Okay, so um… hi. Thanks for all of the pleasurable and kind reviews for my one-shot, "becoming his girlfriend wasn't so bad." All of the reviews made me smile like crazy and I really do appreciate it. But I decided to create a story….I wanted to see it will be a great story for Fairy Tail. Usually, I write my stories in third person but now I'm starting new; I'll write my story in first person. The first person would be Lucy of course and um… i have nothing else to say but please tell me what you think and favorite/follow. I'm trying to set a goal for myself and it is have 100 reviews on this story and have at least 100 favorites. So yeah, I'm going to need a little help for that goal to be fulfilled. So please wish me good luck.

Thanks a lot. Much appreciated and please leave me a review and a favorite/alert.

Still: Chapter One, Part One

Fairy Tail's Salamander

All I could see is him grinning like a madman. His smile crept upon his face leaving me shudder in fear. I saw him, glaring at me and yet trying to touch me in a disgusting way. I wanted to slap him; I wanted to scream and yell. All I could see is my mother, narrowing her eyes at the man and pushing me towards her. She grabbed my arm and held me tight, letting me taking in the scent of her shampoo. Her hair was put into a fine cunning bun and I saw my mother pressed her lips together.

The man laughed, bemused at my mother trying to be a hero. He bit his lower lip before his tongue darted out from his mouth and licked his lips. "You can't save her and yourself Layla."

I heard my mother snickered before she hardens her glare and pressed me closer together. She fingered with my blonde hair and strokes it softly. She whispered in my ear, soothing me, telling everything is going to be fine. I wanted to believe her; I wanted to believe that everything is going to be alright. I wanted to hold her tightly and burst into tears; I wanted the sunshine to brim brilliantly that would make my eyes burn. But nothing was going to be alright.

My mother and I are surrounded by darkness. We were eaten by the dark villain and lunatic, roaming over us and trying to kill us. We were surrounded by darkness and I am only eight years old. I don't want to die, not here, not anywhere.

My mother glared, shooting daggers at the man. "You won't get away of this."

Blatant laughter escaped his red lips and he fingered with his neck tie. His eyes narrowing at my mother and hands fiddling with the gun. "Oh my precious, lovely, beautiful, Layla. I think I already have."

I spun around and with a horrified look, I screamed. He was holding the gun in between his fingertips, fingers urging him to pull the trigger. I glanced at my mother who was biting her lower lip, trying to formulate a plan. Then the next thing I see was the gun pointing straight at my mother.

I wanted to yell to my mother; I wanted her to get away, but all I could do is just closed my mouth with the palm of my hands. My mother grabbed my arm, pulling me roughly behind her. She hummed a song, a soothing song and she turned around to face me. Her brown eyes brimming with tears.

She knew she was going to die while protecting me. And I couldn't do anything about it.

"Momma," I whispered. My mother smiled softly, inhaling a breath before she pivoted her body around to face the man.

"Promise me one thing," my mother says with a bitter smile, "don't you darekill my daughter."

As I heard the word kill, right then and there, I wanted to scream at the top my lungs and call the cops or something. I will do anything but not let my mother get killed; she was my mother and we still need to finish our adventures together.

The man grinned. "I promise Layla; you're such a good mother. I really, truly am in love with you Layla."

Boom

Everything happened so quickly and all I see is the man pulling the trigger; my mother landed on the floor with a thud, and blood spilling out of her. Tears were in my eyes and the palm of my hand was on my mouth. I knew my lungs were gasping for air because I was suffocated in this darkness.

"Momma!" I yelled. A numerous of tears came out of my brown watery eyes and I touched my mother's blood. It was beautiful; an amount of on the floor was moving on to my feet. I sat on the hard ground, blood on my hands, touching my mother and screaming her name.

The man laughed. "Crying for your mother Lucy. Too bad she can't hear since I killed her. Don't worry, you see your mother in the afterlife."

The man once again held up his gun before aiming it straight at me. I need to run, but where? Where could I run too? My mother was the only one here for me.

And then it hit me.

Where could I go without my mother? She's dead and the beautiful red stains are coming out of her stomach, her mouth was smeared with red. Her eyes were closed but you could still see the little tears in her eyes. My mother was a beautiful woman and now she's gone.

I screamed.

Next thing I know, everything went black.

Still

I awoke with a start, sweat beaming from my forehead. My eyes were burning with tears and lips were bubbled with saliva. I wiped my mouth with the sleeve of my sweater and tried to calm down my beating heart.

"That dream again," I whispered. I glanced around, my brown eyes skimming my room. "Good. No one's in here."

I smelled my sweater before scrunching up my nose in disgust. I need to take this off; I shrugged out of my sweater, trying to bear with the scent. I sighed and I glanced at my basket of dirty clothes. I shrugged my shoulders before balding up my sweater, aiming for that basket.

"...and go!" I yelled as I threw my sweater. I pouted as I missed my goal and my sweater roughly landed on the ground. "Well I tried."

