Chapter 10

I woke up with a massive headache. I went to move my left arm but a piercing pain went up my spine. I winced at the pain and then looked down only to be surprised by pink hair. Natsu was laying on my stomach with an arm around my waist, holding me close to him. He must have fallen asleep. I then saw my left arm in a cast. I moved my right hand to my head and I had a bandage around it. My hair was under and on top of the bandage. I then moved my hand to Natsu's head. I slowly rubbed his head. His hair was soft and my fingers went through it easily. I moved and his arm tightened around me. Guess getting up isn't an option. What happened? Last thing I remember… was getting out of the shower… memories came back and I remember the man. His face… he had a scar on his left eye and he had long, curly brown hair. He was strong. Wait. He trashed the room. I quickly lifted my head up and looked around. This isn't the room I was in. This isn't my room. There was a desk in the far left corner of the room with a wooden chair. Book shelves with many books. Many of them were fantasy and fairytales. The original Cinderella and little red riding hood. Shakespeare and many others. There was two doors. One was in the right corner of the room and the other was in between two bookshelves to the left. There was three windows. One on both sides of the bed and one at the desk. I looked down at the bed. It was a king size bed and we were not even taking up half of it. I froze when Natsu's head moved. He slowly got up. My neck was getting sore from looking around so I laid my head back down on the pillow. He then looked down at me.

"How do you feel?" He asked. I tried to shrug my shoulders but pain went up my left arm when I moved it. I winced.

"Just peachy." I said sarcastically through the pain. I tried to get up but my arm hurt every time I moved. I winced again and Natsu immediately put an arm behind me.

"Careful Lucy. Let me help you." He said. He helped me sit up and I got a better view of the room. It was bigger than I thought. There was a table and two chairs in the center of the room I couldn't see because of Natsu's big head. There was also a door directly behind them. The room was painted a cream colour but it looked orangey red in the sunset light.

"I'm sorry." He said as he looked away. I looked at him in confusion.

"For what? You didn't do anything." I said as I leaned my head against the wall. I was dizzy and my stomach started to hurt.

"Exactly!" He said as he stood up in anger.

"I didn't do anything and you needed help! That Bastard! He snuck in and I thought about waiting in your room for you too!" He said as he walked back and forth.

"Natsu, there was nothing you co-"

"I could have been there! I shouldn't have left you alone! I know somethings wrong but you won't tell me! No one will tell me and I'm mad that I couldn't protect you when I promised I would so many years ago." He said as he sat down on the ground beside me angry, leaning on the bed frame and putting his face in his hands. I didn't know what he was talking about.

"I promised and I couldn't do it." He said again into hands. Then I remember that one day. The last day we saw each other. My dad had my arm and was pulling me angrily.

"Daddy! Your hurting me!" I said but he just kept yanking my arm. I had reached out to Natsu hoping he would help me. He ran up to my dad and stepped on his foot. He immediately let go in pain and glared at us as he held his foot.

"You can't hurt her." Natsu said as he stood in between us. His father and mother walked into the room shortly after.

"Natsu. Stop this immediately." His father said

"No! He was hurting Lucy!" He yelled back.

"Natsu. Lucy has to go home." His mom said. Natsu looked back at me and I remember he had grabbed my hands after wiping away my tears.

"I will protect you when I'm older. The next time you come I'll show you. You'll see." He said as my father yanked me away. I nodded and then turned back towards my dad.

"Natsu. That was so long ago. Don't feel guilty please. You couldn't have done anything. You didn't know. If I yelled for help… this wouldn't have happened. This is my fault, not yours." I said and felt tears run down my face again. I closed my eyes trying to stop them but it didn't work. Then I felt warm, soft hands on my face, he had wiped away my tears once again. He then grabbed my hand with both of his.

"I'll protect you from now on. I promise. You'll see." He said. I smiled at him. He hasn't changed. Then I thought back to the memory.

"Natsu… where's your mother?" I slowly asked, picking my words wisely. Natsu looked at the ground.

"She… she passed away…" he said slowly. I gasped.

"Oh Natsu. I'm so sorry." I said as I felt tears in my eyes. She was like a second mother to me.

"It's not your fault. She passed away a couple years ago." He said as he looked at the ground.

