Fairy Tail V/ D

Chapter 18: Reborn

By: JellalRaven

Luke's POV.

My head hurt. I did not know where I was or if I even was alive. I did not see anything. Everything was dark. Everything was quiet. I tried to scream but I could not even open my mouth. I tried to reach out to grab something, but my arm would not move. Was I dead? Did the explosion kill me? Was this Purgatory? Was this the after-life I was doomed to endure?
I desperately tried to move, to scream, to make the tiniest of noises.

I am not dead! I told myself. I cannot be!

Within the darkness I could feel a slight warmth. A tingling in my body started. I could feel my blood flow faster and my heart pumped at an alarming rate. And soon enough, my body started to hurt. A pain unlike any other, a pain that cause my body to suddenly spasm. I could not scream. My lungs filled with fire and my throat dried out. I was thirsty, hungry and tired. I wished that Erza would save me, that anyone would save me. What was this torture that I had to endure? Was this a punishment for my sins?

Just kill me already! This pain… I WANT TO DIE!

"Sadly, I cannot let that happen!" A female voice said.

I opened my eyes…

I was lying on a bed. I was dressed in a white pajamas and my leg was covered in bandages. My head still hurt. I blinked a few times as I still could not see clearly. The room I was in was spacious and the sunlight from outside shined through a stained glass window. The walls, made from black obsidian. A mirror was hung on the wall opposite the window.
My head hurt. I rubbed it and flinched. I had something hard stuck to my head. It was pointy at the end. HORNS!? I had two horns on my head. I started to panic. Had I died and gone to Hell as a demon?!

"What the hell!" I jumped out of the bed and looked myself in the mirror.

In front of me was a tall man with red eyes, long white hair and two blue, demonic-looking horns. I looked at my hands, I had longer fingernails. They were like claws. I opened my mouth, I had fangs. I looked like a vampire. I had grown quite a bit. My muscle mass had expanded and I had grown a whole foot. I even had blue scales forming around my shoulders and feet.

"What the hell... " I repeated.

"Oh, you are awake!"

I turned around and saw a woman. No, a demon standing with a basket of clothes in her hands. She was beautiful. Long dark blue hair. Yellow, almond-shaped eyes with long eyelashes, she too had blue horns, very similar to mine. She wore a white kimono with a fire-pattern and her hair had a red ribbon in it. (Not to mention a bust to rival Erza's)

"Who are you!?" I asked, as I stepped away from her.

"No need to fear, darling!" She chuckled, putting down the basket of clothes. "You are in no danger. You are home!"

"My home is Fairy Tail! Now answer me, who are you!"

"So you really don't remember anything?" The woman looked shocked. "You really don't know who I am?"

"No…"

The room suddenly turned cold.

"How sad…" A young-looking man walked into the room, dressed in black. His long, black hair almost covering his face. He was holding a book. "Carmilla, I am sorry! But if he cannot remember who he is he is useless to us! I won't have him become a liability to us! Not now when the World-slayer project is so close to perfection! We have better demons as candidates."

"Back off! He will remember!" The demon woman hissed. "Don't you have something else to do? Maybe looking for master Zeref? Or tending to that slut you insist is worth more than my son!"

Son?!

The black dressed man chuckled, waved and left.

"What do you mean by 'son'?" I asked the woman.

"In time I hope you can remember… But know this! I have always loved you and cared for you! I am so sorry for all the pain you have gone through!" She started to cry. "I have no right to be this happy… Not after everything that you were put through! But I am so happy to see you!" She took my hands and held them tightly. A bolt of lightning went through my body.

"I remember these hands…" I whispered.

Long back, back before I joined Fairy Tail. Before I met Erza, Natsu and Master. Long before I even knew of magic or guilds. I remembered these hands. Not the woman, she was different. Younger and strange.

"I am not like the old me… But I remember every day I spent with you! Every moment of every hour!" She placed her hands on my cheeks. "My darling boy… Do you remember me?"

Her smile… Her eyes… Her aura… Her very nature and scent… I knew this woman, but back then she was different. Older and known. Someone I loved… Someone I looked up to and cared for. Someone who had been my teacher and mentor as well as my family. Someone I had forgotten about. Someone I no longer knew.

"Do you remember me?" She asked again, tears streaming down her eyes.

I felt my own tears running down my face. I did remember, not everything, but enough…

"Mother…"

…

To be continued… ?
