Zara; Ok has any one else notice Arcin has been in a bad mood?

Lucy; Yeah I sure have. Gray was just standing there looking at her and she almost killed him.

Arcin; Shut up I'm tried, I got a snow day so I woke up early for nothing… I have books to read, stories to write shows to watch.

Appearing out of nowhere, in the most angered voice.

Both; Eeep!

They ran off, since she looked like she would kill them.

Arcin; I don't own Fairy Tail of its character. Only my own… Ugh to much to do tomorrow… anyways on to chapter 7… sigh tomorrows going to be a long day.

The Hurt Ankle

Chapter 7

(Zara's POV)

I went over climb he tree then lied their to get some fresh air. I quickly fell asleep and was having a nice nap for sometime. But like before I fell out of the tree.

"Ow!" I yelped as I was face first in the ground once again. "Why does this keep happening?!" I muttered. "Why are you on the ground?" someone asked?. "I fell out of a tree why else… which I was asleep in!" I growled.

I looked up from the ground. "Natsu?! Why are you here?" I asked I as got up. "Oh Lucy kick my out of her house." he answered. "Really, Natsu… I do not have any words." I sighed.

I've heard from Lucy about Natsu and coming into her house, always making it interesting there… sometime's not in Lucy best interest. He just gave me his goofy grin I rolled my eye's.

"So how are you feeling?" he asked. "I'm fine. I have medicine for many kinds of things one of them for stiffness… but it burn's, it feel's kinda like a fire, but you can't do anything, and it has a very strong smell with it, oh and anything that you put or if you put purse on it it hurts even worse." I exclaimed, but I saw something at the corner of my eye.

"So Natsu where's Happy?" I asked. "Oh! I'm not to sure." he exclaimed I then got tackled. "Eeep!" I yelp falling backwards, but I started to roll. I didn't want the cat to get hurt so I held him close. Then I felt a brick wall it hurt… a lot… and I mean a lot have you ever run into a brick wall! Try rolling into it fast!

"You okay Happy?" I laughed. "Yeah thank you Zara, but are you alright you took the wall full force." he answered I started to pet him. "Yeah I'm fine. I pretty strong I can handle many kinds of pain!" I exclaimed.

"Hey you guys alright?" Natsu asked. "Yes were fine I'm just scratched up that's all." I exclaimed taking Natsu hand to pull me up. "How do you stand going through all that?" Happy asked. "I am an accident prone… but my torrance level for pain is pretty high after getting attacked to close to bleeding out, broken bones, and a lot of braking through walls… don't ask why! My 'job' is not a nice one… the one's that can't stand it will likely die." I muttered.

"Die! What in the world do you do!" they both exclaimed. "Mix match of things that, most have the people that will kill you apart of it… the norm." I sighed. "That doesn't answer my question!" Natsu huffed. "What is this job of your's?!" He yelled.

"I can't… I'm sorry! It's dangerous, for most people, that's way few are apart of it." I sighed lying on the tree. "How can you stand something like this?" Happy asked sitting on my lap. "I'll say it's not easy… constant fear, that this could be the end! You have to be very strong emotionally, hard to break." I sighed. 'But even the strong break down at some point, but just of fear not killing themselves though. I've done it more than once.' I sighed.

I got a shiver up my spin so I stood up holding Happy. I felt the cold shiver again I quickly gave Natsu, Happy. "What's wrong?" Natsu asked since I gave him the cat that I wasn't minding with me. "I'm getting a bad feeling! You should get out of here, right now!" I exclaimed, the feeling was strong I could feel the aura from it.

I saw a shadow in the corner of my eye. "Happy! Natsu! Get out of here!" I growled, as the feeling intensified. "No were staying." Happy huffed. I didn't want to put up with this but I knew, I could move away.

I sniffed the air, then my ear twitched. "Look out!" I yelled pushing them to the ground, hurting my ankle in the process. I put my bracelets on them then got up my ankle hurting each step getting my sword out as i walked out. "Don't do anything stupid, I mean it!" I growled getting a sword. "I defiantly will love this job." someone laughed.

"Your the one that sent one of the letter right! What do you want!" I howled she came out of the shadows. "I want you dead I hate your kind! I did send a letter for you yes." she told me.

