Chapter 4

There was a moment of silence.

Lucy had stiffened at his response but then slumped down on the ground. There was only so much weirdness she could take, she was human.

"You're not." He said while she jumped. It had been almost as if he had read her mind. "I can."

She gasped, just how did he do it? "That's not possible."

"It is but," He snickered, "I can't do it. I heard you say it."

She gave a cry of outrage, marched up to him, and hit him. "Rude!"

"Hey, that hurt!"

She glared at him but soon stopped. Her head hurt a lot more than it had before and she felt her lightheadedness return.

His facial expression changed to mock hurt to concern, "You ok?"

She sat down, "Yeah, just give me a minute. I don't think all that moving was good for me."

She smiled at the end but her eyes expressed the pain she felt, "Wait, it is possible for people to read minds?"

"Yeah, but it's more like that person can predict your moves rather than being able to read your mind." He said trying to explain it to her.

"Oh… So what exactly are you?" She asked cautiously, looking up from under her bangs and meeting his eyes. "And what's your name?"

I haven't told her my name, huh, I thought I had… He cleared his throat and boomed, "My name is the great and powerful Natsu!" Lucy sweat dropped at his dramatics, "And I am a dragon slayer!"

Am I supposed to know what that is? She thought, Dragon slayer does that anything to do with those wings I saw him have?

"Basically, I'm awesome!"

"Shut up and just tell me what it is, Natsu!"

Natsu, who was partially surprised that she had said his name and partially scared of her, shut up. But then opened his mouth to tell her what he was, "I was raised by a dragon who taught me how to magic on how to slay them."

Lucy frowned, "But then couldn't you kill him. Why would he teach you how to kill his species?"

"Dunno, ask him." He said and then marched away with his scarf swaying in the wind.

Lucy was about to tell him to wait for her but then realized that she was talking to a 'Dragon Slayer' who had pointed ears and that she had hallucinations of him having scaly wings on his back fighting some else who also had pointed ears. Just what had happened? Where was Aquarius? Why was she even trusting this 'person' and why did she believe what he said about Aquarius not being there?

She let out a scream of frustration. The birds in the trees all flew up and created a cloud of darkness as they moved to another place. "I'm sorry, you can come back now." She apologized to the birds. Her foster mother had always said that she must be respectful of nature and so if she ever disrupted the peace, she had to apologize.

She hated being clueless and she hated that in just one day her life could be turned upside down to where she was in the middle of some woods in the middle of nowhere with someone she even know if she could trust.

Finally, she took a deep breath and straightened her back, she would get all the answers when he came back.


Two hours later Lucy was losing hope, he still hadn't come back. She was starving so she got up and looked for berries she could eat.

While looking for something edible, she thought about her situation (she was thinking a lot). It just didn't make sense to her.

Natsu had no reason to lie to her about Aquarius not being there, but if he was telling her the truth that meant that her foster mother had abandoned her. The blue haired lady had never liked her but Lucy hadn't thought she would just leave her. She had thought that they had gotten over their differences a while back but here she was proven wrong.

No, she couldn't think that of Aquarius, Natsu was lying. There was no other answer.

Something violet caught her eye and she bent down to look at it better. She gasped, the something that had caught her eye was purple, swirly wings like a swallowtail butterfly and they were the size of her hand, if not a little bigger. Which should have been impossible but the proof was right there in front of her.

Just what was going on here?

Someone tsk-ed behind her making her jump. She spun around closing her brown orbs in fear of what she would see.

"I will have to tell the master about this, they're being killed again." The person muttered. Lucy opened her eyes at the familiar voice, it was Natsu.

"What?"

"Nothing, just me talking to myself."

"Oh, okay." She took a deep breath, "Was I hallucinating when I saw you with red wings like a dragon?"

"Nope." He said with the most carefree smile she had ever seen. It was almost cute. Almost.

"So… what are you then?"

He sighed, "I already told you, I'm a dragon slayer."

"So you gain wings by being one?" She questioned.

"Oh, no, I have wings because I'm a Faerie." He said like it was the most common thing ever while Lucy was in shock.

"Fearies don't exist." She said her hands shaking, "they don't exist."

"Su-ure." He sang.

She tightened her hands into fists to stop their shaking, "Don't mock me. They aren't real."

"Then I'm not real, Lucy." He said raising his arms exposing himself.

"So say they're real, what does that have to do with me? Why am I involved?" Lucy asked.

He sighed, "Basically, there are certain people who can see through our disguises when we go to the human world and those are usually brought to the Faerie world because they can't live a normal life here. And your one of those people and the guy who attacked your car was someone who came to get you."

"Why do they want me though?" She asked.

"The truth is that people like you are often used as tools to find other faeries who are disguised. You can see through our disguise that faeries and humans can't see so your considered valuable in my world. However, the court I belong to collects them to protect them from other courts who want to use them," he summarized.

My hair was blown in my face as I said, "So if I want to be free, I follow you into faerie land?"

"Yes."

"Then I don't really have a choice do I?"

He nodded.

"Then we better get going." I said sealing my fate of going where fearie's live.
