Draco had been on the run for about 9 and a half weeks and she was no longer in Fiore, she was in the Pergrande Kingdom far to the north, she was hiding out in a forest on the northern border almost leaving the Ishgar Penninsual. There was a town near the forest that she would sometimes visit to get more supplies, she would travel to other nearby towns to get supplies as well so that it wasn't easy for anyone to pinpoint where she was hiding out.<br/><br/>Draco was currently laying on a handcarved bed in the cave she had made her secret base. Draco was going through her supplies to see what was running low and that she needed to stock up on. Draco had been working odd jobs in several nearby towns to earn the money she needed to survive. Draco would also catch fish using the skills Natsu had taught her and either cook them to eat herself or sell them for money. It was currently Winter so there was a think carpet of snow on the ground and she couldn't go fishing to get food so she had to work in town. Draco noticed that she was running low on art supplies as well as food and she needed to buy some heavier clothing to keep warm. Draco left the cave wearing a wooden mask, instead of her Fairy Tail mask because it was too recognizable, and headed towards the town.<br/><br/>Draco had just finished buying her food and art supplies, now she just needed to buy the warmer clothes. Draco stopped by a store and bought a simple fur-lined hooded cloak, some fur snowboots, gloves, a black and pink striped scarf, and some snowpants. Draco finished paying for the clothes and was about to leave the town when she heard a familiar voice say, "Gajeel. Are you sure we're headed the right way? Lu-chan said that we should head Southwest to get to our job location. I think we went the wrong way. The map says that the town we're in is on the northern border of the Pergrande Kingdom. We're going the wrong way, Gajeel." Draco recognized the voice as Aunt Levy's voice and from the sound of it, Pantherlily and Gajeel were with her. Draco quickly ducked into an alleyway and hoped the the smell from the nearby dumpster would mask her scent well enough for Uncle Gajeel to not detect it. Draco knew that the mask she wore was completely different from the mask she wore in the Fairy Tail guild and it was rather plain for something Draco would wear, she would usually decorate her masks whenever she changed them but the mask she was wearing now was just a plain old wooden mask made from local Fir Trees and completely unpainted. Draco hoped that even if he did see her the mask would fool him into thinking it wasn't her. Draco also did her best to make it look like she was just another homeless person in this town, there were pleanty of homeless people in town so she could easily be mistaken for just a more eccentric homeless person. Draco prayed with all her might that she wouldn't be found, but what she didn't realize was that in her panick to conceal her footprints in the snow and hide, she had dropped the little pink dragon plush that Natsu had made for her when she was a baby on the ground in the middle of the street.
