Chapter one

I sat there for a wile looking up at the board. New jobs had flooded in with the recent violent crimes that kept happening around the city. A dark guild was reeking havoc around the continent. Kidnappings mostly. A large amount I wealthy individuals where being taken and held for ransom. Times like this made her glad she was no longer considered wealthy. She remembered being kidnapped when she first joined fairy tail it was not exactly fun. Everyone with money was calling for a body guard. I looked for something with a high reward as I ran my fingers across the papers on the wall. It did not have to be am easy job, If I needed to I could bring Natsu or Gray but I NEEDED at least something. I was a month behind on rent my landlady was pissed. If I was not careful I would be LIVING with Natsu or Gray and that sounded like no fun for anyone. A large pink paper caught my eye. A picture of a young girl, around five or so in a little blue dress with a doll fell out from behind the flyer. I picked the small picture up. She looked so small and Innocent. It reminded her of herself when she was young.

WANTED

WIZARD FOR CHILD PROTECTIVE CARE.

I took the flyer down to read the details. I needed to know exactly what I would be doing.

"Looking for a strong wizard to guard and take care of our daughter for one week, must be from a reputable guild"

I smiled. Sounds easy enough basically they just wanted a strong baby sitter and the REWARD was enough for THREE MONTHS RENT. I folded the flyer up and placed both that and the picture in my pocket. A week is not to long of a time everything should be fine. I had been gone for longer then that on several occasions. I turned around and began walking to my apartment to pack when I came to an abrupt halt as my face smashed into something warm and hard.

"Ouch!" I rubbed my nose and looked up and the culprit. I frowned and folded my arms as a large pink haired dork smiled back at me. "way to be a brick wall Natsu, how long have you been standing there?"

"You going on a job Lucy?" His wide tooth grin showed slightly sharpened teeth. He looked so excited you could almost see little sparkles coming off of him. "Can I come? Happy is with Charlie and Wendy, he wont be back for a wile" He wiggled a little bit like an excited puppy and ran his fingers through his messy pink hair. He looked as if he had literally JUST crawled out of bed. His clothing was wrinkled, weirdo most likely slept In them. I could not help but smile at my dorky best friend. I giggled and nodded my head. It would be nice having him tag along. He always made things at least more interesting. I motioned for him to follow me and he hopped into step behind me. We walked along the cobblestone road. Magnolia has had a strange aura lately. The effect the new dark guild had was spreading like fire across the continent. It was like no one wanted to come out of their homes. As we walked by houses people would wave and smile. We may have wrecked the town a few times but we where still their sense of security. Fairy tail meant allot to this town. In a way we where almost like the town gaurdians. He was humming as he walked. I could basically feel the energy coming off of him. It made me feel at ease sometimes when I felt down. His bubbly personality has gotten us through some really tough times and to be honest my favorite part about him. He had one hell of a lack of personal space and occasionally annoyed the crap out of me but he meant the world to me. we came to the river near my apartment and I hopped onto the side swinging my arms out for balance. Two men in a boat slowly passed by.

"Be careful miss Lucy your going to fall in someday!"

I did a little daring hop to show off then continued to walk along the edge Natsu loudly humming behind me.

"Oh shit!" I started to fall sideways towards the river. I waved my arms wildly trying to regain my balance. Inches before my face hit the water a strong arm wrapped around my waist pulling me up away from the water. I was flipped around and placed back on my feet facing Natsu. He laughed and rubbed my shoulders a little bit.

"They warned you Lu" he let go of my shoulders. I stuck my tongue out at him and turned around and began walking again. As we came to my apartment building I noticed the land lady standing there... Waiting for me. Crap, fuck my life there she is. She scowled at me as I ducked my head in shame and walked through the doorway. Natsu must have felt the tension because he raised one eyebrow and looked at me.

"Your a month late on rent child, you need to pay up or I'm locking your door" she growled with her arms crossed. My heart sunk. I cant loose my apartment. I'm sure Natsu would let me stay with him until I figured something out but its not like I want to. I sighed and looked down at the floor.

