A/N: ah oh my gosh just read the latest fairy tail on Tuesday and why Gray!?
Sorry about not writing and I wont take up anymore time with silly apologies.
Anyway this chapter.
Being encased in stone wasn't exactly the salmon haired woman's idea of a good time.
Not only was she bored out of her mind, but her foot was itchy and she couldn't even scratch it. Rissy definitely knew that she hated playing prisoner.
She gave a small sigh once she realised that there was no way for her to scratch her foot if she was trapped in her stone prison.
The sound of the door to the dungeon opening caught her attention, and with most of her strength managed to turn her face to see the three figures walking in.
She cringed at the sight of Elijah's face instantly lighting up at the sight of her in her imprisoned state. If one thing was certain it was that he had some serious issues.
He cleared the space between them, the figures behind him - Emmanuel and Ezekiel doing the same.
"Ah, Clarissa, look who joined us" He said with a grin as the moonlight illuminated his already pale face.
Rissy narrowed her eyes at the sight of the magenta haired mage, she had thought he changed, that he wanted to find hope but it appeared it was a lie.
A facade and she had fell for it, a part deep inside of her wanting him to want this hope, yet he lied to her, used her childlike innocence against her and she hated herself for it.
"Looks like you can take part in this crazy scheme together" She remarked with a small snort.
She involuntarily shivered at Elijah's piercing gaze, his forest green eyes seemed to bore into hers. A darkness she feared pooled them, and it looked as if he wasn't to find the light.
Taking another step closer to her, Elijah raised his hand causing a green magic circle to appear. The stone prison temporarily moved, so that it was only encasing her legs and two stone pillars appeared either side of her and thus trapped her hands.
She naturally struggled against the prison; however the sight of Elijah stepping even closer towards her, the shining metal of a dagger in his hands caused her struggles to speed in their intensity.
At the sight of her struggling before him, a smirk appeared over his thin lips.
"Clarissa, this will only hurt for a second" he said in a conceding tone.
She released small growl however her eyes darted over to Emmanuel's a glowing lacrima in his hand.
Her eyes widened, and upon pitting two and two together she didn't like the way this was heading.
"I'm giving you the honour of becoming a God" he asked.
His head tilted slightly to the side, and thus giving him the appearance of a porcelain doll from a horror movie.
Her eyes darted to Emmanuel, trying to plead to reason or even to appeal to his better nature. However judging from the crazed look in his eyes he was set on revenge. Revenge for a crime she hadn't committed or deserve to be accused of.
She turned her attentions to Ezekiel, the emotion manipulator had lowered his head so his magenta coloured hair shadowed his eyes.
Before she could even make some sort of comeback or witty remark the sharpness of the blade had pierced the skin of her abdomen. Right where the now healed scar of the old guild was placed.
Her eyes instantly shut in an attempt to numb or even ignore the pain, but with the lacrima being forcefully pushed inside her gaping wound she had little respite.
Ignoring Elijah's crazed face she glanced down at the wound. Red had stained her skin and the liquid ran down her legs and onto the stone. The scent was heavy in the air.
Tears threatened to fall from the pain however she held it in, ready to not give the mages the satisfaction.
Before they had a chance to fall, Ezekiel had placed his hand inches away from her skin. A small magic circle appeared and the pain was instantly numbed however the wound evident.
With a first aid needle, Elijah begun the job of mending the wound he had inflicted.
"Such a shame to ruin delicate skin..." He sighed as he tugged at the needle.
She flinched at the action while letting out a small hiss.
"Then you shouldn't have ruined it" She said through gritted teeth.
He shook his head at her bluntness before forcefully pulling at the needle. She glared at him then and if it wasn't for her being trapped she would have kicked him right there and then.
"Sacrifices must be made, Clarissa" he said with a tut.
She winced as he used the blade to cut at the thread, his job was complete and the wound was sealed.
She felt the fight in her leave then, an overwhelming sense of emotions filled her; anger, hatred, power lust and desire.
She tried to fight it but the emotions were strong and threatened to overtake her. The lacrima beneath her skin glowed with a bright light, it's power beginning to work its magic inside her and she watched with a half lidded gaze as Elijah lightly traced his fingers over his handiwork.
"How does it feel, to have such power?" He asked with a lustrous voice.
