[Editted: Oct 8, 2011)Chapter 17: Why?

I'm back in Fairy Tail special thanks to "Bird Brain" Natsu. Not too long ago, he tried to open up a conversation with me which, I immediately turned down. I'm just not ready to face him properly. Anyway, I left the poor boy. After that kissing incident, just thinking of him makes my blood boil. What more will happen when I'm with him? As I walked down the hallway, I continued to fume over the fact that Natsu could be a jerk or a totally clueless boy, even both if I must say. Okay, I should probably stop thinking about him. About 3 meters away form me was a water cooler. I crossed my fingers, hoping that the water would be ice cold to rid me of my bad temper. When I reached the cooler, I gave it the stare and pushed the button. Water came out and then, I saw sunrays penetrating the dark clouds in my mind. The water was really icy cold! I was in total bliss.

"You are Lucy, right?" a voice said.

I looked up from the water cooler, no one was there. I shook my head, trying to shake out my conscious if it was talking to me and continued my rendezvous with Mister Water Cooler.

"Don't ignore me! I'm talking to you in your mind. Listen, I've brought along someone important. I think you'll be very happy to see her!" The voice said almost giggling.

What the hell, the voice was talking to me. This time, the voice managed to catch my attention. I looked around if there was anyone around me. The hallway was quiet and I was all alone. I sighed.

"Who are you?" I said out loud.

"You'll find out when we meet. We'll be waiting for you. I'm at the back of the guild. See ya, Lucy." It replied.

After that, she didn't reply me. I looked around to make sure that no one heard me and then, I made my way to the back of the guild. I had a feeling that this "strange" conversation with a voice in my head would lead me somewhere. From a slow walk, I changed my speed and ran towards the back of the guild. The dark aura as I got closer to the back of the guild grew stronger with each step I take. It was almost suffocating.

I burst out of the back door, looking around for the voice. I walked out of the guild and into the garden. I kept my body and mind on high alert. I caught sight of some leaf moments but nothing too obvious. Who ever it was, they must be really good at hide-and-seek.

"Lucy." It said. The voice sounded very familiar. I turned around to the direction of the voice. What I saw shocked me, it was my mother. I stood rooted to the ground and my voice was barely audible. No words could escape my mouth. It was silent. Then, I felt someone hugging me. It was a small girl with blue hair. I couldn't move as she pointed a knife at my neck, extremely near my jugular vein.

"Beautiful, isn't she?" She said, "She told me you'll be dumbfounded when you see her."

"Who are you?" I growled, refusing to accept what I am seeing.

"You don't remember me, Lucy?" The beautiful lady who looked like my mother said.

"How can I guarantee that you are really my mother?" I asked her as I glared at her.

"I was the one who passed you the keys and imprinted some of my memories inside of you. I'm pretty sure that by now, you could have seen those traumatic visions." She replied.

I remained speechless.

"I found your mother on the verge of dying in the Heartfilia Mansion." The young girl said as she let me go. "Luckily, I managed to save her in time. You should be thankful!"

I rubbed my neck and kept my distance from them. I glared at them, hoping that I might be able to send the I'm-Not-Believing-Your-Crap message to them.

"Look, we're just here to visit you. You mother wanted to see you again. Layla let's go before Fairy Tail finds out we're here." The blue haired girl said as she looked around and sniffed the air.

"Wendy, just give me a little more time, please." My mother argued. Wendy looked away and continued to survey the area.

"I'm really glad to see you again. You've grown taller and more beautiful than before. I'm sorry for not returning to you after everything. I'll have to go now. Please visit your father and tell him that I love him." She said painfully as she gave me a hug. "I'm sorry Lucy. It looks like we'll have to part ways again. "

My brain is telling me that she is a fake but my heart is crying out so loudly that I could feel my eyes getting watery. I grabbed onto her clothes and made sure I had a tight grip on her. My other hand summoned Taurus to assist me. I ordered him to grab onto my mother's leg. He gave me the confused look but, he did as he was told.

"I can't let go of you mum!" I cried out, "I need you! I'll follow you if I have to!"

"I'm sorry Lucy." She whispered, shutting her eyes and grinding her teeth together.

With a gentle breeze blowing against my skin, I noticed that my arms were full of small cuts

"I'm warning you, Lucy." Wendy said, as the winds get stronger with each passing second. "Let her go."

It seems that Wendy is a wind element mage. Her attacks were invisible and it feels like the air brushes against your skin whenever she attacks. She continued bombarding me with her attacks as I held on to my mother. My arms were covered with small cuts some of it was bleeding already. I was lost in the moment. I was desperate. I can't let her go now that she is right in front of me. I managed to force my brain to believe that she was really my mother. I know that she has to be. She has the aura.

"Lucy!" I heard Natsu shouting from behind me.

"Layla, we've got to go now!" Wendy redirected her attacks against me to Natsu, "We'll meet again, Lucy Heartfilia."

Natsu was blow away by the wind attack. Wendy knocked out Taurus with her wind element attack and grabbed my mother. Wendy used her magic to create a strong tornado and disappeared as the winds picked up speed. Natsu fired an attack towards the duo but his attack was futile. It barely got through. Before we knew it, they were gone. I fell on my knees. Once again, I felt empty inside. Natsu slowly made his way to me. My arms were washed clean of my wounds. It was gone.

"She was Wendy." Natsu murmured. "**Her attacks can never be fatal unless she slices through your body or chop you into many halves. If her attacks only slices the skin, it won't long before your skin heals back. Her magic has healing properties. She is a Wind Dragon Slayer after all.."

"How'd you know about that?" I replied, refusing to look at him. "Is she someone special to you?"

"She was my sister." He paused, "She betrayed her own family to gain power."

"Looks like we're on the same boat, we have the same problems huh." I chuckled.

Natsu smiled and sat beside me. He placed his hand on my head and messed up my hair.

"We were on the same boat since we were young." He said. "I've known you since we born. I know who you are. I'm glad I've found you."

Before I could reply, I felt my arms burn. It was in horrible pain. I shout and scream in agony. Natsu tried to pin me down but I was too strong. I pushed him away and he rolled a couple of times before hitting a near-by tree. Suddenly, light surrounded me. It got so bright that I could hardly see a thing. What is happening to me?
