Fairy Tail Next Generation

Chapter 14

Felix' POV

She said my real name for once. That was the thought going through my head when I woke up the next morning. Cali was still asleep looking like a sloppy burrito. The last thing I remember from last night was Cali looking hurt. Maybe Winter just called her ugly or something, but I don't think she would look like that if she only got called ugly. I decided to brush it off. Cali would probably be mad if I tried to bring it up. I got out of bed and went to check on Winter. She was still sound asleep. How late did those two stay up? Jeez, I shouldn't fall asleep again. Oh god, did they do anything to me? I ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Nothing. Okay good. Winter would probably demand breakfast when she woke up so I decided to go make some. If Bella is up I can ask him if they have any scrap metal for Cali. I made my way down the flights of stairs before getting to ground floor again. I heard some hushed talking in the living room. Bella was talking to those men again. Twice in a row? That was definitely suspicious. I got closer so that I could hear what they were saying. I really hope I don't get caught.

Bella: "So the plan is set?"

Guy 1: "Yeah, and I can't believe you got two Fairy Tail wizards. I didn't think any would come in the first place."

Guy 2: "So what if he got two, they're just kids. I bet they can barely use magic."

Girl: "Both of you shut up. It doesn't matter if they can use magic. It just matters that we have them. Bella, the plan is set."

The Girl stood up and kissed Bella. Eww. Never mind that – they are planning on taking over this town? That's not good. Whatever they are planning, it's not good. Bella began to lead them out, I ran for the kitchen so that they wouldn't see me. He let them out and began walking toward the kitchen. Shit, act casual. I took a deep breath and walked over to the fridge and pulled out eggs. I can make eggs, it's the only thing I can make. Bella walked behind me. He watched my every move. He really wanted me to confess to hearing everything. Well sir, it ain't happening. He didn't leave until I finished the eggs and cleaned up. I exhaled. I just got to go upstairs and tell Cali. She will know what to do.

I take the steps two at a time, careful as to not drop the eggs on the way up. When I got up there I saw that Cali was no longer asleep. I opened Winter's door and nearly dropped the eggs. Cali was in a black string bikini, and despite the fact that she was still wearing her jacket I had to pray that my nose didn't start bleeding. Her boobs may have been tiny, but that didn't stop her from having an amazing body. Winter was also in a bathing suit and Cali was putting her hair up. Winter looked over at me, but Cali refused to.

"Felix made breakfast! Gimme. I will eat while you go change. We are gonna swim today." I knelt down so that she could rip the plates out of my hands. Cali stood up and threw a pair of swim trunks at me. I just nodded and went to change. I'm afraid that I will lose focus on my nose not bleeding if I talk. About four minutes later, I return to the room to have Winter grab Cali and I's hands dragging us down stairs. I take a peek at Cali who was looking around franticly checking for Bella. Poor Cali. I am so glad I'm not a chick right now.

The pool was outside and was probably the biggest pool in existence. Cali went under an umbrella and voided herself of all Winter responsibility. I sigh and start helping Winter into her floaties. Once she was all prepared I grabbed her and lifted her up really high. She was giggling like crazy. Then I pulled her into my arms and cannonballed into the pool. Winter was really happy. We splashed around for a bit before she demanded I do tricks in the pool. I wasn't sure what to do so I got out and cannonballed again, causing a gigantic wave to splash over her. She giggle and screamed again. And so I got out and repeated the process three or four times before she acted bored of it. Winter climbed into a donut and floated around, giving me the chance to go talk to Cali. I walked over and looked for a towel. The only one was the one Cali was sitting on so I grabbed the corners and pulled it from under her. I laughed as she flipped onto her face with her ass a mile in the air. An angry aura glowed from her as she looked up at me with rage filled eyes. She opened her mouth to yell and me but I simply pointed to Winter who was laughing at us. She took a couple deep breaths before talking to me. "So what do you want?"

