E.N.D

Vulcans [1]

(Next day)

I get up and check my lacrama crystal incase any new information came up. None. I then checked the E.N.D book. Still in my drawer.

"Alrighty then" I take a quick bath and get dressed then i grab my keys and whip, heading to the guild hall.

I open the doors like any regular day. Then walk in surprised to see master and Natsu looking gloomy from where there sitting and gray trying to fight natsu but he just brushes it off.

I ignore the master and head straight to natsu tapping him on the shoulder
"Hey you ok?" I ask

He looks up at me with dull eyes "Oh hey Lucy"

"You alright?" I ask worried

"Yeah" he says without his regular 'shine'

"Wanna go on a mission? It may cheer you up?" I ask him

"Sure why not. Ill call everyone over" he says getting up to hunt them down

"Dense as always. Kinda wanted to go alone with him" i mutter. I look up and see master looking at me with sad eyes. I sigh as i walked over to him.

"Lucy i need to talk to y-"

"Summing up, I'm not as mad you. He's not dead but I'm still angry" he looks confused then nods.

"Its something different though" i sigh again

"Fine" we walk upstairs. To his office

"Im taking your advice. I need some information before taking action" I prop my head up with my hand as I close my eyes listening to him

"About END or someone else?"

"Someone else"

"Who?" I ask bored

"Zeref" my eyes shot open. I mean i should have guessed this would happen eventually. Why didn't i see it sooner? "What?"

"Nothing." I say as i un prop my head to look at him properly "Lets see, 400 years old, cursed and all family dead but his brother."

"He- has a brother?"

"You didn't know? Oh- wait- you didn't read the book. Yes he does"

"Who and where is he?!"

"END and location is unknown" i say lying since i do it a lot lately

"His brother is END?"

"Correct"

"You said he was cursed correct?"

"Yes"

"With what?"

"Curse of contraction. By a god of life and death. Forced to take the lives of those around him" he looks at me in shock

"LUCE WHERE ARE YOU?!" Natsu calls from downstairs

"Well now i gotta go" i say leaving. "That was boring"
I then walk downstairs to natsu. "Over here!"

He looks at me in relief.

"Erzas busy with cake. Wendys off on a mission with happy and carla and gray- i dont wanna ask him"

"Alright but did you get a job?"

"You mean just the two of us?"

"Yes why so confused? We do this a lot."

"Shouldn't you go with someone else? Your boyfriend? Kanashimi?" He asks a little to loud

"You have a boyfriend?!" Levy screams "and didnt tell me!!"

"I swear to god kill me now" i state annoyed

"Lucy you got a boyfriend?" Cana asks "thats great! Finally"

"I think we should celebrate!" Another girl screamed

"Whos the lucky boy?" Mira asks

"Natsu lets go" i say grabbing Natsu's arm and pulling him out of the guild hall. Then smacking him upside the head

"Whats that for?!"

"For yelling that out to everyone"

"But you have a boyfriend so im spreading the truth!" He claims

"I lied. Alright? We done? Can we go?!" I yell

"Wait you lied?!"

"So what! Ill tell you later now lets FINALLY go" i say going to the train station while natsu followed me from behind.

Well that lie didn't last long
