Chapter 22:House of Fun or Fear?
"Hello?"
"So you dont wanna tell me when you dissappear?"
I laughed at Laxus's voice. Im glad he at least called. But I was still confused about him being a hunter and everything.
"What? I sent you a text!" Which wasnt a lie. I told him I was going to be gone for the next four days. "You better not be with any boys. Especially the Phantom one and the one who's up to something."
That was pretty ironic seeming as though they were standing right next to me, collecting there suit cases. Cobalt dropped his duffel bag when he heard that and Pricella stifled a laugh.
"Uh...no? I told you Im to busy with the music thing to be hanging out with them!"
"Liar. I can practiclly hear your heart beating and your in another city. Put it on speaker so they can hear me." I sighed. Dennevah forced me to put it on speaker just so Mom and the others could hear it to. Uncle Gray smiled a little.
"Ok your on."
"You touch my baby sister and I'll kick your ass so bad you wont be able to sit for the next decade. GOT IT?!"
"Aye Sir!" Jadin and Cobalt mumbled, practically horror stricken. Big brother gave a grunt of approval and hung up.
Aunt Lucy was the first to laugh.
"YAY!" Dennevah yelled and Claire and I laughed.
After getting off of the train I told Mom and the others that I had to go check in with my class. Aunt Lucy kept fretting over if I was ok but Uncle Natsu reassured her that I was fine.
News Update I never knew walking could be so...akward.
Jadin on my left and Cobalt on my right I pretend to look enthusiastic at the sights. Claire tried to help as much as possible but even she knew that I was on my own. Pricella ran off somewhere and I spotted Aunt Moka just trailing behind us. Stopping so I can catch up to her and get away from the boys I can hear her chuckling.
"I could hear your heart pounding from a mile away." She commented and I laughed. Aunt Moka pulled out a container and I frowned at the smell of blood. Even though it smelt SO GOOD!
"Here, you can have it. We dont need you drinking from Dennevah, or Jadin because he'll probably let you. Masochistic little kid." She murmered that last part and I smile. "Maybe just ONE sip. To hold me for the weekend."
One sip turned into the whole canister.
Aunt Moka laughed at my dissapointed face and pulled out another. "If you want some just ask, we ARE on vacation. You dont have to hold back." My face must have lit up more than the heavens because Aunt Moka laughed.
Ever scince Aunt Moka confirmed to me I was half vampire she's been looking out for me more often. Although she had my back at school, now she seems closer to me. In my mind I considered her nakama.
"Kuma Scarlet?"
"Yes sir, that is I."
The manager of the resort showed me the big stage outside for the magic show tonight. Appearently I would get to sing *cough* forced *cough* a miniture concert that consits of four songs and close the magic show with two more. I was definately getting some exposure.
Momma aka my manager walked with me and I held her hand like a little kid. She didnt seem to mind. She was still in her bathing suit but she requiped into some coverups for the inside. I guess she was heading back for the beach after this. Cousin Loke was right this place is addictive.
"Hey Kuma, call everyone who's performing over here. You should practice it on a larger scale." Nodding I texted everyone where to be and ten minutes later everyone arrived.
Uncle Gray not only knew how to sing, he also knew how to dance. Which made him the choreographer.
"Pick up the energy, Kay! You too Dee! Claire, watch that foot!" He called as we went over the routine on stage. Some people passed and gave us little cheers for encouragment as they went along with their day. I would rather train with Cousin Bixlow than go over this.
"Alright boys, your up." Mom called. Jadin and Cobalt got on either side of me and we went over a song I wrote. Uncle Gray went extra hard on the boys but they didnt seem to mind. He was just being day time daddy since Papa was out on some mission. Even if he was in town, he wouldnt show up in some crowded place like this.
I dont know why.
After practice Uncle Natsu, Uncle Gray and I went and got something to eat. Its been a while since its actually been just the three of us and Ive realized just how much I was gonna miss this.
Mom, Aunt Lucy and I went and got our nails done and got massages. Mom said she could get use to this. I couldnt agree more. "I feel...silly." I say and Aunt Lucy laughed. "You two are so not use to being feminine are you?"
"No I guess not." Mom replied with a thoughtful shrug as she looked at her now purple fingernails. I did mine gold an shimmery since I was wearing a pale yellow dress tonight. I went into Mom's room early and Mom set my hair in curlers.
"Your gonna look so pretty tonight!" She exclaimed putting the last of the curlers in. I laugh at her enthusiasm. Yawning we go and chill out on the balcony. We joked about Uncle Gray and Uncle Natsu and we started talking about who would make great couples in Fairy Tail.
"I dont think Cousin Levy would be great with Cousin Jet or Cousin Droy. She needs someone a little more...edgy...so she can soften them up." Mom chuckled at that. "Lucy should go ahead and marry Natsu. Its so obvious that they love each other." I laugh at that. Uncle N did seem a little love struck. But I had to disagree.
"If its Aunt Lucy, I think she should be with Uncle Gray. Or Big Brother." Momma raised a brow.
"I understand Gray, but why Laxus?"
"Because their blonde."
I stared at her with a straight face and she bursts with laughter. She just wouldnt stop laughing which caused me to join her. The real reason why is beacause it would be so romantic for demon and demon hunter to hook up. Sappy right?
Looking over I see Mom had yawned and looked back at me with a small smile.
"Have I ever told you how much I loved you?" She asked suddenly and I nodded, yawning as well. "Like everyday. But I love the attention." She chuckled softly and then fell asleep. Me not far behind.
"Love you too, Ma."
My dreams were filled with images of me running. Always running. And just when I thought I could stop, something happens and I go right back to running. It was me but I changed ages. From four to seven to nine to now. Me running and never stopping.
Because I was to afraid to turn around and face the music.
Mom had shook me awake and asked what was wrong. She said I was tossing in my sleep. Again I lied and said it was a flash back of the whole Phantom Lord fiasco. She kissed my cheek and said its time for fun, not for fear. I needed to come clean and stop all the lying but my lies would protect her. That was my top priority.
[Gray]
...Tonight I want all of you tonight

