Future:

Natus wobbled back and forth, trying to keep his balance as he stood in front of his partner. "Lucy-" his voice cracked and he fell to his knees, shaking. Lucy raced to his side,crouching."I-i'm scared-" he said, leaning inwards to her."i-i don't want to die-"

"You won't," she said, sobbing. Her chest heaved up and down. She reached up and clutched his face gently and brought it to hers."I won't let someone take something that i just got back," she said, laughing softly, while still crying.

"He's going to get me, Lucy," he whimpered. He shuddered, gritting his teeth tightly."H-he's going to come here a-n-d destroy everyone i lo-ove, he's going to d-destroy you and I-" he gasped for air, crying. He shook violently, scared shitless.

Lucy pulled him, closer, trying to sooth him."It was just a nightmare," she said softly, stealing a glance at his son, Happy who was currently staring at the floor in front of Natsu. She looked at the group of people who have now came and frowned at them.

Lucy shook her head and dug her head into his shoulder."You have us, you have me," she said,sniffing his scent. It smelled like burnt like burnt flesh and his clothes were torn, there were scratches and bloody gashes all over his body. Dried blood and dirt was mostly decorated it, but the most what scared Lucy to her bones was that Natsu was scared.

He wasn't scared of anything and this was a new was the nightmares about?

Chapter One-Nightmares.

By: Sasha Rawlings.

N's Pov:

I felt like my stomach was going to explode by the time the train stopped. My vision was blurry and my head has a pounding headache. I stumbled onto the ground, the train lifting up and down from people getting off. The wind sang a soft melody that ruffled my pink hair as I crashed to the ground and landed on my elbows, heaving for air.

My partner and son laughed at me and Ezra looked at me with concern, while Gray studied me. Couldn't he not be a stalker striper for one minute of his life?

My clothes were with no doubt, wrinkled and some how, i lost my sandals. I flopped onto my back and sighed."Finally, i'm off that fucking train," i seethed through my teeth, my chest heaving up and down as air entered my body. I dug my fingers into my hair, my nails digging into my scalp.

"Natsu!" Ezra yelled, stepping towards me. She glared at me, but somehow it didn't work on me like before."Language!" she tried to take a swipe at my head with her hand, but i dodge too quickly and rolled out of the way too fast, making my vision more blurry.

Lucy gasped,Happy cheered and Gray….well he just continued to be a stalker and study me."Cut that out Ezra," i snapped, a sudden rage filling me."It's enough that i have to go back on another train after we're done this mission," I get up and I dust the dirt off my vest and pants. I dug my hands in my pockets and slouched, walking towards the city that shined before us, kicking the dirt underneath my bare feet.

I looked down as i entered the city. People talking and chatting filled my ears, food filled my nose and a headache filled my head with a massive pound enough to make me unconscious. People glanced at me and then went back to whatever they were doing after they've looked at my teammates behind me, who were silent.

Before i know it, i'm asking a lady in a big building for two rooms. She looks at me and frowns."are there more of you?" she asks, looking behind me.

I shake my head, my eyes falling to the counter."I'm paying for my own room," i hear protests behind me, but i ignore them as i pay for my own. As i collect my key for my room, Lucy steps in front of me as i turned to leave for my room.

"I thought we all were sharing a room," she says, stomping her foot, making me halt at the spot i'm standing in.

"What about the boys?" i question, raising an eyebrow."Not everyone can share a room with girls," i look back at Gray and he's still watching me. He gives a curt nod.

"He's right," he stepped in, and walked over to my side, defending me."I'm not up to sharing a room with two girls tonight,"

Ezra glanced between Gray and I, then finally sighed, nodding."Very well," she walks up and pulls lucy's arm gently."Come on Lucy, we need to go change,"

"But-" Lucy protested, struggling on what say."We're a team, Natsu-"

"Lucy don't worry, you'll see them tomorrow," Ezra said, cutting in. she gave the celestial mage a reassuring smile before turning to Gray and I. "We meet at our room at 10 am sharp tomorrow morning,"

Gray and I nod, but stay silent. Once she turns and drags a protesting Lucy away towards out of hearing rang, Gray turns and walks towards our room. I follow shortly behind, hesitating whether to ask him why he chose to stay with me, but when i looked back and saw Happy struggling with the luggage, i turned and took it from him.

