Shattered (Fairy Tail)

24: Kitten's Back

Mouse's P.O.V

"Natsu killed someone!" The red head yelled. I held my finger to my mouth pleading for her to be quiet. If Snake found out that I was telling all of this to them, then I would be in so much trouble. I don't want to have him against me anymore then he is.

"I-It wasn't his fault. H-He didn't know what h-he was doing." I mumbled. It was true, Dragon wasn't in control of what he did, but he told me what happened. I was one of his best friends before I was split off.

"What do you mean? If you killed someone wouldn't you mean to do so." the raven haired scary male said. I looked to him and then shook my head. He doesn't understand me. He was never a slave like we were. They don't know what they did to us.

~.~

"D-Dragon. T-They're coming." I whispered over to Dragon. My cell was at the end of the hall right next to Dragon's, so we chatted a lot when we were locked up, but I would always worn him every time he let his guard down. That way he would be beaten by surprise.

Right now, Dragon was sitting in the cage with a collar locked around his neck. His wrists were locked next to each other in chains. In the center of the where he sat. This was before he was scared. This was before he gave up on someone coming to get him. So this was also before he actually listened to them.

Dragon flinched and then looked down the hall. There he was, the master of Dragon. The one with a the deep black Demon Hawk guild mark on his forehead. The large man walked down the hall confidently with a whip in hand. I moved back closer to the cement was as the chain around my neck clanged on the floor.

"Well Natsu. What do you think now? Is that chain working for you?" the man said in a hoarse laugh. Dragon bared his teeth and pulled against the new neck chain. Dragon didn't like being locked up, but he couldn't get out. The only time when he even had a chance was the rare time when the master's come down and feed us.

His master was carrying some old rotten mystery meat in a large tin can. I wanted that food, but I knew it was for Dragon. It's been a while since he's eaten. If Dragon doesn't eat soon, it would turn out bad for him. His master unlocked the metal cage and walked in. I watched as Natsu waited for the right moment. When his master picked up the dog pan, Dragon attacked.

He flailed his fists and bit down on his master. The whip was being slashed against Dragon's skin, but he still fought. I wanted him to stop. I wanted him to eat and not attack whoever walks into his cell. I just wanted him to stop rebelling, but he never really paid much attention to me. All he cared about was leaving.

Dragon's master got out of Natsu's reach, but just barely. He continued to whip Dragon over and over until he was on the ground grunting in pain. Then his master stepped on his head. It was like a way of telling Dragon that he lost the fight. Dragon tried to push himself up, but he didn't reach it. He was to weak from loss of food and water.

"We'll try tomorrow. Right Natsu." his master whispered before kicking him in the side and walking away. Dragon's cage was locked again as his master walked back down the hallway. As he walked away, he passed another master. This one was holding a girl by the arm.

She was short. Even though she's about 16 years old, she's only about 4'2" feet tall. Her fiery orange, extremely curly hair was cut is a fun rebellious style despite how cute she looked. Half of it was shaved down to a boy's length and the other half was curly and cut to end a little past her shoulders. Her skin was pale, but that didn't matter cause of how many scars and bruises she has. Cat ears, in a lightly light shade then her hair, was poking out from her head. Her green cat eyes was sad but also agitated at the master touching her.

She wore a plain black skin tight crop top that matched her think pain black leggings. On her exposed belly was a belly button piercing and a Saber-Tooth guild mark crossed out on her midsection. It went along with the bar and hoop earing on her cat ear. On her chest was a different tattoo. It was a diamond with a half diamond balancing on top point. To vine looking lines came out of the bottom point to twist up and around.

Dragon growled as she was locked back up in the same cage as me. We might have different master's but we still are held in the same space for the hope of making more room for other's. She smiled at me after her master left the room. I was so happy to see her return. It's been a while since she was on a trip with her master posing as his "girlfriend."

"I'm back." I gave her a big hug leaving her no time to say hi or ask Dragon what happened. She looked me up in down for any new marks. After she let out a breath she looked over to Dragon who was now sitting up. She smiled at him and reached her arm through the bars.

Dragon reached as close to the bars as he could before wrapping his hand in hers. They stared into each other's eyes passionately. They wanted to see each other without having to look past iron. They wanted to hold each other's bodies, not just holding hands. It's all impossible though. After all, we are slaves.

I looked over to the cage next to us. The only thing separating us was a iron barred wall. I shook my head when I saw the one inside of the cage. He's the one that always stares at me. The one that I always avoid for two reasons. For one, I don't like him. For two, he is jealous of Kitten and her relationship with Dragon. I saw him staring at them as they smiled at each other.

"I love you Kitten." Natsu whispered.

"I love you Dragon." Kitten whispered back.
