Fairy Tail Fanfic: Juniper's Past

In The Tower Above

Alright! I'm super excited for this chapter! Stuff's gonna happen and it's gonna be AWESOME! *once again battle cries throughout house then opens door and scares little kids outside with maniacal laugh* I'm not crazy, I promise.

ALSO!! I'm going to start writing a new fanfic based on D. Gray Man. I hope you guys know what that anime is..

Please check it out! It's gonna be titled...umm...I'm actually not sure yet *awkwardly laughs* I'll figure it out later..

Disclaimer: Oookay..so Fairy Tail still isn't mine..I would probably mess up the whole anime anyway, making all of the ships become canons.

MAJOR SPOILERS ALERT!! If you haven't gotten to the Tower of Heaven arc, I suggest you go watch/read it before reading this.

WHOSE READY FOR SOME CHAPTERS?! *hopefully loud audience cheers* I'm in a good mood right now, so I'm taking it out on my author note thing.

Here we gooooooooooo!!

Juniper's POV

Of course he got motion sickness.

As we rode across the waves, Natsu layed on the ground, grabbing his stomach in pain. He kept groaning and complaining and groaning and complaining.

"Ugh, we heard you the first time!" Gray kicked Natsu in the head.

Soon after, they got into another fight. Happy tried to stop them, but it was no use. God, they can be such idiots. Don't they realize the situation that we're in?

I sighed as I sat down on the surprisingly comfortable water bubble that Juvia made. She looked very serious as she concentrated on keeping us afloat.

"Juvia," I called to her.

Her pale face turned toward me.

"Will you be able to keep going like this?"

She nodded her head with confidence, "Of course. Juvia is strong. Juvia will be able to do anything if it's for Gray-sama."

There she goes again.

Without warning, faint piano playing was heard off in the distance, the same from before. I immediately stood up and gazed at the broad ocean. Natsu noticed me and ceased the fight with Gray.

"What's up, Turnip?"

I ignored him and continued searching for the source. The tune seemed very familiar. It was beautiful and sad and made me want to cry. Somehow, I knew there was a special meaning behind the piece. And it was related to me.

"Hey, Juniper? What's got your attention?" Gray asked.

"Can't you hear it?" I whispered.

"What?"

"The piano. It's coming from out there," I pointed to the sea.

Gray exchanged a strange look with Natsu.

"Um, what are you talking about?"

Natsu titled his head.

I stared out into the ocean. Where is it coming from? Was it connected to my past somehow? The piano grew louder and louder as we sailed across the restless waves.

I think...

I think he's...

"Juniper! Look!" Happy called out to me, breaking my train if thought.

My gaze slowly drifted towards the area he was pointing at. Standing tall in the middle of the ocean, was an irregularly shaped tower. It had abnormal twists and turns like vines moving around a trellis. The base was spread out like the roots of a tree and the top opened up like a creepy, dark flower.
