Tori's P.O.V
I looked at myself in the mirror, at my usual jeans and blue hoodie, I needed a new style. So, me and Vicky went out shopping, she needed some new clothes to. We had to hurry because the grand magic games started today in about an hour, so looking through the racks of clothes in the nearest shop, something caught my eye. It was a bark blue long sleeved dress with a corset around the waist, white ruffles underneath and white string threading the corset. It could work, it just need a few more things.
Looking around a bit more, I found white leggings, dark blue shin high combat boots with white threads, and a white cloak that was dark blue inside. Perfect! Yes!!! I'm goin RWBY style!
Vicky settled on a black, off the shoulder, elbow long sleeved shirt with white torn up jeans, black boots, and a black choker around her neck.
We paid for the outfits then rushed to the inn and got changed, I cut off the sleeves of the dress cause it was so hot, before rushing as fast as we could to the games. Vicky sat up with Fairy Tail and I ran towards the team's balcony, Maria notices me, "Tori! You're here! Nice outfit!"
"Thanks! What'd I miss?"
"They want you and me to perform a song each day of the games!"
"Really?! Awesome!! Lets go!"
We both jumped from the balcony, landing gracefully, we ran to the. Enter of the ring where a few instruments were set up and some boys were ready to play. We talked to them a bit and told them what song and we looked over it once before Maria and I took our places at the microphone.
"Heelllooooo Fiore!!!" I say.
The crowd suddenly starts booing me, "alright!! Well, before we start the games, Tori and I are gonna sing a song! How's that sound?" Maria speaks.
The crowds were going wild in dissatisfaction, the music starts to play.
Me~ everything that kills me~ makes me feel alive
Maria~ I see this life like a swinging vine,
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs,
Seek it out and ye shall find.
Me~Old but I'm not that old
Young but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
Maria~I feel something so right I'm doing the wrong thing
Me~And I feel something so wrong, we're doing the right thing
I could lie couldn't I, couldn't I?
Both~Every thing that kills me makes me feel alive.
Maria~Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Me~But, baby I been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars
Both~Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars
The crowd stops booing for a moment a few cheers were heard, bringing a smile to my face.
~after the performance~
"Yes!! We rocked it!" I yelled.
"Hell ya we did!!!" Maria also yells,"now let's get ready to kick some ass!!"
We both rushed to where our team was, "Awesome performance out there girls!" Lauxus says giving us a thumbs up.
I give him a big smile, "Arigato Lauxus-San!"
The pumpkin heads voice could be heard over the entire stadium, "Now! Due to yesterday's 'incident'." I slightly flinch, knowing he was talking about me and Vicky, "we have rearranged all the battles for today! Our guilds are! Sabertooth! Blue Pegasus! Fairy tail! Mermaid heel! Quatro puppy! Bla- what's this?! A dark guild?! Black rose!!"
"Who?" I question.
"Why is there a dark guild participating?!" Maria yells.
"I don't know."
"And finally! Fairy Tail team B?!" that was our cue.
We walk out and I was suddenly pelted with tomatoes, eggs, mugs of booze, and who knows what else.
"Murderer!!"
"You shouldn't be here!"
"Go to hell!!"
"You deserve to die!"
"You monster!"
"My family is dead because of you!"
Tears formed in my eyes as I just stood there and took the pain, I deserved it, after what I did.... They hate me for being a Grim....
Lightning was suddenly all around me, everyone stopped throwing things at me, I look up as the tears in my two colored eyes threatened to fall. Lauxus stood in front of me glaring at everyone in the crowd, "JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!! WHAT SHE DID IS IN THE PAST!! IT WAS ALL OVER 7 YEARS AGO!! AND SHE'S GONNA BE IN THE GAMES WHETHER YOU ALL LIKE IT OR NOT!!!" he yells.
"THATS RIGHT! SHE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO BE HERE!!!" Maria yells beside him, "AND IF YOU GUYS STILL DONT LIKE HER AFTER YOUVE ALREADY SEEN WHAT SHE DID, SHE SAVED ROGUE AND EVERYONE HERE, THEN I SAY SCREW YOU ALL!!!"
"A-Arigato..." I stutter.
All the teams went back to their balconies, and waited for the names of the battles to be called out. Vicky helped me get cleaned up, giving me sorrowful eyes, "I'm fine." I say, tears still visible in the corners of my eyes.
"Whatever you say sis. Come on, you better get to the others, they're having you fight someone else today." she says.
"First battle!! We have Tori of Fairy Tail B VS. Vladimir of Black Rose!" the announcer shouts overhead.
My breath catches in my throat, my eyes widened in fear and I started to shake, "No... It can't be.... Him.. Right?"
I look to Vicky, her eyes were wide as saucers, she was visibly shaking, "It can't be, nit yet at least... Its probably just a different Vladimir... We're being paranoid." she says.
I take a deep breath and calm myself, she was probably right.
I stood up, quickly putting my hair into a pony tail, then headed out to the arena where a cloaked in black figure stood.
3rd persons P.O.V
Keysha and Vicky stood with Fairy Tail Team B, watching as Tori and 'Vladimir' stood center in the arena, Lauxus was sniffing the air strangely, "Somethin doesn't smell right." he says.
"When's the last time you took a shower?" Maria asks.
"Not like that!" he replies with a tick mark on his head, "I mean that Vladimir guy, his smell is extremely similar to Tori's and Vicky's."
Keysha sniffs the air as well, focusing on mainly the cloaked man in the arena, her ears twitched in concentration as she starred at the man, "You're right," she says, "But I smell something else to.. And it smells like a wolf."
"Vicky, You don't know that guy do you?" Maria turns to look at the twin But she wasn't even paying attention.
Vicky was starring in fear at the man, shaking, she put her hands over her mouth in utter shock. For her, there was no mistaking the smell of the man, it was indeed him....
