Remember Me, Please

Chapter One: Recovery and Rage

"She is where?!" An oh so familiar voice shouted, eyes full of shock and surprise; months after his [secret] sweetheart went missing, she finally turns up somewhere on the very outskirts of the city, "Repeat it again, one more time."

"Natsu... He already told you." Erza spoke as the whiteness hugged himself; he was told to not speak of what he saw that day but he couldn't keep the secret any longer. It was killing him. Erza looked at him, "Repeat it one more time, just so we're sure."

"I-I saw a girl, the one you described to have brown hair, being dragged off into the forest by some guy! I was so scared, and then he just looked at me...." The whiteness said as he held back sobs, "H-He tossed the girl into something out there, and just disappeared!"

Then he pulled out something from his pocket, Natsu instantly recognized it belonged to her; she always wore a star necklace, it was so simple but Natsu could recognize it from anywhere, "W-when I went over there to see if she was okay... She wasn't even there! All that was left was this necklace..."

Erza held out her hand and the necklace was given to her, the guy bit back sobs and left the place in a hurry. She looked at Makarov with the necklace, "It's hers, any one of us could tell it belongs to her..."

Natsu gripped the table edge until it cracked, rage was building up inside him faster than it could be suppressed; Lucy was mad herself, they took and possibly harmed her best friend, but never in her life has she seen Natsu THAT pissed before.

Whatever happened to her must've been a low blow to him, is what Lucy figured.

Natsu couldn't take it any longer and stormed out of the Fairy Tail building, Lucy was about to say something but Gray shook his head, "Why not?"

"Isn't it obvious Lucy? Natsu is in love with (Name)..." Levy spoke to her with her head looking down, "You know how bad he is at hiding secrets..."

He's... In love with her?

"Erza, Gray, Lucy. Go with Natsu and bring her back." Makarov ordered, eyes still closed but he gave off this vibe that everyone seemed to remember; his family was hurt, again, and this time stolen from him, "If what he said was true, then we have no time to waste sitting here."

The trio nodded and chased after Natsu, missing other orders from the guild master. Lucy glanced at everyone, biting her lip; Erza looked too calm and collective to be considered natural, and Gray looked about ready to murder someone if given the chance to.

"(Name)... We're coming! Just hang on for a little longer... Please..."

~Back to Natsu~

Natsu looked around the forest area for any signs of (Name), her scent being masked and harder to track with every other animal in here or time being lost. He felt his own necklace, the one he keeps hidden under his muffler, "burn" his skin; a constant reminder that (Name) was there and with him no matter what goes on.

Then, there was a blood curdling scream. He knew it was her, it was her voice in pain and suffering greatly for some reason or another. He lost his sense of control for a brief moment, they're hurting his love and they're going to pay for it.

"(Name)! I'm coming to find you!" Natsu shouted before running off again towards the pained screams of hers, "Just wait for me!"

~With (Name)-chan~

She screamed again, tears streaming down her face as she felt the burning hot iron plate press into her already beaten skin. She doesn't remember much, but her will to live was dying; they constantly told her she was weak, pathetic, and that no one was coming to rescue her. Then, to find out that Natsu kissed Lucy shattered her heart to bits... Even though it was a complete lie told, it burned her heart.
