So hey I'm back!
So sorry for the late chapter. No one left any reviews so I was kinda discouraged, but then I decided you guys just didn't feel like writing reviews so I continued writing this story.
I also got distracted by Sword Art Online. It's such a good anime. And I also found a website where I could watch the second season of Fairytail, so I've been catching up on it. Also my computer was being a meanie and wouldn't turn on. I found out I accidently unplugged it. I'm such a baka!
A lot of stuff would make sense in this chapter so. . . Onwards!
And I'm not saying the disclaimer. HAHAHA. I don't own Fairytail. Ok I won't say the disclaimer in a regular font.
Tiger and her Family
(Lucy's POV)
"Reason 1: the mage in question could have taken or worn a piece of another mage's clothing." Everyone turned to look at Dysis outfit: a black and gray lace up tank, black shorts, a black belt, an arm bracelet, combat boots, and a weird but pretty looking choker."
I ruled out the lace up tank, shorts, and combat boots immediately. The belt maybe, but Natsu only has one and he's wearing it so no. The arm bracelet could be Erza's but Erza didn't seem to find anything, and the choker was just too weird to be either Natsu's or Erza's.
"Reason 2," Crux continued, "the mage in question could have stayed at a person's home for a long period of time." I nearly choked on my strawberry smoothie. Dysis, stay at Natsu's house. I thought up a mental picture of them cuddling and blushed red. No. No. No. What's wrong with you Lucy? Besides Natsu spends most of the time at my house or the guild anyways.
I glanced at Dysis, but her face was unreadable. Everyone else around us seemed to think that was unlikely also. Phew.
"Reason 3: it is always possible that the mage or mages could use the same type of shampoo." I almost laughed at this one. An image of Natsu using scented shampoo in the shower caused me too laugh and then to blush when I realized I was picturing Natsu being naked.
"Naughty, naughty, Lu-chan." Levy said smirking at me.
"Whaaa-No it wasn't like that. I was just-" The whole group strated laughing a bit until we all realized Crux started talking again.
"-4: the scent of someone could also smell like the scent of someone else if one person if the parent of the other." At this the group lost it and started laughing like crazy. The thought of Dysis being Natsu's and Erza's child was just too funny.
We we're still laughing when Levy stated, in order for Dysis to be Natsu's and Erza's child, Natsu would have been ten including the seven year time skip and Erza would have been twelve.
Erza face was as red as her hair. "She is not my child."
"Are you sure?" Gajeel asked putting his arm around Levy causing her to blush. Now it was my turn to smirk at her. "Wow Natsu, you didn't even go through heat yet." This earned Gajeel a punch from Natsu and a punch from Erza.
"Just so you know, I am still pure." Everyone blushed as Erza stood up and basically stated she was still a virgin. She blinked realizing how it sounded. "You there," she pointed at Crux, "continue." She sat down with a glare that made everyone look away.
"Yes ma'am. Reason 5: the person could share the same parents as the past has shown several examples of people smelling like others only revealed to be siblings." Everyone thought about this and I face palmed. How could I not have come up with this?
"That's a possibility," Dysis spoke for the first time since Crux had started explaining.
"True. But then, what are the possibilities that Erza and Natsu have the same parents?" Gray said.
"They don't necessarily have to have the same parent. Erza could be Dysis's half-sister or something." I stated. "Im'ma go get a refill, anyone want one?" Everyone shook their heads to absorb in figuring out Dysis' scent.
I came back from the bar and everyone was in a discussion again, Crux was levitating listening in.
"The odds that Dysis has a half-sibling from both parents that both happens to be mages and be in the same guild and make up the strongest team in the guild is extremely unlikely." Levy said flipping through a book.
"Shrimp here is right. What are the chances that hawk-girl is related to Salamander and Titania?" Gajeel said smugly.
"But what about her scent?" Wendy asked. Wendy, I decided, is very smart.
"… … …Hmmm… … …" everyone fell silent again.
"Hey Dysis, do you have a family photo?" I asked. If she did, then that would be great. Most parents pass on at least one trait to their kids.
Dysis looked down and started drinking her strawberry smoothie. "This is delicious."
