HI EVERYONE!

I'm soooooo sorry that this is late, but I worked very hard so hope you like it. :-)

Chapter 2

Natsu p.o.v

It was all my fault.

I knew it was but I didn't want to accept it.

I felt so sad that Lucy was hurt, but

I still felt hurt and angry about the words she had spoken.

That's probably why such harsh words came from my mouth when Erza asked me.

"Natsu would you like to go see her?" asked Erza her eyes still full of tears.

"What? Why would I?" I wanted to go see her but my pride held me back.

"Why? Well why wouldn't you your worried about her aren't you?" Erza asked her expression filled with confusion.

"No. why should I worry about her. It's her fault for getting hurt not mine." I snapped back and it was obvious that this comment didn't go down to well.

Grays head shot up and glared in his direction and reached forward to grab Natsu by the scarf.

"What is wrong with you Natsu? I know that you would never talk like that about your nakama so what happened to you? Natsu. Please."

He didn't shout. He didn't look at me with a stony glare. All I could hear in Grays voice was a plea, his eyes where begging him to say something. Grays eyes looked weak and vulnerable. In all the years I've known Gray I've never seen him beg, I've never seen him look so scared. But I couldn't oblige, I turn my face away and looked out the window into the night sky. Grays grip on my scarf loosened.

"Dam it Natsu. What happened and why can't you tell us?" whispered Gray.

I couldn't tell Gray I just couldn't, but that didn't keep me from remembering what happened on that awful night.

Flashback

"Natsu! You just burned my manuscript! Screeched Lucy clutching the charred paper.

"I already said I was sorry. It's no big deal it's just a book." Natsu said tiredly.

"NO BIG DEAL! NO BIG DEAL! YOU KNOW HOW HARD I WORKED HOW CAN YOU ACT AS IF YOU DON'T CARE!" shouted Lucy, anger soaked her words. She was not happy that night maybe that's what caused her to say those words. "OF COUSRE YOU DON'T CARE, YOU'VE NEVER CARED ABOUT ANYTHING OR ANYONE…YOU DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE YOU HURT!

"THAT 'S NOT TRUE! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SAY THAT TO THE PERSON WHO SAVES YOU EVERY SINGLE TIME!" fury burned through my veins and I couldn't stop myself. "IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOUR SOO WEAK!" I stopped, I knew then the words I used were wrong and I wasn't looking forward to what was coming next.

"I know… I know I'm weak and I always need help, but" she mumbled her eyes hid in the shadow of her hair but I could still see the glisten of a tear. "…but I TRY NOT TO BE! I TRY! AND I'M SORRY IF I HAVEN'T GOT ANY AMZING POWERS AND MY DAD WASN'T AN ALLMIGHTY BEAST." I couldn't stand the fact that my father got mocked like that, so I carried on.

"WELL AT LEAST MY DAD LOVED ME… WHAT ABOUT YOURS HE'D BE HAPPIER IF YOU WEREN'T ALIVE!" I shouted my voice in a venomous tone. Happy watched on as his two best friends fight, tears streaming his face.

"WELL AT LEAST MY DADS STILL ALIVE! YOURS LEFT YOU ALL ALONE BECAUSE YOU'RE A NUISANCE! AND YOU KNOW WHAT I BET HE'S NEVER GOING TO COME BACK! I BET YOU HE ISN'T EVEN ALIVE! I BET YOU HE'S DE-"

SLAP

I didn't realize what I did just then. I looked down to find Lucy weeping her hand held against her cheek. Next to me Happy was in a state of shock. I would never hit my friends like that, especially Lucy. My hand was still tingling from the impact. Lucy stood up and how I so regretted what I did.

"L...Lucy I-" I stopped when our eyes locked and I knew it was too late for sorry.

"Don't come near me ever again, don't talk to me and don't try to save me and if you do… I promise you will never see me again." She whispered and ran into the dark forest sobbing as she went. I wanted to run after her, I wanted to say sorry but my stubbornness held me back. And all I could think was.

Good riddance.

.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.

I felt as if I was burning up inside. Obviously not from heat but from anger. All I could think about was how she said those word. I felt betrayed, one of my best friends had said those words to me and she knew that it was only hope that kept me going. My whole body felt like it was going to blow; every part of me stung especially my hand. I looked at it for a long time, even if my thought were dominated with anger against Lucy a part of me, deep inside felt ashamed that not only did I hit a girl with no way to defended herself, I hit Lucy. Inside after all the things she had said I felt that what I did was very wrong.

