The Dragon and the Cat (Chloe and Rose)

Chloe had been roaming the cliff extremely bored and slightly lost. She had decided to take a break from the big city she calls home to glance at this supposed calm place to visit. It was a bit of a distance from Magnolia, but it was fine when she brought everything she needed to camp out for two nights. Chloe arrived at the cliff and instantly through her bags down. She looked down at the waterfall rushing below her and wondered what it would be like to swim up it. But before she even thought about that, she sat down on a log and calmly waited, her feet and legs tired from all of the long walking to get there. So far the area was very calming, like she expected it to be.

Rose stumbled onto the Serene Cliff with a tired and stressed look in her eyes. The bags under her eyes said that she hadn't gotten any sleep in a long time. She saw a girl standing there and she slowly stumbled over there. She took a whiff of the air and noted that the girl was a Dragon slayer so she crept up behind her and slowly took a deep breath before speaking in a low and growling voice "Hey Dragon... Can you help me hunt some Animals..." she said with an emotionless expression on her face.

Rose didn't care if she scared the girl because after what she had been through a couple days ago she wouldn't care if anyone was scared of her. She was half naked with just her bra and her panties on. Her scars were able to be seen by anyone who saw her and if anyone asked her about them she would immediately turn on them and start being mean.

"Um, Sure? whats the prey?" Chloe said curious as she turned around to see a half naked, tired, and scarred cat lady asking her to hunt. Chloe dislikes hunting, leaving people injured, and indecency. Chloe agreed though, sensing the seriousness in her voice. Chloe followed the cat lady, deciding to conform to ensure she could get conversation out of her. She took off her top and skirt, leaving her half naked like this cat person, with her own scars from her injury now showing. Also the scales on her arms and shoulders now showed, from her being a second generation dragon slayer. Of course she kept her gloves on but that was a given. She was unsure of how to talk to this person so she simply said, "Lemme know if you need help patching up your injuries."

Rose stared at the girl as she stripped down. Her facial expression almost showed a bit of surprise but it still looked the same. Rose slowly opened her mouth to say something but once she saw the other girls scars she closed it. She glanced at the forest behind them and then back at Chloe "Any thing we can get our hands on..." she muttered before summoning her two guns into her hand.

She glanced behind her at the dragon "I dont need your help with my wounds..." she said bitterly as she turned around and walked into the forest without saying a word.

"Alright." Chloe said nodding as she took her sword from her bag and began walking with it. She grasped Hydrias and followed the girl quietly, trying to stay silent and not alert anything they were hunting. She still could not believe that Chloe and this girl were roaming around the woods wearing nothing but underwear. Chloe had to admit though, the girl did look good in her bra and panties. Eventually, Chloe saw some animals in a clearing and drew her sword, unsure of how the cat woman would deal with this. "Hey, Can I at least know you name?" Chloe said shyly.

Rose eyes some wolves in a clearing and slammed her guns together to create a big gun. She ignored the girls question and shot the wolf right in the leg. The other wolves charged at her She shot one in the head and another one bit her leg. She winced at the pain as it was unbearable and she bit her lip to avoid screaming.

She hoped this girl would help her by killing one of these wolfs or at least getting it off of her. She shot the rest of the wolfs but got taken down by the wolf that had bit her. The wolf was now standing over her, paws on her legs so she couldn't shoot it.

Chloe instantly got on the defensive when the wolves began attacking. She always hated killing animals, but the situation called for it. She prepared an attack to go for the last wolf, but the situation changed. As soon as the wolf bit the cat girl, she had a new priority. She body slammed the wolf and was instantly bit in the arm by it. While it gnawed at one of her arms, she swung her sword and killed it. Before she even thought of anything else, she instantly ran towards the girl and started healing her leg with her magic, "is that better?'

She didn't know what happened but that girl had saved her and she was thankful. After the girl healed her she didn't say a word but instead got up with a nod before walking over to the one she had shot in the leg. It was alive but in pain.

She knelt down and pet the wolf on the ears "Sorry about this... rest peacefully..." she said as she bit into its neck so she could suck the blood out of it. It took a few minuets but she was finally done drinking and stood up, wiping excess blood off of her lip with a sigh. She stared at the girl who had saved her and stared at the group "Rose..." she muttered as she took a step closer to the girl "Rose Blackthorn is my name..." she said as she looked at the girl up and down "Thank you for helping me..." she said with a sincere tone in her voice although her face stayed the same.