"Hey let us out!" Natsu exclaimed hitting the barrier *sweat drop* 'I did tell him not to do anything stupid right?!' "I'm not letting you out" I mumbled, then guarded the attack. 'I can't get distracted right now!' I told myself. "Dragon's fire!" I muttered an shot at her, she got out of the way and fired back.

"Your a bit sluggish… you must be in some pain, but it'll work in my favour." she laughed. 'Damn it! She noticed I guess she not as bad as a hunter I thought.' I gasped are blades quickly lock. "Electrified sword." I whispered and both of us got shocked, I went to one knee. "I hate getting hurt by my own attack." I groaned getting up from the ground.

It was it was a while until she used a cloud of smoke, and ran off. I took the barrier off them right before my anklet gave out. "You alright?" Happy asked. "N-no. I'm pretty sure I sprained my ankle, pushing you guys out of the way." I sighed I was rubbing my ankle.

"I'm sorry about that… I should have known after those letter's this would happen. I wish I wasn't a cults this is going to take a little while until this is healed." I sighed I went over to the tree and tried to use it as prop up. 'Even with my fast regeneration it will take a few days.' I sobbed.

"Ugh!" I yelped and fell back to the ground, I then leaned against the tree. "Are you just going to stay here then?" Happy asked. "I'll have to there's no way I'll be able to get to the place I'm staying… and I've used too much magic already." I sighed looking up at the tree. 'There's no way I'm going to use any more magic in front of them, and using the magic I'm thinking of using is a little to unpredictable, right now...' I sighed.

I closed my eye's but then I didn't feel the ground any more. "Hun?" I gasped and opened my eye's. "Natsu?! What are you doing!" I gasped he picked me up. "You need to get home don't you!" he huffed. "Y-yeah but you don't need to help me." I exclaimed.

"But we want to see were you live Zara" Happy exclaimed landing on my back. "Sigh I guess there's no use arguing, I'll get to my place at lest" I sighed I wrapped my arms around Natsu's neck. "Why are you guys so nice to me" I muttered resting my head on Natsu's shoulder. "Well your a friend aren't you." he answered.

"You've said that but… no ones been this nice to me before… that I can remember." I mumbled. "Really?" Happy asked I nodded. "People are afraid… yawn… of me. Afraid of what could happen… yawn... to them. I alone with Leaf and Aria, they partners in my mission. I haven't even know them for that long, for who they really are… they are friend, but lesson of knowing that anyone my die… makes hard to be friends knowing that." I yawned I closed my eye's I used a lot of energy today so I was a little sleepy.

I was tired but also didn't want to continue the conversation anymore… but I did at lest keep my promise to Leaf. I felt a couple tears running down my face I pretend to be asleep to listen to them, and get out of the conversation. "She's asleep Natsu. I guess things were pretty bad for her… I wonder what she went though?" Happy exclaimed.

"Um would you happen to know where her place is?" Natsu asked. "No! Why do you think I'd know!" Happy exclaimed. "Ugh could you 2 be any louder… I was sleeping." I groaned fake waking up. "Sorry! But we don't know were you live." Happy sighed. "I knew this was coming, no one actually knows where I'm staying yet so I'll direct you. Go to the beach." I sighed.

"The beach?" Natsu asked. "Yeah you'll get it when you see where I'm staying." I muttered. "N-natsu don't jump! Eeek!" I screamed as he jump down to the beach. "Where alright Zara now can you tell me which way know." he sighed. I looked around to see which way then sniffed the air. "That way! I'll tell you when to stop." I told him. I looked at the sunset smiling.

"Why are you so happy?" Happy asked me. "Oh nothing really I just never get board with the setting sun. I love the colours… but I also like what it means… well at home what it means." I sighed. "Really?! What does it mean?" Happy asked. "The coming night, love, the time between 2 days, really, but it also means we're alive." I sighed I looked over to the cliff.

"Stop Natsu!" I exclaimed right in front of the cave. "A cave." he exclaimed, I nodded. "Go inside nothing's going to happen, I'm here I'll make sure nothing happens." I told him.

He took me inside and saw the large space. "There's caves like this?!" Happy asked. "Nope! Me and my team did this, we don't have money but we have a lot of magic and time. So we made the cave to stay in." I exclaimed. "Wow! I can't believe that." he exclaimed I laughed at their expressions.