"But Natsu!" he complained, his tail lashing out."I can handle it!" his black eyes, widening as he saw me smirking at him, barely containing my laughter."Why are you laughing!"

I simply shrugged his shoulders and heaved the light luggage on his shoulder, and suntered towards Gray who was waiting for them at their door.

Once they got in their room, the moment the door shut, I found himself being pressed up against a wall by an angry Gray."Wha-"

Gray grabbed my collar and lifted me up the wall. I struggle against his tight grip, but it only tightens and i'm only getting more choked. Air slowly escapes my lungs."What the hell is going on with you?!" he yells, my ears bleeding. My vision blurs and darkens as he throws me to the floor and sits on me, forcing me down.

I cough up blood and i hear him swear. My vision clears just a little bit and i see Gray looking down at me, with a furious look."Why aren't you telling people what's happening to you?" he said in a quieter tone.

Is that what he fucking wanted?! My nose flares and my eyes go into tight slits. I got up and rushed towards Gray, tackling him. As we tumble to the ground, i grip his wrists and i pin his back to the ground.

Suddenly Gray shrieks in surprise. His face suddenly changes color over his cheeks. I-is he blushing?! My heart quickens as i notice that his breath is hitched.

I hear the blue cat whimper at the sight at us and exits the room and enters one of the bedroom's, leaving us alone. There were silence as i stared at Gray, watching him carefully. His face was pink, his black hair scattered underneath his head.

Finally it was me who broke the silence."Gray?" I croak, my throat dry. My hair falls in front of my eyes. When he doesn't answer, I slowly release my grip and sit up.

"I'm going to bed," I said, getting up and walking in one of the bedrooms leaving a paralyzed Gray behind. I walk into the bedroom Happy rushed into, to find him staring at the floor before him.

I quickening my pace, I hurry towards the bathroom. I quietly opened and closed it, slipping in. I took a breath of relief as I heard Gray telling Happy that he should probably sleep in the next room

"But there isn't another room" Happy said, tiredly."I'll just sleep on the couch-"

I grit my teeth tightly, ignoring the rest of the conversation they were having. Damn it.

Third person's view:

Natsu felt a tickle in his nose. He quickly leaned against the sink and held onto the corners and braced himself for- he sneezed. He sneezed again and a third time. Was he getting a cold? He shook his head and peered weirly in the mirror. He had very dark bags under his eyes, his face was pale, but he had a small blush across his cheeks from the events that happened earlier. His usual spiky hair was floppy and fell downwards. His shirt was wrinkled and his pants were baggy, showing a bit of his v line. He looked like he was going to pass out any minute and was forcing himself not to. Is that even possible?

His phone buzzed startling him. He dug his hand in his pocket and dug out his phone. It showed a text from lucy.

You okay?

Natsu's face softened. His heart pounded as he texted back.

What made you ask?

-n

He set the phone down on the counter and rubbed his face. Was Gray blushing a sign? Or was it not on purpose? Why did they have to share a room? Nothingless a bedroom. He couldn't face him now, not with what just happened. Now he thought about it, why did Gray attack like he did? Shouldn't-

His phone buzzed loudly and the screen popped up. Lucy texted him:

You seemed...off

Irritation snapped in me. First Gray now her? Damn it couldn't they leave him alone? He turned on the tap and rinsed his hands. He cupped his hands and the water filled his hands. He leaned his head down and splashed his face with the water.

He filled his hands again and again, splashing his face with water again and again. He finally reached out and turned the tap off. He leaned up and exhaled. He slowly walked over to the bathtub/shower, and turned it on.90-

It took a while, but finally the water turned hot and he got in once he took off all of his clothes, including his scarf. The water poured on his head, soaking it immediately. He bowed his head and closed his eyes, his mind recalling some of the memories of the nightmare he had on the train to the way here.

