Chapter Two: The Misunderstanding
"Ugh." Aidan rubbed his head as he opened his eyes to discover that he was in an unfamiliar room. He attempted to raise himself off the bed he was in, but pain and exhaustion washed over him, and he fell backwards into the bed. "Well look who's finally up." a sweet voice remarked. Aidan quickly turned his head to face the source of the voice. He saw a woman who seemed to be in her mid-twenties, her blue hair tied back into a ponytail. "My name's Wendy Marvell, by the way." she told the bedridden boy. "I'm Fairy Tail's main healer, but I'm also a Sky Dragon Slayer."
Aidan looked at her in surprise. Another Dragon Slayer? Wow, Fairy Tail must have a lot of those guys...wait a second... His face contorted into one filled with panic as he attempted to rise once more, then fell back down. I'm in a fucking wizard guild! To make it worse, it's the strongest one in all of Fiore! He looked back at Wendy, who had a confused expression on her face. "Are you okay?" she questioned. Aidan swallowed in an attempt to clear his throat, then said "Am I in your guild hall right now?"
She nodded, still looking at him with a worried face. "Right now, you're in our medical wing right now. You can leave once I approve of your physical and mental conditions. For now, just lay down and rest." Aidan groaned, already scolding himself for being so careless. This is just perfect. he thought sourly as he felt his drowsiness win him over. At least they don't seem like bad people. With that thought in mind, Aidan grudgingly allowed himself to fall back asleep. However, once he fell into a deep sleep, Wendy silently stood from her chair, and cautiously made her way to the door, and exited the room, careful to not make any sounds.
What is this? A P.O.V. change?!
Alyssa Redfox was incredibly irritated as she sat at the bar in Fairy Tail's guild hall. If that boy hadn't interfered, her job wouldn't have been a complete failure. Those wizards that he had scared off were supposed to be their key into the dark guild Avatar's operations. They should've learned not to show their fucking faces after the beating our parents gave them all those years ago. she thought angrily as she drank a cup of hot cocoa. She heard footsteps approaching, and turned to see Emma and Darius walking towards her, looking everywhere but each other. Seriously guys, that idiot's right: it's really obvious. Alyssa inwardly sighed, then spoke to the two. "So, did Wendy say anything about him?"
They both sat down next to her, and was silent before Darius spoke quietly. "He's not a Dragon Slayer like we are." She frowned. "How the hell can he not be? We all saw him use Dragon Slaying magic!" Emma leaned forward to face her. "He already told us! He can just copy magic he sees!" Alyssa slammed her fist onto the bar and crushed the surface, leaving a little crater. "Bullshit! No one has ever heard of magic like that before, and I'm not going to start-" A figure behind the bar made its way to the trio, and Darius and Emma held their breath once they saw her approach. Alyssa noticed their faces, and turned behind her to see what they were looking at. "What're you guys looking at? Oh..."
Mirajane Dreyar stood before them, smiling 'gently' at them. "Alyssa, what seems to be the problem?" Alyssa felt chills go down her spine, and she could feel Emma and Darius scooting a little back. "Nothing Mira. Nothing at all." Still, Mirajane smiled at her, and Alyssa felt like she was being read as though she was an open book. "I see." was the simple reply. "Well, just please refrain from swearing out loud, or damaging the property in the future. Okay, Alyssa?" Without waiting for Alyssa to answer, she seemed to glide away to another customer down the bar. Oh dear god, that woman fucking terrifies me. was all that occupied Alyssa's head at that moment.
She glared at Darius and Emma, who were both looking extremely guilty. "Thanks for leaving me alone to face her, assholes." she whispered to them, making sure she couldn't be heard swearing by anyone other than them. "Sorry, Alyssa." they mumbled back to her. Suddenly, Alyssa felt a hand on her shoulder. "Alyssa, honey, why the sour face?" Levy Redfox stood next to her, looking upon Alyssa with a worried face. "Mom! You're back!" Alyssa cried, and almost crushed Levy in a bear hug. "Alyssa!" she squealed. "Too tight!" Alyssa released her, a sheepish look on her face. "Whoops. Sorry mom."
"Geehee. I'm not surprised she's that strong. After all, I am her father." A huge man towered over the both of them, but Alyssa's smile only grew wider. "Dad!" Alyssa tried to actually crush him with her hug, but the man simply laughed it off. "Gajeel!" a voice screamed. Gajeel was fast enough to push Alyssa towards Levy before he was engulfed in blazing fire. Behind him,Natsu Dragneel stood, looking downright pissed. "You were supposed to wait for me before you took on that fake-dragon, you jerk!" A hand swept through the fire from within it, and it dispersed to reveal one partially singed, and fully pissed off Gajeel Redfox.
"Hey Flame Brain, you almost harmed my daughter with that attack! Are you that much of a fucking retard?!" Natsu's eyes widened, then turned to stare at Alyssa, who was glaring at him. "I'm so sorry, Alyssa!" he cried, and tried to get to her to bow and apologize again. However, before he could reach her, a pillar of iron slammed into his side, knocking him away. "As if I'll let you near her now, Salamander! I'm going to kick your stupid ass into next week!" Gajeel roared as he ran at the dazed it could turn into a brawl, a wall of ice appeared, separating Natsu from Gajeel.
