Chapter 3
Out of respect of Natsu's thinking, they all stayed quiet. Even Gray didn't bother saying anything to Natsu. You could tell that this was nothing like Natsu. Thinking wasn't really his thing.
We finally reached the hotel. I looked to the side to see the bright sun lowering to the mountains turning the sky pink and orange. Then I nervously walked in the hotel and followed the group to the large penthouse they had gotten from the Kingdom of Fiore since they were competing in the Grand Magic Games. " Can somebody explain what exactly is going on here?" Erza said firmly. She was so scary, she made my face cold as Alaska. " yeah, who is she?" Lucy said jealously. " Don't worry, I'm definitely not a threat." I say nervously. " Natsu, do you want to say it, or should I?" I asked politely. Natsu shrugged. "Fine, I will." I said with my throat dry as ever. " well, um... I'm Nadia... Dragneel... Natsu's brother..." I said about to have a nervous breakdown.
All of them gasped. They sat right across from me and Natsu with their jaws dropped to the floor. " What? Is- is that true?" Lucy said in shock. Me and Natsu both nodded our heads. Gray just looked at me and Natsu back and forth. Erza was calming herself. " well then... you sure look like him..." Erza said still stunned by my words. My hands were crying with sweat.
" Do you have dragon slayer magic like me?" Natsu asked
" um... yes... I have Earth Dragon Slayer Magic..." I said. " So who were you raised by?" Gray blurted. " I was raised by a couple who studied and knew dragons... they named me Nadia Dragneel because the basket had stated my name right on the side of it."
I said trying to comfort myself.
We all took a minute to look at Natsu. He was just sitting there with his head down. " why would igneel give you away, and keep me?" Natsu said puzzled. " I asked that myself from the time I first saw you." I Told Natsu.
" Um... let's take a break from this, and let's have some tea..." Lucy said getting up from her seat to head for the small cabinet packed with good munchies and tea bags. " yeah, flame-brain over here is about to have a nervous breakdown." Gray said smirking " at least I have a brain, ice princess!" Natsu said bickering. " I will beat the snot out of you both, this is not the time to be fighting!" Erza said threatening. They both immediately sat down and said " yes ma'am." She made me so scared that I started to shiver for a second.
Lucy came back to the two large sofas with wooden tray full of large mugs of warm black tea. " Thank you" I said politely. She nodded and smiled to make me feel comfortable. By then there was a peaceful silence with all of us sipping the calming tea although Natsu of course was chugging the tea down and let out a loud burp. " NATSU!" Erza yelled as she punched him in the arm. I couldn't help but let out a small giggle. It felt like I already had a family again. Who knew I could just find an unexpected sibling. Keep an eye out for more! ~Nadia Dragneel
