Yesterday went by so fast. Seemed like it took a minute. I groan and roll over a warm body next to mine, but this one's different. A mass of blue hair hits my eyes rather than pink hair and there is no overpowering scent of strawberries. Just as I'm getting out of my sleepy haze I'm yanked from the bed and pulled down stairs only to be pushed back behind the person who rudely awakened me. I'm met with blue spiky hair and a bare back with a few scars. I look around the body to see Natsu and Gajeel in the middle of a fistfight outside. I have to rub my eyes to make sure I'm seeing this right.

"So umm.. what's going on?" I ask 

"Natsu and dad are fighting." Gale replies 

"Thank you, caption obvious. Can I know the reason?" I retort 

"Natsu is mad at dad for something that has to do with you."

I mutter out an ahh before leaning into Gale's back wrapping my arms lazily around his waist and closing my eyes. He first tenses up then relaxes 

"I WANT MY DAUGHTER BACK!" Natsu yells 

"YOU ACT LIKE YOU LOVE HER!" Gajeel screams 

"I DO YOU MORON!"

"YEAH, THAT'S WHY SHE COME TO MY HOUSE CRYING YESTERDAY! THAT'S WHY SHE ALWAYS RUNS AWAY WHY SHE ALWAYS FEELS LEFT OUT WHY SHE HAS A HOLE IN HEART! BECAUSE SHE'S YOUR 'DAUGHTER'!" 

I can hear the impact as one of them socks the other in the face. I look to see Natsu on the ground with a nasty bruise on his face and hurt in his eyes. I watch them fight before Layla and Nash join on Natsu's side and Emma and Lia join on Gajeel's. Redfoxes versus Dragneels should be interesting, but I'm not in the mood for it. I let my arms fall from Gale's waist and walk in between the two families stretching and yawning. Everyone stops not wanting to hurt the fragile human. 

"Okay see I would love to see you guys fight, but it's just so early and I'm just too tired and confused." I say 

"Luna you have to come home." Layla says 

"Right the place where I train my ass off and still am never strong enough the place where I can't even sleep in my own godforsaken bed. Yeah no thanks, I'm going to have to pass you up on that." I say 

"Luna you know it's not like that..." Natsu begins before my icy glare cuts him off 

"Right because I don't sleep next to Layla so her scent covers mine. I may not have dragon hearing, but I can still hear when you talk about me. I'm not some little kid dad I can take care of myself. I mean look home many times I've snuck out of the house without you noticing. You act like you care so much, but I know you despise me for something that I can't control. I can't tell you how many hours I would make Gale spend at the library looking for an answer or some spell or the money and train rides I forced Gale on to go see Allie for some magical remedy? You have no idea what I have put into finding some damn answer and you know what I found it! I'm a fucking human! I'm not a mage or wizard. I'm just me and I'm okay with that. I know I'll never be able to join Fairy Tail and take jobs and go on adventures with my friends, but what I can do is help them when they get back and listen to their stories and I don't know I can get a job with Allie learning how to heal people using nothing but nature or at a library. I'm okay with being me. It's you who has a problem. Gale, Em, Lia, Levy, and even Gajeel have shown me so much love from being me. When I read, when I whine because a game is unfair to me, when I laugh, when I cry all the time. They make me solve my own problems. Gale literally watched as I tried to climb out of a hole for three hours. Em made me take out three guys by myself when I was ten. Lia made me do a mission on my own the only thing she did was made sure I ate. I did all that without magic. Yeah, okay I didn't come completely unscathed I have some scars, but, so do you. I'm still alive and I'm still me. You need to let me go." I finish off my speech.
