Vampy: So...you all seem to be enjoying this. And wow that fact alone is making me blush cause I thought no one ever like this. But I am rather happy to see people enjoying this. That being said, I guess I will continue it some more, so please be patient with me. I don't know how many chapters I will do, but I don't want this to be to long, like 50 chapters. So it will be a short series of chapters. How many though is still up in the air. I think it would help if some of you maybe gave some suggestions to what you might want to see in some later chapters. That way I have some idea's and it will be fun to hear what you all have to say.
Now, I don't own the Fairy tail universe or its characters, they rightfully belong to Hiro. I only own Kathy and Nina.
A soft sigh escaped the young woman that was seated on the bed, gray eyes staring longingly out the large open balcony, the long red curtains blowing softly in the window she could feel. Sadly, she couldn't step an inch outside without hitting an invisible wall. Her failed attempts to escape while Sting was off competing only ended her back in his bedroom a few times before he had asked Rufus if he remembered any damn seals that would keep her from getting out while he was gone. The Memory mage had only smirked and nodded, before she had been sealed up with Runes that made escaping impossible. She could still smell the wind and sun or rain, but she couldn't go and drown herself in it! It drove her nuts!
Shooting a glare to the male that laid next to her asleep, she then looked down to her lap, her little friend curled up and asleep there. It was a rather cute sight to be honest, and she would have cracked a smile if not for the circumstances. So she gently shook her awake. "Come on Nina, it's time for your bath."
The baby pink exceed groaned as she blinked her big dark brown eyes open, looking up before yawning. Kathy smiled as she moved off the bed silently, the long shirt she was forced by Sting to borrow for sleeping slipping down to almost her knees, being that short as she grabbed another one. It was rather annoying she had to use his shirts since he had forgotten to grab her bag of clothes and personal items, and wouldn't allow any females in his guild to lend her something. But it was all she had, so she work with it as she walked to the bathroom that was connected to the room, silently closing the door and locking it for good measure. Sting had walked in on her once, and after all the time it took to get him out so she could dress, she didn't want to go through it again.
The moment the lock was heard clicking into place, blue eyes open as Sting sat up, having woken up long before her, but pretended to fall asleep in order to listen to her. She had shifted a few times, and at some point, he swore he smelled annoyance coming off of her. He knew she was upset with him for trapping her in his room, but she had to understand that he was not going to let her get away from him, that he would hunt her down no matter what how far she went.
Sighing, he moved off the bed, as he heard the shower running, which perked his interest save for the fact she had locked the door...again. Damn it, was it really a bad thing he had admired her he one time he walked in on her? She had appealed to his every interest, from the curves she had, the plushness her body promised to carry...and her ass. He groaned in the memory. While she may not have been as busty as Minerva or Yukino, she clearly made up for it with a that plump ass. Which only served to prove that he was more an ass man that a breast man. He had to stop himself form pinning her down and finally mating with her each time she bent over in his shirts and he only got teased with a glimpse of how tight it got around it.
Sighing, he knew he was going to have to mate with her soon, it would be the only way to ensure she couldn't leave him. Once they were mated, she would fully understand that she was his and wouldn't want to get away. He tried racking his brain for the ritual. As he cursed softly, wondering how it went again, he cursed at himself. He was kinda praying she would go into heat, then she would really need his attention and he would be more then willing to give into her and her body heated demands for her mate, but another part of him wanted her to come to him sober minded, when the daze of heat wasn't present. But he wasn't good with girls, hell he had no way to seduce her to his bed! He had come close to asking Rufus for some advice but backed out in fear he get laughed at. Damn it, why didn't he pay more attention to things like this?! Now he had no clue as to how to move forward with her.
Sighing, he got out of bed, walking over to the dresser to dress for the day, yanking out a pair of his baggy pants while going over ways to try and win her. He really had no idea how to go about this. The only one thought he had was finally letting the Runes come down...but he needed them to keep her here. Maybe flowers? Girls like that right? Then again, he hardly knew anything of Kathy. When he tried to get to know her, she would only say a few things and then clam up, as if on edge. From the few things he did know, she hated Chocolate because she was allergic to it, and he only got that out of her because he offered her some he got for Lector, she loved the color White, and she had been orphaned before her dragon parent had found her. He sighed, knowing he have another try tonight, but would try to get her something nice. What girls liked though...he had no idea.
He sighed as he finished pulling on his pants when he heard the shower shut off, a happy noise from Nina heard next as Kathy let out a soft giggle. He smiled softly at the sound, feeling relaxed by it, but a bit annoyed that he wasn't the one that had caused it. Still, he said nothing when she walked out a few moments later, towel drying her short hair as Nina flew out, her fur fluffy from most likely being dried off first. He tilted his head to get a better look at her, enjoying the sight of her in his shirts. Today's was the one with the deep v-neck, ending around her lower tights as the sleeves were pushed up to her elbows. She also had managed to close the v-neck a bit more for a bit more modesty. He pouted at that, as she noticed him and frowned.
