Of Fire and Ice

"Wait, I'm confused. So you're a Dragon slayer, your parents were Dragon slayers, but your sister isn't?" Rogue asked and Harley and I nodded. "I wanted to be the black sheep in the family." She shrugged and I grinned. "It's a cool thing to brag about. Harley can be like, 'yeah, my whole family are dragon slayers, but me? Marionette.'" I said and Harley laughed.

Grey slid into the seat beside me and Salazar and Severus flew over while Ari was napping in the corner. Grey slid me another stein and the two dragons sat on the table in front of us.

"So..." Sting started as he walked up, leaning on the tables. "How is it fair that you have three dragons and the rest of us don't have any?" He smiled at me. "What was the nickname Lucy gave me? The mother of dragons? Yeah, that's me. Dragons and I attract each other, they find me, I find them." I shrugged.

He smiled and licked his lips. "Go out with me." He said. "No." I said back, sipping my warm beer. "Please go out with me?" He tried again. "No." "Why not?" "I have a boyfriend." I said and Grey tightened his grip around my waist and hips. "Ha! This loser! He's not even a dragon slayer! We're obviously superior..." He said and I cut him off.

"Aggredi." I said and all three of the dragons shot up and knocked him to the ground, standing over him and snarling. I still sipped my beer and everyone stared. "Okay, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" He cried and I looked over. "Sorry about what?" I asked. "Harassing you, and calling your boyfriend a loser." He said. "And?" I asked and he didn't answer.

I stood up and looked over at him over the dragons. "See, I would let you go, but you didn't realise your worst mistake. Not only did you insult Grey, but also every other person in the guild. Dragon slayers aren't superior. We're just as good as everybody else." I said calmly and Ari breathed smoke near him.

"Okay! Okay! I'm sorry I said dragon slayers were superior! I'm sorry for harassing you, and I'm sorry I insulted Grey!" He said, and started to panic. "Please just get them off me!" He said and I laughed. "Oh, I don't control them. I just asked them to do something for me. Their choice if they want to let you go." I chuckled.

Gajeel stepped up beside me. "C'mon, Henley. The guy looks like he's going to piss himself." He said and we both looked down at him. "Ya think? I kinda want to see that now I think about it. Gods, imagine the humiliation..." I sighed.

"Henley, that's enough." Erza said and I put my hands up in surrender. "Alright. Alright. Sedare." I said and the three backed up off of him. "Thank you." Sting sighed and brushed himself off as he got up off the ground.

"Do something to her again, and we won't hesitate to eat you." Ari threatened and the twins nodded. "Oh, they love me so much." I sighed happily and the twins flew to me for a hug. "I love you guys too." I smiled.

"You would let them eat me?!" Sting yelled. "They're living beings too. They have to eat. And really, I don't care what they eat as long as it doesn't make them sick or kill them." I shrugged.

"You're completely evil." He gasped. I just shrugged. "I've heard worse." I said, walking back to my table and going back between Harley and Grey.

My family.
