Chapter One- A Dream Or A Nightmare?
The sun rose proudly over the city of magnolia, when in a certain apartment, was a certain Celestial mage sleeping softly in her bed, when she opens her eyes and is met with pink spiky hair right in her face.
She puffed her cheeks angrily and got up from the bed. Lucy leaned down and griped the blankets hard and ripped them off of Natsu Dragneel, who shot up, looking around."what?" he asked quietly, swear tickled his throat and forehead from a nightmare he thought he wouldn't survive.
"Get out of my bed!" lucy yelled, kicking him in the stomach. Natsu went flying into a wall and harshly landed on his stomach."Ow," lucy heard him say."i'll be feeling that today," he got up, looking sick.
"That'll teach you not to-" she turned and looked at Natsu who swayed back and forth, looking pale."Natsu?" she walked in front of him, waving her hands in front of his face, his face looking green whenever he went on a train.
Natsu looked at her dazed."Huh?" he peered at her face closely. He walked over to the window,hopped on the window frame and crouched, looking out at the ground. He looked back at lucy."I hate change," he said, stepping back into the room, ignoring the confused and frustrated looks, she was giving him, and went over to the door."If it involves people i hate it more because you don't know what will happen,"
"Natsu!-"
He closed the door behind him, leaving a utterly lost Lucy behind, who was asking questions but in return, she only got the thick silence of loneliness.
Natsu's P.O.V
He closed the door behind him. He didn't want to use the window. Not when he's feeling like this. He clutches his stomach tightly, gasping for air. He felt like he was on his arch enemy, the train.
He takes a deep breath and continues to walk towards the guild.
He kicks open the guild and stomps in."I'M HERE!" he yells, grinning, ignoring the pain that shot through his body.
Elfman throws a drink in the air."yelling is being a man!" he yells.
"Shut up fire head," Gajeel said, leaning over to levy's plate of food and grabbing her fork. Levy doesn't notice because she's too busy talking to Erza about a party or mall or something when he puts the silver wear in his mouth, chewing it annoyed.
"I agree with iron breath on this!" Gray said, stomping towards Natsu eagerly, looking for a fight and it just so happens that Natsu barges in.
"I'm not looking for a fight Gray," he said sourly, walking to a bar stool and sitting down.
Gray stills. This wasn't like Natsu to just ignore an insult. Not even a fight. Puzzled, he looks at Natsu one more time and decided to sit beside Natsu, eyeing him.
"Go away striper," Natsu muttered as he crossed his arms on the bar and put his head into his arms, groaning."Your shirt," he says, muttering sourly.
"What the-" Gray gets up and scurries to find his shirt and pants before Ezra found out. He shuddered at the thought.
Mira giggles at him, beaming."I made you food, Natsu," she says, turning and grabbing a plate of food for him.
She sets the plate in front of Natsu smiling."Enjoy-" she was cut off when Natsu raised his head, sniffed the food and put his head back down.
"No thanks," he mutters again, sweat running down his hair and onto his neck. Today was really not his day. What was wrong with him? Did he have the flu or something.
"DID NATSU JUST DENY FOOD?!" his partner Happy, who didn't even realize was here, yelled horrified.
"I think so," Mira says, frowning. She takes back the plate of food and shoves it into the fridge for later, in case Natsu wanted to eat later on.
Natsu shuddered sickly."i feel...worse…...than...those times….on…..the...train," he lifts his head and leans backwards, gasping for air.
"What's wrong with flaim brain?" Gray asks, walking up and sitting beside him, frowning."Ate enough already?Geez that was fast," he said, but then looked over at Mira who shook her head.
"He said he's not feeling and his food is in the fridge, he didn't eat yet," Mira said, coming out from the bar and walking over to Natsu.
Natsu turns to Happy quickly. "Up stairs bucket," he said, his face full of pleading. His face was pale and his onyx eyes were empty.
The blue cat flies up stairs and a few seconds later, comes down with a bucket in his paws. He hands Natsu the bucket. He takes it gratefully and leans over it, breathing hard.
He stands, swaying back and forth, like he's drunk."Ya' know i'm gonna go home," he turns and takes a step and falls to the ground, his vision blurring making a loud thump when he hit the floor, blacking out.
"Natsu!"
The sky was dark and gloomy, a bloody moon shined over Natsu as a dark figure showed up. The figure chuckled darkly before snapping his fingers and appearing in front of Natsu.
"Zeref!" Natsu said, backing away from him and positioning himself for a battle, but Zeref easily reached out and grabbed Natsu by the neck and thrown to the ground, painfully landing on his side.
Natsu cried out when Zeref showed up in front of him and turned Natsu over. He felt his ribs were broken. Suddenly Zeref smashed his foot into Natsu head, directly on his face, making Natsu scream in pain.
