Chapter 1~An Unknown Power
O ~ O Amethyst O ~ O
He pulled away blushing after a split second. My face was burning as well.
"Um...sorry. It was kind of on an impulse..." he said
"It's okay, I understand. I went missing six years ago. It's natural considering how close we were."
"Yeah, everyone thought we were a young couple. I remember beating up Natsu when ever he teased us."
"Oh yeah, I'm surprised you haven't done that yet." Gray said laughing.
"I haven't been able to since I just got out of the infirmary a couple of days ago..." I said looking down. I sensed him stiffen.
"Why were you in the infirmary and how long?"
"I was in there for a few weeks. The people who kidnapped me wanted to make sure I never got out. And when I did I ran nonstop all the way here and I was seriously injured. I'm still kind of recovering." I whispered. I looked out over the cliff where my grave was. I walked over to the edge. I heard Gray take a deep breath.
"Amethyst...you mark..."
"I know, they aimed most of the hits there. The said it would taint my beauty when they finished. Thanks to Mirajane, you can easily see it and the rest of the marks will finish healing without scars soon. You know...they told me what you did when they said I was dead."
"I'm sorry..." He said
"It's okay, I'm glad you didn't do it."

"We're sorry Gray...but she's dead" the master said
"NO! You lying!" I yelled running out of the guild. I ran to the one place that we both loved. It was a cliff side that looked out at the ocean. "If it really is true...then I have to keep my promise...so we can always be together..." I walked closer to the edge of the cliff.
"Gray! Stop!" Natsu yelled. I jumped off the cliff. I curled up into a ball an surrounded my self in ice. I would die at the bottom of the sea. I hit the water and began to sink down. I slipped out of consciousness when the air supply ran out. When I woke up I was wrapped up in blankets in the infirmary. People tried to talk to me, give me food and water, but I refused them all. Until Natsu yelled at me and said that the promise was for when we were both alive and that we shouldn't follow each other to the grave. I pretended to understand. But the guilt of not following her followed me until today.

"Natsu was right, I never wanted you to kill yourself so we could be together. You deserved to live." I said sill looking out at the sea. I jumped slightly when Gray came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. His head was resting on my shoulder.
"Thank you..." he whispered. I put my arms over his. We stood there for hours looking up at the stars.

