Stars Are Blind – Chapter 1

"Master," Makarov looked up. "May I speak to you in private?"
He nodded, jumping down from his spot to follow Quinn. It was just some time after Lucy's fight with Flare Corona of Raven Tail. She lost miserably. Quinn easily saw the reason for her loss, especially after her effort to use the magic Hibiki had given her seven years ago during the fight against Oracion Seis. Though she didn't want to anger Natsu or any of the Fairy Tail members, so she kept it to herself for their sake.
"This is the first time we really saw her true identity." said Levy, looking up at the sky, crossing her arms in thought.
"And she really spoke." Droy added.
"She's pretty!" Mavis exclaimed, clasping her hands to her heart. "Why does she disguise herself?"
"No one really knows." Lisanna replies, recalling the time she sees a small figure of her height in a sky blue cloak, speaking to Makarov quietly at the bar back at the guild. "She did have her own room at Fairy Hill, but like always, she doesn't show her face. If she were to take a bath, she would wake up before everyone else and rush back to her room. She's almost like...Mystogan. If she were to find a S-Class quest, she would go to the guild at night when it was closed and leave the next day."
"Oh!"
"Yeah, but..." Alzack smiled. "Now should be the time we really get to open her up and know her."
"I agree." Bisca added, Asuka in her arms.
Makarov and Quinn never came back until the end of the fight between Blue Pegasus's Ren Akatsuki and Mermaid Heel's Ariana Web; Ren being the winner. Makarov returned to his spot while Quinn went to sit next to him on his right, with Mavis on his left.
"So, Quinny," Makarov began, smiling at the direction of Orga Nanagear and War Cry. "What do you think of the guild participating in the Grand Magic Games?"
Quinn had a blank look on her face. "The cockiness of the other guilds get on my nerves, but," she curved her lips slowly. "I have most of my mind seeing Fairy Tail win."
"Yeah, right!"
Without any warning at all, Quinn stood up and attacked the person who said so a ball of dark blue lightning. It was just like a blur. No one even saw it pass them. The man was burned back, head to toe, not seriously. Just the kind of electric shock you would get from touching a plug with wet hands. But it was still rather surprising.
"I don't want to know who you are, but I know you are a sorry excuse of life." said Quinn, her eyes darker than usual.
"Quinn, sit down! You're bringing unwanted attention!" Makarov hissed quietly. She heard him and did so, but a scowl remained on her face. "Let it go."
"As I was saying," Bisca and Alzack sweatdropped, hearing her bring back their previous subject. "this year should be rather interesting."
"I...agree." said Makarov, trying to bring back his focus on the fight. Just when Orga defeated War easily. "By the way, if you want to go rest, we are staying at Honey Bone Lodge."
"Sure." … "I'm sorry."
"...for what?"
"I may have not shown it seven years ago, but I hate it when the guild is underestimated by outsiders. Especially if they are comparing us to another guild. In this case, Sabertooth."
"You seem to hold a grudge against them."
"..."
"Well?"
Quinn's eyes roamed over to the other side of the arena, spotting a blonde and dark-haired Dragon Slayer, Sting saying something to his guildmate from the balcony. After Orga's little performance, as to where most of the audience joined in, it was left for Team Fairy Tail B and Team Lamia Scale.
"So, Quinn-san..." Levy came up to her. Before she could continue, she was cut off by the blonde.
"Just call me Quinn."
"Um, okay...do you happen to know that Lyon Bastia of Lamia Scale is willing to have Juvia Loxar join his guild if they win."
"Then if we win, we should get Frosch from Sabertooth."
"What? O.O"
"I'm joking." Quinn smiled at Levy. "Though it would be nice."
Levy had to think her response was weird, yet quite witty. Frosch was quite adorable. Judging by her attack earlier, she would have beat Lector up to a pulp if he went on and on about 'how amazing Sting is'. Then, the guild would get Lector phobia. A new discovery.
