Silver Fire [A Fairy Tail Fanfiction]

What?!

{{Hi, um, a little authors note before I start this off. I realized only recently that I've totally been spelling Erza's name wrong. I've been spelling it- Urza. Which is wrong. And I'm so freaking sorry. From now on, it will be fixed! And I shall try not to be such a screwup! Thanks! ^*^}}
Lucy's POV
"NATSU!!" I've been yelling his name for almost an hour now. Where did he go!? He just up and left as fast as he could.

Erza yells his name once more while Happy scouts from the sky. Gray walks next to me.

"I swear when we find Natsu..." Gray muttered under his breath, tired from walking around for so long. The sun had already begun to sink behind the city.

"He's not a little kid, we could just go back to the g-" My sentence cuts off as I yawn. Gray follows with a much larger yawn then mine.

"You got a point. Erza! Happy!" He motions for them to come over to us. "Let's get back to the guild hall. For all we know, he's already there."

We all nodded in agreement and slowly we walked back, still checking around corners and yelling Natsu's name.

Finally we made it back and weren't to surprised to see that Natsu hadn't been seen since they left. Mira-Jane only shrugged when I asked if she had seen him.

"And I've been here all day," Mira-Jane told us.

Eventually Erza told everyone to forget about him for the night and get to bed. Sure I was worried about Nutsu, but he was probably fine. Probably out eating dinner somewhere. Happy complained he didn't have anywhere to stay with Natsu gone. Erza offered her place to stay. Then we went our separate ways.

Natsu's POV
"I didn't know where to go or what to do after meeting that girl. All I knew was that I was hungrier then a hippo and could eat a whole horse.

I decided to go eat at Diesels Diner, a new one that had just been opened in town. After eating my full, I went back to my place. Then, this morning, I came back to the guild. I don't know why you guys were fussing over me, I'm totally fine."

Happy clung to my arm, obviously very happy to see me. Erza was pacing the room. Lucy wasn't finished rolling her eyes and Gray leaned back in a chair shirtless, not really in the conversation. Typical damn ice brain.

"But, Natsu, who was this person? Did you catch her name?" Erza paced a little slower, looking up at me.

"Oh yeah. I forgot that part, huh?" I scratched my head. I didn't really want to tell them, but I knew I had to.

"You know her name?" Lucy stood up. "Do we know her?"

"No, I don't think anyone has heard of this lady. Or girl. It was hard to tell how old she was, being hidden under a creepy black cloak."

Happy nodded. "Aye, I bet."

"Her name, please, Natsu? And do you think that was who the council was talking about?" Lucy crossed her arms. Oh yeah her name.

"She... She said she preferred to be called The Silver Dragon Slayer." That earned me a few gasps. "But the magic energy she reeked of seemed way stronger. She must be a super powerful wizard."

"Rightly so if the Council is concerned. And dangerous too. You got lucky Natsu." Erza creased her brow. "But why does a wanted wizard have her younger, blind sister running around with her? Nothing adds up."

I shrug. "I didn't exactly haves chance to talk to her. Like, at all. Oh, and her little sister Kina called her Verra. That might be her real name. Probably."

"Verra..." Lucy muttered under her breath. "We can work off that. Now we know her name, and what she's wearing. Unless she changes. And she's traveling with her younger sister."

Erza nodded in agreement. I shrugged and leaned back, petting Happy's head.

Suddenly Gray stood up and ran to one of the guilds windows.

"HEY!" He yelled. More guild members started crowding around him, looking at what he was yelling and pointing at. I pushed through and stopped next to him.

"SOMEONE DO SOMETHING!!" Someone in the crowd yelled. Cries of dispair and crying started coming from my guild mates.

At first, I just stood, gaping at the sight in front of me. Then rage began to fill my belly.

A girl, no older than 10 or 11, was hanging limp from a nearby tree, with a noose tight around her neck.

It was Kina.
