Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail, only my OCs. Thanks guys for waiting. I know I neglect this story more than the other ones, but I have so much to do anyway. So, I'm making up for it with two chappies! Enjoy!

Two figures are walking down a street in Magnolia, searching for something. I squinted my eyes to get a closer look, but the sun was in my eyes. Their backs are turned to the sun, so their entire front side is shaded black. But one thing is obvious: one is a girl and one is a guy. One smiled darkly, and he raised his hand, bloody red liquid spurting in tall geysers from the streets and from crevices in rocks.

Unfortunately, I got some in my mouth, and it tasted like blood.

The other summoned her magic, and in no time, Magnolia is on fire. Other people flooded from behind them, casting spells and wrecking havoc on Magnolia. I cried. The Dark Stars. Will they ever cease to stop following me? The scene froze.

We won't stop. Not until you come back to us. I will continue to send my forces upon you, wherever you are. I will break your spirit, and then I will break you. I am not afraid to kill innocent people, Amber. You would know that.

Get out of my head!I screamed back.

Amber, Amber. Tsk, tsk. I'm not going anywhere. I will plague your dreams for the rest of your life. Even when I go to hell!

You're already there, bitch!

Oh, I know. My palace is the hell hole. And watch your mouth, Amber Marie Waves. Don't make me torture you with your gift any further. I will let it show you what I will do. Give yourself to me. I will leave everyone you hold dear alone.

You will never leave them alone! That is such a lie! No, I will fight. Torture me all you want, but I will never leave mynew friends!

Very well. If that is your choice, I will never stop following you, haunting you, and destroying those you love. Mwahahaha!

The scene unfroze and the two figures continued to set the city on fire. The image swirled, revealing my family fighting against the dark guild, but they were losing to the superior numbers. There was a massive bang, and a cloaked figure walked out from the shadows, holding Master by the ankle upside down, smiling like the wretched demon serial killer she is.

Go to sleep, Amber Marie Waves. I'll be waiting. Give yourself over to me, and I will spare everyone. Demons' deal. Now go to sleep, Amber, so that you can wake up surrounded in smoke...

I woke up screaming, wakening everyone else that has slept over for the party Lucy had arranged. Well, Lucy and Juvia were already up making breakfast. Cana was too, but she was drinking from her unfinished barrel of alcohol she didn't get to finish last night. All is well. No smoke. I rubbed my temples, and Cana came over to comfort me.

"That's one hell of a scream," muttered Gajeel crankily. "What time is it?"

"Its 9:37am," responded Lucy. "You guys slept in."

I smirked. "Good thing I woke you guys."

"Well, everyone but Natsu," said Gray. We all looked over to the sleeping pyro. He was settled on the couch, snoring away. I giggled. He actually looks cute when he's sleeping. Wait. what? I mentally slapped myself. No thinking such thoughts, Amber. Bad girl.

I managed to stand up and hobble over to the kitchen where Lucy was preparing pancakes and Juvia the eggs and bacon. I took a deep whiff, breathing in the scent of deliciousness. I sighed in content. Nothing bad is going to happen today. I have that feeling.

"Morning, Lucy."

"Morning. You must have had a hell of a nightmare to scream like that."

"No kidding," said Laxus, rubbing his ears.

"Oh, I'm quite the screamer," I said, making the blonde giggle. Dylan and Cassandra walked over and grabbed some of the already made meals, passing them out. I got mine, and immediately started digging in. "So," I said through a mouthful of food, "what are we gonna do today?"

"Shopping," said Juvia. "Juvia can't wait to get new ear rings!"

"And you need something other than that," said Levy teasingly. I looked down at my skimpy clothing. I sighed in defeat. I do need new clothes, so I guess a shopping trip won't be bad. I had a nagging feeling in the back of my head. I ignored it, trying to focus on my nightmare while sipping out of a glass of orange juice. Let's see...I remember the Reaper, but I don't remember anything else. Very small details, like the smell of smoke and screaming, are the only things other than the Reaper I can remember.

That's not good.

If I can't remember what the Reaper said to me, then how am I going to do whatever to save all my friends? I growled. She wanted this. She wants me not to be able to remember so that I can do nothing. I hate her. I don't want anything bad to happen to everyone.

Someone nudged me. "Hey, you okay?"

Its Natsu. I looked at him stupidly for a few moments before blinking and comprehending what he said. "Oh, yeah, totally fine."

"Doesn't look like it," said the pyro, sitting down next to me to eat some pancakes. I shrugged and looked at my empty orange juice cup.

"You know those dreams, let's say nightmares, you have, and you think they mean something, but you can't remember?"

"I have those all the time! Well, they don't mean anything really, and they aren't nightmares."

"Oh...okay then."

Mirajane popped up out of nowhere. "Come one, Amber, we're going shopping! The boys are leaving, so when we come back we can have just an all girls' sleepover!"

"Oh...yay."

"Alright, then let's go!" and the white-haired woman dragged me out of Lucy's house after all the other girls.

I've never been to the mall. I have never really thought about shopping before due to living in a very small village that isn't very known. But now, especially that I don't have very much covering me, I can't get shopping out of my head.

I followed Lucy, Erza, Mirajane, Levy, Juvia, Cana, Dylan, Cassandra, and Wendy, who saw us walking by and decided to join us, down the street and to a large shopping plaza. I stared at the architecture, amazed at the beauty of it. Magnolia truly is a beautiful city.

The ladies dragged me over to their favorite store: Cute-tastic Clothing. I sweatdropped. I would rather go shopping at a goth store. Lucy immediately rushed toward the cute dresses.

