Prologue

"Natsu please, please allow me to help," Fox begs Natsu as their guild was being attacked, "I'm thirteen years old, I'm not a child anymore. Let me help!" Happy flew down onto Fox's shoulder, as Natsu watched them out of the corner of his eye. Fox had gotten attached to Happy right after he was born, because he also didn't have any magic powers and they both had wings. They usually flew around the guild playing with Natsu.

"Happy, stay with her and make sure she's safe," Natsu said as he turned to walk away. He knew she would be upset with him, but he couldn't handle it if she got hurt. He realized a long time ago that he started having feelings for her, and it was more than friendship. But every time a guy went near Fox, he wanted to ripe their throats out.

"Aye," Happy said a little sad. Fox clenched her fist, then grabbed Natsu by his scarf. "Why won't you let me help?!" Fox angrily says threw clenched teeth. Natsu stares at her with wide eyes. She was on fire and he wasn't the one to do it. Like her whole body was engulfed in flames and she was starting to burn the wooden floor.

"Um...Fox you might want to calm down," then Natsu realized her eyes are completely white, "hey your eyes..." But before he could say anything more Natsu started to have a vision.

He was walking alone on the streets of Magnolia, no human or mage in sight. Then Fox walks out onto the path in front of him and he smiles his goofy grin.

"Fox? Hey Fox where is everyone?" Natsu says as he's running towards the girl he loves, but as her face came into view, something was off. Her eyes were pitch black and her wings were the color of midnight . Her smile made his veins run cold.

"Oh, Natsu, my dear sweet Natsu," her creepy smile never leaving her face, "I killed everyone." Natsu watched in horror as Fox's hands become blood stained and people were lying dead in the streets and fire was consuming the city. No this couldn't be happening, Fox wouldn't do this,she would never kill her nakamas. Fox laughs as Natsu starts tearing up as he sees his fairy tail friends in a pile of burning bodies."And it was all your fault that it turned out this way," Fox laughs as her body became surrounded by black flames. Then a giant black Phoenix appears.

Natsu comes back to reality when Erza pulls him away from Fox. Fox had almost burned the entire guild and the floor where they stood had turned black. Natsu however was unscathed by the fire. Fox's eyes go back to being normal, before she passed out. Natsu grabs her falling form and holds her bridal-style. He can't help but get a whiff of her scent. Her cherry blossom aroma fills his nose.

"Do you know what happened?" Erza looked from Natsu to Fox, "she could have burned down the guild." Natsu nodded, but wasn't really paying attention. He was more concerned about what he saw when he looked into her eyes.

"Well, now we got a second fire starter on our hands." Erza smiled as Natsu sighed and looked down at Fox.

Natsu had taken Fox to his house after he made sure the guild wouldn't burn to the ground, and placed her on his bed. His hand fell on the exposed part of her upper leg, as he sat on the edge of the bed to think. Whatever I saw, it was so vivid and it felt real. And what did she mean when she said it was all my fault? Damn, what am I going to do? As Natsu thought he unconsciously rubbed Fox's thigh. Fox began to feel her thigh being stroked and started to come to.

"Natsu?" Fox said as she slowly opened her eyes. Natsu removed his hand and smiled down at her. She smiled back at him with a blush on her cheeks. She knew that she loved Natsu, but she didn't know how he would react to her confession.

"Do you remember what happened?" Natsu asked as he got off the bed and kneeling down in front of her. She shakes her head and tries sitting up. Did I do something wrong, Fox thought as she looked at Natsu. His face held sadness and that worried Fox.

"All I remember is grabbing your scarf, then waking up here with a splitting headache," Fox holds her head as Natsu helps her out of bed. She smiles up at him, but he looks away with sadness in his eyes. Natsu walks to the other side of the room and Fox looked at his back in confusion. She started walking after him to see what was wrong. He never acted like this towards me, he was always taking care of me. Fox thought with a frown on her face.

"Natsu is everything okay, your not acting like your usual self," Fox smiled at Natsu as she leaned over his shoulder to see if he was alright. He would always blush after she got to close to him and it always made him smile afterwards. But instead of blushing he pushed her away and tried to put some distance between them. Fox frowned, he had never done that before and it made me a little sad. Did I really do something so bad that my Natsu would shun me? Fox thought as she made her way towards him again. "

Please leave, Fox," Natsu said as he opened the door for her to leave, but she shook her head and backed away from the door. He never tried to make me leave, he usually tried to have me closer to him, Fox was so confused, what happened to make Natsu act like this.

"What are you sayin, you never kicked me out before," tears started falling from her eyes, "if I did something wrong, please tell me. I promise to never do it again. I just want my old Natsu back." Fox started to wipe her face as more tears replaced the ones she had wiped away. Natsu grabbed Fox and pulled her into a hug. He always hated to see her cry. He preferred to see her smiling face, it was the only thing that made her day, and he loved it even more when she smiled for him. He pushed down the guilt he was feeling and decided he had to push her away. Even if it was killing me inside, I needed to keep her from going dark. Natsu thought.

"Shhh.." Natsu petted her hair, "you didn't do anything wrong. I'm the one at fault." Fox held onto his vest as her sobs began to slow. Natsu lifted up her chin for her to look at him. His eyes held such sadness and Fox was about to ask why, when Natsu placed his thumb over her lips.

"Please, don't say anything, you need to leave, it's for your own good. I love you," Natsu kissed her and pushed her out the door.

"Natsu please what's going on?" Fox started banging on his door. Natsu leaning his back against the door.

"Natsu open the door! We can figure this out, please," tears are streaming down her face as she slides down the door on her knees.

"Please...I love you too..." Fox whispers as she cried leaning her forehead against the door. Natsu sliding down his door leaning his head against the door. A tear falling from his eye.

"I'm sorry," Natsu whispers.
