The next morning Natsu was up and ready for the day. He went to the kitchen and was surprised to see a plate of food ready for him to eat. He wondered where it could have come from but he sat down at the table and began to eat. The meal was so amazing that Natsu was crying tears of joy as he ate the food. When he was done eating he opened the journal and saw that there was a message already there.

Good morning, Natsu. I hope that you liked the food. If you want to meet me, just go to the place where you found my cloak.

Natsu blinked but read the message again. When he realized what it meant he dashed out of the house, out of the small town and ran with full energy to the woods where he had found the cloak almost a week ago.

(In the woods)

Natsu arrived to the place where he had found the cloak then called out.

"Hello! Neona, Are you here?"

There was no reply but that didn't make Natsu sad, so he sat on the stone.

He soon heard a rustling in the bushes behind him and looked to see what it was. To his surprise he saw that there was a beautiful young woman, about the same age as him coming out of the bushes. She had cream tone skin, green eyes and glossy hair that hung to her lower back. She wore a light tan top that covered her torso, leaving her stomach exposed and a light tan long dress that had a slit on the left side of it.

"Hello there, Natsu. I am Neona."

Natsu blinked then smiled.

"Hi there."

"Mind if I join you?"

"Don't mind at all."

Neona smiled and sat next to him then Natsu looked at her.

"Sorry for taking your cloak."

"It's fine."

"I couldn't but wonder, how come you were writing to me?"

"Well when I saw first saw you here, you looked a little sad about something. I figured that it was because you wanted something to talk to. You know like someone who can use magic."

Natsu smiled as he got closer to her.

"You can use magic too?"

"Yes. I use Territory."

He blinked in confusion.

"Territory? How does that work?"

Neona smiled at him.

"It's a lost magic that allows me to change space to anyway I want, as long as I can see it."

"That's so cool!"

"What kind of magic do you use?"

Natsu gave her a large toothy grin.

"I'm a fire mage, in fact I;m a fire dragon slayer!"

Neona blinked in surprise but then smiled.

They talked for the whole day but then after a long time of talking Natsu had his head lifted as if he was thinking about something.

"Hey Neona, I was wondering something?"

She looked at him.

"Yes?"

"How come you don't live in the village?"

Neona looked away to the ground.

"I just don't well around others."

Natsu nodded then looked at her.

"By any chance have heard of the Night demon?"

Neona nodded.

"Yes. I have heard of her. There was a time that the Night demon was a human and lived in the village. In fact, her home is the place that you're in right now."

Natsu's face turned into a stressed horror expression.

"That explains so much."

Neona looked at him.

"What do you mean?"

Natsu looked at her blankly.

"Well you see, since I have been in this village I have seen the Night demon in the house with me and that is because I would be awaken by something. She hasn't done anything physical to me but I can't help but wonder why she would watch me sleep."

Neona managed to keep her laughter in because Natsu seemed kind of serious when he mentioned that to her. She stood up then looked at him smiling.

"Well Natsu I must be going."

Natsu got off the rock and looked at her.

"Well it's getting late, let me walk you home."

Neona blushed as she looked away.

"No thank you, I don't want the Night demon to get you."

Natsu frowned but her respected what she told him. They said their goodbyes then they both left to their homes.

(That night)

Natsu wanted to write to Neona so bad but he figured that he should meet her again tomorrow. Just like the night before he went to sleep with the journal hugged to his chest.

When it was Midnight, Natsu was woken up by a feeling of someone watching him. He tried to turn but this time he couldn't move, it felt like something or someone was sitting on him with their leg on either side of his waist. Natsu looked up and to his surprise gleaming green eyes were looking at him but not in a dangerous way.

"Night demon..."

Natsu felt a pair of clawed hands gently grab his face then he felt the demon bringing him a little closer to her. The next thing Natsu knew was he was being kissed and the Night demon kept her clawed hands in place as she kissed him. Natsu, not knowing what to do or get her to stop just had his hands on the bed to keep himself up.

When the kiss was over Natsu noticed the scent from the Night demon. The Night demon smelled like...vanilla? Wait? Vanilla? Natsu tackled the Night demon to the floor and held her firmly in place.

"Who are you?"

"..."

"Tell me who you are. I'm not going to let the villagers know about this."

"..."

Natsu frowned but there was a candle that was lit then he grabbed both the lit candle and the Night demon and took them into one of the room that he knew had candle all over the place.

When they got to the room Natsu closed the door and with the lit candle he lit all the other candles.

When all the candles were lit he looked at the Night demon and his face became to a mixture of horror in confusion.

"...Neona?!"

Neona just looked at him with sad eyes.

She wore the same outfit that she had worn earlier but instead of her clothes being light tan, they were black. She wore thigh high black boots, black gloves that covered her clawed hands and she wore the cloak that he had accidentally took. She had thin dark rings around her eyes and she had thin curled horns.

"Neona, why?!"

Neona lowered her head.

"My name isn't Neona, It's Minerva."

Natsu blinked.

"What?! But you said-"

"I know what I said but I was scared to tell you what my real name was so I lied about it."

Natsu just looked at her.

"Then tell me why. Why are you the Night demon?"

Minerva looked away, she just couldn't look at him but then Natsu had grabbed her by her arms, making her to look at him.

"Tell me!"

Minerva's eyes widen when she saw that Natsu was trying to fight back the tears. Minerva just looked at him.

"I will tell you everything you want to know but you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone about this."

Natsu nodded then Minerva began to share her past to him.

AN: Hey Everybody! I hope that you liked this chapter and do not worry, I will share what happened to Minerva in the next chapter. Whoever guessed that Neona was really Minerva, CONGRATS to you all! I will update soon, Bye!
