Hiding something - Chapter 9
Natsu and Gajeel finally defeated Laxus and the thunder legion. The thunder legion were pardoned for their mistake but Laxus was not let off so easy. Master Mackerov kicked him out off fairy tail, for what he'd done was unforgivable. The festival was great too, some made floats together others were alone. Natsu couldn't do much because of how gravely injured he was same for Gajeel but never the less they made an effort. Nina joined them too but she couldn't show off her magic like Erza, Natsu and Gray because if the people found out she would be turned in, to the Wizards council.
Three days have past after the festival. Since she left Nina has been keeping a secret from the others, but today she's going to tell them, or at least Gray. She spots a seat next to Gray in the guild hall, next to the rest of their team. This is the perfect opportunity she thinks, she rushes to the spot before someone else takes it.
"Hey, look who decided to show up," says Natsu.
"Hi Nina, how was your break?" Asks Lucy.
"It was okay, I guess." She says.
"I assume your ready to get back to work," says Erza.
"Yep, I've sorted myself out. Actually I came here to tell you guys what happened... that is if you wanna know." Says Nina.
"Yeah sure I'm quite curious about what happened at the island." Says Lucy.
"Well, after we split up Gray and I found a cave which leads to the river of lost souls. There I was able to communicate to with the spirits who watch over the island, but I also was able to communicate with an old friend Siegrain. He told me that you were in danger because his twin brother Jellal was trying to lure Erza to make her a sacrifice. And.."
"Wait a minute, you know Jellal? And Siegrain, Jellal's so called brother that doesn't exist." Says Natsu.
"What!" She says.
"While you were away we ran into Jellal and stopped him from resurrecting Zeref." Says Erza expressionless.
"And turns out, Siegrain one of the ten wizard saints was just an illusion," continues Lucy.
"No, you don't have the whole picture, I heard about all that stuff but there's more to it." Says Nina.
"Well then, how about you start from the beginning," says Gray and after a pause "the real beginning."
"When I was five I used to dream about going anywhere other than the island, so I borrowed a boat and headed toward the mainland in the middle of the night. When I reached I met a boy, well actually two boys who were brothers, Siegrain and Jellal, we became good friends after time and we used to play out in the woods so no one would find out about me. One night Siegrain got bitten by an enchanted snake and the only save him was back on the island so we took him there and my mother the chief was furious, but she agreed to help him on the condition that I would never see them again so I agreed. Not long after that these wizards started capturing civilians of their home town. And Erza like you Jellal was captured. Siegrain tried to bargain for Jellal's life but failed because their parents had paid the wizards to leave Siegrain and not Jellal. Recently before you defeated him Jellal had returned to the town and he killed his twin brother then threw his body into the river of the lost souls, because he was jealous of how their parents had chosen Siegrain over Jellal." Explains Nina.
"That doesn't explain what you were looking for." Says Natsu.
"Well turns out Jellal leaked the info about my wizards through the Siegrain illusion and my power wasn't strong enough so everyone died, that's it for my story, I have a feeling, was it Mystogan, the one who found me. Well a way he must have wiped out my memory." Nina says.
"We don't need to know anymore, the main thing is that your back, just in time to come with us for our new job." Says Erza.
"Now that the team is officially here we can get a job to help pay Lucy's rent money." Says Happy cheerfully.
"Better yet, I found the perfect job." Says Lucy.
"We can set off tomorrow around ten, Natsu, Gray make sure your here on time or else..." Says Erza.
"We promise we'll be on time you can count on us." They say in unison, each one as scared as the other.
That's all about Nina past. The rest will be the quests the team go on with twists.
