CHAPTER 4

Truth and Lies

"Before we start the interrogation, let me introduce myself. I am Master Makarov, the master of this guild. This silver haired beauty beside me is Mirajane. The red haired girl is Erza and the blondie is Lucy. The pink haired boy is Natsu and the dark haired boy is Gray. The dark blue haired girl with the long hair is Wendy while the one with short blue hair is Juvia and the smaller one is Levi. The big man with black hair and piercing is Gajeel while the other big man is Elfman. And the one with brown hair…" said Master and it goes on and on.

After what seemed like hours, the introduction was finally finished.

"Now, why don't you introduce yourselves?"

"I am Trevor. She is Dara. She is … my bodyguard."

I bowed as part of the act. It still kinda hurt to do this.

"So… What are you? And where did you come from? Why did you come here so injured? Who—"

"NATSU! Slow down. One question at a time. They are still injured and recovering." The blondie, Lucy, scolded Natsu.

"It's alright. We will answer all your questions honestly." Said Trevor but I saw his fingers crossed. So much for answering questions honestly.

"First off, we are mages. We came here injured because we were captured by Dragons. We were kidnapped because we were mistaken as dragons because of our magic. They collected our power and stored it in a giant lacrima."

I shuddered as I remembered how they tortured us to suck out our power. A tear escaped my eye involuntarily. Trevor looked at me worriedly.

"I'm fine. Just… remembering what happened." I faked a weak smile that didn't fool anyone.

"Why don't you two get some rest? We'll talk about your joining Fairy Tail later. Only if you want to." Master Makarov said kindly.

Trevor and I smiled at each other. 'Hime, they look like they could be trusted. Should we tell them the truth later?'

'Yeah. Maybe. We'll continue to observe them until were sure they're trustworthy.'

"We'll join Fairy Tail. Thank you, Master Makarov. Thank you, minna-san."

"We'd love to. Thank you." And I bowed again and Trevor followed suit.

Every member had a kind smile in their face except for a certain dragon slayer.
