Suspense, suspense, and more suspense! I hope you all enjoy, and please R&R and I shall see you at the bottom of the page.

POV: Natsu

Disclaimer:I do not own Fairy Tail

"You called?" I ask, opening the door to the headmaster's office without knocking while looking around the room as I close the door behind me.

Across the room sitting on a finely polished desk is Makarov looking through some paper, some of the many that clutter his desk, and it isn't long before his hard gaze moves towards me, "Yes, I wanted to discuss a matter in which has caught my attention," he says, any trace of amusement or kindness stripped away from his voice leaving only a business-like tone behind, the kind that makes you dread even showing up in the first place, "I've gotten word that you seem to have made an enemy while at Lamia Scale," he continues just as I take a seat in one of his guest chairs, chairs that I've come to know very well.

"It was nothing," I say while shrugging my shoulders as I try to avoid his gaze by staring over at a nearby bookshelf, "There had been a misunderstanding with one of the groups passing through Lamia Scale, that's all,"

Makarov slams his fist onto his desk creating an infinite boom that causes me to jump as he roars, "WHAT DID YOU DO?!" And I have to do everything in my power to not cower in fear from his outburst. As short as Makarov Dreyar is, he still holds within him a strength that could rival a hundred men and trust me when I say that you never want to be on his bad side, a notion that I learned the hard way.

"It wasn't my fault," I shout back when I recover feeling angry at his quick accusation, "Like I told you it was a misunderstanding. I went out on a job with Lyon and his team when Eisenwald walked by and..."

"YOU GOT IN A FIGHT WITH Eisenwald?!" He screeches, every vein on his forehead popping out of his red-angered face, and I swear when I say that it looks like he grewa few inches, "You better have a good explanation as to what happened or I swear I'm going to..."

"Like I said it wasn't my fault," I slam my hand down on his desk shutting him up immediately, "It was Lyon who picked a fight with them, I was just a spectator among the fight before the leader of Eisenwald decided to bring me into the fight," I explain, staring deep into Makarov's glaring black eyes, "I tried to get away from it but before I knew it it was an all out battle and now I'm on their black list, but I doubt they even know where I'm at, and even if they did know they'd be stupid enough to ever step into Magnolia's borders without your consent."

"You better pray that what you say is true," Makarov says, his hard eyes growing harder than steel with the warning he's sending me as he sits back in his chair, "The last thing I want is to get into another clash with those delinquents. Clover Town still has yet to recover from the last time we fought them those two years ago," his small wrinkled hands grip the edge of his desk as he seems to be trying to control himself and if he holds on any tighter the wood would surely snap. He sighs and looks back up at me, his expression much more pained and defeated, "Listen Natsu, I'm sorry that I've been so hard on you lately, the last thing I want is for you to thin that I'm completely against you, but you must understand that I do things for a reason..."

"Like having Freed practically kill Lucy before stripping her memories away and scaring her to death before that?" I bitterly ask without warning surprising even myself and he looks down, shameful, as I feel my whole insides burn with the anger I've been holding back for months now, "But that didn't matter to you, now did it? You didn't, and still don't care about it as long as she's 'safe' from the truth about us all, and even then you continue to play a sick game by having me watch over and stay away from her when you know it kills me to do so," I feel the backs of my eyes burn and I know that if I don't stop soon I'll probably start crying, but I can't stop, it's too late for that now, the dam has long been broken. Makarov stares at me seeming to be studying me with his dark eyes. His arms are crossed across his tiny chest and he closes his eyes seeming to be thinking and this only angers me further, "Why did you have me come back?" I ask, my voice almost an inaudible whisper as I clutch my hands into my fistsat my sides, "Why didn't you just keep me away by force in the first place preventing from any of this happening, from me falling in love with Lucy?"

Makarov opens his eyes and looks at me with a calmness I've only come to recognize from him. He stays quiet for a moment as the air grows thicker with the tension building up from me as I want to scream and destroy every piece of furniture inside his office, but I keep my ground as I wait for an answer. Finally, he opens his eyes and answers, "Because contrary to belief I still care about you Natsu and no matter how much you hate it you're still one of my brats." He answers with a straight face, "No matter how much you think otherwise it pains me to see you go through with this, but ultimately I have no choice in the matter. I know you're a good kid and truth is that I actually wouldn't mind it all that much if you and Lucy were to go out..."

"Then why keep doing..."

"But it isn't my choice," he interjects, his voice growing louder with every word, "I promised bother her mother and her father that I would keep her away from Magnolia's secrets. If Jude Heartfelia would ever find out about what's been going on to her he'd take her away from me and I'd never be able to see her again. It is the secrets that I hold that are the very reason Jude never brought Lucy to visit at least once since Lyla passed away," his voice cracks and I can see how hard he's trying not to cry.

Appalled at this news, I ask, "Why," and he looks down at one of the many picture frames that litter his desk. I watch him as his eyes soften and then turn remorseful then angry in a consecutive order.

He finally sighs, sounding far more tired than he ever has before, and then he looks up at me with a harsh determination in his eyes, "Layla Heartfelia didn't die of a major illness like many people think she did," he gruffly answers and the look in his eye makes me suddenly fear his answer.

My mouth is dry and my hands have begun to sweat as I stand there, nervous. There's a ringing in my ears and the ferret in my chest rams repeatedly and painfully against my chest. I lick my lips several times, my tongue like sandpaper, as a chill runs down my spine before I open my mouth. "H-How did she die," I can't help from asking and I suddenly regret doing so for the answer he gives me is one I never in a thousand years would expect him to say.

I stand in the middle of his office, feeling my clenched hands shake and the room is far too quiet that the ringing in my ears rings painfully with the dulling silence. I hold in my breath as I feel my mouth grow even dryer as I impatiently wait for the dreaded answer. Finally, after waiting for almost an eternity, Makarov, with no emotion on his face or in his voice at all, says, "I killed her," and all I can do is just stare at him with my heart in my throat.

Bum Bum BUUUUUM! And thus came the revelation of why Makarov has wiped Lucy's memories along with a dark family secret. The suspense continues along with an endless stream of questions and not enough answers.

By the way, who's seen Mockingjay Part 1? If you haven't gone to see it you're missing out. Just saying.
