Chapter 16

Am I?

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or its characters, only my own OC's and ideas

Cold light shone all around, nothing was visible in the empty space, silence filled the area. Only one thing was there, a woman with strawberry blonde, silver-tipped hair, silver eyes, and silver markings on her face. She wore a simple white blouse and black jeans as she floated in the emptiness.

Where...Where am I? Her voice echoed through the space even though she hadn't spoken.

Am I.. dead?

A small girl ran through the tall grass that surrounded her home in the center of a luscious forest. She wore a bright smile and she burst from the grass into the embrace of a Opalescent Dragon with Silver underbelly and horns jutting out from the sides of its narrow face. Long ears appeared on its head next to the horns, and its wings folded into its body, light purple tinged scales covering them sparsely. The Dragon's deep purple eyes lit up as the girl appeared. The girl giggled happily as the dragon rolled onto its back and the girl climbed onto the smooth scales.

"Have a good time?" The Dragon asked and the girl nodded enthusiastically.

"Of course I Did Chaitanya!" The girl replied. The Dragon chuckled and so did the girl.

I want to stay like this forever!

Stay like this forever... I remember that now...

Small tears streamed down the face of the woman and her silver eyes closed.

Now I remember it all, the great times I had with Chaitanya... the day she disappeared... the pain of having two demons stuffed into my body... the fight...

Her silver eyes shot open and she stared around the empty space,

The fight... The fight that should have killed me... I might be dead... but... I don't think I am...

So where am I?

A wave of fatigue washed over her body and her eyes began to close, the space becoming darker...

What's going on...?

'Don't give up!'

A voice called from the darkness and she forced her eyes to open more,

Who was that?

'Don't give up, go back to your friends, go back to your family!'

The voice yelled at her and more tears streamed from her eyes when she recognized it.

Chaitanya?

'Yes my dear, but you must go back. Follow this.'

Chaitanya murmured and a bright ball of Silver light appeared from the closing darkness. The woman reached for it and grabbed it, feeling warmth spread through her. She smiled as she felt herself being pulled by the ball of light, away from the waves of black licking at her body.

'Your strong, and you have family waiting. I know I left you and all that happened is my fault, but you can get over it. I love you,'

Chaitanya's voice echoed around her and the woman smiled.

Thank you, I just wish I could see you again...

'Perhaps one day...'

The silver light from the ball she was holding grew brighter until her whole body was engulfed in its warmth and light.

Four months have passed since Frea died, at first the entire Guild had found it hard and been sad. But now life in Fairy Tail had gone back to normal, for the most part anyway. Lucy had made a full recovery and her adventures with Team Natsu were getting bigger and bigger.

The most recent being their Fight with the allied forces against Oracion Seis, destroying Nirvana and Jellal being arrested by the new Magic Council.

Another Dragon Slayer has joined their ranks, Wendy, The Sky Dragon Slayer and her partner Carla.

Right now, Natsu and Gajeel were fighting behind the Guild near the edge of the ocean. Most of the Guild sat outside to watch the match unfold, Lucy sighed in exasperation at their tempers.

As the fight dragged on Natsu and Gajeel were pretty evenly matched, but Natsu eventually won. But he did manage to take off another ten feet of land from the edge of the cliff and send it into the water. Mira sighed and Lucy noticed for the first time that the white-haired woman was standing next to her.

"I'm glad they did this outside..." Mira murmured and Elfman smirked as he passed.

"At this rate, the Ocean will reach up to the Guild Hall." The large man chuckled and Mira smiled a little.

"I remember the time that Frea fought out here with Laxus." Mira murmured with a sad look in her eyes. Lucy widened her eyes, her interest peeked.

"Why would Frea fight with Laxus?" Lucy asked and Mira turned to her.

"Frea had been mad at Laxus after a mission that the Master had sent them on together, and she challenged him to a fight. It was a draw, they couldn't beat each other no matter how hard they tried. But they did destroy a lot." Mira put a finger to her chin and scanned the edge of the land. "I think they managed to break off at least 100 feet of the cliff that time."

Lucy widened her eyes in surprise, 100 feet? In one fight? And they ended the fight in a draw?

"Frea tied with Laxus? The same guy that beat up Natsu and Gajeel?" Lucy asked and Mira nodded.

"She wasn't around for long enough while you were here Lucy, you never got to see what she could actually do. Especially when she was mad, and Laxus knew how to push her buttons pretty well." Mira told her and turned away. "Come on Lucy, lets head back inside." Mira told her and Lucy nodded, following Mira back inside the Guild hall.

The entire Guild seemed to be having a good time, many of them were laughing at Gajeel's rotten behavior for his loss. Natsu was on a table boasting, Lucy sighed and didn't bother to talk to him or even pay attention.

At least he seems to have finally gotten over everything that's happened, and the rest of the Guild too.

Yes, managed to get two chapters done today! Hope you enjoy and don't get to confused:)
