Trust Me- A Fairy Tail Fan Fiction

Chapter 6

Ember sat up in her bed and stretched her arms above her head, reaching for the sky. She yawned loudly and then smiled. The sun washed her bed in a golden glow and it felt warm on her skin. Nunu’s wagging tail thumped on the bed as he slowly woke up. Ember giggled and wrapped the blankets around herself, cuddling up to the large fluffy hellhound.

“Isn’t this wonderful? This bed. Ugh. It’s like sleeping on a cloud compared to the ground!! And these blankets!!”

Nunu looked at her and snorted. She kissed his nose and smiled. “Oh, don’t be jealous, you know you were a good blanket too. But let’s be honest, you snore reallyyyy loud!”

Ember let out a genuine laugh as Nunu began to lick her face. She pushed him off of her gently and sat back up, and then she got out of bed. Her pet watched her as she walked around the large room and got dressed in her street clothes and packed up her essentials. When she was dressed and ready she grabbed a cigarette and lit it, sitting down at her small breakfast table and looking out the window. Nunu growled low in his throat.

“Don’t judge me dog. It’s not like I smoke all the time. But it feels nice to be able to wake up to a smooth stick of tobacco in my own place, and sit at my own table, while looking out MY window.”

She finished her cigarette and then laced her boots. She grabbed her hooded cape and cross body backpack and put them on. Unlocking the door she looked back at the hellhound.

“I would leave you here to relax for the day, but I have a feeling that I’m going to have to go on a job today. So if you are okay with that, we better get going.”

Nunu huffed and puffed in a way that only animals could and turned into his weapon form. Ember snapped the scythe to her back and walked out the door, making sure to lock it behind her.

Walking into the guild hall Ember noticed that for being so early in the morning a lot of people were there. Even Romeo, Macaos son that idolized Natsu, was there. And he was a presence that wasn’t very often seen this early. Even Makarov was already sitting on the bar. If she hadn’t already checked the time, she could have sworn she slept the entire day away and it was now late afternoon. But no, it was in fact bright and early in the morning.

She spotted Cana over at a table with Macao and Wakaba and went over to join her. The older men didn’t seem to mind and made a space for her. Cana, of course, was already drinking. In fact, so were Macao and Wakaba. And the smoke that poured out of Wakabas pipe circled above all their heads. Ember thought, they might as well be sitting at the bar.

“So how was your first night in your new place? Any special guests?” Cana smirked, wiggling her eyebrows.

“My money is on Laxus.” Macao nodded.

“No way, Bickslow.” Wakaba said with a shake of his head.

“Oh my gosh, what dirty old men. I had no guests!!! And Cana, it was wonderful. So comfortable.” Ember beamed.

 

Across the guild hall Natsu’s group was sitting together as usual. Lucy yawned, not ready to be awake yet. And Gray, Happy, and Natsu all shoved their mouths full of food. Lucy shook her head, realizing that she might as well go into the woods and hang out with the animals, because these three ate like some. Erza came over and joined the table, a small plate with a spongy cake with strawberries and cream right in the middle. She sat down delicately, smiled at her cake, and then began to eat it.