"Yeah yeah I'm going on a big job today I should be back with it soon" she nodded with a "humph" and walked away. Natsu looked at me with a sideways frown.

"Lucy you should have said something we could have gone on a bigger job a long ago" I shrugged as I walked through the door. Our last job was not exactly profitable as it was more a task for a friend of the guild master. All of the other jobs after that where Erzas idea and where all… theater jobs. I was slightly afraid to ask her if we could do something else.

"Its ok Natsu it really is this job is enough to pay at least a month and a half with my share" Natsu shifted and frowned. He

"I don't need any of it Lucy its your job I just wanted to tag along because I miss you when your gone. I'm not going to take part of it when I know you are in trouble Lu." My heart fluttered a little bit. Miss me? He misses me? I smacked myself in the face. Get it together Lucy your friends of course he misses you he is like a child he gets bored. He plopped down on my bed bouncing up and down a few times before he finally settled down. I pulled out a suitcase and began to pack some clothing. It would be warm where we are going so I looked for cooler cloths.

"Don't forget to pack snacks!" He grinned and did his little excited wiggle. I laughed. Typical Natsu always wanting to eat.

"I will I will" He flopped down face first into my bed. Still looking my direction. His eyes started to flutter open and closed as he struggled to keep them open. I kept shoving things in my suitcase as he slowly drifted off, his gentle breathing slowed slightly. He actually looked "slightly" cute wile he was asleep. Nice try Natsu but we are leaving tonight I need my rent money. I stood up and walked towards the kitchen. I opened the cabinets and began pulling random snack foods out of them and shoved them in my bag. Cant forget the dorks snacks. I also pulled randomized bottled juices. I then opened my drawer and pulled out a small orange bottle of pills. A few months back we had all collectively decided to I guess umm… "drug" Natsu when we needed to travel. It was just easier on everyone including him when he was not throwing up on everyone's shoes. He had agreed to let Porlyusica prescribe him a sedative. I tucked the bottle on my pocket and walked back to my bed. Natsu had one arm hanging off of the bed. His fingers brushed the bottom of the floor and twitched slightly as I poked him on the shoulder. His muscles tensed under my fingers as His eyes fluttered open and he smiled at me with his big goofy grin.

"Are you ready Lu?" Natsu mumbled into my blankets. I nodded.

"Lets go sleepy head you can sleep on the way" He pouted and pulled himself up. He sat on the edge of the bed. He placed his hand on his neck and jerked his head slightly to the left. His body let out a soft cracking sound. His hand dropped down to his side. I never realized how he actually had a slight "beat down" look to him. The scar on his face made him look older. Like he had seen more then he should for a twenty two year old.

"Do you have my pills?" He rubbed his eyes.

"Yeah I have them in my pocket" I patted my pocket as he reluctantly pulled himself off the bed. I grabbed him by the shoulders and began pushing him out the door. He groaned and pushed against my hands with his body.

"cant we stay just one night and leave in the morning" I struggled past him. Squeezing myself through the small hole he left in between his large body and the door frame. I stumbled a bit as I managed to get in front of him.

"Come on Natsu" I pulled on his vest as he fell in line behind me. I smiled to myself. It all felt so right. I could never let this go. I felt so happy where I was in life right now. With Natsu and with fairy tail. I would never be able to let go of any of it. Natsu started up again with his gentle humming. The tune was actually fluid and steady. I wondered what he sounded like if he actually tried to sing. Not the normal "happy and Natsu crazy kid" singing but like actually singing. I attempted to imagine it but it was to difficult. I'm sure he was at least better then Gajeel.

As we closed in on the train station he growled. He muttered to himself about how much he hated this place. I purchased our tickets as he sat on the bench in front of the train. I could see his pout from here. We where just in time the train would begin boarding in fifteen minutes. It would take about 30 for the pills to kick in so he may as well take it now, by the time we left they should knock him flat. I pulled a bottle of apple juice out of my bag and walked towards the pink haired man. I laughed to myself thinking about how childish it was for me to be handing him a bottle of apple juice. Usually this was Erzas job (for some reason she liked to drug him? She is a scary human… if she is human) but he would loose them if we put him in charge of them. He would loose his butt if it was not constantly behind him.

