I do not own Fairy Tail. That would be Hiro Mashima.

A/N: Like last Chapter this is going to be only in Gray's POV. This is still Gray's Dream

Chapter 4

Gray's POV

It was early morning when I started to head to the Guild. The sun was just starting to rise. It wasn't a long walk from the apartment that I live in to the guild hall. I didn't need to get there early, but I wanted to. I wanted to see if Natsu would want to come with me, Erza, and Lisanna on a mission. I also needed to get Master Makarov's permission for Natsu to come with us as well as allow us to go on a job. I walked into the guild hall. It was empty. I was early, most people wouldn't be up at this time. I just wanted to get the day started while it was still early. I saw that Natsu was asleep on the bar counter. I wonder what he can do. If he was going to join Fairy Tail, a wizard guild, he must be a wizard. I was going to wake him up, but I thought that would be rude, when he opened his eyes. His onyx eyes stared at me. I walked over to the request board. As I walked up to the request board, his eyes never once left me. The way he was watching me was like he was a predator waiting for the kill. It sent chills down my spine. I looked away from Natsu and looked at the jobs on the request board. What would be a good job for us to go on. What would be a good first job for Natsu? I look back at Natsu, only to see that he wasn't at the table. I look around. Where did he go? I turn around and he was behind me. I didn't even hear him come up. He was right in my face. Once more, I had chills go down my spine. I took a step back. Was it really a good idea to bring him with us? He seemed unstable. I was beginning to have second thoughts. I might as well say hi.

"Hello."

He said nothing. All he did was tilt his head to the right ever so slightly. He leaned forward. I took a step and he took a step forward. He backed me against the request board.

"Um. Can I help you?"

I didn't know what he was doing. All I did know was that he was making me uncomfortable. I wanted him to move away from me. He was just staring at me and didn't say anything.

"Natsu!"

I heard Makarov's voice call out Natsu's name. I looked at where his voice came from. He was on the second level of the guild hall. Natsu shifted his head ever so slightly to the sound of his name. His eyes kept on me before leaving to look at the person who called his name. He had turned his head completely to face Makarov. Makarov walked down the stairs to the first-floor and sat at one of the stools at the bar.

"Natsu, come here."

He motioned with his hand for Natsu to come to him. He then looked at me and told me to come over.

"Sorry if Natsu was making you feel uncomfortable. He isn't used to people."

Natsu dipped his head down. I guess he didn't realize that he had been making me uncomfortable. If he isn't used to people, then he must not know how a person would respond to someone being that close to one's face. He was different, I had to admit, but it wasn't his fault that he was out in those woods.

"That is alright. I am just going to look for a job. I am going to on a job with Erza and Lisanna, and we were hoping that Natsu could come with us."

I looked at Natsu. He still had his head dipped down, but his eyes were looking right at me. Makarov thought for a moment. Would he let Natsu come with us? I hope so.

"Sure, why not. If Natsu feels like going on a job with you then be my guest. Once you find a job request come and see me. I will sign off on the mission."

Master Makarov walked away, leaving just me and Natsu. Natsu had watched Makarov walk away. Once he was gone, Natsu lifted his head back up. He walked to be but then hesitated. He opened his mouth to say something but then shut it.

"So, Natsu? Do you feel like coming on a job with us? You can get a feel of what it is like to be out in the field. You can see if you want to become a Fairy Tail wizard. Wait, can you do any magic?"

Natsu said nothing. He nodded his head. I couldn't tell if he was nodding his head that he wanted to come out on a mission with us or if he could do magic. I walked over to the request board once more. Natsu followed me. I guess he wants to come a job with us he has no idea what I am doing. I look at the jobs. They all are different. Then I see a job that looked interesting. We had to find a dark wizard. He has been terrorizing people just for the fun of it. He was also part of a dark guild. It wasn't an S-class, so it should be within our level of capability. I take the flyer off the request board and bring it to Makarov. He looked over the mission. He looked like he was unsure about it. After a moment he signed off on the job.

"Come on Natsu. We must pick up the girls. The one with red hair is Erza and the one with white hair is Lisanna."

I was taking Natsu to the dorm Lisanna and Erza lived at. I was making sure that he would know which one was which. He nodded. He didn't really talk much, I noticed. I guess he was shy. We didn't have to walk far, because we ran into Lisanna and Erza. The each had a small bag.

"Hey, Gray. Did ya pick out a job for us?"

I grinned and then nodded. I handed Erza the paper that had the request on it. Lisanna read over her shoulder. They exchanged a glance at each other. Erza shrugged and Lisanna seemed unsure. They handed the paper back to me.

"Well, we better get going if we don't want to miss the train."

