I do not own Fairy Tail
I take a big breath and start to say "It all started when my parents had my big brother." However, I'm interrupted by a slight vibration in my keys and a bright flash.
"Caroline are you okay? Dublin told me you had been kidnapped!" Jamie looks around for something to punch and heroically save me from.
"I'm fine Jamie! Would you calm down." I glare at him hoping he'll take a hint. But, I'm not that lucky and he starts to growl at my companions. I get smirk on my face and know exactly how to calm him and down and completely embarrass him. "Ohhhh! My kitten was so worried about me! So adorable come here and mommy will give you love!" I say with arms outstretched and lips puckered to kiss his cheek.
A look of fear enters his eyes and he bolts behind a chair. "I'm not a kitten! How many fucking times to I have to tell you!... No get away from me!" He screams in fear as I come closer an evil gleam in my eyes.
"But I thought you were worried about me!" My puppy dog face full force. "Don't you love me?" My eyes water with fake tears.
"No not the face!" A tear escapes my left eye and my lip pouts. Arms outstretched in hopes of a hug. "Oh fine but only because I love you."
"Victory!" I think as I'm enveloped in his warm arms.
"What a good kitten." I mutter in his ear. He stiffens and glares at me. I nuzzle his neck in a sign of affection. He smiles at the action and I hear a chuckle behind us.
"Well she's got you whipped, Jamie." The leader of the zodiac exclaims with humor in his voice.
"Of course I do! He is my adopted baby! I he knows his mother always gets what she wants!" I shout as Jamie tries to wiggle from my firm hold. All in vain, as I give him a peck on the check and nuzzle his neck one more time letting a contented purr break lose.
"Caroline let me go! You're embarrassing me." Jamie hisses in mock anger.
"Fine!" I let him go to quickly and he loses his balance to land on his rump. I giggle and turn to introduce my best friend. "This is James he is a jaguar spirit. He and I have been together since I was born."
Lucy jumps up and offers Jamie a hand to help him up. "Hi I'm Lucy a celestial mage and this Leo the Lion." G but we call him Loke" gesturing towards the ginger at her side.
"Oh I know Leo! He and I used to share a master about two centuries ago." James answers in a dismissive tone and I smack him on the back of the head.
"Be polite. These people want to hear my story so you have to be nice to them!" I scold.
"But they kidnapped you."
"Minor detail!" I give him a look of annoyance.
Sorry! It's very nice to meet you Lucy." He grabs her hand and place a kiss on her knuckles. "Please forgive my rudeness!"
Seeing Lucy's blush I smile and say " Good job, now you're acting like a proper young man. Now where was I?" Hearing a huff from Jamie I start from the beginning.
"You know how much older I am than you?" I choose to ignore him.
"My brother was never supposed to be born. My mother and father's relationship was taboo. My father is not exactly a human like my mom. He is a celestial spirit, the the son of the spirit king to be more exact."
Cringing as I hear them suck their breath I hurry to continue before the shoot me down as a liar. "My mother, a celestial mage, acquired his key and then he realized they were soulmates."
"They royal family has keys? How did they know they were soulmates?" Lucy inquires.
"Spirits of the Royal Family have golden key studded with diamonds." I reach behind my neck and unclasp my necklace and pull out my key and set it on the table. The dazzling diamonds follow the perimeter of the key and in the middle is a red footprint of a mountain lion.
Lucy reaches out to touch the key and encounters force field of purple angry magic. "Sorry no touching. I'm afraid the last time someone got ahold of my key I was in a coma for a week!" Her eyes widen. "But, that's another story for another time.
"The royal family has a predestined soulmate. Each pair of soulmates are born with a matching birthmarks. Through this mark they are able to feel whatever pain the other feels. And after the celestial form of marriage they can share other sensations and feelings." I reach to the collar to my shirt in pull it down and to the left to reveal a deep red paw shaped birthmark that mostly visible except the corner covered by my bra. Embarrassed by the stares of my companions I cover the tattoo like mark that rests over my heart. "My parents have a similar one that's blue. They fell in love and had my brother. He was premature and almost died. His magic power came from my father and he controls the mountain lion spirit. However, with his human heritage he had trouble controlling himself until he turned twenty one and fully matured.
"When I was born I inherited my grandma's and father magic. My grandma came from a long line of dream casters who have always possessed the power to control dreams and sleep. The power within me is very unstable and hard to control.
"My dream magic, if I'm not careful, will send me into a coma or worse. It's hard to only release only a small amount of magic and tends to send the excess energy from the spell and my body physically can't hold up to the strain.
"But I also have the power from my father. My father's celestial form is of a mountain lion and all my siblings and I inherited that form .My siblings and I constantly have this little voice in our heads of our inner mountain lion that likes to tell us what to do. It's like the your conscience but an actual person, Loke should have one." I smile at him and he returns it weakly and nods.
"I practice celestial magic as a it is in my blood to lead spirits. While I only have silver keys my own magic helps bolster my spirits. Normally Jamie's appearance is much smaller and his battle capabilities and much weaker." In response he grumbles in annoyance and crosses his arms. "Hopefully my magic will stabilize once turn twenty one like my brother."
I look up to see Loke still in a state of shock , Lucy eyes wide with wonder and Jamie still sulking about being called a kitten. It is a lot to take in so, I sit silently waiting for them to absorb the information.
"That still doesn't explain why it dark guild is trying to get your keys." Lucy states.
"If my key falls into the wrong hand they control me and due to immense amount of power I possess my silver keys are practically as strong as gold keys." Loke huffs at that and I roll my eyes. "So, if they have me nothing will stop them…. from harnessing our combined power to accomplish their evil plots.
"I am not a big fan of mass murders so when they demand I gave them my key I told them to 'suck it' and ran like hell. I have been running for six months and can't go home or I'll lead them to my family. It's best for everyone if I run and keep running. I'm shunned by most spirits for being half human so I've never felt welcome in the spirit world."
Lucy's eyes water and she leaps at me and envelopes me in her arms. "That's so sad! You should stay here and join Fairy Tail! Let's go talk to master right now!"
"Are you sure? I don't want to cause you trouble." I mumble and shift me feet
"Of course! Come on!"
I turn to say goodbye to the boys but they are enveloped in a flash of light as they head back to the spirit world. I look towards Lucy and grin. "Maybe I don't have to run anymore."
