Yeah sure xD ONWARDS TO NARNIIIIAAAAAAA
NARNIA AWAITS US! *flies away*
Happy's POV
The trip out of Fiore wasn't that bad, you don't see why those guys make such a big deal about the train and such. Though you had an odd feeling about this quest…..you don't think that it was Kiora at all, you mean it was kind of weird and all to not have Lucy here but sometimes the change is nice. It was just some weird feeling in your belly about the mission that was throwing you off.
"Happy! you're going to hit the tr-" BAM Natsu tried to warn you…
"OwwwwwwWWwwww Natsuuuuuuu you big meanie! Why didn't you warn me ahead of time!" You held onto your nose as the pain set in. He could've been a bit more quick with the way that he warned you.
"I tried but you completely ignored me." He gave a chuckle, glancing back every now and then at Kiora.
He seems to be off lately...and you can't quite put your paw on it. hmmmmm.
Kiora's POV
I chuckled lightly at Natsu and Happy's bickering. It was nice to know they didn't mean it. I was even more glad to be off that god forsaken train.
"Do you guys always fight like this?" I laughed, something I had not done in front of them before. I quickly remembered my past and slowly closed my mouth, thinking. I lifted up my hands and looked at them.
Flashback
"You're so weird!"
"Freak!"
"Hey look, Kiora can use magic!" I remember hearing, their mocking voices bounce off the walls. One kid came over to me and pushed me to the floor. I fell down but in defense, I raised my hand and accidentally shot a bolt of Ice at him. He jumped back, screaming for the Orphan Mother.
"Kiora tried to hurt me!" the kid cried at the Orphan Mother. I scoffed and the Orphan Mother looked over to me with a deadly glare.
"Kiora, to my office. Now!" She stormed into her office and I cautiously walked in.
"You know what happens when you use magic, or hurt anyone here." Her Orphan Mother devilishly grinned and pulled out a small, sharp, whip. I flinched back, knowing what was coming and stepped back a little. My heart tore as a strong mans hands gripped my shoulders. Our Orphan Dad was home. I gulped and shyed my head away. The left side of my neck was open and the Orphan Mother took the chance to crack the small whip down on my collar bone. The whip left a medium sized, burning scar from the middle of my left shoulder to the back of my neck. My Orphan Dad let me go and I ran outside. I sat under a lightly leafed tree and cried. I seemed to be crying a lot lately. The rain soaked my clothes and I slowly fell asleep to the pitter patter of rain drops on the pavement.
End of Flashback
We were still walking by the time I jumped out of my memories. I rubbed my left shoulder/neck, the mark stinging from the flashback. I noticed we had stopped. Natsu and Happy were looking at me with their heads tilted. Their faces showing slight confusion.
Natsu's POV
You hadn't realized it till now but you had no idea where it was you were supposed to be going. The job description just said that the thieves were somewhere in the woods. Your face scrunched up as you thought of how you were going to find them, maybe Kiora might know.
"Yo, any idea where these guys might be?" You asked and waited a little bit, though when she didn't respond you turned around and looked to her. She looked as though she was lost in thought….very painful thoughts. Your belly stormed with the urge to hurt whatever had hurt her, though you pushed it aside, waiting for her to come out of the area of gods know whe-What was that smell?
"Quick! Get him! He might have Jewel!" It was male, there were others as well.
"Heh, that little girl could go for a quick buck."
"Damn that cat looks tasty."
"Shut up George!"
A fire boiled in your belly and your eyes narrowed to slits as you tried to pinpoint the area of the voices before they all came out towards them. You looked back to Kiora to see her gesturing to be quiet. She looked around, her eyes sharp, and pointed towards a tree then nods.
With a deep breath you pounded your fists together, feeling your fire course through your veins as you position your fists in front of your mouth before blowing out a steady roar of fire at said tree.
Various screams could be heard as they either jumped out or fell out. Though there was one you noticed, in the far bushes just seeming to be hiding. A small black beanie poking out, little orange hairs making themselves visible, you prepared to fire another shot.
"In the bushes!" Kiora's eyes shoot to the bushes and she gasps slightly.
"Wait!" she yells, but is too late. You release the fire in your belly onto the bush. As quick as lightning, Kiora delves into bush, which is in coming danger of the fire, and disappears. The fire hits the bush as Kiora is behind it.
"Kiora!" Fear strikes your stomach as you stop what you are doing and run over to the poor destroyed bush. "Kiora!?" you shout but don't see anything but a burnt ground. You hear a slight chuckle and turn. Kiora stands behind you with the male who was hiding behind the bush in her arms. She sets him down and nods at him.
The male seems to play with his sleeves nervously, you can smell the fear coming off of him and immediately you have the strongest urge to attack. Though he sits there and twiddles his thumbs slightly, his pink eyes darting nervously from Kiora to you before looking down at his feet.
