Chapter 11

"Argh, this is not what I had in mind when you say we were going somewhere, Blondie" Estelle murmured as she walked between Sting and Yukino with Rogue on the other side of Yukino.

They were walking through a luscious green forest on their way to a mission and the two Exceeds were beside their partners. "It sounded like a serious and interesting mission!" He retorted and Estelle rolled her eyes while puffing her cheeks.

"Interesting for you" She muttered while crossing her arms over her chest. "You're starting to pout" Sting said in a low husky voice and Estelle quickly bit her lip.

"S-Sorry, I do it unconsciously"
"Sure you do"
"What's that supposed to mean?!"
"Nothing…"

Estelle glared at Sting as he smirked back at her and tension surrounded them while the other sweat dropped. "I thought you were passed the argument of this" Rogue said and Yukino smiled nervously.

"I don't think they'll ever stop arguing about this" Lector nodded in agreement and Frosch stuck up his paw.

"Fro thinks so too!"

"Listen, here you! I don't-" Estelle's eyes widened when her keys suddenly called to her and her eyes caught glance of a key that glowed brightly.

"It's glowing again…" Yukino said and Estelle looked at her with furrowed brows.

"Did this happen when you were traveling around?" Yukino nodded and Estelle's eyes narrowed at her key as she pulled it off.

"But, neither of us knew what to do since you…" Estelle nodded while everyone stared at them dumbstruck.

"I think we lost you"
"Fro thinks so too!"

The key suddenly started to burn Estelle and she let it go with a yelp before it floated in the air. "Damn that Fire Dragon" She cursed under her breath before seeing the key move on its own and she heard the Dragon's voice beckoning her.

"What's it doing? Huh? Blue-eyes?! Where are you doing?!" Estelle sprinted off after the key and they glanced at each other before running after her.

"Why do we always run after her?!" Sting thought aloud and they slowly lost sight of her because of her speed that picked up.

Queen, it looks like he's after something.
Yes, I can feel it. However, something's not right…

Estelle's eyes widened when the key suddenly stopped and the glow vanished before falling onto the ground. She picked it up and looked at it with a confused expression before feeling heat coming for her face.

Her eyes widened when she saw a ball of fire come down towards her and the key shot out again from her palm before it absorbed the fire. There was a loud roar and Estelle had to cover her ears as it erupted from inside her mind as well.

A red magic circle appeared in the sky and a red light shot down in front of her before a large fiery red Dragon appeared. It spread out its wings and let out another roar. "Aiden! What's the meaning of this?!" Estelle asked and the Dragon stopped with its roar before it looked down at Estelle.

"I sense my King nearby" He said and Estelle's eyes widened.

"B-But that's impossible-!" A teenage boy with salmon-colored hair burst through the trees and their eyes widened.

"What's a Dragon doing here?!" He exclaimed with wide eyes and Estelle looked back at the Dragon with furrowed brows.

"Aiden-" The Dragon grunted at her question before she could ask it and he looked back at the salmon-haired boy.

"You there, human. I was summoned forth by your flames, speak your name" Aiden said in a deep voice as it boomed on through the forest and the boy swallowed hard. His scale like scarf fell behind his back and his sandals stood firm on the ground.

"I'm Natsu Dragneel. Who are you?" He asked and the Dragon blew steam from his nostrils. "I am Aiden. Fire Dragon" he answered.

"No way! You're a Fire Dragon?!"
"Yes"

Estelle sweat dropped at Natsu as his mood suddenly changed and in no time he and her Fire Dragon couldn't stop talking. You're kidding me. He summoned himself using the kid's energy just so they could talk?! Alexander yelled and Estelle sighed.

I guess.

"Tell me, boy. What connection do you have with my King, Igneel?" Aiden asked and Natsu grinned from ear to ear.

"Igneel's my father" Estelle's eyes shot towards him and widened when she was pulled somewhere deep inside a dark and volcanic location.

She looked around warily and swallowed hard at the heat that emitted from around her. "W-What is this?" She asked rhetorically and heard a growl from her counterpart.

