Fairy Tail forever! Right?

Chapter 12

Lucy's POV:

"hmmmm, New teacher! Hope she's better than Yatoe, though Yatoe said she would be scarier, huh I'll believe that when I see it" I yawn and open my eyes blearily. Sitting up I notice that all the books that I was going to borrow from that apparently non-existent library were sitting on my bedside table "Huh? How did they get there?" I wonder before seeing a piece of paper on top of one of the books, I pick it up but it's blank "Well that's weird" I sigh and put it dow- "Lucy Heartfilia, I remember you now, you are Jude and Layla Heartfilia's daughter, the Mongrel, these books are your's now, you won't be able to access the Library anymore because we have moved, the answer to your question about my name is this: I don't have a set name, you have been calling me The Library and so far you have been the closest person to getting who I am correct, in actual fact I am the library itself, but I am also your imagination, you imagined that library so I appeared for you. Enjoy the books

"Excuse me! Why do I have to be the Mongrel? At least I know now how the Old Lady appeared and disappeared, Thank you Old Lady!" I call out into the empty air before getting dressed into a long sleeved shirt and tights then I'm ready for the new day. I have a quick breakfast before realising that I will be late and rush to the stream I am supposed to be meeting my new teacher at. I spread out my wings and take flight, delighting in the feeling of the wind beneath me, I laugh out loud before spotting the stream and coming down to land in a perfect *Cough CoughHorribleCough cough* landing. "Ughh I need to work on my landing skills" I groan "Ha ha, yes you do!" roars a female voice and I look to where the voice is coming from, the owner of the voice steps out of the shade of some willow trees and grins down at me offering a hand to help me up, I accept thinking to myself, she isn't scary at all! When I'm up the woman says "My name is Elfled, you can call me Elf, I will be teaching you in Memory make for the next few weeks and believe me when I say weeks, Memory make is a hard Magic to learn unlike Aera which I heard you mastered in only two days, I'm impressed" and with that Elfled wanders casually into the stream giving me the chance to take in what she looks like, she is wearing black pants and a green top, she looks a bit like Erza because of her face features, I really hope she isn't as scary! but she has blue hair. "Today we will be doing a few easy exercises starting with meditation underneath the waterfall at the start of this stream..... well what are you waiting for? Get in" she orders and I stare at her WHAAAAAA....?????!!??? "okay" I reply and walk into the stream until it has reached up to my stomach, I draw in a little breath of shock because it is freaking cold! Elfled starts walking up towards the waterfall so I follow her reluctantly. There are a few rocks underneath the waterfall and Elfled makes us sit on them and start meditating, at first it is hard for me but I eventually get used to it and soon after that all my senses sharpen and I can hear, smell and feel the slightest thing, when I open my mouth I can faintly taste the forest around me. When lunch comes I am almost reluctant to leave and ask Elfled if we really have to go, she asks me why I don't want to leave and so I tell her about the state of mind that I had been in, she smiles slightly "good, that's the state of mind you will need for using the actual magic!"

Over the next few days we do the same exercise and slowly I find that my memory is sharpening and my senses are too. Then once a week had passed I went out like normal to meet Elfled at the stream but she wasn't there "Elfled, Elfled! Where are you?" I call out but there is no answer, maybe she's just late? But that can't be right, she usually gets here before me! I am now really confused so I decide to go to the stream and meditate as we usually would, breathing in and out as calmly as I can I soon relax and my mind becomes still. I can smell the wetness of the stones that are splashed with water, the earthy smell of dirt and trees and something else that should not belong, a kind of...I can't place it, I can feel the breeze gently gliding about the forest and I can clearly hear the wind gently stirring the leaves, the birds singing, rabbits and deers munching away at the grass, squirrels yattering on at each other and....silence to my left. "I know you are there Elfled, you can come out!" I call, not breaking my state of mind, there is no answer just as I expected "You are by the Oak tree to my left, up on the fourth branch, I can tell this by the smell of sap leaking from the bark that has been broken by you climbing up the tree and there is a heavy silence made by no animals daring to venture close to you" 

"Very good Lucy, Very good, your senses are much better than anyone I have ever met, including myself, the next exercise we will be doing is physical fighting, you need to be strong in both mind and body to use Memory Make and you will also need to learn to go into the state of mind that you are in now at will" lectures Elfled, climbing down from the branch she was sitting on, I groan when she mentions physical fighting but am very proud that I have very good senses. I open my eyes to find Elfled smiling down at me proudly, I smile up at her and when she offers me her hand I take it gladly, your next teacher will be much scarier and tougher than me says Yatoe's voice in my mind but I push it away with scorn, Elfled is really nice, she isn't as bad as Yatoe was at teaching me and she wouldn't hurt me...would she? I laugh to myself, don't be silly Lucy, of course she wouldn't!

Little did I know what was coming for me, the betrayals would hurt more and I would never be able to go back to how innocent I was back then.
