The Fire I See
Declaimer I do not own Fairy Tail
Prologue
I can never forget the fire I saw that day. It blazed as brightly as the passion and determination that was in Natsu. The fire that I saw and everyone in Fairy Tail saw, surrounded us all, rising up into the sky as it tried to touch the universe, spreading all across Fiore at the time of the battle.
Mama I cannot even begin to express in words the brilliance of the golden flames that engulfed all of Fiore. The flames represented the beginning of a new era. This story I'm writing is the retelling of history, a story about a man who had the strength to battle the evil that was in Fiore and battle the struggles that was in him. Whoever reads this story please tell it to the people you know and tell them to tell it to the people that they know and hopefully it will reach you Natsu.
Natsu if you are hear this please come back to us, come back to Fairy Tail, we miss you. I miss you…so much. And please know I will never stop looking for you.
Chapter 1 The day it began
Lucy's POV
"Mira, can I have a strawberry milkshake?" The barmaid did not even twitch. Ugh, I've been trying to get Mira's attention for twenty minutes now, at this rate I'm going to starve. Placing my head in my hands in let out a groan. Ever since Lisanna came back from the "dead" most people were too engrossed with Lisanna's story's to talk to me, except Natsu, Erza, Gray, Wendy, Carla, Happy, Master, Levy, and Gejeel. I didn't blame Lisanna I just wish that people didn't ignore me.
"Hey Luce, let's go on a mission." Glancing behind me I saw Natsu was at the guild door with Happy. Waiting for the two idiots to come up to me like normal people, instead of more screaming. I turned around in my stool and watched as they approached me.
"Your rent's due soon isn't it?" Natsu grinned his big grin that I loved so much. I swear I could have kissed him if it wasn't for my fear that he didn't love me the way I loved him. Yes, that's right. I have finally accepted that I love Natsu Dragoneel, the most naïve, destructive, passionate, handsome, and caring guy I have ever met. Oh how I wish that-
"Lucy, Lucy, hey Luce you there." Happy was flying around my head and Natsu was peering into my face with a concerned look.
"Oh Natsu, sorry I was just um… caught up in my thoughts for a moment there." I said giving him a smile, hoping that my face didn't look like a tomato. "Let's go pick a mission." Slipping off my seat I started to walk towards the mission's board. Not hearing the sound of feet behind me I turned around to see Natsu still looking at me with a concerned face.
"I'm fine Natsu." He face was still filled with worry. "Really I'm alright." Walking up to Natsu I grabbed his arm and started pulling him towards the mission's board.
BOOM! Suddenly I was in the air, crashing hard into the brick wall. My head was pounding loudly and there was an obnoxious ringing in my ears. Opening my eyes I looked around I saw that there was a huge hole in the wall to my left with fire surrounding it. To my right Natsu was jumping up and eating up the fire. His eyes swept the place making sure that everyone was alright. When his eyes finally reached me his gaze swept my body to look for any serious injury, looking satisfied he stretched out his hand to help me up.
"You ok Luce?" His voice was deep and dangerous obviously angry about what had happened. I took his outstretched hand and winced in pain. Glancing at my shoulder I saw that it was bleeding, but didn't look like it was out of place.
"Yeah I think I'm fine. Where's Happy?" I said while pulling myself up and taking a good look at the guild. The people were all thrown from where they once were but all looked fine. I looked at the wall and knew that someone had used an explosion to blow it up.
"I'm here!" Glancing to my left I saw Happy floating in the air next to me.
"Everyone alright?" Mira called out. There was a chorus of fine and a few moans but for the most part everyone was completely fine.
"Who. Did. This?" Looking up to the second floor I saw the source of the voice Master Makarov.
With a slam the guild doors opened and in came a panting Wendy holding a letter.
"Everyone… he … he…" I never got to know what she was going to say next because right after that Wendy dropped to the floor. A knife sticking out in the side if her back.
"WENDY" Romeo's voice rang out through the entire guild, he ran over to the young dragon slayer and knelt beside her. "Someone go grab Porlyusica." He screamed at no one in particular.
"I'll go." Jet said right before he ran out of the guild at high speed.
My hand was covering my mouth and my shoulders were shaking from the sobs I that was trying to contain. A hand was put on my shoulder I could tell by the heat that it was Natsu's.
"Luce, she's going to be okay. She's a Fairy Tail member and Fairy Tail members never give up." His voice was rough and hard but I could tell he was trying to restrain his anger as to not make me even more upset.
"Put me down boy." Jet came running in holding Porlyusica bridal style. Gently setting her down Jet ran to the corner as to not get hit again by Porlyusica.
She went and knelt before Wendy and placed a firm grip on the handle of the knife and quickly removed it from Wendy's flesh. There was a small puddle of blood around Wendy now and many members turned away as to not look at the horrific sight before them. Porlyusica started mixing different liquids together and gently rubbed it onto the cut. A bright glow started shining from the wound and the wound started to close up.
"Someone take this girl to a bed in the infirmary." Porlyusica demanded. Romeo didn't hesitate before gently picking up the small girl. Walking in the direction of the infirmary Romeo was mumbling soft words that I couldn't make out.
"Is she going to be okay?" The question came from Carla. She had come to the guild earlier before Wendy to talk to Happy for a while. She now had tears streaming down her cheeks and her paws were clenched into tight fists, her small shoulders shaking from fear of what happened to Wendy.
"She's in a pretty bad state right now. The knife used to stab her had magic on it that slowly drains your magic… the only one who can stop it is Wendy herself. If Wendy can't fight the poison then she will-
"STOP" Natsu yelled at Porlyusica. "Wendy is strong. Wendy is a Fairy Tail mage. She won't give up. EVER." Natsu voice was strong and so matter of fact that for that moment everyone thought he was right and that Wendy would be alright.
My eyes drifted over the room looking at the expressions of the guild members. My eyes landed on the Wendy's blood and beside it lay a single piece of paper.
"What's that?" I said. Walking over I reached down for a piece of paper that lay on the floor.
"Wendy brought it." Carla said not raising her head from her hands. "She brought it in with her." Raising her head Carla
stared right into my eye. "Read it."
I unfolded the crisp white paper that was cold in my hand and started reading. "Dear Fairy Tail,"
Well what did you think?
I would love to hear what you guys thought in the reviews. I'm hoping to make this will be a pretty intense story, and I'll try to update regularly.
Thanks for reading.
Sincerely,
Collette Rune
