Darkness... That's all she could see. Her mind was fuzzy and it hurt trying to open her eyes. She thought, since she was probable next to the river that it would be cold. But all she could feel was warmth.

She shifted around a bit and it felt like she had a blanket on. Her head was on a square piece of fabric and bearded her face into it. Every time she tried to open her eyes they hurt. She let out a sigh. She then stiffened as she breathed in an unfamiliar scent.

It was from the fabric her head was laying on. The smell was wonderful. She didn't really know what it smelt like at first but now she did. She could smell the forest, but not just this one. Many forests. Which she has never seen before. Another smell was brought to her now. Fire. It smelt a bit smoky but she loved it. The way it warmed up her nose as it went through her body. But then finally found another smell. This smell was like none she had ever smelt. It was kind of a musky smell. She just couldn't describe it but it was her favourite out of all of them.

She slowly sat up constantly rubbing her eyes to get them to open up. Once they slowly opened, her eye sight was still a little blurry but she could see well enough. She was far away from the lake but it was still in view. It was darker then before so she could only Imagen that it was some time in the onto the dark red blanket which was wrapped around her

'Who put this on me. How did I get here' Scanning around the place. Suddenly her eyes fell on a figure leaning against a tree on the floor.

"Ahh-" Quickly stopped herself from screaming as she realised that the man was fast asleep. She slowly but carefully crawled over to him. His face was tilted down, his arms crossed over his chest and his legs were also crossed. Soon she was right next to him, staring straight at him. As she looked at his face she suddenly remembered.

'Wait! He's the one who saved me early. Why is he here'

She was now sitting right in front of him. Sort of examining his body. He just sat there sleeping and she noticed that his breathing was a bit off, then she saw it.

"Oh my god.." She mumbled.

She was now looking at his right hip in shock. On his red hoody there was a much darker red patch sitting on his hip. She slowly brought her hand to it and touched it. It felt like she had just touched lava, it was so hot. When she finally pulled away she looked down at her hand and saw Blood. Some of it was now smeared all over her hand and it started to scare her. The man who saved her life might be dying right now and she was just sitting there, doing nothing.

'No! I will help!' She thought to herself, with shaky hands she reached up towards the zip of his hoody.

'If I just take off his hoody and have a look I might be able to do something' Though she did not know what exactly she would do. With one hand now she took a hold of his zip at the top of his hoody, but suddenly got scared half to death. His right arm quickly grabbed her wrist and the man slowly looked up with a serious (but sleepy) stare and growled.

"Don't."

She just sat there slightly shaking as the man just stared at her. She tried to pull away but it was no use, he had a tight grip on her wrist.

"I-I'm... s-sorry" She managed to squeak out before looking down at the floor, she could feel his grip loosen a bit but didn't take it away.

"For what?"

A bit taken back at that question. She looked up at him to see that there was a confused look on his face and a tiny hint of pain.

"F-for... touching your. er..." She had no idea what to say. 'Damn my stuttering'

"It's ok you didn't know" His face lit up into a toothy grin which relaxed her a bit.

"So um are-"

"Hey. Are you alright!" He shouted suddenly stopping her from finishing. Looked down to where he was looking at she saw the blood covering her hand.

"This isn't my blood idiot" She said looking back at him. He had a very confused look on. He slowly unfolded his legs but hissed at the the sudden pain. 'Damn, guess I got hit' He thought.

"Don't move you'll hurt yourself!" She said but it sounded more like an order.

"I'm fine. I've had worse. But more importantly are you okay?" He asked her, now she had a confused face on.

"S-sore" said women simply stated.

"Thank you for saving me. But...W-why did you save me?" She asked him and seeing a blank look on his face shrugging his shoulders.

"Dunno princess" He said like it meant nothing. "P-princess?" She asked looking at him and he sudden looked a little confused himself.

"W-well. Your wearing some nice clothes and you needed some help. So yeah, Princess" He said like it explained everything.

"Well thank you prince" The so called princess said trying to tease him but instead of an amused face she got a disgusted face.

"What! No way, I'm the dragon in that type of story" He stated with a toothy grin and pointed to himself. The blonde girl just couldn't help but chuckle

"Whatever dragon boy" She said and slowly stood up. He went to stand up himself but only got half way up the tree before groaning and sliding back down. She was at his side in an instant.

