Chapter 4:

We Prepare for War

Natsu's POV:

Lucy was crying in her sleep and I saw Hans smirking. "What are you ding to her," I asked.

"Giving her a nightmare that might come try," Hans replied with evil grin.

"Let her go," I said, "Or I'll kill you."

"Now now, salamander. Oh will come in good time," Hans replied, "I'm going to wake Lucy up and I will leave but we meet again. And when we do, I hope to make Lucy's nightmare a reality." Then Hans shaped his fingers and Lucy woke up while Hans disappeared.

"Natsu, was it just a dream. Is this real," Lucy asked as she cried.

"Lucy everything is going to be ok. Just tell me what happened in your nightmare," I told her as I pulled her into a hug.

"Hans, he killed everyone right in front of me then he killed you. I was so scared in the nightmare, I couldn't move, and I," Lucy replied and she sobbed into my chest.

"Lucy, its okay. I'm right here, it was just nightmare. Lets go get your guild mark back," I whispered and I rubbed her back in comfort.

"Natsu, it felt so real and I was so scared," Lucy said and she continued to sobbed.

"It was just a dream. Here let me show you," I replied then I pull her back a little, leaned down and finally locked our lips together. This made Lucy's tears stop and her eyes widen and then she closed her eyes as she kissed me back.

When we broke apart, Lucy said, "You're right, it was just a dream."

"Alright, now let's go back to the guild," I told her.

"They lllliiiiikkkkkkeeeee each other," Happy sang as he flew by.

"Wrong Happy, we love each other," I replied and I smiled while Lucy blushed.

"Lets go back to the guild," Lucy said and she put her hand in my then we took off for the guild.

Lucy's POV:

*TIME SKIP 30 minutes later*

"Lucy, you're going to leave us," Wendy asked.

"No, I was about to make a very stupid decision because of Natsu," I told her then master came and pulled me aside.

"Lucy since you're staying, we need to tell the guild that we need to get ready for an attack," the master said.

"You're but I don't think I can tell them after everything that happen between Natsu, Hans, and me, I don't think I can," I replied, "Can you tell them for me?"

"I can and I will," the master said then he walked up stairs.

"Whats going on Luce," Natsu asked.

"You're about to find out," I replied.

"Alright, my children. Our fellow member, Lucy, was threatened by Hans, member of guild from a foreign country named Black Knight," the master said, "Lucy original decided to meet Hans' demands which for her to leave with him and never return because if she didn't Hans threaten to destroyed our beloved guild. Lucy had guild mark removed and everything."

"Lucy, you were really going to do," over half the guild asked and I nodded my head.

"But after some things happened, Lucy has changed her mind and she is going to stay," the master announced and everyone cheered, "So my children, get your best magic together because we maybe going to war soon."

"AYE SIR," Everyone yelled in reply.

"Lucy, I'm so glad you're staying," Levy said as she wrapped her arms around me.

"Ya, me too," I replied and I hugged her back.

"So what changed your mind," Levy asked after we broke the hug.

"You can thank Natsu here for that," I replied and I poked Natsu in the stomach.

"Thanks Natsu," Levy said with a few giggles then she winked at me which made me blushed. I stared at my new replace guild mark and I smiled as Natsu gave me a side hug.