Lisanna said with a smile. Natsu just tilted his head. We walked to the train station and the train had not yet arrived, so we had time to get our tickets and some food. I had offered Natsu something to eat but he didn't take it. He just sat on a bench looking at his scarf. It was a moment later that he looked up and to the right. I looked at where he was looking. I saw nothing.

"Natsu. What are you looking at?"

He said nothing. He kept his head to the right, but his eyes glanced back at me for a moment, before returning his gaze to the right. I looked at Lisanna and Erza and they just shrugged. I wanted him to trust me, so I let him be. Less than a minute went by when the train came to the station. It came to a complete stop and we grabbed our bags to get on. Lisanna was about to get on the train when Natsu grabbed her by the wrist.

"N-Natsu? What are you doing?"

Lisanna stuttered. Lisanna struggled to get out of Natsu's grip. I tried to pull Natsu off Lisanna. He turned to look at me. He starred at me right into my eyes. It wasn't the same look he had given me when he backed me into the request board. It wasn't that look of a hunter. A predator. Instead, he looked nervous. Natsu looked afraid. I thought of reasons why he would be afraid. Then I found one. He has never been on one. He doesn't know that it is safe, and just a way of transportation. He must think that it is a monster and that we were walking into the belly of the beast.

"Natsu, it is alright. This is a train. It is going to get us to our destination faster. It is safe. It isn't dangerous. I promise."

Lisanna was still struggling in Natsu's grip. Natsu looked at her wrist and let go. Lisanna had a red mark on her wrist from where Natsu was holding onto her. Lisanna started to rub her wrist. Natsu looked down at the ground and turned his head. I gave Erza a quick little push toward the train. She got the hint. She walked right onto the train followed by a shaken Lisanna. I went on after Lisanna. Once I went into the train, I turned to Natsu. He was still standing there. He wasn't going to get on the train on his own. I grabbed him and pulled him into the train. After he was on the train, he followed me without a problem. Lisanna and Erza were already seated in a section. I went down and sat across from Erza who was near the window. Lisanna was still rubbing her wrist. Natsu looked at her and backed away. He looked around. He then sat on the seat across from us. He was all by himself curled up against the window of the train car. He clearly was upset about hurting Lisanna. He also had been through a lot in the past Twenty-four hours. We don't know a thing about him, and we thought it was a good idea to bring him on a job. I also felt a little bad. We should have told him something so he would understand somethings. I kept forgetting that he didn't know much about the world. I looked at the others. Erza shrugged. Lisanna frowned and looked over at me and then looked over at Natsu. I think that she doesn't blame him. I think she understands that he didn't know what he was doing.

"Hey, Natsu. Why don't you come over here?"

Lisanna called to him. He looked at her. He tilted his head, as if to say 'why'. He looked at the rest of us and looked down. U was about to say that he could come over when he looked back up at us. He got up the seat he had sat down at and walked over to us slowly. The way he was walking showed that he was upset that he was upset about hurting Lisanna. The way he was walking was slow and with his head down.

"Natsu, I don't blame you. I forgive you."

Lisanna said quickly. He looked up at her. He gave a small smile and sat down right next to me. The train still hadn't left. There were still a few more people coming onto the train. Natsu seemed fine right now, but I couldn't be sure how he would feel about it once it started to moving.

"Natsu, this is a train. It is going to take us to our destination. So, it is going to start moving in a little bit. Understand?"

Natsu looked at me and darted his eyes side to side. He nodded his head side to side before nodding yes. I don't know if he was just nodding yes just because he knew I was looking for that answer. Alright, if he doesn't understand, he will in a little bit. I looked over at Lisanna. She was still rubbing her wrist. The mark on her hand didn't look like it was from a burn. Natsu's eyes followed my eyes. He grabbed his bag from his back. He pulled out something from it. It was some kind of box. He opened the box and inside was a cream of some sort. He took some out and carefully grabbed Lisanna's hand and rubbed it on her wound. She winced but then smiled.

"It doesn't hurt anymore. Thank you Natsu."

He nodded his head with a smile on his face. Lisanna looked to Natsu.

"Um, Natsu? Can you tell us about the Dragon?"

A/N: So, this is chapter four. I finally finished it. I looked at my work of the previous chapters, and noticed that I made some grammar mistakes. I will fix them once this story is done or if I have writers block and want to work on my story still. Anyway, I think that I may have a few more chapters as Gray's Dream/past memories before we continue. I know that chapter five is going to be more of the past and maybe chapter six as well. We shall see. If you have any questions on the story so far, go ahead and PM me or post it in the comments. Keep a look out for Chapter 5.