"Are you okay!?" She asked helping him up. His left arm swung over her shoulders and his right hand holding his side, cold sweat running down his forehead.

"Y-yeah. Just... can you take me to the river?" asking her and she just simply nodded in agreement. They slowly walked to the river. It wasn't helping that the 'dragon boy' was actually quite heavy. Once they arrived at the river he wiggled loose from her grip and knelt down next to the river and started to splash his face with water.

"C-can I help you at all?" She asked shyly. He slowly looked at her. He now realised that she was actually quite pretty even though her dress was torn up, hair a mess and blood stains.

"Y-yeah. There's a bag over there can you bring it to me"

"Sure" Saying with a sweet smile.

She walked back over to where they were sitting moments ago. There laid a sort of bed which she guessed she was laying on moments ago. Looking at where the dragon boy was sitting, this made the blonde smile. There sat his green ruck sack. She walked over to it and picked it up. Her arm still hurted from the bullet but now there was a bandage on it which helped a lot. 'He must of put it on for me' She thought as she walked back to him. But suddenly stopped at the sight of him.

"Pff-" She stopped herself from laughing. At that noise it made him turn around.

When she was gone he had put his hood down and washed his face and bits of his hair. But that's not why she was laughing. She was laughing at his hair. As she Starting walking towards him he had an unhappy look on his face.

"What's so funny!" Snatching the bag away from her and looking inside. The blonde couldn't take it any more and burst out laughing. He slowly stood up crossing his arms and frowning at her.

"Stop it."

"Haha... I- sorry. But who the hell has pink hair!"

She was right, he stood there with bright pink hair sticking out in ever angle possible.

"Whatever." He muttered as he popped 2 pills into his mouth before swallowing. Standing up now the blonde stood there with her arms crossed over her huge chest. The teen boy has see many chests before in his life but he hade to emit it, they were huge. She then poked him in the chest.

"Take that off."

"What!"

"I said take it off. It's covered in blood" She said stepping closer towards him, he just shuffled back.

"N-no Its fine I'll just-" Before he could finish his sentence his jacket was zipped down and his eyes went wide. Staring back at the girl she had an even wider look on her face and was about to scream when he quickly put his hand over her mouth to stop her.

"Don't scream. Don't scream! I won't hurt you I promise." Looking straight into the girls eyes. After a short period of time the boy spoke again "I'm going to take my hand away now. Promise you won't scream?" The girl just slowly nodded and with that his hand slided of her month and back down to his side.

"S-salamander... THE salamander!" She said with a hint of shock in her voice.

"Huh?" He said tilting his head "Oh right that's what they call me. I really don't understand why they don't call me by my name though?" saying out loud as he scratched his cheek with his index finger.

"The salamander... The leader of... the fairy tail bandits?" Mumbled the girl but was loud enough for him to hear.

"Uh, Yeah?"

"Wh-what are you doing here?"

Ok so, the reason for why she suddenly realised who he was was because of the scaled scarf he hid underneath his jacket. The pink hair of course showed it of too but she didn't really think about that at that precise moment in time.

"Well. Me and my friends were just looking for someone rich and pathetic to rob and I did!" He said proudly. At this though her eyes went wide again.

"Wait, you mean you robbed the Heartfilia's mansion?" She asked shivering a bit.

"Huh? How did the princess guess" He said smugly looking down at her and saw small tears forming in her eyes. His face turned more serious now. Bending down he pulled her into a strong hug and ignored the shocked look on her face and whispered.

"Don't worry miss Heartfilia I wont harm you". Shocked that he new who she was but then she couldn't help but relax into his arms as she could smell that amazing scent again from when she woke up 'Ah~. So the is where it came from...'

He pulled away from the hug and slowly turned around to head deeper into the forest. Starting to walk he heard her say something.

"Where are you going?" It was a voice that was pleading him almost asking him to stay. He turned around.

"Getting some fire wood" saying that with a toothy grin to tell her that he will be coming back. Walking away again to go deeper into the forest but he stopped.

"Natsu" He said

"W-what?" She answered.

"My name. It's not salamander it's Natsu. Natsu Dragneel." And with that he walked into the forest away from her sight but his ears still picked up the girls voice.

"T-thank you, Natsu..."
