A/N: Thank you all for the lovely reviews! It means a lot to me.

This is a very very very short drabble. Just a simple explanation as in why Lucy thinks Natsu is a dragon. I may continue, as in I have a few ideas. I just have to type them out.

Chapter 3

The truth

"Master Makarov."

The old man looked up from the papers on his desk. "Erza," he replied.

The redhead sighed and clenched her fists. Makarov eyed her in curiosity. He knew what she wanted to dicuss.

"It's Lucy," Erza finally said after a few moments. "I'm worried."

"We're worried," the master corrected her. Erza nodded.

"It seems she's now hallucinating Natsu is a dragon."

"I know."

"But he's not."

Makarov sighed and stood up from his chair. He walked towards the window and watched the clear sky. Unconsciously, he was searching for a large creature with scales.

"How do you know that?"

The question surprised Erza. "Because he's dead!"

"Were you there when he died?"

"No."

"Do you know what happened?"

The requip mage blinked twice. "Do you what happened?" She shot back.

Makarov chuckled and shook his head.

"Who were there when Natsu was supposedly killed?"

"Happy and Lucy were present on the crime scene. Gray, Wendy and I also accompanied on the mission, but we were fighting elsewhere."

"What do we know about Natsu's death?" Master asked.

Erza swallowed, but finished her story with a fragile voice. "Lucy seems to think he is still alive. Happy says he was killed with magic. When we found them, Lucy was unconscious and Happy was murmuring that magic was evil."

"Lucy came to me that day."

Erza held her breath.

"It wasn't the monster who hit Natsu with magic."

The redhead widened her eyes. "How does she know that? Happy said she wasn't awake when Natsu got hit, slipped and fell of the edge." Erza clenched her teeth. "On top of that, we never found his body!"

Tears rolled down her cheeks. "Who did it?"

The master turned around, looked her in the eye and spoke the following words.

"It was Zeref."
