Chapter 15: If Only You Could See

"I'm back, Porlyusica." I called out to her. "Porlyusica!" Her house was trashed and Arion was nowhere to be found. I saw Porlyusica leaned up lazily against a bookshelf. "What happened here?"

"The army came. They took Arion with them."

"They did what?!" The ice mage said.

"YOU STUPID HUMAN WEREN'T YOU LISTENING. They took her to the king."

"Acnologia! He'll kill her!"

"Acnologia? Where have i heard that name before?" the scarlet haired girl known as Erza wondered.

"Thats the dragon who took Gildart's body from him." Natsu, the salmon haired boy responded.

"We have to go get her."

"No, Lucy. I will go-." I declare.

Gray Interrupts me saying, "Hey, I wanna go to!"

"Do not be so careless, Ice Boy. You will be up against an army of beings that could kill you instantly. Do you want to risk death."

"If it meant I could apologize to her. I would do anything."

I sigh at him deeply, "Very well, Ice Mage. The rest of you, please see to Porlyusica and her home."

"What? But I wanna go fight dragons too!"

"Aye sir!"

"I would actually rather stay here and help Porlyusica. Plus what if my adorable face gets scratched by those dragons."

"I think that would be an improvement." the cat laughed.

"What was that, cat?!" the blonde was now attempting to strangle the blue cat. I swiftly gesture to Gray, who was eyeing me sharply, to meet me outside.

When we are out of the house with no one around I turn to him and say, "Listen, Fullbuster! Do not get in my way on this journey. She is MY fiancé and I will be the one who wins her heart in the end."

"Fine. I'm just going to make sure she's alright."

"Good. Now that that's out of the way." I begin, "Full Release!" my body passes by its 2nd release and into its full dragon form, a white dragon with golden scales. "Come now, Gray. We have a princess to slay."

"Right." He hops on to my back and I take flight in the direction of the kingdom.

(-Arion's PoV-)

I don't wanna be in love, especially if it'll be the death of me. Red had said.

Gosh, Red. You're gonna scare her. Says pink. Love makes the world go 'round!

Red instantly retorts. Who cares its not my fault she's a little cry baby.

Ms. Red, you should be nicer to Ms. Arion. A younger version of me stepped in from the dark.

Shut it, Blue.

I-I'm sorry. The little, glowing, Blue girl ran to hide behind the love-obsessed, Pink.

Why can't we just share the love.

Love is for the weak.

Stop that, Red. White says. We must create a safe and happy environment for Arion to focus her spirit in.

And to love in!

What the heck is going on in here anymore?

It would seem that you developed multi personality disorder or something.

Ah, Green. You decided to come out today.

Hello Ms. Green. Blue said sweetly

Red on the other hand couldn't resist being mean. As usual. Finally out of your sty, Greenie. Bout time.

What? The heck? Is going on in here?

ZZZZZURG. ZZUR-ZUR-ZZZZZURG.

I begin panting. Why are there so many mes?

We're your subconscious mind, your feelings and emotions. Green states as she lazily digs in her ear.

We're just keepin' you company, Princess.

Yeah 'til you die.

ZZZZURG.

That's not gonna be too far now. Red chuckled evilly.

Red! White scolded. This is not a safe environment for meditating.

She'll be fine.

Not if you keep telling her she's going to die-!

I won't die. I don't know where I am right now but I won't die here.

"That's what you think, Princess." A deep male voice echoed around my mind.

"Who was that?" I asked the beings that stood around.

"I would say your worst nightmare but, I am much worse then that."

"Where am I?"

"Don't worry about that, my dear."

I finally open my eyes. I see a man clad in armor. I couldn't see his face or anything. I could just hear his all too familiar voice. I tried to move my arm but i could feel it restrained by magic canceling metal. "What the hell is this?"

"Just a precaution. We wouldn't want you breaking out, now would we?" He asked me as he pushed the shiny red button once again, sending the electrical wave.

"Actually I believe we would."

"Griffin! A-and Gray!?" I gasp. "What are you doing here-? Ahh!" The electricity surges in my body once again.

"Arion!" Gray calls.

"Gray-Ahhhhh! H-help me" I panted out.

"Gray get rid of that guard and I'll free her." Gray reluctantly nodes his head and begins to escape sometime after the last shock. Griffin runs over to where I lay restrained and begins punching the chains with his shimmering fist attack until they fully loosen up.

"I was so worried about you, Princess." he says as he picked me up bridally. "I hope you were not frightened."

"N-no. Just confused. I spent a lot of time in the dark. A bunch of different types of me came out of there and they were arguing. Then I woke up and you were here. I was getting shocked the whole time."

"I'm glad you are fine." he said as he pulled me closer to his chest.

"He got away." says Gray when he finally returns to the room. "How is she?"

"She's-"

"I'm fine. Griffin let me down." He obeys me and I slowly walk towards Gray. I held my sore body all the while. I stare into Gray's eyes and I watched his emotions dance. He's just staring at me with no emotion. Infuriated, I raise my and to him and slap in across the face.

"I guess I do deserve tha-" I interrupt him with a kiss. A kiss that I know he was waiting for. I grab the collar of the navy shirt he wore and pulled him closer with the arm I had around his neck. I could feel him giving into the kiss after he realized what was happening. It was a kiss full of passion. Passion that I knew I could never feel for Griffin, who stood there watching me quietly.

I pull apart from Gray and release him and his now wrinkled shirt collar. "If only you knew how you made me feel. If only you could've seen the butterflies that danced in me when you told me that you loved me." I whisper to him. "If only..."

"Arion..."
