Monsters: an imaginary creature that is typically large, ugly, and frightening

Hello! I'm back and tried to fix any mistakes but between classes and all. Plus, I was posting this when I really should be focusing in class. But I couldn't wait to post it. Plus I wanted to at least wait until I had at least ten chapters finished but there goes my plan.

Also, I have another story that I will be posting later on. Don't know when but I will tell you it will be epic.

Now copyrights. Don't copy my story since I plan on publishing my story. I just inputted Fairy Tail characters into it. So don't be alarm if they don't act as they should. If you do copy my idea, keep in mind, I will know. And you have to deal with me and other people I know.

So please leave comments. Hate comments will be deleted as fair warning. I don't need any more hate since I have enough at home dealing with shit.

Now, I don't own Fairy Tail. Everything belongs to the real owner. If I did own Fairy Tail, well. Somethings would have happened by now.

Walking down the streets of Magnolia, Lucy couldn't help be envies of those that lived a normal life. One away from leaving the safety of town with no idea of the dangerous world outside. They had no reason to leave the safety of town since it was up to her kind to ensure the safety of their lives. And since the guild that was a station here in Magnolia was shut down twelve years ago, it was her job to ensure creatures of nightmare did no enter this town.

Of the reason why the guild was shut down, Lucy didn't know, but rumour had it that the guild master at the time didn't want to lose any of the children under his care and wanted them to live a normal life. After all, once a person learned magic, they were forced to go out and fight and keep those that didn't wield magic safe with their lives. Not an easy life to live. It didn't matter that the person was a child. Just a spark of magic could be the downfall of the person.

The only way to live was to learn fast. If not, then those that did not learn were offend killed. She's seen it happen to a child that was no older than six being forced to live out for a whole year in order to get stronger. The child didn't even make it to the three days, only to be discovered in pieces.

Everything outside of towns and cities was made to kill humans. It became almost impossible to sleep without dreaming of creatures that hunt you when travelled alone. If you weren't a Tamer with your own creature, then more than likely you would last two to three days at most without being killed right away. And the only reason they would last that long is only because of their magic.

There were three types of Tamers. But really, it was more on what type of creature the person could tame.

One type is the Snake Panthers. Two types of color when it comes to this breed. Males are often yellow while the females are black. Seven feet tall and with a temper to match. A command breed to be tamed. It was just easier to tame them since one can get them from a farm that breeds them.

But just because they are breed to be tamed, most often, it will claw said person when being tamed. They also only let one person ride them, somethings others too if the Snake Panthers liked the person.

The second type is called the Hound Panthers. The males are often black while the females are grey. They have a nasty temper and are often never tamed. Those that often tame them are covered in scars from the claw marks. They only let one person ride them in their lifetime. But like a wolf, they are loyal until their dying breath.

The third one is called a Saber Panther. Colors are only in black. A nasty temper and very dangerous. Most often rarely tamed, since they have a habit of killing there would be tamers. Rarely are ever fully tamed since breeds are hard-pressed in capturing them.

Breeders that do capture them, often have more than half of the team killed since their the perfect hunters. Most breeders aren't kenned on the idea of being killed while capturing a Saber Panther.

A Saber Panther only ever bonds with one person in their life. Loyal and if the rider is ever separated from their Saber, the Saber hunts and hurts anyone that dares harms its rider.

That's why most would love to tame a Saber but the chances of being killed are higher than taming the Saber. Most avoid even choosing to tame a Saber.

With a sign, Lucy shook her head. There was no point in wondering about her Panther right now. It was her week off and she was going to take full advantage of it. Her Panther will be perfectly fine resting at her new home.

Her clothes today were simple and, matched her work clothes. Then again, Lucy only placed her Panther in her stable before making her way to town. Sure her pants had a cut here and there but it was fine.

Her top an open blue shirt that wrapped around her neck, covered her front while leaving her back bare for the world to see as well as the ten zodiac tattoos banded down her spine. White tight pants that left little to the imaginations with knee-high brown boots. A brown leather belt wrapped around her hips that held different side pockets. Her hair up in a side ponytail with her bangs framing her face. An armed guard on her left arm that ran up to her bicep.

Simple and easy to blend in.

Smelling the sweet smell of food, it reminded her that she still needed to eat. While travelling to arrive, she forgot to eat. But first, she needed to make sure to visit the shop that only a few knew about. It was a shop that sold food for Panthers. More than anything, she totally didn't need her Panther roaring in anger for food.

