A/N Here's the Eloria chapter and my semicolon key is sticky (fun times with your author :P). Anyway, I don't own Fairy Tail AND OMG MR. MOSEBY (from Zack and Cody) IS GOING TO BE ON JESSE I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!
Eloria was wandering around Crocus when she found herself in the memorial. The memorial was the angel equivalent to an Earthland cemetery. However, unlike Earthland cemeteries, the one in Crocus planted a cherry blossom tree for each new person. These memorials were more often used to honor rich and kind angels. Today, all of the trees were in full bloom. The Ice Form mage weaved her way through the pink sea and finally found a large tree in the center of the grove. Her hand gently stroked the trunk before her fingers began to trace the plaque. Eloria didn't even need to look at the fancy calligraphy to know what was written: Commemorating Regina Bane, a loving mother and wife.
"Hi mom. This is as close as I can get to talking to you. I know no one blames me, but I blame myself and I hate it. I hate it!" Eloria's voice rose into hysteria as she stared at the tree. Luckily, everyone else was getting ready for the Grand Clan Games, so Eloria was alone in the memorial. Sighing, Eloria sat down next to the tree. If she looked hard enough, she knew there was a tree for her brother but she didn't want to see it. It would only bring back worse memories.
"How is dad? Does he still collect those silly sweaters? I miss seeing him get a new one every day! I wish I still was with all of you but it's better for me here. I can't hurt anyone." Eloria shook her head. Since she wouldn't contact her family, this was the next best thing.
"I finally am in the GCG and I can't wait. I should probably get going. Tell brother I didn't mean it. Please." Eloria finally whispered before standing up and brushing the petals off her black shorts. Ambling towards the exit, her eyes saw a familiar name out of the corner of her eye. As if the tree were a Siren, she was pulled towards it without any thought. Sure enough, the plaque has a known name next to an equally familiar quote: Commemorating Zachary Bane, and showing you can overcome anything short of death. The words hit Eloria like a ton of bricks and she blinked harshly to stop the tears from falling. 'Stop feeling. It's so much easier when you're numb.' Eloria thought repeatedly while finally rushing towards the exit. Somehow, she managed to avoid the crowds and enter the hotel. It was five minutes after midnight and Eloria prepped herself for a lecture but was surprised to only see two others in the room. They were Wendy and Koih; both sleeping peacefully. Eloria decided to follow their example and hopped into an empty bed before closing her eyes. Once she let sleep take over, the visions came.
It was a sunny day and the sky was a light blue color. Laughter echoed through the silent city and Dream Eloria reached over to muffle the sound her brother produced.
"We're supposed to be inside the house studying right now; don't give us away!" She whispered before giggling.
"Mom and Dad won't notice. Want to go explore the woods?" Zachary asked, his eyes bright with excitement. Eloria looked on helplessly as she saw her Dream-self agree quickly. Eloria remembered this day. Following along, she watched herself and her brother sit by a small creek. 'It's about to happen.' Sure enough, the air grew chillier and her Dream-self relished in the cold.
"Should we go back?" Zachary asked Dream Eloria through chattering teeth.
"Don't be like that Squirt! You wanted to come here! We have hours to explore. You can go back if you want, but I'm staying here" Dream Eloria said firmly.
"NO! Leave!" Eloria screamed to her dream self and beloved brother, but it was too late. She watched helplessly as a few demons appeared from various places around the forest. Dream Eloria darted her eyes around wildly to find who was helping them, for no demons can enter Heaven without an angel.
"Sis, I don't have magic. Can you protect me?" Zachary looked up at his big sister with desperate eyes. The Dream Eloria bit her lip and shifted. Eloria knew why; back then, she was a weakling and couldn't control her magic. Still, she knew exactly what her Dream-self would say and do. Even know Eloria would throw away her life for her brother. That was the one constant in her life.
"Sure. Stay back." Then, Dream Eloria began to fire off weak ice spells, causing the demons laughing. Finally, they got fed up with her puny magic and grabbed Zachary. He was beaten while her Dream-self was restrained. Eloria watched on helplessly, for she couldn't move. After he was covered in bruises and blood, they finally stopped, disappearing into the shadows. She forgot about them in her worry for her brother, and focused on lifting him onto her back. She walked home, painfully slow, and stopped once she saw the house. Dream Eloria took a deep breath before screaming out.
"MOM! DAD!" Dream Eloria screamed so loudly other cities heard. The final thing she saw was her mother coming flying towards her before she passed out.
