Travel Northwest into the desert from the small town of Fiore, and eventually you will come to Devil's River. In the 1830s a famous and rich horseracer named Jude Heartfilia and his wife Layla Heartfilia settled where Dry Creek runs into Devil's River. He and Layla build a cabin from brush, and near it they put up an arbor to give them shade. Layla Heartfilia became pregnant. When she was ready to have their child, Jude Heartfilia raced on horseback to their nearest neighbors, several miles away.

Jude: "My wife is having a baby. Can you help us ?"

They agree to come at once. As they got ready to leave, a violent storm came up and a bolt of lightning struck and killed Jude Heartfilia. The man, Zeref, and his wife, Mavis, managed to find his cabin, but did not arrive until the next day. By then Layla Heartfilia was dead, too. It looked as if she had given birth before she died, but Zeref and his wife Mavis could not find the baby. Since there were wolf tracks all around, they decided the wolves had eaten it. They buried Layla Heartfilia and left. A number of years after she died, people began to tell a strange tale. Some swore it was a true story. Others said it never could have happened.

The story begins in a small settlement a dozen miles from Layla Heartfilia's grave. Early one morning a pack of wolves raced in from the desert and killed some goats. Such attacks were not unusual in those days. But a boy named Romeo Conbolt thought he saw a naked young girl with long blonde hair running with the wolves. A year or two later, a woman named Bisca, and her husband, named Alzack, both came upon some wolves eating a goat they had just killed. Eating the goat with them, she claimed, was a naked young girl with long blonde hair. When the wolves and the girl saw the couple they fled. Bisca said that at first the girl ran on all fours. Then she stood and ran like a human, swiftly as the wolves. People started wondering if this "wolf girl" was Jude and Layla Heartfilia's daughter. Had a mother wolf carried her off the day she was born and raised her with her pups? If so, by now she would be 17 or 18 years old.

As the story is told, a group of seven Bounty Hunters who call themselves The Dragon Slayers, began to look for the girl. They search along the riverbanks and in the desert and its canyons. And one day, it is said they found her walking in a canyon with a wolf at her side. When the wolf ran off, the girl hid in an opening in one of the canyon walls.

Natsu: "There she is !"

Rouge: "OK guys be care when your catching her."

Sting: "Right ! She maybe a human, but in a way, she still a wild animal."

When The Dragon Slayers tried to capture her, she fought back, biting and scratching like an enraging animal.

Gajeel: "Gah !"

Wendy: "Gajeel ! Are you alright ?!"

Gajeel: "Yeah, I think so. It's just a scratch. Man, her nails are even sharp as a wolf."

Wendy: "Hang on I'll get the aid kit and treat your wounds."

While Wendy went to treat Gajeel's wounds, the rest of The Dragon Slayers finally subdued the wolf girl, she began screaming like a frightened young girl and howling like a frightened young wolf. The Dragon Slayers bound her with rope, put her across a horse, and took her to a small ranch house in the desert.

Natsu: "So Laxus, what do we do with the wolf girl when we get back in town ?"

Laxus: "We'll turn her over to the sheriff."

Erik: "Yeah, hopefully we'll get a large amount of money for turning her over."

Laxus: "OK Natsu, I want you and Gajeel to place her in that empty room and then untie her. She'll be in there until tommorow when we head back to town."

Natsu and Gajeel did what Laxus said, when they placed her in the empty room and untied her, she is terror-stricken and hid in the shadows. They left her and locked the door. She was screaming and howling again. The Dragon Slayers thought they would go mad listening to her, but at least she's stopped. When night fell, wolves begin howling in the distance. People say that each time they stopped, the girl howl in reply. As The story goes, the cries of wolves came from every direction and got closer and closer. Suddenly, as if a signal had been given, wolves attacked the horses and other livestock.

Laxus: "Everyone grab your guns wolves are attacking the farm !"

Gajeel: "Hey you hear that salamander ? Grab your gun and let's go !"

Natsu: "I know, I'm already fired up."

The Dragon Slayers rushed into the darkness, firing their guns at the wolves. High up in the wall, in the room where they had left the girl, was a small window. A plank was nailed crossed it. She pulled the plank off, crawled through the window, and disappeared.

After The Dragon Slayers fought off the wolves, one of them, Wendy, went to go check on the wolf girl. When she checked the room she found out the wolf girl disappeared. She ran to the others and told them the news.

Wendy: "Guys ! The wolf girl, she gone !"

Sting: "What ?!"

Rouge: "But how ?"

Laxus: "How did she escape ?"

Wendy: "The plank that was nailed crossed the window was pulled off. She must of pulled it off and crawled out the window, while we were fighting off the wolves."

Erik: "There goes our money."

Natsu: "What now Laxus ?"

Gajeel: "Should we go after her ?"

Laxus stood there thinking for a brief moment and replied.

Laxus: "No. We'll let her off the hook. It was a pain founding her and capturing her. Plus, I realize it would be hard for her to live among us human, even though she human but she's mostly animal than human."

After that, the Dragon Slayers head back to town and told people about what happen to them that day. Since then The Dragon Slayer personally name the wolf girl, Lucy.

Years passed with no word of the girl. Then one day a trapper named Gray Fullbuster, and his girlfriend, Juvia Lockser, were on horseback came around a bend in the Fiore's Rio Grande, not far from Devil's River. The couple claimed they saw a grown woman with long blonde hair feeding two wolf pups. When she saw the couple, she snatched up the pups and ran into the bush. The couple rode after her, but she quickly left them behind. The couple searched and searched, but found no trace of her. That is the last we know of the wolf girl. And it is there, in the desert, near the Fiore's Rio Grande, that this story ends.
