I never wanted this moment to end. I thought I would never see Gray or Lyon again. I had heard of Ur's demise, but I didn't believe it until I passed Ultear in my travels. I had mistaken her for Ur in the beginning, but how could I have possibly known that Ur's daughter lived?
Gray pulled away from me, although I wished he hadn't. "Where have you been?" he asked sternly. His face was serious. Knowing Gray this was his way of proving she was who she said she was. I motioned for us to sit at a table and we sat down next to each other.
Even though her story was not a happy one, the memory of the night brought her a sense of joy. "Ur never let us out late at night. You never knew when a snowstorm would hit. But, that night when it started snowing... Lyon wanted to play in the snow rather than stare at from the window." From Gray's face he remembered the story, but I continued anyway, "Eventually, Lyon conviced us it would be okay... So we went outside and we had so much fun. Even though we didn't use any magic that night it was one of the most magically nights I'd ever had." I let out a soft laugh and a smile. I turned to look at him, he was silently crying.
"Gray, none of what happened was your fault. Or Lyon's." I couldn't help but try to reassure him.
"Then who? Tell me who is to blame!" he shouted and slammed his fist down on the table.
I looked down at the table. He wanted someone to blame? "No one... I know that you, Lyon and Ur were looking. But there was no way you could have found me!" Only part of it was a lie.
The snow began to fall down faster and faster. I had strayed off to follow a small cat, but when I caught up to the kitten... it wasn't a cat. She glared down at me and for the first time in a long time I was terrifed. I wanted to scream, but I couldn't... then it all went black.
I woke up in an unfamiliar place. I felt weak and helpless. "Gray! Lyon! Ur!" I shouted into the nothingness. A light appeared, a lacrima screen? In the screen I saw them looking for me. "Kira!" they called out. Tears poured down my face as Ur fell to her knees sobbing.
"Where were you!" Gray demanded. He had gotten the entire guilds attention. But I didn't want to be a spectacle.
"I was kidnapped! The council ended up finding me and taking care of me up until now. Are you happy? I was tortured emotionally. I watched you, Lyon and Ur all cry for me believing I was dead. After all these years I couldn't face you. I wasn't strong enough to free myself. I wasn't worthy of being Ur's student."
There, I'd let it all out. It was all off my chest.
