Normal POV
Erza, Gray, Lucy, Cana, Aurora, Yukino, Sting and Rogue were on the train, chatting. Well, except the dragon-slayers who were trying with enough courage to get over their motion-sickness. Morlyus was near Erza, bound with ropes. He was still knocked out but Erza was keeping an eye on him. Aurora was right in front of her, looking out. She was caught in her mind, not paying attention to the whole noise Cana was making and the moans which were coming from the green Sting and the paler Rogue. The young god-slayer didn't want to make eye contact with Morlyus' eyes or body. This man who was her father betrayed her family, her town, this man who was meant to be the one who should love her and take care of her was going to harm her, to make her suffer. This man made her new friends suffer and she was ashamed of herself. She didn't talk to the others since they left Ayaney, Jeff and the others who volunteered to stay in that town to help them to get back on their feet. She kept the distance between her and the others and Erza was the first one who realized this.
"Aurora?" asked the red-haired girl. The brown-haired god-slayer shook her head, making her understand she was hearing her. Erza sighted."Aurora, look at me" she demanded. Aurora didn't make eye contact with the scarlet-haired girl, keeping looking at the dry land they were passing. Erza left the girl alone, sneaking every 5 minutes an eye to Morlyus who was still asleep. 'Maybe it's because this guy is her father' she said in her mind.
3 hours later…
"Thank you for choosing Fiore Trainsport. We will get in Magnolia in a couple of minutes, please get ready." A feminine voice could be heard in the speakers.
"Ok Morlyus, time to get out of here and get you to the prison" said Erza. The man only glared at her but he raised up. Aurora was behind them, walking slowly, with her head looking at her feet. After they finally stepped in the train station, Sting started kissing the ground.
"I missed you so much, oh, I love you so much, oh, oh" he was mumbling between kisses. Rogue face-palmed himself but he was looking already better than 10 minutes ago. Yukino was next to him, giggling at the funny reaction the white dragon-slayer had.
"Alright team, I will go to the prison with Gray. You can go to the guild and help them" and she pointed to Yukino, Rogue and Sting "to get to a hotel. We will not let you travel with the train again, it's a long way there. You'll stay here a couple of days before you regain your forces and then you can leave to your beloved guild. See ya at the guild guys. C'mon, Gray" said Erza.
"Stupid kids, you think some damn chains will keep me away from my destiny. You are just a stupid little bitch who thinks she can stop me. And the others, only bastards who can't ev-" but Morlyus was cut off by a punch. Aurora's fist which was covered in light made contact with his cheek, leaving a huge red mark on his face. She glared at him.
"Don't ever fucking say that again about my friends or next time, I'll make you suffer more than I did when you fucking left our me and you did that to our neighbors. Got it, 'Morlyus'?" ended Aurora, putting an sarcastic accent while spelling his name. Morlyus could only stare at her in shock. Everyone was staring at Aurora's anger face. Erza nodded and took Morlyus to the prison with Gray.
"Hottie, you ok?" asked Sting, worried, coming closer to the girl. He could smell salt which meant she was crying. He put a hand on her shoulder only to feel her shaking. He wrapped his huge arms around her little body and she only buried her face in his chest and started crying. Lucy, Yukino, Cana and Rogue came next to her and they all put one hhand on her shoulders. She revealed her watery eyes and looked at the others. She freed herself from Sting's embrace and she bowed.
"Minna… I am sorry. For all. For mydad. And because this all happened because of him. I feel ashamed of myself and my family, I should've ended this by myself and yet you guys had to ricks your lives with my problem. Gomennasai!" ended Aurora, hot tears streaming down on her cheeks.
"Hottie…" whispered Sting.
"Aurora, we are a family. You are part of our family now. Your problems are our problems., our problems are your problems. We share good and bad moments. This is what families are for, right?" smiled Lucy. Aurora raised her face and looked at her with a smile. She wiped her tears and hugged Lucy.
"Thank you…" she whispered."Thank you". Lucy smiled and hugged her back.
"Ehm… I don't want to interrupt this nice moment, but I am kinda hungry." Sting said, scratching his back-neck, earning a punch from Rogue. Aurora and the blonde Celestial Mage giggled.
"Let's go to the guild then, ehh?" asked Lucy, a big smile dominating her face.
"AYE!"
At the guild…
"WE'RE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE!" yelled Cana while bursting through the guild's door, followed by Aurora, Lucy, Yukino, Sting and Rogue.
"Welcome back, Cana, Lucy, Aurora!' greeted Mira with her usual smile. "Oh, Sting, Rogue and Yukino came as well?"
