Sorry everyone (or at least everyone who actually reads my fic) for the LOOOONNGG wait! College is harder than expected!! I'll try to update more often!! Ok let's start the tale!!
Tale 4
For several weeks sixteen year old Lina Inverse had had a fairy living in her room. No, she wasn't on crack! She actually had a 4 inch tall blue winged creature living with her in her bedroom. If you didn't know that, then read the last three tales to catch up! Anyway during those weeks Lina and her new fairy companion Amelia grew to become very close friends. They shared secrets with each other, gossiped, and did basicly what all teenaged girls did together. But poor Amelia was begining to become restless. She knew that she couldn't stay in the human world forever and had to find a way back home, even if it meant leaving her new best friend......
"Lina?" Amelia sighed as she looked out the bedroom window. The clouds were a dreary gray and black as the rain slattered rapidly on the glass of the window.
"Yes?" her human friend responded, not missing a beat as she speed typed on her computer.
"I'm going to have to leave soon...."
Lina stopped in mid-type
"Huh??" she said in suprise as she turned her chair towards the fairy on her bed.
"I'm going to have to leave soon" she repeated " You know, go back to the land of the Fairies"
"What? You don't like it here anymore??" Lina asked hurt clearly in her voice
"No! That's not it!!" Amelia cried, flying over to her red haired friend. She tried not to fly to fast because even though her wing was fully healed, it was still tender and had a ghastly scar running down it that reminded her of her "too close" incounter with death.
"I love it here and you too. But there are so many things that I miss just as strongly...my home, and friends...and ...and......"
"Zelgadiss?" Lina fulled in softly
"Yes..especailly him. Lately I have been feeling feelings I have never felt before and as each day passes the urge to see him grows even stronger. I mean, Gods! Everyday as noon comes and passes I feel this emptiness growing inside me. I feel like it is going to comsume me if I don't see him again. I have no idea what's wrong with me....I've never felt this way before.."
"You know what?" Lina sighed with a slight chuckle in her voice " I can comprehend how you feel, Amelia"
"Oh..." the fairy said, turning a bit pink at the cheeks " So that's how you feel about the big Golden giant..."
"Well.....yeah I guess. There are times when I can't stand to be around that knuckle-head Gourry and then there are other times when....I just can't stand to be away from him.....weird huh?"
"No..it makes perfect sense"
"Well then I guess we better make this quick" Lina sighed as she stood up
"Make what quick?
"Our goodbyes" she said curtly " After all, we *do* want you back to you home before noon tomorrow if you catch my drift"
"Oh Lina! But today is Saturday!" the fairy cried out in concern
"So what?" Lina replyed, confused by her friend's sudden rememberance of days. She usually didn't even know what time it was!
"Well today is the dance.....and I thought that you...maybe..."
"Would go with Gourry?" she finished for her
"Well yeah"
Lina sighed a bit and sat down on the bed.
"Well he didn't ask me"
"I'm sure he was going to Lina"
"Yeah right....he doesn't like me that way Amelia. I just got to get that through my thick skull"
"Lina..."
But the bigger girl ignored her and grabbed her rain coat and umbrella out of the closet.
"Just forget about it ok? At least we can make sure one of us has a good love life"
Amelia flew up to her friend and gave her a loving kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you Lina.....I just wish there was something I could do..."
"Well.." Lina said with a smile "You better just let leave the wishing to the humans"
"Where do you think you're going??" Lina's sister cried out in confusion as Lina raced out of the door
"Where I want!!"
"But Lina wait!!"
But her cried was cut short when Lina slammed the door in her face!
"Shouldn't you find out what she wanted?" Amelia asked from her human friend's pocket
"No way! She only wanted to bug me about something stupid I bet"
"Or maybe she didn't want you to be out in the rain" Amelia put in, still staring at the distanting house "It seemed like it was very important"
"What ever" was the responce as Lina ran into the deep woods.
"Now where did I find you?" she wondered to herself out loud as she looked around
"Well... there were ALOT of trees"
"Amelia...we're in the woods. There is nothing BUT trees!"
"The I guess I don't know"
"Hey here it is!!" Lina cried as she stopped at the spot
"How do you know?"
"Well look at that tree. It's all black and burnt from the Willowisp blood. Remember? When I accidently hit it with my Algebra book?"
