"So this is where the tracks end." May said getting off the last train stop.
She looked around, the town in Bosco, was know as the "red light district". May sighed before looking down at her map. I should leave here before night fall. May thought entering the city. Her stomach rumbled, but May was barely halfway towards her destination.
May descended down the train station's steps as a bunch of men in street clothes hooted at her. May tried not to laugh when she noticed most of the men were half her size. She popped a few cherries in her mouth while ignoring the cat calls she got from men, the ladies in the town wore too much makeup and they know it too. She entered a bar near the end of the district, and sat down.
"May I take your cloak little miss?" A man asked with an eye patch and and bad breath.
"Sure. Thank you," May said as he took it behind her back, "There are no pockets in that."
The man froze when she knew that he was looking for valuable items. He placed it on the coat hanger while grumbling. In the corner of the bar there was a man with long hair chewing on metal, while he watched the girl.
The bar tender came out, he had bags under his eyes behind the counter, his wife was visible. She had grey hair holding a little girl's hand as they made the food.
"What would you like miss?" he asked while wiping down the counter.
"Um, I would like a glass of water please." May replied to the man. He looked up at her and sighed.
"If you're not going to order anything that cost money then please leave... What is that?" He said as the basket of cherries caught his attention.
"These?"May asked picking up one, "This is a cherry. They are sweet but sometimes sour. Want to try some?"
The man nodded and took the cherry. May demonstrated on how to eat it, and the man watched. He slowly placed it into his mouth and smiled.
"This is good! I never knew this existed!" The man said while looking at the whole basket of cherries.
"Here you can have some, your wife and daughter might like them too." May said giving most of the cherries to him.
"Thank you so much. Dear, come try these cherries!" The man yelled as the wife rushed out. The daughter came behind her mom as she tried the fruit.
"No problem, I'm just heading towards the next country over." May said to the man and wife. The wife ushered the girl to get May some water.
"We've been wanting to get out of this red light district. We don't want our daughter to grow up here, but we cant leave, there are bad men that watch us. They damaged the bar really bad and we had to owe them lots of money." The wife said and May nodded, "My father is ill and I want to visit him, my brother has car but it runs on magic power. The only one who has magic power is him and he barely has any for us to make it out of town."
"I can help you if you can help me." May whispered to the grown ups.
"Really how can we trust you?" the man asked.
"Because I'm good a keeping promises, that's what Fairy Tail is about!" May said showing her guild mark proudly.
The wife gasp as she hit her husband on the chest.
"I'll start packing." She rushed into the back to get her daughter.
"Call her brother and ask him to drive it a few blocks away from here. Then I'll drive it out of the district. I need to get to my mission, real quick." May said to the man.
"Alright, but if we get caught?"
"Don't worry we wont get caught. I'd be in jail if I got caught with everything I have done." May laughed, "So what do you serve?"
"Thanks for the meal!" May exclaimed as she got up, "I'll be heading back here in 2 hours so please be ready by then."
May exited from the small bar so she can go window shopping before the departure. She looked around the district, which had very flashy clothing for sale. She shuddered at the materials, Jasper would tell May to never come here.
She walked down a few streets, a few blew their cigarette smoke in her face, she coughed giving them a glare. A few stores blinked by and a dress caught May's attention. It was a black and white kimono, the kimono had a checkered print along the edges, but the only downside to it was it was short. Not like knee high short, thigh high short. May entered the store not knowing she was being followed.
"Can I try this on?" May asked holding on to the fabric. The worker nodded ushering her into a stall.
May tried on the kimono and blushed, she knew the kimono was short but she didn't know the front and back part was separate. Both her legs were showing on the side. Maybe if I add knee high socks? May thought. She stepped out and did an air kick.
"I'll take it." She mumble, "It's so easy to move around in."
May took out a pen and wrote down the Fairy Tail address, and her name. "Bill it to here please."
To think there would be something I would buy here. May wrapped her red cloak around her neck and exited the shop. The same man from the bar, was standing outside by the door. May looked at him strangely, then walked away in the direction she came from.
"H-hey! Wait." he said reaching out for her.
Nope, nope, nope. May thought walking faster.
"I said wait!" he yelled.
"NO! I'm not one of those girls!" May said started to sprint away.
The man threw metal clasps at her but she dodged. She had sweat dripping down her face. What did this man want? She mixed herself within the crowds of people. The strange man clucked his tongue before returning to a dark ally.