"No, you should be asking: Where is this?" She jumped in shock at a deep voice from behind her and felt a warm wind behind her.

Estelle swallowed hard and willed herself to glance back into a pair of gleaming yellow eyes inside a large volcano. "W-who are you?" Estelle asked, her voice barely a whisper and her counterpart snap at her.

She took a few steps back when the Dragon slowly emerged from the volcano and she gasped. "King Igneel!" She exclaimed before grabbing her mouth and silently apologized.

"There's no need to apologize, Dragon Queen" Estelle's eyes widened.

"I'm not-"
"But soon you will be. I never thought I would find the honor to meet you"

Estelle flushed and she shook her head. "M-Me neither! I-I mean, Aiden did tell me about you and showed me but I never thought I would meet you!" Igneel chuckled and grinned.

"Yes, I'm sure he put up quite a fight before you finally sealed him away" He said and Estelle sweat dropped.

"Yeah, I still have the burn marks to prove it. He didn't want to go until he found you again…That reminds me. Where are we?" Igneel chuckled.

"You finally ask the right question. We're in my domain were I'm in what some call a sleep stadium" He said and Estelle's browed furrowed.

"Strange… I didn't take you for the lazy type…" Alexander's voice said as he suddenly appeared next to her and they let out a surprised cry to see each other.

"How-When did you get here?!" Estelle asked and he looked as clueless as she was.

"It's not my fault! I didn't come here willingly!"
"What was that now about me being lazy?"

They both snapped out of their haze and looked back at the Dragon that looked semi-angry at Alexander. "Tch, I can't even have my thoughts for myself… I said I didn't take you for the lazy type to sleep around for years while you're comrade searches for you" Alexander said and the Dragon sighed.

"It cannot be helped…" Estelle and Alexander glanced at each other before looking back confused at Igneel.

"Human woman. Dragon child. Thank you for helping my comrade to find rest. I know now that he is in good hands" He said and Estelle took a step forward.

"Isn't there something else you wanted to discuss with us?" Estelle asked and a brief silence passed by them.

"On another time, Dragon Queen. I shall see you again, take care" Everything suddenly turned white in front of their eyes before they appeared back inside Estelle's mind.

"W-What…was…that?" Alexander asked and was surprisingly out of breath along with Estelle.

"I…don't have…an idea…" She said breathing heavy before hearing her name being called.

"Tch…go already…" Alexander snapped as he went to sit back down on his fine red leather chair and Estelle rolled her eyes.

"Whatever"

Estelle's eyes slowly fluttered open, "Hey! Wake up!" Estelle shot up in shock at the voice and hit someone's head before clutching her own.

"That hurt!" Natsu's voice rang in her ears and she looked at him through her tears.

She blinked them away and her hands fell to her side while looking at him in confusion. "Hey, you're that guy from earlier…Natsu, right?" He nodded as his hands dropped to his side and suddenly pulled out a key before giving it to her.

"Your friend disappeared not long after you collapsed and he told me to give you this" Natsu said and Estelle smiled while taking her key.

"Thank you" She clipped it back with her other Dragon Spirits before looking back at him.

"So then, who are you? And why do you smell like an army of Dragons?"
"I am Estelle, Celestial Wizard, Guardian of the Dragon keys"

Natsu blinked at her with a blank expression and she sighed. "I can summon Dragons with my keys, like a Celestial Wizard can summon spirits" She explained and his face lit up. "No way! Really?! You actually get something like that?! That's so cool! Wait…" He sniffed her again and she flushed.

"Yeah, I recognize your scent now. Gray came in with a crystal that had your scent all over it… So the bastard didn't lie when he said he met a Dragon" Natsu said and trailed off in his own thoughts while Estelle chuckled.

"Well, today you did as well and I must say I'm glad that Aiden swallowed that fire… I would've been a gonner for sure" Estelle said and turned blue underneath her eye while he grinned innocently.

"Sorry about that! I get a little carried away from time to time. I was chasing a few monkeys" Estelle raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah… So what are you doing here except calling on Dragons in the middle of the forest?" Estelle blushed in embarrassment.

