Hi. Hoping to satisfy your hunger. You lot aren't reading these chapters. You DEVOURING them. It's scary. But, I'm sad. My iPod broke, and I live for my music. Please review? ONIGAISHIMASU!

You guys have already voted, and stuff. I just wanted to see if your opinions have changed.

Sirius is Canis Major.

Also, in your review I want you to tell me what information you think is important and what conclusions you could draw from it. I want to know what you think. THEN I WILL CRUSH YOUR INFORMATION AND BLOW YOUR MINDS BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD EVERYTHING ALL FIGURED OUT AND I WILL BE LIKE "LOL NO BITCH! YOU IS WRONG!" MWA HAHAHA. Because I'm evil like that ^_^

But I do love you. :)

Oh, I started watching S.A! It really give you the warm fuzzies! You know in an anime where it like "AWWW THAT'S SO CUTE!" And you start squirming in your seat and have this high-pitched squeal going on inside your head? And I finished it but the end was a bit lacking I wanted a proper kiss! :(((((((

I should stop typing or the authors note will be longer than the story.

Don't you hate that? When the story is like-

Sting: Rose.

Rose: Huh? What?

Sting: Shut the fuck up.

Rose: Okay…. *emo corner*

Sting: She doesn't own Fairy Tail either. Just so you know.

Rose: Oh, yeah! And I got Acrylic Nails so its sooo hard to type now and-

Sting: ROSE!

Rose: Gomenasai! *Depressed again*

-Shari-

I throw her over my shoulder and walk back to the hot springs to collect her clothes. It'd be stupid to deliver Lucy to her friends in the wrong clothes, it'd be obvious that someone had found her. I pick up her dress and underwear, strip her down and replace the clean clothes with her tattered dress. Something small and silver falls onto the ground in a clatter. Curious, I bend down and pick it up, it's in my hand for half a second before it glows red and scalds me. I drop it with a scream. I crouch beside it, momentarily forgetting about my charge, and inspect it. It was a celestial key, that much I knew. It was silver, so it couldn't be particularly strong, but even so I didn't recognise the symbol on the handle. I guess it was one of the weakest, so I hadn't learned about it. But then, why had it burned me when I picked it up? Lucy groans and shifts. She can't wake up now! Her eyes flutter and open for a split second beforeI panic and wipe her memory clean again. Shari you stupid! People shouldn't have their memories erased twice in 48 hours, the side-effect could be astronomical. She could lose all her memories, or be unable to transfer new memories into long term ones. Oh, well. She wouldn't be my problem, and it'd take a while for the side-effects to appear, so it wasn't like it mattered. I pick her up again and make to leave, I stop at the door and stare and the key. After a few minutes of deliberating whether I should pick it up or not, I huff, roll my eyes and walk out of the room.

-Natsu-

Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy…

Her name runs through my head the only thing there aside from fear. I couldn't lose her, it'd crush me. Lucy… My partner in crime, my guild mate, my team mate, my best friend, my other half, my mate. I jog at a steady pace, Happy high above me, both searching for our lost friend.

"I'm Lucy, thanks for your help!"

.

.

.

.

"I may not look like it but I'm a wizard too!"

.

.

.

.

.

"Will it end like this?"

.

.

.

.

.

"You're an idiot Natsu!"

.

.

.

.

.

"What are you doing?"

.

.

.

.

.

"You can't give kisses to just anyone!"

.

.

.

.

.

"You're my best friend in the world Natsu."

.

.

.

.

.

"Yeah, yeah I love you too."

.

"Natsu!"

I love you Lucy. Stay safe until I find you. My beautiful girl, Lucy…

-Shari-

I dump her on the ground, her wounds from 'playtime' with Shardas and Darrym are still bleeding and it stains the grass around her. She's motionless, and at a first glance appears to be dead. I poke her cheek, even in near death and covered in her own blood, she's still quite beautiful. She was brave and strong, she wasn't scared of any of us. I want to protect her. What the fuck brain? She could help us all. If her and her friends defeat mother, all of us could live. You and Axle could be together. You wouldn't have to fear death for years. You could help her a little. You know how. I freeze. I did know how, I could keep tabs on her harmlessly, without her knowing and in doing so keep her a little safer.

