Scary Stories:

(Warning! It's about to get SPOOPY!)

Love y'all! Enjoy!

"Hearing the crying sound, ever so slowly, he pushed open the door," Cana said, one of her glowing cards were held in her palm, illuminating her face. "Creeeak."

Every woman in the room was shaking. Wide eyed and leaning forward ever so slightly, fearing what the character in Cana's story would find. Lucy clutched onto her bowl of popcorn, cocooned up in her blanket, so that only her cute face was showing (occasionally covering it up when she was surprised) She tried to put the pieces together to find out who murdered all the characters in Cana's story, but she was stumped. There was no clues to the culprit! She had to know. She likes writing scary stories. Not hearing them. She had to admit that she doesn't even particularly like writing them either. They were so scary! But at least in writing, she knew who the murderer or monster was, but hearing stories she had no clue. The monster could be right behind her for all she knew! Sure, she dealt with plenty of monsters. Hell, it's basically her job to take care of monsters and scary things. So scary creatures and scary people weren't something new. But scary stories were something different. It's the way that they're said and all the spookiness of it.

"But when he looked inside, there was only darkness," On the word darkness Cana turned off the lacrima-light. Lucy squealed and grabbed hold of the person nearest to her. (That person being Juvia.) She HATED the dark. It reminded her of all the scary times at her mansion, when her father would ignore her or shout at her and leave her in the dark.

"Then suddenly," Cana took one of her cards flashing her face in a greenish eerie hue, her hair floating above her head. "A face. A woman's face. And what a beautiful face it was. Hair and veil floating as if in water. She was wearing gown. A wedding gown," Cana said. "The man fell to his knees at her beauty. She smiled sweetly at the man, gliding closer to him. He realized that on the woman's feet were balls and chains." At this, Lucy realised that this ghostly woman had been drowned. On the ghost woman's wedding day. Why else had her hair and veil be floating as if in water? And the balls and chains were there to keep her down there.

But what was this ghost's objective?

...

I need answers!

"She cupped his face as he stared into his eyes," Cana leaned forward, adding to the effect in the story as her face still glowed green. "The sweet smile she once had turned into an ugly scowl and she rose, soaring high in the room," Cana jumped up from her sitting position.The card suddenly made Cana's face turn white, hair flying at a vigorous rate. As she stood she pointed downward. "YOU'RE NOT MY HUSBAND! YOU'RE NOT MY HUSBAND! YOU'RE NOT MY HUSBAND!" As Cana screamed this, the card made her face look like it was sinking into itself. Making her look gaunt and like a rotting skeleton.

(Don't worry the spoopy stuff is over! And don't be scared! The ghost is not real! I'll protect you all, you precious cuties! *Tries to look threatening and badass to any monster that could get you, even though I'm tiny as fuck but I'll still protect you all!)

At this, every girl screamed. Evergreen looked like she was going to throw up. Carla hissed and spat, her fur rising upon her back. Everyone in the fort burst out, making it collapse. Mirajane turned on the light so everyone could see. Mira was used to scary stories. She was a she-demon after all. She basically was a scary story.

Cana laughed, her face now normal. "You should've seen the look on your faces!"

Suddenly there was wiggling underneath the now destroyed blanket fort.

"Help! Juvia's stuck! Juvia can't get out!" At this Lucy and Wendy who were nearby ran to help her. Pulling her out, Juvia clutched onto Lucy, while Wendy rubbed her back. Most girls felt bad for their frightened friend and came to comfort her as well.

"Juv-Juvia was s-so scared!" She cried on Lucy's shoulders. "Juvia felt l-like the l-lady would g-get her! Juvia's not her husband! She would've g-gotten Juvia!"

"Aw shit, Juvia. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare ya that much," Cana stopped her laughter and came over. At this Juvia poked her slightly tear stained face out from Lucy's shoulder.

"It's ok, Cana," Juvia said, wiping at her eyes. Lucy still kept an eye on her to make sure she was ok. "Juvia was just scared. It was a very good story, Cana. Where did you learn it?"

"Yeah, Cana? That was terrifying!" Levy shouted. "It makes me wonder what the ghost wanted in the first place."

"I thought the same Levy!" Lucy said, beaming. "Was it for revenge on any man? She was obviously drowned. Do you think it was for a crime she committed?"

"Or it could've been people who were jealous of her beauty or something. People were so petty and cruel back then! Oh wait, she hated men or something like that. Well wait, we don't know for sure because there only were men there at that camp..."

Lucy gasped. "It could've been her husband who did it! But she still loves him or something!"

"You're all a bunch of nerds! It's just a story that my dad taught me! I added the cards though," Cana said as she lounged on the couch. She didn't know why they were getting so invested in it.

"Why was the ghost so angry though Cana?" Lisanna asked.

"I just think that the story is so sad!" Erza cried out, her face twisted in woe. "She just wanted to find her husband!"

"She still killed all those men though!" Evergreen argued.

"WAIT A SECOND EVERYONE! BE QUIET!" Wendy cried.

"What is it Wendy?" Mira asked.

"I think I heard something...From out there."

At this, the women in the room became as quiet as a mouse. Listening for any sound that Wendy could be talking about.

Then they heard it.

A low moaning sound that did come from out there. Lucy immediately froze. It sounded so sorrowful. A searing heat began to course through her, as if all the blood in her body had been replaced by lava in her veins. She felt the need to call out to the moaning. To alert it that she was alright, that she was here. She felt as if she had to follow it. She didn't want whoever was crying to cry. She felt as if it was meant for her. A flare of pain washed over her. She clutched the middle of her chest.

"Hey, Lucy? Are you alright?"