"Both of you take a chill pill." announced Grey Fullbuster, who stood at in the doorway of the guild. "You're both adults, so it's time to start acting mature." he lectured the two Dragon Slayers. "Grey-sama!" a woman shouted from behind him. The man's eyes bulged and his face turned an interesting shade of white before he bolted to the staircase, and all but flew up it. "Don't tell her where I am!" he screamed as he scurried to find a hiding spot. A woman in all blue ran into the guild. "Grey-sama, where have you run off to now?!" she cried, scanning the guild multiple times for her beloved.
"Kekeke! The stripper's up there, Juvia!" The pink haired Dragon Slayer yelled to the frantic woman, who immediately dashed to where he was pointing. "I hate you Natsu!" Grey shouted as he jumped over the railing back to the ground floor, and sped out the guild. "Grey-sama come back! Juvia still wants thirty two more babies!" Juvia proclaimed as she chased Grey into the streets of Magnolia, heading to God knows where. Natsu just laughed his ass off, while Gajeel just glared at them as they disappeared. "Seriously, what's their problem?" he muttered.
A chair was thrown to the back of his head, which obviously forced his full attention on the one who threw it. "Let's fight Mr. Da-De-Der-Do! I wanna see if you're any stronger than when we last met!" At that moment, Gajeel's rage broke. "For the last fucking time, it's sho-be-do-ba you fucking retard!" Before anyone could stop them, they launched themselves at each other and started an intense brawl. They were rolling around on the floor brutally damaging each other, physically and mentally. Levy sighed, blushing from embarrassment. "Sometimes I wonder if those two have matured at all."
A hand appeared on her shoulder. "Don't worry, Levy. I'm pretty sure your husband is mild compared to what Natsu gives me." Levy turned and saw Lisanna smiling at her. "He's so annoying sometimes, I wonder why I even wanted to marry him in the first place." Lucy Dragneel sighed. Levy turned to face her. "'I'm sorry, Luce. I didn't hear what you said. I was looking at Lisanna over there for some reason." She pointed towards a table in the distance, where Lisanna was still waving hello towards the two married women. From far away.
Lucy sighed and withdrew her hand. "I swear Levy. Sometimes I just don't know what goes on in that head of yours." Levy giggled, then looked back at her daughter, who had sat back down at the bar amidst the chaos, and continued to sip her beverage. That's weird. Levy thought. Normally, she'd be egging Gajeel on if she saw him fight. She made her way to Alyssa, and sat down next to her. "Hey honey, what's wrong?" she asked, truly perplexed by her daughter's actions. Alyssa turned to look at her, a brooding expression on her face. "Darius, Emma and I found a boy while we were on our job."
Levy smiled nervously, not sure where Alyssa was going with this. "And you thought he was hot?" she quipped. Alyssa's face blushed. "Fuck no!" Levy pinched her ear and pulled it, causing Alyssa to mutter "Ow. Ow. Ow." Levy had a stern, motherly face. "Alyssa Cali Redfox, you know better than to swear. Especially in front of your mother." Alyssa mumbled "Sorry." and Levy released her ear. "Ok, so you aren't attracted to him. So what's the deal with him?" Alyssa just stared straight ahead at the wall, wearing a blank look on her face. "He was able to cast Fairy Shield, Lightning Flame Dragon Roar, and Iron Dragon Roar in less than ten minutes."
"He what?!" The voice that exclaimed that was not Levy's voice. The two females turned to face Gajeel, who had been able to hear his family via his enhanced hearing while he fought Natsu. He stopped the fight to speak briefly with Natsu, who nodded as if he understood. Then, he sauntered over and gazed at Alyssa. "He casted those three spells in that short of a time span?" he inquired, and Alyssa simply nodded in response. "He said that he uses magic that allows him to copy other people's magic, and use it himself." Both her parents were incredulous. "You're kidding, right?" Gajeel asked her. "I've never heard of that kind of magic before." Alyssa nodded again. "Me too, but I can't think of anything else that would make sense." she spoke softly, clearly still lost in thought.
"Actually, I think there's a book in our library at home that talks about such magic." Levy piped up, and both Alyssa and Gajeel stared at her. Then, Alyssa stood up and began to walk out the guild. However, before she could make her way to the door, she smelled an unusual scent in the air. Murmurs of surprise and confusion filled the air behind her, which was where the smell permeated from. She turned around, and saw a boy her age with shaggy black hair, and piercing blue eyes. "So...Alyssa, was it? It was nice yesterday, but I really need to go home now. Would you mind dropping me off at the place you dragged me from? I'd really appreciate it."
There was a grand silence throughout the guild. Then, woots and catcalls were made by the surrounding wizards, much to Alyssa's confusion. "Wow, didn't see that coming." One bystander said. "Alyssa falling for some dude? God, I'm getting old." Alyssa, upon hearing this, felt her face heat up. "You slept with my daughter, shit bag?! I'm going to mutilate you!" Gajeel roared, while Levy hid her blushing face. Mira just smiled serenely, her only words being "Oh my." Darius and Emma simply laughed their asses off at the complete misunderstanding everyone seemed to have.
All of Magnolia heard the commotion Fairy Tail was emitting that day, but none of it was as loud as the voices of two embarrassed teens that screamed "It's not like that at all!"
And that's my 2nd chapter! Sorry if my writing isn't that good, it's not really my forte anyway. However I'm really into fanfiction, so my story itself is (hopefully) entertaining. I'll try to update as frequently as I can and reply to your comments, but until then thanks for reading my story!
