Chapter 1: I won't let you

Gray and Erza were sitting at a table in the guild. Erza was enjoying one of her strawberry cakes, while Gray had settled to resting his chin on his hand and watching the guild thoughtfully. He had since long noticed Juvia's presence hiding behind the pillar. But to be honest, he wasn't much bothered by it. He had actually learnt to enjoy her presence and had even started to miss it when she wasn't around. He inhaled deeply; what was up with her? Why wouldn't she talk to him like she did back then that one time? But to be truth, he was also to blame. He had no idea how to deal with her feelings for him, and he himself hadn't found the time to think much about what he felt for her ever since that fateful day after the Grand Magic Games had finished happened. Something that had shaken the whole guild. It was a great tragedy.

"It's already been six months..." Erza interrupted his train of thoughts.

Gray eyed her from the corner of his eyes, "yeah, that would probably be the reason why Natsu hasn't shown up yet." As he said this he noticed Juvia clasping her hands against her cheeks, hiding a deep blush. He smiled internly, he wondered what she had been thinking about. He enjoyed watching her, it made him forget the pain of the past.

"Hmmmmm," Erza replied thoughtfully, with a spoon still in her mouth. "Where's Happy?" She looked around the guild, seeing if she would spot him anywhere. She eyed the place where Wendy and Charle were siting at, but didn't spot him there. She could've sworn she had seen him there before.

"Oh no..."

The spoon she was still holding onto dropped on the ground.

"GRAY! WE'RE LEAVING IMMEDIATELY!"

Erza yelled and grabbed Gray by the collar, dragging him along to the exit of the guild leaving a quarter of her strawberry cake behind.

Gray tried to wriggle himself out of her grasp, but to no avail.

"E-Erza? What's wrong?"

Erza glared back at him, making Gray gulp harshly.

"Natsu is in danger," is all she said before she let go of him and the both of them set off in the direction of his house.

After a 5 minutes run they finally arrived at Natsu's house. They broke in easily through the windows and scanned the apartment. Natsu and Happy were nowhere to be found. The apartment was a total mess. Stuff laid scattered around everywhere. There was even a tree growing inside there. Erza checked up on all of the corners, under his bed, in the wardrobe. Gray checked the garden, the bathroom, the kitchen. But neither one of them found any trace of either one of them. They were gone.

"TO THE STATION!" Erza commanded and so they set off in a dash to the station.

As the two of them approached the station they were met by something unbelievable; there was a huge fire refraining them from entering.

"Ice Make Canon!" Gray yelled out and shot many canon bullets in the direction of the fire, but it didn't die off. It still remained intact.

"Ice Make Hamer!" Gray swung his huge ice hamer against the fire, but still it remained intact.

"Tch! Ice Make Ice River!" Gray yelled out even harder. A river of ice came out of his palms and it seemed as if it would make the fire go out, but it didn't happen.

Erza knew there was nothig else they could do but to pass through the fire by force.

"FOLLOW RIGHT AFTER ME!" She commanded to Gray.

She took a step back before she dashed forward, but the moment she came into contact with the fire she was shot four meters back, colliding with Gray during the flight.

The two of them got back up to their feet and tried it out again and again, each time being sent back flying by meters.

"NATSU WHERE THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING!" Erza yelled out of the top of her lungs. She was enraged, she was sad, upset, afraid. All she wanted to do was take Natsu and Happy back. They wouldn't be able to make it out alive on their own. Heck, even if the whole guild went none of them would be able to survive.

"HAVEN'T WE ASKED YOU TO GIVE IT TIME! WE'RE MAKING PLANS! BUT DON'T GO AND DO SOMETHING AS RASHLY AS THIS! YOU'LL BE KILLING YOURSELF NATSUUUUU!" Erza yelled. Her face was tearstruck and she had bruises all over her body.

Gray wasn't able to hold back his tears any longer. Why hadn't they been able to predict this would someday happen? Why hadn't he been able to stop this? Why was fate doing this to them? He clutched his fingers is his hair. He bit his tongue, trying to hold back the tears. "Natsu... Happy... Lucy..!" And then he fell on his knees, hiding his face in his hands, sobbing uncontrollably. All of the pain from that one day had returned ten fold.

Erza kept trying to break through the wall of fire surrounding the building, and each time falling back.

"I won't let you... I won't let you! I WON'T LET YOU!" She screamed out each time.
