BlackLynx17: Because today is 12-12-12 I felt like updating. No other reason... weird right?

I've been going crazy because my friends been making me watch Sword Art Online... it's so sad but amazing at the same time. We were watching it in class today and we got so crazy my friend tried to do a move and ended up hitting her arm against the desk... lol.

Thanks for my reviews!

Never Ending Fairytail

Chapter 10

"She isn't waking up, don't you have some sort of remedy or something?"

"No I don't, we'll just have to wait till she wakes"

"I've already waited last time, what she needs is a little jump start"

Electricity. I heard electricity. Electric... Thunder... Laxus... shock... OUCH!

"DON'T!" I yelled.

Laxus pulled his electric hand away from me.

"Glad to see you awake again Blonde" he smirked.

"Ow" I groaned.

I had a serious headache. Where was I? Laxus is here, where's Natsu though?

"Natsu! Where's Natsu?!" I yelled getting up.

It wasn't working though.

"Not Natsu again, we explained this to you before! Natsu is-"

"Shut it! Do you want her fainting again?!"

Jellal? Jellal!

"Jellal what is this?!" I yelled kicking my feet up.

They were all tied up, along with the rest of my body. I was roped against a tree, it was impossible to reach my keys so I was trapped.

"You need to listen to me, this is just a precaution"

"A precaution?! What do you expect me to do? Kill you?" I asked.

Jellal shrugged.

"I SHOULD SINCE YOU LET NATSU GET CAPTURED!" I yelled.

"I got this" Laxus said.

He dug into his pocket and started walking towards me.

"Laxus? Laxus! What are you - mmph?"

He stuck! A cloth! In my mouth!

"Mmhhp Grrpm mfgjp maxuzds!" I mumbled.

"I think that was-"

"I know what it was" Laxus interrupted walking back to his... crumpled up rock.

I am going to kill you Laxus, I sent death glares towards him. Jellal walked towards me and sat in front of me.

"The sooner you cooperate the sooner I can tell you our plan and let you go" he said.

I took deep breathes through my nostrils but calmed down.

"Now do you remember what we talked about with Zeref before?" he asked.

Zeref, bad, controlled Jellal, created fires, hates me, hates Natsu, hates Fairy Tail. I nodded.

"Now Zeref went to Fracture Hills searching for Natsu. He started the fire but Laxus found him and started fighting him-"

"MMMPH! MMPH!" I mumbled.

Jellal reached for the cloth and took it out my mouth.

"So the lightning strike didn't start the fire?" I asked.

"No, Zeref did" he said before stuffing the cloth back in my mouth.

I'm going to kill you too Jellal, right after Laxus.

"I was walking through town when I saw him. We started fighting but I was no where strong enough so I shot lightning in the sky so a lightning bolt would strike back and re-energize me" Laxus said.

Oh, so that's why the ground rumbled that night. It was because the lighting hit Laxus, and then he ate it like Natsu eats fire for a power up. I started nodding.

"So while Laxus was fighting Zeref, I was searching for you. I was mad to see you didn't run when I told you too so I was going to drag you out but you had to summon that sandstorm scorpion and mess it up! After that I had to waste time trying to find you and once I finally did can you guess what I saw?!" he yelled.

I flinched and shook my head.

"You! Laying on the ground in your own pool of blood just waiting to die and Zeref about to put the finishing blow on Laxus over here! That's not all though, because of you Zeref got what he wanted! He got your mate!" Jellal yelled.

I started crying. I lowered my head as I sobbed. Natsu, Natsu, what is he now? Dead? Alive? An alien? Brainwashed like Laxus? I looked back up and started screaming at Jellal.

HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN?! WHY JELLAL?! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT?!

Jellal tried to walk towards me but I lifted my legs and tried to kick him. He walked away but I kept thrashing around.

NATSU COULD BE DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU! WHY?! WHY?!

Pain. In my lower abdomen. I stopped moving and curled up.

"Shit! She opened her wounds again Jellal, I can smell the blood" Laxus said.

Wounds? I was injured? Jellal cut my binds and laid me down, I could see it now. My shirt was soaked in blood, some dripping down next to me. Natsu's scarf, he'd kill me if I get blood on it. I was side tracked though when Jellal lifted my shirt. It only got worse, I really hoped those were just red colored bandages and not white soaked in blood.

"Damn it, you never could sit still could you?" Jellal asked cutting them open.

