Disclaimer: HOW MANY DAMN TIMES AM I GOING TO SAY I DON'T OWN F-A-I-R-Y-T-A-L-E!?

Enjoy the story guys, ;D worked on this...(also)- I kinda changed some things, like it's after Igneel died...even though Master Makarov...I'm really sorry about that. Remember it's a fan fiction. Please be nice.

-W-A-R-N-I-N-G-: Rated T, for Torture and some strong language- I feel bad, but please don't read if it will bother you!

NO FLAMING! DON'T BE LIKE NATSU ON THIS ONE! NO CRITICS EITHER! BE NICE!

"Natsu!" Lucy yelled, and was suddenly smacked into a tree because of her loss of defense.

"Let's leave 'em!"

"Throwing Spell Cast of Coranth! SIESTA!"

Everyone gasped, and fell to the ground, clutching their throats, but eventually slipping into a sleep.

"Let's bring Salamander away...I have just the right plan..."

"Igneel..." Natsu murmured. "Gone."

Natsu stared into the sky. "WHERE ARE YOU IGNEEL!?"

Natsu fell to his knees and started crying. "Igneel!"

"I think I'll join..."

"So, flame brain! What are you doing? Moping around!" A young Gray teased.

Today, Natsu Dragneel, Adopted Son of Igneel the King Fire Dragon, age 11 (A/N: Or so he thought...lol) , was not taking offense. The young pink haired boy had been suffering from nightmares again.

Nightmares that his father was dead. That Igneel had been murdered. Natsu only folded his arms, and stared away from Gray.

"Hey! I was talking!" Gray shouted.

"Leave me alone Gray..." Natsu murmured.

"What's going on here?" Erza asked. "You two aren't fighting again."

"No." Natsu said, and stood up. "Just leave me alone, Gray."

Some of the guild members raised their eyebrows, figuring the two were going to fight again, as Natsu proceeded towards the door.

Gray laughed. "Why? Seriously, what's wrong? You being a baby?"

Natsu stopped in his tracks. His shoulders started shaking, but no one recognized it as anger...they recognized it as sadness and fear.

"Are you crying!?" Gray gasped, not trying to be taunting at all.

"No!" Natsu tried to cover his face. "I-I'm not crying! I'm fine! I'm okay! See? I'm fine!"

Young Erza slowly went over to check, but Natsu wasn't actually expecting it, and tried to hide his face.

Erza gasped when she finally saw it. "Natsu...what's wrong...?"

"I'm fine!" Natsu defended, pulling away from her.

Lisanna clambered over and placed her little hand on Natsu's shoulder. He tensed and glanced down. "You can tell us, Natsu, we're family."

Natsu looked back into Erza's eyes, as Gray walked up behind her.

"I miss Igneel..." He whispered.

Suddenly, Erza and Gray's facial expressions softened. Both of them, even at their young ages, knew what it was like to miss someone.

Erza made the "mmph" sound in the back of her throat, and bent down only a little, to be at Natsu's exact height, Gray just stood there, being the same height as Natsu. Both of their faces showed sentiment.

"What else?" Erza asked, putting her hand on Natsu's arm.

"Bad dreams." Natsu whispered again.

Only the four could hear. Lisanna rubbed Natsu's shoulder, and took a step away, watching him carefully.

Erza and Gray exchanged looks, and Gray shrugged. Erza used her eyes to get Gray to move towards him.

"Ugh! No way!" Gray said.

Erza stopped everything and glared at Gray.

"I mean- yes ma'am!" Gray put his arm awkwardly around Natsu's neck. "Uh-um...hey."

Natsu frowned. Erza face palmed, and grabbed Gray by the collar-nope, the scruff, because he wasn't wearing a shirt- of his neck, and tossed him behind her.

"Don't worry, Natsu." Erza said brightly. "We'll get through this. We're family after all. First thing starting now, is to help Natsu be cured of his nightmares!"

Everyone grumbled, but agreed.

"Thanks...?"

Natsu realized how great of a family he really had. And that there was no possible way that Erza would betray Fairy Tail.

Natsu wasn't daft, he wasn't clueless all the time, he was just ignorant, and stubborn. And only Natsu would admit that to himself. He couldn't believe he thought Erza would do something like that.

He was clouded with anger, and he didn't realize it was clearly possible she was framed. "evidence". That's what everyone says. There sure was plenty of "evidence", but it could have been fake.

Usually Natsu was the one that took Erza's side when she was being accused of something. And...he didn't.

