Chapter 1

Watch Out For Lightning

It didn't take him long to get there, but Laxus couldn't force himself to go in. He'd never admit it, but he wanted what all his friends have. His season would start in a few days, and he was sick of dealing with it on his own, especially since he had a chance to find her.

He couldn't wait anymore and he wouldn't let her hide this time, so after he sensed her out (A/N: he can use and sense peoples electromagnetic field, because everyone has one) he used his lightning to travel to her.

Kendra was in the library, bored out of her mind. While she was happy for her friends, she wished she wasn't stuck in the damn place all alone. A little voice taunted, Well, if you hadn't been a fucking coward you would be off living the high life, but oh no, you're stuck here, probably for the rest of your life, just because you were too scared.

Great, now I'm going crazy.

She had just reached up to grab a book, when she found herself turned and pinned to the bookcase. Oh my god. It's him.

His magic had small bolts flying everywhere, sparking her own lightning magic.

Kendra opened her mouth, unsure what she would say, but he cut her off, "No, you just listen, last time I was here you hid, and I had to leave alone. I ain't gonna let that happen again." His eyes flashed.

Well, I was looking for a little excitement.

Laxus checked out the small woman, well small compared to him. She was about 5'6", had brown hair and eyes. Her skin was lightly tanned, which told him that she spent some time outside, but she preferred to stay in. He traced her cheek with his finger. She's so soft.

She watched as he leaned down, his lips growing closer and closer, she wanted to meet them, to see if they were as soft or warm as they looked. Yay, I'll finally be able to get out of here. That thought pulled her up short. It was then that she remembered why she hid the first time he came, she couldn't leave, if she did...she didn't even want to think about what would happen, so, she sent a small bolt into his chest, knocking him back just enough for her to be able to slip past him.

"I'm sorry," she whispered as she ran out to the room. Even though she knew the castle like the back of her hand, Kendra knew that he would find her if she stayed in the castle, so she ran outside, not sure where she was going.

He followed her, she knew he did, and she knew she would catch up to her quickly, especially since she hadn't lead the most active lifestyle. She was so worried about the man behind her, that she forgot about the rapidly approaching barrier, and she ran right into it.

Now normally, electricity didn't hurt her, in fact it almost tickled and she loved the feeling, but this wasn't normal, in any way. It wasn't an actual bolt, but something mental, it triggered something deep in her mind. The pain seem to stretch on for minutes, maybe even hours, but it really only happened in a matter of seconds.

Laxus could smell her fear, but it wasn't fear of him, no it was too light for that, he figured she was afraid of leaving, after all, she'd been there for who knows how long. He followed behind her, not worried about her getting away. In fact, he wasn't even really paying that much attention to where they were going, he was too busy thinking of ways he'd be able to talk her into leaving, but then he heard her scream. Without thought, he followed the sound, and he nearly lost it when he saw her lying on the ground, twitching.

"Kendra, Kendra look at me," he begged in a soft voice. He could hear her heart beating, so he knew she was alive, but pained moans kept escaping her lip. Carefully, he lifted her into his arms, cradling her, and he carried her back to the castle.

What the hell happened, one minute she was running, the next it was like she was struck by lightning, he thought to himself on the journey back. It doesn't make sense, I know she's a Lightning Dragon Slayer, so it can't have been real lightning, but what was it then?

The large blond found the infirmary without problem. He deposited her on one of the beds and searched for some kind of first aid kit, but he couldn't find one. "Don't bother," her soft voice called. "There's no medicine, nurse, or anything like that here. The room itself has healing magic woven throughout, just being here will cure almost anything."

Turning, Laxus saw she was sitting up, her back against the frame. She was watching him, almost like she was trying to figure him out. "I'm sorry for running, I've just been here so long, it was a knee jerk reaction."

He grabbed the bed closest to hers and drew it right next hers. She wouldn't look at him, that didn't go over too well. Laxus really didn't like being ignored, so he scooped her from her hospital bed and started to walk to the doors. "We'll come back later to get your stuff, right now all I care about is getting back to the guild."

"What!? No! You have to leave me here! I can't leave! You saw what the barrier did to me!"

Laxus was losing his grip on the squirming woman, so he tossed her over his shoulder and kept moving. He remembered the other guys talking about how the only way to get a girl off the property safely was if they were with a man, so he wasn't really worried about it.

Wind tore at his clothes, almost like it was trying to force him back, but that didn't make any sense. Her hands pounded on the small of his back, sending sparks up his spine. If he were anyone else, the shocks would have sent him to his knees, but to him, it was like a massage.

The closer they grew to the barrier, the more she struggled. She was screaming at the top of her lungs, but Laxus couldn't let that get to him. If he let her down, she would be back to the hideout before he could blink. That wasn't something he was going to let happen.

He'd been alone for twenty-three years, the last four had been even worse. The season wasn't easy for anyone to get through, but with the exception of the first, it just got worse with time. If he hadn't found her, Laxus would've been stuck on his own, finding some place away from everyone.

Kendra squeezed every muscle in her body tight, preparing for the jolt that was coming, but it never came.

Her eyes sprung open. "What the fuck?" Well, that wasn't supposed to happen.

Several hundred miles away, an alarm sounded in the study of a crazy dictator. His even crazier wife's eyes gleamed, "That stupid bitch actually did it. She fucking left the safety of her little palace."

"What're we going to do about it?"

"What do you think?" she sneered. "We're going to kill her, and anyone who stands in our way."

Yay, I finally got it finished! I know this one was kind of short, but the rest should be a bit longer. Btw, I drew the cover picture, and I have to say, my Laxus is pretty decent.