"Scared for your little girlfriend?" one of the thieves laugh. Kiora glares over at them and forms eight small ice knives of her ice magic. She throws them, four in each hand, with deadly precision and pins the thief onto a tree. Two ice knives poking very close to his skin in each limb.
You seem confused for a second, brushing it off and turning back to the male from before, though he seems to have ran away.
"Awww, I wanted to fight! Why does everyone have to run?" You pouted and tried to see if you could find his scent. Suddenly, Kiora puts an arm up to block you. She looks over to you with a look you have never seen before, anger.
"You might be my closest friend, but he was the one who saved me from my hell of a life. I won't let you hurt him, but I would never want to hurt you either." her voice is filled with ferocity and she puts her arm down.
Confusion returned to your face, it's been a rather confusing day.
"Why?" You asked, trying to rid some of the confusion.
"Why what?" Kiora sighs and asks.
"Why can't we go after him? We have to clear the thieves. And he is one of them."
She chuckles a bit, "We can go after him, just don't harm him. I have a feeling he is not as cold hearted as these thieves." She points to the thief still pinned against the tree, a scent of fear flowing from him. She starts to slowly walk, following his scent trail.
"...But what if he fights back? We will have to fight then! HAHA." And with that you were off, trying to find this scaredy cat! You jerk back as someone grabs the back of your shirt, slowing you.
"If he tries to fight, please let me handle it." She asks quietly.
Happy flew down next to you and you both exchanged the same look before heading off to find the thief.
Thieves POV
You weren't all to sure why you were running. You had finally found Kiora, though the other guy….He made you pretty damn terrified. You weren't really all to sure what type of Magic he uses, and you weren't really planning on sticking around and finding out. So you ran.
Yes you are a coward. But you didn't want to fight. You only became a thief so that you could survive, you didn't want to hurt people..Sure stealing is pretty hurtful but at least you didn't need to beat them to a bloody pulp.
A burning sensation started in your chest and you realized that you were still running. You figured that you were far enough away from the other two so you decided to take a seat and rest for a bit.
All the while you tried to figure out what type of magic that other guy used and how you could possibly beat it. You already had an advantage, considering it was fire and you were water...the only thing that seemed to have come to mind was to drown him...but that was just inhuman. What could you d-
"FOUND YOU! HAHAH! NOW PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A FIGHT!" The male from before came storming out of the bushes and prepared to lunge for you. Your pulse felt like a trapped bird in your throat and you froze in your place. Thinking of the only thing you could do you screamed.
"Kiora!"
"Otto!" She screamed back then turned to the male from before. She punched him in the side of the face.
"Natsu! What did I tell you!" She scolded playfully. Then turned to Otto and smiled.
The salmon colored haired male pouted and seemed to just sit there and steam for a bit, "But Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiioooooooooooorrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaa."
"Shush! Would you like it if I attacked one of your friends?" She teases then walks closer to you. She crouches down besides you and comfortingly puts her hand on your shoulder and smiles.
Third Person POV
Natsu frowns, watching them. He jumps out from the bush like a big show and practically yells.
"We are from Fairy Tail and we are going to wipe all of you thieves out!" with a challenging smile. Kiora rolls her eyes and helps Otto to his feet.
"Stay here for a second." she comforts and walks over to Natsu. She lightly slaps him on the back of his head. "I have know Otto fever since- nevermind. I have just known him for a long time and I know he is not the type of person to hurt someone." Natsu tilts his head in confusion.
"I know him so well I could probably guess why he is a thief. From experience, life without a job, guild, jewel, food, or shelter is a very hard life." She looks down at the grass then winces and touches the scar on her cheek.
He seems to contemplate this for a second before looking to the smaller boy. "Why don't you just join a guild then?"
The thief just stared at him like he had a third head and it seemed to confuse Natsu even more so, looking as though it was an easy thing to do. Go to a guild and join and then just...well. Kiora smiles, "Great idea Natsu." Kiora seems to be more happy on this job then at the guild.
"U-uh well, I don't think, well I think that uhm well…" He twiddled his thumbs together and looked down at his feet. "D-do you think it's a good idea, Kio?" The nervous male looked to his friend for advice.
Kiora nods, "I do, and trust me Otto, this place is wayyyyy better than the orphanage. You remember the orphanage I told you about?" she reassures but winces a bit at the memory.
He nods only slightly before slowly inching his way over to Kiora, avoiding Natsu all together.
The fire dragon slayer's eyes seemed to have narrowed to slits and he stayed silent, watching Kiora with a fierce gaze.
Kiora looked over to Natsu and smiled. "Don't worry if he steps out of line, I'll beat him." she teases but then goes into a silence. "I-I mean take care of him...not beat…" she says nervously.
The fire breather continues to stare, seeming slightly cautious of the new comer, "Let's go back." Without another word he leaves.
Kiora remains quiet, her head down again, and follows him quickly, Otto close behind.