"Yeah well, our mission was a… ehm…" Aurora tried to explain.
"We were a team" grinned Sting, throwing an arm around Aurora's shoulders, leaving the young god-slayer blushing furiously. Mira could see the blush and smirked, knowing what was going on.
"Nee, Erza and Gray?" asked Mira.
"They went to the Magical Prison with Morlyus…" said Lucy, whispering the last part, looking at Aurora. The brown haired girl had her attention on the white dragons-alyer who was really too close.
"Wait!" remembered Lucy. She raised up from her sit and started looking around the guild.
"Lucy?" asked Mira. "What are you looking for?"
"Oh no, she didn't…" mumbled the blonde mage to herself before she ran out of the guild.
"LISANNA!" Lucy yelled, trying to find the younger Strauss. She looked around only to see her white hair appearing between some bushes.
"Lisanna?..." asked Lucy. The Take-Over mage looked at her and then she quickly looked to the other part.
"Lucy, I am… Sorry." Whispered Lisanna. "I can't go there. They will hate me. They already do. I hurt you and Erza and Natsu and the others. I hurt Mira-nee and Elfman… I really should not be here Lucy…" she said, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Lisanna… They don't hate you. They never did. You know, after you came back from Edolas, the guild was happier than ever to have you here. They really did miss you. Look at Mira: she decided to transform herself in order to protect the others. As I heard, Natsu was the most affected one. And when you came back, all the pieces were in the right places! And don't blame yourself for what happened: you were possessed. It wasn't your fault so don't blame you. Mira is missing you for sure. You know, she has grey eyes like yours when you were possessed. Everyone will be happy, trust me.' Said Lucy, winking at Lisanna. With her eyes still watery, the white-haired smiled. They both hold their hands and Lucy opened the guild's doors slowly. All the noise disappeared and the opened doors revealed a certain white-haired mage. Many of them gasped, some were preparing for the worst. Only Mira was looking at Lisanna with a big smile on her face. Lisanna looked at the ground.
"Mira-nee, I am sor-" but she was cut off by Mira, running towards her.
"LISANNA! I KNEW YOU WOULD COME BACK" yelled the older Take-Over mage while hugging Lisanna. Everyone smiled and they all ran to the two white-haired girls, hugging them all.
"Minna… Thank you…" whispered Lisanna.
At the Magic Prison…
"Stupid kids…" mumbled Morlyus in his cell prison.
"Tch, can I freeze his mouth? He is annoying." Asked Gray. Erza glared at him and the Ice-Make mage only raised his arms in defense. Erza sighted and looked at the man in the prison cell.
"Why?" she asked in a low-tone. The man smirked but didn't answer. "We can kill you in any second" she said.
"Oh, Titania, you can't. I know the rules of your guild. You are not allowed to kill. You wish you could tho." Smirked Morlyus.
"Gray, we leave." Commanded Erza, walking slowly to the entrance. Dead silence. Gray sighted, looking at some shops.
"Erza, where are we going?" he asked. The scarlet-haired girl kept walking, not looking at the Ice-Make mage.
"To the guild, why?"
"Tch… Just askin'. You don't seem good since we got in Magnolia. You ok?" the raven-haired guy asked. Erza turned her body and looked at him. She then sighted and kept walking.
"Gray, your clothes."
"WHAAAAAA-?!"
8 months passed quickly. Aurora joined, with Cana, Lucy, Erza and Gray's team, forming one of the most powerful teams in Fiore. Aurora was well-known in Fiore for one of the best god-slayers, and Lucy for the power she achieved. She didn't use her 'Corrupted Form', how she calls it, using only 'Celestial Beams' or different spells which were not forcing her to reach her ultimate form. Everyone in Magnolia was sure Gray, Lucy, Erza, Aurora and Cana will be the chosen team for the Grand Magic Games and they will also get the first place.
Normal POV
"Hi guys!" greeted Aurora, walking slowly to the guild's bar.
"Yo, Auri!" yelled Cana, throwing an arm around her shoulder. "We were talking about taking another job. You coming?" asked the card-mage. Aurora rolled her eyes but smiled.
"Yeah, sure. I need some money for some books. Where's Lucy?" she asked. Cana only nodded her head as an 'I don't know' and focused her attention to another barrel of alcohol. Mira came, happy as always and the young god-slayer ordered her favorite juice. She raised up from her sit and went to the table with jobs.
