Good morning, my faithful followers! Ommavis. Two chapters from two stories in two days? You guys are so spoiled. I'm gonna see if I can post one or two more chapters today and tomorrow as well. I just barely discovered that Google docs has a voice type thing and it has made my life SSSSOOOO much easier you have no idea. It is truly amazing. I would keep going but I have to give up the computer I'm using so...I'm taking a break until I can find another device to type on. Which in itself shouldn't be too hard. Which story do you think I'm gonna post next? Take a guess.
Also, I keep reading about stolen stories but I don't know what to do about it. I mean seriously. I tried looking but I don't know what to look for. So if any of you want to do it for me, I would really appreciate it.
I want to thank torral11, Pyrrhia, and thegirlunseen, for following my story as well.
~~Chapter 7~~
My father smiled, clearly pleased to see this daughter free from her unstable mind. However, his smile soon faded.
"Zeref and I think it would be best to split all of you up."
"No!" I screamed.
"Sting, you and your sister will go to Fairy Tail to be with your cousin. You two look most like him. Rogue, you will stay here. Silver, I'm sending you to Blue Pegasus. Kitten and Ken will stay as well. Winter, you will join Mermaid Heel. Make sure that you always have a partner with at all times. Max, Lamia Scale. Minerva, you will stay here as well. Any questions?"
"Why are you splitting us up?" Sting yelled.
"The note. They're going after you three it will be harder for them to find you if you're split up." I nodded slowly and sat next to Rogue and wrapped my arms around him. In return he draped his arm around my shoulders.
"Can we visit each other?" Winter asked.
"In moderation. If on a mission, on the way back you may visit the guilds. If they're along the way then you can stay three days. You also can't visit the same guild more than once a week. You must remember that you have to remain under the radar and any time longer than that spent with each other could raise alarms. Any alarms risin are alarms that don't need to be risin."
"Where will the exceeds go?" Ken asked.
"The exceeds will stay with their companions."
"What do we tell people who ask about our background?" Silver spoke up.
"Each of you will have a different cover story. Sting, you and your sister wanted to move to your cousin's guild. Silver, you wanted to explore and decided to join the guild. Winter, you wanted to join a girls only guild. Max, you ran away to join a guild. If any of your backstories are exposed do what you must to stay under the radar. Don't raise attention to yourself and don't reveal anything about our family."
"Will we ever come back?" asked Max.
"That is for to decide. However, until this problem is over you are restricted from rejoining Sabertooth. Once this matter is resolved you may return as you please."
"When will it end?" Kitten asked shyly.
"That can't be determined at this point in time, dear, We barely have any information on why this started in the first place. All we know so far is what we gathered during the attack. But, I promise you we will get to the bottom of this."
"How did you come up with this so fast?" Mousy asked.
"He didn't. I did." Uncle Zeref said from where he stood next to my father.
"I caught wind of a rumor something bad was going to happen. So as a result I came up with this separation plan. I heard the rumor months ago and had given only few details to King. Just not enough to put him in danger. I told him in the first place because he overheard me mention the separation to your father."
"When do we leave?" Sting asked. I squeezed my arms a little tighter around Rogue's stomach, my cheek on his chest.
"Tomorrow. Based on Rogue's current situation, it's clear tomorrow is the earliest." The room nodded in agreement.
"Then it's settled. Tomorrow at noon will have the send off. Until then, spend as much time here with your friends and family." Father stated. Again the room nodded before filing out the door. Once outside we stood together unsure of what to do next.
"Now what?" Asked Max.
"Throw a farewell party?" We nodded in agreement. We walk back to the main hall to find the people drained of energy. My brothers and I share a glance before addressing the Guild atop the stage.
"Good evening, Sabertooth. We have come to an agreement. For our safety as well as yours, we will follow through with our father's plans." The guild shout out their protests at Sting's words.
"But we can't let that down our spirits. what do we do before someone leaves?" Rogue asked. The guilds attitude brightened instantly.
"Farewell party!" Someone from the crowd shouted.
"Farewell party!" The rest of the guild shouted.
"We have till tomorrow at noon so let's make it count!" I yelled. The guild roared and agreement.
"Then let's get this party started!" we shouted in unison. All at once the tense atmosphere was forgotten, replaced with the joyful energy of a party. It was almost as if a switch had been flipped. The once quiet guild was now loud as the music pounded from the speakers. The once dull lights now flashed with color. The people who were once standing around now moved with the music. People swarmed the bar getting drinks before going to the dance floor. Our parties weren't usually like this but this time we had an excuse. As the night passed I never left Rogue's side. It be my last time seeing him in a while and I was just determined to make it count.
