I can see the light by Glenn Slate

Natsu was running faster and faster every second looking for Elodi. He sure was mad and worried that Elodi might get hurt but what pissed him off the most is that Sting thought he could win at everything, that he could beat him at everything,
"Not gonna happen body!"he exclaimed talking to none in particular "who are you talking to Natsu?" Happy asked with a worried expression,
Natsu didn't answer he just kept running still mad and picking up speed.
-with Elodi-
At first Elodi got scared when sting said 'have fun' after all Natsu told her he was a player and to stay away from him; but now she saw what he meant by 'have fun'. They were sitting in a magic tester with magic detectors wrapped around their wrist.
"Okay here we go at the count of three you release your strongest attack, the magic lacrima sucks it up and tells you who the strongest is!"the announcer that sitting on the table exclaimed ready for action
"You're on!" Sting said loud enough for the entire crowed to hear.
Elodi put her arm on the table and spoke proudly "Bring it!"
1! 2! 3! Go!
The two mages released their magic and the lacrima sucked it up and spoke with a robotic voice,
"player one, Sting 1000/1000 player two Elodi, 3000/1000 winner is Elodi!"
Sting's jaw dropped open at how high the magic rating was while Elodi jumped up in triumph,
"Sweet! What now Sting?" she exclaimed
Sting looked up his jaw still down low "I'll get you back for that!" he smiled and Elodi smiled back
Sting located a music center and pointed at it with a smirk on his face "hey look over there! It's a music center! I heard from salamander that you can sing! So let's go!"Sting grabbed Elodi by her wrist with sweet forming under his hand and dragged her all the way to the music center and looked around, he turned around to find a panting Elodi grabbing her forehead trying to hide it from the burning flames that was the sun,
Sting scratched his head confused "I thought you were immune to the heat like salamander" he asked while she crouched down, "I think it's because of that magic tester thing" she managed to get her words out between pants. Sting frowned "Did you use that much magic" he asked trying to ignore the heat he felt.
Elodi said something that Sting couldn't understand so he bent down to where she was crouching and she repeated what she said but sting was still not able to hear her, he leaned closer and closer in till he was only inches away from here and with no hesitation she punched him straight on the face,
Sting grabbed his nose afraid it was bleeding "What the hell was that for?!" he shouted still grabbing his now bloody red nose, Elodi stood up brushing dirt off her skirt "for you dragging me here!" and with those word she gave him her back with the burning flames of the sun hitting her face
Sting stood up rubbing nose and spoke with a high voice "So you're panting was that fake?!" Elodi crossed her arms below her chest and angrily spoke "yeah, like you said I'm immune to the burning sun" she could feel Sting's evil smirk that was followed by his word,
"Fine! You have to make up for punching me!"
Sting grabbed a microphone and shoved it in her hands and with that he yelled out at the DJ "She's singing next!" Elodi dropped the microphone making a huge static sound wave; she stared at Sting blankly as the DJ pushed her on stage. She looked at the crowd and started to panic inside,
Elodi spoke to the DJ trying to hide her panic "what am I supposed to sing?!"
the DJ smirked and spoke with a not caring voice "You tell us"
Elodi covered her face with her hands and snarled, she didn't know what to do and started to panic big time but then she remembered what she had in her pocket. She reached in her pocket dodging every piece of junk she had in there till she found what she was looking for. She took out a dirty brown like paper that was torn by the edges, she unfolded it and handed the rusty paper to the DJ, the DJ passed it around as all the musicians copied down the notes and whistling the tone of the music. The paper came back to Elodi; she carefully placed it down in the stand in front of her trying not to tear it. She took a deep breath as if it was her last breath she would ever take; she let her breath out when the music started playing behind her. She mentally told herself that after this Sting was going to die, she looked over at Sting who was sitting at the edge of his sit as if the world was going to end. With that the time to sign came.
She stepped forward with the wind blowing on her face making whistles through her long bright black hair, she another deep breath and sang,
"You turned away when I looked you in the eye,
and hesitated when I asked if you were alright,
Seems like you're fighting for your life,
but why? Oh why?
Wide awake in the middle of your nightmare,
You saw it comin' but it hit you outta nowhere,
And there's always scars
When you fall back far
We lose our way,
We get back up again
It's never too late to get back up again,
One day you will shine again,
You maybe knocked down,
But not out forever,
Lose our way;
we get back up again,
so get up, get up,
You gonna shine again,
Never too late to get back up again,
You maybe knocked down,
But not out forever
(May be knocked down but not out forever)
You're rolled out at the dawning of the day
Heart racin' as you made you little get away,
It feels like you've been runnin' all your life
But, why? Oh why?
So you've pulled away from the love that would've been there,
You start believin' that your situation's unfair
But there's always scars,
When you fall back far
We lose our way,
We get back up again
It's never too late to get back up again,
One day you will shine again~,
You may be knocked down,
But not out forever,
Lose our way;
we get back up again,
so get up, get up,
You gonna shine again,
Never too late to get back up again,
you may be knocked down,
But not out forever
(May be knocked down but not out forever!~)"
With the end of the music the only thing left to hear was the wind, it cut through the air leaving the music center quite. With a sudden second everyone started clapping and whistling,
"looks like we have our contest winner!" The DJ spoke with surprise written all over his face.
The loud claps cut the air as if it was paper, there were more people than when they started and more and more people kept coming up.
The only claps that Elodi could notice were Sting's, he was standing up to the side clapping and waiting for her to get off the stage. She slowly went down the steps trying not to trip as the wind got heavier lifting up her skirt. She shoved her skirt down not paying attention to the next step, she stepped down but slipped and the quick wind knocked her even more off balanced. Sting rushed over to her and caught her bridal style.
