Chapter 5

Glowing?

I do not own Fairy Tail or Gray ;)!

Today was a new day, and you know I really realized a lot of things starting from last month…

Mirajane can seriously cook

I have a deadly urge to hit the retarded old man

I have a memory I don't remember…

And I think I may have a crush on Gray…

Mirajane's cooking, eh I just love it! The thing about hitting Gramps is because ever since the surprise boat event he's saying things like "Brooke your finally starting to open up to the guild!" or "Ah… Brooke has grown up to be a great kid." Well guess what Gramps? I've only been here for about a month! And he hasn't even really raised me(kind of)! I sighed feeling tired.

Yes, I know I'm idiot. Who do I have a possible crush on? The guy who fights with Natsu all the time? The guy who has that awkward clothing issue? Yes. That would be him…

As for the memory thing, it really has been bothering me. For some reason ever since two years ago, there has been a friend that I just don't remember anymore. I met him around the age of fourteen when I was just hanging out at home. I remember a lot of things about him but the thing is I just don't remember his appearance… although I remembered he had meant a lot to me. He was smart, nice, caring, and he was the only friend that my parents didn't oppose to. But thing is lately every time I'm in the guild I feel as though he's there… but honestly, that still doesn't explain why I have a memory of him that's missing. Every time I think I'm getting close to who he might be or how he looks like, I can't remember my previous thoughts. And it's really bothering me because I HATE not knowing! It's really frustrating me lately. The fact that I don't who it is, is making me feel as though I can't trust anybody. It's like I always have to put my guard up. I sighed deeply just simply from being tired, it's like my life is either sophisticated or just plain friggin annoying.

It's funny though, I never really cared about that guy until now, and lately I kind of feels like I'm being watched and I don't like it…

Alright, that's enough just thinking about this stuff was starting to make my head seriously hurt. I feel so tired… I slowly walked out of my bed to look up in my mirror, and what I saw was a nightmare. My hair was still in "bed head" form, I had bags under my eyes, and my pj's were totally wrinkled. Well, at least now I know what to do… take a shower. I walked to my bathroom sadly I saw myself depressing self through the mirror and then spotted something. It was my necklace. My father had given it to me when I was about fourteen, it had a gold chain, with an emerald charm. The charm had had gold and emerald in it, the gold had been shaped into a heart, and inside the heart had been light shades of emerald in shaped of small leaves. Each leaf would be delicately traced out in thin gold, it was really my kind of style, after all my favorite color is green. But I couldn't help but smile, thinking of the first day my father had given me a birthday gift other than money…

Flashback

It had been right after I blew the candles off my cake. I hadn't invited anybody. It had just been a family birthday party, Mom, Dad, me, and a cake.

"Thanks Dad! This cake tastes awesome!"

He smiled warmly at me. Dad had worn a white button down, coming home from work. But that day he had especially looked happy, his light brown hair had delicately traced his face, showing his brilliant warm hazel shinning eyes, with his sharp nose (I always made fun of him for having a pointy nose), that was the first time I had ever seen him smile ear to ear.

"Brooke, I have a present for you. It was a special gift I had especially picked out for you, I'll go get it out of my room. Don't go anywhere!"

It wasn't as though I could go anywhere, but I was surprised. He never really cared about things I like, he'd always give me like 10,000 jewels and say "Go spend it on something you like." And then we'd have the usual party. But that day was different and honestly not to be sexist or anything but, since a guy will always be a guy, I had kind of guessed that it wasn't going to be a good gift…

"Stomp, stomp,stomp…"

As the footsteps became louder the more my heart pounded, What kind of gift would it be? Clothing? Or shoes? Does he even know my size for shoes?

"Tadah! I got you this necklace! What do you think?"

And of course, me being me, I ran up to it and automatically without realizing it I put it around my neck. My parents laughed at my excitement,

"Make sure never to lose it!~"

Dad sang happily as he washed the left over dishes from the mini party we just had.