And now it was too late to take Erza's side. He had no idea where he was. Natsu was trapped in the darkness of unconsciousness, yet his thoughts ran wild, as memories and dreams flooded his mind, and like an ant in a puddle, it was too overwhelming.

Curses come with life.

And no would would believe how many curses were actually attached to Natsu's life until they saw them in person. And then they realized how miserable and sad his life story really was.

...

"Wakey, wakey..."

Natsu felt himself returning to consciousness. He blinked his eyes twice, over coming the blurry in his vision. In front of him was a man.

Natsu assumed he had kidnapped him. Obviously.

"My name is Hideo." The man said, grinning. "I know who you are. You are E.N.D, Natsu Dragneel, brother of Zeref Dragneel, Salamander, mage of Fairy Tail. And I know you are quite powerful too, and I have decided, once I have my fun...you remember that Daphne fella, don't you? The one who used you as a human battery to power her "Dragonoid"? Yes...her plan was not so bad. I've decided once I have my fun with you...I'm going to take all of your magic energy, and trap it here, to power my monster-if you would even call it that- and destroy your home town, I will seize control over the world, and your brother will not be able to stop me-"

"Enough with the monologging..." Natsu yawned, he tried lifting his hands, but found they were chained.

"Looks like you've just realized your chains. Magic binding. You cannot use them, Salamander."

Natsu grumbled.

Should've figured that one out.

"I'm excited...how about you?"

"The only thing I'm excited for is to beat your face in."

Hideo growled, but then laughed. "Heh...see the condition you are in? You. Won't. Get. A. Chance."

Hideo raised his hand, and smacked Natsu across the face. Natsu was slightly surprised, but shook it off, and grinned. "You hit like a ten year old girl."

He said "ten year old", with Erza in mind. Because he knew just how hard girls could hit. He wasn't actually expecting Lucy to hit so hard...

Hideo glared, and pulled a small knife from his boot. "Say that again."

Natsu rolled his eyes. "I can say it a million times, idiot. You hit like a ten year old girl-"

Hideo placed the knife on Natsu's arm, ad dragged it across, digging it deep into Salamanders skin. Natsu gasped for air, then biting his tongue at the pain.

Hideo kicked Natsu in the chest. "Now what do you say?"

"The exact same thing."

Hideo glared, and then took a breath. "Living hell of the torture beast! Electrify and torture!"

Suddenly, immense pain coursed through Natsu's body, as he was brutally tortured. He screamed, and squeezed his eyes shut. If Hideo's plan did come into play...then all the power of END would power up that "Monster", and destroy the world. It would.

Natsu was mostly happy that Hideo didn't have Zeref.

"Finish!" Hideo shouted, and the pain slowly died down.

Natsu opened his eyes, his chest heaving up and down. It didn't help when he was being whipped as well. He felt blood drip down his back.

They used thousands of different torture methods on Natsu Dragneel. And they all made him scream.

"Lucy..." A far away voice said.

Lucy groaned, wanting to sleep again.

"Luccyyy..."

Lucy finally opened her eyes.

"Ugh..."

The woman in front of her frowned.

"E-Erza!?" Lucy jumped back in surprise, the woman as far to close to Lucy for her likings.

Erza scowled. "Are you well?"

Lucy nodded. "Um..."

"You want an explanation, don't you."

Lucy nodded.

"I'm with the Crime Sorcière. Right now. I decided to help them, and we walked into the forest. And found you."

Quickest explanation ever...Lucy thought.

But it looked as Erza wasn't lying. The Crime Sorcière was in fact standing there.

Lucy blinked, it wasn't day anymore. It was at least the middle of night.

"Do you...know how long I've been here?" Lucy rubbed her head.

"We found you yesterday. But by the smell of you, I'd say you've been here for a few days."

"How long has it been since..."

"Two days."

Lucy "mmph"ed, and her eyes widened.

"No way...I've been sleeping for two days!?"

Lucy looked around, and started counting. Meredy and the rest of the Crime Sorcière were trying to help wake up the others.

"We better head back to the guild..." Mirajane said once everyone was awake. "We will need to start looking for Natsu."

"But...that guy took him." Lisanna sighed.

"But we won't give up hope." Erza replied. "Come on."

Natsu had endured hours of torture. He wasn't sure how much longer he could go.

"Zeref..." Natsu murmured. "...Lucy...help...me..."

Have no fear! I will update again soon!
