ESCAPE

CHAPTER ONE

♧♧♧

Astra stepped out of the portal, her eyes wide and her mouth agape. All around her was a world long since forgotten; having been tucked far back in the crevices of her mind.

" We're home..."

She spotted Wendy and raced for the dragon slayer wrapping her arms around the girl," We're really home Wendy!"

Wendy laughed, Astras' smile was contagious and the blue haired girl nodded; tears pooling in her eyes when she spoke," Let's go to the guild Astra."

It was just Wendy and Astra on their journey back," Where's everyone else?"

Wendy shrugged," Some got impatient and went on without you. Others took the dark mages, their going to the magic council to face punishment."

Astra nodded and wrapped an arm protectively around the blunette," Thanks for waiting."

Wendy laughed again," Anytime!"

What the two dragon slayers had failed to notice were the four heroes as they tumbled out of the portal. Shouto looked up, a world he was not familiar with appeared before him like a mirage of sorts.

Mina stood, dusting her skirt," Where are we?"

Momo looked around, holding her phone to the air," There's no signal."

Bokugo cracked his neck," Doesn't matter, they went that way!" He pointed at the team turned to see two people walking down a cobble path, worn from use. Astra and another girl they didn't recognise.

Shouto started walking. Mina hurried up to catch up with his long strides," Where do you think they're going?"

" Perhaps their base?"

" If we find their base then we find out who she's working with.."

Bokugo snorted," I don't care as long as I get to beat the shit outta someone."

Shouto sighed and levelled a hard look at Bokugo," Don't even think about starting a fight. We're not in Japan anymore. The limits to our authority are greatly restricted."

" You think I give a shit about-"

Shouto glared icyly at Bokugo," Don't touch anyone." No one responded to the icy remark and followed Shouto who walked with long determined strides.

Fairy tail guild was within Astras sight now and she bawlked," Is this Fairy Tail?!"

Wendy squinted," It must be."

Spluttering Astra point an accusing finger at the rundown Fairy Tail building," There must be some mistake, perhaps they just moved, relocated!"

Wendy sniffed," No, they're definitely in there."

" Bullshit."

The closer they drew however the more Astra could no longer deny that this run down sham of a guild was Fairy Tail, her home.

She opened the door and looked around only to find everyone clambered around in a corner. Erza was sitting on the table, her legs crossed," Astras not gonna like this."

Putting her hands on her hips Astra raised a brow and shouted," What am I not gonna like?"

Everyone rounded and stared at the dragon slayer. Natsu had been tied to a pole, fire practically spitting from his mouth. He shouted unintelligible words but Astra knew something was wrong.

Pointing towards Natsu she turned to her guild mates," Don't even think about tying me to a pole."

Lucy walked towards Astra her hands out stretched," Things changed while we were away Astra."
