Hello there! :D

I'm faster this time, ne? It's thanks to my free time XD

I assume that everyone saw Fairy Tail chapter 332 and 334 :) And I'm wondering if someone had thoughts smilar to mines. In Fairy Tail chapter 332 Atlas Flame, said that Igneel is King of Flame Dragons, sooooo if Natsu is Igneel's son and Igneel is king it makes Natsu a prince, right? I think so :D And in that cause I don't see a problem why Natsu and Lucy wouldn't be together. HE is a prince and a dragon! 2 in 1, what else is needed? I think nothing :P

And talking about Fairy Tail chapter 334 I'm worried about Gray :( I hope he doesn't die, it would be horrible. I hope that wasn't him, but his ice clone or something. Anyway, I will find out on Firdayand I can't wait.

About my new chapter, what to say? The same as usual :)

Read & enjoy! :D

Chapter 9: Red layer of spell.

Natsu P.O.V

I Heard loud Rush and looked up from my plate to see what happened. I saw Lucy breaking through the wall and landing on the floor crushing couple of furniture, with Mirajane not far from her in her Satan Soul form, charging at unmoving Lucy.

-Mira-nee! – I heard Lisanna call for her older sister from the outside of the building.

I pushed my plate away and sprinted towards Lucy as I heard her agonizing scream of pain.

-Mira, stop it! – I yelled and made a fire wall between the predator and her pray. Soon Erza, Lisanna and Ice Cube joined me against Mirajane, but to our surprise whole guild took Mira's side.

-Step away, Natsu! She tried to hurt Lisanna! – She hissed and attacked me. I fought back, while Erza and Popsicle attacked her. I turned towards Lucy when Lisanna tried to explain the whole incident to Mira and the others.

-Lucy! You okay? Answer me! – I shouted at her. She was lying on the floor with her hands around her neck. It looked like she couldn't breathe. Her eyes were fully opened but unfocused at least she was conscious. I reached forward my hand and grabbed her forearm gently, but when she shouted I retreated immediately. I saw a slight burn on her forearm when I touched her. Dumbfounded I didn't register that Ice Princess approached me.

-What the fuck are you doing Flame head?! – He shouted and reached for Lucy to lay her on her back instead of her side. She screamed again and we saw that where he touched, her skin was frozen. We looked at each other not sure what to do.

-Guys, look up! – Shouted Lisanna but it was too late. Droy's plants wrapped around Lucy's ankles and neck, drawing blood from them and lifting her high in the air, while she continued screaming. To my terror I saw Gajeel jumping up and transforming his right arm into metal pillar and giving Lucy a hard punch into her stomach, sending her back to floor, and forming a small crater near the entrance.

Popsicle took care of Droy while I beat a shit of Gajeel. I was infuriated so beating him was just a matter of minutes.

-Did you all lose your minds bastards?! Shut the fuck up and listen to Lisanna, then you'll all know that she was helping her! – I roared getting everybody's attention.

-Is it true Lisanna? – Asked Mira.

-YES! I tried to tell you that but you all ignored me! – She shouted. – She was healing me!

-You are sick Lisanna-san? – Asked Wendy.

-That's long story. – She said red from anger.

Everyone's eyes fell on Lucy; she was actually trying to crawl out of the guild. Her form was screaming 'STOP! I can't take it anymore!' after few 'steps' she fell to the ground and moved her hands to her neck again.

-Lucy! – Team Natsu sprinted forward to her. Erza grabbed her shoulder, but got a painful groan from the girl and when she recoiled her hand she saw that she left a bleeding cut on her shoulder.

I didn't know what was happening, but ours touches only hurt her and seeing her holding her neck I saw blood flowing from between her fingers and I realized that she couldn't breathe. I acted on instincts, all knowledge I gained about her vanished from my head at this moment, because I was afraid she was going to die. We couldn't touch her and we didn't know what to do to help her. I don't know why but I felt that if I bring her out of the building she will be fine. Not taking longer to think it over, I grabbed a Fairy Tail's tapestry and laid it in front of Lucy head.

-Try and crawl a little on it! - I commanded her, because I knew by her eyes she was conscious. After ten agonizing seconds she reached her one hand out, stained in blood and gripped the material and pushed herself a little, she did it with her other hand as well. When half of her body was on tapestry, I grabbed the other end and pulled her out of the guild. Outside she let out a raspy breath and rolled on her back.

Team Natsu gathered beside her, we were all worried. She was pale, her cuts were bleeding and burned and frozen skin didn't help either. The worst was her slashed throat, but she was healing fast, the cut she got from Erza disappeared within minutes.

-What's this? – Asked someone. We looked at direction of the voice and saw our guild mates standing in front of the door, behind a red layer of… spell?

-It's spell, don't you think so Freed? – Asked Levy.

-Indeed. And I must say a powerful one, but it's against the curser. - Said Freed eyeing the spell.

-What do you mean? – Asked Erza confused.

-That kind of spell usually cause everyone who cross it experience pain, interior and from other people, even if they don't want to. It can be simple touch. But that spell causes only the curser to feel this way. – He explained.

It was weird, spell which works against its curser. From what we saw, Lucy was the curser.

-Did you cast that? – I asked looking down at her.

She mouthed a silent yes.

-For what you did it? Remove it, now! - Shouted Popsicle. I laid my hand on his shoulder to calm him down. Meanwhile Lucy sat up and with much difficulty said:

-No.

