Chapter 11: Meet Layla

"Let Go!"
Natsu shouted as he was being dragged out of his house by Erza.
"No! All you have to do is fight someone and then if you're not satisfied you can leave!"
She tightened her grip on his shirt and kept walking without looking back. They walked a good 5 minutes until they stopped because of Natsu. He dug his nail into the ground crushing every rock he came in contact with. Erza grabbed his hair, pulling him off the ground, and on a chair.
"What the hell is your problem!? You haven't been to the guild for a quite a while now and now you don't even want to fight!"
Erza shouted catching the attention of many people. Natsu put a hand on Erza's arm that was still attached to his hair and squeezed it sending a surge of pain through her body.
"Leave..."
He sneered. He tightened his grip on her arm making Erza flinch in pain. His hair was now covering his eyes making everyone stop to watch.
"NASTU YO-"
She was cut of when he looked up locking his gaze on her. She took a step back losing complete connection to his hair. Standing up from the chair he growled.
"It's not a good day for me so I suggest you leave me alone unless you want to cause a problem."
Her hand trembled as he let go. She looked up to find him walking away. She opened her mouth without noticing.
"Natsu,WAIT!"
She shouted without thinking. Natsu stopped for a while,but decided to leave. Erza panicked. There was no other way to stop him unless...
"What if the person you have to fight know's Lucy's location?!"
Natsu immediately stopped and glared back at her. His hands drew flames and he growled. He hated when Lucy's name was brought up carelessly.
"What are you talking about?!"
His voice was low,but had a curious tone in it. She looked at him and frowned.
"The person you have been chosen to fight with know's about Lucy's well-being."
Natsu looked at her with hatred,but had a glint of trust. She quickly turned away from him to hide her guilty expression. She frowned and walked away.
"Wait..."
She turned around expecting Natsu to be walking towards her but only found herself face-to-face with him.
"I find out you are lying to me I will rip you to shred's..."
Every single word drew venom. His eyes showing her own death in just a few seconds. Erza laughed nervously. In those two years Natsu became in S-class mage making him a vicious person. Her blood drained from her face as she felt her knees go weak. Before she could protest he was already gone. She fell to her knees trembling. She smiled to herself thinking she was never getting out of this one.

Later at the Guild..

"OK you brats you know whats happening so let's get on with it!"
The master shouted trying to get the attention of the guild. Everyone was crowded around him. Gildarts,Mirajane,Erza,Laxus,and Natsu all stood beside him. After everyone got quite he looked at them and smiled.
"Shall we meet your opponent?"
The master turned toward the guild members and nodded. They separated revealing a young girl who looked about 14-16 years old.
She had long,black silky hair that reached below her waist. Her eyes were honey colored, and her lips were plump and pink. She wore a plain red t-shirt with white shorts.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Layla."
She smiled catching Natsu's attention. She looked at her opponents and walked towards them.
"I'm looking forwards to fighting y'all especially Salamander."
Layla looked at Natsu and smirked.
"That is if he isn't scared."
His head turned towards her and he growled.
"What did you say, shorty."
His eyes piercing her with a glare.
"You heard me, chicken."
They were now face-to-face with each other with a deadly aura around them.

Mira stared at the young girl while everyone slowly backed away from them .She was so familiar. Her thoughts were interrupted when an explosion blew her hair back.
"What happened?!"
She yelled at Laxus who was next to her.
"Natsu hit Layla!"
Mira's eyes widened in shock. She turned toward the master who was laughing.
"Master why are you laughing this is serious!"
The master looked at her and smiled.
"I know Natsu is in big trouble."
He turned toward the smoke that wasn't cleared out yet.
"What do you mean?.."
She looked back at the smoke as the master laughed again.
"Layla is a Dragon Slayer"
