Chapter 1

The fateful meeting

Natsu POV

I traveled the whole night before I came to Clover Town the capital city of Fiore kingdom.

It was already late as I arrived so took a hotel room near the city's church .Before I planned to change my cloth and go to bed I looked outside of the window .The full moon was clearly to see .Because of the long distance that I walked sleep was the only desire that I possessed . I would leave early in the morning for the next city so I hade to rest .

I searched something yet I didn't know what or why .I only had that feeling of mine that told me where to go next .The only thing I knew is that I searched a human .

Why I search ?

It's because I lost my memories and I wanted them back .

I wanted to know the reason why I had to lose them and who took them .

The only thing I could remember was my name ,age and that I was a mage and what my powers were .After they were taken away from me I woke up in an forest at the border of Fiore .My instinct directly told me to move .I followed it and ended up in Clover Town .

Right at the moment it says to wait .

Suddenly I heard something crash into the wall under the window of my room .

As I looked for someone to go out and look I noted that every light went out and the curtains blocked the sight of what had happened .I looked down as the dust vanished .Facing the wall stood (from right to left) a black haired ,a rusty blond haired (who was their leader) and a brown haired man .The one who has been thrown into the wall was a tall blond haired woman. She had cut and bruises all over her body .She breathed hard and her clothes were slightly thorn at the ends .A thin trail of blood flowed out of her mouth . I felt the sudden demand to protect her .And the men who dared to inflict her pain ,oh how I wanted to cut them into pieces right at the moment .My instinct told me then out of the blue that I had found what I had searched .As realization hit me like a brick wall, I ran as fast as I could to her. Directly into the alley .It only took me two minutes but it was enough time for the hand of their leader to find it's way onto her throat .She hung now above the pavement .Feet's trying to found the lost ground again .She obviously could hard breath because of the rusty blond haired duds iron grip .And something inside of me snapped at the sight in front of me .my instincts took over my body and before one of them could see me I had the black haired dud laying in front of me .Knocked out cold .As they turned to me shock was writhen clearly on their faces .The only exception was the blond haired beauty .She looked completely fascinated by what I had done .The grip of the guy who held her loosened a bit .Enough for her to breath properly .It made me somewhat happy to see that she was alright now .The other guy suddenly snapped out of his shock like state and ran in my direction .His long brown hair was blown out of his face ,so that his gray eyes were visibly .But I gave him the same treatment as the other dud had gotten only seconds ago .One blow with my left foot on the right side of his head was enough to kick him into the wall on my right side .Her was directly out .When looks could have killed in this moment ,the only thing left of the dud in front of me were tiny little pieces .He let the woman fall to the ground and tried to run away .But I simply got after him .

I easily outraced within three seconds and punched him in the back of his head .

Normal POV

Natsu quickly went back to the girl and helped her back on her feet .He wanted to ask her why these guys where after her but he stopped him as soon as he heard the noise from at least twenty men heading into their direction .They obviously wanted to check where the noise came from .But he couldn't shack of this feeling .This feeling that this wasn't the whole reason why they came .He turned to look at the woman next to him .Her face clearly told him that she was terrified and looked for an escape .They hadn't much time left .He quickly made up his mind ,took her wrist and pulled her out of the alley ,into the (sleeping)hotel and into his room .As he looked the door ,closed the window and pulled the curtains close ,he faced the woman who stood there in the middle of his room like stone .Clearly deep in thoughts .

"Who are you and why were they after you ?"

"My name is Lucy Heartfilia .These men were send from my father because I ran away .They sadly got me before I could find you ."

"Why did you came for me ?I have only meet you tonight !I don't know you ! 'I think'"

I don't know you either .But a letter from a man told me I had to .It said that I had to come to this city tonight and find the person on this picture which is you .I simply let my instincts decide ."

They both were silent for a couple of minutes .Till Natsu decided to break it .

"So you found me .What now ?"

"All I know is that I don't go back again ."

His feelings screamed to him to not let her leave him .He didn't knew why but he wanted to keep her by his side .

"Should we travel together then ?"

She looked a little bit confused but her shoulders relaxed directly as she answered him with a question .

"Why should we ?As you said only minutes ago ,we hardly know each other !Why do you ask me out of all people ? "

"First :Because you obviously didn't want to back home ,second :Where is the problem ?We can easily change that and third :Because my feelings told me to come here and meet someone and now they want me to travel with you .Plus you didn't thought about it either before coming here and search a complete stranger .Reasons enough for you ?"

He countered every one of her questions and was grinning like a silly and cute child .She only blushed at the sight and turned around so that he couldn't see it .

"You got me .I will go with you but only if you help me with something first ."

"What do I have to do ?"

She abruptly turned back to face him again .Slightly taken aback .She directly looked at his smiling ,no scratch that ,handsome and cut grinning face .Her blush deepened in it's color but she couldn't tore her eyes away this time .She looked at him ,silent for a moment .As she didn't said anything at all ,he opened his eyes and looked at her cut and flushed face .Her surprised eyes then suddenly changed from brown to a happy emerald green color but as soon as they changed they changed back to the warm but serious color of brown .

"I have to get the Amulet my mother left me ,back in order for my magic to return and make my celestial keys useful again ."

She took twelve golden keys ,seven silver keys ,a red ,a blue ,a green ,a white ,a platinum and a black key out of her pouch that hung on her belt .Each of them looked differently and was unique .She quickly put them back again .

"I will help you ."

"Really ?But I have to get it back from that rich guy who stole it from me ."

"No problem .I will definitely help you !I am not for nothing a mage when not for helping !"

"You are ?"

She looked interested in what kind of magic he possessed .

"Yeah ,I am a dragon slayer .My magic is based on fire ."

"I heard of this kind of magic .It's lost magic and very rare .It is said that only dragons can teach you in that magic .Who thought you ?"

"That is my problem .I lost my memories .Someone stole them and I want to have them back !"

"Oh. Alright !You will help me with my Amulet and I help you with your memories ."

"Really ?"

"Sure .Deal ?"

"Deal !And thanks ."

"Alright !Then lets go and get your Amulet .By the way where lives this guy ?"

"In this city .He comes tomorrow evening back from a trip with my father .He took it with him .I saw it hanging a little bit out of his Jacked ."

"Then let us sleep .We need our power tomorrow ."

"Alright and thanks .

Lucy went to the big couch in the room and lay her back on the ground .Natsu gave her a comforter that lay separate on the ground of the dresser and a pillow . He didn't wanted to let her lay on the couch so he walked back only to meet with her sleeping face .He changed his cloth and as soon as he lay comfortable sleep claimed him too .Tomorrow they would get the Amulet and start to travel together .