"This is what happens when you don't obey me, E.N.D," Zeref sneered. He leaned down and grabbed a fistfull of Natsu's hair and lifted his by the head, making Natsu grit his teeth."What's the matter?" Zeref asked him, pitifully."Can't stand on your own?"
Suddenly a swift and hard kick, sent Natsu flying. He was met with another kick in the air, but this time in the back, a sickening crunch was heard as he smashed into the ground, face first.
Natsu laid there limbly, refusing to get up."Lucy you look rather dashing," Zeref whispered, her scent running to Natsu's nose. Very slowly and painfully, Natsu lifted his head to see Zeref holding Lucy with a smile of pleasure.
"Lucy look over there," he said softly, reaching up and titling her chin towards my direction."What do you see?"
Lucy smirked, her eyes becoming cruel, her smile full of judgement."I see trash," she said laughing. It broke Natsu's heart to hear and see Lucy saying these words.
"L-ucy," Natsu said, weakly."sn-nap out of it," he stuttered, breathing hard for air.
"Aw, look darling the trash it talking," Lucy said, getting up from Zeref's lap and walking towards Natsu. Suddenly, she turned and smiled and as she turned back to Natsu, she lifted her leg and kicked his under the chin, sending his to do a back flip and landing on his back.
"Lucy please stop!" Natsu said, in a pained voice. What mostly caused him to cry was when Zeref and her walked in front of him and turned to each other. Their faces got closer and all they ignored was my shouting not to do it. They completely ignored me as their lips made contact.
Natsu shoots up from a nightmare, panting hard. He turns over and gags into a bucket. He looks up to see Happy and Carla looking at him, sadly."What's up, buddy?" he asks, reaching out and petting the top of his head.
"Natsu!" Happy jumps startled and flies over to him, happily."I was so worried!" he cries, hugging him tightly.
"I'm alive," he said laughing."But i need to get going," he gets up and looks for his bag. He finds it at the end of his bed and rummages through it. He finds a set of clothing and heads into the bathroom, leaving confused cats.
A few seconds later he comes back out. His jacket was made out of a red leather jacket with a white trim located on the sides of his collar. White arm straps are located on the area of his biceps. His jacket also has a belt strap where a white belt is left hanging. In addition, the wrist areas of his sleeves are endowed with fiery designs.
His pants were jeans that had good looking cuts in them and it made Natsu seem more hot. He wore normal shoes with white socks. Underneath the red leather jacket was a black t-shirt that had flames mixed in with the black and white mixed in with a little fire design.
He walked out of the room with a quiet shut of the door and walked down the stairs. He walked over to the request board, ignoring all of the shocked faces of his new wardrobe.
Natsu took one of the papers off of the wooden board and looked at it closely.
Powerful Wizards took over town, wanted help!
Address: Clover town.
Redward if you take care of the business: 70,0000
Natsu considered the job and walked over to Mira who was behind the bar, drying glasses. She held the paper and registered him to the job.
'Thanks," he muttered and was about to leave when she stopped him with a confused glance.
"Natsu?" she asked putting the binder down and walking towards him."What's up with you?"
He grins nervously."I-i don't know what you mean," he said, backing away. The guild members stop chatting, and looks at them, interested what was going on.
Mira puts a stern look on her face and puts her arms on her chest, folded."I think you do," she said, leaning on the wall, waiting for an explanation for his new look.
Natsu's eyes turned cold and his face hardened."I don't think it's your business," he snapped and turned heading for the guild doors.
"Does it involve Igneel?" she asked her voice soft.
Natsu spun around, his eyes smoldering with anger and coldness and he marches up to Mira and pushes her to the wall, smashing his fist into the wall, right beside her head."I said I don't think it's your business!" he yells, leaning down to her frightened face."Now how about you mind your own business?," he asked, shoving himself off of the wall and away from the frightened Mira and storming out of the guild, slamming the door behind him.
When Natsu slammed the doors behind him, he ran. He ran like a cheetah. He made a sharp left turn and went into the forest. After a few minutes of running he saw his house.
When he reached his house, he quickly ran into it, closing the door and locking it behind him. He walks into the kitchen quietly and stops in the middle of the room. He turned to his left and pressed his foot with everything he had, into the floor and suddenly the fridge starts to move like a door, opening.
Natsu walked over and into the secret room, the fridge closing itself.
Natsu walked out of his house house, relaxed. He closed his eyes for a minute and the next thing he knew, he was in his house, sitting on his couch with his team on the couch.
Ezra was in front of him, Gray was on her left,Lucy was on her right and Happy was sitting in Lucy's lap."We searched the entire house and didn't find you," Ezra said, her aura circling around her."Where did you go?" she demanded.