"I'm back!" May said as she hopped on one of the bar stools. The lights were dimmed, and the man was cleaning the counter.
"My brother arrived a few minutes ago, he is worn out from driving over here. We must hurry." The lady said as she looked around. She led May to the packed items.
"Do you have a bag?"May asked as the wife looked for a bag. "Here."
May look the draw string bag and opened it. With the other hand she twisted her wrist. The packed item shrunken and May started to fill the bag with it .
"Here so we don't have to make trips and get caught." May said handing her the bag. The daughter held onto her mother's leg. She was shaking and May patted her head.
The man turned off the lights in the bar. He put on a coat and hat on, he did a quick look around the house before nodding. He picked up the little girl onto his hip.
"Alright lets go. We need to hurry." May said as she ushered them out.
They took a dark ally with turns and rats. *During this time a specific trio made it to the curse island and chased by a giant rat.*
"There he is!" The wife exclaimed as a man waved over.
They jogged towards the tented vehicle and hopped on. May closed the door and whispered, "hide until were out of the district."
She strapped onto the magic car and started it up. May glanced at her map of road ways before looking up. Alright I can do this. The car started out slow, so the people couldn't think of any strange things inside. May took a sharp left accidentally causing the little girl to bump her head.
"Owe." said the girl followed by the mother's shushing. May mumbled an apology and continued.
"Wait right there!" May heard a man yell. To be in fact, it was the same man as before, and it looks like he brought some friends in cars.
May tapped the wagon, hoping her magic worked. Rain drops fell onto her face. May looked up and saw it was a light sprinkle.
"Drip. Drip. Drop."
May shuddered at the voice. It was sharp yet gloomy. A woman with an umbrella came out she was wearing all blue.
"Oh My Master! You're so cute!" May yelled clinging onto the woman.
"It doesn't seem that there is anyone in here." said a man with white and black hair. May smiled as she knew the illusion worked.
"Duh. I was about to leave town." May said letting go of the girl, "Now I must go."
May walked towards the car, ready to drive again when a hand placed down on her shoulder. She looked up and saw the strange man from before.
"Wait little miss, you're from Fairy Tail are you not?" He said glaring down.
"I am. What of it?" May replied straightening her back, which she revealed her guild mark.
"I'm Gajeel from Phantom Lord. With me are the Element 4. So I want you to step away from this vehicle or this would get nasty." he said tightening his grip on May.
May placed her hand lightly on top of Gajeel's. She looked at him in a challenge.
"Now why would I do that?" May asked strapping on the arm band. May knew that he is only threatening her with words. Maybe because she isn't the target?
May started the car and blew her tongue out at him. She surged her power and the car flew down the alley. Grunts could be heard from the back, and May apologized to each one. "Sorry I can't I made a promise"
"Drip. Drip. Drop." water began to form next to May. May eyes grew wide and screamed as she shot magic at the crazy water woman.
"That's so not cute!" She yelled, "5 senses dragon Roar!"
"Water Lock!"She locked a water circle around May's head.
"Why don't you find love or something?"May yelled through the water, "You're still young do something more cuter."
"Love? Juvia doesn't need love!"
*Around this time Gray-sama sneezed, feeling a sudden chill. "Man, why do I feel something bad is going to happen?"*
"Get off me, woman!" May yelled as she flung Juvia's spell off of her. May heard a splat and cringed.
The cart bounced as it descended down a set of stairs. May didn't want to see the creepy people again so she added more magic into the car so it can move faster. She heard a distance drip, and she started to panic. The cart bounced turning suddenly to a dead end.
"Drip. Drip. Drop."
May knew she couldn't turn around because Juvia would be there, May started to back up when the car started bouncing on it's own.
"What is going on out there?" The father yelled, clearly could tell that he was furious.
"Um, there are trouble, and I'm trying to shake them off." May yelled towards the back.
"Sol is her-!" A man from underneath the car yelled as the car went flying into the air.
Screams could be heard as the red district ladies looked up to see a large vehicle above. With a thud the car landed on the roof tops, but it did't stop the car from moving. Roof tiles fell from the roof as the car clanked it's way out of the city.
"Good going Sol. You made us lose her!" Juvia yelled crossing her arms.
"You sure it's okay not to go after her?" The man with fire said with confusion.
"Yeah, she's not who we needed. She could of helped us getting her." Gajeel said with a smirk," Lucy Heartphillia."
