Fourth Star

It was relatively boring day, a few weeks after Lucy joined Fairy Tail, that she realised she had no place of her own. Erza was a troubling room mate, even if she was in the next room. The red head had the tendency to throw swords at the dragon slayer, not consciously though. If the blonde wasn't awake, she swore she would be full of holes and scarred for life. Lucy did not actually need a place to stay, she did well in sleeping in forests.

She was so used to the dark, dreary forest Acnologia raised her in, that it become , it was not the ideal place to raise children in, but to Lucy, the dark, twisting roots, misty fog and eerie bird calls is home. Yes, there was rain, lot's of it, but it didn't bother her at all, it would just make the dark, damp forest a swamp for a while. Acnologia forced her to walked through the swamp. " Good training." He would growl, as he watched the blonde incase she falls through a hole.

She didn't live under roof, or got her dragon to drap his wings over her. No, the black dragon would only do that when it was snowing, and even then, it was rare. He decided that it was one of the ways to make Lucy stronger, not that she complained. It was against her to complain and plus, Acnologia would praise her in his odd, own way.

Gasping for air, Lucy came to the surface of the lake. She had found the lake the other day and have been training in it since. It was another of Acnologia's methods of training. Once a week, he'll take her to an empty sea-side and force her into the water. He would make certain to drop her between a circle of sharks with a small cut on her cheek, the blood would attract the sharks and cause them to go after the blonde. Somehow she had to dodge their attacks underwater, and if there was a possiblity that one of the sharks nearly eating her, her father will eat the bugger before that could happen.

Now, the difference here is, Piranahs. The little, meat devouring fish inhabited the lake, so she didn't need to be bleeding to attract attention. A sudden splash of water pulled her from her trance as a fish come flying for her face, dodging to the left, she managed to avoid the fatally wounding experience. Feeling the sudden shift in the water around, the blonde decided her short break was over and dove back under the dark, blue water.

Wincing in pain, the void dragon slayer was treating her wounds on the bank of the lake, a few lucky bite's here and there, were treated carefully by a special salve. She had left the lake when she started feeling the effects of blood loss.

The sun was starting to set, casting wonderful splashes of colour in the sky and reflecting in the supposed she could go back to the guild before getting something to eat. Master Makarov is bound to be back from the annual guild meetings that take place every month. Taking one last glance, Lucy trotted off into the direction of the guild.

The guild was noisy as ever, chairs were flung once again. One of the members seemed foreign to her, not recognizing him. It was a sunny, blonde haired male teenager, with a scar over his right eye. He was wearing black headphones and an ugly, yellow contrast shirt. Shrugging it off, Lucy walked towards Cana, a small brunette with brown eyes sitting alone at a table, and sat on the opposing stool.

The Brunette stared at her shyly, curious as to why she was sitting there. The dragon slayer ignored her, it was the only table that wasn't crowded by people on the first floor. Quietly nibbling on a few sticks of Chi Chi dango she got from the owners of a dango stand, Lucy was content with herself. The sweet taste was ideal for her boring day, she was in a better mood once she helped out the couple and got free dango from them every day.

All to suddenly, Natsu came crashing on to the table and squashed her dango. The lose of sweet treat got to her and she slammed her fist into the pink haired idiot's face, leaving a grueling, black bruise covering half of his face and knocking him out in the process. "No one messes with my dango..." Replied Lucy eerily calm, a dark foreboding expression on her face daring anyone else to go against her and ignored the smell as some of the weaker willed members messed their pants.

Reeling in her temper, Lucy walked out of the guild like nothing happened, not even glancing at the terrified expressions of some of the other guild members. "You don't mess with Lucy's dango" was later put up as a notice on the board and posted as a warning sign where ever they could place it within the guild, it become an unspoken rule that day. If Lucy eat's dango, you'd better sit down, shut up and wait for her to finish it.

Authors note: Sorry for the shorter chapter, it's mostly nonsense I know. The pairing in the lead is who you voted for, xD

The poll will still stay on for another couple of chapters. But say Hurray! This is my fifth chapter, I usually don't continue my stuff.

Please Review, any idea's are welcome, I might be thinking of skipping a few years, and no, I'm gonna torture some of you and make the guild only find out Lucy being the void dragon slayer. She is secretive so she won't show it off easily. I added some bit's of training Lucy did with Acnologia.
