So Fire (from Fire and Chaos) has helped me discover that having people yell at me wont work. Having people plead, well, yeah, that works... Ugh, Fire basically gave me puppy dog eyes (irl) to write this chapter. Luckily for them, I'm currently bored. So sorry I haven't written, but I've been too lazy. Anyway, I think I would update more regularly if I update monthly instead of... whatever I said I would be doing. Enjoy the chappie!
Raven's POV:
Images flashed before my eyes. It was from someone's point of view, from their birth. It started with eyes blinking open, seeing two figures, ghostly. They explained who they were, Nevar and Crow, apparently two beings that make up the person's soul. Yadda yadda yadda, blah, blah blah. It went through the girl's life, day by day, but quickly. My eyes scanned the pictures of unimportant things, listened at watched to the main memories.
The girl went to the twilight zone when she was 7. Again when she was nine, but never after that.
The girl went to a brighter world when she was 10, which looked more normal. That was when it occurred to me that this was the real world, and the other one, for the first 9 years, was a different one. Or maybe a different part of this one.
Then I saw the girl use magic. It was MY magic, demon magic. Then she joined a guild.
Fairytail: Confirmed
The guild was... Oración Seis? Angel wasn't there, and Midnight was the same age as the girl. Maybe the girl who's point of view this was was Angel.
The girl left Oración Seis, but didn't get her guild mark removed. It was at her upper back, right below her neck.
She joined plenty of guilds after this one, but left all of them. Without removing the guild mark. The last memory was of Lamia scale. And Candy was there. They both left, but Candy removed her guild mark.
By now, the girl was 17, as was Candy.
They were walking, who knows where.
The images flickered away, leaving me in silence. I felt kind of dazed. My feet felt light but my head felt heavy. Who was that?
"That," the Void began, startling me, "was you; Raven Kage."
Okay, okay. Hold up. 1: ME? and 2: am I saying these things out loud? I cant even MOVE my mouth!
"You aren't speaking out loud. See, your currently in me, the void," gross. "So, while you are, I have access to all your thoughts." I gulped. Whoops...
"So, for now, that is your backstory, that is what happened to you for all of your life. You must not tell anyone besides your two friends that your from this time. You will know when the time is right to do so." Whats that supposed to mean? I can't tell anybody I'm from the 21st century until I think I should tell people I'm from the 21st century?
"Precisely!" the void answered. This was getting annoying. DONT READ MY MIND!
"I can't help it!" the Void defended. "Anyway, good luck!"
My whole body felt heavy again, however, I felt as if I'd left the void. Suddenly the air around me began moving upwards.
Or, you could be falling, a voice in my head answered. Void? is that you? Yes.
Candy's POV:
Images seemed hazy in my mind, before becoming clear before my eyes. First there was a girl, outgoing, kind. She was small, probably about 5 years old.
Then there was a monster. It looked familiar.
"Run!" A young woman screamed at me, or rather who ever's eyes I was watching this through.
A man next to her looked pained. "Take her and run! protect her!" he screamed at another man next to me.
The man grabbed the girl's hand and ran. "I could care less about him," he whispered to himself, "but she was my sister... my sister." Tears streamed down his cheeks.
He wiped his eyes. "They're Delioria's now."
Deliora, Deliora... where have I heard that before. FAIRYTAIL! So that was what the void meant earlier about stoping devolution and stuff.
Years passed and the girl - who I now know, through the images, is a wizard - hasn't joined a guild. But then she killed the man, her uncle, with her magic. No, MY magic, glass make.
The girl then joined various guilds, stayed in each for a year or two. Then she went to Lamia scale, only for a few months. She left, again, this time with someone.
Raven?
The images seemed to darken before me, but left me into the bright light.
"Yes," the void said, "Raven."
Unknown's POV:
It was like looking through a photo album. It started with a baby girl, in a cloak of water. The water was wrapped around her, sheltering her from harm. It moved around her body perfectly, not a drip falling to the ground. A beautiful lady was singing to her. And the child was fast asleep.
The lady was young, and looked sorrowful. But she sang a song of great fortune and happiness.
Years passed, and the lady seemed to grow old from stress rather than age. Her gray hair covered her once beautiful face, her elegant voice had turned raspy quickly, and her songs of fortune had stopped, replaced by tired songs of sadness that took place between chokes of tears.