"Here" I pulled two pills out of the bottle and handed him the juice. He took it from me and threw back the pills as he immediately downed the bottle. He choked a little then he grimaced and his entire face twisted into a disgusted look. He could eat fire but had a hard time taking two tiny pills. He leaned back against the wall and furiously rubbed his mouth with the back of his hand like it would make the taste go away. I sat next to him and twiddled with the ending of his scarf. It was old and tattered but it meant so much to him. It was odd seeing him without it the damn thing was basically part of him. Like some sort of removable appendage. It took me by surprise the first time I truly got a good look at him without it on. Seeing the large scar across his neck was slightly alarming at first but I got used to seeing scars that big. We had seen so much since I joined fairy tail. Gray sported a few new ones since I joined some of them not exactly small. Natsu had gained a few others including the one on his face. I had a few small ones myself. Mostly just from bumps and scratches Natsu and Gray usually tried their hardest to make sure I was not hurt to badly. They took care of me in ways I would never be able to repay them.

"What cha thinkin about Lu" I broke away from my thoughts and looked at the fire mage. He leaned forward slightly as he looked at me waiting for my answer. I felt the soft smile reach across my face.

"Nothing really, just remembering some things. We sure have been through allot haven't we Natsu" he looked at me and smiled sadly.

"Yeah" he looked at the ground and a lump formed in my stomach. Igneel... He lost Igneel. I reached my hand out and ran it up and down his back.

"I'm sorry I should not have said anything" The train horn sounded telling everyone to board the train. I jumped at the sudden sound, Natsu frowned and looked up at the contraption like it was strait out of the book of Zeref. I huffed and pulled him off the bench.

"Come on you big baby" We entered our car and sat down Natsu sat on the outside just in case he got sick before his pills kicked in. Luckily even after the train started rolling they where the only two in their car. Natsu swayed a little. Good the pills started to kick in just in time. He leaned over with a plop and landed his head strait in my lap.

"Hey what are you..." To late. His chest rose up and down as his eyes opened and closed a few times. He mumbled some sort of inaudible sentence as he turned his head towards my stomach and closer into my lap. I rolled my eyes. Usually he pulled this on at least someone. Most of the time Erza, Wendy even fell victim to his lack of personal space once. I could feel his soft warm breath against my stomach. It made me shudder and the hairs on the back of my neck raise. What a terrible day to wear a crop top. His forehead and tip of his nose rested against my skin. He was always so warm, almost like a human heater. I looked out the window, one hand on his head and one draped over his shoulder. His hair was soft. Erza tends to run her fingers in his hair and now I know why it almost feels like soft animal fur. He nudged his nose further into my belly and again muttered words that I dont even think where words. I could feel his lips against my skin this time. I was grateful he was asleep I could feel the hotness of my face I'm sure it was red, but as long as he was not getting sick This was going to be an easy ride.

Fire raged through the old church building. I could feel the power within my body. Begging me not to stop. Telling me to burn everything. I blasted a ball of fire towards a group of the towns people. Burning them alive. Their screams echoed throughout the church.

"stop please!" Lucy's voice cracked as she screamed. Blood pooled up beneath her broken leg. The black bruise making the large gashes harder to see, The other slice in her side bleeding heavily. Tears rolled now her ash stained face. I walked towards her Laughing. I kneeled in front of her using my thumb to wipe a tear from her face. She whimpered as she tries to cover her face with her hands. I smirked and grabbed her roughly by the cheeks in one hand and yanking her upward by her back with the other. My nails dug into the soft pink flesh at the small of her back. My face lowered dangerously close to hers. Close enough to burn her. Close enough to kiss her.

