Here's the second chapter, enjoy.

Chapter 2

"What's your name," the blond girl asked.

"Kevin, yours," I asked.

"I'm Lucy," she said, "The girl in the armor is Erza, the shirtless guy is Gray, and the guy with the scarf is Natsu. Oh, the flying blue cat is Happy.

"A strong group of friends," I said.

"You couldn't be anymore right," Lucy said.

You know, these people don't seem to be that bad. They're actually quite funny. Especially Natsu and Gray, they seem to fight each other over the dumbest things and they always stop when Erza tells them to. From the looks of it they're both scared of her. Yup, they definitely are. I was right; they are a strange group of friends.

"Hey Kevin, how did you get those handcuffs," Gray asked.

"Honestly… I don't know myself," I said.

"How wouldn't you know," Natsu said.

"I guess I have to start from the beginning," I said.

Five Years Ago

I ran as hard as my legs could possibly carry me, and even though I could feel my feet pounding against the dirt I knew my pursuers were directly behind me. I ran through bushes and tree branches, not caring that they were cutting into my skin. One question kept repeating in my mind. Why are they after me?

"He's over there."

"Crap," I said.

I started running faster, ignoring the burning in my legs. I have to keep going, who know's what they would do to me if they catch me. The next thing I know was they shot magic at me and one got me straight in the back. I fell screaming in pain. It felt like my back was burning.

"That's gonna leave a mark," someone said.

I forced my head in the direction the voice came from. There stood one of my pursuers with fire dancing around him. He must have fired at me with fire magic. Damn him.

"Aw, does it hurt," he said while he stomped his foot on my back.

I hissed in pain while he pushed harder on my wounded back. My god why is this happening to me. I never did anything to deserve this, so why are they doing this. My eyes started to blur. I'm going to pass out. I can't, they're going to do something if i pass out. I have to keep my eyes open, no matter what. My little pep talk wasn't enough because soon after I passed out from the pain.

I woke up to pain exploding through my back and my shoulders. I tried moving my arms but they wouldn't budge. The reason for that is because my hands are chained above my head to the wall. I decided to lean back against the wall to atleast try to relax my arms. And of course I forgot about the burn, so right when my back touched the wall I hissed. I noticed how cold the wall was so I gently relaxed my back onto the wall while biting back screams of anguish.

Even though it hurt so much it felt so good. The cold wall was starting to help with the pain. You could say it was numbing my back so i would feel less pain. I started to fall asleep when the sound of a door crashing open startled me.

"Well, well, well… look who's up," someone said.

"What do you want from me?" I asked.

"Straight to the point," he said.

He walked up to me and slammed his foot into my gut. He kept grinding his shoe till it felt like he was going to tear my skin off. He then bent down so we were face to face.

"You have something we want," he said.

"What would I have that you want," I asked.

He never answered me and after that day I was constantly beaten and tortured. It's like they were trying to bring something out of me through torture. Every day for five years I went through hell because they want something I don't have.

Present Time

During my explanation it seemed we stopped walking. I had my head down when I was telling my story.

"That's horrible," Lucy said.

I looked up to meet their eyes. Lucy and Happy were on the verge of crying while natsu, Gray, and Erza looked pissed.

"If I ever lay my eye's on them they're going to pay," Natsu said while slamming his fist in his hand.

"You don't even know who they are," I said.

"It doesn't matter to him if he knows them,if they did something wrong he wants to beat them," Lucy explained.

I looked at them in shock. They're willing to help me even though we just met. When I was deep in thought someone put their hand on my shoulder. I turned my head to see Erza smiling at me. For some reason her smile made me feel secure.

"Don't worry, we will help you," Erza said with determination.

I smiled at that remark… wait, I smiled. I haven't smiled in over 5 years. Well.. it shows just how much I'm starting to trust these people. I wonder if they would think of me as a friend? As i was thinking these things through we came upon a city.

"Is this where you guys live?" I asked.

"Yep," Natsu said.

"Our guild is that building over there," Lucy said while pointing to a building that had the same mark as they have on their bodies, the Fairy Tail mark.

"You ready to meet everyone?" Erza asked.

"Huh," I said.

Then out of nowhere Natsu grabbed my arm and started dragging me their guild. Why the hell is he dragging me? The next thing I know he busted down the doors and yelled, "WE'RE BACK!"
