Caged Dragon

Chapter 3

(Levy POV)

"I am Lucy, Lucy Heartfilia and this is Natsu, leader of these dragons," the woman, Lucy, told us.

"And the others," Erza asked her.

"This is Wendy," Lucy told her pointing at the small blue dragon, "The iron dragon over there is Gajeel, the shadow dragon is Rouge, the one with antlers is Sting, the snake is Cobra, and the yellow one is Laxus."

'Why does that name sound so familiar,' I thought then I remembered and I looked at Erza.

"Didn't Master have a grandson named Laxus, he disappeared a few years back?" I asked the red-haired mage.

"Yes, it broke the Master's heart when did it happened, it was around the same time that Master's son, Ivan, was exiled from the guild," Erza told me, when the dragons heard the name Ivan, they started growl and hiss at the name, I looked at the yellow dragon, he was looking at the ground as Lucy tried to calm the others down.

(A/N Team Shadow Gear wasn't around then and Levy had just joined the guild)

"I guess, I better get started on that enchantment, how about I start with Natsu and you, Lucy?" I asked the blond.

"Alright," she told me and I started to work.

"Freed's here, with the Master," Erza told me, as Freed and Master walked into the room.

"I didn't know you were coming too, Master," I told him.

"It is alright, Levy, I didn't tell Erza so she didn't know either, I wanted to see these dragons with my own eyes," Master told me, Freed walked over to me and saw what I was working on. He pulled out the books that he brought with him and started to help me.

"How far have you gotten?" he asked me, looking at my notes.

"Not far enough," I told him, I was having trouble with trying to get one of the enchantments translated.

"Who is she?" Freed asked, pointing at Lucy, who was watching us work.

"That's Lucy, the big red dragon is Natsu and the blue feathery dragon is Wendy," I told him.

"Hello," Lucy greeted him, waving her hand.

"And that," he asked me pointed at me, I turned to see Gajeel looking over at me work.

"That's Gajeel, he is the one who ate those bars over there," I told Freed pointing at Gajeel's cell.

"Miss Lucy?" Master asked Lucy, "You wouldn't happened to be the missing heiress of the Heartfilia Railroad company." Lucy practically snarled at the name.

"I wish nothing to do with that man I call a father," Lucy told him, Natsu growling behind her.

"Sorry, how did you come across Natsu here?" Master asked her, Lucy looked at Natsu, her eyes started to glow green and he stopped growling.

"I met him when I was in the garden," Lucy told him, reaching to pet the dragon's mane, "I was crying in the garden, my mother had just died and I was mourning her. When I felt something touch my hand, I looked at my hand and saw that a small dragon was touching my hand, that was when I met Natsu and his father, Igneel, and they took me away from that house. 

After spending most of my childhood with Igneel and Natsu it was time for Natsu to make his own pack, so some of Igneel's pack member's children joined Natsu's pack to start it off. They were Gajeel, Rouge, Sting, and Wendy. Grandeeney, Wendy's mother, made sure that we would take care of her when she joined us. Well along the way, we met with Kinana and Cobra soon after we formed the pack, Laxus joined soon after that, but then one day these human mages came and they captured us. Luckily, Kinana was able to get away, but I was caught instead, I used myself as a distraction so that she could get away." She told us her story and at one point she started to cry, "The sad thing is we don't even know if she is safe or not, but I am glad that she was able to get away."
