Chapter 13

...Dragon Slayer Oath...

We all stayed in the dining hall talking about how Sting and Rogue caught the man. From the sounds of it, there not any ordinary princes'. They were both adopted and trained to fight from a very young age. They seem much more proper than Natsu and the one brother, with dark hair, talks as if every sentence has a meaning. They were both very different but worked together on everything, almost like they needed each other. One couldn't decide on a task without the other. They probably grew up with only each other… almost like me… but I only had myself.

As they talked I found myself thinking about other things. I couldn't focus on there words. All I could think about was the man. He said "They're coming…" who's coming? My- "He" shouldn't know where I am. Not yet… but the man also said that "He" sent him… so he does know… if the man didn't get back to him… he'll definitely know something is wrong…

"Natsu." We all turned to see walking to us.

"Since Sting and Rogue are here, why don't you go to the meeting you had planned with them." He said. I turned to look at Natsu.

"A meeting? Look at you calling all the shots." I teased but he's face turned a bit sad as he shook his head.

"No it's for some festive preparation here in the kingdom… the…" He stopped to think.

"The Flower festival?" Rogue slowly said and I watched as Sting smacked his face in disappointment and people sighed.

"Natsu. You better get your act together." said in annoyance as he walked closer to Natsu.

"You forget. This will soon be your kingdom. Your eighteen for crying out loud. Grow up." He said and I could feel Natsu tense up. I didn't realize I was still holding his arm.

"Ya… ok." He said as he stuffed his hands into his pockets. I looked up at him and he was looking at the ground. He then turned to walk out the doors with Sting and Rogue. I let go and went to follow him but I felt a hand on my shoulder and stopped. I turned to see Erza standing behind me. I then looked back at Natsu and he had stopped to look back at me.

"This is a confidential matter Natsu." Erza said with eyes closed and as she crossed her arms.

"I know that." He said but I could feel the pain in his voice.

"But I promised to pro-"

"Protect? Isn't that what the guards are for?" Erza cut Natsu off as she gestured to the guards. I watch as his face turned from annoyance to anger.

"It's ok Natsu. I'll stay with everyone until you get back." I forced a smile but I could tell he wasn't happy. His face went expressionless as he turned around. I watched as he walked out of the room. As the door closed, he took one glance back before the door fully closed. I felt this feeling of loneliness once again, but I didn't know why. I had many people that I cared for with me… no this was different from loneliness...

"I think you two need a brake for a bit." She said, snapping me out of thought. A brake? But I just got here...

"Hey I know!" I turned around to see Wendy looking very excited.

"Let's go see the others!" She said excited. Grey's face lit up a bit with a small smile.

"Yea. That ain't such a bad idea." He said as he looked up at me with his normal stance and crossed arms.

"Yes! Let's go see the others!" Erza said with a big smile. I slowly forced a smiled but as I looked over to Gem and Ni I could tell they knew it was fake. They walked beside me as we all walked down long hallways and stairways. We past many rooms, most witch where unfamiliar to me. I would have gotten lost in this place by now if it weren't for everyone who was with me. I only grew up in a small part of the castle, but most of those memories were gone, or taken over by sad depressing ones of my past. We turned a corner and walked into a huge room filled with people. I hadn't seen so many people in one place for so long… it was… almost overwhelming. I smiled shyly at everyone.

"Lucy!" Everyone said as they came up to me. Cana, Julia, Alzack, and Bisca weren't ever scratching the surface. Fairy Tail was as lively as ever! Many people stayed in there seats but I was so happy, tears filled my eyes.

"Guys… I'm so happy!" I said with a smile.

...

Natsu's P.O.V.

"It's ok Natsu. I'll stay with everyone until you get back." Lucy said. She forced a small smile. She didn't want to leave my side… I didn't really want to leave hers ether … but I wasn't about to start arguing around my father. I promised mom I wouldn't argue with him. I slowly turned around and stared at the ground. As the door closed I turned to see Lucy, saddened.

