Action/Video - Fayren [Halloween's Terror]

[Video]

Stay away!

[Levy's running from her store when her nightmare catches up with her. Her feet trip over themselves sending her crashing towards the cold ground. Her phone drops from her hand, her attempts to call for help useless and yet the video feed begins to play. Those watching see the blue haired girl with stains on her cheeks and dirt covering her dress, there is fear in her gaze as she turns back to look at who’s chasing her.

A low chuckle can be heard but before the man chasing her comes into view the feed ends.]

[Cont: Action]

You forgot? Let me remind you.

[The words are thick and heavy, a cruel note to his tone as he slowly steps closer. Levy shakes her head, her heart aching knowing that she forgot her friend. It doesn't matter if they weren't close. He had told her to be strong, to keep fighting and yet she let the memory slip away thinking of some greater good.

Is it even worth it?]

I didn't mean to.

[Except she did, there is no undoing it. Tears freely begin to streak down her face as the Redfox steps closer. Each moment only adding to the fear and pain she held in her heart, knowing what she’s done; Levy doesn't even try to escape.]

[Belle figured it might not be a problem for long as she gripped her friends arms, lightly pushing her slowly but steadily.]

But you are still friends even if you don't remember that first meeting. It's... not always the memories that are important it's just the feelings you have that matter.

[Memories and such were nice and all but those feeling of love and care were something more.]

You still care, that should be what matters. [Just as she spoke she could just hear that voice. That voice and that man Belle loved most in the world, that her fear had chosen power over everything.]

Hello dearie.

[Belle was just going to keep her eyes focused on her friend.]

Belle?

[It's hard for Levy to believe. He'd never forgive her, Lucy doesn't forgive her and she doesn't even forgive herself. It's to hard to believe.

She shakes her head only noticing the new voice after Belle spoke. It sends a shiver down her spine and unlike Belle she looks towards its source.]

Who?

Yes. Just keep looking at me while I speak, okay. Do not focus on the man behind me.

[She could hear the laugh behind her as she closed her eyes for a moment. She knew it wasn't him. She kept telling herself that. It wasn't him. It wasn't him. Just as she opened her eyes again, a man was already standing right next to them.]

Dearie, I'm pretty sure that you should be... cleaning or something. I have people to kill and deals to strike.

[Belle shook her head slightly. This version was just going back to his old ways, like before she ever made an appearance. But never the less she was focused on Levy.]

Levy, it might seem odd, but when I spoke about memories I forgot to say this. But even if you lose old memories you always can make new ones.

[Levy swallows trying to keep her eyes on Belle. The world around them seems to be falling into some turmoil and the young mage can't make heads or tails of it. She nods her head making sure she doesn't look at the man next to them.]

I know that but he won't forgive me.

[Her voice shakes while she keeps her focus on Belle.]

Lu-chan... Lucy... doesn't forgive me either.

[They'll all leave.]

I guess we'll try this another way. Why did you forget in the first place?

,small>[As she said that her eyes looked over to one man, then the other. If they so much as spoke she was going to have very stern words, but the Rumple illusion was simply watching the other very carefully and Belle couldn't quite figure out why just yet.]

[Levy isn't even looking at Gajeel anymore and while listening to Belle's words his actions seem to have stopped. He's still there, looming as if his presence is worse than merely ending Levy right there.

She swallows the lump in her throat. Her gaze blinking back tears as she spoke.]

To heal the rift in the sky. It was the only way to save everyone. I had to give something up... I couldn't give up my magic so I gave up my memories.

[Her magic is who she is, a member of Fairy Tail and yet what she gave up feels like something so much worse.]

[She knew she had been trying to be reassuring, but... with what she learnt in her life and with the one she cared about... She was just reminded of him. A frown slowly passed by her features.]

I... guess you did it for noble reasons, but saying you would rather keep magic than friends or loved one... Does not put you in the best of light. I mean I know you can be a good person, but yet at the same time...You remind me of him.

[She gestures towards Rumple who just gives off such a creepy laugh.]

[Levy looks over at Rumple and her expression darkness. She doesn't want to be like him and knowing that she's given up the memory only tears a deeper scar into her heart.

It hurt.

Fresh tears fell down her face and instead of Gajeel there is herself standing just behind Belle, speaking as if to give light to Levy's fears.]

She's right. Your friends will hate us, leave us and we'll be alone. All because you made a choice.

[Levy's eyes clamp shut and she begins to sob as the toxic voice speaks into her ear.]

You'll leave them Levy. How could you?

[The imagine seems to change between all the members of Fairy Tail and even her friends here. Each person echoing the same words.]

How could you?

[Belle figured what she said might have not been the best thing, but she was hoping it would get to a point eventually. At least that is what she hoped.]

But... Like Rumple... I can see goodness in you. I know and would like to believe in that.

[Just like she believes in him. At that thought she couldn't see if he was there or not, but she got the feeling at least her fear might have gone for the moment.]

It's a lie. Your selfish.

[Each comforting word spoken by bell is met with contradiction. Levy's shadow continued to tell her of her fears. She doesn't fear being weak, her magic isn't very strong compared to the others in Fairy Tail but she wants to stay with her friends, her family.

She doesn't want to be alone.

As the thought settles in her heart the shadow of herself vanishes and so does Belle.]

It's not a lie. I mean... people can be really selfish from time to time, but in the end... I guess I'm just hopeful that if push comes to shove she'll do what is right.

[She didn't care if she might contradict herself, it's what she believed in.]

And because of that no matter what I'll always be her friend and remind her if she ever needs it.

[Levy looks up at Belle, hearing the girls words even though she lost sight of her friend. She slowly wipes away her tears, her fingers shaking as she sought to find the source of such inspiring words.]

You'd still be my friend?

[It's a whisper, the softest sound reaching Belle's ears.]

You believe in me?

Of course.

[She would be a bad friend if she believed in one person and not the other, she was comfortable in speaking the truth at least.]

I have faith in you.

[Levy reaches forward, passing her fears all while fresh tears spilled from her eyes. Her arms wrap around Belle and the illusion vanishes. She's able to see her friend again and for now the echoing voice of her shadow and friends are gone.]

Thank you.

[Her voice is soft and even though she feels weak she knows that she an be strong.]

[She wrapped her arms around the other, holding her close. She will stand there, holding her for as long as the other want.]

I just said what was the truth. That's all.

[Levy nods feeling her heart lift and the world expand as if given new life. She doesn’t have all the answers and a small part of her is still afraid but she feels as if she can face it now, all because her friend is there for her. She sniffs and then pulls away slightly.]

It’s still what I needed to hear.

[Her voice is a little stronger as her fears slowly melted away.]

[She let go, nodding slightly. Sometimes actions may not be needed, words do. She figured she should know that for next time see how far words can get her.]

Well i'm glad it's what you needed, but I think now would be best if we leave Fayren, don't you think?

[Levy nods and then slowly begins to walk towards the Archway. She keeps her hand in Belle's trying to keep her friend close should her nightmares return.]
