Lucy de Fiore's POV

"Natsu?" I said, astonished.

"Hello Lucy." Natsu said in a dark voice. His focus dragged from me to Sting. Natsu's eyes turned icy cold as he stared at Sting. Sensing malice, Sting glared at Natsu as his hand was ready to flip out a knife.

I wanted to say something but my words are stuck at my throat. My palms started to perspire as I looked at Natsu nervously.

Don't tell me he knows?

I swallowed the lump in my throat and gathered my courage. I stood in between the both of them and said with a forced expression, "Relax, Natsu is not the enemy and Sting is a..."

He's a what? Am I supposed to say my lover? But in front of Natsu in this state...

"... a friend." I completed. I averted my eyes from Sting and smiled at Natsu, "So please..."

"Are you Sting Roman?" Completing ignoring my words, Natsu stared straight ahead coldly. I looked at Sting with slight panic and saw Sting carrying himself in a composed manner. However I knew that his temper was starting to rise.

"And you're Natsu Dexent." Sting confirmed.

"Are you working with Sabertooth?" Natsu asked again.

My breath hitched in my throat and I looked at Natsu in shock, "Wha--"

"There's no need for me to disclose anything about myself to you." Sting replied coldly.

"You want to play this way? I'm fine with it, I'll play along with you. Sting Roman, the son of a aristocrat family. In other words, a nobleman," Natsu said.

I looked at Natsu in shock as Sting's body tensed.

"However due to many problems, that family was annihilated, leaving only its young son alive. Everyone thought there were no survivors but who knew that young boy joined an assassin organization." Natsu continued as his eyes showed madness.

Sting's face turned pale. I glared at Natsu and said in a loud voice, "Natsu stop it! Don't go on anymore!"

"You're the very man that killed Lisanna and her family..." Natsu trailed off and looked down.

Oh my god...

"Mark my words, one day I'll kill you and avenge all of them. You took away what was mine and I'm going to make you regret it." Natsu spared me a quick glance before going behind my back quickly and pointed a knife at my spine.

"Lucy!"

"I'm sure this will turn out to be quite interesting. After all, you have your reason to kill me too don't you?" Natsu said cynically. "And look what do we have here, it so happens that the childhood friend Lucy was looking for all this while was you. In addition to that it seems that the both of you have made quite the progress in your relationship." Natsu said as he pushed the knife closer to my skin.

"Let her go!" Sting demanded angrily.

Natsu came close to my ear and said in a sad voice, "I won't hurt you. I'm sorry Luce." My heart skipped a beat and I tried to look at Natsu. I said soft enough for him to hear, "You don't have to do this Natsu."
