This story is going to be a little different. I don't know how it's going to go, but I hope some of you like it.
I do not own Fairy Tail, just this story.
The forest of Magnolia was as chipper as normal. Birds flew through the sky, singing their merry tunes. Squirrels leapt from branch to branch, dropping leaves and acorns as they went. Woodland critters scampered around the forest, not a care in the world.
A small rabbit fiddled with a flower carelessly. It paid no mind to any of the other creatures stirring around the area. There were no predators, so what did it have to worry about?
Suddenly, the rabbit's head snapped up. His ears flicked around and it's nose twitched. Something had entered the area. It wasn't a predator, it could tell that much. It was something, different.
The rabbit and the other creatures took cover in the bushes, hiding from whatever the intruder could be. Their little hearts sped up as a shadow creped against the forest floor. They heard light footsteps and the crunching of grass and leaves as the intruder approached. They all gazed at the individual as they walked passed them.
The stranger was a young woman. She stumbled slightly as she walked through the woods. It wasn't uncommon for humans to enter these parts of the woods, but this one was jus plain bizarre.
She wore a white dress that looked like half of it was splattered with black. She wore no shoes leaving her feet blistered and pink. Her hair was long and cascaded down her back. Her eyes were dull and void.
The animals watched curiously as she stumbled through the forest. Even they could tell something was wrong with her. Not just what they saw, but what she must have gone through. There was more to her than met the eye. The woman paid no mind to them. She just kept walking.
She had no idea where she was going. She couldn't even remember her name. Everything was a blur. Her mind was a mess. Even though she had no idea what she was doing, she felt compelled to continue walking. It was like an unknown force was guiding her.
Her stomach growled as she journeyed onward. Her feet and legs grew tired. She wanted to stop and rest, but she had to keep moving. She just wished she new why.
More time passed and the forest grew less dense. She could hear the sounds of a city as the trees began to disappear. Her legs were about to give out and she was hanging onto consciousness. She exited the forest, a large shadow covering her. She looked up at the object blocking the sun out of her eyes.
It looked like a castle. It was large and colorful. She could hear people celebrating inside and wondered what this place was. She felt like she should know, but she couldn't remember.
She approached the back of the building where a pool area was. She eyed the building in curiosity. What was this place?
The back door opened and she turned her gaze to it. Out stepped a young woman about her age. She had long, flowing white hair with her bangs tied up out of her face. She wore a long pink dress that made her look like a princess. The white haired beauty looked vaguely familiar but with all blurriness in her mind she couldn't pinpoint the face.
Her blue eyes were on the trashcan in her arms. She smiled carelessly as she strolled over to another trashcan away from the pool area. As she got closer, she raised her eyes until they came in contact with the girl's. The moment she saw her she dropped the trashcan. The woman called out to her, but she couldn't make out what she was saying. Everything around her was growing fuzzy and hard to focus on. Her body slowly gave out and she collapsed on the soft grass. The last thing she saw was the white haired woman running to her side.
FAIRY TAIL
It was dark. It seemed like it was always dark, whether she was awake or not. She felt something soft against her back and fluffy under her head. This was the most comfortable she had felt in a long time. This was also the clearest her brain had ever felt before. She could actually think for once.
Wha… where am I? I don't… remember. I don't understand.
Why does my head hurt so much?
Sudden surprise filled the girl. She wasn't exactly sure where the voice, or voices came from. It didn't make any sense to her. She recognized it but she didn't recognize it.
W-What was that?
What do you mean? Who are you?
Everything was silent, and it was maddening. Her mind was slowly putting pieces together, trying to remember what that voice was. It slowly came back together and if the girl was awake she would have gasped.
Natsu?!
Lucy?
Natsu, where are you?
Me? Where are you? I can't see anything.
Me either.
They slowly opened their eyes, regretting it when light blinded them. Uneasily, a hand was raised up to shield their eyes. They sat up looked around the room curiously. It appeared to be some sort of hospital room or infirmary. They were laying in a soft bed . Natsu began making strange noises, but Lucy still couldn't see him.
What's wrong Natsu?
My hand! There's something wrong with it!
What's wrong with it? Why can't I see you?
Geez Luce, and I thought you were the smart one. How can you not see my arm up in the air?
Lucy felt her arm shake unconsciously. She tried stopping the strange phenomenon but couldn't will herself to.
What is wrong with it, now I can't control it!
Why is my arm moving around! Said looking up at her arm. Her eyes widened when she saw her right hand. Her pink guild mark, her pride and joy, was gone.
Natsu! My guild mark is gone! Look at my hand!
Your hand? I hate to break it to you Luigi but that's my hand.
Lucy was about to retort when she re evaluated Natsu's statement. What did he mean "His hand"? It was clearly hers. Something weird was going on. Before Lucy knew what was happening, she felt herself being lifted off the bed she was previously laying on. She tried to keep herself down, but felt like she was fighting with another force.
What the heck is happening? Why can't I get up?
Why can't I stay down?
They looked around at the other beds in the room. All were empty and neatly covered with white sheets. Lucy lifted a brow.
Hey, Natsu.
Lucy? Where are you?
That's what I was about to say.
Natsu scratched the top of his head. Lucy felt her arm moving again and forced it back down. They were both about to exclaim how frustrating their bodies were acting when a thought struck them. They started heaving themselves from their spot, stumbling slightly as they tried. Lucy couldn't get her legs to work correctly and neither could Natsu. They gripped the rails of the extra beds, steadying themselves to the best of their ability. Why was it so hard for them to walk?
In the corner of the room they spotted a door. They lunged for the door and frantically threw the door open. Just like they thought, they found themselves in a bathroom. They quickly closed the door and locked it with shaking fingers, despite the incoordination.
They staggered over to the mirror on the far end of the bathroom. They gripped the edge of the sink and looked up into the reflective surface of the mirror. Their eyes widened like dishes and their jaws dropped.
Instead of a young pink haired man and a young blonde woman stood a single girl. She had long, pink hair that reached her lower back. Aside from long, neat hair, her bangs were wild and went in various directions. Her eyes were a dark brown, almost black. Her lower lip trembled.
N-Natsu? Came a voice inside the woman's head.
L-Lucy? Came the second.
The woman's head rung with the screams of Natsu Dragneel and Lucy Heartfilia.
This story is very different than anything I've ever seen or written. I hope it turns out okay. I hope everyone likes it. Spread the love! Review!