"Grandfather I'm back!" I yelled. He come out from a passage way, and saw me and Natsu. "What happened to you! Give her here!" he barked, taking me from Nstsu. "You know that letter that you told me about yesterday… yeah another one and well I was attacked talking to Natsu and Happy I pushed them out of the way, but hurt my ankle in the process. Then had to fight her off hurting it worse… I couldn't walk on it so Natsu and Happy took me home." I explained.

"Then I should thank you 2 for helping her, Aria can you bring some food out here… and the first-aid supplies." he sighed. I was in a chair Leaf wrapping a tenser bandage around my ankle, well Natsu and Happy were on the couch eating. "Leaf don't put it on to tight my foot needs blood!" I huffed.

"Sorry." he laughed. "So earlier today you said you went on a job with Loki right?" Happy asked. "Yeah I needed a guide since I was probably going to get lost, and still do until I'm use to finding things and places here. Mira chose Loki since he was the only one not busy at the time." I exclaimed.

"Is that all?" he asked. "Yeah he was just my guide, I took the mission alone." I exclaimed. I grabbed the crutches and went over to the couch. "Natsu, I've what kind of magic do you use? I know your apart of the magic guild right so you must use magic too right?" I asked. "I use dragon slayer magic." he told me.

"Dragon slaying magic so you kill dargon's? Why and how do you know that kind of magic?" I asked. "Igneel taught me." he answered. "Whose that?" I asked. "Igneel's a dragon." Happy answered.

"Really these dargon's here cool, I love dragon's!" I yelled. "You believe me?!" he asked a little shocked at my answer. "Why wouldn't I?" I asked tilting my head. "Most people don't believe that I was taught by a dragon, since there said to be extinct." he told me.

"Ahh extinct I wanted to see one here…" I wined. "Too bad we haven't seen one for sometime." Aria mumbled. "Any way you should be getting home right it's getting late." Leaf exclaimed. "Bye guys!" I laughed, going to my room, taking Aria wait me.

"Dummy you can't let them here that, yes that one place had them but here their no longer here, you don't know what will happen if they heard that…" I growled.

Time skip~ the next day

I went to Fairy Tail the next morning, but when I looked away I bumped into someone, and fell forward. "Oh I'm sorry are you alright?" he asked I looked at him.

"I'm alright I wasn't paying attention and ran into you. Sorry about that!" I exclaimed, was looking for my crutches he offered his hand I took it but I couldn't let go. "Sorry I hurt my ankle do you see my crutches?" I asked.

"Oh their over there." he exclaimed, he let go of my hand, to grab them but I had to put pressure on my hurt foot and I fell to the ground. "Oh I'm sorry! Here's your crutches." he exclaimed giving them to me. "So what's your name?" I asked him. "Kai. What's yours?" he answered.

In his voice it showed no emotion, I wounded why. "My name's…" I was cut off, I was already shaking his hand shaking his hand but someone called for him. I could see him better now and saw his cherry-blossm pink, and orange, 'what an odd colour!' spiky hair, and his brown green eyes, he was wearing a black cloak, I looked into the hood to see his face, and hair but I couldn't get anything detailed.

He looked my age, but similar to the man from my drawing. "I have to go, maybe well meet again." he told me, as I waved hiding my sadness. "Yeah." I chuckled.

'Sadly that won't happen. I'm sorry…' I muttered.

"Wait! How am I going to get up?! A-and were's the other crutch!" I exclaimed. I just sat there since there was nothing go to support me long enough to stand. "Zara! What are you doing on the ground?" someone called I looked.

"Happy! I'm kinda fell I'm having a little trouble getting up… and my other crutch is missing so I don't know how I'm going to get to Fairy Tail." I sighed. "Well I could go get someone, or I can stay with you, Natsu's coming this way so he could help." Happy exclaimed. "I don't want to be a bother." I exclaimed.

"It's fine Zara we like helping are friends." he told me and went on my lap. "Alright you can stay with me. Maybe you could help me find my other crutch!" I suggest, petting his head. I stayed with Happy until Natsu came by we we're laughing. "Happy where are you?!" Natsu called.

