It was dark, I was scared, the looming shadows of the buildings like giant bricks ready to fall over on top of the twisty and narrow road. I kept running and running, frightened about what would occur if I stopped. Looking to my left I saw a young girl, around the age of 8 trying to keep up with me.
Even though she was in nothing but ripped rags and clothing, she was still the cutest thing. She had red hair in the color of blood, tied in a high-end low ponytail. She had the brightest hue of blue eyes, that on a normal day, would light brightly with mischief and joy.
But right now, she was scared out of her wits-end, grabbing her right arm we took a right, having hit a turning section in the road. Seeing giant green blocks hugging the road on the left. Seeing an entrance to the maze I rushed in, pulling my companion along with me.
Going through the entrance, that was decorated with beautiful flowers, and had the hedge in an arc to showcase more of its beauty. I never noticed the sign that said, 'Castle Gardens'.
We kept running, until the girl yelled out, "Kit! I need to rest please stop!" Turning around, I saw the little girl huffing and puffing, sweat pouring down her forehead, her eyes brimming with tears having pushed herself to her limit.
I didn't stop I kept running, pushing myself and her, "We can't stop, Atsume! He is coming closer, we need to RUN!" I yelled in fright taking a right in the garden maze.
We hit a dead end.
Turning around, as to find another way. I saw a cloaked man standing there in the dark. The only noticeable thing on him, is his lecherous fanged grin.
He started to walk closer, and closer. Putting Atsume behind me, I prepared myself by getting a blunt pocket knife that I hid in my pocket out. The blade shinning in the moonlight, giving off my reflection.
I was a boy just in his preteen years, with brown hair and bright blue eyes. I spoke, nay I screamed myself hoarse at the approaching figure, "GET BACK! I WILL DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT MY SISTER!"
He just gave us a larger grin as he got closer, I closed my eyes preparing myself for what is to come.
Snapping my eyes open, I saw a fanged grin staring down at me. Reaching out I grabbed his arm and shoved him against the concrete wall. Growling I gave the man a cold hardened glare.

Gajeel hovered over Kit, excitement fueling his system. He was going to get his revenge for what happened this morning. I mean, how do you wake your own teammate out of their sleeping state? Kit apparently thought pushing them off was the best way.
Cracking his knuckles together, he gave a fanged grin.
He was just about to awaken the tactician. When said tactician opened his eyes, grabbed his arm, and slammed him into the wall with such force he thought his right arm was now bruised.
The other members of Team B left out shocked gasps of surprise. For Kit's eyes have turned into an icy cold green, glowing with hidden energy.
They saw the flute poking out of Kit's jacket. The normally dull gem, now also glowing a similar bright green, not unlike that of Kit's eyes. Mirajane, as peaceful as possible, went to pacify Kit. A couple of seconds later, Kit's eyes shined with realization.
He dropped Gajeel on his bottom, turned the other way and started to tighten his knuckles so hard, they started turning white. He turned back around his head facing the ground, "Gajeel, I'm sorry, I had a bad dream. I hope you are still able to continue." Kit said with sincerity.
Even though his face was shadowed by his hair, they could still see how much that dream affected him. Mirajane walked over to him and stopped right in front of him, grabbing his chin and making him look directly into her dark blue orbs shining with innocence.
Her smile was bright and cheerful, "It's okay, were a team, right?" She asked, her entire being of that of an angel.
Giving a smile and return I nodded. I was ready, finally ready for the games.

The Fairy Tail team was a little worried. They knew most of these guilds, and Raven Tail was definitely something to keep an eye on. They came in third place, looking like the scariest guild to walk the face of Fiore.
Everyone was waiting with bated breaths, waiting for the announcer to call out the next, and second place, team.
Chapati Lola, the announcer for the Grand Magic Games, could not believe what he is reading. Before the games started he was given a list of who came in what place. He didn't think he had to read it as soon as he got it so he waited until the start of the games.
Now, he wished he read it.
"W-well people, for the first time in forever, in second place, we have SABERTOOTH!" Even though he finished in a yell of excitement, everyone could hear the unbelieving tone in his voice.
Everyone else, was shocked beyond belief. Sabertooth, the guild that always comes in first, came second. The said guild walked out of their entrance gate, annoyance written on their face clear as day. Who could blame them? They were always, always, first.
"A-and n-now," the announcer spoke his voice all choppy. Everyone else was now on guard prepared for whoever came in first, they must have been monsters to be able to surpass the number one guild in Fiore, hell to even get this far when most of the other top guilds were already in the tournament.
They all saw the gate starting to open, the 5 figures of the currently unknown guild hidden by shadows. The scary sensation was, that one of their eyes were dully glowing green before going dark.
"F-for the f-first time, in first place," the figures were now out of the shadows, everyone let out shocked gasp, " F-FAIRY TAIL TEAM B!"
And as Chapati said, the figures were in fact said team. They all looked, satisfied, their heads were held up high, and their smile big and bright.

