So, treesofsakuras got one of them correct, the girl in the beginning was Mavis, and the ending was half right, so you get another request X) since I' working on the Natsu/Mirajane story (by the way could you send me what kind of stuff you want? General fluff, what their age will be -current or young- stuff like that?)
Sorry but I'm going to torture you guys with an Iris chapter, it's long overdue anyway.
But since I seem to type these up quickly, you won't have to wait long!
Oh and by the way I'm working on a Hetalia fanfiction, for you Hetalia watchers
Ok continue on!

Iris didn't know when she was finally able to stop screaming, but when she did she spat out a mouthful of blood. The back of her throat was raw, and she couldn't feel her neck, the nerves had to be burned off. She panted as she laid on the floor of her cell, flinching at every inhale and exhale as it brought another wave of pain to course through her already beaten body. She thought she could her someone yelling, but that had to be her imagination. Even though she was in great pain, no tears would fall, which was a good thing. But, it could also be because she couldn't feel anything anymore, her neck was numb, and she could barely twitch her fingertips. Breathing took more effort than it should. She was grateful for the darkness for once, if it had been light, she wouldn't be able to handle it.
She was grateful as black began to cloud her vision, her exhaustion dragging her into the depths of her mind.
"Igneel I found some nuts! we can eat these right!" A young girl with red-pink hair asked, shoving her hands toward the red dragon's snout. A chuckle rumbled from deep in his chest.
"Yes young one, Natsu found some berries, and I got our meat," The dragon replied, motioning his large head towards the dead deer, that was lying near the edge of the treeline to their small clearing.
"Hey, Hey Igneel! Can I try to start the fire! Pleeeeeeeease!" The pink hair boy asked, scrambling over to look hopefully into the dragons' large red-black eyes.
"Natsu-nii! You almost set the forest on fire last time!" The girl scolded, her small four-year-old voice as stern as she could make it.
"I promise I'll be careful! Please Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease.. ." He began chanting, making the girl clap her hands over her ears and howl.
"Make him shut up!" She whined, looking at Igneel, as the younger boy continued chanting.
"Alright Natsu, but-" a noise in the thicket distracted the red dragon from contining. The three of them fell silent, as silent as a three ton dragon and two hyper-active dragon slayers could be. The noise increased and Igneel shot his neck forward, but a black clothed figure dodged the blow, darting from the thicket and running for Natsu and Iris.
"RUN!" Igneel roared at them, now being attacked by multiple black-clothed figures. The two children picked themselves up and began sprinting nto the surrounding forest
Iris, we should help Igneel
Natsu we can't, if we blindly rush into things we'll -
But we shouldn't just leave him!
NATSU! BEHIND YOU!
The pink hair boy whipped around, sliding backwards to a stop, Iris watched from the shadows as a figure threw knives at Natsu, which he skillfully dodged, and retalitated by running forward with his fist lit on fire. He promptly got hit down by the mage though, whe began mumbling a binding incantatin.
Iris readied her self, then jumped out from behind her cover
"fire dragon..."
the figure twisted around toward her, the spell beginning to restrict her movements,
"ROAR!"
A bllast of fire shot out of her mouth and toward the figure, whose eyes, the only visible skin, widened as he caught the full brunt of the attack.
Natsu, we've got to keep running
...Ok, Igneel can take care of this
The two of them began running again, darting easily through the underbrush and in-between trees. Although they could hear pounding footsteps behind them, so they split apart, relying on the bond formed between them.
Natsu go left!
Jump onto that branch Iris!
They gave each other commands, teamwork impeccable when it came down to the wire. Natsu had dosged a magic reinforced arrow while the daggers meant to kill Iris thunked harmlessly into a tree. They could also hear their guardian fighting whoever these people were, roars and blasts of heat a mojority of indication.
Then they rammed into each other. They hadn't been paying enough attention, and their bond had lead them together.
"Natsu!"
"IRIS!"
They yelled, but before they could scold each other a figure ran up from behind each of them and picked them up, beginning to run.
Damnit Fight Using everything ya got Iris
Same goes for you Natsu, we'll eet at the regular pl-
Irises thought got cut off as shegot slammed into a tree, the figure holding a needle up to her neck, then digging under her foraged clothes to stab it into the exposed skin.
IRIS!? IRI-
Natsu got slammed into a tree as well, but he got over the shock faster.
"Fire dragon IRON FIST!" He yelled, punching the guy in the nose. He was quickly dropped and he used that oppurtunity to begin running but...something was off-Iris jerked awake as she heard the metal door opening, but she groaned in pain as her neck was lifted off of the ground. SHe kept her eyes clenched shut even as dark metal-studded boots walked next to her head.
"What do you want," She rasped, her voice cracking and was almost inaudible. Gajeel didn't say anything, he crouched down next to her, and she felt light pressure against the metal collar. Her breathing went ragged as the metal chafed against the burn, blood beginning to flow from broken skin.. Gajeel cursed and backed off.
"I can't get it off," He mumbled, a hint of awkwardness in his voice. He then brushed his fingers against her face, rough skin making her flinch slightly, even though the touch as soothing.
"Listen," his rough voice grated," I brought you some damn medicine, and I was hopng that I could get the damned thing off of your neck but I can't, so just drink this and it'll help you heal," she felt a cold bowl being placed in her hand.
"Um I can't-really...move my head," She mutters, coughing slightly.
"goddamnit..." Gajeel mutters..then gently slides his hand underneath her head.
"If yo don't drink this you won't heal and I don't have long," He mutters to himself, and she feels the cold rim of the bowl being pressed against her lips.
The concoction was foul and sour, but it helped sooth the burn, and made her a little sleepy...her thoughts began to trai; off as her eyes drifted shut.
"-ank's" She was able to choke out before falling asleep once again.
Gajeel looked down at the sleeping girl, scowl on his face as she fell asleep. He still didn't know why he helped her, it must be that stupid metal thing around her neck. He winced as he rubbed at his own burn around his neck, although not as severe as hers. Foosteps distracted him from his thoughts, he trned around and panic alit his eyes.
The purple clothed demon was glaring at him from under the brim of his purple hat.