"W...what?" Kathy then followed where his eyes were looking and blushed brightly, already feeling like she lacked in that department as she threw the towel at him. "PERVERT! MY EYES ARE UP HERE!" She blushed brightly, as she covered her chest with her arms shyly, turning away a bit. Sting only smirked, she looked really cute when she was all embarrassed, even though he rather liked how she was proportioned.
"Oh I know. Just admiring the view still though. The more I see, the more I like." She blushed more at that, as she gave a shy glare, already flustered beyond belief.
"Someone give me the patience to deal with this man..." She mumbled under her breath, but he heard it none the less, making him raise a brow.
"The best way to deal with me is to give in with being my mate and stop running. Then you can walk around the whole guild hall." Sting thought he was clever, but nope. "Only the guild hall? Then that is still a cage, just a bigger one." She mumbled once more, knowing he heard her still, her tone upset at that. He hated it, and sighed as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Look. I know you hate being stuck in here. But you have to understand. I am not letting you go now that I found you. I get we don't know each other. But your mine. So I just can't let you slip away from me." He got a bit of a wide eye look from Kathy, the blunette seeming surprised by the serious tone he had suddenly taken, as if she expected he wasn't capable of such a feat. What did she think he was dumb or something? He was a bit annoyed by that, as he looked to her.
"...Bu...but how is trapping me in here going to make me want to stay? You kidnap me, capture me whenever I try to have my freedom back, and stuck me in here. Put yourself in my shoes, why would I want to stay when I feel like I am just a pet that is to be looked at and ignored!" She snapped, on edge now as she turned away from him, rather annoyed.
Sting blinked at that, rather shocked by her choice of wording, as she declared how she really felt, before sighing softly, and taking a bold step, hugging her from behind. She flinched at that, having not expected it, as she looked to him over her shoulder, about to tell him off, but the words never left her mouth at how serious he was looking at her.
"Look, I get your miserable. So, I am going to strike a deal with you." He waited for any kind of response, only meeting silence, which he took as a yes. "I will get Rufus to remove the runes, only if you promise not to run anymore. And if you break that promise, not only will they go back up, but I will have no choice but to always keep you in sight. I don't like having to trap my mate. But Kathy, I am not going to let go, and you know it. You know I am not, no matter how far you run. So just promise you will stay and be with me as mates should."
Kathy blinked at that, where had the cruel and uncaring Sting that had kidnap and locked her away gone? Then again, there was a lot of the man before her that she had no clue about. While he had made the effort to get to know her, she hardly made any, instead just answering a few questions and that was it. She hated the guilt that was raising in her, not sure if it was Stockholm or was the dragon in her responding to her lack of care for Sting, but she none the less felt it. So she gave a tired sigh, leaning back. To be honest, despite being trapped only for two days, having escaped a good amount the third day, and it being the final day of the tournament, she was ready to agree to anything that would get her able to at least go outside again.
"...Fine...I will agree to this...but you have to work on how you deal with women...and I will try to accept you as my mate..." If Stockholm didn't hit first or she didn't go to heat first. She had been dreading that happening since she knew with him near, she would only attack him. She then gasped as she felt him nuzzle the back of her neck, turning her head a bit in surprise. He only grinned to her, the first genuine one she had ever seen from him, and it had her blushing.
"Fantastic. Now then. I am gonna go get Rufus for the runes, and stop by Minerva's room to ask if she has anything you can borrow. Much as I love seeing you in my shirts, can't have you prancing around in it if your gonna be walking around the guild hall. Oh and you still haven't said if you join or not." She flinched at that, looking away, not that he didn't notice. "More time?" She simply nodded, before she gave him a puzzling look.
"...Sting...where is Lector...? I haven't seen him since yesterday." She finally asked, knowing Nina was wondering as well. The pink exceed had grown rather fond of Lector and Frosch, and even Rogue cracked a smile when he saw them playing something while Sting and he were busy with the tournament. She noticed though how his eyes darkened, and he looked away, mumbling a few curses under his breath. She looked confused, not knowing what had happened the night of her short imprisonment. About how Lector almost died and Minerva was keeping him prisoner. Sting now didn't want to stop by the she-witches room, but he would have to face her at some point, and Kathy would need the clothes, since he wanted to bring her with him. He didn't want to risk her being taken Minerva second prisoner so that he did well in the tournament.
"Sting?" Her worried voice at how long he was taking to answer shook him back to reality, as he looked to her.
"Oh..he...he may have left without me. I am gonna finish getting dress and then go. Don't open the door till I get back." He released her, the protective instinct in him flaring, and once he got back Lector, no one was touching the two. They have to kill him first and then even still he wouldn't allow it. He would just drag himself out of the grave and kill whoever tried.
Kathy blinked as she looked up to him, watching as he yanked on a shirt he grabbed at random, as well as a jacket, before yanking on his boots, before hurrying out, before she could even question him. She tilted her head, confused.
"...Sting?" She felt worried, but she didn't understand, as she watched him go, wondering what was going to happen. One thing was for certain, she knew today was not going to be any normal day.