The next day the smell of pancakes woke me up. As I looked around I noticed a lot of others had woken up to. My head pounded from my massive hangover and I groaned in pain. However, there seemed to be something in the pancakes that made my hangover start to fade. Once my brothers were up we made our way to the kitchen. It was there that I learned that it was almost noon and the cook had put something in the guild breakfast to instantly cure hangovers. Once our breakfast was done we went to the main hall. We made it just in time to hear my father called me and my siblings who would leaving up to the stage. I sigh in sadness.
Today was the day I had to separate from Rogue. I didn't want to leave him. After all, this would be our first real time apart. We almost tore the guild apart the last time we were separated. A thought struck me. If we couldn't be separated then Rogue could come with us. However, there was a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that told me Zeref had figured out a way to separate us. The happy feeling vanished and left me hollow inside. I didn't let it show on my face in fear alarm in my guild mates. They needed to be unafraid of leaving. When we got on stage, dad started.
"Good morning, Sabertooth. You have had your fun last night and it is time to say goodbye to our family. Unfortunately it's time for us to part. Our paths may cross or they may not. For this is for the future to decide. But, before you go you must remember these rules. Always:
One– Never reveal any sensitive information about Sabertooth.
Two– Never let anyone push you around no matter their skill level.
Three– Always remember the good times at Sabertooth and never forget the friends you made.
Four– No matter what, as long as rule one one is kept, will always have a home and will be welcomed back to Sabertooth.
Five– Protect yourself and your comrades no matter what guild your end.
This is the Sabertooth farewell and never forget that we will always remember you." The crowd exploded in loud applause. We made our way off the stage to the waiting crowd. At the bottom people give us hugs and bid us farewell. Some even shed unnecessary tears. I couldn't help but smile at their dramaticness.
"You'll soon visit right?" Rogue asked.
"Yeah. You walk with us to the train station, right?" Rogue smiled.
"Yeah." I smile back at him. I glanced at Sting. He was talking to Yukino probably saying goodbye. I noticed Rogue was watching them as well.
"Don't let her fall for someone else, okay?" He laughed.
"Yeah, all right." We continue to talk all the way to the train station. After all, who knows when I would see him again. Every once in awhile I would glance at Sting and see him continuing to talk with Yukino.
"Seems like now that we're leaving Sting can finally have a long conversation with her." Rogue noticed.
"Yeah. Remember at home? As soon as 5 minutes have passed, he would find a way to escape," I responded.
"You timed it?"
"I couldn't help it. I wanted to tease him about it later." I glanced down at Aniston beside me. She was talking with Froshe and Lecter about who knows what.
"I can't believe you aren't coming Rogue. You remember last time we were separated. We almost tore the guild in half."
"Actually, last night when everyone was sleeping, dad woke me up. He said he created a spell that prevented us from destroying things when we're apart." He pulled out three necklaces from his pocket. Each had a different color and was in the shape of a dragon and each dragon was in a different pose. I gently touched the dragons and looked at Rogue.
"He enchanted the necklaces so we could communicate between the three of us. You tap the dragon once to call the triplet that is furthest away. Double tap to call the closest triplet and triple tap to answer or end the call. It only responds to your touch and voice after you use it for the first time. That way when we feel like losing control, we can still calm eachother down." I could feel the tears from my eyes, and smiled.
"Thank you." I threw myself at him and wrapped my arms around his neck. He hugged me back and I heard footsteps approaching us. I broke away and turned to face the newcomer.
"Well, what do we have here? Seems like something is going on that I should know about." Sting said.
"Dad found a way that we wouldn't destroy the guild we're going to. A special communication lacrima." Rogue handed us each a dragon necklace. Mine was pink flying dragon breathing fire, Sting's was a sitting white dragon and Rogue's was a fighting black dragon.
"Why does mine have to actions?" I asked as Rogue clipped the necklace behind my neck.
"What do you mean? Your Dragon is only flying."
"What?" I turned the pendant in my fingers to see it better. It was clearly breathing fire as it flew. How could they not see that? Turning it over I noticed small letters engraved in the back. 'Summer'. What does that mean? I didn't have any more time to think about it as a loud train whistle blasted into my ear. I turned to look at my family. Four of the nine stayed, with one death. 3 we're going to different guilds and to stay together. Funny how it worked out.