A burn. A circle shaped burn mark was on my stomach covered in blood. I wouldn't call it a circle completely but... it was more like when you dip a quill pen and the ink splats on the paper. It looked like a circle but it had sharp edges. It was a burn mark.

"Natsu burned me?" I asked.

He said he'd never burn me. Ever.

"He did it to save your life! Your were bleeding by the bucket full! There was a whole in your stomach if he hadn't burned it closed then you would have died!" Laxus yelled.

I laid my head against the dirt and ignored the pocking and rubbing Jellal was doing on my stomach. I closed my eyes and tried to remember.

Fire.

I opened my eyes again and stared at the sky, it was still morning, mid morning probably. I closed my eyes again taking deep breaths.

Fire. The town, masked man, Lisanna...

"SHE STABBED ME!" I yelled.

Jellal and Laxus jumped because of my outburst. I growled and closed my eyes again.

We escaped with Laxus, he led us to the others then took off, Happy came and we looked for Natsu. Natsu, he was alright. Laxus saved him, he told me to run, AND THAT'S WHEN SHE STABBED ME!

"I was sure I was going to die, I tried to call out to Natsu... I don't think he heard me though" I whispered turning my head.

"He did, he almost ripped Lisanna apart. It wasn't her fault Lucy, Zeref was brainwashing her" Laxus said.

"Like he did with you?" I asked glaring at him.

Laxus glared back.

"She stabbed me, I felt pain after that... a burning sensation. He burned me, but he saved me... what happened after that?" I asked.

"Natsu begged Zeref not to kill you and..."

"He willingly let him in" I finished.

Laxus nodded.

"Natsu screamed out and fell on the ground withering in pain. I went after Zeref but I wasn't enough, that's when Jellal came and did some light tricks and saved us" he said.

"And the others?" I asked.

"He let them live" Jellal said.

I leaned up and glared at him.

"How do you know?!"

He pushed me back down.

"Lisanna was safe since she was useless to him, Natsu's his new host so he's still alive, Zeref probably didn't even notice the cat" Jellal said.

"So he's already in Natsu?" I asked.

All hope was lost? He was going to turn into a bad guy like that? Without me even getting the chance to save him?

"No, from what Laxus said it sounded like he just planted himself into Natsu, well a part of himself"

"So Natsu's alright?!"

"No! He's far from it! Natsu was to pure, to happy, to in love" Jellal said staring into my eyes.

Why did I get a bad feeling?

"Zeref needs hatred and darkness, Natsu was light thanks to you. That ball inside of him is going to warp Natsu, make him darker and corrupt him"

"How?" I asked.

Jellal looked away from me.

"How is he going to corrupt Natsu?!" I asked.

"He's going to erase all his memories of his lightness, of you" Jellal said.

It wasn't enough that Zeref had him, no. He wanted to make sure I'd hurt in every single possible way.

"He'll remember everything but you, when the others start mentioning you the energy ball with cause pain to Natsu teaching him to want nothing to do with you"

"Are you done?" I asked.

"Give me a few more minutes" he answered.

I knew I wasn't strong enough to defeat Zeref, I should be strong enough to get Natsu though. I'll go back for him and bring him with me. We'll run far away from Zeref, from Jellal, from Fairy Tail. It'll just be the two of us until we find Igneel. If Zeref was the histories strongest mage then maybe histories strongest reptile will stand a chance against him.

"Alright" Jellal said.

I stood up and starting walking off. I'll find a trail and make my way to the next town. After I'll figure out where Magnolia is and be reunited with Natsu.

"Where are you going?" Jellal asked.

"Where do you think?" I answered.

Jellal appeared in front of me in a ball of light and pushed me back gently.

"That's just what Zeref wants. Once Natsu see's you then Zeref will know your there and probably come and kill you along with Fairy Tail"

"You don't know that!"

"I do! I was his slave for 10 years! Do you think I don't know how his mind works? Besides he won't remember you"

"You remembered me! That's how you broke free of Zeref, maybe if Natsu see's me then he'll break free"

"You and I shared a special bon-"

"Natsu and I share a special bond also! A sacred bond! I'm his mate!... and he's mine. Let go Jellal"

"You're going to waste your life on the chance that Natsu MIGHT remember you? Face it Lucy, there is nothing left for you in Fairy Tail!"

"What am I suppose to do then?!" I yelled.

I leaned against Jellal's chest and started crying again.

"I don't know what to do, I don't. Fairy Tail's my only home, I have no where else to return too. Natsu, I need Natsu. I need him, I can't just leave him! I won't abandon him! I won't!" I yelled.

