Hello. Back with another chapter.
I don't own Fairy Tail.
I do claim Varen.
Chap6
Pulling the small blanket that was laying on her lap up Lucy looked around. "What do you want?" Lucy asked looking into the darkest part of the cave.
"About time you got up." (A/N He's an accent. Think of a pirate type accent)
Lucy knew now it was a man hiding in the shadows. She wasn't sure yet if he was alone or if there were more. She was glad she wasn't completely naked. Again she pulled the blanket up trying to cover herself from the eyes she could feeling looking at her and the cold.
"Don't worry love I'm not interested. But I will agree with the Bull. You do have a rockin' body."
Lucy's eyes widened and she looked into the shadows trying to see the figure. 'A spirit, but who?'
"I just gave that away didn't I?" there was a chuckle from the spirit.
"You're the one causing trouble to the village." Lucy asked.
"Trouble? Just a bit of fun. No real harm done."
Lucy couldn't help it anymore she had question running around in her head that she needed answers to. "Why this town? Also how are you here? Are you contracted to someone or here on your own power? Do you even have a key?"
"Woah Love!" the spirit paused. Lucy waited and looked down at blanket.
The spirit didn't move from the shadows but glanced towards the entrance. While Lucy was 'out' the spirit had been tricking the dragon slayer that she was with. But once she woke up he had totally forgotten about everything. But now not far from the entrance was another. "Interesting. Wasn't expecting this." He said something under his breath that Lucy couldn't hear.
-with Laxus-
Laxus was about to give up. There was no way he could pick up her scent in this snow storm. The cursed whatever it was inside of him that drew him here. Just as he was about to turn around to go back down the mountain, there was a voice whispering into his left ear. "Come get the girl." Laxus turned around looking around him for anyone. Not seeing anyone but he did see a trail of sparkling dust leading further up the mountain.
He eyed the trail for a moment before deciding even if it was a trap he to take the chance at finding Lucy. He followed the path up.
-With Lucy-
Lucy ran her hand over the blanket. She was about to ask the spirit a question when she heard footsteps running towards them. She turned her head to see Laxus come to a stop once he spotted her, his lightning magic covered his body and he looked angry. He glared over at the darkness where he could tell someone was watching.
He was ready to attack when Lucy ran over and stood in front of him, arms extended out to the side as she tried to protect the spirit. "Please don't Laxus! He's a spirit!"
He looked at Lucy. 'If this is a spirit, she's definitely not going to like me kicking his ass." He noticed she was in nothing more then her underwear and bra. Her body was shivering under the coldness and her lips were slightly blue. He let out a small irritated growl before he canceled his magic. Lucy gave him a small smile before trying to cover herself and keep warm. He pulled his coat off his shoulders and walked over to her to wrap her in the coat. "Who is he?"
Lucy turned away from Laxus to look into the darkness, she was silent for a moment. "Draco, the celestial dragon." The moment his name left her lips there was Laxus arm wrapped around her shoulders pulling her back into him.
"Good. You're not as stupid as I thought." walking out of the shadow the spirit revealed himself. "But I prefer not to go by that name. So call me Varen."
Varen looked human, which surprised both blondes. He had brown hair that came to his shoulders and dark purple eyes. He had on a white loose fitting long sleeve v neck shirt, black pants, boots, along with a dark purple sash and brown belt around his waist.
"To answer your questions. I'm here on my own power. No human has ever owned my key." He reached a hand over to his belt and sash to mess with something. "My key belongs to me."
"He looks more human than dragon." Laxus said still holding Lucy close to him.
"Does this look offend you Pup?"
Laxus glared at Varen and let out a deep warning growl, "What did you say?"
"Do you really want to challenge a dragon?" Varen smirked and leaned against the cave wall.
"Wouldn't be the first time."
"And how did that end?"
There was silence between the three. With chattering teeth Lucy asked, "Laxus can you take me back to the inn?"
Laxus looked down at the blonde in his arms, "Yeah Blondie" he started to walk towards the opening.
"The pair of you...your entertaining. Laxus was charging his magic ready to teleport when Varen spoke again. "Tell me slayer, who was your dragon." Without answering Laxus and Lucy vanished. "Yeah that's what I thought."
-At the Inn-
Levy and Lily were laying down on the bed sleeping, while Gajeel was staring out the window waiting for either blonde to return. He suddenly heard a loud crack coming from the hall, then the smell of Laxus and Lucy filled his senses. He opened the door for the older slayer. "How did you find her?"
Laxus said walking into the room not bothering to answer the question.
"Lucy!" Levy cried out as she struggled to get out of bed after waking up from the loud noise.
"So?" Gajeel asked Laxus while the two girls went into the bathroom together to changed and talk.
"Lucky guess." He gave Gajeel a look that said don't ask.
"Bullshit."
"I was looking on mountain, about to give up when someone lead me to her."
"Someone?"
"Yeah." Lucy and Levy came out. Levy crawled back into bed next to Lily.
"Thank you Laxus." she handed him his coat.
He took it and and started making his way to the door. "I'll see you all back at the guild." He left the group to get some rest.
Gajeel climbed into his own bed. He wanted to ask what the hell was going on but decided to wait. Lucy climbed in the same bed Lily and Levy were in and rolled on to her side looking at the door.
The next morning the group got ready to head out and look for more information. Lucy however was aware of who was behind all these. As they left the inn Gajeel noticed a man leaning against the wall. When Lucy and Levy exited the inn the man moved closer to them. However Gajeel stepped between the man and the girls. The man stopped and looked around Gajeel to Lucy.
"Morning Love. Can we have a chat?"
Lucy sighed, "Yeah. I'll be back in a bit guys." Before she could go Gajeel grabbed her arm.
"You know him?"
"Yeah." She didn't know what to tell them about yesterday or about Varen.
"My name is Varen and I'm a celestial spirit." He gave a goofy smile. Lily, Levy and Gajeel looked over at Lucy. She nodded. "Nice to meet you all."
"Did you want to talk?"
Varen looked over at her, "I changed my mind. I'm now here to help. You just need to know what the ruin say right?" Lucy nodded and he continued "Well isn't the prankster name...it's more of an insult."
"You can read ruins?" Levy asked surprised.
"He wrote them." Lucy said.
"So he's the trickster." Lily added
"What does it say and why couldn't we translate them? Are they a mix of Celestial ruins and another ancient one?" Levy asked not really caring about that fact but more about the ruins.
"Smart girl. Combination of both…..and it says 'morons'."
Lucy shook her head at this, Gajeel let out a small chuckle, Levy was digging her bag to write stuff down.
"We should go see the client and explain all this."
"I changed my mind again. I do need to talk to you. So can you three handle this. Will catch up after."
The trio left Lucy alone with Varen after she convinced Lily and Gajeel that she would be okay. The pair walked over to a bench in the small park.
"I thought you didn't want me to say anything about you being a spirit?"
"I don't want you revealing what spirit I am. If they ask simply call me Octans."
"Okay." She smiled at him
"Why did the big one leave?"
"Laxus? Guess he just wanted to go home."
"I've informed your spirits that I'm going to be hanging around you for a while. I want to see for myself if you live up to all the praise they give you."
"Well I hope I don't disappoint. Why are you interested in Laxus?"
"He's a dragon slayer."
" Please don't cause him any trouble."
"Right. So let's go clear up this mess and head back to your guild."
"You're coming with us back to Magnolia?"
He gave Lucy a wink, "This is going to be fun."
Thanks again to everyone who followed/faved and review. No clue when I'll be able to write or post the next chapter. I'm trying for at least once a week.