Chloe finished healing Rose and got up, her arm still in serious pain from being bit. "Chloe Aquas!" Chloe said very happy with a smile as she looked at Rose, still having hope they can be friends. Chloe wanted to know why they were hunting, and now rose  revealed she is a vampire. Chloe prefers to not judge people for things like that. Eventually she smiled and said, "wanna head back to the cliff?"

Rose stared at the girl in disbelief and hesitantly nodded. She turned around and headed back towards the cliff. Once she got there she sat down on the ground. She hadn't smiled at all since she had met Chloe and she acted rude to the girl, but the girl had helped her anyway.

Rose made people scared it seems like. Humans were scared of vampires although Rose would never drink a persons blood unless they actually needed it, No matter how hard she had to resist. She didn't have any friends so she never had anyone to talk to. She had a girl friend though... but she was nowhere to be found.

Rose looked at Chloe with the same emotionless face she had on before "Chloe, your not scared of me?" she asked with a bit of strain in her voice.

"Course not!" Chloe said smiling as she went and sat down next to Rose, looking down the cliff and the great view that can be seen from there. She smiled and flopped the girl's cat ears for a moment, "And your ears are even kinda cute" she said with a smile as she went into her bag and tossed the biggest clothes she had to Rose. Her biggest clothes looked like they would fit Rose well. "There ya go, I will feel guilty if I wear clothes while you aren't." Chloe said as she picked up her own clothes that she put down when she met Rose. She put them on and looked away just in case.

Rose heard Chloe answer and felt a small bit of happiness inside of her. She didn't even care that Chloe just touched her ears and in fact she kind of liked it. She didn't know what she felt about this girl but she did know that she didn't dislike the girl. Chloe was cheerful and she liked that about her.

Rose blushed when Chloe pulled out some clothes for her. She grabbed them hesitantly as it reminded her of when her and Orin first met. She didn't really wear clothes but she did not want to make the girl sad after helping her so she gladly took the clothes and stood up.

When Chloe looked away Rose felt like laughing "Relax I am not taking anything too revealing off..."she said as she put the clothing on and sat back down. She looked at Chloe for a while with her expressionless face before suddenly smiling a bit "Thank Chloe..." she muttered in a warm tone. This was the first time she had smiled in a while. She thought about it for a while before looking to Chloe again "Hey Chloe... Would you maybe want to be friends?" she asked with a small blush on her face.

Chloe smiled when Rose smiled, happy she was able to start breaking this girl's shell. She looked back at the girl and admired how happy she looked and how weird she must look to this girl. Just an extremely happy girl roaming the woods. "Anytime!" Chloe instantly said, remembering it wasnt really much to pull some clothes out of her bag. Chloe noticed when the girl blushed and looked towards her happily, giving her the "its ok" look. Eventually she smiled and said, "I'd love to be your friend Rose!" she said as she tried to hug this girl, breaking the ice further.

Rose stared at Chloe for a second when she said that she would love to be her friend. Once Chloe tried to hug her it was like all of Roses emotions were set free. She hugged Chloe for a while before squeezing her and pulling away with a warm smile. It had been a while since she had hugged someone and she liked it a lot.

She stared off into the view that the cliff gave them and let out a small sigh "Some people wonder around the earth without any real goals..." she said with a bit of sorrow in her voice "Me? I have a goal... I am looking for two people important to me..." she muttered as she closed her eyes.

Lance, the boy she took care of when he stumbled his way into her tribe in Joya at a young age. And Orin, The girl that she loved the most out of everyone.

Chloe became very happy when Rose hugged back, because it finally seemed that these two would end up being friends. She smiled and said, "Im just roaming for the sake of roaming. I need break from the city." Chloe said as she looked up into the sky when she heard about what Rose's goals. She instantly giggled when she heard this and said, "Do you loooooooove one of them?" Chloe said smiling that was finally able to become friends with this girl and start asking her these type of questions.

Rose blushed when Chloe asked if she loved them and she looked at Chloe with a smirk. She had never really thought about it like that before. She knew she loved Orin but Lance she wasn't sure about. After thinking over it for a while she looked over at Chloe with a smirk "I guess you could say that." she said with a laugh as she stared off into the sky "I know Lance and Orin are out there somewhere..." she muttered as she closed her eyes "I will find them again one day..."