"No one's asking you too" Jellal said.

Jellal pushed me away and stared into my eyes.

"There's a way to seal Zeref, not forever but long enough for him to be some else's problem in the future" he said.

Seal Zeref?

"Why not kill the bastard?" Laxus asked.

"He's been around for hundreds of years, if their was a way to kill him then it's long lost by now. This is the next best thing, seal away Zeref"

"How long is somebody else's problem?" I asked.

"Until some dark guild tries to re-summon him, I don't know the possibilities are endless. I do know this though, you no Fairy Tail is in deep trouble. If we don't do this then you can be sure Zeref will go and visit when Natsu's dark enough. And then you know what he'll do? He'll possess his body and kill everyone in Fairy Tail. After that Natsu won't want to fight against Zeref anymore, how could he? He'd have to live with the fact that he's killed his entire family"

"Why is he so evil? Why us? Why Natsu?!" I asked.

"Why is anyone evil? Why do we have magic? I don't know Lucy, I don't know why he picked Natsu"

"Let's take Natsu with us, I'm sure he-"

"He won't! Natsu's not going to remember you unless you take Zeref's control off of him!"

"Then how do we do that Jellal?! That's all I care about!"

"By sealing Zeref!"

"But what if that doesn't work?! What if Zeref still lays dormant in Natsu until he returns?! The risks are too high, I'm not willing to risk it"

"So you'll risk your life for a plan that won't work against a plan that will"

"I can't survive without Natsu, and if I do die then Natsu won't remember me so he'll have nothing to be sad about. Either way it's a win win"

"I'm not going to let you throw your life away for some boy!"

"Now that's enough now children" Laxus said butting in between us.

"Jellal you can't control her, if she wants to leave then she can leave. I'm not saying it's a good idea, more like an idiotic, crazy, insane idea but it's her decision" he said.

"Thanks Laxus, I'm leaving" I said walking away again.

I heard Jellal start mumbling to himself, it didn't concern me anymore though. I'm glad he was alive but Natsu was my top priority at the moment. Maybe I could tell Erza about Zeref and she could go searching with him, I know she'll be happy to hear he survived.

"The boy's Father! The dragon!" Jellal yelled.

I paused and looked over my shoulder.

"If I was able to track the boy's Father then would you come?" he asked.

The boy's Father? Natsu's Father? My hand ran over Natsu's scarf, the white scaled scarf that looked so much like a dragon's skin.

"Igneel?" I asked.

"Igneel! That's what it was, yes! I can find Igneel for you, only if you come with us. Your plan Lucy, it may have worked on me but Zeref knows it now. He'd make sure it wouldn't happen again. I'll swear on my life that my plan will save Natsu. Come with me, I need you Lucy" Jellal said.

I just wanted to see Natsu. That goal blocked everything else away. I could die if I went to see Natsu, my plan might not work. I didn't have a back up one, I'd be signing Fairy Tail's death wishes. I'd kill them if everything didn't go well. Jellal was right but I just missed Natsu so much.

"You can find Igneel?" I asked.

"Yes, I have a spell that can find him" he said.

"What about Natsu?"

"He'll return to Fairy Tail like before he's ever met you"

"And Zeref?"

"He'll rest up until Natsu's corrupted enough"

"How long would that take?"

"I don't know. Maybe a month, maybe a year, maybe tomorrow. If he does though we'll still be able to save him"

So that's it. I would be traveling around the world with Jellal looking for a spell to seal Zeref while everyone in Fairy Tail goes on like the normal?

"It'd be like I was never there, like I never mattered" I said.

"It's better this way Lucy, trust me. You don't want their blood on your hands"

I stared into Jellal's eyes, I remembered something, a past memory of him. Jellal always said he'd never lie to me, he was always trustworthy.

"The deal is that you'll save Natsu, seal Zeref, and find Igneel" I told him.

"And in return you come with me, don't do anything reckless, listen to my every command, and help" Jellal said back.

"I don't know about the every command or helping part but for everything else you have a deal" I said holding my hand out.

Jellal smiled. "Finally you see sense" he said grabbing it.

I was seeing sense, my sense that meant right, that meant love. I hated myself at the moment, I was choosing my life over Natsu's. I was abandoning him in order to save him? No matter what logic, I felt the decision I made was wrong. I only hoped he could forgive me when the time comes, maybe Igneel's whereabouts might be able to help me with that. Sudden another hand slapped over ours, Laxus's.

