I grabbed Wendy's hand, and Levy's too. The two blunette's stumbled along next to me as I pulled them away from home. The dark night did not comfort me as I heard the yelling at the manor. I ran faster.
"Lucy! Slow down!" Wendy and Levy begged. I shook my head as I heard more footsteps. I panted as my blonde hair swirled in my face. The darkness loomed over my head and the crunching of me and sisters' feet seemed to be too loud, making anxious. I suddenly turned sharply and hid in a tree with a big hole in the trunk. I quickly filled it up with help from the other girls. We shivered as the rain seeped into the hole. As I heard loud footsteps, sniffing of dogs, and lots of yelling, I heard Wendy gasp and I covered her and Levy's mouth as some of the leaves peeled off. I held my breath as I heard sniffing dogs. I heard repetitive padding as paws trotted back to the owner. I sighed and removed my hands from sisters' mouths.
"We can sleep here tonight," I panted. The tree was big enough for all of us to stretch out, especially Wendy. Right then, Levy and Wendy crashed to the ground; I shushed them, but they were fast asleep. I realized, none of us had been outside the mansion before. We had no idea what it was like, were we could go, or even the name of the closest town. I sighed. We'll have to figure it out in the morning, I sighed. I laid down next to my sisters and sighed again. What will tomorrow bring? I wondered.
I groaned as light shone through the leaves. Wendy and Levy were stirring next to me as well. I yanked them out of our tree and grabbed their hands. We walked under the old trees, alert and jumping at every twig snap, rustle, and sigh. Suddenly, after hours of walking and stomach grumbling, Wendy sprinted shrieking with happiness. I soon realized why. Ahead of us was a town filled with magnolia trees. After all we had been through, the pretty trees, the sun, the smells, they seemed like a dream. We entered the town gawking at every building and every person. People stared at us awkwardly. I couldn't blame them. Three tired looking girls, looking like they just got dragged through a hedge. I walked over to a big poster on a wall of a building, it said: Are you a wizard? Join the strongest guild in Fiore, Fairy Tail! Underneath the caption was a big picture of a group of people. They were all smiling like there was not a care in the world. There was a stripper, a red haired girl covered in armor, a short old-man, a black haired man with many piercings, and blue haired girl clinging to the stripper with hearts in her eyes, and right at the front, a pink haired boy with the biggest grin I had ever seen. I studied the picture more, when I heard a scream. I flipped around to look for my two blue haired sisters. They were looking towards the direction of the scream. Then I heard a shrill voice.
"IT'S THE SALAMANDER!"A stampede of girls followed the scream, hearts spilling out of their eyes. I looked in the direction of the stampede only to see pink hair disappear under a pile of girls. I rushed over to help him, plus, I wanted to see if it was the pink haired boy from Fairy Tail, whatever that was. Something about wizards. I pried girls off him, each one sending me a glare. Levy and Wendy too. I grabbed a head of spiky pink hair and yanked.
"OW!" the boy screamed. He then grabbed my hand, I grabbed Wendy's who then latched onto Levy. The pink haired boy ran through the crowd, dragging us with. I heard more screaming of the girls behind us and soon I was dragging him and my sisters. The boy dragged us through the doors of a stone building. All the chatter stopped as we stood out in the open, panting heavily.
"Natsu, got a rampage of girls after you again?" I recognized the stripper from the picture.
"You brought some back, too?!" The long haired man with the piercings laughed.
"Well, have they come to join Natsu-nii?" A boy with purple black hair asked the pink haired boy called Natsu. He was about Wendy's age, while the other two were the same age as Levy and I.
"Well, can you guys do magic?" Natsu turned, but where the girls had stood now was only air.
"What was that Lu-chan?!" Levy exclaimed as they ran away from the building.
"I-I saw him in the picture and wanted to meet him."
"Well, I think that the place smelled horrible," Wendy said, wrinkling her nose. She could hear and smell very well, but then again, Levy and I could hear and smell even better. We continued down the sidewalk making their way to the apartment they had bought. One of Wendy's friends had given them a computer to help us escape and buy someplace to live. We stopped and looked up. We were here. Each one of us clunked up the metal stairs, each step resounding with a metallic thump. An image of the pink hair- no, his name was Natsu. Natsu kept popping into her head. I could tell Wendy and Levy were distracted too. I unlocked the door and gasped. The apartment was great. A bed had already been moved in (courtesy of Wendy's friend) I drifted around the apartment looking at each and every detail. It was nice to have a quiet house and no more yelling. I sighed happily and plunked all my stuff down. Wendy and Levy did the same. We all exhaled, and flopped on our bed onto our beds, bonking our heads.
"OW!" We all said in unison. I laughed, and Levy and Wendy joined in. We hadn't laughed in a while, and it felt good. After talking about stuff around town, we got to talking about Natsu and everyone in that building.
"So, how'd you even find that guy Lucy-san?" Wendy asked. She tilted her head in her way making me chuckle.
"I just saw him under the girls and wanted to help," I explained.
"Those people were weird in there. The one without the shirt? Who does that?" Levy cringed.
"What about the guy with all the piercings and the red eyes?" I laughed. Wendy smiled.
"I thought he looked kind…" Levy blushed.
"Levy-san… Do you have a crush?" Wendy smirked.
"Hey, I saw you eyeing up that young purple haired kid," Levy retorted. I shook my head and laughed harder. Wendy looked around whistling blushing furiously.
"Lucy-san couldn't stop staring at that pink haired guy!" Wendy whined, mockingly. I turned quite red due to the heat I felt rise to my cheeks.
"We didn't even meet the guys!" I exclaimed.
"That doesn't mean we can't think their cute…" Levy said, wiggling her eyebrows. I laughed so hard I cried.
"We… Have to… Go… To bed…" I panted. None of us moved because we were all too tired to change. We ducked under the covers and slept peacefully and quietly for the first time in a long time.
Back at the guild…
"Where'd they go?!"I exclaimed looking around furiously.
"They left, Ash Brains," Gray rolled his eyes.
"Hey Ice Princess, I got that," I growled. I didn't even get to thank them, I thought. Too late now.
"You want to go Flame Breath?" Gray stood up, shaking off Juvia.
"Come at me, I've beaten you before, I'll do it again," I smiled.
"I was drunk!" Gray whined.
"Before that…" I sighed. Gray lunged. Fire and ice clashed, laughter and insults filled the guild. Before we realized it, we stood there panting, Gray on the outside of a large Gray-shaped hole. Then, we both froze as we heard armor clinking. Gray and I ran to each other, arms open for a hug. We grabbed onto each other and heard each other pray for their lives.
"Was that fighting? Gray-"He shuddered when he heard his name. I felt it. "Natsu?" I held my breath. There were quiet chuckles throughout the guild.
"NO ERZA," we yelled, hugging tighter. I wanted to run out of the guild then and there. My eyes were closed so, when I heard Erza and her armor clinking away, I sighed and released Gray. I growled at him and took my place next to Happy who was munching on a fish.
"Who were those girls you brought to the guild?" Happy asked, his mouth full of fish.
"They helped me get all the girls off me in town." I explained. I thought of the blonde girl and realized I could still find them with my nose.
"MY FISH! NATSU!" Happy yelled as I grabbed him and dragged him outside.
I heard laughter as I recognized the smell of the three girls. I almost went up, but noticed it was getting dark. I'll do it tomorrow, I thought as I wandered home.
