Welcome to Fairy Tail!

8.10 - vanished

"Hey, it's already sun down," I stood up and glanced at the purple sunset. "It's time for us to go inside now."

I started to walk towards the guild until I heard Elle call my name. I turned back and saw something bad.

"WHAT's HAPPENING TO YOU?!" I ran to her and shouted so loud, few of our guildmates when to peek.

"I- I don't know!" she shoutd back. She was fading away. Her right arm and right leg have vanished already, the rest of her body parts are following.

"H-how is this happening?" I bent down on my knees and started to cry. "Don't tell me you're gonna get lost again like before!"

"C-Crytsal," she softly said. I lifted my chin up and saw her smiling while in tears. Our guildmates started to go out to see what's going on.

"DON'T JUST SMILE AT ME LIKE THAT! LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENING! THIS ISN'T THE TIME TO BE HAPPY!" I shouted and my all my tears started to fall.

"I think I know what's happening," her voice felt so warm. "My mission. My mission is complete."

My tears stopped falling and I stared into her eyes.

"M-mission?" I asked and she nodded.

"I finally got it," she started. "My mission here is to meet you and tell you about us in here. And after this, I'll go in the real world and finally continue my life there."

"B-but, how about me? What's my mission? What am I even doing here? Will be alone like forever again?" I asked her as my tears continued to fall again.

"I guess it's up to you to know what your real mission is," she replied as her tears fell down too. "But never say that you'll be alone. Look, you have your friends by your side."

I looked behind my back and saw Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Erza, Happy, Charles, Wendy, Mirajane, Elfman, Bickslow, Freed, Cana, everyone.

"E-Eleanor," I stated her name.

"It's already time," she said as she completely disappeared. "It was nice meeting you, Crystal."

Her last words stroke my heart. Her last words kept on repeating in my mind. She was right; I was never alone. Because I got her in my heart. And I got Fairy Tail- no, my family right next to me to help me, to make me happy, to support me, to protect me, to love me, and to feel me.

My dearest friend, Eleanor Harvey, it was nice meeting you too.
