CHAPTER 11

"Eyrx!" Natsu yelled, jumping in front of me, in front of the flames. He was going to eat them. Whoever this man was he was going to regret meeting us. His flames were about to dissapear.

When the flames reached him, Natsu yelled in pain. The flames disappeared though not by Natsu eating them.

"Natsu!" I yelled.

The mysterious man, let out a laugh.

"Water Dragon's roar!" I yelled. The man easily dodged it.

"Ha! You miserable little Dragon Slayers, think you can win! I am a God Slayer!" The man yelled.

"God Slayer? What the hell is that?" Natsu asked.

"A more powerful person then you!" The man snapped back.

"If you use fire, why can't I eat your flames?" Natsu asked, back agitated.

Natsu and I both charged the mysterious man, water and fire colliding. That set him back a biting both of out attacks it separated Natsu and I. The man smiled and released a burst of purple flame, hurling towards me.

"Tidal Force!" I yelled, the water hitting the flames. To my suprise the water evaporated as it touch the flames, I moved out of the way though not fast enough the flames scorching my side, part of my shirt burning off.

I yelled in pain, falling to the ground. The flames were hot and painful, making my vision go blurry in pain. I barely heard Natsu yell my name. I managed to rise to my feet. My side burning with pain. The fire came again, this time it engulfed my entire body, my screams hoarse from the pain. It was worse then the torture Riviori had ever given me. My vision began to have black spots. I fell to my knees. I barely saw Natsu engage with the man, until he fell of the cliff edge.

"Natsu..." I muttered my voice hoarse from pain.

The man had a wicked smile on his face, as he dragged me by my shirt collar across the dirt ground, my voice to hoarse to yell in pain. He stopped by the cliff edge, the bottom fifty feet below, Natsu struggled to his feet.

"Missing something?" The man asked.

No he wouldn't... I thought but he did, he threw me off the cliff, I felt my body go weightless, Natsu yelled my name, and before I was going to hit the ground he caught me. We fell to the ground , the pain unbearable.

Natsu gently rolled me off him, kneeling next to me.

"Hold on please, I'll help you soon." Natsu muttered to me, his voice filled with worry, he kissed me on the forehead and stood up, looking around the corner.

"Master?" Natsu said. I turned my head ignoring the pain and saw Master on the ground in the sane state as I, in pain.

"Go, Natsu deal with the Ten Kin, Grimoire Heart is here." Master orders his voice firm.

So that is who was attacking the island.

"Master, how did you end up like this?" Natsu asked.

"I tried to destroy their flagship. Now go away from Zancrow." Master responded.

Grimoire Heart, fear joined the pain in my body. And now we know who our attacker is.

Zancrow let out a laugh:"You three look awful! How easy!"

"YOU DID THIS! YOU HURT THE LOVE OF MY LIFE! AND MY GUILD!" Natsu yelled, and charged Zancrow with a renewed intrest.

Though Zancrow let his purple flames engulf Natsu, who was defenseless against. I watched the fight unfold with bated breath.

To stop Zancrow, Makarov seized him with his giant hand, though he began to burn. All three of them were close to death.

Natsu fell first, still engulfed in the flames, his flames winked out.

"Natsu...no.." I muttered my voice hoarse, then something happened.

Natsu began to eat Zancrow's flames. Then all hell broke loose. Natsu unleashed his new power on Zancrow in a brilliant white flash, Zancrow screamed in pain. Soon they fell silent he went into unconsciousness.

Natsu struggled over to me, laying down next to me, he placed my head on his chest. He too fell into unconsciousness.

"Master, are you still hanging in there?" I asked, the pain still a strong presence.

No answer..

In a few minutes, the silence was broken, by footsteps.

"Eyrx!" I hear Wendy yell, I glanced over to see her running over to me, the Exeeds fooling her. "I can heal you." She said as kneeled by me.

"No... Heal Natsu first.." I muttered through the pain.

She nodded and began her spell on Natsu. Fozana approached me, her green eyes filled with sadness.

"It will be fine Eyrx." She said, in a motherly voice.

I felt Natsu move beneath me, he kissed the top of my head. "You should have hearted him first, Wendyaid, his voice a little gruff.

Wendy nodded and began to heal me. It was more painful then I expected, I clenched my teeth to bear the pain. Then I let out a yell of pain, I felt Natsu grab my hand.

"Why is it hurting him?" Natsu asked, his voice full of concern.

"I don't know, maybe the flames burned him really deep." Wendy responsed, concentrating hard on her task.

Eventually the pain subsided and was gone. The burn marks gone. I sat up and got my breath back. I glanced over to see Makarov still unconsciousness.

"Wendy can you heal him?" I asked.

"I think so," She answered with determination.

I sat with Natsu as Wendy healed Makarov. Natsu rubbed my head.

"I thought I lost you." He whispered in my ear.

I smiled at him, "So do you really mean it? I'm the love of your life?" I asked.

"Of course! Who else would it be?" He said, kissing me hard.

"Natsu, if anything happens, I always will love you." I said in a serous voice.

"Don't talk like that." He responded, kissing me again.

I wondered what Grimoire Heart had in store for us next...