"-oria! Eloria!" Koih shook his friend as she screamed yet again. She finally woke and shot up while breathing heavily. All around her, the other Fairy Tail members were watching concerned.
"What happened?" Koih asked softly, which was different than his usual brash approach. Eloria shook her head slightly and he shot her a look that said 'this isn't over' before turning to Anarchy.
"Why don't you show everyone what you got today for our uniforms?" Koih suggested causally. The angel looked like she wished to protest but instead grabbed a small duffel bag.
"I was going to show everyone later this morning, but these are cloaks I got us for the games. Every cloak is feather light and has tailored wing slits so it will fit comfortably. Also, I had the maker infuse a certain magical thread into them so we can put our own magic into the cloak and use it as a shield. The girls have the black ones and the guys have the red ones. Luckily, these don't break any rules, since we have to power them using our own magic." Anarchy explained patiently and passed out the cloaks. Despite her nightmare, Eloria couldn't help but admire the detail. Barely noticeable on the back was a Fairy Tail symbol stitched into each cloak.
"Well, it's almost time for us to go for the games. Let's put on our uniforms" Mira said, after glancing at a clock in the large lounge. Lucy nodded in agreement and led the girls to a different room. Hesitantly, Eloria followed the crowd. After everyone got dressed, they put on their cloaks and even Eloria had to admit they looked pretty fierce. All the girls were wearing blood red fitted shirts that went to underneath their boobs and matching capri pants that hit the middle of their calves. Their black cloaks draped their shoulders and their wings were gleaming through the back. Their soulmate bandanas were either on their heads or wrapped around their wrists.
"We look awesome" Sting said loudly as he glanced over himself once more. The boys were wearing black muscle shirts and black plants. As a group they decided to all put their bandanas around their bicep. The bright red cloaks contrasted greatly with the black on their uniform. Quickly, they rushed to the stadium for introductions. Since there weren't many angels who weren't busy guarding their soulmates, only eight teams participated this Grand Clan Games.
Standing in one of the tunnels that led to the arena, Fairy Tail B Team was nervous. Well, everyone except for Koih; he was trying to get Eloria to talk about her dream.
"If you win your event today, I'll tell you." Eloria finally snarled at him just so he would shut up. She didn't want to reveal the truth but everyone else had already been so honest. Now it was her turn.
"Great" Koih said happily and turned to face forward. As if it was a signal, the lights suddenly flared up to form a giant pair of wings and a small platform rose up into the sky. On it was a small man with a pumpkin head. The crowd went wild at the sight of him.
"Please all Clan members call forth your soulmates!" The pumpkin man shouted. The stadium was filled with chants and names. Fairy Tail's B Team did the same and suddenly a bright white light poured into the tunnel. Once it died down, four people entered the small space. One was a cute bluenette, another was a white haired girl, the next had royal blue hair, and the final had scarlet red hair. They all looked around in confusion. Once they saw the angels, the lighter blue haired girl gasped.
"The transfer students!" She exclaimed.
"Not quite. Guardian angels? Yeah that's more like it." Sting corrected her. Seeing that Sting was being no help, Gray took over explanations.
"We are the soulmates of you people. I'm Gray and this is Sting, Jellal, Romeo, Eloria, and Koih. Now the show is starting so please go up into the Fairy Tail section and I promise we will explain soon." Gray told the girls and that seemed to calm them. With a sharp nod in the angels' direction, Erza led the other Earthland ladies to a section marked Fairy Tail. Inside the section was Bixlow and Loke both with their soulmate as well. After a few minutes, their other Earthland friends showed up. Everyone was thoroughly confused; Only Natsu had an explanation from Lucy. Alas, they couldn't ask their friend because he forgot what she had said.
"Now it's time for the Grand Clan Games! Kabo!" The pumpkin man winked, making the crowd bellow their approval.
A/N This took me so long and it's not good. Sorry. But hey we got to see Eloria's backstory kind of ish. The reason I couldn't post sooner was because I was failing a class so that was my top priority
But now I have an A in that class again so BAM new chapter. Also sorry for the formatting weirdness in this A/N and like two lines of the story idk what happened. Next chapter is battles and soulmate explanations.
QotC: What did you think about Insurgent (if you saw the movie)? AND Who is your favorite character in FT?
AotC: I thought the movie was alright if you looked at it as a stand-alone but it was a terrible adaptation! My favorite part (and like half the book) was cut out .
Favorite Fairy Tail Character is either Gray or Laxus. Idk why it's just easy to love them for me (I always have liked the asshole-y distant characters).