Speaking was difficult for her, so she didn't speak this loud again. Instead she stood up facing every of our guild mates while they neared her. But I stood in front of her, shielding Lucy from everyone with flaming hands.

-I dare you to take another step forward. – I growled at hem and watched as they all halted to a stop.

I turned to Lucy and lifted her in my arms, she didn't protest.

-Gray, Erza! Make sure no one will follow us! – I said sending my nakama a glare. Erza and Ice Princess nodded and also glared at them. I felt something patting my chest lightly. I looked down at Lucy and had to strain my hearing to hear her.

-Lisanna… comes…t...too. - She mumbled weakly. I simply nodded at her request.

-Oi, Lisanna! You're coming with us! - I said and she ran to my side as we made our way to my house.

All they way there Lucy was making strange noises. I couldn't tell if she was simply breathing or did she tried to speak. I also didn't know why she asked Lisanna to come as well. I guess she is only being weird. I seated Lucy on my coach, leaving her with Lisanna, while I went to find some medications and first aid kit, just in case.

I heard a surprise gasp and as fast as I could I moved back to my living room. Lisanna sat on the floor with her back towards Lucy, while she, and guess what? Yep, PURIFIED HER!

Did that Creator of ours lost her minds? She was badly injured for Mavis sake! She couldn't breathe properly let alone move around! What a stubborn Creator.

Lisanna had her head bowed down in shame. As if she could change her mind.

-You're weirder than usual. You are barely breathing and instead of concentrate on healing yourself, you are spending your power to heal others! – I snarled at her behavior.

-I'll heal sooner or later; Lisanna in other hand can't heal by herself. – She whispered really softly, but her voice was better than before.

-Your case is much more urgent than hers, ya know? – I asked mockingly, because her behavior wasn't funny or weird anymore, it was absurd! Even for me.

-You couldn't be more wrong. Corruption in Lisanna heart can be activated any time. Who know what kind of disaster it will bring. Beside I don't plan on dying before Day of Wrath. And are you saying that your girlfriend's health is less important than some unfamiliar girl's health? - She said and I was speechless.

I wonder how Aaron deals with her.

Normal P.O.V

After Lucy ended her purification, Lisanna excused herself from Natsu's house to go to guild and explain everything along with Gray and Erza. Natsu and Lucy were left alone.

-I have few questions to ask you. – Said Natsu as he shoved a pile of trashes of his coffee table and sat down on it.

-They call me woman-response. Ask. – She said covering her eyes.

-Why Lisanna wasn't blessed? – That was the first question Natsu asked.

-I hadn't had enough time to bless her. – She responded not looking at him.

-So how long takes you to bless someone? - Natsu asked tiling his head a little.

-Usually month or so. Blessing whole guild took me little more than a year. - She responded uncovering her eyes.

-I see… So will you bless her after purification? – Questioned Dragon slayer.

-I'm adding blessing in my purification, because of that the whole healing is processing faster, and I'll leave you alone as soon as possible to not bother you more. – Lucy answered and winced as her hand touched her throat.

-This will leave a mark. – She mumbled under her nose, but fire mage caught it.

-It wouldn't if you didn't cast that spell. - She growled.

-I had to.

-What for?

-To not come back. – She said and started coughing harshly. Natsu rushed to the kitchen and filled the glass with water and ran back to his living room. He handed Lucy the glass and she nodded thanking him as she gulped everything down in one go. Blonde handed him the glass back and he set it down beside him on the coffee table. Natsu returned his attention to Lucy waiting for her further explanation. When she hadn't start talking, he started.

-I still don't understand.

-I knew that I would try and come back in that form or another. I also knew that wouldn't be good for you all, I would cause more disaster. Also once a fallen loses his Aerie he cannot come back, even if he wants.

-What's Aerie?

-Aerie is something like a paradise or fallen. We're at ease in there; we feel safe, comfortable and loved. When we lost it, its hell for ours existence, even though our bodies crave it.

-So Fairy Tail was your Aerie? - Natsu asked then gulped a huge lump in his throat when she nodded.

-So you can't walk in Fairy Tail without us hurting you?

-You don't even have to touch me. Walking and staying inside Fairy Tail's building in enough to hurt me. – She responded and looked over her body. Next she got up to a sitting position. She rubbed her injured neck and then stood up.

-Let's go back. We have to explain whole incident along with yours team mates to your nakama. – She said and turned to the door, but Natsu's hand on her wrist sopped her.

-Last questions: Why didn't you dodge Mira's attack? Why didn't you protect yourself or attacked back?- He asked looking her deep into eyes, but found nothing after person he used to know.

-I was too catching up in my purification and I didn't notice her. When I did it was too late. I didn't attack back because I couldn't attack innocent human, maybe not directly but you are my creation too, even if you aren't first humans. If I attacked her, it' be like parent hurt his own child. And the reason why I didn't protect myself from her was that I was thrown into the guild and because of the spell I was powerless. – She said calmly answering each of his questions.

Natsu let these information sink into his brain for few moments. He then tugged her towards the door and let go of her wrist.

-Lets' go to the guild. - He said and the two exited Dragneel's house.

For the first time in his life, Natsu wasn't enthusiastic about going to his beloved guild, which was his home.

End of chapter 9.