Natsu's sweat dropped, trying to figure something out before they found out his secret."Uh," his eyes explored the house. Then he got an idea."I came through the back door,"
Happy groaned"But we don't have a back door!" he said, getting up and flying over to him."Natsu?" he asked, as he trembled, afraid.
"I can't tell you!" he jumped up, bumped into a shelf, which fell and things crashed onto the floor by the likes of it, but he didn't care. He needed to get away before they learned his secret.
He went to his room and quickly gathered his stuff. He put it into his sack and ran out of his room."Natsu!" he froze when he heard Ezra's voice.
A hand grabbed him by the shoulder, forcing him to turn around. He looked at Ezra and froze again. Her face was scarier then the guy he got beat up years ago and got his scar.
"Why didn't you tell me you could-" her voice got muted out of his ears once her heard one thing come out of her mouth. Well eight things, but still.
"I- uh-see," he stuttered, his knees getting weak."I-um-m-me s-sing?" he stuttered.
Ezra lifted a bag that was the same color as his leather jacket."You're going to be in the guild singing to us,"She quickly grabbed his scarf before he could run away and headed towards the guild, with Lucy,Gray and Happy talking in a deep conversation about Natsu, following them.
Once they got there, Natsu backed away, trying to go up stairs but Ezra quickly yelled orders to everyone not to let me go,"Don't let him escape!"
The guild members strapped him to a chair that was fireproof and then finally asked his team what was going on."No!" he yelled, trying to break through.
"We found out that our little dragon slayer-" Lucy grinned at the members."Can sing,"
"I told you!" all of them looked over and saw Lisanna laughing. She pointed to Natsu."I told you they would find out, sooner or later!" she stopped laughing when she saw everyone's horrified expressions."What?" she asked, then she looks at Natsu who had his hung, his bangs covering his eyes.
He shook with both embarrassment and anger.
"HOW LONG DID YOU KNOW THIS?" Ezra demanded, stomping her foot towards her Lisanna.
Lisanna shook her head, smiling."Since we were little," she said, looking over again in his direction."You guys always picked on him, he decided to keep this away from you guys. Then when i asked what was his secret-" she broke off, tears in her eyes."He sang to me,"
Natsu tightened his teeth together. Damn it!
"Natsu, sing for them," a soft said. Natsu didn't look up."Come on, natsu, for me?" Lisanna asked and he sighed, giving in.
He closed his eyes and began to sing softly. (Zombie by bad wolves)
Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence causes silence
Who are we mistaken?
"This is Natsu singing?!" asked Gray, but Ezra punched his head, for him to shut up.
But you see, it's not me
It's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their drones
In your head, in your head, they are crying
What's in your head, in your head?
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
What's in your head, in your head?
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie-ie, oh
Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
Lisanna smiled."This was the sad one,".
It's the same old theme
In two thousand eighteen
In your head, in your head, they're still fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their guns, and their drones
In your head, in your head, they are dying
'He's pretty good' Ezra thought as the guild was wondering about the lyrics.
What's in your head, in your head?
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
What's in your head, in your head?
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie-ie, oh
It's the same old theme
In two thousand eighteen
In your head, in your head, they are dying
What's in your head, in your head?
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
What's in your head, in your head?
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie-ie, oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah
Natsu closed his mouth and went silent."That's it?!" Ezra yelled, demanding for more.
Natsu's head shot up, surprised."You liked it?" he asks, surprised.
The guild was silent for a few minutes but then shouted excited, cheering for someone to throw someone to untie Natsu and throw him up on the stage. Natsu's went wide.
Suddenly loke was behind the bar and yelled at people to come towards him for any requests. 20 minutes later Natsu was up on stage with a guitar beside him just in case.
"I'm better than him!" Gajeel yelled.
"Shut up!" Erza and Gray yelled, kicking him out of the guild.
"First request is a song about Mira!"
"What-?!" Mira went pink and hid under the bar.
Natsu cocked his head to the side."do i get in a say in this?" he asked, and Ezra shook her head. He sighed and put a disk in.
I've been alone with you
Inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips
A thousand times
I sometimes see you
Pass outside my door
Hello!
Is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted
And my arms are open wide
'cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much
I love you
Lucy closed her eyes, humming to the song, her heart throbbing with pain.
I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again
How much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello!
I've just got to let you know
'cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely?
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying I love you
Gray chewed his cheek from the inside. There was no way, Natsu could sing.
Hello!
Is it me you're looking for?
'cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely?
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying I love you
Natsu looked up at the audience he had and smiled a bit. This was fun he admitted to himself but then his smile faltered, making others worry. Natsu frowned. He hasn't had this much fun since Igneel died…..