Chloe smiled with her response and looked around the cliff before putting on a stern face. "well your not gonna find em roaming around in the middle of nowhere!" Chloe said as she got up and actually thought about a friend she knows named Lance. She thought about him before she looked back at the sky with her cheerful demeanor back. "I know a Lance. Lance Knighthunter. He's in my guild." she said with a smile, sure that it was a coincidence.

When Chloe mentioned Lances name she quickly got on her knees and grasped Chloes hand "Please tell me where he is!" she said excitedly as she wore a bright smile on her face. This girl brought out the cheerfulness in her and made her happy. She was having a fun time being around Chloe.

When Rose was 8 Lance had fallen upon her tribe in Joya at the age of 6. She made it her responsibility as the princess of her tribe to take care of him and raise him. Although he left 10 years later and never came back to her tribe.

Chloe smiled and said, "Well he lives in the city of Magnolia. Same city I live in." Chloe said as she got up and strecthed and said. "Gather your things, Ill take you there for a visit." Chloe said with a broad smile as she grabbed her bag and sheathed her sword that was laying on the grass. She wondered when she would go back to Magnolia and now she had a reason. She had always liked new friends, and this was a great feeling being able to help rose achieve one of her goals.

Rose stared at Chloe for a second and nodded as she stood up and awaited for Chloe to lead the way.

Once they reached the guild hall she looked upon it with a smile "So this is the famous Fairy Tail..." she said in amazement as she walked in "It doesn't surprise me that Lance is here..." she muttered with a small chuckle as she shook her head and walked in.

When they walked inside they would be met with a small blue haired cat girl "Hey Chloe! Do you know where Gwen might be?" she asked with a small cheerfulness to her voice. She looked at Rose with confusion "Chloe who is this is she joining?" she asked with excitement.

This little girl would be known as Lea, Lances daughter.

Chloe smiled when they arrived at the guild and started showing Rose around. She was happy that her new friend was able to see the guild hall that made her so happy. Eventually they found Lea who she greeted with a smile. Chloe smiled and handed Lea a key, "Gwen's still back home, Can I trust you to go fetch her for me?" Chloe said knowing how to talk to children. "And this is Rose, Im not sure whats shes doing." Becoming sad when she realized she barely knew her friend

Rose stared at Lea as she opened her mouth "Uhm I am looking for my friend... Lance..." she muttered with that expression on her face again. Lea stared at Rose "Dad? Ehe I am afraid he is out doing his exam right now..." she muttered as she took the key from Chloes hand "I will tell him you stopped by though!" she said as she raced out the door and headed to Chloes house.

Rose was surprised and stood there "Dad? Could my Lance really be a dad?"

"Dont worry, I believe she is adopted." Chloe said as she became shocked when Lea revealed that she was indeed the child of Lance Knighthunter. Chloe smiled when she looked at her though, "Don't worry though, Lea is a really sweet girl." she said as the child raced out the door. She had no idea what type of relationship Lance had with Rose, very curious. She hoped that her friend would tell her desperately.

Rose stared at Chloe for a second as she pulled her over to sit down at a table "Lance is a weird kid and he is lonely so I doubt he would tell you about his past unless he really liked and trusted you." She said with a bit of a sad look in her eyes.

It was true that Lance didn't tell anyone about his past unless she liked them and trusted them with his life. The only person he had ever told was Rita and Lea.

Rose took a deep breath before continuing "Lance ran away from home when he was 7 years old. He stumbled into Joya and came into my tribe... as a princess I took it as my role to look after him. I became to love him as a brother and a son at the same time. He left the tribe when he was 16..." she said with a bit of strain in her voice. She was avoiding telling Chloe what had happened in her tribe a few days ago.

Chloe had no idea what to think of this. She thought on what Rose told her but ultimately agreed it was only normal. She knew just by looking at him that Lance has seen some stuff, and this was good reasoning why Rose wanted to see him so bad. Eventually she spoke up and said, "You don't really seem like royalty. But that's a good thing. We wouldn't get along then." she said as she sat next to rose smiling. She smiled and looked towards the ceiling. "Id best tell you where i come from. I dont remember much from before I was eight. I woke up in the middle of the ocean, where I was found by one very nice man. To save my life, the man gave me his dragon slayer lacrima. For the next couple years I was his students, but then... it happened." she said suddently becoming serious.