"You're always going to be mine and mine alone," zeref sneered, grabbing his chin and tightening the grip on his neck, probably going to leave a bruise."You're going to feel every single pain and headache i felt when i thought i was a demon," he leaned down and sneered some more."Natsu Dragneel, END,"

Natsu shuddered nightmare he had was probably going to be considered a good dream compared he'll probably have tonight. He craned his neck and inhaled. Ever since that stupid war between him and Zeref, he's been having nightmares like crazy and every time he would have one, he was alone and afraid.

But now he's not alone. Now he's more afraid of Gray's and Happy's reaction if they find out. He bent and turned to find a shampoo on the side of the bathtub. He grabbed it and opened it, then squirted the blue gooey stuff on his hands and put the bottle down.

He reached up and mixed his pink hair and the shampoo together, then rinsed his hair after waiting several minutes. There was silence in the bathroom, the only sound there that was drowning out his thoughts was the sound of the water drizzling on his head and leaking down harshly onto the bathtub floor.

He reached up to his hair and raked his fingers through, rinsing his hair that was full of shampoo that gave him soft and silky hair.

Once he was out of the shower and the water was gone, he used his fire power and dried himself completely before putting on a black t-shirt that said,"Daddy issues," with an arrow that pointed up at him and a pair of black pants. He slipped out of the bathroom with his phone in hand, and into the bedroom where he found his teammate Gray sitting up in bed with a book in hand, the lamp beside him on, and his son on his bed sleeping peacefully.

Natsu jumped and landed on his bed, the sleeping cat not bothering to wake up. He exhaled as he went under the covers and brought his phone to his face, seeing that there were several messages from Lucy and some from Ezra.

He checked out Lucy's messages first:

You looked terrible the last time I saw you...are you having nightmares?

Natsu it's alright if you are, you can tell me.

Hello?

Suddenly a message popped up. It came from Ezra:

Meet me at the bar in 5 sharp.

Natsu groaned loudly. He got up and grumbled. Couldn't Ezra leave him alone? He felt Gray's eyes on him as he shrugged on his jacket and tried to get his hair down. His phone buzzed again and he looked down.

I'll give you two minutes before I come up there and drag you down there

Natsu smirked and texted back that there were no need to do that. He pushed his phone down into his pockets got his jacket and shoes on and touched the door knob when Gray stood up.

"Where are you going?" he asked, his voice blank.

Natsu didn't turn around to face him when he spoke."Ezra wants to meet me at the bar," he pulled the door open and slammed it behind him, probably waking up the sleeping cat.

He exited the apartment and the building. The cool air pressed against his face and body. He walked in the streets, the chattering he once heard was nowhere to be found. The lights were gone and the windows and shutters he saw open, were closed and sealed. The 'welcome,' signs were turned away and it now said,'Closed,'.

When he reached the bar, it was- to Natsu's surprise- opened. There were men and women in there, smiling happily, beers being filled; glasses being clinked; the waiters being cheary. He continued to take steps towards the bar until he found himself pushing the cold iron handle bar forwards and walking in.

Some people glanced at him and smiled, some frowned probably realizing he was a mage, and some didn't turn their heads to look in his direction, too busy in theirs.

Natsu looked around the bar, searching for his teammate, his gut twisting as if to tell him that something bad was going to happen. He craned his head to the left and moved out of the way to allow other strangers in and spotted the redhead mage.

Ignoring the horrible feeling, Natsu walked over to an empty bar stool and took it gladly. The redhead turned and frowned at him."Why are you so pale?" she asked, reaching up towards his cheek, and clasping it, running her soft thumb over it, caressing it with care.

Natsu growled softly in a warning as he nudged his head out of her clasp of her hand. He raised his hand, getting the bartenders notice and ordered a drink for the both of them."Don' .Me.," he said, his voice lowering at every single word.