A part of her screamed to fight. To do something however the part of her that the lacrima controlled forced her body to respond.
To her surprise and shock she actually moaned at his touch and her own dark eyes met his.
"It feels great, Elijah...Sama" She answered with an added groan.
She felt defeated as she watched his smirk widen at her response and she watched as he turned to the mages behind him.
"Ensure that the others are ready to depart" he ordered and they nodded.
Her eyes narrowed at the mention of the 'others' and before she could speak, figures made themselves known.
There were familiar faces among the crowd of mages that were now Elijah's followers. Among them being the mermaid heel mage- Millianna as she heard Erza address her; the tall heavy eye browed mage Jura from Lamia Scale who was accompanied by his partner, the canine faced Toby.
Mages that on countless occasions had allied with Fairy Tail, now reduced to Elijah's personal lackeys.
"Amazing, isn't it?" He asked as he watched Rissy's horrified state.
"We used a similar lacrima on them, as I did you...However they won't have the same abilities" he explained with a smirk.
She continued to stare blankly at him, however a part of her internally screamed at his actions.
"Like I said, we should depart" he started as he flicked his wrist and thus caused the stone prison that encased her to disappear.
She momentarily glanced down at herself, rubbing the sore skin of her wrists gingerly. Her fingers ghosted over the Fairy Tail insignia and the part of her that wanted to be saves cries out hoping that her nakama would find her.
They had been on the train for the past forty minutes now, the blonde haired mage stared silently out of the window next her. Hoping that they would somehow find the Dragneel siblings before something bad happened.
Lavender was curled up on her lap, with Happy on her other side. Though the small exceed appeared to be sound asleep, Lucy was aware of her silent sobs as her small body shook.
The smallest of the exceeds had never been parted from Rissy for long periods of time so to not have her by her side was upsetting.
Both Erza, Juvia and Gray sat opposite the celestial mage and the exceeds, a faraway look sported the ice make mage, whilst Erza appeared indifferent her face cleared of all emotions.
Though it had surprised Lucy at first at Juvia's eagerness to accompany them, she soon realised that like them Juvia and Rissy shared a bond.
Their mutual love of rain instantly caused the two women to become close to one another and it was often that the water mage was found with the dragon slayer happily in the rain.
"Someone should tell Sabertooth" Happy said quietly from his space next to Lucy.
Juvia frowned slightly, whilst Gray turned toward the exceed in confusion.
"Why would they need to know?" He asked with a raised brow.
The water mages eyes widened before glancing outside to look at the clouds. It looked as if love was found in the most unusual of places.
"Rissy-Chan's heart belongs to Rogue" She concluded with a small satisfied smile.
A fond memory coming to service as she questioned the salmon haired beauty on her emotions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The two women had been sat outside the outskirts of Magnolia. After making it rain for Rissy-Chan the pair had retired for shelter.
Juvia noted the faraway look in Rissy's eyes. A look that she often had herself when thinking of her Gray - Sama. The look was unmistakable, a look of silent longing, devotion and love.
"Who does Rissy-Chan's heart belong to?" Juvia asked and thus effectively breaking the silence.
She silently watched as Rissy flinched a blush threatening to take over. Never before had she seen the dragon slayer this way.
"Um - no one" she answered quietly
Juvia frowned before turning back to the sky. It had turned back to its usual blue hue after it had rained.
"Don't lie to Juvia. Juvia knows what the heart wants and Juvia knows Rissy-Chan's heart wants love" She stated.
She watched as a small smile made its way across the salmon haired woman's face and she turned to face Juvia.
"Via-Chan..." She started a name that only Rissy had called her. "You're right, but I wouldn't say love...At least not yet" she said with the smile still enact.
Juvia tilted her head to the side in confusion. She half wanted to know who this person was but with the faraway look she judged that he want of the guild, only somewhere further.
"Juvia want to know who Rissy-Chan's heart belongs to" Juvia said.
Rissy smiled once more before stroking the sleeping Lavender.
"It's Rogue-Kun" she said quietly and Juvia was more surprised that she actually answered. Yet she felt flattered for it meant that Rissy trusted her. That she called her a friend.
The train suddenly rattled, shaking from side to side with such force that the mages were forced to hold onto the chairs with all their might.
