Last time on Forget-Me-Nots
"Hey your awake." he said. "You've been out for three days. Mavis and Mira were worried about you, so they called the Master and he came along with the rest of us to bring you Wendy Romeo and Carla home. They were all out until late yesterday. Your the last one to wake up. You were staying at a Fiore Naval Hospital because Mira insisted you have some of the best care out there. She was really worried about you four. She didn't sleep for all three days and finally the train lulled her to sleep."
"I feel so bad." I said, my voice hoarse and scratchy.
"I wouldn't do that if I was you Zera." he said, "You should wait to speak until we get back to the guild hall and we can get you some water, because you haven't had much to each and drink the past few days."
I then nodded, just barely stopping myself from speaking.
"We should be back to Magnolia in an hour or so, so i suggest you get a bit more sleep, I know well that unconsciousness is tiring."
"Listen to the Ice Princess." I heard Natsu mumble from across the aisle in a half awake state. I giggle as Gray's face turned bright red and he did everything he could to prevent himself from launching at Natsu and destroying the train.
"Thanks Flame Brain." he said smirking just a bit.
"No problem Cold King." he said and started snoring again. I giggled and Gray just shook his head. I then decided to go to sleep like they suggested. I wanted to be well rested tomorrow when I woke up and was back at the guild. i was glad that I was finally almost home, and back with my family.
Zera's POV
When I woke up I was in a place I didn't recognize at first, but when I smelled that awful smell of sterilization, I immediately knew that I was in the infirmary. I lifted my head and move a little bit to sit up and look around the room. I found no one there and was very confused. I decided that if I couldn't find anyone, not even the Elemoore Girls, it was time to take a walk and look for them.
I walked out of the infirmary and down the hall. I realized that I had been in the small infirmary next to the master's office, and not in the large one at magnolia general hospital. I then, limping a bit as I went, walked toward the stairs and into the guild hall's main room. No one was here, and that was when I noticed it was 6:30 in the morning and no one was at the guild yet.
I knew one person besides myself that never left the guild hall unless she went somewhere with Master Makarov or took a trip to Tenrou, so I called for her, "Mavis!" I called and she didn't appear. Now I was really confused. I looked down at myself to make sure I was decent, and seeing how I was in my pajamas and was about to exit the guild hall I used a little trick I learned from Erza.
"Requip!" I said and I changed from my black and white polka-dot pajamas to black leggings, a turquoise cami tank top, black leather jacket with the fairy tail insignia with Vermillion in white on the left arm, and was wearing a pair of black and white sneakers with white ankle socks. I then limped over to a small closet in the very front right corner of the guild and pulled out my black cloak. I wore it, hood up hiding myself for no reason other than I wanted to and headed for the guild hall doors.
It was 6:30 in the morning, but the street markets were already open and the streets were full of people running around busily keeping themselves occupied. I then walked through the streets heading for the one place I knew outside of the guild hall. I went to Lucy's apartment. I only knew where it was because I remembered where we went the night we had a slumber party at Lucy's house.
When I arrived at her apartment building I saw no lights on in her window, so I walked around to the door and tapped on it lightly. A few seconds later she opened the door and said in a surprised and utterly confused tone, "Hey Zera! Wait a minute your supposed to be in the infirmary! We need to get you back to Fairy Tail before everyone realizes that your gone."
"I'm fine!" I said with a little shortage of breath.
"No your not." she said looking at me sternly, "You are going to come inside and sit down, while I call Wendy and the others."
"Why? Can't we just go to the guild?" I asked. "Its almost 7:30, everyone will be beginning to show up right about now."
"Fine. You come inside and sit down, I'm going to pass along the message that your with me so no one panics." Lucy said opening up the door so I could come inside. I sat on the couch while she sat on her bed, and using a lacrima called the guild and told a frantic Mira to calm down because i was okay and I was with her.
After the guild had been calmed down, we walked out of her apartment and out onto the street. we were cheerfully talking and laughing on the way to the guild and then it happened. I heard something that I couldn't explain. It sounded like a scream or a call for help, but when I asked Lucy she heard nothing of the sort. It got louder, closer and less spasmodic and more chronic. Finally, I couldn't take it. I ran toward the noise leaving Lucy in the dust as she attempted to follow.
It got louder, closer and was almost continuous and non-stopping. I then turned down an alley. It was the place, I knew that it had to be there that it started. I walked slowly and cautiously into the alley. I looked left right under around but nothing. Then I finally looked up. Big mistake. There were 3 people on that roof.
The first was the only girl. She had long pink wavy hair held back by a black head band. she was wearing a red dress with yellow accents and a big yellow bow on the front along with a long blue hooded cloak that she wore just hanging around her neck with black socks up to her mid thighs and knee high tan boots.
The second was a boy that you could tell was on her side. He was defending her as she screamed out in pain. I couldn't tell who was who, who was the good side and who the bad.
The first boy had blue hair and a cloak matching the girl's. He was also wearing tan and black pants as well as a black and silver shirt along with a silver, green and yellow jacket. He had an insignia on his pants and a tattoo on his right eye. (everyone who looks at him's left)
The last man had black hair. He was wearing black boots, black pants, black skirty dress looking thing with gold buttons and edges. He also had a big white toga looking sheet tied around him. I knew who he was. Mavis had described him. I had seen pictures in books. I knew that the man I was looking at was the black wizard, Zeref, my great grandfather.
"Zeref..." I said just loud enough to get the attention of the three people.
"Who are you?" the boy with the blue hair said.
"Zera." Zeref said. "She's Zera."
"And what's the poor little girl to you Zeref?" the girl said.
"She's my-"
"Zera!" Lucy yelled as she ran over to me and pushed me behind her away from the boy girl and Zeref. "Zera stay away from them!" she said turning to face me and then she turned to everyone else. "Jellal, Meredy, Zeref leave her alone!"
"You can't tell me to do that Lucy!" Zeref said.
"And why can't she Zeref. What are you going to do about it?" Jellal asked.
"I'm going to take her with me. She is my great granddaughter." Zeref said and with that I passed out after being hit with a blackout spell and never knew who cast it. Was it Lucy? Jellal? Meredy? Or even Zeref?...
