Hi readers! So sorry that it has taken me a little over three weeks to get back to this story. I just went on a trip to Washington DC(Capital city of USA) with a group of friends and let me just say it involved some of the most serious and crazy partying I have ever done. Anyway sorry about the wait and thanks fro reading! ENJOY!
Zera's POV
"You're luck Makarov! If I had arrived and she had died you would have been next to kick the bucket." she said.
"I understand first master." he said.
"Now, tonight I will keep watch over her, but tomorrow we are putting a railing up. Am I understood Zera?" she said looking right at me and the pixies.
"Yes Mavis." I said quietly looking down as the pixies allowed me to grow to normal size again.
"Good, now time for some rest. Its been a long day." she said and we left the master's office. We flew up to my platform and I laid down on my hammock. I fell asleep with hope in my heart. I was now with a person who knows everything about me. I know that there isn't a set of worried parents out there looking for me. And best of all, I realized that this guild will always be home.
I woke up and it was a day just as any other, except for that fact that Levy, Mavis, Erza, Mira, Natsu, Lucy, Grey, Wendy and Carla were all up on my platform. I quickly jumped out of bed and looked around. Something was different. I noticed a railing had been put up around the edge. It was probably the work of Levy. I noticed that Natsu and Grey were shoving each other trying to see out my window. You could probably see all of Magnolia out that window. I then noticed Lucy going through my books with Levy while Mira and Mavis were trying to convince Erza that looking through all my things wasn't a good idea. Finally I saw Wendy and Carla deep in conversation with Cordelia and Oriel. Wait... Someone is missing... Where's Happy? I wondered.
"On your head!" I heard Natsu call. Maybe I was thinking out loud.
"Yes you are thinking out loud so you might as well just talk to us Zera." Grey said. Right my name is Zera.
I reached up and I took Happy down and cradled him in my arms, looking at his adorable contorted face. He must have been having a strange dream. I then set him down on my hammock with a blanket and walked over to Mavis.
"Um... Mavis can you help me shoo everyone out of here so I can change and get ready for the day?" I said feeling a little awkward.
"Oh yeah, sure!" She said smiling. She then walked over to everyone else and started yelling at them telling them it was time to get off the platform.
Once everyone was gone, Mavis came over to me and looked through my clothes with me. After we had been through almost all of my clothes she said, "Oooo you should wear this you'll look so pretty!" I looked at the outfit she had picked out and it was quite a good choice. I quickly took it and went to change. I came back a few minutes later and looked in the mirror.
I was wearing a pair of white jean short shorts, mid thigh black boots, a flowy turquoise top, black leather jacket, a long gold necklace with an owl charm, a matching bracelet and set of earrings and pulled the sides of my hair back in two braids and left the rest down and flowing. I loved it. I then turned to Mavis. "What do you think?" I asked
"You look great!" she said.
"Awesome!" I said and ran right over to the edge of the platform. I jumped over the platform before Mavis could say anything, and caught myself on a ball of water again. Everyone in the guild hall looked stunned. "That was so fun!" I yelled. "I want to do it again."
"Well would you look at that." Mavis said as she reached the ground, "You are becoming your old daring self again. You used to pull stunts like that all the time and scare your parents half to death and me half past death."
Everyone in the hall laughed. "You are definitely going to fit in here you crazy little dare devil." Mira said as she patted the top of my head and I smiled.
"Thanks Mira!" I said happily, "I'll see you all later!" I yelled and ran to the doors with Mavis following close behind.
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" Mavis yelled after me.
"Well I have to learn how to use my magic, come on great grams!" I said and ran a little faster while hearing the quiet laughs from all my guild mates as everyone looked at a the young girl that is Mavis and just thought about how old she really was.
I finally stopped running about ten minutes later and settled down in a clearing. I sat in the shade for a minute waiting for Mavis to catch up and when she showed up at the edge of the clearing, I ran up to her and in circles around her. "Okay Mavis what are we going to do first?"
"Okay..." She said and thought for a moment before saying, "Well the first thing that Zeref had us do was meditate so lets start with that."
"Okay..." I said and sat in the shade of the clearing. I focused my thoughts and little by little I could feel something start to grown inside of me. I opened my eyes to find myself illuminating the shade of the tree I was sitting under with a white light. I looked at Mavis in disbelief. "A-am I-I d-d-d-d-doing thi-thi-this." I said shocked and stuttering.
"Yes you did." she said looking very content with my new found process.
"Okay, what is the next step?"
