I Will Find You

I opened my eyes hesitantly, but the stinging sun forced them shut again. Where am I? I thought to myself, What the hell happened? I tried opening my eyes again, slower and more cautiously now. Pink hair, hanging over my eyes kept me from seeing. My thoughts were so scattered that it took me a minute to realize the hair was my own. Moving was out of the question, my arms lolled by my sides, my head resting on a pillow and my legs so numb that I questioned whether I still had them. I decided to collect my memories and try to piece together what happened during that fight. The last thing I remember is seeing Lucy's weeping face just millimeters from my fist, then a great force struck me in my stomach and then… nothing. Feeling a drop land on my face made me notice how much I was sweating. I was drenched. How could this be? The pungent aroma of ale filled my nostrils with each breath that I took. Despite my confusion, the smell gave me a sort of nostalgic feel. Unbearable heat conquered my body, leaving me in agony, but too weak to move. What could have possibly done this to a fire wizard? I continued to consider what had happened, where I was and how I got here for what seemed like hours before I made an attempt at getting up. I put every last ounce of strength I had into my arms and legs, but to no avail. My head only turned on its side. Right, think again. Think, think, think, think, think! What happened? why can't I— My thoughts were interrupted by a loud creak on a set of stairs below me, accompanied by another thud. Footsteps. Someone was coming for me. My salmon hair still covered my eyes, leaving me blind to any enemy to step into this room. A sudden wave of fear took over my body, causing me to tremble. Without enough strength to speak or cry out for help, I found myself wondering, is this the end? I felt a cold drop run down my cheek. Am I really crying? It was safe to say that I was terrified. Each step seemed to take longer than the one previous to it, as if mocking me. Shivers went down my spine while the footsteps got louder and louder, closer and closer. It felt like an age before the footsteps finally stopped, however, I took no reassurance in this because it meant that now, whoever it was, was in the same room. I gulped and took a deep breath. My heart was a drum and all I could here, as the person making the footsteps drew closer. I could sense them lurking over me. I tried to make a witty remark to the figure, but instead my teeth just started chattering. A familiar voice then said "N-Natsu? Oh my god Natsu! You're awake!" I felt a cold touch on my forehead. Whoever it was moved my hair out of my face, so I could see him. It was… Gray?

I fainted

"No, don't put that there. It'll burn."

"We don't even know if this is going to wake him guys."

"Who cares he's just going to destroy everything looking for that stupid cat"

I heard muffled voices while asleep. That's funny. Gray seems to be talking about Happy.

"Gray! How dare you. How would you feel if you were Natsu?" asked Lucy

"Stupid for one thing" muttered Gray in reply.

Damn that ice block, he's totally gonna get it.

Erza cut in the other's conversation "You two, stop. We have to find a way to tell Natsu that Happy went missing without him going berserk"

No 'Aye sir!' from Happy. Something is odd.

"Why do we even need him? Hot head's already had his ass kicked once. He can't handle it." growled a bold Gray and although I could not see Erza glaring at him, I could feel it.

"We need him to tell us what happened in the fight. He was the only one that saw, and we need to be prepared for the worst. Even master is fretting about that crook." Snapped Erza

"And we're the strongest team in Fairy Tail!" added Lucy, "But first we need the cat."

"No, we need to take down the bad guy. Y'know, before he causes more trouble." argued Gray

"As the strongest here I, Erza Scarlet, say that we should wait for master's orders before proceeding to take on the enemy"

The trio continued to argue about what to do. I'd had enough. Quckly, I sat up, orange flames erupting from my fists. I wasn't ready for a fight with Erza, or Gray, and maybe even Lucy would surpass me in my current state, but Happy was my friend and I intended to bring him home. The others noticed me and quietly gasped when they saw me scowling at them. "I'm going to get Happy", I barked viciously, "tag along if you will". I sprinted off in some direction, not really thinking about where I was going and, with a few mumbled curses, all three ran after me. Just as planned.

Happy, I will find you.