Ezra gasped and smacked the back of his head, leaving an echo behind the attack."Don't talk to me like that!" she exclaimed, glowering at him.

A few people looked over at them with interest, staring at the fire mage to see what he would say next. Natus craned his next to the side and turned to her, his eyes turned into slits, red lining his pupils, reminding her of Zeref. A aura of anger came off of him, but not strong enough to scare her."Why the fuck did you ask to mee-"

He got cut off by the sound of drinks clinking hard on the wood bar he was leaning on. His angry aura went away immediately and he smiled brightly up at the bartender, taking the drink of whiskey gracefully and downing it in one gulp, faster than Cana.

He put the shot down and exhaled, the burning alcohol going down his throat. But he didn't care, he'd rather get drunk than have to go to bed. The bartender smiled and took his glass and filled it up again.

Before Natsu could down it again, Ezra quickly interrupted by grabbing his glass cup and griped it tightly."That's enough," she said sternly, her hair waving back and forth when somebody passed her.

Natsu mumbled something about her being bossy. Ezra raised her eyebrow."What was that?" a dark aura appearing around her. He mumbled again, his words a bit slurred."what was that?" she said repeated, getting impatient.

"N-nothing," he said, flinching when Ezra reached up to put her hair back, but then froze at the sudden. Ezra watched him closely as he stared at his hands in front of him. She cursed silently for not noticing it before, but she looked down and saw his hands shaking. His breathing was ragged and his eyes as if he was searching for something.

"Natsu?" she asked, putting her hand on her shoulder. He flinched, but looked up and quickly put a smile on his face, relising he wasn't at home.

He scratched the back of his head, plastering on a fake smile."Y-yeah sorry," he stuttered, chuckling a bit."Just thinking, you know' about stuff,". He turned and hoped off and out of his seat and turned towards her."look if we're done here, i'd like to get some rest," he said, staring at her.

Why was he acting weird?Ezra frowned and shook her head, clearing her thoughts."You're acting out of sorts, recently," she said, putting the cup down. She motioned Natsu to sit, but he only eyed the cup and stood where he was."Is something wrong?" she asked, sighing.

"No," he said, too quickly. His breathing went back to normal and his hands only shook a little bit."Just...tired," he said, sighing. He turned a bit towards the door, but craned his neck at Ezra."Can i go now?" he asked like a little child."I'm tired and you don't want me in a bad mood in the morning because you kept me up,"

Ezra gritted her teeth in frustration. Why was he in a hurry to go to bed? What's he hiding?

"Fine," she said getting up. She quickly paid for the drink and turned towards Natsu."But i shall walk you back,".

Natsu shrugged and turned towards the door. He began walking and held the door for his teammate. Why was she so nosy today? He shook his head and smiled gently at Ezra who walked passed him who thanked him for holding the door for her.

"No prob," he muttered, letting go of the door and proceeded to walk behind her, with his hands in his pockets. The breeze had gotten stronger in the little time he was in the bar, but it blew at his face. His clothes flapped in the wind, making noise as he turned and walked towards a building that contained his bed.

He pulled out his phone and checked the time. It was midnight! Natsu quickly shoved his phone back into his pocket and quickened his pace, soon brushing shoulders with Ezra.

"I'm worried about you," she whispered, looking at him. Her red hair moved in the wind and her cheeks were flushed. When Natsu gave her a questioning glance, she frowned."You've been more angry,fighting more, you don't get any sleep and you always want to be alone. You're more jumpy than usual-" she stopped abruptly and bit her lip."Are you having nightmares?"

Chapter Two- Problems

Third Person's View:

Natsu stared at Ezra who had her hands in her pockets. Her hair was swaying back and forth and her thighs were covered in a thin black jeans. She wore a black sweater that covered her boobs and down to her crotch.