"Natsu over here!" he called back. "There you are, and Zara?! Why are you here?" he asked? "I fell, and can find my other crutch so I'm stuck here." I sighed, little disappointed.

"You need some help?" he asked, holding back a laugh. "Um…" I hasted. "Yes she does." Happy sighed rolling his eyes. He grabbed my one arm I held Happy and the one crutch in one and well Happy in my arm.

I put the crutch under my arm and Natsu was on the other side of me helping me well Happy was on my head. "I'm just being trouble again… great." I muttered under my breath. "Your not trouble. It's no trouble." he answered. "Maybe but… this is sad I keep needing your help. I kind of feel weak always getting help!" I sighed.

"Come on your not weak Zara!" Happy told me, I smiled at him trying to encourage me. Natsu brought me to Fairy Tail and we opened the door...

I just realized that I may not have described Zara's forms as wolf-dog and about them; I'll put it just down here.

Zara's battle gear/form unlike her dimensional one, lacks in magic strength, but excels in power, and weaponry. But unlike both battle and dimensional form, dimension battle gear has a balance of the two. I will put images up, show each of Zara's forms with the main weapon[s] of that form.

Battle gear/form; Blood red robe, with light armour shirt, a pair of black shorts covered by her black battle skirt with a belt across her hips tilted, half on the skirt, and the other half or her . Where's black lace up leather boots. Hair mid length, goes to the shoulders. She has pointed ears, often covered by her bands, has fangs but not the very noticeable, along with longer then normal human claws, her normal gold eyes much more pointed, and have small tints of blood red. Wears the same jewelry no change. Can use all kinds of weapons but often seen using the bleeding, moon, or dimensional blades, in order of use and strength. In this form she looks a little order and mature. Wearing dark make up, and red lips adds to the grown up effect. Wears a mask, owns many of them, but always keeps them on, to keep who she is a secret on her 'jobs' for what she does, is very dangerous so its best to keep who she is a secret.

The little scary fact the Zara doesn't know/remember is that the robe was once pure white but the scar on her shoulder, was the reason that it turned blood red, for it priced through causing much blood. Purulently turning it the colour of blood, which didn't bother her. That was her first official mission, with the New Haven defences force, wearing that gear which was then enhanced her clothing's defences.

Dimensional gear/form; light wight armour, a 'sleeveless' top the strap around her neck, with the separate sleeves at the elbow which hides the mark on her arm, was a purple, red colour. Black shorts covered by a long deep pink skirt. She wore a pair of heals that went a little above her ankles, they were a deep purple colour, with a strap wrapped around her ankle it was like plat forms with a thick heel good for running it worked with the form. Ears, claws, fangs, of a wolf-dog, eyes more pointed, half gold, half blood red. Hair long in a braid, jewelry the same, wears a mask. Looks older once again, but with lighter make up, and is a bit taller. often found using a magic staff, normally enhanced to wolf-dog dimension staff. The staff is metal-gem embrued, the top has her dimensional mark.

Dimensional battle gear/form; Very similar to the dimensional armour, but the skirt is blood red, the sleeves are longer and a deep red colour, with the ends golden rimed, the shirt was the same expect no golden rim the bottom and is the same colour, a semi length skirt that went to her knees, but had the gold ends as well, wore shorts underneath for fighting they are the same colour as before. She had a long black cape with a hood (some would call it a cloak) strapped around her neck by a golden chian. The shoes she wore was longs sandals (I'll call them the straps) go all the way to hers knees crossing one another. Much is the same expect, her hair is much longer tied up by cloth, and its still to her waste. Found using the bleeding blade and or moon blade. Can use any kind of weapon she wants she favours those two though.

In none of these three forms does the jewelry she wears changes unless noticed other wise.

I'm tired an got school tomorrow which is going to be a long day I got 2 test and thing to do, so that's all for this chapter.

Happy; Hey what about us!

I glare at them who was at my door. All freeze.

Zara; If looks could kill we would all be dead…

Lucy; L-lets go I'd rather not die or get on her bad side.

They run out of her room.

Yeah that's it for chapter 7, please review. See you in chapter 8

P.S. I was checking something and realized I made a few mistakes on the appearance I just came and fixed them sorry, I should have watched for that.
