"Natsu, Gray stop fighting will you! You are scaring the villagers!" I scream at the site I see before me We are currently walking through the village that sent us the request for help against a bunch of bad mages. We are supposed to be looking throughout the village to try and find out where they are based. We keep trying to ask random people in the village for their account of events and from what we can gather, they are terrifying! No wonder the people that we asked almost ran for the hills every time we mentioned that we are mages that were here to help. It took us ages to convince them that we were actually here to help and we were not here to cause terror. Natsu and Gray weren't exactly helping with our case.

Before they could have any retort, Erza shoots them a daring look and they immediately stop fighting. We have been looking around now for quite a few hours so we decide to walk back to the hotel that the mayor of the town let us stay at rent free! There is always a catch of course. We all have to share a room together since the town could not afford to have more than one room spare. It probably was not the best idea for them to do that but apparently everyone has shared a room before on multiple occasions so I wasn't so anxious after a while.

We decided to take it in turns to do night watches. We decided that for a few days we would do boys one night, girls another. It worked out fine when myself, Lucy and Erza were on duty for the night but the night Natsu and Gray were out patrolling together…let's just say that we did not think it through. We woke up the next morning to multiple complaints from villagers saying that they couldn't sleep because of shouting or their house was on fire or icy. It was safe to say that we needed to sort out the groups again and separate the boys.

So tonight it has now changed. Erza and Gray have now joined up for the evening patrol and myself, Natsu and Lucy are up for the night patrol.

"So Lucy. Natsu tells me you are writing a novel. What is it about?" I ask trying to waste some time walking along the high street. Lucy starts to blush.

"Uh… I don't really want anyone to know anything about it until I've finished it. I want to make sure that it is perfect." Lucy answers.

"Oh come on Lucy. Not even a little snippet?" I try. Lucy just shakes her head. Our conversation is suddenly stopped dead by a group of boys who are shouting and cheering to each other. Geez their drunk. We try to keep quiet and just walk past them quietly but they seem to see us and walk towards us.

"Alright ladies! What you doing out here so late at night? Come and have a drink with us?" One man shouts out. I see Natsu clench his fists together getting ready for a fight but I grab his wrist, causing him to look at me and I shake my head to him to calm him down. We agreed that after the Natsu-Gray incident, we would not cause a ruckus unless necessary. We got threatened that we would lose our accommodation and we would not be paid otherwise.

We all tried to ignore them and walk away without causing a fuss but they decided to follow us! Two out of the three drunk boys kept shouting at us for us to join them. They even starting to insult Natsu but somehow Lucy and I managed to keep him under control. That was…. until I felt something hard hit my back…..and everything went black.

Natsu POV

"Nozomi!" I shout grabbing her arm trying to slow down her fall. I turn around to see one of those bastards previously following us holding Lucy up against him with a knife to her neck! I slowly let Nozomi down so she is lying down on the ground safely.

"Lucy!" I shout

"Natsu" She shouts back. I see her trying to catch hold of her keys but she sees one of the other men with them.

"Looking for these?" He asks throwing them somewhere away from us. I refuse to move to get them back. There is only one thought in my mind right now. Get Lucy to safety. Make sure Luce is safe.

Before I can do anything, I am being attacked by two of the bastards. The third is still holding onto Lucy. My sensitive ears can hear her whimpering in fears while I can smell the salt from the tears she is silently crying. Don't worry Lucy. I will save you. It doesn't take me long to defend myself knocking out the two people attacking me. The third holding Lucy laughs as the second guy collapses.

"Just what I expected from you…..Natsu Dragneel." My eyes open in shock as he says my name. How does he know me?

"Who are you?" I shout back trying to keep my distance for now while trying to calculate how to get Lucy away from that guy.

He laughs again. This bastard is starting to annoy me. "It doesn't matter who I am. There is someone else you need to worry about. My master has risen again. You have met him before but not like this. My master will be the end of you Natsu Dragneel."

My blood was starting to boil and my hands were burst into flames. For Lucy's sake, I am currently trying to not attack. I cannot guarantee that I will miss her in my attack so I stay where I am. The bastard then puts her chin in his hands and pulls her face to his. My teeth are grinding together and the fire on my hands gets larger. Get your hands off her! Lucy starts to squirm as her face turns closer to his. Again there is nothing that I can do. I won't miss her if I attack.

"Such a cute girl isn't she Natsu?"

