[Author Note: This chapter will start the morning after. Only because I need to start somewhere and nothing I've been writing sound like they would be ok. I hope this chapter is good and stuff. I'm trying to take in to consideration the reviews that I got last chapter. I hope this one is better.]
I woke up the next morning sore. My whole body hurt. I sat up, listening to the howling wind outside. I shook my head trying to get the thought of a storm out of my head. I slid out of bed, doing my best to avoid waking a sleeping Laxus. He seemed so peaceful sleeping in bed. I turned away, going to the dresser at the end of the bed. I did my best to avoid making too much noise.
Collecting a shirt, pants and under clothes; I slipped out of the room. Walking down our hallway, I opened the door on the left and stepped into the bathroom. I placed one hand on the door and the other on the door handle. Closing the door slowly behind me. Using my hand on the door to make sure the door shut quietly. I turned to turn the water on. Allowing it time to heat up. I stepped inside. Washing away any trace of last night.
I stepped out after washing myself. My wet hair hung in my face. I wrapped a towel around my hair; using another to dry my body. Sliding on my under clothes. I sat on the toilet, sliding my pants up my slightly wet legs. Standing to try to get him past my hips. Jumping up and down to try to get them to fit. After struggling with my pants for what seemed like forever. I could finally finish getting ready. I grabbed my shirt, when I heard a knock at the door. I listened for a moment.
I heard rustling then the door opened. I assumed it was the Thunder Legion. They were the only ones with keys into our place. I slid my shirt on and left the bath to welcome them. Walking down a few steps down the hall. I saw Laxus standing in the hall. His back was to me. I was confused by this; he doesn't normally stand outside our room like that. From where he stood, he couldn't see the front door. Those that were at the door, couldn't see him either. Why would he be hiding from the Thunder Legion?
I stood in the hall, slowly making my way towards Laxus. When I was close enough I placed my hand on the small of his back. He spun around before pushing me in the room and shutting the door. Whoever was here; he didn't want them to know I was. I could hear a loud crash before Laxus's voice pierced the silence.
"What do you guys want? There's nothing for you dirt bags to inquire about. Nor is there any reason to pick my lock. Now, how about you stop trashing my apartment and tell me what you want!"
"Laxus, you've grown since the last time I saw you. You were such a stunning lad." A man's voice spoke.
"Tch, save it. You members of Raven Tail don't belong here. I want nothing to do with the man that calls me his son!"
"But dear Laxus, Master Ivan want's your help." A women's voice spoke this time.
"I don't care what he wants. Get out of my apartment, before I have to make you!"
"Feeble threats from a small dog." A new voice said; it sounded almost mechanical.
"This 'small dog' is going to show you the power of Fairy Tail!"
"Laxus, please listen to our request. We didn't come here to start a fight. We came to ask if you've seen someone." The female's voice spoke again. Her tone was almost seductive.
"Who? Someone who has my father as an enemy. They aren't a threat to me or Fairy Tail. Now get out." I could tell by his tone, Laxus was getting angry.
"Laxus dear, we are looking for a girl. Her power is unmatched. Even for a Dragon Slayer like yourself."
"A girl has these power?"
"Yes, handy little thing. We heard she's a member of Fairy Tail. So we assumed you would help us. You see…she's dangerous. Her very existence…is an abomination."
"Who or what is this girl?"
"Or information says her name is Shay. She's new to Fairy Tail, but her name is known everywhere by now." My eyes widened as the female spoke my name. They were looking for me. Then Laxus asked what I was thinking.
"What do you want from her?"
"You know her…that is what our information said. Now, tell us where we can find her." The mechanical voice said.
"I won't tell you anything. She is a member of Fairy Tail, which means I'm willing to give my life for hers."
"That's a foolish choice."
"Foolish for you maybe; something my 'father' doesn't seem to understand. It doesn't matter how many people he sends. No one will harm Fairy Tail as long as I'm around!"
"We don't have time to play; Lord Ivan will want an update and since we know she is close enough for this boy to give his life for hers. Well, I'm sure the Lord will be pleased indeed." The mechanical voice spoke before I heard another loud bang. After a moment or two Laxus opened the door. He looked down at me before offering his hand to me.
I took his hand and stood up. I looked into his eyes; and instead of his usual laid back self, he seemed worried about me. Just like on our last mission.
