And here is another chapter a bit shorter than usual, but still there it is.

Chapter X : The Demon Slayers

Natsu and the rest were shocked when the cave entrance collapsed just minutes after they got out of there. "Gajeel! Are you alright! Say something if you're alive!" Everyone was shouting. And then

a pile of rubble started to move. The iron dragon slayer got out of the cave unscathed, well almost.

The pink-haired mage patted Gajeel on the back saying. "good job!" And the raven-haired mage said nothing only showing agony. "That's enough Natsu." Said Jellal while separating the two dragon slayers before another fight started. "O.K. Everyone let's take O'tann and head back to

the inn" "No way old man! First you will explain what was that thing which looked a lot like me." Responded Gajeel. Seeing that the iron dragon slayer wouldn't wait with it, Ivan began explaining him. "Purehito probably told something already to your friend as well as I did." Ivan set his eyes on Natsu. The pink-haired mage scratched his head and said. "Well there was something about demon slayers but I wasn't interested in that." Ivan was speechless for a few seconds. "It seems I'll have to start from the beginning. In our world there are no dragons so we also don't have dragon slayers. To be honest until I had a chat with Natsu I didn't know what dragons were. In Darkland we have demons, but there aren't anything close to surrogate parents. Those creatures used abduct children. Those unfortunate little ones were made slaves. Submitted to some of the most unspeakable atrocities. Many were tortured and even mutilated just for the pleasure of their masters. Though mostly they were forced to do hard labors often without having anything to eat or a rest. Those unlucky captives after years of such treatment if they survived they changed. They became either paranoid and locked inside or cruel and sadistic. Few of them went even completely insane. In some of these children after spending so much time with their demon masters awakened a new kind of magic which helped them kill their master and free themselves. That's how a demon slayer is born. That beast you fought there was a demon slayer one of three slayers of "Goats Song" Gajeel."

"Dam! Than they have someone like Dragneel to?" Asked the Iron dragon slayer. "Yes their current guild master Natsu Dagon." "What!" Responded Gajeel to the news. "Enough explaining, let us hurry back!" Said Ivan to all of them. "But I have a question." Said Natsu. "Not now! Lets return first to the inn and Gajeel could you keep some distance between us."

On their way back they didn't had any problems. Only Gajeel was kinda pissed because he had to walk few meters behind the rest, but that was understandable. The mere sight of him caused Levy to tremble in fear. As they reached the inn Jellal was thrilled to see Ultear back on her feet. He just jumped towards her, but before he could get near enough to hug her he received a kick to the stomach. Ultear ignored the blue-haired man lying on the floor and went straight towards the Goats Songs mage. Together with Meredy she took the bluenette to a room. "O.K. Guys lets leave her to those." Said Ivan. Before he could say anything else Laxus interrupted him. "So who was the assailant?" "Me." Answered the iron dragon slayer. Dread explained the cryptic answer to his confused son.

- I knew it. I felt something demonic back there.

- How so?

- Demon slayers can feel the presence of another one.

- What!

After that shocking statement the two dragon slayers heard the rest of the story about demons and demon slayers. They were surprised to here that unlike the dragons which suddenly vanished, the demons were imprisoned by the most powerful mages of the time, but only those too powerful to destroy. And some of lesser ones were still on the loose, but after witnessing the power of demon slayers those lesser demons were hunted down so that their hearts which contained their magic could be transplanted into mages. Of course these demon slayers weren't as powerful as the originals, but they also weren't twisted as the originals. Just as they finished the story Meredy came. "She is sleeping now. I hope she will be fine after what happened to her. I can't imagine being ravaged by such beast. Her flesh being torn by his giant steel rod, those cold and sharp claws touching her skin. Her flower was defiled for hours and hours changing her pussy into cream-puff filled with the beasts seed." Finally a blow to the head stopped Meredy's jabber. "That's enough of your distasteful monolog." Ultear scolded Meredy. "But she is right. That girl went through a lot. She won't be able to talk for a few hours." Though Natsu understood it, he still felt furious that he couldn't get the location where Erza was. The safety of his beautiful knight was the only thing on his head. He knew that the Titania is tough, but he also knew that her weakest spot was her big and delicate heart. For him seeing Lucy, Levy and Gajeel as enemies wasn't a pleasant sight and now Erza is surrounded by familiar faces like his own, but they aren't friends.

The dragon slayer wasn't far from the truth. In a dark damp room one redhead was laughing from her wicked pleasures and the other was showing pain, anger and fear with a single expression. With contempt Scarlet asked her tormentor. "I thought this was an interrogation so why haven't you asked me any question?" A moment past before she heard an answer. "Good question. Maybe if I finished to early my darling think of something stupid or I just like to hurt you." Erza Dagon put her heel on Titania's shoulder and said. "I think I'll take a rest." She stepped out of the cell leaving the door open. Tough without clothes, chained and bleeding after receiving so many whips she feels relieved. She was glad her oppressor was her and him. She wouldn't stand if the one who tortured her or even worse defiled her was the man with the same face as the one most dear to her heart. The sound of footsteps stopped those thoughts. "That was really a short brake!" Scarlet spitted out, but the person that showed in front of her made her speechless.

More will come, that is certain. I don't know when, but I'll try to make it as quick as possible. If you have any opinions on my stories or you have an interesting idea please share it with me. It may really help with my writing.