"You should be more careful beautiful" Sting claimed and put her down trying not to mess up her beautiful skirt. She covered her face with her now sweaty palms and snarled at Sting. Sting smirked and put his arm around her shoulder scaring her a little, He spoke trying to tell her that she sang amazing only with his tone "Let's go have more fun, and don't worry you sing….well let's just leave it at that" and with that they both walked off the sun setting behind them.
-WITH NATSU-
Natsu came to a sudden stop as he saw Sting handing Elodi a blue teddy bear, Natsu ran at them and hit Sting straight in the gut, and with that Happy flew away afraid they might bring the park down.
Sting spoke still holding his stomach "what the hell! You didn't have to hit me!" Natsu grabbed Elodi and started to drag her off "Yeah that's debatable" Natsu snarled at Sting and fire crackled around his fist and with that they disappeared into the sunset.
-Two hours later-
Natsu and Elodi were sitting outside the door of suite Swan but raging mad at the annoying news Erza had sprung on them.
-Flash back-
Both Natsu and Elodi bursted into a rage fit at the same time "What!" the exclaimed in sync
Erza sighed and covered her face with one hand "I didn't tell you earlier because you wouldn't have come if I had told you you'd have to sleep in the suites"
Elodi stepped forward very mad "damn right we wouldn't!" she raged and sat down on the coach
Jellal stood next to Erza protectively "it's just one night in the morning we'll go back to the guild" he had a tone that said stop arguing. Both Elodi and Natsu sighed and let it go.
-Flashback-end-
Natsu looked at Elodi and sighed "Jeez, well we should go in" and with that Natsu stood up and opened the door letting out moist air and the smell of rosemary and mint. Natsu pushed Elodi in and then he slowly went in feeling a little dizzy from the fancy smell. His head started to throb and is send his head spinning into an unstoppable cycle. He sat down on the bed releasing a few feathers out of the mat; he laid down burping out some fire.
He lifted his head and saw Elodi going around a piano. She walked around it like it was pure gold for two times and then sat down letting out a breath she had been holding for a long time. Natsu sat up sending flying more feathers and even more as he stood up and slowly walked over to her.
Natsu breathed his words "That's right when we first met you told me you could play piano right?" he asked curious
"Well kind of" she answered with a sigh.
Natsu leaned on the piano remembering the day she first said she could play "That's right you can sing too right?" he asked earning a glance from her "I-I-well I-I…yes but I sing awful"
With those words she took out a clean white piece of paper and set it down on the piano. Natsu sat down next to her and read the top of the sheet,
'Duet for me and her, written year 794' Natsu read it again and again 'yup that was seven years ago' he thought to himself but his thoughts were interrupted by Elodi,
"This was the first song we ever wrote together-me and my foster-father that is- he was a traveling musician so he made me learn music, but still we never finished it because he died. I've kept this ever since then and since I joined the guild I have had the guts to finished it so it's finished" Elodi smiled widely at Natsu proud of being able to join Fairy Tail, Natsu smirked and spoke,
"Okay then let's hear it!" at those words Elodi panicked
"No way! I Sing awful I told you!" but Natsu didn't wait for her to finish he just slammed her hands on the piano keys and waited.
"Fine here we go" she took a deep breaths and started to play the piano and that was followed by her voice,
"All those time watching from the windows
all those years outside looking in
all that time never even knowing
Just how blind I've been
Now I'm here, blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here, suddenly I see
Standing here, it's all so clear
I'm where I am meant to be
And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you"
She stopped singing and kept playing the piano beautifully. Natsu looked at the lyrics and saw the reason she wasn't singing, the next part said 'him' so he cracked his knuckles as if getting ready for a fight; and started to sing and to his and Elodi's surprise he was actually good,
"All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur All that time never truly seeing Things, the way they were Now she's here shining in the starlight Now she's here, suddenly I know If she's here it's crystal clear I'm where I'm meant to go
And with that Elodi joined in both singing at the same time getting ready for the duet part,
"And at last I see the light And it's like the frog has lifted And at last I see the light And it's like the sky is new And it's warm and real and bright And the world has somehow shifted
All at once, everything looks different
Now that I see you
Now that I see you~"
They both stopped after the piano solo and looked at each other, Elodi took a deep breath and spoke "I didn't know you could sing" Elodi was shocked at his amazing voice but how he denied it. He was about to talk but was stopped by a slamming door, a half-naked Gray rushed into the room panting followed by everyone else, "Please tell me that was your voice pretending to be Natsu, El'?" Gray shouted at Elodi but was disappointed when she said no.
He looked at Natsu and the first thought that went through Natsu's head was 'his gonna hold this over me forever!' Gray's jaw dropped open "you're kidding me right? Flame brain can actually sing!?" That comment earned Gray a punch from Natsu and with that they broke out into a full on fight. Erza came up to me and put her hand on my shoulder,
"I'm glad to hear that you feel like that about us, the guild" her red hair was falling to her waist like Elodi's, but Elodi was too distracted to notice what she said. After a few seconds it sank in and she panicked,
"What?! What do you mean?!" her panic attack was stopped by Erza's hands on her shoulders,
"Look I know you, you would had never taken out a song that is so dear to you and they might have not realized it but I did, the song was about you finally coming out of your box, right?" She smiled at me and tilted her head
"The song was about us and don't worry we feel the same way"!
-Back to the present-
The day was tense but it made me happy to know that they felt the same way I do, my windows were closed and my wings tied up but then they opened my windows and untied my wings. Thanks to them now I soar through the sky!
Sincerely,
ELODI_