"Don't change the subject!" Natsu slammed his fist on the table causing everyone except Erza and Dysis to jump. "Even though Igneel is my father, if you have a picture of one of my biological parent then I want to see them!"
He was breathing heavily and Dysis looked at him. I placed my hand on his arm to try to calm him down and Happy offered him a fish to make him happy again.
"I don't have a photo." Dysis said to her drink.
"Liar!" This time it was Erza who stood up and slammed her hand on the table. "You're lying. If you aren't then look me in the eye and tell me that you don't have a picture of your family." The whole table was shivering, edging away in fear except for Dysis. I found myself clutching on to Natsu's arm and blushed.
Happy saw and even in the circumstance he just had to say "You liiiiike him."
"Shut up Cat."
Dysis sighed. She looked up at the great terrifying Erza and just sighed. Who does that? Shouldn't she be running away in fear by now? I know I would. I mentally shivered at facing Erza's wrath.
"Fine. I have one photo, but it's in my bag in my camp in the woods outside of Magnolia."
"Well, then, let's go." Erza turned around and started walking out the guild doors. Everyone scrambled to follow.
"Wait!" I called out. "Crux, what was reason 6?"
"The same scents may just be the dragon-slayer's mistake."
Everyone sweat-dropped at that answer and Gajeel got mad. "Listen old man, I know what I smelled and-"
I took out Crux key and sent him back through the gate before Gajeel harmed him. I fished around my belt for another key. "Open gate of the Lion, Leo." In a flash, Loke stood in next to me. He still had a couple bruises, but he was looking a lot better. What can I say? They make a cute couple. Mira-Jane's rubbing off on me.
"Dysis, since you lied to us, Loke is coming with us."
"Hey Loke, your job this time is to stand by Dysis on the way there."
"Where?"
"I'm sure Dysis could fill you in." Dysis gave me a glare that was almost as scary as Erza's. I shivered a bit, but didn't say anything. I actually wouldn't be surprised that Dysis was Erza's sister. They both are scary.
(Dysis's POV)
This is bad! Ugh! I thought I could have lasted at least a month keeping my past a secret. I guess not. Ink's gonna yell at me, I just know it.
"So where are we going again?" Loke asked for the third time.
"Somewhere. Now shut up."
"Jeez, someone's feisty. What happened in the last two hours I was gone?" Loke asked Lucy who was talking to Happy. Natsu was deep in thought, for once.
While Lucy filled him in, I tried to think of ways to shake them off, but the look Erza gave me was s-c-a-r-y. Scary.
"So, where are you from?" It took me a moment to realize someone asked me a question.
"What, oh, uh…I'm form…uh…"
"Don't even think about lying." Erza growled. I gulped.
"I was born and raised in Chandiana."
"Where's that?" Natsu asked coming closer to join in on the conversation.
"Across on the other side of Fiore."
"Wow, that's far, did you take a train from there?" Wendy asked coming closer with Levy and Gajeel in tow. Gray came over so he wasn't alone with Juvia and Juvia followed Gray so now the whole group was listening.
"No, I walked or hitch-hiked."
"Wow hawk-girl, that's far."
"So, what's your family like?" Loke asked.
I sighed, they already found out so much about me in the first two hours I met them. I might as well just tell them.
"My mom was really sweet, she came from the Masi family, but she was also a mage. She wasn't very powerful, she mainly used her magic in the kitchen." I smiled sadly remembering when I used to sit in the kitchen and play with all the jars of spice she made me.
I wonder if she was a food type of mage. I heard Lucy think. "Kinda. She was a mage who dealed with spice. In an attack, she wouldn't be very strong, but she could make you choke on pepper or sneeze and catch you off guard." I glanced at Loke. "Sometimes, she could even blind you with it, but she didn't use it for violence. She was very peaceful."
That doesn't sound like Salamander or Titania. I smiled at Gajeel's thought. That's good, then I won't have family members I never knew about.
That would explain some of Natsu's spicy eating. I heard Levy thinking. I groaned, great now there's a chance I do have new family members I never knew about.
"Where is she now?" asked Wendy. She's really cute.
"She's dead."
"Oh. I'm sorry." Everyone looked a little shocked and Natsu and Erza looked a little crestfallen. Lucy quickly squeezed my hand and then let go.