I stood up from my bed and grabbed my towel. But before I could attend the restroom, I grabbed my sweater off the floor and put it into the basket. I walked towards the bathroom, shutting the bathroom door and locking it. I laid my towel on the toilet cover thing ( I really don't know what's it called) and take out my red toothbrush.

I pressed my toothpaste on the brushes of the toothbrush before brushing my teeth. As I brushed my teeth, I glanced at the calendar set next to the mirror in my bathroom. I walked towards the calendar and touched my finger on the today's date.

November 15

I smiled; today was the day of my mother's birthday. I could still see her smiling gleefully and barging into my room, yelling it was her birthday. I was only five back then and eight years old the day when she died.

I refrain from having those thoughts, so I shook my head. My mother wouldn't like me to be upset about her death, she wouldn't.

But today was also the day I joined some awesome gang called: Fairy Tail.

Fairy Tail was the best and frightening gang in Magnolia. It was said to be the harshest, cruel gang there is, but I don't believe in that. After all, Fairy Tail did rescued a little from falling of a cliff or other things as well.

Also, my mother says that becoming a fairy is a very beautiful thing ever. I wanted to do this for her. She always wanted me to become a fairy.

I smiled before washing my toothbrush and my mouth. I rinse my mouth with water before taking my mouthwash. I spit out my mouthwash and smiled brightly at the mirror, showing off my white teeth.

"Ah minty," I said before taking off my clothes to take a quick shower.

Still

I walked into the bookstore, scanning the books I should read. I grabbed the book, Crimson Crown, and smiled as I finally can read the last installment towards the series. I went to go pay for my book, but a man walked over towards me. His harden eyes staring intensely into my brown eyes. I gulped.

"Hey little lady, why don't I help you walk over back to your place," The man said before he grinned coyly. I could already see his eyes darken with lust once he stared at my chest. I narrowed my eyes and gritted my teeth. Disgusting.

I brushed pass the man and he grabbed my arm swiftly. I stared at him, eyes glaring at him, and lips pressed together in irritation. "Let go!"

The man gripped my arm; I screamed silently in pain. He was hurting me and I could already think this was going to leave a mark.

"No can do miss," He said as he put his mouth near my ear. He hissed dangerously and he reeked with danger. "I'm taking you home with me."

I wanted to punch him but he gripped me so tight that I screamed in agony. He laughed. "You are so weak yet so adorable. I really do like you."

My eyes were burning with tears and I silently begged someone to come and help me. Anyone, please help me.

Then my eyes went wide as I saw the window shattered. A person jumped into the bookstore, eyes narrowing at me. His eyes ranked over my body, chin, mouth and eyes. I felt warmth coming onto my cheeks. His eyes landed on the guy who held me, gaping like a fish.

The boy glanced at me. "What are you doing? Kick him where the sun doesn't shine."

I nodded before I kicked the man in his part that injured him the most. The man yelled and his gripped loosened on me. I smiled before walking towards the male who made the suggestion.

"Thank you," I said as I raised an eyebrow at him. The male grinned before shrugging his shoulders. "No biggie."

"You little runt," The other male said. He stood up from the ground and pulled out a knife. "I'm going to hurt you so bad."

The boy stood in front of me, lips pursed in aggravation. "This is the reason why I don't want to listen to Erza's orders."

The boy lit up a flame at the top of his finger. My eyes went wide and mouth wide as a fish. Now, the boy looked so familiar. He looked really familiar. He was on a magazine cover. Pink spiky hair, onyx eyes, tan, tall and super strong. But also can lit up a flame with one finger or at the palm of his hands.

"Your the Salamander from Fairy Tail," I said. The boy pivoted his head at me, grinning idiotic.

The male's eyes widen. He know fully well who was this Salamander and he is from the frightening gang club ever in Magnolia. He was so screwed.

"Wait," the man said as he held up his hands in defense. "I was just kidding."

Salamander narrowed his eyes and scoffed. "Yeah and I was just happen to stumble upon you, gripping tightly onto a girl's wrist. Yeah, you really were just kidding."

The man shrieked and tried to run away, but Salamander fling his fire at the man's direction. The mn screamed, coughing violently and eyes burning once he took in the fire. Salamander, eyes turning slightly red, cracked his knuckles.

"Here's something that should blow you away. Fire Dragon's Roar!" Salamander yelled. He blew his fire towards the man. The man was caught on fire, screaming at the pain he was going through.

I stood there shock. I just witnessed Fairy Tail's Salamander kicking some guys butt. I smiled before coughing violently as I took in the air of the fire. Salamander walked towards me. He bit his lower lip before throwing me over his shoulder as he heard some police sirens.

"Shit," he muttered before he ran away with me leaving the man in the store that was currently on fire. He ran before the cops can spot him.

Salamander panted as he put me on the ground. I watched him pant for a few minutes before grinning like a dumb idiot. He eyed me warily. "You really are heavy. Miss."

My eyes twitched in aggravation. "Excuse me but I'm not that fat."

Salamander grinned. "Well wake up and smell the roses because you really need to eat less."

I glared at him and crossed my arms stubbornly. I peeked open an eye and bit my lip in appraisal. Salamander was the cutest guy ever and he seemed more of a eye-looker than being strong.

