I'm back with another chapter. Thank you to everyone who is reading this!
I don't own fairy tail
Enjoy!
Gray sat at one of the many tables in the guild and swirled his drink with straw. He didn't actually have any intention of drinking the liquid; the ice Mage just got it to keep him occupied.
Gray looked around at the other members of the guild, and knew that they were feeling the same as he did. He gritted his teeth, and looked back down at the drink.
"Damm it." Gray muttered under his breath and stood up abruptly, causing his drink to knock over. The liquid dripped off the table, and onto the wooden floorboards below it. Gray watched it for a second before walking quickly out of the guild, avoiding the curious stares.
Natsu…don't die on me.

Erza sat under a tree, practicing her sword re-quipping on the shade. It kept her occupied, and stopped her thinking about what thinks were on her mind.
She sighed and changed her axe she was currently holding into a sword with a red handle.
Natsu…, she suddenly thought, dropping her sword. Can't you see what you are doing to Fairytail?
Erza got up, intending to go to the guild and get a mission that she could do with Lucy, Happy and Gray- to help put their minds off things.
But would it, when there was no dragon slayer to keep them company?
Come back to us Natsu, she thought, before picking up the sword and leaving.
-#!-#!-#!-#!
Lucy stroked Happy slowly and gently, being careful not to wake him up. The blue exceed had fallen asleep on her lap a while ago, and hadn't woke up yet. Lucy herself was sitting on the floor of her bedroom with her legs crossed, deep in thought.
A clock ticked in the background and it only reminded Lucy of the lack of noise in her house.
Usually, Natsu would be in her home by now, sleeping on the bed or helping himself to some of her food.
Or just sitting on the floor, playing with Happy.
Lucy smiled at the memories; she stroked Happy a little harder and looked up at the ceiling.
She blinked back some tears that sprang into her eyes frowned determinedly.
"We will find you Natsu." She said determinedly.

The river current was strong; it pulled ancient rocks from the ground and carried them along with all the other things it managed to pick up on the way: a plastic bag, perhaps, or sometimes big, long pieces of plastic. Eventually, all these things were cast aside on a river bank, trapped between rocks.
The body of Natsu Dragneel lay on some of these rocks.
The dragon slayer was drenched from head to foot; the only place that wasn't covered in water was on the top of his forehead, under his hair.
Instead, it was covered in blood.
It ran down his face steadily and onto the ground, creating a small puddle next to him. The only sign Natsu was alive was from the steady rise and fall of his chest.
"Villain!" A male voice shouted from above. There was a bark in reply.
The boy who was calling had spiked green hair which was messy and quite short. He was wearing a red hoodie, which was slightly too big for him, a black pair of jeans and brown sandals. Also, he wore black shades.
The teen walked some more, swinging his arms carelessly.
"Villain! Come on!" He called and jumped down from a small height, landing lightly on his feet. He caught a glimpse of the still figure of Natsu, and stepped back a little.
"Holy shit!" He yelled, and approached the unconscious dragon slayer curiously. He scratched his head and looked closer.
"Holy shit." He repeated, noticing the rise and fall of his chest.
Just then, a giant black dog came bounding up to them, wagging it's tail madly. It had sticking up ears and brown eyes. It barked softly and the teen turned to it, smiling at the sight of it.
"Could you go an' get Haru? Or somebody smart?" He asked, scratching the dogs ear.
At the mention of the name 'Haru', the dog, Villain, perked it's ears up. The teen grinned.
"Go." He said, and the dog ran off. The green haired teen crouched down and brushed some of the hair out of Natsu's face.
"How the fuck are you still alive?" He said and sat down on a nearby rock.
-#!-#!-#!-#!
A few minutes later, another teen came climbing down the rocks cautiously. He had black hair which was surprisingly neat, and he wore a checked shirt with a denim jacket. He had brown trousers and wore black rimmed glasses. His eyes were brown and he had a few freckles on his nose.
"What's up?" The boy, Haru, called and slipped a little.
"Come an' look at what I found…" he said, and Haru pushed up his glasses, annoyed.
"Myron," he said dangerously as he came closer, "if you got me all the way over here to look at something useless that you found then I swear I will-" he stopped dead and looked at the unconscious form of Natsu.
"Is he alive?!" Haru cried, running over to where Myron was crouched. He checked his pulse, then looked at the dragon slayer's face.
"He's bleeding." Haru said, calmer than he was before, and quickly took his jacket off then placed it on the wound on the head.
"He must've got swept up by the river." He said as Myron greeted his dog, who just came bounding forwards.
"What the fuck are we going to do?!" He said, looking at Haru. Haru muttered something, which sounded a lot like 'language' before replying:
"We gotta treat his wounds." He pressed the jacket on Natsu's head harder, applying more pressure. Myron rubbed the back of his neck.
"Should we take him to the others, then?" He said, nodding slightly at Natsu. Haru nodded.
"And I guess I'm carrying him?"
Haru nodded, with a amused smile on his face.
"Can you see me carrying him?" He asked, getting up. Myron laughed.
"Carrying?" He said, picking up the dragon slayer gently, "Nah- more like dragging, weak arms."

Natsu woke up hours later. He was first aware of nothing, but then he noticed the sharp pain in his head and the aching of his limbs.
Where was he?
What happened?
Who was he?
Natsu thought hard, trying not to panic.
I am Natsu. Natsu Dragneel., he thought. He tried to move, but nothing happened.
Desperately he tried to remember anything else. Anything.
But nothing came to mind. He could remember nothing.
"Hey!"
Natsu looked towards the source of the noise, and saw a girl standing there with a irritated look on her face. She had blonde hair tied up in a high ponytail and she had some freckles on her nose and on one of her cheeks. The girl was wearing a beaded denim jacket with a light blue top underneath. She had black leggings on, but Natsu couldn't see much of them. He looked up and also noticed that she was chewing something; presumably gum.
"Yeah, finally noticed me, huh?" She said, but it was in a kind way. The girl, who was about sixteen, sat down on the floor, which made Natsu realise that they were in a cave of some sort.
"Well, rise an' shine, sleepin' beauty!" She said happily with a big smile on her face. "Yeh know, I thought you were never gonna wake up."
Despite the circumstances, Natsu found himself smiling a little.
"Aha!" The girl cried, "I found a smile!"
Please say what you think! Good or bad, because this is my first Fairy tail fanfic!