"Count me in, I want revenge on that snot nosed brat" Laxus said.

So it was going to be the three of us, Jellal, Laxus, and I. I wouldn't call us the perfect team but it would have to do. Natsu where ever you are, I just hope you're safe.

"Come on Happy, fly ahead and check where the road is; check for my scarf also" I said lifting up Lisanna.

The sooner we find a road, the sooner we can get back to Fairy Tail. I regret leaving back the scarf but... Lisanna's life was more important right now. I'd have to come back for it.

"What about Lucy?" Happy asked.

"Who?" I asked.

Happy flew in front of me.

"Lucy, Lu-cy" he repeated.

"Stop playing around Happy this is serious business" I said.

Happy's tail slapped me. He span around in a circle and let his tail slap me in the face.

"What is with you?! Lucy's missing! Lucy! Your Lucy! Your Princess! Your Wife! Your Mate!" Happy yelled.

Princess? Wife?... Mate? Wasn't Lisanna my mate though? Lucy... Lucy...

"Natsu?"

Lisanna! I looked behind my back, Lisanna started scrunching up her face.

"Lisanna? Lisanna are you awake?" I asked.

"Natsu, Lucy, run" she said.

Lucy? Why is she saying that name to? I kneeled down and let Lisanna sit on the ground. Her hands reached up and clutched her head.

"My head hurts" she mumbled.

"It's alright, I'm so happy your alive Lisanna" I said hugging her.

Lisanna froze under my touch.

"Natsu?... What are you doing?" she asked.

I pulled away and looked questionable at her.

"Hugging you" I answered.

"What about Lucy?" she asked.

"Who's this Lucy? Was she the person who hurt you?!" I yelled.

Was that why everyone's been mentioning her? I bet she was the one who took my scarf too!

"Lucy! She's Lucy! Your girlfriend!" Lisanna yelled.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" I yelled.

"He doesn't remember her Lisanna, he doesn't remember" Happy said launching himself at her.

Hey! She's my mate Happy!... well he is a cat, not much competition.

"Maybe he hit his head or something, Natsu what's the last thing you remember?" Lisanna asked.

"Fighting Erza? Isn't that the reason I woke up with this huge headache? Where was Erza by the way?" I asked looking around.

"What about Laxus?" she asked.

My eyes darkened.

"Why are you bringing up him? He tried to destroy the guild, he's a traitor" I said.

Traitor, Laxus was bad. He tried to hurt the others, he tried to harm my family.

Cling to the hatred Natsu.

What was that?

"You're different" Lisanna whispered.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" I asked.

She shook her head.

"Let's just get back to the guild, then maybe we can figure out what's happening" Lisanna said.

"What about Lucy?! She's-"

Lisanna covered Happy's mouth.

"She'll be alright, I'm sure. We don't know if where she is though right now, Master will help us when we get back" she whispered.

Did she whisper it so I wouldn't hear? Who is this Lucy person?

"Alright, back home... hey where's your scarf?" she asked.

"Lu-..." Happy went quite.

"Missing. I couldn't find it anywhere, but your more important at the moment. Anyways that sounds like a plan, Happy go search for a road" I said.

"Aye, sir" he said flying up.

Strange, he wasn't as energetic as he usually was. I fell in step with Lisanna and closed the gap between us.

"Um Natsu?" Lisanna asked.

"Yes?"

"Why's my hand covered in dry blood?" she asked raising it.

I shrugged. "Beats me, I'll tell Happy to search for a river also so you can wash up" I said.

"I can't remember why... I want to cry though" she said.

I looked at her and saw Lisanna crying as she stared at her arm. I pulled her against me and hugged her close. Tears didn't suit Lisanna, I didn't like it when she cries. Lisanna lightly pushed away from me.

"Don't Natsu, I'll be okay" she sniffed.

I don't get it? I lifted her hand and sniffed the blood. It wasn't from a comrade of ours, it didn't smell familiar. It just smelt like blood, salt and rust.

"Natsu?" Lisanna asked surprised.

"What?" I asked.

She lifted her hand and brushed it against my cheek. When she pulled back she showed me a tear on her finger. Tear? But I wasn't crying? I lifted my hand and wiped my face. I was, why though?

Your never going to escape Natsu, I won't let you go so easily.

BlackLynx17: Just incase any of you were wondering, what Lucy said with the cloth in her mouth was I hate you Laxus. Review please!
