A fire popped and sizzled, two deep voices exchanged words too muffled to hear. Slowly, my eyes opened and my senses returned to me. I was covered with a heavy jacket that smelled familiar. Sitting up, the jacket slid off, the voices hushed. Then it hit me, this was Gajeel's house, so it must be him and Lily in the next room talking. I picked up his heavy jacket and laid it back on the bed. And crept around the room.
It was dark, the only light provided by the fire. Shadows rose and fell in-sync with the flames. As far as I can see, I saw the room was more like a cave, a few belongings scattered all over the room. So this is how it looks like, in the anime, they never showed how it looked like. I sat near the doorway to eavesdrop. Gajeel's voice carried through, "I can feel your heartbeat, Short-stuff. I know you're awake." I squeaked in surprise.
Sheepishly, I came out of my hiding spot, ashamed I had been snooping on them. Lily sat near the fire, drinking his kiwi juice. Gajeel sat crossed-legged on the rug in front of the flames. The dancing flames lit up his sharp features and glinted on his metal studs that adorned his face. Red crimson eyes were hidden behind his lids as he bore a look of concentration. "What were you doing in that alley way?"
Honestly, I didn't remember, so I told him. He grimaced in frustration. "Nevermind. Hurry up and get well, the sooner so I can kick you out." I pouted, harsh love. An alley way? Ew, with garbage and rats? No, why would I be in there?
Seeing that troubled look on my face, Gajeel softened." I didn't mean it like that."
I shook my head, "No, it's not that. It's just…. I can't remember anything before."
"Could it be Rogue? Did he catch you?" Gajeel leaned forward, at the sound of Rogue's name, Lily jumped up, spilling the juice. The image of Future Rogue's face filled with anger popped up, but why?
"I-I don't know." Was it a dream? A vision? "I'm going to sleep, see you tomorrow." With my blue hair hiding my features, I went back into the dark and cold room.
The next morning, he was still asleep with Lily in the other room. The fire out and cold. Carefully stepping over them and making sure not to make noise, I was like a ninja. Trees swayed and leaves flew through the air. Leaves crunched under my feet as I made my way to Fairy Tail Guild. Halfway through the forest I realized, I have no idea where I'm going!
After at least an hour of wandering, I found my way out. Only to stumble in on a scene. A long white haired man was throwing rocks violently at random places. "Why must i stumble upon the weakest member? I could make her stronger, but that would require too much energy. It would be worth it, Fairy Tail attacked by it's weakest member and falls at her feet." He cackled with evil laughter, "I will be the mastermind behind it all. I will have my revenge and Fairy Tail will fall!" He looked up to the sky, throwing his hands out, his pupils dilated giving him a crazy look. He laughed, it sent chills down my spine. I hid behind a tree, sliding down and holding my head in between my hands. That was Future Rogue, that 'weakest member' he was talking about must have been me.
Then it came crashing down, the reality. The red pill, last night, the alley way. I will be the downfall of Fairy Tail? Tears threatened to spill, I was weak, useless. now I'm going to destroy the thing that I cared for the most? My family. "Peek-a-boo." Rogue's face looked down on me, smiling widely. I screamed and ran never looking back, "Come back!" He sang playfully, "We'll destroy it together." A shadow reached out and seized my ankle. I fell to the dirt floor, Rogue grinned above me, "Got you." He reached down. An iron pillar hit him far away, he 'tched' and disappeared into a shadow, his laugh echoing in the trees.
Gajeel reached down and pulled me up, supporting me as I buckled. He opened his mouth to say something witty until he saw my tears, "Take me back to the guild. Hurry." He shut his mouth and carried me. Lily providing look-out above.
The doors to the guild opened and everyone looked at us, a beaten-up Levy and a angry Gajeel. I answered the question their eyes pleaded to know. "Shadow Rogue." I croaked out, before passing out.