My ears prick and tune in to my surroundings, a little ways off there is someone calling her name.

"Lucy! Where are you?"

Making a split decision I cut off an inch of her hair at the front and shove it in my pocket. I slip off my silver ring and shove it on her middle finger.

"Lucy?"

A boy about Lucy's age crashes through the thicket. Half is body is coated in scales and his ears are pointed at the tip. Shit. In one hand are Lucy's keys and the other is clenched into a fist.

Fight or flight Shari?

He doesn't seem to notice me. He charges past me, when he reaches her he slumps beside on the ground and cradles her head in his lap.

"Um…"

He turns to me and hisses. His ears flatten against his skull and I back away.

"Lucy!" A flying cat drops from the sky and lands a few feet away from the dying girl. I barely get a second glance as the cat makes its way over to the couple.

"Lushi?"

The boy, now completely human again, stands and turns to face me.

He doesn't speak but his eyes convey his words.

What did you do to her?

"I'm trying to save her. Honest!"

Lies. His body contorts again, scales etched onto his forearms and cheeks. Ears coming to a steps forwards, eyes glinting.

"No."

I'm going to kill you. He hisses and his eyes glow red. And enjoy it.

I step backwards and he follows me, stepping closer, I raise my arms in a weak attempt at defense defense. I don't want to fight anymore. I don't want to cause anyone more pain or suffering. I don't want to kill. I don't want to be afraid anymore. I just want to be free.

I trip over a tree root and fall on my bottom. I back away on my hands and tears spill forth from my eyes. My assailant's advance slows slightly, or was I imagining it?

I don't want to die. I want to live. But I wont fight for it. I don't want to fight him. Please, kami, save me. Help me.

~Do you know the Dragon of Death?

A silent, black, ominous foe,

This one is deadly, sure to bring bring swiftly,

The death of all those in light~

He growls and crouches. I flinch and scream as he lunges towards me.

"Axle!" I'm sick of this life, but I know there's something better out there. That's why I don't want to die. I'm still hopeful, I want my freedom.

His clawed hand swipes down and scrapes the top of my head. I whimper and my body shakes, waiting for the blow that would surely kill me. After a moment I feel his presence leave from in front of me. I open an eye and see him tenderly lift Lucy's lifeless form into his arms. His cat friend lands on his head and they walk off together.

"Bye, bye lady! Thank-you for helping our Lucy!" The cat says. "You don't have to worry anymore, we'll keep her safe."

They leave and I lean over and promptly throw up my breakfast. Why did he leave me alive? My arms begin to shake and I fall forwards into the mess I'd just made.

"Whoa." Strong arms catch me and pull me into an embrace. "Careful Shari."

"Why are you here?" I ask him quietly.

"You called for me. I promised you didn't I? I'll always be there when you need me Shari. If you call for me I'll come running. I'll do everything in my power to keep you safe."

For the first time in my existence, the corner of my lips lift up in a small smile. I nod.

"Thanks Axle."

He kisses the top of my head. "Anything for you Shari."

-Natsu-

Why didn't I kill that girl? Did I want to? Yes. Why? Because she hurt Lucy. You don't know that. It's more than likely. Didn't you see it in her eyes? She had given up. I need to look after Lucy. Lucy is my priority. She's dying Natsu. I'll take her to Wendy. You might be too late. I won't be. She's dying in your arms. Her blood is staining you. I promised to keep her safe. Even if she refused my help. I won't abandon her now. Who did you promise? Her mother and father. I visited them and promised to take care of Lucy. After years of pain, Fairy Tail is her home, we are her family. Families support each other. Like your parents? They abandoned you. Lucy's mother died, leaving behind a broken girl in the hands of a monster. Lucy's father hated her. It's not Layla's fault. And Jude apologised and if Lucy accepted him I will too. Lucy doesn't love you. She does. Not in the way you want her too. Will you be content with her being with another man? If she's happy that's fine by me. You're just lying to yourself. I can deal with it.