"Well Zeref had us go around trying to figure out what our power was, but we already know yours. The next was creating and learning spells to perform. You already did that years ago. I remember all of them so I'll reteach them to you a few at a time to see if it'll jar the rest of your memory loose."
"Okay!" I said excited that I was going to learn a spell on m first day.
"First I'll teach you to do elemental spells."
"Okay!" I said happy and excited that finally I was going to learn some magic and maybe soon I would even be able to go on a job...
XXX Just so you all know I stink at descriptions of learning magic I tried and it came out pretty horrible. I will just skip that and lets pretend that its three weeks later XXX
I woke up this morning and got ready. I wore black skinny jeans, a red crop top, black leather jacket and black combat boots. I put my long hair into two large pig tails and jumped off the platform. I landed perfectly on my feet after controlling some of the air around me to slow me down when I was in the free fall.
I was having a good time here at the guild. In the past three weeks alone I had relearned all my old spells and performed each of them flawlessly. I'm still learning the three special guild spells though. I forget what Mavis called them, but it was something like Grand Magic Fairy spells?
Anyway, I'm happy. Every morning I have routine now. I wake up, get dressed, jump off the platform and land safely on the guild floor by using some type of my magic.
I've had a lot of fun in the past few weeks as well. I have fought about half the guild for test of strength and I've fought Natsu alone at lease 15 times. I mean I'm still young but he should just grow up.
Anyway I made it down to the guild hall and noticed half the guild was gone. I walked up to the bar sat down in by the register and said, "Hi Mira!" with a smile. According to most of the people in the guild I've become the light of the guild. I don't think it should be called that, but I know that I have definitely tried to be happy and help others be happy.
"Hi Zera..." she said in a very not enthusiastic way.
"Are you okay, Mira?" I asked concerned, I had never seen her this unhappy before.
"I'm just worried for Wendy, Romeo and Carla. They took a job about a week and a half ago to take down a black guild. I think something must have happened to them. They were just a guild of thieves as far as we were concerned, but I'm starting to think they had more power and support than we realized."
"Oh..." I said thinking through everything she had just said. "Oh! Mira, I'll go check on them! It can be a test run for my magic. I haven't been on a job before and it will be fun. If you want I'll take Happy with me but please let me go!"
"I'll let you go, Zera... but there is one condition that comes along with this." Mira warned.
"Alright what is it?" I said still excited with all the adrenaline pumping through my veins fro my sudden burst of happiness.
"We will go together. If there is fighting I will let you do it and if you need help which I don't think you will, I'll step in and give you a hand. Okay?" she said.
I shook my head from side to side thinking about what I should say to her offer. I'll admit its a good one and I'll have a lot of fun. "Alright, Mira!" I said smiling, "Let's do this it will be fun!"
"What will be fun?" Mavis asked as she floated up to us.
"Mira and I are going to retrace Wendy, Romeo and Carla's footsteps from their last job to see if we can find them. They've been gone way longer than expected and Mira is just nervous and wants to check up on them." I said quickly, "Now please excuse me I have to go pack."
"Hold it, young lady!" Mavis said sternly, "Are you sure you want to give this a try?"
"I could recite my spells in my sleep. I'm ready Mavis!" I said confident that I could do it but not over confident because I ad already learned that over confidence is dangerous.
"Okay, you may go... on one condition!" Mavis yelled as I was about to float up the platform.
"Yes Mavis?" I said coming back down while muttering, "these people and their conditions!"
"One I heard that Zera and two I'm going with you." she said.
"Alright! Now it will be even more fun!" I said happily, "Now I'm going to pack and I suggest you do the same Mira." I then ran over toward the direction of the platform and ran up the wall bending the air and gravity with magic. I then came back down minutes later with a prepacked go bag. I soon found out that Mira had a similar one because she had planned on going after them later today.
We then wrote a note for the Master and placed it on his desk. He was at a conference and would be back later. We had Cana working the bar even though I don't think it was a good idea and we were off. "Ready or Not here we come!" I yelled and we ran for the train station catching the noon train to New Fonkers Station in New Fonkers on the other side of Fiore.
We settles in for the long ride and I put my head on Mira's shoulder. She put and arm around me and sighed looking out the window. "We'll find them Mira... I promise." I said before falling asleep.
But I didn't fall asleep before I heard her say, "Its not a matter of finding them, but the state they're in when we do that worries me..."
I fell asleep with those word coursing through my brain. I wondered what had happened to my nakama. I wondered if we would find them alright and out fairy ail family would be fine... or if they would be gone and our family would never be the same...
