Chapter 3:
I waited until the sun went down and everyone was asleep to make my escape. I left a note for Mika and the others telling them where I was going and saying I'd be walking the rest of the way. I brought plenty of water just incase something went wrong and my magic was running low. I jumped out the window and started running toward the forest. Nobody seemed to hear me. The forest had changed since the last time I came here. For a minute I thought I was lost until I found it. My old home. It was still how I remembered it. The drawings on the wall, a torch in the holding place by the door, my little bed in the corner, and the stains of water everywhere. I lit the torch, walked inside and sat down in the corner. In the corner of my eye, I saw something. I picked up and realized it was one of Mizuine's scales. It looked pretty old, but it wasn't there the last time I was here. I started thinking of a billion reasons why it would be here. In the end, I just decided that I didn't see last time. I sighed. 'Mika's going to be furious when she see's me' I thought. I lay down where my old bed use to be and started daydreaming. Remembering the days with Mizuine, training, playing, eating, and fighting. My mind started to wander as I stared up at the roof of the cave. I'm not sure when I fell asleep or what I dreamed about, but I sure remember how loud Mika yelled at me when she found that morning.
"Ali, there you are!" Mika shouted, waking me up. I yawned and waved at them, half asleep.
"Hey guys, what's up?" I said calmly. Mika ran up to me. Wendy and Charlie stood back to give us some space.
"What's up? What's up is that you disappeared in the middle of the night and all you did was leave us a note!"
"Hey, I didn't leave in the middle of the night, I left when everyone fell asleep."
"Whatever, the point is, why did you leave?"
"If I stayed there, the magic council would have had my head. I've been banned from there for life."
"We know, but you could have told us."
"You would have said no." She didn't respond, she was looking behind me like she saw a ghost.
"See, now come on. We still have a job to finish. Wendy, is the train fixed yet?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah it's finished." She had been talking with Charlie.
"Awesome, let's go before it leaves." I stood up started walking toward the train, but Mika didn't move.
"Come on Mika, let's go."
"Ali, is this where you use to live?"
"Yeah, I was raised here; this is where Mizuine taught me dragon slayer magic."
"Is that her handwriting?" I turned to see her pointing to a tree with her handwriting on it.
"Yeah, it is." I ran over and read it.
Alice, I have to leave, but don't get angry. I don't want to leave but I have to. Please don't forget me. P.S Here's some magic I didn't have the chance to teach you. It's not difficult and shouldn't take you long to master.
Mizuine
I stared at it for a minute. 'She always was a big softy' I thought as I heard Mika tell Wendy and Charlie to go wait on the train. Then she walked up to me.
"What's it say?"
"It's just Mizuine apologizing for leaving and some magic that she didn't get the chance to teach me. I was supposed to read this the day she left." I started to tear it off the tree.
"Oh. Does it say where she went?" I shook my head.
"No, I just wish that I would've read this before I destroyed their town."
"I'm sure she was in a hurry and couldn't tell you to your face."
"Yeah." I stood up. "Come on, let's go, we still have a mission to do."
The train was about to leave when we got there. Wendy and Charlie were waiting for us on the train. I was spiriting and barely made it on in time. I was trying to catch my breath as the doors closed and we started moving.
"Just….barely… made it." I walked over to where Wendy and Charlie were.
"Hey guys." I said sitting down next to Wendy.
"Hi, you're okay now right?"
"Yeah, I'm felling a lot better finally getting it of my chest. By the way, can you keep this a secret? I don't want anyone else to know about this. I think they would all look at me differently."
"I understand, I won't say a word." I smiled. Mika didn't seem as mad at me anymore. After seeing all that, she didn't want to get on my nerves. In fact she seemed kind of afraid of me.
"Hey Mika, why do you look so down?"
"What?"
"You kind of depressed."
"I'm fine, trust me."