Flashback Ends

Right before I knew it, I had really gotten older, doing other things. I sighed for like the I was a rich Mayor's daughter to being the average mage in Fairy Tail… Talk about a change in scenery. I put the necklace around my neck and head out for Fairy Tail. No matter what kind of crazy thing that happens to me, I know that as long as my friends are here, I'll be fine.

Well, this is the usual "Welcome Home" right? Here I was at the doors of Fairy Tail and I see this.

"Yo squinty I DARE you to say that again!"

Gray again had been screaming on the top of his lungs making my ears ring and and the guild shake.

"I SAID that you're a half naked Perv!"

And of course Natsu had screamed just as loud making my ears feel like they were vibrating. But the funny part was that if you went to the right side of the room it was extremely HOT. But on the left side of the room it was violently COLD. So it went like this if you go to the right side of the room you would die of getting a heatstroke. If you went to the left side of the room you would die of getting hypothermia. Basically you were choosing which way to die. So what did I do? Well, like other people I did what anyone would do… I picked up some random people's beer cups and threw at both at them I as hard as I could.

"Ow!"

They both screamed in unison. But even though they said ow, the cup I threw at Gray turned into a ball of solid ice and the one I threw at Natsu burned. So, it didn't really make sense for them to say what I threw hurt… but anyways it didn't matter to me, because all I felt at the moment was just plain annoyed.

"Jeez what was that for, Brooke? Did I deserve that?"

Gray whined loud while rubbing the back of head softly.

"Well if you really want to know, then yes. Yes BOTH of you deserved it because you almost killed everyone and made me lose half of my hearing. Is that enough?"

I replied irritably as I sat down. Jeez he's almost as dense as Natsu! Which is pretty bad, I'm starting to wonder, do I regret saying that I liked him? Now I'm totally confused. But while I was thinking frustratingly I couldn't help but notice that Gray had been staring at me the whole entire time, seeing this I blushed and turned around as my heart pounded in my chest. Man this isn't fair, why does this have to be a one sided thing? I've read fairy tales and they're nothing like this, when only ONE of them likes each other… now I know how many people in this world feel. I shook my head, this wasn't the time to think of this when he was right THERE! Turning around I asked,

"So have you been on any missions lately?"

This seemed to brighten him a little bit but just as he was about to reply, something bad happened…

He fell asleep

Wait did I get this right? I was trying to start a conversation and the first thing he does is fall asleep? But now that I think about it, for once, it was quiet… I looked up and the first thing I saw was sleeping faces. Erza was on the floor trying not to sleep and Makarov was just being himself staring at someone.

"Brooke, why is your necklace glowing?"

Makarov asked in wonder. I looked down, he was right… Why was my necklace glowing? Hearing footsteps I looked up to see who it was, and what I saw was a mystery. It was a man. No a teenager, just like me. He had a hat to cover his hair but some of his dark blue hair fell delicately across his face. He was wearing a long black jacket and a cloth to cover the bottom half of his face. But the tattoo around his right eye was what captivated me the most.

"Brooke?"

The mysterious teenager asked in a deep cautious voice. Wait… why does he know my name? Who is he? As far as I knew Fairy Tail didn't have anyone like him. So why is he here? But my name, my name, why does he know who I am? That was the one fact I still didn't understand. By this time I was shaking in suspense. Everyone was asleep and here was this guy who apparently knew who I was.

"Wait can you repeat that?"

I asked shakily. I didn't really know what to do but ask again, because hearing his voice made me… happy.

"Brooke?"

He said again as he fulfilled my request. That was all it took though. For me to remember I mean. The person I had forgotten for all these years was him. There was no mistaking it.

"Mystogan..."

I breathed as tears dreadfully came out of my eyes. It was him… It was really him and honestly now I don't know what to do. I felt clueless. Again, and again I just felt CLUELESS and I hate it! Why is he here? In Fairy Tail? Why did I forget him in the first place? So why did he come now? There are just so many questions that are unanswered, all this cluelessness I feel just keeps on flowing just like my tears… All this frustration, is driving me into a pit and it might be a long before I get out.

I know that was a little depressing but what did you think?

Hehe and sorry for not updating for like 6 months -_-