Her light chocolate brown eyes stared at him evenly, her lips pressed together. "I'm fine," he snapped, his cold sudden voice startling her. She opened her mouth to speak but Natsu continued to walk towards the building."I'm tired, aren't you?" He said, smiling, crossing his arms and putting them behind his head, leaning backwards. He looked over at Ezra and grinned."Come on, you coming?" He asked, looking at the building and back to her."we're almost there,"

Ezra blinked several times before coming back to earth."Oh, right," she ran up to him and started to walking with him.

Natsu quietly opened the door to his bedroom and breathed a small sigh of relief. Gray was asleep with Happy on his head, sleeping as well.

He closed the bedroom door quietly behind him and slipped off his shoes. He leaned down and picked up the pair if shoes and put it beside the door of the bathroom. He walked over to his bag and went through it as careful as he could and finally found toothpaste and a toothbrush.

Natsu walked in the bathroom and turned on the tap, leaving the door open. He opened the toothpaste and spreaded over the toothbrush. After he brushed his teeth and his toothbrush was away, he walked out of the bedroom and pulled his phone out, seeing that there was a text from Gray.

Did he miss it? It wasn't there as he walked back to the building. He clicked onto his name and stared at the text:

Natsu. We need to talk

Natsu eyed the message. Since when did he and him need to talk? He tapped the message and froze. This was right before he came into the apartment. He looked over his shoulder as he walked in the kitchen and looked back down at his phone. He sighed, coming his free hand into his hair.

He ignored the message and looked around. The cabinets were labeled so he could tell where everything was. He looked for one that said,"Cups," and once he found it, he pulled the door open and reached up and grabbed one off and out.

He walked over to the sink and filled it with cold water. He turned off the tap and brought the glass of cold water to his lips, the taste of cold entering his mouth. He tipped the glass higher, downing the glass. He set the cup in the sink and exhaled. He reached up and wiped away the sweat that was forming on his forehead.

He swallowed and closed his eyes. "Why can't you go away?" he bent his head."You're making me sleep less and i love sleeping you nightmare basterds,"

The memory of Ezra popped in his head. Did she have feelings for him? His heart pounded fastly as he thought about it. Why was she the one acting weird? He shook his head and roamed the kitchen until he grabbed a glass of wine and sat down.

He hummed quietly and closed his eyes. Suddenly he started singing:"they send me away to find them a fortune a chest filled with diamonds and gold," he took the wine glass and put it to his lips, the bitter sweet alcohol filling his taste buds."The house was awake with shadows and monster's the hallways they echoed and groaned,"

He closed his eyes."I sat alone, in bed til morning, crying,'they're coming for me,'" he took a sip of wine and rocked back and forth."I tried to keep these secrets inside me, my mind like a deadly disease," he hummed."i'm bigger than my body. I'm colder than this home," he slowly raised his voice. He opened his eyes and stared at the floor."I'm meaner than my demons. I'm bigger than these bones, and all the kids cried out, 'please stop, you're scaring me-'"

Natsu choked on his wine as he smelt Gray's scent by the door. He looked over and scowled, surprise still on his face."You're not only a stripper, but you're a newly stalker-" natsu looked down at his hand that held his glass of wine and smiled shortly, looking back at Gray only to see him staring at him like he was a whole different person.

Gray had his arms crossed over his chest, his right foot crossed in front of his left leg and was leaning on a wall. His mouth was pressed in a thin line, his black hair was messy and he had dark bags under his eyes. He was frowning."Flaim for brains," was all he said. He pushed himself off of the wall and walked over to him. He turned and grabbed a chair and said in front of him."So," he said, settling down."How long?"

Natsu took another sip and sighed."Singing?" he asked, frowning."ever si-"

Gray sighed."No, the nightmares," he leaned onto the chair and crossed his arms, watching his teammates reaction. Natsu tensed. His fingers gripped the cup and his eyes turned cold. His mouth went into a hard line and his brow furrowed.

"Nightmares?" he asked stupidly."I haven't had any," he raised his cup back up to his lips, but Gray reached over and took the cup swiftly and slammed it on the table beside them.

