Chapter Four :
Amnesiac's new residence
"Let me get this straight," Shinra started raising his hand up to stop the amnesiac from talking "basically you woke up in a hospital with no memories, then my father just randomly decided to adopt you and instead of taking care of you himself he hands you over to us?" he asked a in a deadpan
"That sums it up" the amnesiac confirmed with a nod before taking a sip of the tea that Celty brought for her, she was sitting on the couch across from Shinra and Celty fiddling with her messenger bag
[This is a lot to take in...] Celty typed
"Uh-huh," Shinra nodded in agreement rubbing his temples "Sorry for acting like this, it must not be very welcoming, huh?" he asked sending an apologetic look at the amnesiac
The amnesiac shrugged "I wouldn't know, amnesia, remember?" she asked with a small smile
Celty shook her neck before typing something on her phone, she then showed it to the amnesiac [Do you really remember nothing?]
The amnesiac stared at the question, Fairy Tail. "No, I really don't" she lied with an apologetic look
[I see...I hope you get your memories back soon]
The amnesiac smiled and nodded in agreement, then she stared at the yellow helmet making Celty squirm a bit "Why are you wearing a helmet indoors?" she asked with a frown "Is it my fault?"
[N-no!] Celty immediately denied [I-it's j-just complicated...?]
"She's going to be living with us, so she'll find out sooner or later" Shinra said, "Better she knows it now"
Celt would have sighed if she had a head, [Yeah, you're right.] she type before turning to a confused girl [I'm going to show you something, please don't freak out]
"Sure?" the amnesiac said, it came out as a question but it didn't really matter.
Celty brought her two hands slowly to her helmet before taking it off.
The amnesiac stared at where she was sure a head should be, she was sure that Celty was defying the laws of multiple subjects including biology and nature, not to mention that a human couldn't be alive without a head. And that's without including the weird black substance around Celty's neck.
"I think she went into shock..." Shinra mumbled
The amnesiac blinked "You don't have a head" she stated
[I do, I just lost it.] Celty corrected
"You lost your head" the amnesiac deadpan, 'How can someone lose their head in a literal sense? So does the head just come off when she wants it to or does she carry it around like a...' her thoughts trailed off as her eyes widened in realization
"You see, Celty's an Irish fairy.." she briefly heard Shinra said as her thoughts went back to the book
Her hands went to her messenger bag searching for the book Shingen lent her, when she found it she flipped over the pages until she stopped on a specific one. "The dullahan is a headless rider, usually on a black horse who carries his or her own head under one arm. The dullahan uses the spine of a human corpse for a whip, and their wagon is adorned with funeral objects (e.g. candles in skulls to light the way, the spokes of the wheels are made from thigh bones, the wagon's covering made from a worm-chewed pall or dried human skin). When the dullahan stops riding, that is where a person is due to die. The dullahan calls out their name, at which point they immediately perish. There is no way to bar the road against a dullahan—all locks and gates open to them when they approach. They do not appreciate being watched while on their errands, throwing a basin of blood on those who dare to do so" she recited from the book before looking back at Celty
"So you're a dullahan" the amnesiac concluded
Shinra nodded "Yeah, she's searching for her head"
"Good luck then" the amnesiac wished
[Wait...aren't you freaked out?]
The amnesiac frowned "It's a lot to take in, but I'm not really freaked out. I actually think faeries are cool" she informed with a small smile looking at Celty in awe "So the fact that you actually exists makes me happier than you could imagine" And might be a clue to the meaning of 'Fairy Tail'
[Thank you, for not freaking out like most would. :)]
The amnesiac smiled "No problem, I should be thanking you for existing"
[...you're an odd one]
"I'll take that as a compliment" the amnesiac cheekily said
Celty shook her neck at the amnesiac before typing something else [The guest room is a bit dirty right now, I'll clean it up tomorrow. Would you mind sleeping with me tonight?]
The amnesiac looked at the message, an image of what appeared to be an older version of her sleeping with a pink haired boy and a blue cat on the same bed flashed in her head before disappearing.
"Maybe she's shy?" Shinra asked earning the amnesiac's attention
The amnesiac shook her head "No, I was just lost in thought" she assured 'What was I just thinking about?' "I don't mind"
Shinra seemed to deflate "There goes my chance to sleep with Celty..." he muttered to himself
