HIIIIIIIII!

I feel so much lighter now. This is so off topic from the story, but in order for me to pass the 8th grade, I needed a personal essay and to pass my interview. I did! I'm so relieved, so Imma start typing this new chapter sooner and hope I post it up sooner.

Tkx so much for all the comments, or comment, but you know. :P

Continuing on cause you don't want to hear about my boring life…

Tiger and her Parents

(Dysis POV)

I nodded and opened my mouth to speak again.

"He never started beating me until I was eleven. He would kick me and slap me and whip me, most of the time because I did something wrong or if he was in a bad mood. If your wondering where my scars are, he always made sure to whip me underneath my shoulders so no one would notice if I wore tank tops." I pulled up the back of my shirt with my free hand, my other still clutching to Loke, to show them. My back, had crisscross patterns all over it, and there wasn't an inch of un-whipped skin left. It was all scars. I heard them gasp when they looked at it and I felt Natsu, Gray, and Loke grit their teeth in anger. Gajeel just looked like seeing someone's messed up back was normal, but he was covering Levy's eyes.

"Dysis-kun, may I heal them?" little Wendy asked. {I'm sorry, I don't know what Wendy would call her so…}

I smiled sadly, "No, it's ok Wendy, these are over two years old and they're scars. They won't go away."

"Oh, I'm sorry," was all she said back.

I let go of my shirt. "Don't be. I had enough and ran away form home when I was thirteen. I didn't tell the servants because I didn't want them getting hurt. I pick-pocketed and fought and took mini-missions to survive. I had an exceed named Ink that I found when I was nine. I hatched and raised her, kinda. She was extremely strict, and in a way, she was the mother I never had."

I still had shiny eyes and more to tell them, but we reached my little camp and Ink came out. "Dysis, your back- Who are all these people?!"

I looked down as they all introduced themselves and Lucy explained why they were here. Happy had his mouth hanging open.

Uh-oh, Looks like Carla has some competition. I heard Lucy think, and despite the moment, I smiled a bit.

"Dysis, may I have a word?" Ink asked me with her paws on her hips. She had on a pink dress and a white apron and a pink bow on which did not help her look bossy, except maybe the apron.

I started walking over but I felt a tug on my hand. Loke was still holding it. "You can let go now."

"I can, but I don't want to."

"Playboy…"

"Dysis." I pried my hand form his at the sound of Ink's voice.

"Make yourself comfortable." I told the group although all they had to sit on was a tree stump and a log.

"Yes Ink?"

"Dysis, what did you tell them?" she demanded.

I looked down at my boots again listening to the soft bickering between Gray and Natsu on who got to sit on the stump.

"Dysis. It's rude to not look at people when they're talking to you."

I looked up at her, though she was only about a foot tall. "I told them everything up to when I ran away, but I didn't mention my magic yet."

"Dysis. You know your not suppose to tell anyone that. If anyone finds out they could sell you back to him and he'll-"

"I know Ink. I know, but they found out and then I just told them everything. You heard Lucy. Natsu and Erza could be my half-brother or sister. I have to know."

I felt Ink soften. "Alright Dysis, if you feel this is right, I won't stop you. But stay away from that boy with the spikey hair. He's no good." She said that last part a little loud and I heard them giggle.

"Thank you Ink, I bent down to hug her."

"Yea, yea. Don't get all mushy on me now. Imma go take a bath now. Holler if that boy tries anything." She turned to walk to the hot spring we had found the other day. I turned and half smiled at the group. It felt weird to have people at my camp. Should I bring out tea or something? I crawled into my old tent and looked through my bag. I traveled light: a tent, a blanket, a spare change of clothes, a pocket knife which I kept tucked in my boots, an old pan, a canteen, a wallet, a journal, some snacks, and a bag to hold everything. The journal was just a notebook with pictures or pieces of memories from when I was happy. It's mostly empty. I took it out and flipped to the second page. I looked at the photo and almost cried right then and there.

No. Stop it Dysis. You got to be strong. {Reminder:Underlined parts are what Loke reads from Dysis' mind.}

I crawled out from my tent and went over to where the group had sat down; Natsu on one end closest to the stump, next to Lucy who had Happy on her lap and they were next to Wendy who was next Gajeel with a blushing levy on his lap. Then came Juvia who was next to Gray who was next to Loke. Erza got the stump. "Sorry, I don't have any refreshments and I only have one photo." I didn't look at the photo, just passed it around to Loke. I had already seen it inside the tent and it confirmed my suspicion.

"Wow, Dysis, is that your mom? I see where you got your looks from."

"Yea, thanks. Wait what-"

"She looks like Natsu," Gray commented. "Without the squinty eyes though."

"Juvia agrees with Gray-sama. Juvia thinks that Dysis looked very adorable as a child."

"Your dad doesn't look like a happy man," Levy stated.

"Shorty's right. He's not smiling."

"He has Erza-kun's kind eyes though, and they look very proud" Wendy noticed.

"Arui, she's our head maid, told me I had just finished dancing." The girls all giggled and the guys chuckled. "She told me later that my mother said I would make a great dancer and that my father was proud of me."

"Yea. I'm starting to think maybe those chances of Natsu and Erza being Dysis' siblings might not be so ridiculous after all."

"Aye." Happy said softly. Then he passed the photo to Natsu.

Natsu stared at the photo. It was taken by Arui, when she came with us on the trip. I was about to turn three and my father had surprised my mother and me with a picnic to Tulip-Willow Hill. It got its name after the lone willow that was there and was surrounded by tulips in the spring and summer. The tulips were starting to close back up, but they never grew under the Willow's shade where we sat that day. It's where my parents' graves are.

My mother was sitting on the blanket with her knees tucked under her in a loose yellow sundress that just reached her knees. She had her pink/salmon colored hair loose under a simple straw hat and she was laughing. Her onyx eyes were sparkling and she had a red tulip in her hand. Against the sinking sun in the background, she looked like she was glowing. She was looking at me across the photo, my hand tucked behind my blue dress in a curtsey, my hair falling in my face.

Natsu handed the photo to Erza.

My father sat next to my mother, the picnic basket next to him. He sat with his back straight drinking tea out of a blue china cup. His hair, the same color as mine, was cut closely to his head and he wore armor, just a simple breastplate with a shirt and kakis underneath. He wasn't smiling, but his gray eyes looked at the little girl with evident pride in them. It was a rare moment captured in the lens of a camera.

Erza stood up and handed me the photo. We stood there. Then I couldn't stand it anymore and sat down next to Loke and buried my face into my hands. It was all too much. I had just met these people three hours ago and now they know more about me then my step-sister does. Loke wrapped an arm around me.

I had to say this. Before I lose my nerve and lie to them again. It's gonna be okay Dysis. I heard Loke speak in my mind, like actually speak into my mind. I looked at him through my bangs and took a deep breath. Here goes.

"M-my magic, I l-l-lied to you guys about it. I am a mage that has to do with the m-mind, b-but I'm not just a simple mind mage that can read minds and send stuff or make people think stuff. I'm a-a-a- mind dragon slayer."

Silence.

Then…

"WHAT?!" Everybody jumped up.

Ok. I finished. I was going to make it longer, but someone commented so I decided to post it earlier. Also I'm in a good mood today.

Let's make a deal. If someone leaves a review, I'll try to update a new chapter sooner, like within that or next week.

If no one reviews then I will take NEVER update. MUAHAHAHA. No just kidding, but I will take longer to update though.

So…..Leave a review so I can improve this story cause, I'm just writing this on whim and I have a very, very, foggy idea on what gonna happen next. Ideas are mush appreciated.