"What are your clothing interests, Amber?" asked Cana.

I shrugged. "I have never really had much experience with shopping, so I don't know. Surprise me."

Erza smiled. "Its summer, so let's start out with a bathing suit."

"W-W-Wait, you guys are buying me my clothing?" I asked, flattered. But you can totally see the worry written all over my face. Its obvious that I feel uncomfortable with my friends buying me stuff. If its my birthday, then I'm totally fine. But when I have no money and my friends decide to buy me a lot of stuff, I feel overly guilty.

"Why not?" asked Mirajane. "You don't have any money. You can't buy anything. We're happy to buy you stuff if it'll make you happy."

"Really?" I asked, feeling my face heating up.

"Yeah. Its not friendly if we're gonna make you pay for your own clothes when you don't have any money," said Levy, Wendy nodding quickly behind her.

"Juvia agrees," said Juvia. Its still hard to comprehend her way of speech. Luckily I was able to understand.

"Now come on. We are going to get you a bathing suit," said Erza. "Ladies, pick her out some outfits."

Everyone else nodded and rushed through the store while Erza pulled me along with Cassandra following behind. We stopped at the bathing suit aisle. Okay, most of these are so skimpy I can barf. Lucky me, I found one that caught my eye.

"See one you fancy?" asked Cassandra.

I nodded and grabbed a black bikini with gold swirls from one of the racks. The bathing suit isn't as bad as it could be. It actually isn't very skimpy for a bikini. Erza nodded in approval. Cassandra squealed.

"That one's cute!"

I smiled. "Thanks."

Suddenly, Lucy popped up out of nowhere and dragged me into the dressing room, and pulled out a golden key. My mind clicked.

"You're a Celestial Wizard?" I asked stupidly.

Lucy nodded, holding out the key before her. "Gate of the Golden Maiden, I open! Virgo!"

There was a poof of dust and a shimmer, a maid with pink hair and blue eyes appearing before us in a deep bow. "Hello, Princess."

"Hi-ya, Virgo! Can you get my friend here into this dress?" said Lucy, holding out a dress to Virgo, who nodded and flashed a dark glare at me. Oh, hell no. I'm not putting that on. Virgo hovered toward me with a dark aura. I moved away as quickly as I could, but ended up running in circles in the small dressing closet from the demented maid. I'm tempted to scream "ASSAULT!" but I knew that that would only anger the maid. She eventually got me in a choke hold, her eyes glowing red.

"Let's get you into this dress, shall we?" And so, the demented spirit forced me into the dress. I pouted at Lucy.

"I can dress myself, you know."

Lucy snickered. "I know. I just wanted to see what you would do."

I muttered something insulting under my breath, and looked at myself in the mirror. The dress was red, with no sleeves and held up by a golden choker around my neck. There is a golden belt around my waist, and there is a light amount of makeup on my face. "Uh, did we have to include makeup? I don't really like the stuff."

"Fine then. But let's see what the other girls think."

And of course, she dragged me out the dressing closet with Virgo in tow. Everyone thought the dress was cute, and they couldn't wait to get me into different outfits. I feel like a doll.

Erza and Cassandra apparently understood what type of clothes I like from my choice of a bathing suit, because everyone else got me girly cute clothes while they got me dark clothes. I picked my outfits and we were about to go and pay when Dylan called us.

"Noobs, I know what stuff she really wants." And she held up an outfit. I squealed. I immediately raced to the dressing room with the outfit and Virgo, now used to the creepy maid dressing and undressing me. I looked at myself in the mirror. My hair seemed to curl all by itself in the back, leaving my bangs and the bangs framing my face to be wavy and curled at the ends. I'm wearing a black long-sleeved turtle neck shirt, a short black pleated skirt, black slouch boots, and black stockings that go as far as the middle of my thighs. Virgo had added a light amount of mascara and a few layers of eyeliner. She had given me a diamond stud ear cuff with a chain, and a single black metal stud under my eyes slightly to the side. I'm wearing a black leather belt with silver chains and white bracelets.

I looked at Virgo. "You pierced my face!"

"It looks cute with your freckles, Miss."

"Uh...thanks."

I stepped out, and the girls squealed. "Now we just need to take you on your own job. Then you can get your own place. But until then, you can stay at y place," said Lucy. I smiled at my friends.

"Thanks, guys. I'll pay you back."

"No, this is of our own free will," said Levy. "You don't have to pay us back."

And so, my friends got me some new clothes. I can't believe how they just accepted me into their guild. Its amazing! I feel so loved, and when we returned to Lucy's place, Natsu and Gray were the only ones left, and some of the other girls but Erza left. We had fun, playing another round of Dare or Dare, me ending up having to slap Gray's ass when he was getting a drink. It was an embarrassing night, and it didn't seem to bother Lucy that Natsu and Gray had decided to sleep the night over. Apparently, they had before.

All is well, but little did I know what my dreams were going to be like that night...

Hey, everyone! 'Tis the Slaya! I hope you guys are enjoying the story so far. Its taking forever just to get to one story. Again, I've got a LOT of other stupid stories to worry about, but everyone is loving them so I'm cool with that.

I have this nagging feeling that Amber is kind of Mary Sue-ish. Mind telling me if my gut is right? I would go with my gay, but he's not here. Guys, a little tip for life, you always have to have a gay friend as your go-to gay. When you want to know if you look cute or anything, go with your gut, then go with your gay. Lesson from Anjelah Johnson. She's a comedian. And she's pretty funny. If you have Netflix, watch her. Its awesome XD Anywho, double update for you guys for my absence, so here! ...