I blushed when he glanced at me. I cleared my throat. "Well thanks back there for um...helping me."

Salamander grinned. "No problem and call me Natsu." Natsu held out his hand, assuming that I would take it.

"Hello. My name's Lucy," I said slowly as I took my hands into his bigger ones. He smiled at me; that gave little butterflies in my stomach. No wonder people call him cute. He is really, gosh damn it, handsome. He looked at me and grinned once more while I just bit my lower lip and stared at him.

But for some reason, I already knew that meeting him was going to be quite the adventure together.

Still

I looked at Natsu strangely as he held onto my hand, skipping around town. I saw all the looks people were giving us and I couldn't help but blush. I was holding hands with a Fairy Tail member. I smiled and my face was pressed against Natsu's back.

"Natsu," I said with my eyes slightly twitching, "why did you stop."

Natsu pulled me in front of him and stared intensely into my eyes. I felt warmth filling my cheeks once more and my heart thundering loudly in my chest. Why is he looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong? And how come I'm still holding his hand?

Natsu bit his lower lip and raised an eyebrow. He glared at his stomach as it grumbled loudly. I knitted my eyebrows together.

"I'm hungry Luigi," He said as he let go if my hand and rubbed his stomach. I tried not to look at his tone abs that was standing out. He was wearing an open vest with his torso showing. A leather jacket and black pants that has a belt in its pocket. I tried to pry my eyes away from his chest.

"Its Lucy," I said slowly as he stared at me blankly. I bit my lower lip and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Its Lucy not Luigi."

"Oh, sorry about that, Lucy," Natsu said as he grinned. I gave him a small smile before clasping my hands together. I looked around and tried to find somewhere we could eat at. Then I spotted a restaurant. I grinned and stared back at Natsu who was on the ground. He was holding his stomach and he bit his lower lip.

"Did you find anything?" He asked. I nodded and grabbed his hand before running towards the restaurant.

Still

"It seems like you love eating," I said as I tried to avoid all the mess that was being thrown. I never knew that Natsu eat like a pig. I sweat dropped as he asked for more food. Do I even have enough money to pay for all of this?

"So Lucy," Natsu said as I looked at him. I nodded at him to continue on. "How do you know who I am?"

I smiled. "Well its because your from the scariest gang ever. Fairy Tail's Salamander."

Natsu nodded before stuffing food in his mouth. As he finished chewing, he looked at me again. "Why aren't you scared of me?"

I blinked at the question. I took a sip of my water before putting it down on the table. "Well, you really aren't scary."

Natsu raised an eyebrow, unconvinced. I let my finger traced over the table's butterfly design.

"I don't think the Fairy Tail gangs are really scary. I can prove that by you saving me today." I said as I pointed out today's rescuing.

Natsu shrugged his shoulders before ordering another pair of food. I sighed. How much can he eat?

I glanced up at Natsu as he traced the butterfly with his finger. I spotted a chain around his neck and I also spotted one earring that was shaped like a dragon. I squinted, trying to read what the chain read.

"Igneel," Natsu said as he touched his chain. I jumped; he really did startled me. How come he knew what was I doing? This boy is scary.

I cocked my head to the side. "Who is Igneel, Natsu?"

Natsu lowered his head and stared glumly at his plate. I can tell he didn't want to speak about it.

"Can I tell you later?" Natsu asked quietly as his onyx eyes held sadness. I smiled and nodded.

"You can tell me when you're ready," I said while smiling. Natsu smiled at me before sighing and stretching out his arms.

"Here's the bill," A women said as she placed the bill on the table. I nodded as the women walked away and stared at the bill. My eyes went wide.

"1,200 jewels!" I yelled. I glared at Natsu and his eyes went wide at the price.

"What are we going to do? I don't even have enough money," I hissed. Natsu just licked his lips before running his fingers in his hair. I blushed before turning away. Natsu grinned at me and I raised an eyebrow at him.

Then the next thing I know, I was being lifted into his arms and Natsu jumped out of the window while the employees tried to call the manager and yelled for Natsu to come back.

I screamed at the top of my lungs as Natsu we landed slowly on the ground. I sighed in relief and Natsu ran away from the restaurant.

"Natsu!" I yelled as he continues to run, "we are so dead because of you."

Natsu just only laughed.

Still

Natsu panted as he put me on the ground. This was the second time we ran away from the police. Well, the employees were trying to dial the police. I stared at Natsu. I swear I am always going to get in trouble if I'm with him.

Well he is a Fairy Tail member.

I blinked at the realization. Natsu is a Fairy Tail member and I had all this time to ask him if I can join. I mentally face palm at my stupidity.

"Lucy," Natsu said as he interrupted my thoughts. He unraveled into his full height as he finally stops painting. I blinked at him. "I was wondering if you like to join a certain gang."

I raised an eyebrow. "It depends on what you need."

Natsu smiled as he spun me around. My eyes went wide as I stared at the tall building in front of me. The words of the gang were black and huge so it can be noticeable.

"I want you to join the Fairy Tail gang," Natsu said.

Then everything went black.
