It's been several months since I arrived in Magnolia. I met more new people during those months.

There was Lisanna Strauss. She had silver hair with blue sapphire eyes. She always wore a bright pink shirt and tight black jeans with black flats. She adored animals, had a boyfriend named Bixlow, two weird siblings, and had a job in the animal shelter.

Mirajane Strauss. Looked like an older version of Lisanna, except she had longer hair then her sister. Her boyfriend was named Laxus, she had a demon side, she was crazy about couples, and was great at cooking.

Elfman Strauss. Had spiky hair silver hair, black eyes, and a scar over one of his eyes. He was really sweet, always said man for no reason, had his eyes set on a certain girl which he wouldn't tell to anyone, and was as good at cooking as Mira.

Cana Alberona. She had dark brown hair with brown eyes. She drank beer all the time, was always getting up everyone's ass, her boyfriend was Bacchus, and had an obsessed father.

Juvia Lockster. Had blue wavy hair with dark blue eyes. She loved the beach, anything to do with water, she had a boyfriend that I heard was coming soon, and worked at the aquarium.

Sting Eucliffe. Blonde hair and aqua eyes. He seemed really nice, had a cat name Lector, and seems to be have been nervous every time I see him.

Rouge Cheney. Black hair with red eyes. Never talked to anyone, was close to Sting, had a cat named Frosh, and was recently looking for a girl to love (cheesy right?).

I still haven't met Laxus or Bixlow yet, but I heard that they were both sweet and kind. I was recently humming as I walked down the hallways. It Wednesday and already was having a pretty good day, for the most part anyways. I heard there was a new transfer student coming but I haven't seen him yet.

Entering the cafeteria I saw a group of people around the table I always sat at. "What's going on?" I mumbled. "No idea." A voice behind me said making me jump. Looking over my shoulder I saw Natsu looking as confused as I was. "Maybe the new student?" Erza piped up. When did she get here?!

"Gray-sama!" Juvia screamed as she ran past us. The group seemed to have parted to reveal a raven-haired man. He had darker blue eyes then Juvia, seemed buffed up, and seemed cool to the bone.

I started trailing after the bluenette slowly. When I was standing right next to Juvia I noticed everyone from our group followed us. Juvia seemed to notice our presence because she started beaming brightly and said, "Minna! This is Gray-sama. Gray-sama, this is my friends'."

He looked up to study us. He gave a curt nod and a quiet 'Yo' to us before returning his attention to Juvia. Well ain't he nice? I thought bitterly. Now that I knew him for three minute I already knew his only interest right was Juvia.

"LUCY!" I heard someone yelling my name. I groaned. I already knew who it was. As predicted, he glomped me and held me tightly. "You know how long it took for me to find you? Forever! Like, how did you expect me to find you in this crowd?!" he cried out. "I don't know." I mumbled. Man was he annoying.

He glanced up to Gray. His look became curious and grim. "Leo?" I asked, tugging his sleeve. He hummed, still studying the raven-haired boy. "It's not nice to stare you know." His gaze snapped to me and raised a brow at me.

Shaking his head he left me looking after him. "Strange." I mumbled. "Oi, blonde." Gray called. "It's Lucy." Sting grumbled under his breath. I raised a brow at Gray, waiting for him to continue. "Is you buddy okay there?" he asked. I shrugged at that. How would I know what got up his ass?

The bell rang signaling that lunch was over. I groaned inwardly, I didn't get to eat my bento! The hell? Grumbling, I walked to class with Sting and Natsu following me arguing about something.

Leo's POV

That boy, he reminded me too much of him. I thought about it for the rest of the day. This time I found Lucy first before she got angry with me for not finding me again.

Dragging her to the parking lot, we both climbed into our cars and started driving. I turned up the radio. "Important new," a voice spoke through the radio. No! My favorite song was on until this voice interrupted me!

"There's has been three murders in the last hour here in Magnolia." I slammed my foot on my breaks making my car come to a screeching stop. I heard Princess's car stop behind me, her shouting what was going on. I shook my head and started moving the car forward again. It was just a coincidence right? "People say that the people were drunk and might've had a serious fight. We're still investigating the new found story, stay tune to see what happens next." Hearing that made me feel better a bit. It might've not been him.

I pulled up in the driveway to see Jude leaving for the year. I saw Lucy jump out of the car and run up to hug him. I watched the scene fold in front of me but the new student and the recent deaths were still in my mind.

Lucy POV

I waved as I watched dad pull out of the driveway. When he has gone I turned to Leo who was deep in thought. "Leo?" I called out. He looked up to meet my gaze. "Why did you stop earlier?" I asked. He shrugged, "Nothing to worry about Princess, now go do your homework. Dinner should be done in a few." He dismissed himself as he walked into the house.

Climbing the stairs to my room I plopped down onto my bed and closed my eyes. I was beyond tired right now; before I knew it everything went black.

~X~

"C'mon Lucy, you have to meet him!" a young Leo yelled happily as he dragged me through the dirt road. I was smiling widely as he pulled me into the barn that he trained in.

When I entered I saw someone I've never seen before. He had black hair with matching eyes. His clothes were practically rags and cloth. He seemed focused on a punching bag in front of him at the moment.

"Zeref!" Leo called. The boy turned to look at us. When our eyes met something pink went over his cheeks. Was he blushing? "Zeref, this is Lucy. Remember dad said that you were going to protect her?" the boy nodded bashfully. "Lucy, this is Zeref. He's going to be your new body guard along with me when we get older." I smiled at him kindly.

For the rest of the time they explained to me what happened to him. Mr. Derek Stellar (father of Leo and Loke Stellar) found him on the streets starving. They took him in and were planning to train to become my other bodyguard along with Leo.

The last thing I remembered was the two kids smiling before a loud scream interrupted the nice atmosphere.

~X~

"Lucy!" someone screamed my name. I shot up from bed sweating. Leo was in front of me giving me a worried look. "Did you have a bad dream?" he asked softly. I shook my head, "No, it was a good dream. There was you, I, and this other boy. What was his name again? I think it started with a Z? But besides that, the thing that got me scared was a scream at the end." I explained as I tapped my chin, trying to remember the name of the other boy.

Leo tensed up at that. "Leo?" he shook his head. "Dinner's ready." He left the room. What's up with him?

~X~

The next week I walked into school humming happily. I suddenly fell to my face with an 'oof'. Laughs erupted around me. Looking up I was met by a smirking Angel. "Why hello there slut. How's it going?" she suddenly kicked me making me cough and sputter.

"Hey!" a loud voice bellowed. The girls screamed and started running away in fear. "Wha-" a hand was shoved into my face. I looked up to see a black haired man with piercings all over his face. "You gonna accept my offer or what?" he asked in a scratchy voice. I nodded and took his hand. Pulling me up he just left me standing there watching him in confusion.

I shrugged it off and walked to first period.

Leo POV

I pulled Gray behind the building with him screaming at me. Pushing him against the wall he glared at me. "What the hell man?!" he screamed at me.

I gritted my teeth. "Don't fuck with me!" I screamed. "The deaths. There was three yesterday but now ten the past week? One of them a student here, do you know anything about it?" Gray shot him a look. "No, why would I, I've been here for a week and you suspect me that I know about the killing's here?!"

"Yes! You arrived at the exact time the killings started! You're a suspect now to me! I'm not going to believe the bullshit that comes out of your mouth." He yelled before walking away. "Whoa man! You got it all wrong! I wouldn't kill anyone I swear!" Gray called after him. But it went to false ears.