The concert was going well and this was the last song. Kuma Gray and Natsu were performing on stage and they sounded REALLY good. Gray had grabbed Erza and pulled her on stage to dance with him when he sayed 'Grab somebody sexy' and Natsu took hold of Lucy's hand. To tell the truth Lucy was BLOWED when she saw Natsu holding a mic to his lips.
[Natsu]
Take advantage of tonight
Cause tomorrow I'm off to Dubai to perform for a princess
But tonight, I can make you my queen
And make love to you endless
This is insane: the way the name growin'
Money keep flowin'
Hustlers move aside
So, I'm tiptoein', to keep flowin'
I got it locked up like Kuma Scarlet
Put it on my life, baby,
I make you feel right, baby
Can't promise tomorrow
But, I promise tonight
Dalé
[Natsu]
Excuse me

Gray was secretly dreading his dance movements. All though Erza seemed to be having a lot of fun, dancing with him, he felt a little self concious. She wrapped her arms around his neck and all of his worries lifted as he stared into his childhood crush's eyes.
Kuma was dancing with Cobalt and as usual they looked professional but also looked like they were enjoying themselves. Even though she still had a problem with Cobalt dating Pricella, she would let it slide. Love lives are stupid, she thought and continued to party.
[Natsu]
Reach for the stars
And if you don't grab 'em,
At least you'll fall on top of the world
Think about it
Cause if you slip,
I'm gon' fall on top yo girl (hahaa)
What I'm involved with
Is deeper than the masons
Baby, baby, and it ain't no secret
My family's from Bosco
But I'm an Fiorian Idol
Get money like Scarlet (points at Erza)
Put it on my life, baby
I make you feel right, baby
Can't promise tomorrow
But, I promise tonight
Dalé
[Natsu and Lucy]
Excuse me (Excuse Me)

[Gray and Erza]
Tonight I want all of you tonight

For all we know, we might not get tomorrow
Let's do it tonight
[Kuma and Cobalt]