"But she would be happy you came. So you don't need to be sad. She told us not to cry." He said. Natsu was strange. My mother told me to be happy… and I couldn't. It got quite but then he moved, breaking the silence.

"We thought you went into a coma." He said. It could have been one. I could hear everyone around me after a bit. I could have passed out but still be conscious of my surroundings and sounds. The ringing was still there at the back of my head. I felt throbbing pain from the back of my head. I remember Natsu talking. Someone told him that he had to leave and he said he would be back.

"What happened to you?" He asked, snapping me out of thought. I thought back to exactly what happened.

"Well. When I got out of the shower, I heard my bedroom door open. I grabbed the curtain rod as a weapon and then-" I stopped when I remembered the water running.

"Did you turn off the water! Oh no! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to-" Natsu cut me off.

"It's ok. We turned it off." I gave a breath of relief.

"Oh thank god. I used it for noise. When he walked, it slowed him down when he thought I was hiding under the curtains." I explained.

"How did that Bastard hurt you?" He asked. I thought back.

"He had a whip with him. He threw it and it wrapped around my arm, then he pulled on it and it broke my arm." I explained as I gestured towards my broken arm.

"I also fell and bashed my head against the footboard of the bed and then he bashed it against it a second time." I said and then I thought about why he was here.

"My bag! My knapsack! Where is it!" I panicked. Natsu got up and grabbed it from in front of the bed. He handed it to me and I quickly opened it. The watch was still here.

"What? What's wrong?" Natsu asked in a worried tone.

"He was after this." I said as I held up the watch.

"Why?" He asked. I wish I could answer that question myself.

"I honestly don't know." I said.

"It's just a watch." He said in confusion. When I looked back down at the watch I noticed my clothes had changed. I was wearing a blue night gown with gold stitching and white linings. Then I looked at Natsu. I never actually looked at what he was wearing until now. He was wearing a black vest and shorts with gold stitching as well. He had a white under shirt. He was also wearing a white scarf with black stitching. I looked back down at my clothes again.

"How did…" I thought and then slowly turned to look at Natsu.

"How did what?" He asked.

"My clothes. Did you-"

"No. I'm not a pervert like ice for brains. Erza did it." He said. Erza? I thought she said she wanted to go into combat with Levy and Gray…

"Erza? You mean redhead Erza? Erza who wanted to go into combat Erza?" He smiled at my confusion.

"Ya. The one any one." He said as I placed the watch on the nightstand to my left.

"After you left she decided to stick around. Said something about how the ice Bastard and I get into to many fights." He said as he crossed his arms but I couldn't help but feel like it was my fault.

"A lot of people stuck around. Everyone who left still sends postcards every once in a while." He was talking about who left the castle. Everyone was friends growing up. We all had our duties and worked hard to get them all right and we had fun with a lot of them. wanted Natsu to grow up with his servants and become friends with them so he let a lot of the kids at the adoption centre move in. They were like family. He is not strict because he knows everyone will push each other to do better. That's what so great about all my friends. also let the kids go on there own path. He let everyone pick the jobs they wanted to do and if they ever felt like doing something else with there life he let them. Master Makarov named us the Fairy Tail group because we were all so adventurous, creative, and we had a big imagination.

"Actually, we have a new doctor. Wendy. She moved into the castle about three… four years ago I think. She patched up your arm and head." He said and I looked down. She did a great job.

"Is there any possibility that she has any pain killers?" I asked as the throbbing got worse.

"I'll ask someone to send her up." He said as he stood up.

"I should go set up my stuff downstairs too." He said as he started to walk away but I grabbed his hand. I remember all those nights I spent alone in the dark in my big room.

"Please… don't leave." I pleaded as I looked down. I could feel tears in my eyes. I don't want to be alone anymore. I could feel him walk closer to me again.

"If you really want me to stay, then I won't go." He said. I felt relief when he said that. I thought he would go. I looked up at him with tears rolling down my face.

"Thank you." I said.

Writer's note:

If the story ever says Blue that is most likely were I wrote Plue but my google docs turned it into Blue also,

instead of writing sky I end up writing skye because of my sister. That's her name, thats why. I do apologize for any further typos.

I do not have an editor so I am alone on this. If anyone wants to be a Batta Editor for me, PM me. I can discuss further details with you.