"Yeah! When you saved my life!"
"It's a trip that it caused so much damage...."
"LINA!!!!!!" a voice called from the distance
"Who the heck is that????"
"Oh my...it's---"
"GOURRY??"
"Hey Lina!" the said boy said as he stopped in front of her. He bent over and took a few minutes to catch his breath.
"It's seems like I'm always running after ya" he chuckled
"What in the heck are you doing here??" Lina cried, still trying to get over the shock.
"Didn't your sis tell ya?"
"Tell me what??"
"My message. I left it last night, saying that I was comin' over today to study with ya. She said it would be ok....was it?"
"But...but....but what about the dance??"
"The dance? Ya mean the one today?"
Lina nodded numbly
"Ohhhh *that* dance! Well I didn't wanna go."
"You didn't??"
"Yep. Besides I was gonna ask ya but I figured that it wasn't your kinda thing. But I figured that was ok cause it wasn't my kinda think either. So I figured it would be better to go over to your house and study a little instend. And I figured that afterwards....you would like to hang out and go to the movies with me...maybe..."
"You *figured* all that huh?" Lina said shyly
"Yeah...I did.." Gourry smiled as a slight blush went across his cheeks "Was it kinda dumb of me?"
"Naw..." the other whispered looking at her toes " it wasn't dumb at all..."
"So what are ya doin' out here anyway?"
"Well...I..."
While the two teens where talking....something was watching them.
What were they doing there? the silent starker wondered. A place where one of it's companions had fallen. They had been searching for weeks but still they couldn't find that acursed fairy that slipped from their grasp! But they swore they would find her....and destory her...
"It's fine and good that you wanted to go on a walk, but why in the woods and in the rain come to think of it"
"Well I didn't have anything else to do" Lina lied
All they had to do was locate her...
But wait! What was that in the girl human's pocket...that thing that moved ever so slightly... and glowed with a faint light of.....blue
"Well do ya want to walk back to the house with me? It's gettin kind cold ya know, and we're gettin kind wet too"
"Well...I don't know...maybe---AH!"
Lina cut herself off with a gasp when suddenly a black streek whizzed past them!
"What was that?!" Gourry exclaimed "That looked like a glowing horsefly!"
"Oh no!" Lina cried as a feeling of ultimate doom passed over her "It's the Willowisps!"
"The Willow-what?!"
Suddenly a whole swarm of black things began to form above them!! It was obvious that they were going to attack!!
"Oh my god!!" Gourry gasped as he look up in confused horror
"Amelia get down!" Lina cried and then turned to Gourry as she pulled on his sleeve "RUN Gourry!!"
"You don't have to tell me twice!" he responded running with her
When she looked over her shoulder she saw that the deadly swarm was heading towards them fast!!
"What are those things?!"
"They're Willowisp!" she responded "And they're after Amelia!"
"Who's Amelia??!"
"I'm Amelia" said a little voice from Lina's pocket
Gourry almost tripped in shock!
"Lina there' s a person in your pocket!!!!"
"I think I know that Gourry!!"
All of a sudden a blast of dark energy erupted from the swarm causing the trees in front of their prey to fall on top of each other, blocking their way!!!
"Oh god we're trap!!" Gourry cried as they skid to a halt
"What are we going to do?!?!" Amelia sobbed
The swarm knew now was the perfect time to attack!!
"AAAHHHH!!" They screamed as the swarm began to bite and scratch at them. They tried to fight back, but it was no use! They were to many of them!!
"We're going to die..." Lina thought as she fell to the ground. The pain was to much for her and she knew that soon she was going to pass out.
"I....wish.."
"Lina hold on!!" Gourry cried trying to get to her
"I....wish..."
"Let go of me!!" Amelia screamed
"I...wish.." Lina felt her eyes closing "...we were somewhere safe.."
All Lina saw was a bright white light engulf her and her companions before she fell into unconsciousness..........
*******
"God...what a nightmare..." Lina groaned as she sat up and rubbed her soar head. She blinked her eyes in pain as the sunlight shined in her eyes.
But when she finally got them open she immediately wish she would have kept them close! What she saw before her was a razor sharp blade that was point straight towards her neck!!!
"Don't move..." the owner of the sword said "Or I'll slit your throat without even a second thought..."
"Oh....my....god....."
