On Thin Ice (Fairy Tail fanfic)

Chapter 1

Footsteps resound in the mansion's hall as Heather leaves. She carries in her hand a gift for the guild master from the man who had requested her help.

"Wils..." Heather mumbles, trudging down the winding steps of the spiral staircase.

"Yes, Heather?" Wilfred, Heather's flying cat, asks, looking at his partner. With her face casted downwards; he could sense something was amiss.

"Am I a bad person?" Heather asks, looking at her blood-stained boots. Just by looking at the bright red color,

Just earlier, Heather had to keep her client alive in order to finish the mission. Unfortunately, the man was wanted by a couple of hitman, under the orders of a rich man. Being pressured and surrounded by the hitmen, Heather was forced to use the worst solution.

"It's not your fault Heather; you had no choice. You couldn't leave the man there." Wilfred hovers over Heather's head and hugs it, burying his golden face in the soft locks of it.

Heather sighs in relief. "I guess you're right. There was no other choice." She nods and exists the house.

"I guess it's time to go back to our family." Heather says, a bright smile forming on her pale face.

CRASH

"What's with all the ruccus?" Heather groans, frustration visible in her tone.

"Shhh, let's go back to sleep Heather." Wilfred complains, lighlty slapping her face.

"Mu~" Heather whispers, her nose itching. "I think I can smell Natsu..." She mumbles, her eyes almost closing.

"Your nose is dreaming, princess." Wilfred whispers, already dozing off to sleep.

"Princess..." With that final word, Heather dozes off into a deep sleep. All the strain she put on her body for guarding the man for three sleepless nights and three agonizingly busy days made her want to sleep for a whole day.

As the Eisenwald took over the train, one of the members noticed something. "Hey, there's someone in here!" He shouts to his members and they gather to see a sleeping girl with a cat beside her.

"A girl!?" One asks incredulously.

Kageyama turns to the man. "I thought everyone already evacuated the train!" He scratches his head in frustration.

"Tie her up!" Erigor shouts, glaring at Kageyama. Kageyama stands straight and orders the others to go get a rope to tie the girl up.

"Nngh..." Hearher groans with her head throbbing. She tries to move, but it seems like she can't. She looks down and sees that she was somehow tied up. "What...?" She grits her teeth in annoyance and shuts her eyes shut, trying to control her anger.

"I knew you'd come, Fairy Tail." Erigor, the leader of Eisenwald announces the arrival of Fairy Tail.

"Fairy Tail..?" The anger Heather felt slowly starts to decline and she slowly opens her eyes. She sees her fellow guildmates and wonders as to what is going on. She tries to get a hold of everything while the two guild converse. Her nose twitches again, just like back in the train. "So that's why..." She drops her head and her body lightly shakes.