"I-I'm actually on a mission with-""Natsu!" In a blur of blue, Natsu was tackled by a blue Exceed as tears of relief fell down its cheek.

"Happy!"
"I thought one of those monkeys swallowed you whole!"
"One did, but I broke through!"

Estelle sweat dropped at the two before hearing an explosion erupt in front of them and saw a blond female land on her feet. "Lucy!" Natsu and his Exceed exclaimed simultaneously and Estelle's eyes widened when the blond grabbed a key.

"Open! Gate of the Ram! Aries!"
"I'm sorry!"

The Celestial Spirit Aries appeared next to Lucy with her wool-like clothing style, pink hair and twisted horns. "Aries! Please stop them!" Lucy said pointing at the gang of thieves on strange boars and she nodded.

"I'll try my best! I'm sorry!" She suddenly pulled her hands back and wool started to form in her hands, "Wool bomb!" She cried and shot the wool towards them. The wool surrounded them and lulled them in a relaxed state before the wool suddenly exploded with more power.

Everyone's eyes widened as the gang lay unconscious on the ground and Aries looked back at Lucy, "I'm sorry!" She said but Lucy quickly shook her head.

"Y-You stopped them…I didn't even know you can do that!" Lucy said while the two males held each other next to Estelle.

"I'm never messing with her!"
"Aye!"

Aries looked back before her and Estelle's eyes met while her eyes widened. Aries wanted to say something before a large boar broke through and the two females flew back. "Who did this to my men?!" The gang member on top of the boar roar and Lucy managed to grab another key.

"Open! Gate of the Golden Lion! Loke!"
"Yo, Lucy!"

Estelle's form froze completely and her face paled. Her heart beat sped up and her breathing started to get ragged. Queen! Stop it! Don't panic! Stay calm… Stay calm… Alexander tried to coax but it was no use.

"Aries!"
"Wool wall!"

A large wall of wool suddenly appeared in front of the boar and he was shot back by the sudden power while Loke jumped up. "Regulas Impact!" He dodged the oncoming punch with ease before making contact and the whole area exploded.

"Loke?!" Lucy exclaimed in shock at his power while Aries blocked the strong wind with her wool wall. Natsu and Happy dug their feet into the ground as they tried to stay put while Estelle covered her eyes with her hands.

"Oops, look like I overdid it a bit" Loke said innocently as he rubbed the back of his head and descended towards the ground.

"Since when did you guys have a boost in power?" Lucy asked and Aries looked down shyly.

"I-It's not that. I'm sorry!" She said and glanced back while Loke looked at his hands.

"I think I've felt this before but it only means that…" His eyes widened when he followed Aries' glance and his eyes locked with Estelle's.

"Huh? Who are you?" Lucy asked and Estelle suddenly took s step back, her face pulled in a terror expression.

She suddenly turned around and ran away, "Estelle! Wait!" Loke suddenly ran after her and they left the others dumbstruck.

"Loke wait!" Aries shook her head at Lucy and Lucy looked at her confused.

"Estelle-sama's a good friend that Nii-sama hasn't seen in a long time. It's best we leave them…I'm sorry!" Aries said and Lucy looked back at the forest.

"If you say so…Thank you for everything, Aries" Lucy said and the Celestial Spirit nodded with a smile before disappearing.

"Now, we go after Loke!" Lucy said and Natsu nodded with happy before they ran after Loke.

Get yourself under control, Queen… Calm down… Calm down…

"Estelle! Please wait!" Estelle kept running with all she had and her speed increased but Loke was persistent.

I-I can't! Please, Alex. Switch! Estelle said and her counterpart's eyes widened.

W-What are you saying?! Did you forget about the others that are also looking for you as we speak?! Moreover if they- Alexander stopped talking when he felt the tears cascade down her face.

Please… She pleaded and he growled.

Fine, until you finally decide to calm down.