Other guild members have come to see is off as well. Sting had gone back to Yukino, Frosh Was saying goodbye to lector and Anniston, dad was hugging all the children who were leaving, and so on. Other friends I knew also came to wish me luck. I smiled and thanked them, promising to never forget them and they come back soon. Eventually Uncle came to say goodbye.
"I see you got the necklace." He said as I hugged him.
"Yeah, dad–"
"Not your father. Me. I made the spell, I made the necklaces, and I gave them to your father. If he says otherwise, because he wants to sound better than me." I smiled.
"Yeah."
"You know I won't be able to visit you when you go to FT."
"Why not?"
"Bad reputation. Don't be too hard on them."
"I'll try."
"Don't worry. I'll send you a message when I'm at Saber. Then you can come visit."
"How?"
"A letter."
"Haha. Very funny. So old school." The train whistled and I heard the conductor yell that they were boarding. Uncle smiled
"That's your cue." As me and my siblings got onto the train we waved to our old guild mates. They waved back and kept waving until we were out of sight. Then I turned to Sting, who looked like he was ready to empty his stomach onto the floor.
"Seriously? Still?" He glared at me from the floor.
"S...sorr– y f–for...the i–incon...ven...ience..." He said trying to look annoyed but failed as his face turned green.
"Poor baby," I mocked. "Sucks for you." As I sat in one of the booths with Sting on the floor, Silver at my side and Max and Winter across from me, I fingered my necklace. Soon though I joined in the conversation where we excitedly talked about the guild that we are being sent to.
One by one, every few stops, my siblings departed from the train. Soon it was only Sting and I as we made our way to Magnolia. I couldn't help but wonder about my necklace. Why did it have two actions? Why did Sting and Rogue not see the second action? Why did it have the word 'summer' engraved on the back? Soon my attention turned to Fairy Tail. I didn't know much about it. I knew it was famous, I knew my cousin was part of it, and I knew they were supposed to protect me and my brother. But we didn't need protection. I mean come on. There are three dragon slayers in my family. What could I be afraid of? The train wheels squeal to a stop and while the exceeds pulled Sting off the train I grabbed our bags.
"Do we even know where Fairy Tail is?" I asked once Sting was recovered. He shrugged.
"Hey Rogue–" I turn only to realize that Rogue was back at home. We were... Separated. I felt an old tingling sensation in the back of my neck that I had long since forgotten.
"Why don't you just call him?" Sting asked. If you knew I was freaking out he didn't say anything.
"Oh. Right." I said tapping once on my necklace. It vibrated for a few minutes before Rogue's voice came through.
"Missed me already, sister?"
"Yes. How'd you know it was me?"
"The necklace glows according to who's calling."
"Oh. Well, Sting and I don't know how to get there."
"I ask dad."
A little while later thing and I stood in front of Fairy Tail's door. Even standing outside Sting and I could hear the ruckus inside. We shared a look before walking inside. Were created us with shocking. In the center of the guild was the biggest brawl I've ever seen in a guild. Sting and I stood at the entrance before shuffling against the wall trying to avoid any flying objects. I glanced at the 2nd floor and saw two sets of stairs on either side.
"The master must be up one of those stairs."
"Which one?"
"Let's try the one with the staler scent." I shrug as we made our way up the stairs. The stairs creaked as we made our way to the second floor. At the top there was an open area before the dim hallway. Walking down the hallway we came up on apon closed door. I knocked and heard a, "come in." Inside was a bright dusty room that wasn't completely organized but not disorganized either. Bookshelves lined the walls with books crammed into every possible space. Papers of different colors were stacked on the floor and scattered across the desk. An old man sat in a tall chair behind said desk.
"What can I do for you?" He said looking up.
"Mornin' Gramps." I greeted.
"Afternoon master." Sting greeted after.
"Same as ever I see. Your father said you were coming. Is Rogue with you?"
"No," I said sadly. "Dad didn't want him to come since he wouldn't be as camouflaged with his dark hair and red eyes.
"What about last time you were separated? I don't want the same thing happening here since no one but me will understand."
"Dad found a way around that," I answered.
"How?"
"He enchanted our necklaces so we can communicate.
"How well do you think that will work?
"We wouldn't know just yet. So far it seems to be working," Said Sting.
"I hope it works. I will not have an incident like that here."
"Yes master."
"Have you met your new guildmates yet?" We shook our heads
"Then let's go. I want you to meet your new guildmates."
Random Question, answer it if you can. (I think you can anyway) What is the word 'Summer' engraved on the back of her necklace and why does her necklace have an action that her brothers couldn't see? Also if you have something you really want in this story, don't be afraid to tell me. It can be in a review or PM. I don't care. Till next time.