With her phone out, she followed the address to the shop. Within twenty minutes, and close to the outskirts of town, she found the shop she was told about. Small and plain. She would have walked right by it if she didn't detect the magic runes that repel normal people.

Panther's Shop.

Raising an eyebrow, Lucy snored at the name of the shop. In bold black letters, it held a charm in the words to repel those that held no magic. Pushing the door open, a bell chimed as she looked around. The shop itself was similar to that of a butcher shop on one side while on the other side held different saddles and harness for one's Panther. Her eyes widen as Lucy took in the different types of saddles and since her's was old and falling apart, well more like run down, she could really buy a new saddle. Expertly when last time it almost cost her, her life.

While the shop looked small, by no means was it small once she stepped in.

"Hello dear."

Snapping her head to the said voice, Lucy was greeted with an elderly couple. But what drew her eyes was the claw marks on the woman's face. Knowing that it would be rude to stare, she smiled as she moved towards them. "Hello, I was told this was the place to go if I wanted to place an order for my Panther!" She stated as she ran her finger over a saddle as she eyed it.

The man chuckled as he nodded. "Yes, it's the only place in Magnolia." He said as a sad and faraway look took in his eyes. "Used to be a great place to stop, until the guild of this town shut down."

The woman gave a sad smile as she wrapped her arm around her husband's arm, giving him a slight squeeze as she leaned into him. "But know, it's only a place to stop if Tamer riders go through town."

Giving the couple a small smile, Lucy hummed as she glanced at the menu on the counter wall. Filled with different types of meat to give to one's Panther. It even had a list on what type of meat to give to certain Panthers.

"Well, I'll be here often as well as my partner since we're going to be a station here for now on." She explained

"Truly."

Nodding, she couldn't help but laugh as they gave a sign of thanks. "And since I'm here, I'll like to buy a new saddle as well as place two different types of orders to feed our Panthers."

"Of Couse and since this is rare for Tamers to be a station here since the guild closed down twelve years ago, I'll give you a discount on the saddle." The man said before asking which types of Panthers she and her partner had.

Pressing her lips together, she couldn't help but smile as she said what they were. "My Panther is a Saber while my partners is a Hound." She laughed as she watched their mouths drop open. It was rare for a Tamer to have a Hound, but even more rare for a Saber.

What would she say? She had a gift.

With twenty minutes, she had the food order set and ready to be delivered to her house before nightfall and another hour picking the perfect saddle for her and her Saber. Of course, it didn't come cheap but it was worth it. Waving goodbye and a promise to come back in two weeks for another order, she left.

Which only left her enough money to buy food since Jellal said he would be the one to pay for food for the house when he arrived tomorrow since she was buying food for the Panthers. Pretty sure she paid more in food for the Panthers then he would pay for food for them.

Shaking her head, Lucy looked for the closest place to eat and head home since it was getting late and really she needed to be home before the delivery guy got there. Spotting a food stand, she made her way in line. Seeing that it was a simple potato, with meat on top with hot cheese costing the top sounded and smelled great.

Once paid for, she dug in as she slowly made her way home. As she was walking she looked around, spotting a small blue hair woman smoking with a tall man with iron studs all over his face. His red eyes glaring at her as she only raised an eyebrow before rolling her eyes. She dealt with worse than some male pride.

She also didn't miss the laughter of the small woman as she moved on. To further anger the man, she stuck her tongue at him. If looks could kill she would be six feet underground as he growled in anger. Pressing her lips together she picked up her speed to ensure he wouldn't follow her.

No need to have his blood on her hands if her Saber decided to kill him for stepping on her land.

She didn't even get past five blocks before a noise stopped her. The setting sun the only light out as she peeks into the alley. What she saw was a man being cornered by seven people. Each holding a weapon as the man being cornered just held on to the joint he smoked.

Either she could walk away or help. Huffing in anger, Lucy knew she was going to help. She could never stand to watch scenes like this. It often reminded her when she was out and alone, away from the safety limits of towns or cities.

Summoning her whip, she walking in the alley, more than likely sure to regret even stepping in. "Hey." She shouted as she watched all of them look at her. Yea, she could beat their asses since her mood turned sour with this. Snapping her whip, she smirked as she watched more than one shutter. "What seems to be the problem?" She purred out.

Hope you liked it. Leave comments and likes.

Also, I plan on making the chapters at least a 1000 words long. So until next time my beloved readers.