Suddenly there was a scream from near the window. The girls were startled and looked where the scream came from. They realised that Levy was on the floor panting heavily, her hand on her chest, looking as white as a sheet.

"Levy are you alright?" Bisca asked.

"D-did you guys see that?!" She cried. She pointed out the window. "There was a l-light streaming out of a tree! It went by so fast! What if it was the g-ghost?!"

"That c-can't be possible!" Erza stuttered. She gripped a sword in her hand. "Ghosts aren't real!"

"We live in a world of magic, anything could happen," Mira said quietly.

"I saw it! It was that tree over there!" Levy pointed to the tree. The girls crowded over by the window, trying to see what happened. Nothing happened for a few seconds, but then suddenly, a glowing bluish/green light zoomed past, into the tree that Levy was pointing at. The girls gasped or screamed.

Suddenly the slight throbbing that Lucy had went away...

Weird... She thought. Was that heartburn of some sort?

"SEE! I told you!" Levy cried.

"What was it? I didn't see it!" Wendy cried, clutching Carla who's fur on her back was slowly rising.

"Are we going to die?!" Evergreen cried.

"What does this mean?!" Lisanna shrieked, her hands fingering through her white hair.

"Illuminate Confirmed!" Levy screamed.

"Maybe she only hunts after men?" Lucy said, trying to reassure herself along with her friends. "In the story, the only p-people in the story who were killed were men, remember! We're all girls! We'll be fine! And if she n-needs help, we can help her maybe!"

"Right, L-Lu!" Levy agreed.

"SHUT UP, YOU PANSIES!" Cana was standing up on the couch. Every woman in the room stopped panicking and looked up at her. "Ghosts aren't real! N-no way! Anyway this was a story that my dad, Gildarts, told me!"

"H-how do we know that ghosts aren't real, Cana?" Juvia called, creeping out behind Erza who was swinging her sword wildly earlier, as Juvia clutched her Gray doll for comfort.

"GHOST ARE NOT REAL! I'll show you! We're gonna check it out!" Cana said, hands on her hips, looking like some sort of adventurer. "Grab your flashlights, ladies! We're going outside!"

"WHAT?!"

"You heard me! That light out there was probably a big bug or a firework or someone's magic! Now come on! Grab your jackets! Put your shoes on!"

"We're not r-really going out there are we, Cana?" Wendy asked, still holding Carla in a protective embrace.

"Hell yeah we are, Wendy!" Cana beamed and ruffled the younger girl's hair. She was already putting on her orange jacket and her flip flops. Silence filled the room. Most of the girls thought that Cana was crazy or too drunk to think straight.

"C-Cana's right! Juvia wants to know what that thing was!" Juvia said putting on a straight face, stomping up to the coat rack, grabbing her navy blue long coat. Plus,It was bluish, it could Gray! She thought.

"You know what, yeah! Come on, we're a part of Fairy Tail for Mavis's sake!" Levy said, throwing up her fist in the air. "We can take on anything! Who's with me?!"

Lucy stood up. They were all right! This was no time to be scared! "Levy's right everybody!" She stuck up her right hand that had her pink guildmark in the air, making the #1 symbol that was known throughout the guild. "Are we going to let some evil sad dead lady or a glowing light scare us? And if she isn't an evil sad dead lady, are we gonna let her stay sad?!"

"No! Fairy Tail always helps those in need! No matter what!" Erza said, who already had her royal blue coat on through her requip magic.

"Yeah!" Wendy yelled, running up to girls who were going outside. Erza and Lucy gave her high-fives as she came up. With that every girl got their coats and shoes on and headed outside through the front door.

"Ready to bust some ghost ass?!" Cana yelled.

"YEAH!"

"Maybe we should be quiet," Levy spoke up in a quiet voice. "In case she's not bad. We may scare her!"

"Good thinking, Levy!" Lucy said, patting her friend's shoulder. Levy blushed at the compliment.

"EVERYONE! WE ARE TO BE QUIET FOR WE DO NOT WANT TO SCARE THE GHOST! IS THAT CLEAR?!" Erza commanded in a booming voice, holding her sword out menacingly for anyone who wouldn't obey.

"YES MA'AM!" The girls responded.

"She probably already scared the ghost with that voice..." Evergreen deadpanned.

"WHAT WAS THAT?!"

"Nothing Ma'am!"

"Stay together everyone! We're stronger with numbers!" Mira said.

They shuffled together, staying together as if they were a flock of sheep. Making their way closer to the tree where they saw the light, each girl had their magic ready. Erza had her sword out, Levy had her fingers ready to cast a solid script spell, Juvia had a 'Water Lock" already in her hands. As Lucy shuffled, she grabbed Loke's key and her whip. She assumed that if the ghost attacked them, no physical attack could work. But magic might. I may not be able to do much... but I can at least try to help my friends! I won't let them get hurt! If that's the last thing I do!

"Could you handle this every goddamn-!" said a voice from the tree.

"I think I heard something. It's coming from up there!" Levy cried, pointing up toward the tree.

So yeah! If you need to know, the blue light was Happy! When he was flying through to get the Clothes for Natsu! 

Also that thing with Lucy with the "Heart Burn"?  Yeah that's all because of Natsu! Yeah... I like the whole dragon slayer headcanon junk Including the mate thing, like that mates are connected but don't really know it. Also how their magic affects them? Like how Laxus has problems with Electricity and is constantly full of static and will often accidentally shock people. Or how Sting will glow when he's excited and when he sneezes light comes out of his nose. Or like when Natsu gets angry smoke will something spread around him. Or how Rouge gets sunburned very easily and that's why he wears so many layers. Just stuff like that.

But yeah! This is when they find stuff! It's about to get interesting!