"Lucy!" I start to move forward.

"Tsk tsk Natsu" He says and he throws what looks like a gun shot near me causing me to stand still knowing that Lucy is in more danger. "Here I was thinking you are not interested in anyone. It seems you care about her. Now Master can not have that. We need you as part of our team Natsu and we don't need you distracted." Lucy and I stare back wide-eyed. What? No way on this Earth will I leave Fairytail! What the hell do they mean by 'they don't want me to be distracted'!

"I'll make you a deal. You join us and I'll let this lovely lady here go. I'm feeling nice today."

That's it! "You bastard! I would never leave my nakama!"

He laughed again. "I had a feeling this would happen. So it's good a thing I have a plan B." I see him punch Lucy in the stomach causing her to pass out. As I run to her lying on the floor, I feel a hand on my shoulder and then another on my other shoulder. I look around trying to throw a punch but I can't move! I try to make some fire and I can't even do that! I can't do anything! The next thing I know I see some black fog creeping over me and I am doubled over in agony! In my head I am hearing many things in a very creepy voice.

"Hello again Natsu. Looks like you've got yourself in a situation here haven't you." I discover that I can move my hands and I move them to my head trying to find out what I can do to get rid of this talking in my head.

"There is no point trying to do anything Natsu. I am here to stay in your head. You might as well accept me. You are going to join me eventually anyway. I can't have you against me so I might aswell have you with me."

"No!" I shout out to no one in particular hoping that the voices in my head stop.

"Now now Natsu. Calm down. You don't want anything else to happen to do. You've already caused so much damage in your life so far. You might as well stop all of this" I start to see images in my head of Lucy , Erza, Gray, Lisanna, Elfman and everyone else at the guild crying or shouting at me from all of the crazy things I have done over the years. I start to see buildings that I have destroyed or set on fire, people I have defeated over many years. I drop to my knees as all of the emotions from all of the scenes in front of me come up at once. Seeing all of the people at the guild that are disappointed and shouting at me makes me realise all of the bad things that I have done over the years. I know I am a destructive guy. That comes with the nature of being a dragon slayer. I try my hardest not to break stuff but it's always an accident. I can't help it.

"They can't see your true potential Natsu. They only see you as a destructive good for nothing person. Igneel, your father, even left you. Didn't even say goodbye!" I see a picture of Igneel in front of me from my memories. It was when I accidently burnt down part of a forest and he is mad at me too. I try to block it out but the pictures just keep coming and the voices just get louder. Then the picture changes back to my guildmates. "They can't see what you can really do Natsu. They only pretend to like you since you are so powerful.. I can see what you are truly like. Join me and you no longer have to worry about anything anymore. You don't have to worry about nakama or anyone you previously knew. The girl in your heart you know you care for the most" I see a picture of Lucy suddenly appear. I am shocked. I knew I felt something more than like a nakama for Lucy but I didn't really want to do anything about it. I wasn't ready to do anything about it so I ignored it. "She never really liked you in the first place. She knew you were stupid enough to be there for her. She is spoilt little rich girl who knows that you will save her life without fail. She wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for you and she is only pretending to be your friend as a thank you."

"No!" I scream in protest. I keep hearing everyone shouting to me about how pathetic I am, how I always ruin everything, how I never get anything right. Maybe they are right but I am who I am and I don't care about that.

For a while I am there doubled over in agony. It feels like my bones are scraping together and I have the biggest headache going. I can tell whoever it is that they are trying to take over my mind for even thought I can feel the heaviness of their possession, I hold on for as long as I can against them.

"Just imagine what it would be like Natsu. Me and you against the world. I am like you. I am an outsider. We both had similar upbringings and we are both hated by the world. We are both destructive so let's be destructive together. Together we would be spectacular! We would be the kings of the whole of Earthland! We would have unlimited power! People would be doing everything for us in a heartbeat! You like your food right? Think of the amount of food we would have at our disposal! It would be unlimited! We would have the world out searching for Igneel! You wouldn't have to search the world singularly anymore! Everyone you know and love would be safe under your protection! Just join me Natsu" I feel my power starting to decrease more and more as I fight over and over again to stay sane and not let this bastard in my head! But this is battle I am slowly losing. I am even trying to use the power I have from tomorrow! I can spare it if it means everyone I love is safe.

After a while I lose the battle despite my determination and I pass out from fatigue hearing in my ears.

"That's a good boy Natsu".
