xoxoxo

I hummed happily as I walked down the familiar streets of Magnolia. The sun blazed above me and birds sang happily. A beautiful occasion on a beautiful day. My luggage trudged behind me, this being my second trip to Liam's house. I didn't have much belongings, so this would be my last round. Of course, my throat ached from the LONG talk I had to have with my parents last night. And, to be honest, I felt selfish doing this. I had only just got back and now I was moving out into Liam's home. AND I was doing this only a week after mom lost the baby. Yeah, tears were shed last night. But in the end, mom and dad (mostly mom) understood I was in love with Liam. I have been for almost all my life. It was surreal that now we were dating. I was moving in.

I rounded a corner and saw the sign directing me to Steel Street. I waved at familiar neighbors and laughed when they winked at me, with the knowing look. Of course they were referring to how I was moving in, and what people assume people 'do' when they move in together. However, Liam and I have never done 'it'. And I want to keep it that way for a while. I'm still scared. I don't think I'll ever be able to leave my past behind me. I still wake up some nights screaming from the nightmares. But, life goes on.

Suddenly, just as I was about to round the corner to Liam's house, I felt something. My stomach started churning and I got the bad butterflies, like something bad was about to happen. I realized I had started growling, and scales were forming along my arms. Only one thought circled my mind. 'MINE'. I bounded the corner, prepared for whatever life was throwing at me now. But nothing could prepare me for what lied ahead. A tall, beautiful woman with long blond hair had her arms around MY Liam, as they were in the mist of a passionate kiss. Liam's arms were rapped around her waist and his eyes were wide open in surprise.

Ba dum, ba dum, ba dum, ba dum. My heartbeat racked my body, louder than ever.

Yes, usually I would take into account that his eyes were open. I would convince myself that was a clue he didn't want to be kissing her.

But now, I took into account I was five feet away. I knew he could smell me, and if he loved me like I loved him, he would feel my presence as something that could not be looked over. I was there. So, why was his eyes still locked onto the beauty in front of him? Why was he still kissing her?

I backed away slowly, gut retching and eyes flooding. I left my suitcase there, I didn't care anymore. I ran, hoping I would at least hear Liam chasing after me, hoping he would at least show something to prove his feelings for me. But I guess they weren't there, because the only thing I heard besides my heart beat and my feet upon the pavement was the concerned voices of the neighbors. The neighbors for god's sake.

The sun suddenly seemed less bright, and the birds seemed more quiet. My feet stopped when I felt the presence of Fairy Tail ahead of me. I wiped my tears, looking bleary eyes at the building I called home. I couldn't help it, I leaned over a bush and promptly puked. I fell to my knees as it finally sunk in. A girl who was better than me, kissed Liam, and he liked it. The scales that had formed on my arms now felt like needles sticking into my skin, and the same thought pounded through my mind. 'MINE'. However, now pictures came with the word. Gruesome images. Suicide, death, murder, pain.

What's happening to me?!

The pain was so great, I couldn't move from my position. I stayed there, staring at the bush I had just puked in, right in front of the guild doors. Surprisingly, it was Uncle Gajeel who found me. Just the person I 'wanted' to see.

He saw my condition and simply said, "What did Liam do now?"

He carried me inside and set me on the table.

I heard people running around trying to help me, asking whats wrong, and stuff like that.

But it was just a blur in the back of my mind.

Someone put a blanket around my shoulders and a bucket in my hands, which I thus puked in.

The scene ran over again and again in my mind, them, kissing. Liam, kissing another girl. It was torture.

"Gajeel! Explain what's happening!" I heard Aunt Mira command.

"She's gone under. Opulus Conova." I heard the guild gasp.

Opulus Conova?

"What did Liam do?!" Aunt Levy huffed.

"No one can tell Natsu. He'll go insane, no matter what Liam did. Opulus Conova is dangerous. Without the right treatment, Luna could die."

"Wait, what's Opulus Conova?" Mulan asked.

"It's a sickness dragon slayers go under when their mate, or future mate has touched someone else. In a romantic way. It can last up to two painful days. It's gonna be hard for Luna." Gajeel explained.

"What do we do?" Simon asked.

"We need Freed, a couple more buckets, seven pounds of cucumbers and dragon fruit, and someone to guard the guild from Liam. Luna can't see him, she could break."

I puked once more. What if I'm already broken?
