It has been a total of six months since I became a slave. Millianna and I have grown almost inseparable and seems Erza has a crush on Jellal. My hair has grown down to my shoulders. My midnight to midday shift never changed and the others still works during the day. The others just came back from work and Millianna is sitting behind me playing with my hair. The air is still and quiet before Jellal suddenly speaks up.
"It's time," Jellal states, we all know that he is talking about our escape plan.
Millianna nods to me and I nod back. She smiles to me as we stand. We all go to a small hole behind a crate and follow Jellal into the hole. After a few minutes of crawling Simon points out that this escape is two easy.
"Yeah, it's way too easy. Something is wrong," I say from behind Millianna.
I look back behind us only to look up and bump face first into Millianna from behind. She was stopped due to Jallal having stopped at the exit of the hole. I squeak quietly along with Millianna.
"Sorry Milli," I whisper and she rubs my head to say it's okay.
We slowly crawl out of the tunnel. When we are all out the tunnel things take a bad turn. We are all looking right at the leaders of the group that has enslaved us.
"You brats are lucky we can't afford any more delays," The tall skinny man says.
"Yes so if you just tell us who came up with your plan we will take them and let the rest of you get back to work," The shorter fat man says.
I hide behind Millianna who is shaking almost as much as me, but she is clearly trying to be brave. We all go quiet for a few moments.
"It was me," Jellal says, cutting Erza off before she can say the same thing.
The fat man just laughs. "Brave boy, but we know it wasn't you. It was her and her," The fat man points to Erza then me.
Jellal and Millianna are both furious, but before Millianna can say anything I tug on her shirt.
"It's okay, I'll go." I tell her softly standing and going with the men.
I am taken away and I can hear them take Erza. They take us to a room with a large blue crystal and I blink in surprise. I know what it is. Frostmel told me about them. They are Lacrima, crystals that hold magic energy or Ethernano.
"A Lacrima?" I mutter only to be hit from behind.
"I knew you were someone who knows too much and is too smart to go easy on," I hear the guard who is always with me say. "You have been a bad girl and now it is time to be punished."
He takes and ties my hands together behind my back with my arms around a pillar. The same is done to Erza, but I am unable to see what more is happening to her as I begin to take a beating.
"I want you to remember me, never forget your King. My name is Zenif," The guard who is always watching me says.
Zenif resumes to beat me covers me in bruises. He is laughing sickly the entire time. It is like he is enjoying seeing me in so much pain as I cry out at each hit.
"Don't worry, I only want to make you feel pain. Lasting damnage will surely backfire on me. So you won't be losing body parts like some others," he says with a sick smile that seems oddly forced.
I soon pass out from the pain. My eyes are dry from all of the tears I have shed. When I wake I can hear Jellal helping Erza down from her pillar. I catch bits of what they are saying. I struggle to stay awake.
"The man beat her for hours. They only punished me for one hour," I hear Erza say before I pass out again.
The two seem to jump forward in time towards me. My vision blacks out just after each time it comes back. The pain in my body is immense. I feel my bindings cut and I fall towards Erza. She catches me as I pass back out. This time I don't wake right back up.
"We have to fight!" I hear Erza say as I wake up, back in the cell.
I feel droplets of water hit me on the forehead. I hear sobs from Millianna as she holds me close to her chest. She holds me tighter as I hear Erza starting an attack on the people who have kept us as slaves for the past six months. I am helpless to do anything as I lay, weak. Millianna stays with me the entire time. The rebellion, as the older people call it, lasts the entire day and by the next day we have taken a part of the island.
"Kiki, drink this," I hear Millianna says as I wake up. She had taken to calling me Kiki when we are alone.
I sit up and take the water she is holding for me. The water is in a small glass with a bunch of ice cubes in it.
"Sorry I got so much ice, I didn't want that much to come out," she says softly.
"It's okay, how are things?" I ask, starting to munch on the ice.
"We have taken blocks E and F today already. Erza wants us to move to Block C soon so she can save Jellal," Millianna explains.
As I eat the ice I can feel my energy rushing back.
"Wow! You look so much better already," Millianna points out as I continue to eat the ice.
"I do feel a lot better, and with each piece of ice I eat I feel ever more better," I say as I stand.
"Its's one of the dragons abilities," I suddenly hear Rob say. "If a dragon or dragon slayer eat their element then there magic energy is restored and boosted for a short time."
"I will join the fight. I may not know how to use my magic but I know I can do something," I say, my voice gaining a hint of determination on my Normally blank, serious, voice.
"Then I will join with you," I hear Millianna say with a fire on her voice.
We quickly head out to find the others. On the way I find a small room. I walk in and look around. The room has bamboo walls and a wood floor. A small pillow and a short table sit in the center of the room on a rug. On the table sits a Katana and a note. I walk up to the table and look at the note.