"I heard something this morning when I went to make breakfast." I sat down and looked at Winter before lowering my voice. "These people were talking to Bella and they said that they needed fairy tail wizards for something. A woman said that it didn't matter if we had magic or not, it just mattered that they had us. That was all I heard but I saw them talking yesterday too. I think we might be in danger." Cali looked serious and nodded.

"You are just paranoid dumb butt. Just cause the last two job's turned out worse than we expected doesn't mean so will this one. What are the odds?"

"The odds are 3 out of 3 times. Something is going on." She rolled her eyes.

"Like I said, we are fine as long as we don't kill the brat. Chill out." She grabbed the towel off my head and bunched it into a pillow before relaxing. She wasn't even a bit worried about what I told her. Maybe I was being paranoid – but I would rather be paranoid than naive. I stood up and went back to the pool. I can be paranoid for the both of us. Lord knows what they are planning exactly. I looked at Winter. What is you dad planning? I sighed and relaxed in the pool. For now, I will relax. When shit goes down, I will claim my 'I told you so' and take a little action.

I didn't get to relax for long. Winter was yelling daddy. I looked up to see one happy Winter, and one unaware Cali. Bella stood above her in a pair of yellow speedos. I'm just gonna spare the gory details and say it was fucking scary. Cali repositioned herself before looking up. Her eyes grew so big that you couldn't even see any other facial feature. She moved to get away but he grabbed her by the jacket anyway. Bella was much taller than her, so he had her at least a half foot above the ground. She kicked around franticly. I got out of the pool to her rescue – assuming she needed one. Her foot got to close to his balls that he dropped her. He still had her jacket in his hands though. Cali had studs just like her father – they ran from the back of her wrists to mid back. Gajeel's studs were much more spread out, although his were extremely hard to cover up. Cali's were all in two lines about an inch apart going on both arms. She knew instantly that she wasn't wearing her jacket. Her hand balled into a shaky fist before punching the ground hard enough to ripple it.

"Looks like the beauty is actually the beast." He had a look of disgust on his face and he proceeded to call Cali all the nasty names he could think of. "You are a monster."

"YOU'RE THE FUCKING MONSTER HERE." I didn't even think before speaking. His look of disgust had turned into a smug smile while he insulted her. Laughing as she sat there and took it. I couldn't take it.

"You are mistaken young man. This little deceiving girl is the monster. She is a hideous beas-" I punched him. It is not right to go around making young girls feeling uncomfortable and then calling them a monster just because they have one unique thing about them. It is not right to act like a nasty pervert in front of your five year old daughter. He may think he is disgusted, but believe me – I'm the disgusted one. This man was a real piece of shit.

Everything was quiet after I punched him. The whimpering Winter had gone silent. Cali had looked up upon the sound of my fist hitting his face. It felt like the world had stood still. Bella fell to the ground looking shocked. "Come on Winter, if you spend too much time in the pool your fingers will get pruney." She nodded and came out of the pool quickly, still staring at her father as she took my hand. I looked to Cali and extended my hand. She hesitated – clearly questioning her options before she took it. She grabbed her jacket and the three of us went inside. We made it upstairs and Winter went in her room to change. I looked over to Cali, who still hadn't let go of my hand. "Are you okay?"

"Just leave me alone." She squeezed my hand before letting it go. I couldn't tell why she had squeezed it. She talked in an angry tone, acted like she wanted to be left alone. I just didn't believe her act.

I followed Cali to her bed where she had sat down. She was going to put the jacket back on when I grabbed it out of her hands and threw it to the floor. I grabbed her hand and pulled her back onto the bed when she went to get it. I shakily put my hand up to her arm. Her eyes were wide as she watched my every move. I touched one of the studs. The cool iron felt smooth and soft underneath my rough hands. She froze. This was clearly not something that happened every day for her. I place my other hand upon her arm and started to feel the studs more. I wanted to ask why she took all the insults that Bella threw at her – I wanted to so badly – but I didn't need to. I already knew the real answer. Not the one she would give me, but the one that she would be thinking. She believed in everything he said.

"You are not a monster." She looked at me with those red eyes of hers. Her emotions just as undetectable as ever.

"Oh yes she is."
