Hay my Dragonlings!
I have some informational wise thing about my story that yall should know before you start reading.
1.) In this world Golden keys are portrayed as more valuable and are really rare. Which means money. That's why Jude can trade a chunk of railroad for a few keys.
2.) Yes, I did get the tattoo idea from eragon :) I forgot to give credit but I fixed it.
3.) Alec has a type of magic that will allow him to shrink down to what ever size he wants to and to grow, but is limited at his actual height. He does have the normal trait of a dragon (fire breathing) and sense the dragons here don't move their lips to talk they talk telepathically. Like they can talk to any one or chose a single person out and only talk to them, but only the person with the tattoo can talk back to them telepathically and they also give some other powers to the wearer of the tattoo.
4.) I revised the seen in the last chapter with Lucy and Jude. I only changed the dialog a bit because it sounded crappy to me. But the situation is still the same.
Hope that clears some things up for yall. Ill shut up now and give you your chapter and songs :)

Chapter 6: The Run In
Lucy Pov
Four years. That's how long I've been on the run. Four long years of being hunted down. Ever since father found out my real magic, he has sent people to capture me to try to bring me back to that horrible manor. It was quiet for the first five months; I had traveled far away from the manor to the town of Shirotsume.
I had a small apartment and worked at a restaurant. I had created a new Identity for myself, Chise Mongreen. I felt free and happy. That's when they showed up. Mages from a dark guild had showed up at the restaurant and wreaked havoc searching for me. I was able to get rid of them and to get answers for why they wanted me.
Father apparently had done some "research" and found out that dragon slaying magic was rare and planned to sell me and my magic on the black market for a lot of money. Typical. He had hired them to take me back and to use force if necessary. That day I packed up and went to another town. After a while of living in the new town more mages had come and they were more powerful than the last. I left that place and went to the next city. This process would repeat and sometimes I would camp out in the woods or forests or mountains.
I had remembered the note that Porlyusica gave to me but I wanted to travel and see different cities and towns. Lately though the attacks have become more frequent and the mages have become harder to beat without destroying an entire city. I decided to finally to go to the safe house last week, so I've been gathering my things up and working a bit more for extra money to pay off my last rent fee.
Today was my last day in the city of Hargeon. This fishing city was my home for half of a year and I loved it. The sun was always out and the ocean was always a crystal blue. The one thing I didn't like about this city was that there was only one magic shop and a small one at that.
I had just walked out of the magic shop with a new key to add to my collection of them Canis Minor: Nikora. I've heard how these little guys are so cute and I just had to pick him up. I hooked the key on my key loop and walked to the middle of the town. I was hungry and once I ate I would leave this beautiful town for Magnolia.
"Lucy?" Alec asked.
"hmm?" I asked him.
"What's that large crowd?" Alec questioned, he was resting on my neck but he got up on the top head and pointed to the large crowd they were coming up upon.
The large group of people was a bunch of girls screeching about some person called "Salamander." I put my hands over my ears to try to protect my sensitive hearing. Wincing, I looked between the crazed girls trying to find the cause of the commotion. Turns out to be a tall guy with dark blue hair that combs over to the side of his face.
"Who the hell...?" I drifted off of what I was saying, realizing that this guy was hot! "Damn he's sexy! Look at his beautiful sharp facial features! Those mysterious gorgeous dark eyes!" I said with hearts in my eyes. Pulling my hands away from my ears I ran into the crowd of girls and getting in the front.
"Lucy what the hell are you doing?" Questioned Alec while gripping onto my ponytail to not get accidentally thrown of me.
I didn't listen to him though. I didn't listen to my gut either for it was warning me of something. "He's just so perfect," I said dreamily.
"Igneel!... Igneel!... Igneel!" Someone yelled out. A boy popped out of the girls circle of girls surrounding Salamander. "Igne- Wait a minute you're not Igneel!" Shouted the boy. He had startling pink hair that jutted out in every which direction.
Pink hair...
"God damn it! He was using a freaken Charm! No wonder there is a huge crowd of crazed fangirls," I said.
"Charms? He was using Charms?" Alec asked from the top of my head.
"Ya see those rings on his hand?" I pointed out to him. "Each ring does some kind of spell. One of the rings he has is a love charm and he's using it to get this crowd of girls. Charms are illegal to use though..." I trailed off. I had look back over to Salamander only to see two guys in the crowd pointing at me and talking to each other. Shit!
"We need to leave! Now!" Spinning around, I took Alec off of my head and took off in a run with him in my arms. I could hear the guys running after me as I speed though the city heading for the woods north of the town. My pink backpack that I had on my back thumped on my back with each step.
"Lucy, keep running! If we stop to fight them we'll just attract more attention to ourselves. Find an open clearing in the woods and we will fly away," said Alec.
"On it."
We just entered the woods north of the city and I was looking for a big enough clearing for Alec to fly me out of. I could still hear the two guys behind us, hard on our heels. "Don't let her escape!"
Up ahead was a large meadow big enough to fly out of. Reaching the edge of it quickly, I threw Alec out of my arms and he grew to the size of a two story building and landed on his feet with a thud. Craning he head around, he gave a loud roar at the oncoming pair in warning.
I ran up his tail and back, jumping on a saddle that he had on his back that rested above his wings near his neck. With another loud roar, he reared back and took off in the air quickly. We went higher and higher till we were in the clouds and out of sight.
I gave a loud sigh out. "At least we escaped without destroying everything."
Alec gave a loud chuckle "Not a single house went up in flames."
I laughed. "I just wished we could beaten up that Salamander guy for tricking us."
"You mean you."
"Shut up." With that we were on our way to Magnolia.

"Get out of here! Don't disrespect Salamander!" A bunch of girls said.
I sat on the ground rubbing my butt were the girls had kicked it with an annoyed expression on my face. "Gray lied to us. Igneel wasn't here," I said to my partner
"Aye! But Gray did say it was something to do with a salamander," said the floating blue cat with wings.
"Whatever. I'm still gunna punch that Ice Princess. Let's get something to eat Happy, I'm hungry."
"Aye sir!"
Getting up off the ground and onto my feet we made our way to a little dinner that was supposed to be good here. Me and happy were walking in silence went I heard a faint roar of a familiar animal. "Happy did you hear that?"
"No. What is it Natsu?"
"It sounded like a-" Another loud roar was heard and I knew Happy had heard it to because he had a socked expression. Turning to where the sound came from, a large shape came out of the woods ahead of us. The shape was black and grey and had large bat wings. "A dragon!?"
The dragon flew higher and disappeared into the clouds. I thought I saw a streak of gold but I wasn't sure. "Let's go Happy!" I took off to the place where the dragon had come from and up at an empty clearing. No one was there but I could smell multiple scents. A musky smell of a dragon, what smelt like the sweat of guys, and a sweet scent of strawberries and strangely... sunshine? I don't know but that's what it smells like. I couldn't pick up were the scents had went but I fallowed the sweat smell back into the city only for it to vanish.
Sighing me and Happy gave up and went to get food at the dinner that we were going to go to in the first place. Hopefully I can catch the scents later when my mind is completely focused.
Hay there my Dragonlings!
Hope your spring breaks are good and HAPPY EASTER! My Easter present to yall is a 1,700 word chapter (although my normal chapters are well over that) and a pov from Natsu 3 Wishing yall a fun Easter, I'll see ya later!