"Oh Lu this is who I am now do you not love me anymore? I thought you told me you would always love me no matter what. Well how about now Lu?" I whispered through a sharp toothed grin. I could hear the beat of her heart... Smell the iron in her blood. She sobbed and winced as I made her put pressure on the leg I had broken. I buried my face Into the crook of her neck gently kissing her, making sure with every kiss she could feel my sharp fangs. I placed my hand over her stomach threatening to burn her there. The heat from my hands enough to give a human body a third degree burn. I did not even need the fire, at this point even my own skin was like molten lava. With her free hand she wrapped her hand around three of my fingers sobbing… begging for their lives with her eyes. I let her fall to the ground. She clutched her stomach with one hand and her leg with the other. Yeah I'm sure that did hurt. I broke every bone in it. She leaned over almost like she was trying to ball up into the fetal position.

"Please..." She begged as I reached down and pulled her head back by her hair to look at me.

"Don't worry baby it will all be over soon" I knocked her over and pinned her hands above her head. The purple scars down her arms threatened to break open and bleed again, my other hand still pulling her head backwards.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING" I inwardly screamed at myself. How the hell did I loose control like this. "LET GO" my body did the opposite and pulled her head back further exposing her neck. "LET HER GO" I traced my black sharpened fingernail across her neck. A small cut forming. She winced and sobbed some more. "FUCKING STOP" I felt my hand trace back up her stomach. I tried everything to pull away. I felt sick, I wanted to throw up. "stop please stop hurting Lucy" the demon within me began to falter. I could feel myself regaining control I was so close….but before I could, I plunged my hand strait through Lucy's abdomen. I let her go and she flopped to the floor. Realization settled in as the curse dissipated from my body. I just killed my best friend... My family.

"Lu..." I choked out and placed my hand over her heart begging for a heart beat. Nothing... She was gone. I scooped the limp girl into my arms holding her tightly. I sobbed loudly. Oh god What have I done. I ran my fingers trough her blood soaked hair. I just killed everything important to me. I wanted to die. I raised my head to the sky and screamed at the top of my lungs.

"LUCY!" I jumped nearly ten feet as Natsu shot out of my lap. He whipped around and his hand shot to my stomach. I squealed and threw my hands up.

"NATSU WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" he froze and looked around dumfounded then looked back at me looking me up and down his eyes resting onto the hand he had on my stomach. He wiggled his fingers a little bit almost testing to make sure it was real. He pressed down a little almost like he did not believe, then pulled his hand away. A sigh of relief escaped his lips.

"Oh my god Lu I had an awful dream" he slumped back down into my lap and put his hand over his face. He was covered in sweat. Wait what? Where their TEARS in the corner of his eyes? It must have been one bad dream then. I did not even notice he just looked so calm.

"Wow what was it?" He winced and looked at me. He wiped his face off.

"I-I don't remember" he turned away from me this time closing his eyes again. I frowned. Yes he did…why would he not tell me. The train screeched to a halt as we came upon our destination. Natsu popped up glad for the thing to stop. He halfway ran off the train. I stepped behind him.

"We need to find an inn to stay in for the night" I looked around. There was actually a nice looking hotel across the street. I poked him and pointed towards the area. He nodded and We started over. Oh thank heavens it was one of the fancy ones with the bath in the back. I skipped into the building and up to the desk. Natsu poked around the front wile I checked us in. It was a little expensive so I only got one room. It would be fine we stayed in the same room all the time. I whistled for him as I started the hunt for our room. When we got to our room and unlocked the door I was greeted with the intoxicating scent of bamboo and warm sugar and with an extremely spacious area. I could see the bath area through the glass doors. Since the doors where see through I would have to ask Virgo for a suit but that was fine.

Well I officially know the course this fanfic may be going in. It will take a dive off the deep end. Yes it will have LOADS AND LOADS OF JUICY NALU buuut this is most likely going to be one dark story. Not the whole time mind you it's a romance and Still don't know HOW dark but if you don't like major plot twists, lemons *quite a few perhaps*, and some violence you need to jump ship now because the water will not be clear. Updates should come quickly as I am a stay at home mom with an easy baby and no life. Lemon posible in next chapter

Be sure to leave a review good or bad it makes me happy. Bad lets me know what I did wrong and good lets me know what I have done right.