Lucy was thrown further down the shaking train and sent crashing into a set of chairs with both Lavender and Happy sent tumbling after her.
Erza lost her grip and was sent crashing into Lucy, the pair now both in a slightly dazed state. Whilst Gray hung onto both the chair, and Juvia, much to her delight.
Once the train finally stopped shaking and was laying on it side, Erza was the first to get up and was slightly shocked to find Lucy pinned beneath her.
"Someone attacked the train" Erza stated before glancing back down to Lucy.
"Lucy there's no time for laying around" She added before forcefully pulling the blonde up with one hand.
Lucy wobbled slightly in her dazed state before nodding.
Glancing over to Gray and Juvia, the pair had already started on climbing out of the train via a window and we're helping passengers out the same way.
"I guess we were lucky there weren't any serious casualties" Lavender said with an added yawn.
Happy nodded in agreement before climbing out of the train.
Upon climbing out the sound of screams were heard and multiple civilians were seen running around the station in an attempt to avoid the chaos.
Lucy turned and spotted Gray and Juvia battling what appeared to Toby and Jura. What surprised Lucy was that she felt a large amount of magic radiating from the Lamia Scale mages and what confused her was that they were allies not enimies.
Before she could react a familiar pink magic circle appeared and Lucy found herself bound.
"Lucy!" Happy and Lavender exclaimed in unison as they attempted to free their friend.
A cat like laugh pierced the air causing the exceeds to shudder.
"No, no, kitty this isn't your fight" a familiar voice purred.
Glancing down at the familiar restraints she gasped as the mage made themselves known.
"Millianna?" Lucy gasped as her eyes narrowed on the Mermaid Heel mage.
Millianna grinned her eyes sporting an unusual magenta hue before glancing back down at her captive.
Raising her hand to attack once more, Lucy closed her eyes as she awaited the impact.
An explosion sounded as Millianna's kitten blast hit, only Lucy's eyes widened at the sight of Erza standing in front of her with a sword raised and armour tinged from the attack.
The red-head scowled at the woman who she called her friend, an ally.
"Millianna, you aren't yourself" Erza stated as the cat like girl continued to stare her down.
Millianna gave a small smirk before turning her attentions back to Erza.
"Maybe I'm not. But one things certain I will defeat you" Millianna hissed and it was then that the two mages started to battle.
After what appeared to be an eternity, walking through the underground tunnel the solid script FOLLOW that Levy had previously created, suddenly disappeared and thus left the mages at a dead end.
Wendy made a small sigh before turning towards the older mages in a hope that they would have a plan.
"Maybe this is the end?" She suggested with a shrug.
Carla nodded in agreement before turning to Levy.
"The spell did wear off so maybe this is where she was taken?" She added.
Wendy watched with curious eyes as Natsu started on hitting the stone wall with flame engulfed fists.
"Maybe, Natsu - San is onto something" she muttered quietly over the sound off stone crumbling.
Seemingly annoyed at not getting in on the action, Gajeel quickly adorned his iron scales and he too started on pounding the wall. Even if he didn't admit it, she knew the iron dragon slayer cared for his nakama it was just he had a shell of iron armour that concealed a kind heart.
Wendy smiled at the silent act before taking up a fighting stance next to the older mages. Even Levy offered her own hand by using her magic to create a HAMMER.
It was with the final addition of Wendy's own spell that the wall crumbled, causing dust and debris to fall around the mages.
Wendy was forced to squeeze her eyes shut whilst shielding her face with her arms to avoid getting hit.
It looked as if Gajeel had shielded Levy from the blow by protectively wrapping his arms round her small frame while Lily and Carla exchanged a knowing look.
Glancing around the young mage realised that Natsu was gone. Perhaps he had gotten departed from them once the wall collapsed?
Somehow Wendy hoped that he was alright wherever he was.
A soft pat to her head told her that they were ready to move, with or without Natsu. And with a small sigh she quickened her pace to keep up with the iron dragon slayer and the script mage, with Lily and Carla not to far behind.
So what did you think of that?
Just really looking forward to the next Fairy Tail chapter, but my real issue is whats happened with Gajeel and wheres Levy ?
Anyway stay tuned, for in the next chapter Natsu gets reunited with his sister, the author attempts to write a fight scene and other things happen.