"Natsu?" Happy's voice brings me back to the present. "Lucy's not going to die is she?"

Everyone in Fairy Tail had abandonment issues it was just part of our history. People were left behind as children, me, Gray, Erza, Lucy. We all had depressing pasts and things we'd rather forget. But that's what made us who we are. We'd lost Lisanna at one point and that was definitely a low for us, but if Lucy died…

I shake my head and my walk turns into an awkward run. I will not let her die.

-Levy-

I shudder in my seat, causing Kinana to turn to me worriedly. Cana, drinking beside me ignores me. Since the boys had left, we were a tight-knit group. Often referred to as 'The Dragon Girls' with matching scale patches, we rarely separate.

"Levy?"

I smile. "I'm fine. Can I have another drink please?"

She doesn't look convinced but she doesn't question me further. There was no point telling her about the dream that plagued my sleep.

I see Gajeel and call out to him, but he doesn't hear. His expression is one of complete and utter fear.

"Gajeel!" He doesn't hear again, and starts running.

I follow him, panting heavily after only a few minutes. A large shadowed beast rises from the lake and swallows Gajeel whole. Then it turns to me clawing open my stomach, from my blood a black egg forms. Then the dream warps. I'm standing in the Guild, side-by-side with Gajeel watching a little boy play in the dirt. The dream warps again and I'm in bed with Gajeel, who's singing to himself softly.

~Do you know the Dragon of Iron?

Tearing his enemies limb from limb.

This elusive beast's roar comes from the west,

And he takes you in the night~

At this point I wake up, usually covered in sweat and starving like I'd just run a marathon.

Kinana hands me a mango smoothie.

"Thanks."

"I know that song too."

I look up from the drink and look into her green eyes.

"Huh?"

"The dragon song. It's an odd song isn't it? Cobra used to sing it all the time."

"I don't-"

"You were humming it just now." Cana informs me. "Another barrel please Kinana." Kinana disappears to find the said barrel.

"I know it too. I had it in my head after Laxus and I did The Nasty."

"Too much info Cana."

Kinana returns, Cana pulls the cap off the barrel and takes a drink.

"It makes him seem like a big softy." Cana laughs.

"What does?"
"The song."

"Let's hear it then."

Cana clears her throat and begins singing, her voice slightly raspy but not unpleasant.

"~ Do you know the Dragon of Lightning?

Cruel and callous though he can seem.

This beast is lonely and is never seen,

In a group more than one~"

I frown. The words were vastly different to the ones I know.

"The lyrics are different." Kinana says quietly.

"So are mine."

"Go on then." Cana says lifting the barrel to her lips.

Kinana opens her mouth and sings her verse of the song. Her voice is sweeter than Cana's, almost as pretty as Mira's

"~Do you know the Dragon of Poison?

Draining the life from his foes.

His poisonous gases seep into the hearts,

Of those who ever do wrong~"

"That's really different." I say.

"How does your verse go?"

I quickly recite the words of Gajeel's song.

"Not a singer huh?"

I shake my head. "Maybe it's like a lullaby or something."

"Maybe." Kinana says.

"Kinana, can you take care of table 4 please?" Mira calls.

"Ah, sure!" Kinana looks at us. "There might be something in the library. Try having a look."

She picks up her tray and leaves. "I wouldn't bother." Cana says between mouthfuls. "It's probably just a song that they know and because of the Dragon voodoo shit that goes on, we know it too. I wouldn't worry about it."

"I guess so." I sip my drink and stare across the floor. I wonder how Lucy's doing? Maybe I should pay her a visit.

So, should Levy go visit Lucy? What's going on with the song? Why are you not writing reviews? Maybe questions will be answered. Maybe they won't. It depends on what YOU want. And I don't know what YOU want unless you review. So review. Okay? :) Love you~