I thought back to her face how the tears dropped down her face and how her face was stained red not only because she was crying but also because I hit her. But whenever there were feelings of guilt I always pushed them down. I didn't want to feel guilt, after what she said I just didn't.

"Natsu!" called Happy, I turn to find Happy. He looked scared and by scared I mean petrified.

"What" I asked in a gruff voice. Happy seemed to hesitate wondering whether to carry on or not.

"W...Well Natsu can't you smell it." Asked the exceed. I gave him a blank look too tired to care with all the inflicting emotions in me. "Y…You know can't you smell…her." I knew he was talking about Lucy.

"What-" I was cut short when I could smell her or to be more precise her blood.

"Come on Happy we have to go save-" I stopped when I remembered her threat I cursed myself letting the fight get that far.

"Natsu?" I looked up at Happy, she looked so serious when she said those things, and I just don't want them to come true. "I know what she said must have seemed real but I know she wouldn't kill herself if you saved her. I know we're all too important to her and knowing her she probably more hurt about the things she said then about you hitting her, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't apologies. So come on Natsu lets go save her."

His words seemed so true, so real it brushed aside all my doubts.

"Yea come on let's go!" I shouted and ran in to forest and catching Lucy's sent I ran to save her and to say sorry.

After this all my memories became blurry all I could remember was running into a cave and saw Lucy on the ground she was wounded and in tears, that was when I saw the demon. I remember him looking like any sort of man but his presence was much darker. Then I remember fighting him and getting blasted into a wall and then everything went black.

The next thing I knew, I woke up here. I have no idea how we got here all I know is that Lucy's hurt and because of that I can only thing of one explanation. Lucy actually tired to kill herself because I tried to save her.

She tried to die and leave us; she thought it was ok to leave us alone, she thought that that would solve everything. How stupid she is.

I was mad at her for try to leave Fairy Tail, her family and most of all she tried to leave me.

"I can't take it anymore!" shouted Gray bringing my back from my thoughts. I felt myself being dragged to the floor and I fell out of bed. Gray didn't seem to care if I was hurt all he wanted was for me to see Lucy but I wasn't going to let that happen

"Stop I'm not going to go see her! If she wanted to die and leave us then fine like I care. Like I'd care about that bitch-"

"STOP IT! JUST STOP IT!"

We all turned to find Happy looking up at us with an expression that we had never seen before. His face was twisted with anger.

"Just stop it Natsu you have no right to say that after what she did. You have no right to say you don't care after what she did!" shouted Happy.

"Wait minute, Happy does that mean you know what happened" asked Erza. Happy seemed to hesitate.

"Well dose it" asked Gray impatiently

"Yes I do know what happened, but….I can't."

"Happy tell me…..please" Happy looked up at me he seemed to make his resolve.

"Fine I'll tell you for Lucy's sake. After Natsu got knocked into a wall the demon was going to poison him to get his power."

"what, why?" I was confused, what did my powers have to do with anything.

"He said that he wanted to be the strongest demon ever and for that he needed powerful blood, but he couldn't drink human blood so he'd have to turn it into demons blood. But a human can't like with demons blood in them so when your just about to die he'll come and take your blood." Said Happy . he said it slowly as if he was remembering each memory.

"Then how come I'm not hurt then, and what has this got to do with Lucy." I said impatiently.

"I'm getting there alright, when the demon was about to give you the poison Lucy stopped him. She told him that she was even more powerful and she…she…she said that she'd take the poison if she called take you back home after."

Everyone gasped, shock written across their face, but I didn't know what to feel. I never expected her to do that for me.

"She did just as she promised she toke the poison and brought you back on her back. She never slept; she never stopped walking, until she knew you were safe she never stopped. Do you see now Natsu, do you see why you should care."

They all turned to look at me to see if I understood and I did understand. I hated myself, because if I wasn't there she wouldn't have wanted to save me if I was stronger she wouldn't be hurt. I caused this problem I caused the fight. So I was right all along. It really was my fault.

"You should care Natsu." There still was anger in Happy's word. "She gave her life for you so don't say you don-"

"Happy that's enough"

We all turn to find our faithful blonde friend panting heavily at the door.

"Please Happy….. that's enough." Said Lucy.

So please tell me if you liked it or even hated it.

I love every type of comment so please review.

Lots of Hugs

Badger.
