White Heart

And Then There Were Three

"Sorry Sweetheart, "Sting whispers as he reaches his arm up. "White Dragon Talon!" A white slash burns my stomach. I reach up to punch Sting but find I am unable to move. Sting turns his back towards me. "You need to stay out of this Princess, " he grumbles with his face partially rotated in my direction. He shots of towards Natsu again. I look down to see a familiar magic circle on my now bare stomach.

"Fuck!" I shout as I struggle to move. "He'll pay for this!" 

Then I remember how Natsu got this thing off of him before. But I can't burst in flames like he can! UGH!

"Use your emotions. " Gray smiles, "It's the source of your power."

"Yes that's it!" I shout aloud, "Thanks Gray." I grunt at my lack of movement. I'll start at the beginning. I've got a lot of shit to be pissed about. "Deliora destroying my home town," I begin, "Waking up to find my parents' mutilated bodies." I can't feel any difference. I need more. "Losing Ryujin," I start again, "Growing up freak." I feel my body temperature warm. "Being hunted like an animal," I continue, "Jumping from city to city because people were afraid of me." I feel a heat growing inside me, but I have to keep going. "Almost destroying the one home I've ever had," I hiss, thinking about the guild hall, "Losing seven years of my life on Tenrou." No I need more! "My family suffering at the expense of our absence!" I shout, "Them being humiliated and their names being dragged through the mud!" A growing burn activates in my skin, but it's not enough. "Fairy Tail being laughed at!" I yell, "Wendy getting attacked!" It's emerging. "Raven Tail going after Oska!" I shout, "Laxus fighting his own father!" My blood is on the edge of boiling. "Minerva capturing Flare!" I cry, "Lucy beat to a pulp!" I have to keep going. I'm almost there. "Being poisoned like a criminal!"I scream, "Being used like a fucking whore!" I don't even care who hears. My skin is on fire! A blood-curtailing screech emerges from my mouth. Every muscle in my body tenses. I feel Sting's magic circle disappearing. My body relaxes slightly. It worked! I con't believe it actually worked! As I stand I notice ocean blue scales running down my arm. What the fuck is that? I look up and notice boiling water vapor whooshing around me. I feel my hair standing on it's end. Wait? Is this what I think it is? Is this my Dragon Force? Peeking up at the previous battle to see Sting, and a newly joined Rogue both gawking at me. "What?" I question innocently. I then see Natsu on the ground passed out. But before long he stumbles to stand upright and smirks at me.

"About time you got up, Lazy Bones," he complains, " Leaving me to do all the hard work." I hang my mouth open at him. I stomp over to him.

"Why you little..." I snarl. He chuckles at my frustration. "You're one to talk! You were lying one the job," I snap back, "I saw you!" He growls at my remark. Before we know it we're tumbling around on the rumble pulling each other's hair and pinching the other's cheeks. I could feel our guildmates groan in embarrassment.  When we finally settle down, we're both out of breath and sitting our bums. We begin to laugh at our own childishness. Natsu playfully punches me in the arm, but a little too hard for my liking. So I roughly shove him over. He growls as he falls on his side. He hops up and glares at me.

"Why'd you do that, Y/n?" he shouts.

"Do what, Flame Brain?" I yell back. Natsu runs towards me, but I dodge him and kick him further. My kick shoots him across the arena. He screams as he tumbles down an old mine cart path.

"Y/n just shoved her own teammate through an abandoned tunnel," the announcer shouts.

"Hey, " I shout turning my head back up to the surface, "It was on accident!" I then sigh, looking down at the rubble on the ground. "Guess I'm not used to my strength." I laugh off the last part of my phrase.

"But how-" Rogue questions only to be cut off by me.

"Now's the time for payback," I grin at their shocked faces, "Oh did you forget about that little insult from earlier?" I laugh at the memory. "Not to mention all the other shit you put me through," I growl at Sting.
