Chapter one; the introduction.
The redhead was nothing like Lucy had ever seen before. Not in her entire life had she thought a woman could take out four men in one blow. The armoured redhead with her sword was even better than Kelly, which Lucy had thought of as The Beast Man since she first met Tanner. She was utterly stunned beyond words when the redhead knocked out Kelly with just a few blows, not even catching a breath before he hit the ground.
The blonde mage had never seen anything like the other girl before. No one had ever beaten Kelly, which got the girl to wonder what would happen now. Would Tanner give her away for real? Would she actually be given away as the grand prize to someone they did know nothing about?
Tanner wasn't a nice man, she knew that. However, she also knew she was special, she was against all odds precious to him in some way. Not that she would fool herself; Tanner didn't really care for her, not as much as for her magical powers. He called her "his own one of a kind", and since the day he found out, he had taken her under his wings. That would be with force, not that she had any other place to go.
"I believe there was a price," the armored redhead said with a loud, determined voice. It was a voice that was used to give orders, a type of voice that no one ignored. The redhead was quite frankly scary.
Lucy looked to Tanner, the man seemed somewhat angry and clueless as what to do next. This little game had only been a way to make money; he hadn't actually thought someone could beat Kelly. No one had thought it was possible, and therefore not even Tanner seemed to know what to do now.
"I believe it was, indeed," Tanner said as he looked to his blonde companion. The girl was emotionless as always. He didn't want to give the girl away, she was popular among the men and she got in lots of money, but the man knew the redhead. She would make a hell for him if he took back his word. "As a man that keeps his word, you have against all odds deserved the grand prize."
He waved Lucy forward, whom walked before the girl with an empty face. Any other girl would feel some sort of betrayal or hurt, but Lucy had somewhat expected this. Tanner only looked out for himself — if he thought it would be less problematic giving her away, he would without any second thoughts.
"As I promised, the ultimate grand prize, my own lucky charm, Lucy." Tanner looked once again bored, like he had seemed three hours ago when they had walked into town. "Now take her away."
The redhead nodded to the blonde before turning away and walking, as if expecting the girl to follow. Which she did. She stepped over Kelly, who apologized before the girl quickly followed her new master. Her only thoughts were how this turn of event would turn out, and wether she would get in or out safely.
A/N: I think I actually like this fic so far, not that it has come very far... I have another chapter ready, but I don't know whether I should try to continue this story or not, so I figures why not let you people decide? So tell me what you guys think!
