"Morning Alex." Natsu said loudly as he opened up the door, letting in the morning sunlight.
I groaned and sat up. "Morning."
"Good morning." I heard Jade mutter. She still sounded irritated for my decision to trust them. I thought about what could happen overnight and I wondered who Gramps was. And he smelled Zeref. If he reported me then I wouldn't be here now. If he just did then where's the magic seals and stuff. So, by now, I was leaning towards trusting them. I just couldn't tell them my full name yet. I saw how many posters were up around town with my name on it. Thankfully, they don't know what I look like. Yet.
"My friend said she'll meet us at the guild hall." Natsu said and grabbed a few things. He took off his vest and put on a different one. "Let's go." He said.
I nodded and tucked my hair behind my ears. "Come on Jade."
"If I must." Jade sighed and brushed off her green dress.
"It won't be horrible." Happy said.
"I wouldn't bet on it." Jade muttered and flew out the door.
"It's on the other side of town." Natsu said as he stepped outside. "Right on the hillside over there."
"Oh. Are we gonna have to go through town?" I asked.
"Or over." Happy said.
"Okay. I'd prefer over." I said.
Jade nodded. "It would be better."
"Okay." Natsu shrugged. "If you want."
Jade and Happy nodded and flew up. Jade grabbed me, choking me for a moment when she grabbed my cape, and Happy grabbed Natsu like they've done that thousands of times.
"Let's see how fast you two can go." Natsu smirked. "Happy." He said.
"Aye sir!" Happy smiled and shot away.
"Let's go Jade!" I smiled. How can I refuse a race?
Jade sighed and shot after the boys. I smiled and spread my arms out.
"You seem lighter." Jade said.
"You seem faster." I said. "What's your point?"
"My point is you seem more lively then usual. Usually you never crack a smile. A real one. Is it the Dragon Slayer and his pet?"
"Happy is not my pet!" Natsu called.
"Sorry!" Jade yelled.
"And to answer your question, it's not Natsu and Happy." I said. "It's the fact that I might actually have a chance at having a home. I lost my first home seven years ago when it sank below the ocean. And Raven Tail was a horrible place to call home. Fairy Tail might be more fun. If they're like what I've heard of them."
Jade nodded. "That makes sense. I remember finding you beside the ocean. You were so young. How old were you then? Five, six?"
"Six." I said with a soft smile. Jade nodded. "Yeah. You used to be so scared of hurting someone. You wouldn't dare to near anyone." She chuckled. "It was great watching you grow. Then when you finally got comfortable around people, the magic council started going after you." Jade sighed and slowed down. "You've been through some lot in your thirteen years of life."
I nodded and looked around as a lone building came into view. I watched as Happy slowed down until he flew beside me and Jade. "That's Fairy Tail." Natsu said. "What do ya think?"
"It looks cool." I said. It did look old and run down. But it couldn't be that bad.
"Just come on in." Natsu said as Happy set him down. "No one will mind."
I nodded and looked around. The sun was just showing through the trees and making the grass surrounding the building shine slightly. I followed Natsu down the stone path and the noise got louder as we got closer. Natsu kicked open the door with a wide smile. "Hey guys!"
A/N: Sorry if this sucks so far guys. I'm 100% new to this and am learning the ropes and stuff. (Whatever you call it) So, any feedback is highly appreciated. Thanks.