"Don't screw with me, Natsu!" Gray said, standing up."You're acting weird and just by the look of it, it looks like you haven't been sleeping in a month!" Gray, glaring at Natsu."We're family, Natsu, we stick with each other, no matter what even if you're not telling us what they're about. I talked about it with Ezra and Lu-"

Natsu stood up. Without noticing, his magic had gone spiral, suffocating the room."You talked to them behind m-" Natsu growled dangerously, scaring Gray a bit."Yeah and you said we're family," Natsu spat, glowering at him. What startled Gray was one, the magic. It was Natsu's he knew that, but he sensed a lot of dark magic. The second was his eyes; they had changed colors. His normal green dark onyx eyes were now not the normal color they used to be; they were not complete black, a red ring trimmed around it and they were angry slits glowering at him.

"Family don't talk behind their friends back," Natsu growled, purposely bumping into his shoulder, making Gray tumble a bit backwards as he walked towards the bedroom door, swiping two bottles of wine to go with him.

Natsu walked in the bedroom quietly, realizing the sleeping cat was on his bed. He walked over and put the two bottles on the nightstand that was beside his bed. He turned and picked up the cat. After Natsu placed his phone on top of the nightstand and was in bed with Happy, he curled up and hid his face, his pink hair sticking out at the top.

For what seemed like hours, the darkness took over and the only think he felt at the moment was the emotion of betrayal and the strong emotion of hurtness.

Natsu awoke, feeling tired. He listened for a bit and heard muffling. It sounded like a male talking to two females. He couldn't hear everything but he could hear most of what they were talking about.

"Gray it's not your fault,"Ezra said, softly. There was shuffling of clinking armour and he heard Gray sigh.

"He's not going to forgive us, Ezra and i'm the one who said it in the first place-"

Natsu growled silently, baring his teeth. They were still talking behind his back! He got up and noticed that immediately the bottles were gone. His phone was there, but it had been moved. He looked over at his bag and saw his towel on top of it. He walked over and took the towel, his conditioner, a red adidas hoodie and a plain black jeans with white socks.

He walked quietly to the bathroom and shut the door behind him. He brushed his teeth and took a shower, drying himself with his heat, still thinking why he brought in a towel. He put on his clothes and grabbed his dirty clothes and walked out if the bathroom.

After he packed his stuff together and put his shoes on, he grabbed his phone and walked out of the bedroom, ignoring his teammates as he strolled over to the toaster. He opened the bread holder and took two pieces out and plopped them into it, pushing the button and turning the knob to the middle.

He tied the bag of bread and put it back and wandered over to the other counter wich held a container of butter and grabbed it. He went over to the butter knifes and grabbed one and settled them both on the counter.

He opened one of the cabinets and took a plate out and shutting the door that belonged to it. He pulled out his phone out and turned, leaning on the counter, his legs crossed. His scrolled to his messages and saw that Mirajane had texted him.

He raised an eyebrow and clicked on her name, the message popping up:

How is your mission going so far, Natsu?

Natsu smiled and rolled his eyes. Mira was the type of person to always ask random things at random times. He texted back:

It kinda sucks actually. Everyone here are being asses.

Natsu jumped a bit when he heard the toaster shoot up. He turned his phone off and tucked it safely in his pocket and grabbed the toast out of the toaster. He buttered the toast and put it in the sink. He put th butter back and quickly dug into his backpack and took out his headphones. He plugged them in his phone and started to play music.

He left one ear uncovered in case his teammates wanted to say anything and started to eat his breakfast.

"Natsu?" Lucy asked him, putter her hands on her hips. When he replied with a "hmm?" while looking down at his phone, not bothering to look up, she huffed."We're leaving," she said, walking up to him and waving her hands in front of him.

"Ok, meet you later," was all he said before shoving his phone in his pocket and ate the last piece of his toast. He grabbed his plate and put it in the sink. He walked over to his bag and heaved it over his shoulder.

