The New Girl (Fairy Tail fanfic):
Chapter 5: Bad Blood

Elaine's POV—

"Do you think she'll ever wake up? It's been a couple of hours already."

The voices were faint as I laid in a bed. It felt familiar, stiff yet warm, like one of the infirmary beds. But I couldn't move, paralyzed from exhaustion I didn't know the cause of. All I could do was listen to the voices around me.

"You have to give her some time, Master. Wendy's spell must have also drained the poor girl."

"It seems to be a necklace with a black lacrima."

"I think I saw it in one of the visions Carla and Wendy showed us."

The world was still too hazy but I recognized those two voices. Levy and Makarov.

"I hope Team Natsu is okay. We haven't heard back from them yet since they left for the Vitalhive Estate."

"Sometimes I wonder if those kids could have just--Look! She moved!"

I felt drawn to something like it was dangling above me. I struggled to pump some drop of adrenaline or strength to escape this weakness, that pull making me think about running again.

"Elaine? Elaine are you feeling alright?"

This sudden instinct intensifies the closer the person was near me. With all my might, my hand grasps forward and I clenched the necklace they spoke of. The moment I touched it a rush took over me like a pulse.

I......remembered. I remembered everything.

My parents. They made me forget.....so no one would find out, just until it was safe for me to come back. They always wanted to keep me safe, until the time was right. They always told me that. That's why they made sure I was.......