"Well it would seem I wasn't rough enough with you and now I have been cast out. So I leave you this to get yourself out. I have taken your safety into my own hands and tried to protect you as much as I could. The Heads knew you had too much power and were too smart to be dealt with like the rest of the slaves. My goal wasn't in line with theirs from the start. You are the most likely to fulfill his goals. He has given me this to give to you. It will aid only the queen of ice. He believes that you, Koi Night, are worthy of its power. May I see your mature beauty later in life. –Zenif"
I set down the note and take the sword. The sword shrinks to my size then another forms next to it. I hold the two swords in my hands and I can feel power surge though me.
"Kiki, your eye!" Millianna shouts in surprise.
I look at my left eye in the blade's reflection and see the three diagonal scars over it. I then notice an emblem in my actual eye. The emblem is in the shape of a cat's head with a scared eye like mine and a crown on its head between its ears. The cat gives a feeling of strength, but at the same time shows unrivaled beauty. I stare at it baffled and I hear Millianna giggle.
"It's just like you," She says.
The emblem is black to contrast my purple eyes and matches my black hair. I quickly notice that the emblem is also on the swords. The emblem is engraved just under the hilt of each sword.
I look at the swords and nod, ready to fight. I go to give Millianna one but I can feel the swords pushing themselves away from her.
No, she needs a weapon, even if she isn't worthy of the power in the blade. She needs only the blade itself. I cannot allow her to be harmed. As my mind focuses on giving her one of the blades to use the one blade feels like it submits and allows me to hand it to her.
"Take this, use it to protect yourself," I say as I place the blade in her hand.
She takes it and nods. We leave the room and head to find Erza and the others. It doesn't take long for us to find the others. When we do I hear a man yell something about magic soldiers. Everyone starts to run away as flying brown ghoul like wraiths start to shoot fire balls from their mouths. I can see Erza stand trying to keep everyone from running, trying to tell them to not back down, but they do anyway. They leave her open for the magic soldiers to all attack at once. I can feel the air go still as I realize they mean to kill her. With both hands on my blade I feel myself dashing towards Erza.
"You will not touch my friend!" I cry out as I move like the wind in front of Erza.
I swing my sword down on a fire ball that is coming straight for her. Unlike with Millianna the sword doesn't push away from the fire ball, but instead the swords seeks the fire ball. When the sword hits the fire the fire is shot back at the soldiers hitting one, destroying it. I stand ready to protect Erza, but soon all of the soldiers turn to us. They all aim for us and they all fire at us. There are hundreds too many to fight back on my own. I close my eyes but the fire balls never hit. When I open them I see the Fairy Tail emblem that lives on Rob's back.
"My magic may be weak, but it is still enough to protect the ones I love!" Rob shouts at the soldiers "there is so much potential inside of you two. Live long and grow strong," Rob says before sending a ball of fire at some of the soldiers, destroying them, but there is too many.
The soldiers launch an attack at Rob and he stands strong in front of us, protecting us. As the tears fall form my eyes Rob turns to dust, leaving only his shackles. Two large magic circles form under Erza and I. The circle under me is an icy blue with the emblem in my eye at its center. Erza's circle is a light red. Around me forms spikes of ice that aim for the magic soldiers. Around Erza forms swords, shovels, and other tools and weapons. Soon our attacks fire at the soldiers and we each take out half.
"We must fight if we ever want to be free!" Erza proclaims.
I stand and nod. "Freedom will never come to those who idly wish for it. Someone must step up and fight!"
People start cheering and rejoin the fight. We are soon on the verge of leaving the island. Ships are found and all that is left is Jellal. Erza and I go out to get him as everyone waits on the boats.
"Take this with you. I don't need it anymore," Millianna says and hands me the sword.
"I will be back soon. I will never leave you behind. You have kept me going this entire time. Without you I don't think I would have made it. I promise I will do everything in my power to come back to you safely," I tell her before hugging her. "Thank you. For everything."
I run off with Erza before Millianna can say anything to me. Erza and I rush towards the torture room with the lacrima. We run in and Erza rushes to Jellal I cut him free and she catches him.
"We are free Jellal," Erza says happily.
"There is no freedom in this world. Only in Zerif's world," I hear Jellal say.
I get a sick feeling in my gut and it is soon confirmed when he stands and kills the two leaders who walk in. He just snaps his fingers and they scream before vanishing. Erza and I step back.
"We won't be leaving. We will finish the construction of this tower: The Tower of Heaven," Jellal says.
Before I can say or do anything a large hand of black and purple grabs me. Its grip is crushing.
"I can see it in your eyes, you won't let me finish this tower. Will you Koi?" Jellal says and I glare at him.
"Jellal stop! You are hurting her! Why would you want to finish this we can all leave everyone is waiting on the boats." Erza says, trying to get him to stop.
"That isn't Jellal. Something is not right with him." I say as I struggle.
"If you will not help me then you must leave. I will just tell everyone that Erza took you and left us all." Jellal says and I am blown out a wall. Erza along with me. "Tell anyone about this place and everyone dies. Including Millianna," Jellal adds before everything goes black.
