I woke up to bright lights and soft voices. My head was pounding preventing my thinking. All of a sudden I heard a crash and some yelling.

"She's…...and I have a…" Is all I could make out of the yelling voice. I tried to sit up, blinking back sleep.

"Look you have to leave now. She's in a critical condition." A female voice said.

" I'M NOT LEAVING! SHE PUT ME THROUGH ENOUGH TROUBLE ALREADY! SHE'S MY DAUGHTER!" A familiar voice screamed. I rubbed my eyes as I watched a nurse push my father out of the room, and close the door. She turned around and smiled.

"I'm glad you're awake. Did we wake you?" She asked calmly.

"No, I've been awake for awhile," I sat up.

"Your father came by to see you.."

"Yes I know,"

"We aren't going to allow anyone to see you until we get things cleared up. We noticed some other… scarring on your arms and legs. We would just like to ask you some questions. Alright?" I nodded slowly.

I heard more yelling outside and a loud bang as the doors flew open. I cringed expecting my father once again.

"Luce!" I looked up to see a pink haired boy at the doorway.

"Sir I told you no visitors…"

"I don't care!" He screamed as he moved closer to the bed, with a group of people following him.

"Natsu!" I began to get out of bed.

"Please sit back down dear you're going to hurt yourself," I ignored the nurse and jumped out of bed. Natsu took large steps towards me, then wrapped my in a large embrace.

"Are you ok?" He said softly. I didn't answer for fear that it might ruin what was happening. He pulled away and looked at me. His face immediately turned into a look of horror as he noticed my arms and legs. It was then that I realized I was wearing a normal hospital gown, with spaghetti straps, revealing my arms and legs. Scar upon scar covered them making my skin seem somewhat bumpy and rough.

"Who did this to you?" He whispered in quiet rage. His fists were in tight balls, as he stared at the ground.

"Natsu," I didn't know how to respond. It almost seemed like he cared, cared that i was hurt. I reached out. His head snapped up and i could see the rage in his eyes. It seemed as if his whole body would set on fire at any moment.

"Who did this to you!" This time he was screaming. He looked me in the eye, and for a second it felt like he…. No, nobody could ever love someone like me. Someone so ugly, and now he could see who I really was, what i really looked like. I could feel tears threaten to fall.

"I think it's time for you to go now sir," The nurse said calmly. Natsu ignored and continued to stare at my arms and legs. His eyes fell upon my right arm. The one my father had burned not too long ago. The arm had been properly bandaged.

One of the nurses then quickly grabbed my arm and began to pull me to the bed. I watched as the other nurse walked over to the group behind Natsu. It was all of Natsu's friends, and his cousin. The nurse whispered something in their ear and they all nodded. Then they made their way towards a screaming Natsu. Gajeel grabbed his right arm and Grey got his left. Erza stood behind him and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. The three of them attempted to pull natsu out of the room, but he began to struggle. By now he was screaming at the top of his lungs, tears threatening to fall from his eyes. I stood there in shock, as the nurse brought me to my bed and sat me down. It all seemed to happen so fast when, in reality, it only lasted about a minute.

After the nurse had closed the door I could still hear Natsu's sobs and pounding.

"Come on flame brains we have to leave her be, she needs rest. You can see her later," Grey yelled. Natsu's sobs stopped. The pounding on the door stopped. Everything seemed to stop, until I heard a loud thud and a scream of pain. The nurse standing beside my bed motioned to the other nurse, who then opened the door a crack. Through the small opening i could see grey clutching his nose as blood poured from it. Gajeel and Erza had Natsu pinned down. Levy, Juvia, and Lisanna were huddled around Grey, attempting to stop the blood.

The nurse closed the door.

"What's going on here?" I could hear her yell.

"Natsu got mad, that's all. Erza and I will take him home. Nothing to worry about," Gajeel said gruffly. It almost seemed as if he was mad at the nurse. I don't know why he'd be mad, but he was.

The nurse who was standing next to me smiled. "Alright then! Anything you need before we get started?"

"Well I could use a short nap. My head hurts from all that commotion." I was lying. I just needed a chance to think about things, alone.

"Alright then I'll stay here to watch over you while you sleep,"

"Actually, could I be alone? I sleep better that way." The nurse nodded and left the room.

I stood up and walked to the window. The birds chirped and the sun hung low in the sky, causing a faint pink to tint the clouds. Children played on the streets while their parents talked joyfully.

I felt something i hadn't felt in a long time. Peace.
