Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail. The only thing I own is the plot.
AN: I'm back from the dead. I can't believe I got a hundred reviews for "A Dragon's Beloved One". I decided to write a short fic. It's a random idea, not as polished so I do hope you'll enjoy it.
Summary: Set in AU. She had the devil's luck. Everyone envied it, wished it. But not her. It was a kind of luck that drove people into madness. To her it was a curse. So when she met him, he showed her the dreams she had long abandoned. So she turned him away. But he won't let her. He will show her otherwise. She was really lucky. Nalu.

"Take a seat."
"I'd rather stand. Plus, I just want to get down to business so I can be on my merry way. Give me my pay so I can leave."
"No need to be in a hurry. We'd love for you to stay. Isn't that right, boys?" Murmurs of agreement were heard all over the room.
"I have a place to be and that's not here." she declined, already aware of the direction of conversation.
Of course, when they see a lucky charm, dangling in front of them, they wouldn't let it out of their sight. That was how he got to be in his current state of life.
"Another night." He bargained.
"Our deal's one night. I don't do extras."
"I'll play you extra."
Maybe she could use some money. Extra pocket money. Kids like her always wanted that.
"Name your price." Bingo.
"I'll give you thrice the winnings." he could hear the gasps, the mumbles, and the protests from his men.
"Isn't that too much for a gamble?" The girl couldn't help but ask.
"Miss Hearfillia, I'm a gambler in nature. I like raising the stakes up especially when I have a lucky charm on my hand."
"I may not be the lucky charm you are looking for. I'm actually lousy at games. I don't even know the rules."
"But you win even with your lousy playing skills."
"Of course I do." That, the girl answers in absolute confidence.
The man who sat in behind the table guffawed as he thumped his fist on the table.
"What an interesting little girl you are."
"Not the first time I heard that." He snapped his fingers. Automatically, a man to his left handed the girl a key.
Seeing the girl's questioning look he answered. "For your lodgings. He-" he pointed the man who handed the key. "will take you to where you will be staying tonight. I'll have someone fetch you when its time."
"How do you know I won't refuse?" The girl raises one brow but nonetheless accepted the key.
"You're not getting cold feet, are you?" He retorts with another question.
"Of course not! Lady luck's my nickname. I want my employer to be aware of the kind of luck he is about to invest himself into."
"What an odd query. That sounds like a warning."
"Heed it. You'll need it. If you push luck, it burns you ten times fold." She said with the same charming smile she used earlier to get men to agree to what she was saying. Then without another word, she leaves the room the same way she entered.
Once the footsteps faded away, the man's righthand man couldn't help but ask. "Are you sure about this?"
"Oh I'm sure. The way she played tonight, it was magic. I need that girl with us. A luck like that just passes once in a blue moon. You saw how tha girl played, didn't you?"
"She wasn't anything special but once she was about to lose, everything went to her direction of winning. But I couldn't help but ask, why one night? You want her to stay for more than that, don't you?"
"It was set that way so she can agree to our terms." He saw realization click into the guy. Yes. Luck was on his side. He heard the rumors. A rumor about a girl who had the devil's luck. He researched her background and saw the kind of luck she had. As a player, he had to see what kind of piece she would be, how she played her game. So he had searched her out to see how she worked her luck. To his amazement, then the girl literarily landed into him for a one-night work. Now that he saw it, he would not be letting her go.
She was tough. Appeared tough but despite everything that happened, a fact remains that she was but a girl without power and he had more.

AN: I know. I have three pending stories and here I'm starting another one. Good news! I'm alive. I also am half done with chapter four for " To be Ordinary" . No promises for "Twist in time". A story like that needs my full attention. I'll be writing it. Soon. For this fic, it will be really short. Maybe written in 3-5 chapters. The next chapters will be longer. Expect that. I have a vague concept for the story. Of course you know who's the girl they're talking about. I'm debating if there will be magic involved at all. I'm leaning into the possibility of none. Don't worry about any characters being OOC. I'll try to keep them in character to the best I could. I'm not confident in that kind of thing. I'll have the next part posted in three days or two if possible. The story is as long/short as my oneshot. I'm trying to keep it short. That'll be it for now. Review or PM me and tell me your thoughts.
Still writing