A bright light exploded from Estelle and it momentarily blinded Loke before Alexander calmly stepped out. Loke's eyes widened while Alexander's gaze burned into his, "Alex, Please let me talk to Estelle" Alexander crossed his arms over his chest and huffed.

"Well, you can't really talk to her when she's in this mess. Idiot, how do think this will go? That you'll just run up towards her and laugh like old times?" Alexander growled and Loke looked down while letting his shoulders slump.

"I-I guess I thought something like that… I didn't mean to upset her!" Loke said and Alexander rolled her eyes.

"That clearly didn't work. What's your plan B?" Alexander mocked and Loke frowned deeply.

"Alex, you know it wasn't my intend to… Well, I couldn't believe I would live! But a friend of mine saved me and when I finally was back, I heard that she had returned to the Dragon Realm" Loke said and Alexander could feel Estelle slowly calm down.

"Estelle… I'm sorry for what I put you through and I hope you can forgive me" Loke said while Alexander frowned slightly.

"The reason she returned was because of you. She actually believed you to be dead and mourned until she was finally ready to go back after I forced her hand. Tch, you really did a piece of work on her" Alexander said and Loke smiled slightly.

"I'm glad that she came back again"
"So am I"
"Has she found anyone yet?"

Alexander snorted before Loke's friends came in from behind him and Alexander glanced back to his team of Sabertooth before cursing. "Hey! You better do something about this Lion!" Alexander said pointing at Loke and he gaped at Alexander.

"Alex-sama!" Alexander glanced back at Yukino and saw the perplexed facial expressions of the Twin Dragons along with the rest of them.

"Tch, what a pain" A wind suddenly picked up from around him and Loke's eyes widened.

"Wait-!"
"Lion, not today"

Loke's face fell but he nodded vaguely, "I'll see her again, right?" he asked and Alexander smirked.

"She also asks the same. So I believe you will" He suddenly took to the sky and vanished in a blink of an eye.

"Yukino, you know him?" Rogue asked looking at the white-haired beauty and she nodded.

"Yes, he's a good friend of Estelle-sama" Yukino explained while Sting growled.

"That's a lie" He said and their eyes widened while Yukino swallowed hard.

"Yukino, what are you not telling us? Why does he smell like Blue-eyes?" Sting asked sternly and Yukino looked down in shame.

"I-I can't explain that"
"Yes, you can"
"I promised-!"
"I don't care"

Rogue glared at Sting who ignored his partner and his face stayed the same anger. "Estelle-sama should tell you this! It's not my place to tell you!" Yukino said and Sting looked back at the team of Fairy Tail, his eyes catching one person in particular.

"Then I know who will" He said and Yukino's eyes widened.

"Don't! Please, Sting-sama!" She said and Sting's face softened slightly.

"I-I'll tell you if you promise to leave the others out from this conversation"

"Have you finally calmed down, Queen?" Alexander asked as he handed Estelle a warm cup of tea as she sat in his lounge inside their mind.

"I guess…" Alexander growled at her comment and sat down on his royal leathered chair.

"Don't give me that, idiot. You were practically losing your mind in panic and if you're still in that hyperventilating state, you aren't permitted to leave this place" Alexander said in a low dangerous voice and Estelle smiled slightly.

"I'm fine, just a little shaken" She murmured and he grunted.

"Well, drink up before you leave. I'm sure everyone's so confused you could kill them and they wouldn't even know if they died." Alexander said and chuckled in amusement.

"I should probably go and explain everything to Blondie and the others. Moreover, I should go see Leo" Alexander rolled his eyes.

"Don't look like someone just died. After you told these Dragon Slayers what they need to know, take a break. Despite you being at the Guild for merely two weeks, doesn't mean you can't take some time off" Estelle smiled softly at Alexander and he quirked an eyebrow.

"You seem to have gotten a good trait"
"Oh? And what trait might that me?"
"To be kind"
"Tch, whatever"

Estelle chuckled at him and finished the tea while she stared at the cup. "How come I can't taste anything?" Alexander sighed and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Because it's inside your mind. You can't literary taste it on your lips" Estelle nodded before standing up.