"Mika, I've known you for years, you can't fool me. Cheer up, Khovd is behind us and we should be in Altai in a few minutes." She managed to smiled, but I new she was still depressed. 'Maybe she felt bad about yelling at me. Oh well, what ever it is, she'll get over it like she always does.' We arrived in Altai a few minutes later. It looked like a ghost town. It looked very familiar, but I just couldn't put my finger on it.
"Hello?" I shouted.
"What are you doing?" Mika yelled.
"Seeing if anyone's here. If they have thieves, I'd expect them to all over the place."
"They could be ready to ambush us."
"Or, they abandoned the place already, I'm going in." I started to walk when I heard a gun go off and it went right past my ear.
"Hey!" I yelled as the shooter walked in to sight. He looked like a cowboy with an overbite.
"Now, what are you little ladies doing here?" He talked weird too.
"I'm looking for um." I looked at the poster. "Rachel Betel."
"Why do you want her, let me see that." I shoved the poster back in my pocket.
"See what?"
"Don't play dumb with me now hand it over."
"No."
"Give it to me!"
"No!" He charged toward me.
"Shield!" I shouted. A blue circle appeared in front of me and made a shield out of water. He ran into it head first and fell to the ground, hard.
"Oh, I see, hey guys! We've got some mages here!" Then, 20 to 30 thieves ran out of the buildings.
"Wendy, you can roar right?"
"Yeah."
"Then follow my lead. Ready….." I took a deep breath.
"Roar of the water dragon!"I unleashed a massive roar that pelted water going 100 miles an hour at half of them.
"Roar of the sky dragon!" Wendy roared a huge wind current or something toward the other half of them. There were still 10 left standing. I charged toward them.
"Fist of the water dragon!" Water appeared around my hand as I punched the one that tried to shoot me earlier.
"Alright, who's next?" Apparently these weren't very smart thieves because they all ran toward me, mad that their leader had just been knocked out by a 15 year old girl. I sighed.
"Barrier." A blue circle appeared bellow my feet and a veil of water surrounded me.
"Wendy get them."
"Right! Roar of the sky dragon!" The blast was so large the building behind me was torn in half. The thieves laid unconscious on the ground.
"That was waaay to easy." I said as the towns people came running out of their homes, cheering.
"Hooray!"
"We're free." One woman came running up to me.
"Alice?" She asked.
"Yeah, and you are?"
"I'm Rachel, the woman who helped you out seven years ago." My eyes got big.
"Rachel, it's so good to see you." She hugged me.
"It's great to see that you're doing okay. Did you ever find that friend of yours?"
"No, but I'm still looking. So you're the one that asked Fairy Tail for help?"
"Yeah, I asked around town and they said that they would do the best job."
"And sure enough, Wendy, Mika, Charlie and I show up and saved you guys."
"Yeah, I have the reward in my house, let me go get it."
"Okay, hey guys, come here." I yelled. I wasn't even paying attention to what was going on around me, because turned around and a crowd of people surrounded and separated us.
"Hey Mika, can you give me a hand?" She floated over and I grabbed onto her hands. She lifted me off the ground and toward where Rachel was going.
"Wendy, come on!"
"We're coming!" Wendy was holding onto Charlie's hands as she floated up toward us.
"Rachel's over there. She's actually an old friend of mine."
"Really?"
"Yeah, she helped me get away from Khovd the first time. She really helped me out. Mika, Charlie, down there." I pointed toward Rachel's house. Mika and Charlie lowered us down and we walked inside her house. She was waiting for us at the table near the door.
"This place hasn't changed a bit." I said sitting across from Rachel.
"Here's the reward money. Sorry that we can't pay you more, but the thieves took almost all our money." Rachel said sadly.
"It's okay, we set your town free, and that's reward enough." Wendy said.
"Yeah, to me, this is just a favor for an old friend." I said smiling. She smiled back.
"Thank you girls, have a safe trip home."
"Thanks." I said walking out the door.
