Do You Remember That Little Girl

The Lonely Valley

Wendy's POV
Today was the same, same old endless lonely valley, same feeling of emptiness it gave me.
*Flash back Five years ago*
"Hey Carla I'm going to the Guild are you coming?!" I yelled over to Carla who simply shook her head in response, I sighed and left my dorm in Fairy Hills.
Today is my birthday I hope that my guild mates remember, Carla certainly did, but that's different we've been together much longer and that's what makes us best friends, I don't know what I would do without her!
On my way to the guild I was thinking about stopping by at the park to see if I can make any new friends since I don't know barley anyone my age. So I figured why not?

As I walked through the park a saw something rustling through the branches, so I went to go check it out but when I did, " Ah Snake!" I screamed and ran away into the nearby woods where I heard a whooshing sound so with without thinking I walked closer only to realize that is was some sort of vortex.
It was sucking nearby branches, rocks and even bushes in through it, when suddenly I felt something picking me up, it was taking me with it!
I woke up in some sort of valley, it was beautiful but quiet, it was filled with things but empty, it was bright but dark.
After a while of looking around to figure out where that vortex could've taken me.
I sniffed around but the air smelled bland, I listened closely but all I could hear was my breath.
After awhile I started freaking out, running in one direction to see where I would end up, it would eventually lead somewhere.
Right?
It couldn't go on forever.
Could it?
Two days had passed I was still running in that same direction, if I didn't get water soon I will die.
Luckily I came across a little pond, I knelt down to get some of the water in my hands, but what I saw next terrified me more so than I had been since Grandeeney left me.
I saw flashes of my guild mates crying especially Carla, and then I saw my self in the valley I still looked the same but I felt....broken and...alone when I saw that image of me.
I got so caught up in that image I saw in the pond that I fell into the water without thinking.
The pond was only a bit taller than me so it was pretty easy to get out, but once I got out I burst into tears since of course I was The Weak Wendy Marvell.
I hadn't given up hope just then, but I should've, I wasn't crying because I lost hope, but because I felt lonely in that empty valley, I felt....sad.
*Flashback ends*
The years carried on of course I was lonely, I always felt empty, I also gained a habit of talking to myself and I used the quality time I had to practice my Sky Magic.
All I had over those tears was the water from that pond and feasted in the air.
Every night I had the same nightmare of what I saw in the pond, but that only made me feel more empty.
Of course I have changed in kinda mean, impatient and of course much stronger.
But let's get back to now shall we?
I did my daily routine I ate the air, I sipped some water and I stared out at the sky for hours, no training today!
I was coughs up staring at the I almost didn't notice the whirring sound coming from the pond.
That sound.....it sounded so familiar but where have I heard it?
So as quickly as I could, I jumped up and ran over to it.
My eyes filled with tears as a recognized the looks, sound and effect of what was in that pond...It's the vortex!
Should I go in?
If there's a chance if me getting out of here then yeah.
So I took one last glance at the valley
" I will never miss this place" I whispered to myself, and with that farewell I closed my eyes and jumped through.
I opened took in a deep breath and...My nose was filled with so many different smells!
Ones I thought I would never smell again.
I opened my eyes and looked around, I see trees and animals! Not just an empty valley.
It didn't take me long to realize I was in the woods where I was taken through the vortex in the first place.
So without further question, I ran and saw so many things I hadn't seen in forever! It filled me with so much wonder.
I didn't even mind that my cloths were so small on me, hey Lucy where's worse clothes right?
Lucy....Fairy Tail!
I need to go there!
I ran through Magnolia and there it stood the Fairy Tail guild!
I stepped through the path leading into the guild but stopped cold at my tracks when I saw a certain stone with a certain carving one it.
