~Back to the present (Lucy POV)~

Now, Natsu and I are currently at my apartment talking about what to do from now on, since we can't just get up and bail out from here. Fairy Tail would be worried for us and would be looking for us and we can't have that. Also it's night time right now.

We can't let them find out our plans on leaving and joining Tartaros, because that would spell trouble.

Thinking about our conversation with that guy Pier that we met back at the small village of Tarra.

~Flashback~

After our makeout session and my acceptance on becoming Natsu's mate and queen, we made our way back into the front alleyway where Pier is waiting patiently.

"Hey Pier, Natsu or END and I decided to join Tartaros or in Natsu's case go back to his original guild. What do we do since we still need to plan on leaving the Fairy Tail guild without them being suspicious of us" I said determined to go wherever Natsu goes.

Pier was a bit shocked after my declaration. Probably didn't expect that, but soon after he gain a smirk and said "Oh my! didn't quite expect these outcome. I expected more or less bright results back to lady Seilah"

"Well better believe it. As you also know I'm getting back my memories as END before, so you better follow through me and my queen's demands!" Natsu says with a bit of deep voice, not sounding like Natsu but also sounded quite the same.

"END-sama that's a wonderful news! I better relay the message that END-sama found his queen! Wonderful! wonderful indeed. I should..." Pier ended up in his muttering spree about 'END-sama' and 'queen' here and there.

But before he can continue, he suddenly stop muttering and faced us with a serious expression on his face and said "END-sama, while I may be happy for you finding your mate and queen. I would suggest making her turn into an etherious demon before going the guild"

"Good suggestion. I almost forgot about Tartaros deep hatred for humans. Even if it's me I doubt they'll fully respect my decision as a human as a mate and more importantly a queen" Natsu replied seriously.

I guess gaining his memories as END made him more mature in the speech department.

"Hmmm. If that's what is needed to be done then lets do just that" I replied casually. I mean it's not like I can do something about it, as long as I can be with Natsu I'll do anything for him.

"Are you sure Luce? I mean I'm totally happy about your decision, but if you're not sure about it i-" Natsu comments but I didn't let her m finish his sentence and instead gave him a small and short kiss on the lips.

After I separated from the kiss I say "Natsu, I am 100% sure about this. I mean, together forever right?"

After that predicament, Natsu smiled and hold my hands with his and replies "Yeah, together forever"

Natsu suddenly faced Pier and said "Pier go back to Seilah and give the details to todays events. But don't mention Lucy as being a human, as I'll turn her before we go Tartaros"

"Understood END-sama" Pier replies immediately.

"Also Pier, is there any way I can communicate to you if we are ready to go?" Natsu asked to which Pier replied "I'll just inform Lady Seilah and ask her what to do from there END-sama"

"Ok, you can go now and inform them. Goodbye pier!"

"To you too END-sama, Lucy-sama" and to that he suddenly disappeared leaving me and Natsu alone.

"Natsu we should go back to inn, Erza and the others might get worried, and we should just talk about this back in Magnolia in my apartment" I said and Natsu agreed.

to that we made our way back to the inn and relax until then

~Flashback end~

Now that we are back in Magnolia and back in my apartment, Natsu and I made our plans on how to leave Fairy Tail without them getting in our backs and getting suspicious.

"Natsu what do you think we should do?" I ask my partner Natsu who is currently on the other side of the table facing me with an smirk.

Oh! did I forget to mention that Natsu had finally gain all his memories as END? Yeah, well he did, and let me tell you I'm surprised. Because after returning in Magnolia after the mission, Natsu and I immediately went to my apartment and during the night while we were preparing to sleep, Natsu suddenly screamed and have grown a pair of horns, markings in his body, his hands became clawed, and right above his left pectoral, the word 'END' is embedded. But luckily after that he is still my Natsu but a bit of change in his attitude and demeanor, and he can also change back to his human form to hide his etherious side.

"You know you're very pretty Luce" Natsu or END replied seductively making me blush but managed to say "Natsu be serious"

Natsu chuckled "Yes, yes princess. And to answer your question, we should just take a quest that seemed dangerous and bail out after making it seems like that we died on the mission"

"Hmmm, that is a nice plan. Oh well, let's do that then" I replied thoughtfully.

"Yeah lets but before that, let's have some fun Luce~" Natsu says making me blush a deep red and was going to reply "N-Natsu n-" until Natsu carried me bridal syle to the bed and thrown me to bed with him on top of me, and did his thing.

That night both Natsu and I did the deed and became one for the very first time.
