Ok, I'm writing a... different style... than what I usually do... but like always, there will be NaLu ;)

And I know I'm not done with Wanted., but I wanted to post this so once I finish, I'll have to finish this :D So let's get this show on the road!~

Whenever you take a life, you always have two choices;

Shun the evil, and walk a path of justice.

Or give in to the evil habits you never knew you had.

Never in all her wildest dreams had Lucy expected this. Zeref HIMSELF just casually strolling in, deciding to give Natsu another (at least what they assumed) offhanded warning. He said it so calmly, but maybe that was because he barely existed?

"You are but a remnant of me. Don't give in to the evil impulses"

And of course, he vanished like nothing happened.

Natsu, on the other hand, was as pale as a ghost. which was odd, considering his very tan skin tone. But he looked like he knew EXACTLY what Zeref was talking about, which mad Lucy worry more.

"Natsu, you ok...?" Lucy asked quietly

"yeah... I'm fine..." He muttered back

And Lucy thought that was the weirdest she'd seen Natsu act, but she really couldn't have been more wrong.

"LUCY!" Natsu yelled, as he quickly stumbled to his feet, the last of the building crumbling around them, and joining the bloodstained ground, as the blonde was sent flying, their opponent following just as quickly, before holding her by her hair.

"N-Nats..." the word died in her mouth, and she cried out in pain, from the electric jolt that coursed through her veins, before falling limp as a rag doll.

Natsu's eyes widened, as he felt something wet streak down his bruised cheek.

tears.

He growled angrily, his body lighting up with lightening and fire, as he felt anger rush through his whole being.

"DAMNIT! I WON'T LET ANYONE HURT HER! NOT AGAIN!" He roared in agony

The guy across from him smirked "Looks like I just did...~"

that was it.

Natsu lost any form of emotion except pure anger. He we going to truly crush this guys, and leave no remains. For the next five minutes, he didn't really remember anything specific, just a beautiful red color... He felt his body moving, that's for sure, and some slight resistance from the opposing side, but it felt too one-sided. He also felt a painful tug on his heart, which he couldn't comprehend until-

*snap*

Natsu's vision cleared some, but it was still mostly red...

Natsu felt his heart stop in his throat, as he finally registered what he was seeing.

"Natsu.." Lucy groaned from behind him, as she came to.

Natsu tembled, as the body fell to the floor, the beautiful red spilling on the cobblestones

"what did you... *gasp!* Natsu..?!"

Natsu's eyes stayed wide, as he stared down at what was once his enemy, who now lay lifeless on the floor in front of him, with a hole the size of Natsu's fist going through his chest. Red blood spilling from the horrid wound, and dripping from Natsu's hands.

Lucy couldn't believe her eyes... he killed someone... she expected him to cry, break down, berate himself, something Natsu-ish... she couldn't see his eyes, which were hidden by his rosy fringe, speckled with blood, but she could very clearly make out the quirk in his lips, as his mouth turned up into sinister grin.

"ah...ahahah... I-I killed him...~" Natsu finally said, like he was singing a song, and Lucy's eyes widened, and felt terror flood her senses "The red looks so beautiful...~ Don't you agree... Lucy..?~" He sung out, quirking his head to look at her, a dead look in his eyes, a soft and chilling smile resting on his lips.

But this was impossible... this was NATSU... but... he ENJOYED killing the man?!

"This rush is way better than fighting...~ To think I had control of these lives..~ I can make them disappear...~~"

Lucy had to resist the urge to just go and slap him, and tell him to wake up, tell HERSELF to wake up! This had to be a bad dream! but then she felt her body move on it's own, as she turned and ran. Ran as fast as she could. Happy following her, as they raced to the guild, because they HAD to tell master.

Natsu watched lifelessly as Lucy ran "She ran from me... Don't worry though, soon she'll be with us forever...~" He sang out, as if talking to another person,a grin spreading across his features.
