The black dragon slayer of the apocalypse
Chapter 7
At Lucy's house
The 2 dragon slayers had finally awoken in Lucy's house. She had placed a chair next to Natsu's; well it was actually hers, bed, for Haruhi to sit on Happy had fallen asleep on top of Natsu a few hours prior so she had woken him and told him to go to the guild for a couple of hours and rest there. She had also told him that, when he came back to her house, to bring Wendy along with him.
She then went in the room where the dragon slayer siblings were and told them that she needs to restock her kitchen and won't be home for a while. Her true intentions were to stay out of their way whilst they sort out their differences. Lucy was worried that Natsu would try to break out again but without Erza what could she do? She'd rather stay well away.
"Natsu I'm sorry, truly I am." Haruhi bowed her head.
"Who are you? I recognise the magic you used to finish me off yester… I'm the day before yesterday. It was Zancrow's of Grimoire Heart. But that can't be possible. We found his remains the day we returned, He is dead" Natsu pointed out.
His face was so serious that no one would even believe that it was the same carefree, knuckle head that didn't think twice before starting a fight.
"What are you hiding Haruhi? At one point I thought you were lying about being my sister, but your scent isn't evil, every cell in my body tells me you are my sister but that I shouldn't trust you. You aren't evil yet I can't trust you? That doesn't make sense. Tell me everything right now Haruhi!" Natsu screamed. Confusion, anger, disappointment, frustration. All Natsu's feelings were portrayed through the last sentence he said.
Haruhi was taken aback by the sheer loudness of Natsu's voice. He had made Lucy's house shake with his dragon like voice. She took a deep breath. After taking a few seconds to comprehend what Natsu had just told her, she began to speak.
"I can't tell you about my past."
"You told me about our parents. Are you telling me this more traumatizing than what you saw that day?"
"NO!… You had a right to know what happened to them. They were our parents you know."
"Well you're my sister and I deserve to know what you had to go through without your big brother being there to help and protect you."
"I was trying to protect you from the truth but you're as stubborn as you was that day we fought. I'll tell you again you will regret me telling you."
"You don't need to protect me; I'm the one that needs to protect you. I have to make up for all the years I wasn't there with you."
"Fine, I… It all happened 16 years ago…"
*flashback*
"MUM! DAD!" The remains of Haruhi's parents lay in front of the five year old child.
Haruhi was wearing a blue frock. Her hair was pink and reached her shoulders.
Even though she was smart for her age, she still didn't know what to do. The beast that killed her parent was right in front of her.
"Am I going to die?" She asked the dragon called Acnologia.
As expected he didn't reply. She had given up hope, she was a sickly child because her excessive magic power would eat up her strength. She knew she can't run away, she had accept her fate and was about to collapse when the tip of Acnologia's claw touched her forehead.
The magic power that once zapped her of strength had been contained, her parent's final wishes had come to reality, they had even sacrificed their lives for it. The sudden change in Haruhi's body made her pass out.
Once she had awoken the dragon had disappeared and she buried her parents.
Haruhi left the grave with flowers and began her journey. Her heart was burdened with guilt but she knew they would want her to survive. She made it a quest to find her lost brother. Her parents had told her a few things about him.
They told Haruhi that he had pink hair and white skin his eyes were the darkest kind of brown so much so they looked black. He looked more like his father than his mother but their ears were the same. They had also told her that he would know fire dragon slayer magic just like dad did and that he was somewhere west. The last thing they told her was that his name was Natsu Dragneel.
Haruhi began to search. But found herself without any money and no food. For around a year she went on living like that. She didn't know how to use her magic properly yet and was slightly scared of it as she wouldn't even be able to use it if it wasn't for Acnologia.
Haruhi didn't know how to direct herself west so she would often ask other people. She somehow found herself in the North. She didn't have any clothes and wasn't use to the cold. Eventually she passed out because of the temperature. She woke up to find herself next to a fire with a topless boy that was a couple of years older to her. Haruhi found the boy's shirt had been placed around her. Face flushed red, she tried to return the shirt only to get hit on the head.
"If someone gives you something you should take it." The boy told her.
"But what about you aren't you cold?" Haruhi asked
"Not a chance! if I was, then I would have no right to call myself an ice mage." The boy smiled in response to Haruhi's jaw dropping down.
"You're an ice mage? But you're only a couple of years older to me."
"My master Ur taught me how to do it." The boy said smugly whilst demonstrating his power to Haruhi.
"That's amazing do you think she'll teach me?" Haruhi asked with hope that she would be able to learn how to control her power properly.
"She died a while ago protecting me." The boy answered.
Haruhi apologised and then remained silent.
Haruhi: It doesn't look like he his blaming himself for his master's death he admits it was his fault but his face portrays a different message. That he has forgiven himself.
"Erm… You've helped me so much and even saved my life. I want to thank you but I don't even know your name." Haruhi admitted.
"It's Gray Fullbuster, and I'm a proud fairy tail wizard."
