AN: I have to give credit to LittlePrincessNana for the songs for every chapter idea(and the format in including said song in the story itself), go read Sound Pod on Shuffle a seriously good fic :D. Anyways, I don't own anything except the story plot and my OC Cassie Flurry(yes I know not very creative on the last name, sue me). I've had this story in my head for a bit and I wanted a water based dragon slayer but not a straight up water dragon slayer, so we get a snow dragon. For reference on how she gets extra power, snowicewater, actual snow will give more power than ice which will give more power than just water. You follow? Anyways, link to the story playlist will be put on my bio page for anyone interested. This story starts just before the Battle of Fairy Tail. Also, I am only really familiar with the anime, just fyi. Chapter one's song is Love the Way You Lie Part 2 by Rhianna ft. Eminem.

AN #2: Edited slightly to reword some stuff and include a bit more information in the first bit.

AN #3: Edited again, because...well I realized she wouldn't really be a "little" girl, so that one word has been revised but I figured it best to note it for you guys.

Prologue:

Cassandra "Cassie" Flurry was born in December, X763. She lived with her snow dragon mother, Tanith, learning snow dragon slayer magic until that day, July 7, X777, when she disappeared like all the other dragons of Fiore. Soon after, Laxus Dreyar found the girl scavenging for food on the streets of Magnolia and brought her to his grandfather, Makarov, who offered her some food and a place in the guild. The two youngsters were inseparable up until Laxus's father, Ivan, was expelled from the guild, afterwards Laxus seemed to forget Cassie existed, breaking the young girl's heart. After that, Cassie was rarely seen around the guild, many followed Laxus's example and forgot she existed, but never the master nor Natsu, he would never forget a fellow Dragon Slayer. Every day the master hoped he'd see the young girl's face again and most days he was disappointed, that was until Natsu, Happy and Lucy ran into her when they went on a mission to a rather snowy region. This is where our story truly begins.

Chapter 1: Love the Way You Lie

On the first page of our story/The future seemed so bright

Cassie walked through the snow on the mountain, she had her boots slung over her shoulder with her coat. She only wore them when she was in public, for some reason a woman bare foot in two feet of snow was disconcerting, who knew? Cassie giggled to herself as she wiggled her toes in the snow. She always loved the snow, it reminded her of Tanith and her time with Laxus...Nope, stop that right now, no thinking about him. It's been years, we're over it, no need to open up old wounds. Cassie shook her head, her long black ponytail flying with the movement.

As she moved her head, Cassie caught a familiar scent upwind of her. "Natsu," she whispered and took a deep breath. Three, two, one...at the end of her mental count down she heard the crunching of the snow as Natsu tackled her into the snow.
"Cassie!" the pink haired dragon slayer yelled as the rolled a few feet until he was sitting on her belly.
"Hi, Natsu," she said laughing. "Still a little screw ball, I see." Cassie pushed the younger boy off of herself and stood, looking over to his blonde companion. "You gonna introduce me to your girlfriend here, Natsu, or have your manners not improved at all?"
"She's not my girlfriend!" Natsu said. "Anyways, Cassandra Flurry, meet Lucy Heartfilia, Lucy this is Cassandra, or just Cassie."
"How do you two know each other?" Lucy said. Cassie sighed and pulled down the collar of her shirt, showing her yellow Fairy Tail emblem over her heart.
"I'm usually gone on long term S-class missions, so I don't come around the guild hall much," she said quietly. Lucy knew there was more to the story there and looked to Natsu, but he just shook his head and looked down at the snow. Cassie plastered a smile across her face, but Lucy could see the pain behind her ice blue eyes, but decided not to question her about it. "Anyways, what are you guys doing up here?" Cassie said and Natsu grinned.
"We just finished a job in the village and...well I knew you hung out it places like this. The guild needs you home more Cassie, master really misses you." Cassie sighed.
"Fine, I'll come home for a while." Natsu nodded and wrapped an arm around her shoulders and the other around Lucy.
"Let's go!"

But you'll always be my hero/Even though you've lost your mind

Upon arriving, Natsu threw the doors to the guild hall open. "Hey! Master Makarov, look who I found!" he yelled, dragging Cassie by the arm.
"Natsu, I can walk on my own you know," she grumbled, looking around at the older guild members and saw the recognition cross their faces. Master looked up from his place on the bar and tears welled in his eyes.
"Cassandra?" he whispered and Cassie smiled at him.
"Hey, gramps, long time," she said and hugged him. Gray stood, sans shirt.
"Hey, snow girl!" he yelled. She looked over at him as he made a cannon and shot at her. Lucy's eyes went wide. Cassie just grinned and caught the projectile easily and started eating.
"Thanks for the snack, ice brain." Gray grinned at her and with that the guild erupted into laughs and shouts. So, they didn't completely forget about me, she thought as she looked around. Cassie met Lucy's wide eyes and giggled. "I'm a snow dragon slayer, Luce." Lucy shook her head slightly and turned to talk to Mira about the upcoming Miss Fairy Tail contest.
"Cassie, you gonna enter?" Mira asked the snow dragon, who shrugged.
"I don't think so, I was never much into my looks." Cassie pointed to the faded scars over her right eye. "No one wants to look at these." Mira sighed, knowing not to press the issue. Lucy, however, looked closer at Cassie, noticing the scars that crisscrossed her eye and cheek bone for the first time.
"How did that happen?" the blonde asked. Cassie sighed and turned her full attention to the young girl.
"You don't want to know," she said and stood. "Hey gramps, my house still there on the edge of town?" The master nodded.
"We never touched it." Cassie nodded and headed out.