"I guess I should head back"
"I disagree, but do as you wish"
"Thank you"
"For what?"

Estelle shrugged, "For everything." She said and he growled at her.

"Go back already! You're starting to freak me out!" Alexander snapped and Estelle chuckled before vanishing in a bright light.

She opened her eyes as she sat on the bed and looked at the keys that she held in her hands. They gleamed slightly in the last light of the day that came in through the window. The door suddenly creaked open and Estelle's eyes shifted towards a familiar figure in the doorway.

"Blondie?" Sting grunted as he walked inside and closed the door. Estelle looked down and put her keys onto the cupboard before glancing at Sting.

"Listen, I know you're probably really mad at me but I have to tell you something before you-" Sting shook his head.

"Yukino told us everything" Estelle's eyes widened and she heard a mental growl before looking down in shame. "Why didn't you tell us?" Sting asked not moving from his position as he stared at Estelle.

"Believe it or not, I was scared of what you might say or do…" Estelle murmured and Sting sighed.

"Listen here, Blue-eyes. It scared the shit out of me when I smelled your scent over the guy I think whose name is…Alex or something like that…" Sting said and Estelle looked up at him.

"I still can't read you"
"You don't have to"
"I don't but I want to"

Sting chuckled and moved to sit down next to Estelle. "So… You two are like one? That sounds hectic" Sting murmured looking at Estelle as a small smile spread onto her lips. "Kind of. Sometimes I feel like strangling him and sometimes he strangles me" Estelle said and Sting chuckled.

"I figured as much since I actually smelled two of you when we went to train" Estelle bit her lip and nodded vaguely. "Though, his smells more musky…" Estelle let out a giggle and Sting smirked.

"What's so funny?"
"It's amusing to see how you know our scents"
"At least I don't know how he kisses"

Estelle flushed and he chuckled while she glared at him. "Not fair" She snapped and he shrugged before seeing her face fall.

"Blondie… Are you alright with whom and what I am?" Her voice was barely louder than a whisper and Sting rolled his eyes.

"Just because you have some weird counterpart doesn't mean I lost everything I feel for you" He said softly and Estelle blushed slightly at his words while glancing at him.

"I can hear a tinge of jealousy inside your voice, Blondie" Estelle said and Sting shrugged.

"That's because I don't want anyone taking what I see as mine" He said and Estelle gaped at him while playfully punching him.

"I'm not a thing! I'm a person! Jerk!" She yelled at him and he flinched at her high pitch yell.

"I didn't mean it like that" Estelle huffed and crossed her arms over her chest before turning her back to him. "Come on! You know I didn't mean it like that!" Estelle didn't even bother to look at him and Sting smirked before suddenly grabbing her from behind.

Estelle yelped as she hit his hard chest and he nuzzled himself in her hair that fell from her shoulders down. "Are you mad at me?" Sting asked and glanced at Estelle whose face was crimson colored.

"I'm trying real hard to be but you're not playing fair" Estelle said and pouted making Sting growl low in his throat.

"You're pouting again…" He breathed into her ear and kissed her collarbone seductively.

"I-I c-can't help it" She said and heard a chuckle come from Sting. He took in a deep breath of her scent and groaned, "I can never get enough of this scent nor can I ever get enough from you" Sting said before smelling something salty and saw tears fall from her eyes.

"Hey! I don't cry!"
"I'm not crying because I'm sad, Blondie"

Estelle turned back towards him before crushing him in an embrace and he choked slightly. "Thank you" She sobbed and Sting's face softened as he lifted her up.

"Sure, Blue-eyes" He said and wiped her tears away before kissing her passionately.

She brought her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. He gently pushed her down onto the back and broke the kiss as he towered her. The broke apart breathing hard, both with flushed faced before he lay next to her and pulled her into his embrace.

"It's been a long day, we should get some rest"
"Yeah…Blondie?"
"Mmm?"

Estelle kissed him briefly before snuggling in his embrace, "Please don't ever leave my side" She said and Sting chuckled. "I don't plan on it."
