Sorry for the delay my computer got a virus and that slowed things down a bit the good thing was that I could rest on some of the ideas for this chapter and made this a little better than what I had planned. I kind of had to break my own heart as I chose what to introduce and what could wait for one more chapter I don't plan a quitting this but if I don't update soon I had an actual external problem preventing me from continuing I will not quit on laziness! I had intentions on adding more to this chapter but the LEMON will wait for next chapter I got to work tomorrow T.T
*Lucy POV*
"Yes it is your blood," he whispers in my ear. The bald man pulls me towards him I catch his fist as he tries to punch me. Just who does this creep thinks he is being hot doesn't give you a reason to treat a lady like that what a jerk. His palms surround my fist with strength and I feel my consciousness banishing. What is going on just how strong is he. I desperately try to keep awake as I feel the man lift me like a sack of potatoes I manage to make a last call
"NATSU!"
The impact wakes me as I feel the pain go though my body. What happened last I remember I had run and was there a bald guy? I sit up to see Natsu in full dragonforce exchanging blows with the bald guy. They sent spells shirtless exposing their perfectly toned bodies with every move. Natsu looked especially hot when he was pissed off about something so serious. It was a face that not many get to see from him yet it is somehow mesmerizing. Bad Lucy stop checking out your boyfriend's extremely hot body during a fight with a guy that tried to kidnap you!
They are perfectly matched both only giving out blows not bothering in defending themselves. Natsu finally takes two steps back sending his fist towards his opponent's neck that is completely covered in flames. Yet the man gets up and continues fighting as if nothing had changed. The flesh start to burn gaining white bubbles that pop releasing red fluids onto the man's body and Natsu's clothes. Finally the man falls back still covered in flames and Natsu continues punching his body as if in a trance he still hasn't come back from. His eyes seem cold and distant as that of a stranger that has lost it all.
"Natsu…" No response. I kneel next to him as I see how the skin melts right of the man's body like it does to a well cooked chicken. I speak his name again this time a little louder "Natsu!" He slows down to look at me. Though what I see are the soulless eyes of a lonely wander. He does not recognize me as he has fulfilled his desperate wishes. I put my hands on his cheeks say his name once again "Natsu…" The soul seems to return to his body as the flames die down.
"Lucy" he pronounces carefully as if trying to not make a mistake. "are you ok?" he asks while scratching the back of his head. I look around me to see the whole town burning. I feel my face twitching
"What were you thinking, you destroyed the whole town and we didn't even start this mission! How am I going to pay the ren-" he crashes his lips into mine.
"We can talk all you want later the authorities are here" he pulls me up and carries me as I see that indeed we were being followed by very angry man in shining armor. By the Gods things never change with him.
*Rosalia POV*
The cell was cold and the wooden bindings held me up. I could feel my own blood running down my arms yet I deserve this. I brought Becket with me to his death. What was I thinking; Igneel would be mad if we killed the boy. Everyone thinks Acnologia could be the strongest but he is just a brute cursed and lost his soul. Yet that boy that "human" boy is they. Igneel so much you have suffered. The same day your son hatches from the egg Zeref brings out Acnologia. Igneel was just a hatchling when he had his child yet he was already respected as the strongest by all. Acnologia as much of a brute as he might be he knew that the only way to take the throne was to kick where it hurts the most. Not only did he take Igneel's mate yet the way he killed the poor female. It was a pure demonstration of brute power a simple come get me if you can. So concentrated on his broken heart he never noticed that Acnologia's next target was the child. The kid didn't suffer so much, it was a simple blow to the neck and the curse had taken its toll Igneel renounced to the throne he couldn't even put up a fight anymore. No one heard much of him other that the typical court. Grandeeney was the closest during those times all of the court had received the same treatment. She had lost her egg before it hatched only two days after laying it. It took two days for Acnologia to destroy her life. The lost of balance in the dragons also changed the human society. Mages usually hated finally gained some respect they mage population finally reached 1% after that horrible year and was steadily growing as the need for mages grew. Guilds were formed and the humans had a great time. Yet that is not fully the truth. I remember the beautiful dragoness with white scales and onyx eyes. The way she made him smile with that wide grin that showed every of his teeth and made his red scales brighten. At this point it wouldn't matter where I search I will never find it again. He has never smiles like that since that day.