The young woman wasn't used to being around so many people at once anymore, she could remember when she couldn't be without all the noise. A lot of things have changed since then, she thought and headed to her old home. This place, obviously hasn't though. Cassie grinned and started sweeping away the dust that had built up in her absence. She worked methodically, barely looking at pictures that she put out of sight and soon she was in her bedroom. She took a deep breath and opened the door, she thought she'd be prepared for the rush of memories but she wasn't.

The sheets hadn't been changed since that night, the last night that Laxus had acknowledged her. The last time he had kissed her, she hadn't changed those sheets for fear of completely losing him and when she knew she had anyway she had left and never come back. She hadn't even packed any clothes.

So maybe I'm a masochist/I try to run but I don't wanna ever leave

Cassie felt the tears slowly slide down her cheeks as she slowly opened her jewelry box and she froze. The necklace was missing, the one she'd given the Laxus all those years ago. The one he'd thrown at her after his argument with gramps. The one that she'd put a snow lacrima in, so that she would be able to know where he was if she needed to find him. Cassie carried the box over to her bed and dumped it out, searching through everything. Who would have taken it? Gramps said they never touched this place. Cassie sighed and put everything back, well except for one thing. She stood in front of the mirror and put on the black cord necklace Laxus had given her, her fingers brushed over the lightning lacrima the rested at the hollow of her throat and sighed. I'm not over him. I don't think I'll ever be over him. She sighed and slipped off her clothes and pulled on the Laxus's old shirt and boxers. She slid into bed and snapped her fingers, letting out just enough raw magic power to shut off the lights. She fell asleep with tear slipping from her eyes in silence.

The next day, Cassie woke, showered and got dressed, pulling on a black tank top and a black button up over it, leaving it open and rolling the sleeves up to her elbows. She slid into a pair of black leather pants and put on a pair of black ankle boots. I'm honestly surprised I still fit into this stuff, she thought as she sat at her vanity and put on her make up. The make up wasn't anything fancy, just foundation, eyeliner and mascara. She braided her hair and slipped her plain silver rings on her fingers and stood. I'm going to make today a good day. She thought as she left her house and headed into the guild hall.

Upon arriving, she approached Mira and ordered a beer. The white haired woman smiled and served her old friend, noting the necklace she wore but saying nothing. Everything was going fine, Cassie nearly choked on her beer when Lucy started her little cheer. She coughed as she watched but then her blue eyes went from amused to pissed in a millisecond. Evergreen. Cassie began to growl as Ever turned the celestial wizard into a statue then revealed the other contestants to have been turned to statues as well. Then there was a flash of lightning and the lacrima at her throat grew warm. Laxus, you have better be here to take that bitch out. Cassie should have known better though.

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn/But that's all right because I like the way it hurts

Cassie went numb, hearing the way Laxus talked. She stood and made her way to towards the stage, everyone got out of her way as frost started to form around her hands. "Laxus," she growled at the projection. "You unimaginable BASTARD!" she screamed at him. His projection smirked at her, but she could see the fear in his eyes.
"So, the snow princess returns," he scoffed. "I'm surprised that you aren't a statue like all the others." He draped his arm over Lucy and Cassie felt the crack start in her heart. "And you're still wearing that stupid necklace I gave you." He smirked even as he unconsciously touched his chest and Cassie's eyes widened. He went to my house and got it. She met his eyes and she saw them melt a fraction before they hardened again. "Well, that thing isn't just useful as a tracker," he grinned as he flicked a finger and she felt electricity lock up all her muscles and everything went black.

...in the aftermath of the/Destructive path that we're on, two psychopaths but we/Know that no matter how many knives we put in each others backs/That we'll have each others backs, 'cause we're that lucky

Laxus stood in the cathedral and felt a chill to his core. He'd just hurt his former lover, the one he thought was never coming back. Because you were stupid. No, my father hurt her, I couldn't protect her and he hurt her and I couldn't face her after that. Laxus took a few deep breaths and touched the snow lacrima hidden beneath his shirt, the source of the chill that just wouldn't leave him. Part of him, the part that he didn't admit still existed, was still in love with that black haired dragon slayer, had never stopped loving her. That part had been so happy to see her in the guild hall again, but then he saw those scars on her face and he remembered why he had forced her away. He remembered why he had hurt them both so much.

'Cause with you I'm in my fuckin' mind, without you I'm out it

AN: Well there's chapter one. Don't worry, next chapter will clarify a lot of things, but first we must get through the Battle of Fairy Tail. Also, I will be following the store line for the most part until after the GMG but there will be obvious time skips and added bits because this is a LaxusXOC and dragon slayer centric fic so, yeah. Oh and I will make sure to put any trigger warnings and such at the beginning of chapters(should I feel they're necessary). And one last thing, I have a general idea of where this is going but not a specific plan, I'm on this ride just as much as you are, dear readers. Well that's enough from me.
