A dragon needs a … demon (mate): Chapter 5 A tortured soul
Author note: thank you for your reading and reviews, here it goes chapter 5
Last time
"Mira, I love you and you are the woman that I want to spend my whole life with, so, please, do you want to be my girlfriend?" said Natsu, hope filling his heart. Mira was shocked, she slapped him on the face and said "You are a jerk, you want to replace my sister with me, we are not your toys" and she left him alone and broken.
Let's start
After coming out of his shock he went home, but not the one in the city, instead he went to the one at the forest; he needed to be alone at that moment. When he reached his house he couldn't stop the tears from falling from his eyes; after being rejected by the one you love, no matter how strong you are you could not stop yourself from crying, it is a natural reaction of your soul when it is sad. Millions of thoughts were filling his mind. 'Why she didn't let him tell her that he loved her from the day he first saw her, that he didn't replace her sister with her, that in his heart was, is and will be only her and her only, maybe if he would have explained better to her he would have a chance with her after all' those were his thoughts at that moment while tears wouldn't stop from falling. 'What did I do wrong? Maybe I confessed to soon or too late, maybe she is in love with somebody else, maybe I should have said to her that I was with love with her from the beginning and then maybe we I would be together now. I don't know what I would do if she would choose to cast me away from her life for good, I don't think I could handle that, it would kill me day by day until it will be nothing left of me, please Mira don't cast me away let me stay beside you, at least as a friend' those were his last thoughts in that evening before he fell asleep. Then in his sleep he had a nightmare where Mira was casting him away from her life and she said that if he did not leave Fairy Tail she would and then he said that he was going to leave Fairy Tail because he loved her too much to make her abandon her family like that. Then he left Fairy Tail, broken and alone, after some time the darkness was about to catch him and the he woke from his nightmare screaming and sweating "NOOOO!... Mira would not do that to me after everything that I have done for her, no. Well I hope not because that will certainly be my E.N.D." said Natsu out loud to no one because he was alone in his house (Happy was at the city house). After that Natsu went back to sleep, he didn't have any more nightmares and the next morning was here. He awakened from his sleep and went straight to the guild.
When he arrived at the guild he said hi to everyone with a fake smile, most of the people bought that fake smile, but Erza and Mira didn't. While Mira knew why he was sad, Erza didn't know, she thought that maybe something had happened between Mira and Natsu because he didn't go straight to Mira as usual. Natsu went to the quest board; he grabbed a quest, went to Mira and said: "I will take this quest Mirajane!"
Hearing that he said her full name, not her nick name made her realize that he is a little upset with her rejection yesterday. "Are you sure that you don't want me to come with you?" asked Mira. "I can manage and I am sure that you don't want to go with a jerk!" responded Natsu ironically "Don't be like that, you know that we are still friends and eventually you will get over with that love that you said that you have for me and we will be like always, best friends" said Mira. Natsu didn't respond, he just left her there at the bar and waved his hand in good bye for her. With that he left the guild and went straight for the train station. At the guild Erza asked: "Mira did something happen with Natsu and you?" "No, everything is ok, he just went for a quest" said Mira with a smile. "If you say so" said Erza and left her alone.
Natsu's quest was to destroy the dark guild Dark Claw, he went to the Dark Claw guild hall and started fighting them, but he used too much power and he emptied his magic too fast and he was then captured by the guild master. He was then brought in the torture chamber where he would be tortured until he passed out every day.
Three days has passed since Natsu had been missing and Mira could not wait anymore; she wanted to go and find him, she managed to convince the master and then Erza, Gray and her went to bring Natsu home. 'It is my entire fault, I should have been nicer with him that cursed day and maybe he would be here with us, and me, I should have listened to of what he had to say' Mira was thinking at that moment.
It didn't take them long before they found the Dark Claw guild hall and start the fight, which they easily won, then Mira went to basement ant found Natsu chained to the walls. Then she transformed into Satan Soul, destroyed the chains freeing him.
He was barely conscious and he said "Mira, you came for me" and then he passed out. Mira caught him in her arms hugging him and said "I am sorry for everything that happened to you, it is my entire fault, please be alright, I don't want to lose you too, you are very important to me, I don't want to lose you. I promise that I will listen to what you have to say, every single word".
