I stretched and looked around. It didn't look so old and broken inside. I looked around and sat down on a hammock hanging up against the wall.
"It seems rather clean here for it being old." Jade said.
I nodded. "I know. That worries me. I saw quite sign out there to. It said Natsu and Happy. Wonder if they live here."
"Who in they're right mind would live in surprise place that looks like this?" Jade said.
"Me." I said with a small smile.
"Besides you." Jade sighed.
"Natsu and Happy then." I said.
Jade sighed. "I was trying to make a point. But never mind."
I smiled sweetly. This was a normal thing we did. Argue over mmeaningless stuff like what food I should eat and who would live where. She is my only friend. Of course we'd do things like argue and laugh.
"You should get some rest." Jade said. "While you can. I'll take first watch."
"First watch?" I asked. "You should sleep to."
"But what if we're found?" Jade said.
"Then we'd wake up." I said simply.
"But-" "Don't make me put a sleeping spell on you." I interrupted.
Jade sighed. "Fine, fine. But only for a little bit."
"We'll be fine." I said with a confident smile. At least, I hoped it looked confident.
Jade yawned and stretched out on a blue pillow. I smiled and laid down in the hammock. This would be the first time we both get some good rest in a while. Maybe coming to Magnolia wasn't such a bad idea. I yawned and curled up under my black cape and fell fast asleep.
"Who the heck are you?!" Came a loud voice.
I snapped awake and rolled/fell out of the hammock.
"Aaahh!" Jade screamed as she snapped awake. "Who are you?"
"I might ask you the same question." Came a second voice.
I rubbed my eyes and stood up. I looked up to see a boy with spikey pink hair and brown eyes.
"Oh... great." I muttered.
"See, Alex! I told you I should've taken first watch." Jade yelled as she tried to fly around a blue cat. Who was also flying.
"Wait, Alex? That's your name?" The boy said.
I nodded and messed with my cape.
"That's a pretty cool name." The boy smiled. "I'm Natsu. And that's Happy."
"You two live here?" I asked softly. Natsu nodded. "Yep. I smelled someone in here while I was coming back to sleep. Sorry if I scared you."
I nodded, confused why he wasn't mad at me. And wait... "You smelled someone in here? Do I really stink that bad?"
"No. He's a Dragon Slayer. He has a really good sense of smell." Happy said.
"You're a Dragon Slayer?" I asked.
Natsu nodded. "Yep." He smiled.
"I'm a Dragon Slayer to." I blurted out.
"Alex!" Jade said.
"What? That's awesome." Natsu said. "What kind of Dragon Slayer? I'm fire."
"Shadow." I said.
"Cool." Happy smiled. "Why are you in out house, though?" He asked.
"Oh, we just needed a place to rest up a bit. We were kicked out of our guild. And yeah." I nodded.
"Really? That's harsh." Natsu said.
"Oh! You can join our guild!" Happy said and flew onto Natsu's head.
"Yeah! Great idea!" Natsu said.
Jade flew over and landed next to me. "They're from Fairy Tail." She whisper yelled into my ear. "Say no."
"Sure." I smiled, ignoring Jade. "But sense I'm new to town, I might want to get to know my way around first."
Natsu nodded. "Okay. We can do that tomorrow. Get some sleep."
"What about you and Happy?" I asked.
"We'll be okay. We have a friend who let's us sleep over there." Natsu smiled. Happy chuckled. "Yeah."
I nodded. I was just to tired to think about everything that could go wrong. I'll think about that tomorrow. "Okay. Night." I laid down and was half asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
"You said you smelled Zeref." Happy said.
"I did. And still do. Maybe Gramps will have answers tomorrow." Natsu said and I heard the door close as he said that.
