Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail. If anyone wants to give it to me I'd be very grateful!

Happy and I are walking down a street in Magnolia on our way to the Fairy tail Guild. He is babbling about all the good places to get fish. I tune him out as I take in the city trying absorb everything new and fight to stay on my feet. I am thoroughly exhausted from my run from the forces of the dark guild.

As we walk along an enormous guild hall comes into sight. On the front of that guild is the insignia of what I assume is Fairy tail. I turn my attention back to Happy and question " is this really your guild?" My voice quavers with awe and I'm sure my eyes are sparkling.

"Yes it is! Come on in? I'll buy you a fish." I draw a breath in excitement. When was the last time I had a good meal?

"I would love a fish. I haven't had a good fish in months."

"Really?" He says eyes huge with horror. "That should be a crime!"

"Definitely" I agree giggling lightly. Happy opens up the guild door and I am bombarded with loud noise and intense smells. To top it off a boy with pink hair flies over my head screaming in rage and spewing flames.

"Oh my gods! Is he okay?" I gape in shock and as he goes rolling down the road.

"I don't know let's ask our blue kitten".

Great now the voice wants to adopt Happy. That is not creepy at all, let's just adopt random talking cats who already have a loving family. Sighing mentally, I ask " Is he okay? Should we go help him?" Genuine concern evident in my voice.

Happy just grins and says "No, he and Grey fight like this all the time he is fine." The pink haired boy in question comes charging back but halts when he spys Happy.

"Oi! Happy where have you been? And who is your friend?" The pink haired boy inquires.

"Natsu, this is Caroline she saved my life! She beat up this guy with one huge blast it was sooooooooo cool!" Happy excitedly explains the events that transpired. However, he made it sound a little more dramatic than necessary.

"You beat a guy with one move? Come on let's fight now! I want to see if I can win." Natsu says in a pleading voice while his fist light aflame.

Chuckling I reply with a shrug "maybe some other time I am pretty tired".

"That's right I am going to buy you a fish in thanks for saving me! That will give you some energy." Happy exclaims in excitement. He quickly grabs my hand and pulls me towards the bar. Shooting Natsu a quick goodbye smile, I scamper towards the bar and the promise of a good fish.

When I sit down with Happy I get a chance to look around and see the crowded hall to discover fighting going on, a women making out with her wine barrel and a group of girls reading.

"They sure are a weird group of people. But I like them already."

"Especially blue kitten. We love blue kitten."

"Yes. Yes. We love blue kitten, now go away!"

"Caroline. "My eyes flicker back to Happy as he introduces the bar keep. "This is Mira Jane. She is going to make you a fish. Would you prefer haddock or salmon?"

"Hello Mira, I'm Caroline nice to meet you. I would like haddock if that's not too much trouble." I smile nervously.

"That will be right up. Would you like some water, you look a tad thirsty?" She responds cheerfully

"Yes please!" Turning to Happy I engage him in conversation "why don't you point out some of your friends?"

Pointing as he goes " That's Grey who is fighting with Natsu. Wendy, the girl with blue hair and her exceed Carla, she is really pretty. Gajeel, the guy with red eyes and Pantherlily his exceed. And Lucy with her friend Levy are over there reading books."

"Wow! You have a ton of friends." My curiosity of Happy's of friends is suddenly averted when I smell my fish. Spinning in my chair I face the bar and train my eyes on the kitchen door. As if on cue Mira comes floating haddock in hand. The heavenly smell hits my nose and I snatch up my silverware in anticipation.

"Someone's hungry." Mira chuckles as she places the haddock in front of me.

Between mouthfuls " I ...haven't...eaten in...three days!" I exclaim loudly

The whole guild goes quiet and turns to stare at me.

"Shit" I whisper into the dead silence.

"What!" Why would you do that?" The whole guild shouts.

"Well I was running from a dark guild. But that's not important I probably need to start running again before they find me." Lucy's eyebrows scrunch in concern and she moves to get up to talk to me. "Thanks for the fish Happy! See you later!" I turn to run out the guild and I am tackled to the ground by the blond girl not even halfway to the door.

"Let me go I have to run before they find me! I won't let them have me or my keys!" Her eyes focus on my necklace and the celestial key that sparkled in the light. That apparently shocked her enough for me to wiggle away from her and blot down the this girl won't simply let me run away and proceeds to summon a spirit.

"Open Gate of the Lion, Leo!" She exclaims in an authoritative voice. "Go stop that girl, Loke! She needs our help!"

Great! Now the leader of the zodiac was after me. Scowling I slid to a stop in a side alley and summon my getaway spirit. "Open Gate of The Royal Steed, Dublin!" And a gorgeous bay horse with a white blaze appear at my side. Unfortunately he is a big horse and I can't just jump on him or he'll get pissed and kick me in the face for even thinking about it. So I jump on a crate right next to him thinking I had plenty of time only to be hauled over a shoulder that smelled distinctly of lion. My magic finally withers away and Dublin disappears with an angered whinny.

Prepared to scream like a baby and kick but then my thoughts are suddenly interrupted by the contented purr of my inner mountain lion. Slightly confused I take a loud sniff of Leo the Lion and immediately started to purr myself. "he smells really good!"

But then I remember that he is kidnapping me and immediately stop the noise. However, the blasted noise is heard by my captor and he starts to chuckle.

"See something you like?" He says cockily in a way only a playboy would know.

"Hn. No, you just smell really good." In a princess like tone that I have perfected after years of visiting my Grandparents.

"What do you mean?" He asks in a flirtatious tone. I can't see his face due to the fact that I'm slung over his shoulder like a rag doll but I'm sure he is smirking.

"You smell like lions and stars. It reminds me of home." I say with a flourish of my hands.

I hear him take in a sniff of my scent and whack him up side the head. "You really shouldn't sniff stranger's butts. It's considered rude." I state in my all knowing voice. Due to the way he is carrying me my butt is the closest thing to his nose.

Instead of responding to my joke he sets me down next to Lucy a light blush flushed across his cheeks. Turning my attention away from the stunningly gorgeous man standing to me I fuss with my ponytail. and ask in an innocent voice "Is there something you needed?" A twinkle of amusement dancing in my eyes.

"You will explain exactly why you are being chased by a dark guild!" Lucy exclaims looking like she could strangle me any second. "You should take care of yourself you have barely eaten, you are nearly out of magic power your knees are scraped up." I glance down at my knees, they looked pretty bad. My natural healing had been significantly.

Tucking my head down, I sigh. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you." My lip slightly pouts out and I give her the full force of my puppy dog eyes.

Surprisingly, she envelopes me in a hug. "Let's get you some more food you must be starved." She grasps my hand and leads me into the guild hall. We are quickly followed by the lion spirit and find a seat at a table.

"I don't know where to start." I state in a sad tone and fidget with the napkin in front of me.

"How about the beginning?" Leo responds.

I take a big breath and start to tell my story...
