Chapter 7
My Scarf
Natsu followed behind Mavis as she led him towards his friends.
"I can smell them!" Shouted Natsu.
"Shhhh!" Said Mavis, "They'll hear you!"
"Whoops." Natsu said.
Natsu walked towards the group of Fairy Tail members, upwind, so that if Gajeel and Wendy were there they wouldn't smell him.
Now, let's see who passed. Thought Natsu. Let's see… Happy! And wait who is that with him?
Natsu stared at the black haired boy sitting in the corner. Is that Zeref?! It has to be!
Natsu saw that Zeref was wearing the scarf Igneel had given him. As soon as he's alone I'm getting that scarf! Natsu thought determinedly. Okay who else is paired up. Loki and… Gray!? This is soo not cool! He can't become S-Class before me! I guess I'll…I'll... just.. watch. Natsu looked sadly at his rival. I can't forget that after this, I'm not going back with them... Natsu sighed. Okay, who else made it? Gajeel and Levy? That's a weird match… Who else? Elfman and Evergreen? Another weird match… I wonder why those two chose each other.
Anyway, who's left? I see Cana and… Lucy...
Natsu looked fondly at his teammate. I think she is one of the people I'll miss the most…
A shiver passed down Lucy's spine. It felt like someone was watching her!
Lucy whipped her head around and swore she saw someone duck behind a tree in the distance.
"Cana!" Lucy said worried, "I think something's watching us!"
"You're probably just imagining it Lucy, that or it's just some wild animal." Said Cana brushing it off.
Wait! A lightbulb went off in Lucy's head. What if that's Natsu?!
Without thinking Lucy called out, "NATSU!?" No reply.
Everyone including the Master and Zeref turned and stared at Lucy.
So she still thinks that she know's The Dark Wizard Natsu. Troubling… Thought Makarov.
Levy had already explained in full detail to Makarov what had transpired earlier that week.
Happy and Zeref look sadly at Lucy. While the others tried to laugh it off.
Embarrassed Lucy just looked at her feet.
"Well on that note, let's start the second Trial." Said Makarov, "You all have six hours to find Mavis's grave, where I'll be waiting. You can start as soon as I'm completely out of sight."
"Let's do this!" Said Gray.
Natsu decided to follow Zeref. He wanted to see if Zeref had his own memories or not and get his scarf back. Mavis decided to follow Natsu.
"That was a close one back there, Natsu." Mavis said, "That blond girl almost saw you."
"Ya," said Natsu, "And by the way her name is Lucy."
As they were walking a drop of sweat rolled down Natsu's face, "Mavis… I lost them…"
Mavis sighed.
"I'll look this way," said Natsu, "Can you look that way and tell me if you find them?"
"Okay." Mavis said.
Having my magic all mixed up sucks! Thought Natsu. I could barely smell the teams earlier until we were pretty close.
Lost in thought about how stupid his situation was, Natsu walked through some bushes only to stumble upon Evergreen and Elfman.
"Oh no." Natsu turned to leave.
"Who are you?" Said Elfman
"Only people from our guild can enter here." Continued Evergreen.
Natsu's blood ran cold.
"You don't remember me at all?" Natsu asked.
"Who are you!?" Repeated Elfman as he began to run at Natsu.
"NO! Stay away!" Natsu shouted, "I'm not safe!"
Elfman stopped. "What are you talking about?"
"I'll go! Just don't come near me!" Natsu said. Did I really just say that? Natsu thought in disbelief. I never thought that I would be a danger to my friends…
"What's with this guy?" Questioned Evergreen.
"Is it really okay to let him off like that? Asked Elfman.
Natsu's head began to hurt.
"Oh no." Natsu said, "The death predation magic is coming…"
"What?" Said Evergreen.
"YOU HAVE TO GET AWAY!" Natsu shouted at the top of his lungs. The wave began expanding rapidly.
"Get down!" Zeref shouted as he pushed Elfman and Evergreen down from behind.
Natsu steadied himself and looked at Zeref.
"Who are you?!" Shouted Zeref
"My scarf." Natsu whispered angrily.
"Zeref why are you here?" Asked Evergreen.
"Don't surprise me like that." Said Elfman.
"Zerrreeef!" Happy called out, "What's going on all the sudden?! Weren't we going to go to the top?!"
This is too much… Thought Natsu as he saw Happy. I'll get the scarf and then get out of here.
"I don't really know what's going on, but I got a really creepy feeling." Said Zeref.
"Wh.. What is this?" Said Happy.
"The trees in the whole area…" Said Evergreen.
"...Have withered." Finished Elfman.
"His magic did this?" Happy asked. Not even Happy remembers me... Natsu said filling with sadness.
"He doesn't seem to be your run-of-the-mill mage." Evergreen said nervously.
"Don't try and get in the way of our exam!" Shouted Zeref, "I don't know who you are, but this is our guild's island!"
"I know… I'll just take the scarf and go…" Natsu said.
"What?!" Zeref shouted holding his scarf tightly.
Natsu teleported beside Zeref and ripped the scarf off of him.
"What the…?" Said Zeref.
Natsu teleported back to his original position.
"Give that back!" Happy and Zeref shouted in unison.
"No it's mine." Said Natsu, "I'll be going now."
"Oh no you won't!" Shouted Zeref as he began to charge at Natsu.
"Good bye Happy, I'll miss you…" Were the last words Natsu spoke before teleporting away.
A/N: For everyone's information I changed the rating of this series from K+ to T just in case I go a little crazy with blood or death or something. I'm strange... XD