O ~ O Gray O ~ O
The previous night had been fun, although the master and Cana had major hang overs. Although today was going fun as well. Last night I said that Amethyst had lost her touch. We got into an argument. So I challenged her to take on Laxus, Natsu, and Gajeel all at the same time. She took it. I was sitting at the counter talking to Mirajane when the doors opened. We looked over to see Amethyst and Lucy walking in. I held my hand over my nose just in case it started to bleed. Lucy was in her normal clothing, and Amethyst was wearing a short black skirt and a tight slightly see through white and silver striped long sleeve shirt with a black short-sleeved shirt with lightning on the front over it. She had a silver chain around her left ankle and around her right wrist and a white and black bead choker. She also had silver earring that where shaped like lightning bolts. She wore knee-high black heeled boots with silver lightning patterns. She was wearing absolutely no make up except for lipstick. It made her lips look like blood.
The part that did make my nose bleed was when she crossed her arms under her breasts. It made them pop out even more that the shirt was. Lucy was doing the same thing. I could tell what was going through every guys head at the moment. Two sexy women with rather large breasts were standing next to each other, each with their arms crossed, making their chests look slightly larger. They were even about the same height, with Lucy being a little taller. Their hair was done the same way, except Amethyst had a dark blue ribbon and her hair was way longer.
From what I could tell, they were searching through the crowd. The looked towards each other and nodded. Then Amethyst walked over to me. I had already cleaned up the nose blood, so that was good.
"Is Lucy finding the others?" I asked as she sat down.
"Yup, along with Freed." She said drinking a glass of water. As soon as she finished, Lucy brought the contestants over.
"Lucy told us about the bet, so much is at stake?" Natsu asked
"We said 1,000 jewel." I answered "If one person doesn't have enough, the next time they go on a job that amount is given to the other person. But there's a catch for the fighters. Any damage done must be paid for by the person who did it."
"How are we going to keep track?" Gajeel said
"Freed will use his magic." Amethyst stated
"Why am I involved?" Laxus asked
"Because you're one of the strongest wizards here." Amethyst said
"And you three have to work together, it's three against one." I said
"But we don't-" Natsu got cut off
"the whole point of this is to prove to Gray that I'm still the same wizard I used to be, maybe better." Amethyst cut in
"Fine..." the three wizards said. Everyone headed outside and made a circle around the four wizards. Freed set up the score board where everyone could see. Then he went and stood by the master who was on a podium.
"On your marks," the master said, the fighters getting into their fighting stances. "Get set...GO!" he yelled. The three guys circled around Amethyst while she just stood there. The team of three charged into the battle taking turns attacking. She blocked every hit, even the interlude where she had two people attacking her at once. When they realized that it was useless, that started attacking all at the same time. The guys weren't even using their magic yet. But than again neither was Amethyst. When the guys backed away, there wasn't even a single scuff mark on Amethyst. A single thought went through the team of three's mind. Time to use magic. Gajeel went first, he swung his metal arm around trying to hit her, but she dodged. When she saw an opening, she grabbed his arm and flipped over him. He fell down unable to move. His arm was rather burned. Next went Natsu. He used all of his fire attacks. I could tell she let one of them graze her so she didn't make Natsu feel to bad, just like the old days. When Natsu gave an opening, Amethyst ran forward and kicked him in the chest. When he landed, his chest had multiple cuts. Then came Laxus. He used his lightning attacks. A few did graze, it proved that she was a little rusty. But not soon after that, Laxus gave his opening. She grabbed his arms pulling them behind his back and locking them together with ice. Then she kicked him up into the air. Then she created an ice 'bowl' that shattered when Laxus hit it. When Laxus fell on to the real ground, only a few of the tiles were set loose. Everyone was down for the count. When I looked up at the score board, Amethyst's total came up to... 10 jewel. The other three were in the thousands.
Wendy went out and used a little about of sky magic so that everyone was at least conscious. Amethyst walked over to me after she told Wendy she was fine.
"Now I believe you owe my 1,000 jewel." she said smirking. I pulled the money out of my pocket.
"Here..." I grumbled
"Okay...how the hell did she do that?" Lucy asked
"Why don't we all go inside and I'll explain my magic." Amethyst said. As we went inside, she sat on the stage. When everyone sat down she began. "I'll start by saying I am the only one in the world who can use this magic. I use the elements wind, water, lighting, and ice. Or in other words, I am a Storm Mage." she said. this was old news for me and the master, but every one else was shocked.
"But that's impossible! Storm Mage's are only legends and fairy tales!" Carla said
"That was true, at least until I became a wizard. I don't remember my parents at all. I was bounced around from home to home until I came to a house with a single man. I later found out that he was my real father. I was abused for a few years, until I turned eight. That's when I ran away. I passed out in the outskirts of a town in the mountains. I was picked up by a group of three. Their names were Gray, Lyon, and Ur. They took me in and took care of my for a while. When Ur asked me what had happened, I told her everything. I had run away so I could learn magic to protect myself and the things closest to me. She took me in and taught the three of us together. But there came a time were my magic would no longer improve. Ur looked up possible reasons as to why. And she found an answer. Storm Mage's can only go so far with one element of magic. The true strength of their spells comes when they are protecting something important and combine the elements. When Ur found this out, she was hesitant to tell me. There is a reason why Storm Mage's are so utterly rare. To become a full-fledged Storm Mage, you body must go through a process. This process takes all the elements of a storm and shoves them into your body all at once. The elements fight with each other to gain dominance. In other words they tear the body apart." She said. Okay, that was new.
"The only way to become a Storm Mage is to control all the elements at once and calm them down. It's like multiple spirits in your body, each using different magic. It's also like being a celestial wizard. You have to befriend the spirits. If you don't do this fast enough, you die. Thus the lack of Storm Mage's. When Ur told me about it, she said it was my decision whether to follow that path or not. When I decided to try, she took me to a place where they taught people like me, how to use the mixed magic. There are many mixed mage's out there, and they all go through the same thing. Only the Storm Mage's are lethal though. They taught me how to use the magic separately. Once I got as far as I could, I went through the trial. Shortly after I was taken away by people. That was the first time I used my magic. I ran away and then I came to Mongolia. Gray found me on the street and brought me here, to the guild where I joined and stayed her for about three years. Then I was taken again. But this time I had nothing to fight for. The limit on Storm Mage's is their emotions. Their magic is only as strong as their will to protect at that moment. There for we also have to train our bodies. That is the power of a Storm Mage." She concluded.
So that's why she suddenly went all crazy the day we got our asses kicked. The more she wants to protect, the more powerful her magic is.
"We can use each element separately to a certain extent, but the combined magic has no limit. As long as you have enough magic energy and a strong enough body to cast is, is will keep on growing." she said "Any questions?"
"Is it painful?" Natsu asked
"Whats the worst thing you have ever felt?" she asked
"I don't know."
"Well when you do, multiply it by a million. Then you might know how it felt."
"Why so much?" he asked
"Natsu, you get you body ripped to shreds from the inside while you're getting electrocuted, cut by wind, drowned, and frozen. You should be able to guess it's not very pleasant."
"Would Natsu be able to become a Storm Mage?" Bisca asked
"No, I guess you could say each person has a unique soul. The soul decides what kind of magic you can use. Only the best can see it, the aura around the person that is their magic energy. For instance, Natsu's looks like a fire dragon. The energy not only take the form of the element, but it also had a shape based on your personality." She said. Damn, she was good.
"You said you were being chased by someone, who is it?" Alzack said. Silence filled the room. Amethyst looked down at the ground, I could see a single tear fall down.
Than finally she whispered "My father..."