And the lady had stopped calling the girl by her name. The name in which the woman once called graceful and perfectly fit for such an amazing child.
"Mama? What's wrong?" the girl asked the woman, her mother.
"Never," she replied hoarse voice, being cut off by the dryness in her own throat "Never," she repeated, "get a reputation, or friends, or happiness, or A LIFE!" she responded bitterly, raising her voice, "BECAUSE IT'S FALSE!"
The girl backed away slowly, clutching a teddy bear tightly to her chest. A single tear streamed down her face, running into her mouth. "So... salty..." the girl muttered under her breath between gasps for air.
"Stupid people expect to much from me! Miracles come an eye for an eye, an' I have no people who want to die! An arm or leg is nothing, take one'a them from the dead, but bringing BACK the dead? By naow, I'd rather curse myself to have a 'miracle' for 'my beloved prince'!" the woman rasped.
And that was when the girl - and I - finally understood. The woman was overworked, and hard on herself, too. She had so much pressure and stress that she aged 10 times every year. The girl stopped her running, which had emerged from her walking. A slightly blue tinted waterfall was in clear view, the entrance to their home. A tear streamed down the girls face. "I'm so sorry, mama," she whispered, loud enough for the woman to hear. The girl walked slowly back to her mother. She was only ten at the time.
A year passed and the woman started saving money.
Three years later, there was a cackle from the woman's mouth. "I'VE DONE IT!"
The girl walked up to her mother, cautiously. "What have you done, mama?" she asked, trying to make it so she didn't sound suspicious of her.
Her mother suddenly launched herself at the girl, grabbing her shoulders tightly. The girl's face tensed and she attempted to get out of the woman's hold. Her feet were shuffling and she was squirming, wailing a shriek that could have made someone fall to their knees.
And the woman did fall to her knees. Her grip got stronger still, and she dragged the child with her.
The girl's bare knees banged hard against the cold, rough, stone floor. "Mama..." she uttered quietly, visibly shaking. Her mother wore a grin from ear to ear, her eyes large and almost completely white.
Red, hot, tears rolled down the girls cheeks, in the form of blood. She looked so scared and pained, but emotionless at the same time. "It's not... salty..." the girl whispered as blood rolled into her mouth.
Then the girl went limp. Her mother stood and dropped the girl. She doubled over, her face smashing against the rocky floor.
The girl woke a few days later, a note in front of her. It contained roughly ¥200000000. The note read "Use this money I've saved to get a water dragon slayer lacrima implanted. And please don't come back.
~Mama"
The girl went and got a lacrima, just as her mother requested. She could defend herself now, a water dragon slayer. So the girl joined a guild. Some random one that I've never heard of. She was there for two and a half years before she realized that the guild could only train her to be a normal mage, not a dragon slayer. So she left, and began to go somewhere else.
The images faded and I realized that tears were streaming down my face. That girl had such a complicated and sorrowful life. You would think living in a cave under a waterfall would be more elegant. At first, the images seemed like a paradise. The life may not have been perfect, but it was close to it. But how quickly things seemed to go downhill. How long life must have felt for that girl. Her seventeen years must have felt like a lifetime.
And the girl hadn't gotten to hear her mother call her name one last time.
My name.
A/N:
So yeah, I was crying as I wrote "Unknown"'s POV. She's my friend's OC and I've kinda changed her backstory just a little (a lot) to fit for my story... I mean, I have permission to change it, but WOW, i made that sad! And long... ANYWAY, I've been really busy lately with summer camp and preparing for school and all that stuff. I just had my birthday party a few days ago. Approximately half of my friends couldn't come... And niji stayed for 2 nights because otherwise she couldn't come.
Enough of my life and excuses as to why I haven't been writing. To be honest, I've had a really bad case of writers block since about half way through July. Writing this somehow got rid of it...
So yeah, nuff said. I'm a lazy butt so I don't write. Then when I'm gonna stop being lazy, I get writers block so I still can't write. One word: UGHHHHH.
Anyway, please r&r. It makes me happy!
R&R
R&R
R&R
ok, that proves my extreme boredom... r&r pwease?