"WH-" Lucy raised her hands and dropped them down at her side, gaping at him."Hello?!" she said, stepping in front of him. This wasn't like him. He was usually cheerful and polite. But now he was barely talking to them and disrespected her.

He looked up from his phone and raised his eyebrows."Is there something important?" he asked, cocking his head to the side.

"YES!" Lucy yelled, waving her hands towards her team and her."US!"

Natsu looked at her as if he was unimpressed. He looked back down and looked at the message Mira had sent him:

Oh? What happened?

When he stalked passed Lucy, Gray stepped in."Yo, flaim-brain, you can't ignore us like we're your eni-" natsu cut him off by looking up from his phone and smiled.

"Like we're enemies" he smile sarcastically sweet."Hurts doesn't it?"

The train came to a stop and Natsu was the last person off, considering he was blasting music from headphones. He stuffed his hands in his pockets, holding his stuff like a backpack. He kept nodding to the music, sometimes humming a few lines which surprised everyone except for Gray who had caught him singing the previous night.

When the guild came into view, Natsu's face brightened as he thought of Mirajane the bartender. He started out in an excited pace, which no one on his team didn't notice. Ezra watched him closely as they entered and saw that he dropped his stuff at their usual table, but then went to the bar and started to talk to Mira.

Mira smiled friendly at him and stopped washing the dishes she was washing."Hey, Natsu," she said, walking over to him and sitting next to him."How are your asses?" she asked, laughing."I heard that they can be a royal pain in the butt,"

Natsu grinned, taking his headphones off his ears and putting them around his neck."Oh them," he said, looking back and glancing at Ezra and his team who was watching him closely. He grinned at them and turned back to his conversation."You know, being royal jerks as usual," he said, sighing."Hey can i have a shot of wine?" he asked, standing a bit on the stool so he could look what choices there were.

Mira got up and smiled."Yes sir," she said, curtising and then heading behind the bar.

"Sir?" he raised his eyebrows."Now i know i'm old for sure," he muttered a playful scowl tugging at his lips."I wonder what that makes Guildarts and Gramps,"

Mira slapped his shoulder playfully, scowling, trying not to laugh."Natsu!" she said, serving him his drink."You know better than to say that!" she said.

Shrugging, Natsu took his drink and took a sip. Mira, surprised frowned."When did you start drinking?" she asked, making him almost choke.

He swallowed the burning liquid and smiled sadly."Emotions," he mouthed, taking another sip. He exhaled and frowned back when Mira continued to frown at him."What?" he asked.

"I know you don't want to talk about but-" she bit her lip."You need to talk about to someone,"

"No,no,no,no,p!" he shouted, standing up, slamming his hand on the bar, startling Mira."For the last time, everybody need to mind their own fucking business or i swear i will kill each and everyone of you until it stops," he growled like no other demon she ever heard.

She whimpered and shrunk away. An angry aura appeared around him, making the room shudder in fear. He gasped slightly and fell to his knees, covering his head. A pounding headache was blasting in his head, like music at a concert and his heart felt like it was on literal fire. He gasped and clutching his chest he squeezed his eyes shut and he landed on the floor face first.

Gray, who felt the same kind of dark magic around him like before, got up and yelled,"Everyone out now!" his eyes were filled with fear, but his actions showed anger.

Startling everyone, he shouted louder and finally got everyone to move except for team Natsu, people were screaming to get out of the way, shoving for the exit, making Natsu scream in pain, his headache getting worse.

Natsu cried, clutching his head, his grip making it hard to breath.

"You should except me and forget them," the voice said in his head."I'm the only family you have,"

"Shut up!" Natsu shouted, shaking. His breathing was breathing becoming ragged. He shook his head, trying to clear the voice out of his head.'Stop!' He screamed in his head. He could hear the voice smirk.'I don't want you!'

"You say that now," The voice said, growling."but you'll be asking for me soon, just you watch. You puny humans won't survive without my and my power,"

And with that, the pain went away and Natsu stilled. His breathing became even, but his hands were still shaking. No