I loved it.
Everyone was still shaking from the shock, the best reaction being Sabertooth's team with their eyes widen like dinner plates. Stifling a snicker, I looked over at my teammates.
They were proud.
They were proud of their guild, their ability to achieve what everyone thought impossible, most of all, they were proud of themselves.
Noticing all the excitement start to buzz down, I looked forward seeing Natsu marching toward us, "Being in the same guild don't mean jack, if I fight against any of you I'm not pulling any punches, as long as were in this tournament you're my enemies and I'm not gonna' lose to any of you!"
He was right in front of Gajeel's, face both of them glaring heavily at each other. I gave a dark chuckle. Everyone turned towards me slightly surprised, "That is the exact reaction we want, Natsu," turning towards the other members of Team A I gave them a scolding look, " If you pull any punches against us both are teams are to be disqualified, and we came here to win. So, I suggest you follow the brainless idiot for once."
Giving them a week I bleed back behind Team B, looking as though I just disappeared from everyone, when in reality I hid in the shadows behind my temporary team.
I sat and watched as both of the teams conversed with one another. Looking around the arena I found my 'guild', and a floating girl who stared at me intensely, my eyes going right over Fairy Tail's spectator stand.
Wait, what?
A floating little girl looking at me intensely!? Who the hell is she!? I don't remember her being in the guild hall!? And floating!? WHERE THE HELL DOES FAIRY TAIL GET ITS MAGES!?
Than Makarov started to bow to her and apologies, as if he was a little kid whose hand got caught in a jar of delicious cookies.
Hmm, cookies.
Snapping myself out of my inner thoughts I waited for the tournament to go ahead and begin. Five minutes later and a huge stone with partially filled out event plans appeared.
Seriously? A huge stone, PARTIALLY filled.
Deciding not to question it I waited as the announcer started explaining some rules and the plans for the games. If I was honest with myself, this got me real excited.
"Ready for action?" Chapati, the now recognizable announcer asked, "let's get started with the first contest of the Grand Magic Games, one that we call 'Hidden'!"
Said name of the game popped up on the stone wall. Interesting, they will tell us a clue, the clue being the name of the contest, then the team pick the best suitable member for said contest.
It was genius.
Going by the name alone, I stepped up in front of my teammates, turning around and giving them a bloodthirsty grin, "Being stealthy? That's what I live for, a game named 'Hidden'? That is obviously where I am going to shine."
They all quickly agreed. Even if Juvia was a little hesitant because her, 'Darling Gray' was going to enter said contest. All of the other contestants stepped forward when asked, the announcer started calling our names.
"The first Challenger, representing Quatro Cerberus, Yeager!" There were slight cheers though nothing to get excited about.
"From Mermaid Heel, the adorable Beth Vanderwood." Said girl waved toward the crowd excitedly, getting some positive feedback in the form of excited cheers in return.
"From Raven Tail, Nullpudding!" The man looked more like a fighter, and also looked quick to anger, he was not too much a challenge.
Before Chapati could even say Eve's name, the crowd went wild for the youngest of the Blue Pegasus pretty boy's, "From Blue Pegasus, Eve Tilm!"
"Keep your eyes on this one! From Sabertooth, the one who sing to the red moon, Rufus Lore!" That made me pause, this one was definitely worth watching, if my reconnaissance of the other contestants was correct, that I didn't steal before the games started. What? Information is the best thing to have, don't judge me! Anyway, his memory make would definitely pose a large threat.
Snapping out of my inner dilemma, I finally looked over and analyze Fairy Tail Team A. That was when I noticed Wendy was not present.
Fear over-taking my system I started to imagine the worse; did something happen to her? Was she okay? Was she hurt? Worst of all, was she alive?
Snapping my head out of it, I realized she must have been slightly injured. The other members were not worried, even if they were trying to mask it I could tell, I am good at reading people. But if someone hurt Wendy?
The Fox of Crime Sorcière, would not be afraid to bite whoever hurt my new baby sister's little head. Growling in slight anger I was knocked out of my funk when I heard Chapati speak yet again.
"From Lamia Scale, Leon Vastia!" Sensing Gray coming up to my left I raised a brow. You could sense the brother rivalry a mile away.
"From Fairy Tail Team A, the icy Gray Fullbuster!" The crowd went crazy over the stripper. mostly the female population I noted. Do they like him for his mage reputation, or his reputation for stripping randomly?
"From Fairy Tail Team B, Kit Silver!" Hearing my name, I gave a slight jump of surprise when I heard a slight female population start to scream. Oh, dear deities above, please do not give me fangirls!
Slapping myself across the face, I saw everyone give me faces of confusion looking at them with a serious face I spoke, "The horrors I just imagined are unimaginable to everyday life."
My word spoken as if they were the wisest words in all of Earthland. All the boys who had the same female reaction nodded back, their responses ranging from, 'Agreed' to 'you'll get used to it'.
Going serious I can't help but to grin, the games were on.
