Chapter 6

Fairy Tail Arrives

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or Its characters, only my own OC's and ideas, and my Guild

Aneira's POV

Aneira leaned up against a cool stone pillar, with her arms crossed over her chest and eyes closed. She was dimly aware of Jason's presence next to her, as the moon started rising in the already dim sky. They were currently waiting for Fairy Tail at the train station, while it was true that the ride from Magnolia to Donahue only took a few hours, Fairy Tail hadn't headed out until later that day. A chill wind blew through the station and she smiled softly at the sound of Jason's teeth chattering a little.

"Your not cold?" he asked and she shook her head.

"I never am." She replied simply and he sighed.

"I suppose that's probably true..." He muttered and she opened her eyes, glancing at him.

"I'm surprised your cold, its not as if its freezing out here." She stated and he sighed.

"I prefer warm temperatures, that's all." He mumbled and she smiled.

"You didn't have to wait with me, you know." She told him and he glanced at her for a minute before looking away again.

"I know, but who would keep you company if I wasn't here?" He asked and her eyes widened a little at the statement. Company? We've barley said a word to each other since arriving...

She looked away and let out a soft sigh, he's acting weird for some reason...

"Whatever you say," She murmured and both their heads turned slightly to the right, where the sound of the approaching train could be heard. "Looks like they're just about here." She said and straightened up. The train rolled in a few moments later and the two Rising Moon Mages stood silently, awaiting the for the Fairy Tail Mages to step off the train. Master Makarov was the first to exit, but he was almost squashed by his Wizards in their haste to get off. Both Aneira and Jason chuckled a little at their excited faces, having seen the same looks on the other members of Rising Moon.

A young man jumped from the train, a large toothy grin on his face and fire encasing his clenched fists. Aneira cast a glance at Jason, seeing him flinch upon spotting the young man, his eyes fixed on the fire.

"Alright! LETS GET THIS CONTEST STARTED!" The Fairy Tail Mage yelled and many of his fellow members sweatdropped and gave him unbelieving looks. Aneira took a step forward and gave the young Mage a smile,

"Unfortunately, the contest wont be starting until tomorrow." She informed him and he gave her a little pout.

"Really? Does it have to?" He pouted and a small blue cat flew up to the boys shoulder.

"Come on Natsu, you can wait one more night!" The cat said to the boy and he gave it a little huff.

"Fine.." Natsu muttered, the flames around his hands disappearing. Aneira turned to Master Makarov,

"Good to see you again." She greeted and he smiled back. "If you'll all follow me, the innkeeper in one of the hotels here, has agreed to house you for the three days the contest is running, free of charge." Aneira explained and turned around, heading out of the station. Makarov came up to walk at her shoulder while Jason dropped back a little and started talking with one of the Mages, keeping well away, she could see from Natsu. "Free of charge as long as you don't destroy the Inn, anyway." Aneira chuckled at Makarov's face as she added the last part.

"I'll come by in the morning and show you all to the Guild Hall, then head out into the Darrah to start the contest." Aneira told Makarov and he nodded. She lead the way confidently through the almost deserted streets that were lined with lampposts on either side of the street to provide light. She opened the door to a large three story building made mostly out of stone with wood supports, the first floor was a bar with tables, while the other two floors were where the rooms were. Speaking with the Innkeeper just behind the bar for a few moments, she smiled at his nervous face when he realized how many people in Fairy Tail there were, before smiling again and calling all of his employees to help out.

Jason broke away from his conversation with a young mage with dark hair and eyes... and no shirt or pants on... He was wearing a bracelet and a necklace, his Blue Fairy Tail mark resided on his chest. Aneira narrowed her eyes,

Hmm... Why does that kid look familiar?

She shrugged it off and looked away, Jason stood at her shoulder and she gave Makarov a goodbye before walking out of the Inn, toward Rising Moon with Jason at her side. After a few moments of silence she glanced at him and he caught her eye,

"What?" He asked and she sighed.

"I saw your reaction to Natsu, what was that about?" She asked and he looked away. After a minute or so of silence she sighed. "If you don't want to-"

"I don't like fire, alright?" He muttered and she glanced back at him.

"Alright," She answered and chuckled a little. "I'm not sure why, you could destroy any flame you wanted to." She murmured and he seemed to relax a little.

"I suppose that's true..." He finally said after a moment. Aneira smiled, tomorrow the contest starts. She sweatdropped, hopefully the forest is still standing when its over...
