Dragons of protection
Wow! So many favourites and follows! Thank you guys! I really appreciate this. I will try making each chapter larger and larger. I hate cliffhangers but I just had to make some in this story and it was quite funny. I know, I am evil ^^. Enjoy the third chapter.

Chapter 2: Of fire and iron
In Magnolia:
Akari's POV:
I approached him and tried saying hello … just before my word came out of my mouth the doors were threw open and someone shouted ''Where is Natsu?! Lucy's house is on fire!
At that moment pinkette looked at me, wide-eyed. I could see some hatred and fear in his eyes just in a split second he turned away and sped from the hall, being followed by everyone from the guild. I followed them too, since I just had to and it was that girl who I had to defend and her house was on fire … damn Igneel would kill me if she would die sooner.
When we were nearing her house I could smell fire … well that's quite normal if her house was on fire … but what disturbed me was that sneaky smell of iron and lizards.
I was approximately 50 meters behind Natsu. I could hear him shouting her name like his life depend on it. Some fatty woman stood near the house with her hands on her eyes. I guess she knows the girl since some people from the guild were asking her what happened.
I looked at the burning construction … problem was the fire. It was really huge one, it almost looked like someone created it.
I can control fire, but not fire as large as this one in my human form, I had to get at least into a half human, half dragon form to get inside and to try to save her.
I went behind the house so no one could see me and tried getting inside …
Meanwhile …
Natsu's POV:
At the moment Jet ran into the hall and shouted his message to us I could feel my anger welling up inside me. This couldn't be happening, I just had to get there, she is our friend and we had to help her.
When I got there I nearly fell to my knees. Fire was huge and I couldn't eat it, when I tried to, it hurt like hell. I just had to get in there and save her.
While trying to come up with some idea how to get inside I saw the window to her bedroom open (the one we always use with Happy), unfortunately Happy was somewhere with Carla so I had to get there the other way. I saw the door left open, maybe her landlady left it like that while trying to save her own life, 'I guess no other option left, huh?' …
Lucy's POV:
When I threw away that amulet, everything started burning, even my walls caught up on fire, but then something happened. Amulet opened up and some sort of armored snakes came out of it.
They were really long from what I could see, they had red eyes and their bodies were black, plus they were covered in some sort of burning armor. I tried getting away but I couldn't.
They attacked me and pinned me to the ground, I couldn't move. They were like chains that held down their prey.
One of them suddenly started to change. He grew into some kind of lizard with legs and arms even with wings.
He then looked at me with his dark eyes and started …
"Hello there Lucy Heartfilia" he smirked while looking at me "I think you would like to know what are we trying to achieve but this is no time, nor place to speak about things like this."He moved right next to me and kneeled down looking at me "Your friends are coming and you will have to behave or they will not end up in one piece. Do you understand little foolish girl?"
After that monologue he put something sticky on my face, I couldn't move nor speak. Then he grabbed some little thing, it looked like a small coin and pressed it to my arm. It started burning, it hurt. I wanted to cry, to shout for help. The pain was unbearable. That thing started to submerge into my skin leaving a burned scar, after that I only saw black, nothing more …
Natsu's POV:
I ran inside, right upstairs, the fire burned my skin, I couldn't breath normally. I never felt fire like this.
The door were closed, I had to get in there, to save her I tried opening it, shouting "Lucy! It's me! Open the door!" Nothing … I tried pushing the door open, it wouldn't budge …
Lucy's POV:
I could hear him, I could hear Natsu trying to get here. I wanted to shout. But I was tired. It was frustrating.
I couldn't do anything just wait what will happen …
Lizard looked pretty nervous, guess he didn't count on that they would get here so fast, he then ordered snakes to get off me.
They hid their presence in dark parts of the room …
Natsu's POV:
I could hear some movement inside, I do not know what is happening in there but I will find out soon enough.
I went back few steps and charged at the door, it flew open, finally!
Then I saw her, lying on the ground with something black on her face, she was sitting on the ground, her keys nowhere to be found, I approached her.
„Oi Lucy, you alright? Come on, let's get out of here…"
Lucy's POV:
Natsu approached me, I could hear him talking to me but I couldn't quite hear him, I do not know what was happening to me but what was disturbing was that lizard disappeared …
Then I saw him … in the back of the room ... holding something like a knife, approaching there with his snakes behind him.
I tried calling Natsu's name and telling him to turn around, I couldn't … I couldn't do a thing they were going to attack him and I couldn't do a damn thing …
Oooooh, we have here another cliffhanger, hang on guys, chapter 4 will be here asap! ^^
