A Couple Truths

Hi OMG I am feeling so inspired second chapter in one day!

I want to dedicate this to FruitySweet for being such a great writer!

_____________________________________________________________________________________

"Oh... No reason Natsu," I remembered the flashback and suddenly I understood.  Natsu was the answer to my curse.  I started to run my hand over the ground (it is a habit when I'm thinking deeply).  There were irregular grooves in the ground. 

"Natsu?" I thought out loud.

"Hmm?" he looked over at me.

"Can you move over to the staircase?" I asked him suddenly.  He got up and stood on the stairs.  I switched magics and flew up in the air.  I flipped over so I was facing the floor and muttered a quick incantation.  Some figures started to glow on the ground.  I was also using my magic sense.  The figures read; నిజాయితీగా కాంతి ఎంచుకోండి.

I translated the figures and got a phrase that made no sense what so ever.  I floated back down to the ground and turned off my magic sense.  I continued to just lay there on my stomach thinking.

"Choose the truthful light," I just barely muttered thinking.  Natsu ran over to me thinking that my magic power had drained or some thing.

I'm fine.  I thought at him too busy with my thoughts to do more then that.

Light is a secret, Light is death, Light is in the air, Light is strong.  Choose the truthful light.  What does it all mean! Maybe I thought We are supposed to choose that path which letters say something true!  If that's so the I know the second door is the wrong path.  I pondered it for half of an hour finally deciding that the truthful path was the first path.  I stood up and opened the first door.

"Follow me," I told Natsu.  He just looked at me confused.  He is so dense! I think to myself.  Sighing I start down the tunnel.  After about twenty minutes of walking I reach a big open room much like the first except for in stead of doors there was a huge pile of stuff in the middle of the room.  I looked around and found the jewelry box and alerted Natsu. 

We met in front of the tunnel and headed back outside.  I changed into a horse and leaned down for Natsu to get on.  He hesitated obviously not wanting to ride his friend I rolled my eyes the looked up.  I had a panicked moment of terror.  Natsu! The sun is starting to rise  Get on.  He also looked up and something flashed in his eyes.  He climbed on and gripped my mane with one fist.  I took off at a gallop and made it into town.

I changed back into my human form and nocked on the man's door.  I heard a crash and a muffled curse then the door opened a crack and an eye appeared.  I flashed him my mark and the door swung open the rest of the way.

"Thank goodness I was about to give you up for dead!" He noticed Natsu carrying a box and exclaimed loudly.

"Here you go Sir," Natsu said handing him the box.

"Here is you pay," He put the bag of jewels into my hands and closed the door.  I yawned and stretched upwards.

"We should get some sleep," also yawning.  I just nodded in response.  I had just enough power to change into a horse and trot us over to the inn on the other side of town.  I yawned again and changed back into my human form now almost completely out of magic power.

"Two rooms please," I told the manager.

"I'm sorry there is only one room vacant with a single queen," he said politely.

"How much," I asked him over caring.

"100 jewels," He said.  I counted out the money and plopped it on the counter and grabbed the key he offered me.  Natsu had fallen asleep leaning on me so I carried him up the stairs and deposited him on the bed.  I went to the bathroom and drew a hot bath.  I stepped in and sighed.  After the bath I felt a little magic return so I wasn't as tired.

After I had changed into my pj's I went out to go to bed.  I had forgotten that there was also Natsu in the bed so I crawled in and fell asleep.  I woke up unusually warm.  Then it all came back to me in a flood of information.  I blushed when I realized that I had slept with Natsu.

I tried to get up but there was something around my waist holding me in place.  I looked down and turned cheery red.  It was Natsu's arm which held me in place.  I gently lifted his arm and set it down.  I stood up and started cooking breakfast.  While the eggs and sausage where cooking I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower.

I changed into my usual longish blue skirt and white and pink stripped shirt.  I came out of the bathroom to find that Natsu was still asleep.  I looked down at him and smiled.  He looked really cute when he was asleep.  I kissed his forehead and went back to cooking.  After about ten minutes everything was done.

I was about to go in and wake Natsu up when he came in yawning.  His eyes snapped open when he inhaled deeply.

"What's that good smell?" He asked looking around.  I sat down and gestured to the food.

"Breakfast," I replied taking a little bit of eggs and scoping it onto my plate.  He sat down across from me and shoved most of the food onto his plate and started eating like there was no tomorrow.  I sighed and started eating my food much slower.  I wasn't vey hungry I was too busy thinking about my curse.  I excused my self and went up to the sink to start washing dishes. 

I sighed and thought about my mom.  Natsu must have noticed I was sad because he came up behind he and hugged me from behind. I shrieked and stomped down really hard on his toe.  I spun around realizing what I had done.  I changed magics and instantly leaned down and healed his toe.

I looked away in shame and turned back around.  I went back to cleaning dishes thinking about what a fool I was.  I finished the dishes and packed up my stuff.  Natsu came in behind me and packed his stuff.

"Are you okay?" He asked once he had all his stuff packed and we were both sitting on the couch thinking.

"I'm sorry I'm just not used to being hugged," I sighed and looked down at my hands.  I stood up and offered my hand to Natsu he gladly took it and I pulled him up.

"It's okay I understand.  And thank you for healing me," I looked at him surprised that he was so nice even after I had just stomped his toe.  I sighed and smiled up at him.

I walked out the doors of the inn with Natsu close behind me.  We walked together comfortably back to the forest where we first landed.  I changed back into my dragon form and lowered my head to him.  He just stared at me dumbly again.

Get on.  I urged him.  He shook his head and climbed on.

"Sorry I forgot you could do that," he responded gripping one of my spikes.  I took off in a flurry of wings.