"Catch thieves…" she whispered for herself. "…already did that 1 week ago… 'Find a lost book', already came from a mission like that… Nothing." she went back to her sit.
"Looking for something?" a voice whispered in her ear, causing her to punch the owner of the voice.
"OY, HOTTIE, WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!"
Aurora looked at the blonde guy who was rubbing his really red cheek. She rolled her eyes but an evil smirk appeared on her face.
"It was your fault. You should learn manners, you don't just come and scare people, girls, like this, whispering in their ears." She said before she went back to her sit. Followed by Sting, she drank from her juice and kept staring at a wall, trying to find a job in which she could go with Cana.
"Watch'u thinking about, blondie?" asked Sting. The god-slayer turned her head and shook her head.
"Nothing, just… Nothing." She said, smiling. He saw him blushing and then she remember the first mission with them and how far all of these went. After they finished the mission, Makarov and Sting agreed to make a contract in which Sabertooth and Fairy Tail are in some kind of a 'brotherhood'. Meaning tigers could come to their guild whenever they would like to and same was going for the fairies. She remember her first encounter with this little bastard who was standing next to hear. And then she remembered something. She leaned to the white's dragon-slayer ear.
"Ehm… what happened with your feels for.." she whispered, trying to finish the question but Sting turned his face and faced her, their faces being only some centimeters apart.
"I guess I got over it?" he said in an asking tone. She gulped, he was really close, she could feel his breath. She nodded before they 'broke apart', drinking again from her juice.
"Minna!" a well-known voice yelled from the entrance of the guild. Lucy and Lisanna were coming slowly to the bar, smiling.
"Lucy!" smiled Aurora. Lucy smiled and waved at Aurora and Lisanna waved at Mira.
"Yo, blondie!" said Sting. The Celestial Mage only rolled her eyes but smiled.
"Hey Sting!" she said. She sat next to Aurora. "So, what's up?". The god-slayer only sighted.
"Nothing much. No good jobs. Everyone took them…" she said. Lucy giggled.
"It's gonna be fine, I am sure."
"Lucy! Aurora!" said Erza, coming next to them. She smiled softly at the two girl-mages and then her eyes glared at the white dragon-slayer.
"Eucliffe" she said, in a low tone. Sting smiled.
"Yo, Scarlet!" he greeted earning an 'pft' from the S-class mage.
"So, I heard master has an announce today." She said, while ordering a strawberry cake. Lucy raised and eyebrow and sighted.
"Hope it's not about his stolen magazines…" she mumbled. She then looked around the guild to find some of their fellows coming back.
"Yeah, they all came here because master said so." Said Erza.
"EHH?! ARE YOU READING MINDS OR WHAT?!" yelled Lucy, a bit scared. The scarlet-haired girl didn't answer, being too lost in her delight of eating her favorite cake.
"BRATS!" someone yelled. Everyone looked up at the second floor to see their little master.
"So, as you know… 3 months until Grand Magic Games. But until then… We have our S-class mage exam." He said. Mumbles from the guild hall could be heard. Aurora looked at the master. 'S-class exam, ehh?' she asked in her mind. A smile appeared on her face. That was perfect! It was her chance to be an S-class mage!
"So, anyone want to be part?" No one answered. Mostly because some of them were already S-class mages or because they weren't interested. Aurora raised up only to hear Sting whispering.
"Hottie, the hell are you doin'…?" She only smirked and raised her hand.
"I WANT!" she said but her voice was also covered by another voice. She looked next to her to see a certain blonde, with her hand up, being serious. Makarov raised one eyebrow but his face softened.
"I see… This year tho, the rules will be different. Only one can be and S-class mage." Aurora widened her eyes, looking at Lucy. Her friend was also shocked.
"Why one, master?' asked Erza, but the little man only nodded his head.
"I have my own reasons. So, only Lucy and Aurora are in?' he asked. Dead silence. "Very well then. THIS YEAR, LUCY HEARTFILIA AND AURORA KEIKO WILL PARTICIPATE FOR THE S-CLASS EXAM! " he yelled. "Now, you can go back to whatever you are doing. NOT BEFORE!... Who stole my magazines?!" he yelled. Again. The whole guild went dead silence once again and the next second, everyone ran out of the guild's door. A vein popped up on his forehead before he sighted and disappeared in his office.
Lucy and Aurora looked at each other and smiled.
"So… I guess… we will be enemies?" asked Aurora, embarrassed. Lucy gave her a soft smile but then and evil smirk appeared on her face.
"I'll beat ya, don't worry about that!" Aurora only laughed.
"You wish, blondie!"
