Alright beans! I'm back with chapter number two! I hope you all enjoy, and feel free to point out any spelling mistakes or grammar flaws! Sorry again if the characters seem a bit OOC! Anywho, onto the story!

Red was the first thing I saw as my eyes opened. The smell of death, thick with the rotting stench of corpses, filled my nose is seconds flat. I sniffed the air again, grinning at the sight that was before me. Erza, her armor shattered, laid before me. Blood trickled down her pale face. I had beaten the Titania, long with countless other Fairy Tail members. The guild lay in ruins, but it only brought a warm, happy feeling. I let out a laugh, a manical one you would only hear someone insane let out.
Perhaps I had gone insane. It didn't really matter anyway, did it? Once my laughing died down, my ears twitched. The weak thud of wood being thrown drove my attention towards where the guild's bar used to stand.
"Is someone there?" I asked with glee. Maybe the killing spree wasn't over! All noise paused. "Come on! Don't be shy! I only want to play!" The sound of crying came next. It was a high pitched wail, one of a child, followed by an older woman telling the child to shush.
Bisca and Asuka.
"Asuka, Bisca!" I could hear the small dark-haired child squirming in her mother's grip, as Bisca tried to stay silent and hidden. "It's safe to come out!"
No one came out, nor into my line of view. If they weren't going to come out, I'd have to go find them. I took a deep whiff, shuddering in pure bliss as I once again inhaled the scent of destruction. Slowly, and quietly, I made my way over to where the two female's were hiding.
I tore away a large support beam that was lying on top of Bisca, pleased to see her eyes widen in suprise. She clutched Askua closer to her, as the small girl screamed into her chest.
"Get away! Leave us alone or I'll..."
"Kill me?" I sneered. "Erza already said that," I gestured to her charred body, her brown eyes still wide in fear. My eyes lit up as I recalled her screams of agony. "She's dead."
"I'm not afraid ta try! N-now stay away!" She was holding Asuka so tight, she was nearly suffocating the child. An insane grin appeared on my face.
"That's no fun!" I yanked Asuka back by her hair, hoisting her up as she started to scream in pain. Tears rolled down her young face, as Bisca lept up.
"You bastard!"
"Language! You shouldn't swear around a child!" I laughed. Bisca could see the insanity etched into my face, just as I could see the color drain from her's. My arm lit up in flames, and Asuka's screams filled the air.
Shadows danced acrossed the boards behind me, as I then reached out to grab Bisca, my arm dripping with boiling blood.

I jolted up yet again, eyes wide in fear. No sound left my lips this time however, but my awakening had drawn in a few pairs of eyes. I immediately groaned as I realized where I was. Still on the train... Sadly. I let myself slide back down into the lap I had been in previously. Surprisingly, it was Erza's lap.
"Natsu? Are you okay?" It was Lucy. I gave a weak nod. Maybe the dreams weren't something important? My eyes trailed around the cart, catching Gray's own worrying stare. Like always, he was without a shirt. And pants.
"Put in some clothes... Stripper..." I mumbled. The ice mage leapt up.
"AGH! WHERE'D THEY GO?!" He quickly left to go explore the train to find them.
"Natsu. You don't look okay." Erza pointed out. I paled slightly, remembering how her face had looked. Pain, fear and betral.
"Just a dream." I whispered. I buried my face into her skirt, hoping to avoid the female's eyes. Maybe I should tell them, but honestly, seeing Happy snooze on from beside Lucy made me want to do the same. Again.
"Natsu..." Erza's voice sounded a bit dangerous, but I promptly ignored it. That was a bad idea. I could feel the requip mage's stare burn into the back of my head, but I clamped my mouth shut.
Thankfully, that's when Gray returned, still missing a shirt.
As my face melted into a sickly green, Erza started to bark out orders at the raven-haired mage.
"Sorry Erza! I'll go find it right away!" I smiled softly to myself, closing my eyes. Sadly, I knew I wouldn't be falling back asleep this time.
-FT-
"GROUND! OH HOW I'VE MISSED YOU!" I flung myself onto the floor of the train station as soon as the train stopped, hugging the boards as if they'd disappear.
"Natsu. Get up. We have to meet the client." I moaned at Lucy's words, sighing as Happy plopped down onto my head.
"Can't we get food first? I can't go fight on an empty stomach.."
"Is food all you think about, fire breath?"
"WHAT'D YOU JUST CALL ME, ICE FACE?"
"I CALLED YOU FIRE BREATH, FLAME BRAIN!"
"WHY YOU-" Erza slammed our heads together, letting the two of us drop to the floor unceremoniously as she and Lucy continued on. Happy hovered above the two of us, laughing.
I got to my feet, shuffling along behind them. "Come on lil' buddy."
"Aye sir!" We left a naked Gray, quickening our pace to catch up to the two women.
Once I had caught up to them, and pasted them, I gave an enthusiastic smile to the exceed beside me. "I can't wait to kick some monster butt!" I cried out. I could faintly see a trace of an adoring smile cross Erza's lips.
"And then get some fish~!"
"Yea!"

I do believe that's a wrap! I honestly didn't expect to get this out today! And yes, I did change the rating, I'm a bit paranoid. I'll try to do longer chapters. The next one should be out either Thursday or Friday. Thanks so much for reading! I'll see you beans later!
