Hey guys! This is a new draft of a story that I'm thinking about writing. I'm actually writing this ahead of time to get some ideas flowing before I actually post anything. Right now, I've currently got four stories running. I'm hopefully going to write more of this one when I get done with one of those four. (One of them is on their last chapter.)

So, I hope you enjoy this. NOTE: I'm kind of making this up as I go along, (cause I'm too lazy to plan stuff out. XD) so please bare with me. Also this IS AN AU.

~I do NOT own Fairy Tail~

~Chapter one: Hidden (Prologue)~

Deep in even the most wickedest of minds, there is light. It's most commonly known as the voice inside your head, telling right from wrong. In other words, your conciseness. Except one voice, deemed herself a "Guardian Angel."

~o0O0o~

The beast once again roared in pain as he gained another burn mark on his shoulder. His purple scales turning pink where the 17 year old hit him. The monster growled at his opponent. He raised an arm to attack, but then again roared. An icicle protruded from the his arm. The monster whipped around, using his tail as a sweeper arm, knocking a shirtless man onto the forest floor. The beast snarled in approval as he neared his next meal. A loud yell made him pause. Though, that was a mistake. A second later, several swords appeared in his back. The red-head reaching out as if to grab another one. That was it, the beast had enough. He sat there, eyes closed.

"Did we beat him?" The shirtless one said as he got up from the ground.

"It looks like it." The woman said. "Let's collect our reward and head back to the guild." The three took off, gathering their packs. Suddenly, the pink-haired man snapped his head around. The other two stopped with concerned looks on their faces.

"Natsu," the red-head said. "What is it?" The man only responded with a hand in the air, signaling to 'shush.' The two listened carefully to the seemingly quiet forest. The one called Natsu heard something to his left, and by the time he turned, the monster had returned. It roared as it raised its tail up over them. It towered above the trio, and the end of the tail was covered in spikes. It looked as if it grew armor. As quick as lightning, the beast bashed his tail down in front of the group. The three looked at the beast in surprise. But the beast rose his tail again, intending to not give anymore warning strikes. Something stirred within Natsu's mind.

"Run." A voice said. A voice that the man had gotten use to. The voice would pop up every now and then. Being dense, Natsu only dismisses it as his imagination. He smirked at the voice.

"No." He said to himself. Natsu launched himself into the air, setting his fist ablaze. He reeled his arm back, aiming for the spiky tail. "Fire Dragon, Iron Fist!" He yelled, punching the beast. Immediately, the spikes began to fall off and the beast began to limp away. Not before the woman stuck a sword through its heart. Natsu though, was a little distracted to watch his friend take down the beast. Punching the tail seemed like a good idea, but it hurt like hell.

"Told you so." The voice said back, sounding smug. Natsu grumbled to himself as he shook his hand. By then, the woman came back. The shirtless man gave her a high five.

"Great job Erza." He said.

"Thank you Gray. Now, do you mind telling me where your pants are?" Gray looked down and yelped.

"I'm naked!"

"Stupid stripper." Natsu grumbled.

~o0O0o~

A half an hour later, the trio were situated on a train that was heading back to the city Magnolia. Erza and Gray were speaking quietly to each other, while Natsu was trying not to puke. His hand, now wrapped in bandages, held his stomach tightly.

'I hate trains.' He thought to himself.

"You say that every time you go on one." The voice inside his head said. He inwardly rolled his eyes.

'Aren't you a little feminine to be inside my head?' He thought to himself. The voice seemed to hesitate.

"S-shut up!" She yelped. Natsu chuckled to himself. Then he quickly pulled a hand over his mouth, trying to stop the puke that was wanting to come out. Erza, seeing what he was doing, slammed her fist down on his head.

'Great, now I'm talking to myself.' He thought, trying to not fall to the darkness.

"You wish." The girl said. The darkness consumed him.

o0O0o~

It was dark. Though at some places, there were small patches of light. The whole air of the place seemed so sad. Tucked away in a corner of this place, there was a golden light, wanting to break free.

The golden light floated up from its corner, taking a new form. It grew limbs, golden hair, and brown eyes. Her skin twinkled with light as she was clothed in a white, flowing dress. It reached to about her knees, and was held up by spaghetti straps around her shoulders. White lace swirled itself around her legs and arms. The lace also decorated her hair. And on her small, delicate feet, were white flats. A golden aura still surrounding her.

The girl sighed and floated around in her dark space. Is she floated up to a light space, she could see happy memories with a large amount of people in a guild.

"I wish I was in a guild." She said with a pout. She floated away from the fun, happy memories. She stayed clear of the dark clouds though. They held sadness. Almost so much that the girl couldn't stand it. When she picked this man to be a conciseness for, she did not expect to see so much sadness. Speaking of the man, she decided to check on what he was doing. She closed her eyes, and she grew brighter. Though, when she opened her eyes, she found darkness again.

"He must of went to sleep." She said. A soft snore gently shook his mind, causing the girl to chuckle.

"Hey Natsu? I need to tell you something." She said to him. "You're not going crazy, and it's not your imagination. I am real. My name is Lucy."

The pink-haired man smiled in his sleep.

Thanks for reading! I hope you liked it. Feel free to tell me what you think by reviewing. Again, I'm making this up as I go along. So it might take me a while to update again.

Having trouble picturing where Lucy was? Think of Maka's mind scene from Soul Eater. That's what I did. XD

Sorry for any mistakes and thanks for reading!

Please tell me what you think in terms of continuing.

R&R!