"So Natsu. What's up with that Lucy chick?" Sting asked as we walked.

"What?" I looked at him in confusion.

"Yes. You seem to be very attached to her." I looked at Rogue in confusion.

"Is that what it's called?" I asked as I thought. I could feel stares from behind me and I slowly turned my head only to be greeted by creepy grinning faces.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" I yelled in confusion and horror as I turned around to look at them completely.

"Natsu. Do you have feelings for this girl?" Rogue asked. I looked at him in confusion.

"Feelings? Like… happy… sad… mad? I don't understand how you put a feeling on a perso-"

"Do you like the girl!" Sting said in annoyance.

"What? Of course I like Lucy. Why else would I worry for her? She's my friend. I can't just not-"

"WE MEAN LOVE NATSU!" They yelled in unison and I jumped in surprise.

"WHY WOULD YOU ASK ME THAT!?" I yelled back.

"BECAUSE YOU KEPT AVOIDING THE QUESTION!" Sting yelled back at me.

"I WASN'T AVOIDING THE QUESTION!" I yelled as I threw my hands in the air.

"Then What?! Are you just that stupid?!" Sting said in annoyance.

"Ok, ok. That's enough you two." Rogue quickly said.

"You were yelling too!" I said in annoyance

"I was not. I was simply informing you in an annoyed but loud tone." He said defensively.

"Natsu!" I heard from down the hall and I quickly grabbed the brothers arms and pulled them towards our room.

…

"So you don't want to be in the festival now?!" Sting asked in surprise and annoyance. I rubbed the back of my head as I walked around in circles and stared up at the ceiling.

"Well… Umm… ya." I said as I turned a set around and sat backwards in it. The room was very long with a long wooden table in the sender, surrounded by wooden chairs that matched in colour. There was one window at the far side of the room and the door to the hallway was right behind me.

"Natsu… this is a Dragon Slayer oath. You were trusted with a task by your father and many other kingdoms." Rogue said as it sounded like he tried to understand what I was saying. I crossed my arms on the back of the chair and my head rested on them.

"It's a great honour to be in and to hold this flower festival." Sting said as he looked in my direction.

"The Magic Council specially picked us and your kingdom out of many others." They kept forcing this duty on me. A duty I didn't choose to do and nore did I want to do. All we had to do was ride a flote through the river that ran through the city and wave at people. A Dragon Slayer oath… only a select few of people in the whole world where considered dragon slayers… all who were mostly part of royal families or once used to be part of one. Going back in history… our fathers before us, supposedly, killed dragons. Every kingdom stands for a person who received a gift from a dragon. Some kingdoms have more than one gift, meaning they had the possibility of having more than one kingdom in the future. My father gave me this white scarf that magically gave me the power to become a kingdom aire. Sting and Rogue both have an item, which means Rogue can go off on his own and have his own kingdom. I heard Gajeel has one but he was never given a kingdom and Wendy randomly showed up one day from a kingdom that was long gone. Neither of them know much about their pasts but my father said he would always help them if they wanted a kingdom.

"Is this because of that girl?" Rogue said, snapping me out of thought.

"What? N-No!" I stuttered in annoyance. I could feel my face get red and I buried my face into my arms.

"I just don't want to do this. "I said in frustration.

"I don't understand why I was chosen. I don't want to be apart of something I don't understand. Why did they chose use? If we are randomly chosen then this isn't such a special festival after all because we could be randomly selected for anything." I said as I thought back to the letter we received from the Council. I wasn't thrilled. I have better things to do. I was busy training when I got the letter and now I must protect Lucy.

"Can't I just give this job to someone else?" I asked. Sting slammed his hand down on the table.

"Natsu. You are doing this either you like it or not. You can't pown off your duty to someone like it's nothing? Is that what your going to do when you rule the kingdom?" I snapped my head up to stare at him. I slowly got up and turned to the door. I opened it and stared at the ground as I turned my head to my side slightly.

"Don't tell me how to run my life." I said as I slammed the door and stormed down the hallway.

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.
