Lucy the Dragon Slayer
Chapter 12 ~ Strange scent
A/N: Hey, So sorry that I haven't updated any of my stories in ages! I've had my hands full with school work and music rehearsals (I have a concert soon). I thought I might take this opportunity to answer a few of your questions.
I'm not sure as of yet whether or not I will be including romance. When I first wrote out the story line I didn't plan any but I might be able to weasel some in!
To that guest who asked if this is going to be a multi paring story, probably not. The only way that is going to happen is if a get a sudden burst of inspiration, a lot of time and no homework.
As many of you have been asking, yes Lucy will be participating, and i'm writing it now.
As to why Lucy doesn't have an Exceed….Well I kind of left them out of this story, all of them. I feel really bad about it but I can't really introduce them so close to the climax!
Thank you also to all the fabulous people who are following and Faving! I will update when I can!
Lucy P.O.V.
The first thing I noticed when I entered the arena was the scent. It was unfamiliar, not that thats unusual, there's a whole heap of strange people in the stands, but this one was different. I looked over at Wendy and Natsu-nii but it didn't seem like they noticed anything. I looked behind us at the B team and Gajeel and Laxus didn't seem as if anything had changed.
"You guys go ahead, I need to cheek something."
"But Luce, you're new to the arena and stuff and those Sabertooth bastards might try to get you because they think you're weak cos you're new."
"Natsu-nii."
"You're like a little sis to me, I don't ant to risk anything happening to you." He replied as her grabbed my arm.
"Sorry Nii-san, I didn't want to use this." I closed my eyes and when I opened them, they were gold.
"Natsu, go ahead. Do not stop me or follow me. The same goes for the rest of you."
"Ugh." Grunted Natsu, gajeel and Laxus (it was an 'eep' for Wendy) as they were forced to their knees.
"Yes your Highness. As you command." They all said in unison. I flinch slightly at the response but it was necessary. To save them and myself from further embarrassment, I turn myself into star dust and dissipate with the wind.
Natsu P.O.V.
'What the hell was that? Suddenly her eyes were gold and I had no control over myself.'
"Gee flame brain, whadya do to make bunny girl use that?"
"Nothing tin can. She just wanted to go somewhere and I objected because of all the nasty Sabers around."
"Well, whatever she wanted to do must have been pretty important for her to use her Royal Powers." Said Laxus.
"I wonder what Lucy-ne wanted to do so badly…?" queried Wendy.
Throughout the whole spectacle, Erza, Grey, Mira, Gildarts and Cana looked at each of them and shrugged.
"Dragon Slayers"
Lucy P.O.V.
I didn't want to use that on Natsu-nii but I didn't have time to argue. I need to find that scent. Travelling in my star dust form, though useful because I can fit through anything even the eye of a needle, takes a lot of concentration. Not only am I having to keep myself in this form but I also need to control the wind so I can move around. I follow the scent to, surprisingly, the Sabertooth stand. Where I see Rufus, Orga, Sting, Rogue and…a clocked person! I analyse it more closely. Female, same age as the shadow and light slayers, and definitely the one i'm getting the scent from. Hmm, Dragon Slayer ehh? This is going to be interesting. I notice Rogue's nose twitch.
"Who's there? You cant hide from the nose of a Dragon Slayer."
"I know that all too well, son of Skiadrum." My voice drifts over to him on the wind. The use on dragon tongue and his father's name startles him and he narrows his eyes in my general direction.
"Sting."
"Yeah, I heard it, you?" he says nudging the clocked figure.
"I noticed her before you did."
"Her?" both boys say astounded.
"Don't worry," she says turning in my direction, "I know who you are but I wont tell these idiots, so you can reveal yourself at will."
"My thanks Slayer."
I use the wind to steer myself away but at the same time allow myself to hear their voices.
"What the hell! Who was that? Why could't I pin point it? See it even? And how did it know dragon tongue?" asks Sting angrily.
"I don't know, I couldn't either, I couldn't either and she must have some relations to dragons or she wouldn't know it." Rogue replies monotonously.
"Oh."
I steered myself near Master Mavis and Master Macarov before materialising. Their eyes widening at my sudden appearance.
"My child, what was that? I couldn't feel anything, then suddenly your magical presence is behind me."
"Oh, don't worry about it Master, just one of my abilities. I can turn in to stardust and move myself around using the wind. Anyway, there's something I think you two should know."
"What is it?"
"Three."
"Huh?"
"Sabertooth, they have three slayers."
"…What the hell? When did that happen? No! I can see it now! All the prize money slipping awa - I mean, the stain on our pride!" Cries Master Macarov.
"Thank you Lucy. I will add this to my calculations." Says Master Mavis.
"No problem," I reply. "I'll return to my team."
"That would be wise, the games are about to start."
