Hello, everyone! So, I decided to re write the entire "The lonely one" story, In an attempt to have it make more sense. It'll have the same story plot, with extras. Everything will be explained way better than it was before.

I'm rating it M only because I tend to like writing dark story lines (gore and such) and for a possible lemon; Don't get your hopes up.

I'm going to leave the story as being a NatsuxErza, Itll be a romance, tragedy, action, and whatever the hell else I can think of adding lol.

If for some odd reason this doesn't do as well as my other story that I started Ill just continue the other, just something about the other story seemed off and it was missing like the entire plot on to why things were happening and it just seemed horrible.

My writing skills may not be the best but bear with me!

So, with all of that being said; Lets try again! Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or any of the characters, but I do own this idea.

The Lonely One

Chapter 1: The Wandering One

It all began, 10 years ago. The war that changed Magnolia as we know it. The war between Good and Evil, or so everyone thought; but its not true. The war was more of a conflict between the king and some of the lower class citizens, they've had enough with his laws; his rules. He was harsh and known for his cynical ways. He didn't care for the people of Magnolia but the rich didn't care, No. The rich likes his power, they liked his ways.

The more he was cruel the more money the rich made. Doesn't make sense, right? Those he tortured and killed had power elsewhere in Fiore, between business men, stockbrokers, to even the heads of certain states. His power had no ending, So he thought.

Many clans around Fiore started to rebel, they wanted change, they wanted a brighter future; one where this so called "king" didn't rule. One, where they could take charge of what was going on behind the scenes without the corruptness of the rich.

Man, the rich are horrible people. Right? Well, no.. Not all of them were evil or corrupt, not all of them had their hands in someone elses pockets. Some worked hard, they stuck up for the lower classes. Thats when it began. The war.

Its started off with rebels slowly harassing the government and its employees but it soon escalated when the king thought it would be a good idea to send troops to Magnolia.

The fighting soon started with the rebels clearly losing, day after day the Kings troops would slaughter the little rebel groups. The king also had a secret Army, or more like a secret organization that didn't have to abide by the rules of the king.

This group was merciless, they killed everyone. Rebel or not, if you even looked at this group chances are you're already dead, or worse. This group was notorious for its torturing and killing techniques.

The rebels almost disbanded when some of the wealthier men/women decided it was their turn to help, they started aiding by giving the rebels, weapons, artillery and even medical supplies. The rebels finally gained a foothold back on Magnolia. The King was becoming desperate, his supply of troops began to dwindle when they realized the king they fought for was a corrupt scumbag who could careless for the people.

The Kings time was up, even his most deadly troops decided they would no longer waste their time for their "king", sure the money was good, and killing was amazingly fun for them, they all had some sort of blood lust but it subsided while the King was over ran.

One by one men and women charged into the kings castle, slaughter those who would still stand by his side. Well.. Lets just say the rest is History..

This all happened 10 years ago, the city of Magnolia was being rebuilt, Fiore is no longer in turmoil. Though the devastation that the war brought was massive. The landscape outside of Magnolia had to be sealed off, due to poisons and other toxins that lingered in the air.. Even after 10 years the toxins weren't dispersing, So Magnolias new leaders thought up the idea to build a massive wall around the city, keeping people in while others out..

Somewhere in a small village not too far away from Magnolia we meet our pink haired friend..

2:30 AM.

"What in the fuck.." The boy growled while slowly rolling out of bed, Its been awhile since he's been able to actually sleep, you see he has a past.. One a lot darker than most people could imagine. The things you imagine in nightmares was this boys life, his reality.

Natsu walked towards a rotting wood table and pulled up a plastic chair, took a seat and rummaged through his jacket pocket till he found his new found addiction. He pulled the short white stick out of the package brought it up to his mouth and lit it.

No, he did not use a lighter. He doesn't remember when it happened but he knows for sure it wasn't too long after the war his new found "powers" started to surge through his body. He was no longer human, at least that's what he thought.

Natsu glared at his finger tips for a little while before snapping the flame out and focusing his attention on the cigarette that now rested on his lips.

He scratched the top of his head trying to remember everything he saw in his nightmare..

"Its no use..UGH!" He let out a tired sigh before walking towards a flight of stairs, with each step he took, the steps would make a loud creaking noise. And with each step he felt closer and closer to just falling through, he let out a tiny laugh at the thought of falling through the stairs and no longer being able to get out of the basement. 'I guess I'd have that problem if I was human..' He thought.

