Here's chapter two!

----------------------------------------------

Gray felt himself wake up, he didn't realize he went asleep, he shrugged and looked at the time. He only slept for a hour. Gray looked over to were Natsu was supposed to be, which was close to him. Natsu wasn't to be seen, his presence wasn't to be found.
"Natsu....?" He looked in his room, in the bathroom, in the kitchen, he looked everywhere.
He's probably at the guild Gray just decided to head out and go to the guild. He walked out and noticed someone, someone he had been looking for.
"Natsu...? What are you doing?"
Silence.
"Natsu?"
He wasn't staring at anything, his eyes were in the direction of the forest, nothing was there. Natsu didn't move an inch or said anything, his eyes diverted to Gray, his eyes looked of nothing but sorrow. Gray turned his head confused, not understanding what was wrong with Natsu or what he was looking at. Natsu gave Gray the slip of paper Gray didn't know he had. Gray looked in Natsu's eyes, unsure if he should look at it or not. Hesitantly, he grabbed the tiny slip of paper and unfolded it carefully. It didn't have anything in it. Gray looked at Natsu, thinking he was joking.
"Natsu, nothings in here. Is this some sort of joke?"
Natsu shook his head, still looking towards the woods.
"There's something on that paper! He wrote something on it!"
"He? Who's he? What are you talking about?"
"Zeref....don't you see him in there?" He tilted his head towards the quietness of trees. Nothing was in there except trees upon trees. Maybe some birds here and there, but mostly trees.
"Natsu.....Zeref is dead, and I see nothing...."
Natsu looked pale.
"B-but....I-I see him! I'm not crazy!"
"You're not crazy, but there's nothing there."
Natsu laughed bitterly.
"You don't believe me."
"I don't see anything Natsu!"
"I know, but why can I see him? Unless you think I'm crazy or something...." Natsu turned away from the words to face Gray. He didn't look mad, but he sounded like it.
"I understand if you don't believe me, but it would help if you didn't act like I'm crazy. I'm not."
"I know! I know this! I want to believe you!"
"Why can't you?"
Gray looked away for a second, then sighed. Looking back at him.
"Because I don't."
Natsu looked sorrowful, then nodded. He left and head towards the guild, saying nothing else. Gray closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, stressed.

Natsu walked to the guild, feeling a bit sick and looked a bit pale. He's not crazy, he's not crazy, he's not crazy, he's not....
But he is.
Natsu held the slip of paper tight in his hands, to make sure it doesn't get away from him. Natsu looked at it, debating if he should throw it out. He looked around, before opening it again, making sure the words were still there. He looked at the words, the words burned into his skull.
"Can you see us?"
Natsu folded it back up, and grunted. He can, no one else can. If there was some way he could show them. He wasn't crazy, but he can't prove anything.
Natsu closed his eyes.
Then he felt something touch his face, his eyes snapped open to see it was raining. He looked and saw him looking back at him. He said nothing, but he gave Natsu another slip of paper. Natsu looked it, it was small and folded neatly. He opened it and it said:
"If they don't see me, then I'd have to make them believe me."
Natsu's eyes widened
.....no.....