"I know what that feels like."
"What about your dad?" Gray asked trying to change the subject. Juvia was glaring at me for all the attention Gray was giving me and muttering Love rival.
"Oh, he was a mage too, he dealt with silver. He came from the Herguy family. They're rich from their metals. It was an arranged marriage, but they both respected each other. They were married six years before they had me and my mom died three years later."
"Oh, I'm so sorry." Loke said. I held my head down so they wouldn't see my shiny eyes. I haven't cried since I was ten.
"It's okay, he married another woman when I was five since he figured I needed a mother figure in my life and he couldn't focus as much on his work with me in the way."
Everyone listened intently and I realized we were nearing the edge of Magnolia woods. I stopped walking and dropped a few dollars in a bowl in front of a homeless guy. He was a real gentlemen besides his appearance. "Thank you so much Dysis." Every time since I camped out in Magnolia forest, I walked buy to buy some food and would stop to give him some spare change or food. The first time he cried and thanked me like there was no tomorrow. The second time, he insisted on giving me a rock saying it was good luck and if I ever needed him, to call him with it.
"Your welcome Ian." Everyone noticed and fished around for some money to give to him too. After we left him bowing and thanking and blessing us, we continued into the forest.
"If you're from the Masi and the Herguy family, then why are you camped out in the woods?" Erza asked.
"Yea, and shouldn't your last name be Herguy?" Happy chimed in. I looked at Happy. I sighed. Ink would find him annoying.
"It should be, but I'm not done." I was shaking by now. I never told anyone my story. I would always find a way to avoid it or make up lies, but these people see right through them. Loke noticed me shaking and took my hand. I let him. Just this once I needed some comfort. Your not pushing me away? I heard Loke ask.
No, just this once though. I spoke in his mind. "The woman was from a high-class family and she had already been married once. Her husband died and she was left to take care of her daughter. When she met my father, they started talking and married within a month. She and he daughter came to live with us. She was nice at first, but her daughter, who was two years older than me, was nasty and spoiled since the beginning. Then, when I was seven, my father died."
Levy, Lucy, Juvia, and Wendy gasped and the boys looked sorry. Erza and Natsu looked completely crestfallen, but they recover quickly. Loke squeezed my hand. His hand was warm. No, stop it. I didn't have enough energy to pull away or stop talking. This story's been pent up inside me for three years.
"The woman stopped acting nice, and turned out just like her daughter. Spoiled and rotten and mean and nasty. She didn't like me because I wasn't her child and I played with the servants and didn't know how to act like a lady. She told me since my dad died and she was the head of the house now and that since I liked to play with the servants so much, I was to be Laura's personal servant."
"Laura, was that your step-sister?" Lucy asked.
I nodded. "Yea, she took my room and made me wear a maid uniform. I slept in a closet in the servant's quarter. Louisa didn't think I needed an actual room. I had to listen to everything Laura told me to do and if I didn't they would burn something of my mother's or my father's. Eventually, the servants moved all my parents' stuff to the attic, and Louisa simply thought they got rid of it. Around that time, when I was about nine, she married another man. He took over my father's company and changed the name to Sethos Metal Works."
I saw the light bulbs go off in everybody's head as the familiar name ran through their minds. I continued my story, needing to get it all out.
"That's why I lied about my last name. I couldn't risk you guys finding out."
"We understand Dysis." Erza said putting her hand on my shoulder. We were almost to my camp.
"You had a hard life. I'm sorry." Gray said. Loke squeezed my hand a little harder this time. I didn't say anything yet. Just let them get their sympathy out.
"I'm not done yet." I could sense everyone was taken aback, but I didn't' look up form my blurry boots to see their expressions.
"There's more?" Juvia asked.
I nodded and opened my mouth to speak again.
Ta-da! Was it shocking? Did I put too much drama? I don't know. I need people to give me feedback. Write reviews people! Please.
I'm sorry I didn't put as much Loke in this as I was gonna to, but Dysis let him hold his hand.
Should I make Ink {her exceed} a girl? Kinda like Carla? I need help. Private message me so I could run things by you.
Tkx for reading tho.
Again. So sorry for the late update.