Reaching the top of the stairs he headed for the door and made his way outside, It was cold out but the coldness didn't really affect Natsu. He was always warm, even if there was a blizzard and it was negative 30 outside, he'd still some how be warm; and honestly he couldn't complain.

Making his way towards the center of what looked to be a run down village, he stopped in the center near a statue of a man with what looked to be a trench coat though he was rather short and had a strange mustache.

'I wonder what that man was like..' Natsu pondered in his thoughts for a moment before continuing his trek towards a rather large hill, on top of the hill sat one lonely tree. The tree was bursting with color, which was rather strange to Natsu but he didn't put much thought into it.

After a few minutes he reached the top of the hill and rested his back on the tree, trying to let go of all the hatred that burnt inside of him, he doesn't even remember what he hated so much but it had to be something of his past that he forgot, seeing as he doesn't really remember what happened between now and the past 10 years.. It's all a blur besides the war.

Natsu remembers the war pretty well, except the people he fought with.. This aggravated the shit out of him, no matter how hard he tried to remember who he fought with, he just couldn't seem to put a finger on who they were.

His organization was in charge of the kings dirty work, they were brutal. They alone nearly wiped out an entire village of women and children. The pink haired boy couldn't remember why they had to kill everyone, but he never questioned those in charge of him.

'Those faces...I remember them too well.' Natsu closed his eyes before he fell back asleep into the world of his past. The bags under his eyes and the way he carried himself gave everything away, he never slept, and he was constantly moving. He never stayed in one area for too long, he doesn't quite remember why but he just never felt safe, as if someone was watching him.

He was slowly starting to slip away from reality, his thoughts of being watched drove him crazy.

He'd yell and scream, hoping someone would appear from the darkness. He'd rather know it was actually someone watching him than his own thoughts toying with him.. Making his life more and more difficult.

The boy let out a small sigh leaning his head back against the tree; "10 years ago, huh.. The things I did at 14..Those things were not meant to be done by a kid." he continued to frown at what he was "made" to do. Of course in his mind he was always forced to do things, he never had any free will till the war ended and all his comrades just disappeared into the thin air.

This was all routine for our pinkette, each night around the same time he'd wake up screaming, or sweating, sometimes he'd wake up engulfed in flames. Natsu would have no choice but to wake up and begin his slow and miserable life, he'd always find himself relaxing next to this tree. It was somewhat comforting to Natsu, he also had a white scaly scarf wrapped around his neck. He doesn't know why but the thought of losing the scarf made him sad. He felt like it was a piece of his past that was actually good, which was rare for him. He was trained every day by Soldier of the king. He of course wasn't the only one, plenty of kids were ripped from their homes before the war started, soon they were trained and ready to kill anything.

The techniques the King used to train his new Soldiers were beyond inhumane, they were against all humanity itself. If they messed up in the slightest it was all over; They'd be tortured and beaten for days until whatever hope glistened in their eyes faded. Their eyes had no soul behind them. That's what the king wanted, these Soldiers would never disobey him, he was wrong though.

Natsu remembers the organization splitting apart, some still wanted to fight and kill while others were over the war and ready to do anything else but fight.

Natsu snapped back into reality reaching into his pocket again hoping for find a cigarette or two left but he was out of luck,

"Pffft" his lips curled at the thought of going into Magnolia to "buy" another pack.

'Maybe this time Ill run into someone who wants to fight, that always gives my life some sort of meaning' His hands lit up as he smacked his knuckles together "That's it! I'm all fired up now!"

Natsu let the flame die out as he started making a sprint for the Magnolia wall.

After running for 15 minutes he reached the wall, the wall was roughly 6 stories high made of steel and other metals. He cocked a grin before lowering his posture and springing himself up as hard as he possibly could, before reaching the top he started to lose momentum so he lit the bottom of his boots on fire to give him an extra boost.

Reaching the top of the wall, he looked all over. The city was coming together nicely, the building were more futuristic looking than the old style but still nice regardless.
He grinned and licked his lips "Here I come Magnolia!" He shouted before jumping off the wall.

End chapter.

Chapter two will be released some time this week, I think.
Anyways please Review and Favorite! I appreciate any feed back, Im not the best at going in depth, but Ill try.
