So, my biggest concern is making our lovable mages out of character. I really hate that in a story, so please tell me (nicely) when I make a mistake so I can adjust. Also just giving reviews would be nice. Just to get the disclaimers out of the way: although I want to, I don't own fairy tail or the characters. The only things I can claim are my OC's and the story plot. I won't keep you from reading any longer, so go on!
Chapter 1
Memories
Natsu shot up, looking around to make sure it was save. Only when he was sure he was alone (save for his blue furry companion) he relaxed. "A dream?" Somehow he knew it was more than that, but if it was a memory, then why did he remember now?
Somewhere in his memories he heard the teachings of his foster dad. He faintly remembers that back than he asked who his parents were. At that time Igneel was teaching him what a standard human family looked like, and told Natsu that he wasn't his real father. "You will remember when your past catches up to you" Igneel said. At that time Natsu didn't understand, and his head hurt if he thought about it too much, so he let it drop.
Maybe it was linked to his dream. No, scratch that, it had to be related. But did that mean that something was about to happen? Maybe it was better to ask gramps about it. "Natsu, what's wrong?" Happy had woken up. "Nothing is wrong Happy" at least he hoped so "go back to sleep." "hmm…Okay" the cat responded sleepily before closing his eyes. In a matter of seconds he was snoring again, mumbling something about fish. Natsu also laid down again, closing his eyes. Hopefully gramps would know what to do.
While walking to the guild Natsu thought about what happened. After waking up in the middle of the night he only had more dreams, no, memories, explaining everything from his first memory to meeting Igneel and forgetting his past. Apparently Igneel had deemed his memories to 'dangerous' to keep. Because of that he had placed a seal over them, making it that when he had to confront his past he would remember. This is what irritated his the most, knowing something was going to happen, but not knowing what. "…and, hey Natsu, are you even listening?" Natsu was jolted out of his thoughts by Happy flying in front of his face. "Ah, sorry Happy. I was just thinking about something." "Eh!? Natsu is thinking?!" the cat replied with a shocked face. Natsu walked though to door of the guildhall "Oi!".
"He's right, you know. Thinking and you don't really go together, unless you want to hurt that flamebrain of yours." Gray, having heard the conversation between Natsu and happy, stood at the bar with a smug look on his face. It was pretty early in the morning, so only a few people were in the guild. "What did you say, droopy eyes" Natsu narrowed his eyes, readying himself for a fight. "You heard me, squinty eyes" sparks could be seen flying between the to, but before a fight could break out a voice stopped them.
"Guys! You're not fighting, are you?" Erza glared at them from her table, her beloved strawberry cheesecake in her hand. "No ma'am!" both said, suddenly standing next to each other, having an arm over the other ones shoulder. "We're best friends, aren't we Natsu?" "Aye sir!" the pink haired mage responded, copying his blue cat. "Good, guild mates shouldn't fight amongst each other, especially not when I'm eating my cake" and with that she turned away. Everyone sweat dropped at her comment, but such is a usual day at fairy tail. "Be glad Erza saved you" the ice mage whispered, making sure that she couldn't hear what he said. "Ha, if Erza wasn't here, you would have been down already" Natsu whispered back. But before a fight could start between the two, probably ending in either a guild brawl or just them beaten to a pulp by Erza, Natsu was reminded of why he wanted to come to the guild this early.
"Hey Mira, is gramps here? I need to talk to him" the barmaid turned around, while cleaning a glass. "He is upstairs. I don't think he is busy, so go ahead. Why do you need to talk to him, tough?" She had a concerned look on her face, but Natsu just waved her of. "It's nothing, just need to talk about something. Happy, here is some cash to buy fish. I'll be back soon, okay?" "Aye sir!" Natsu smiled at his response. When he was sure that the exceed would stay, he turned around to walk up the stairs to gramps' room, not noticing the concerned glances thrown his way.
