryllis and you will see the relationship of the four of them bond even more over the next few chapters or chapters. . . .I hope you enjoyed it!
I understand some may not like this seeing as I wanted Amaryllis to be a S-class mage. . .I feel she'll deserve the title as we go through the chapters. As well if your not a fan of GIRLXGIRL than don't read. The story is going to be OCXMALE but there just gonna be moments with GIRLXGIRL which kinda might shock you.
So tell me what you think of these three new characters? And maybe what you think happened in their past?
BTW - I felt in the mood to write this chapter all night long and am starting the next due to the absolutely one of the best osts from Fairy Tail .
