The True Origins of Natsu Dragneel

Chapter 13

Natsu jolted awake from he's night mare. Happy flung across the room into Erza. Erza instantly woke up and flew Happy back at Natsu.

"I'm not some rag doll" Happy shouted

"Next time don't wake me up" Erza shouted at Happy angrily. Happy cuddled into Natsu out of fear. Natsu chuckled at this. Everyone else began to wake up. It was 7:30 am.

"What happened?" Lucy asked groggily

"What the hell?" Gray asked annoyed.

"Natsu jolted awake and almost killed" Happy shouted

"Did you have a nightmare?" Lucy asked with concern.

"Doesn't matter. When can I get out of this hell whole?" Natsu asked while softly touching the stitched up wound.

"In a couple of days" Erza stated

"DAYS? No way. I'm not staying in this bed for a couple of days. We got a mission to do" Natsu said eagerly

"We have cancelled the mission" Erza replied

"Why the hell would you do that?" Natsu shouted. Erza grew annoyed with Natsu's protest and shouting. She walked over to Natsu and hit him over the head.

"Because you almost died you idiot" Erza shouted at Natsu. Natsu stared at Erza with shock.

"Technically you did die" Gray said solemnly.

"And what?" Natsu replied softly. "Does that mean you give up?" Natsu asked. Everybody stared at Natsu with shock. They thought he would've reacted with sadness or fear, but instead Natsu was angry with them.

"We saw you die Natsu. We saw heard you heart stop beating. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT ITS LIKE. TO THINK THAT SOMEONE YOU LOVE IS DEAD BUT THEY REALLY ISNT?" Lucy shouted at Natsu. Lucy's eyes suddenly widened. She realised she used the word love, she hoped that nobody picked up on that.

Natsu's fist clench the bed sheets tightly. He removed moved happy from he's lap and stood up. Everyone stared at Natsu's back with horrified faces.

Natsu felt everybody staring at him and looked back at them.

"What're you guys looking at?" Natsu asked, he didn't take notice of he's body being shirtless.

"You back..." Lucy whispered. A year fell down her eye. Natsu's brain finally registered was wrong. He quickly grabbed he's new vest from he's bag that was in the chair. The vest covered he's back once again.

"Who did that to you?" Gray asked, he's voice was low and threatening. He could tell that they weren't from the battles that they had fought. It was from the form of abuse.

"Juvia recognised the scars, did someone abuse Natsu?" Juvia asked softly. Natsu sighed softly.

'How can I be so stupid' Natsu thought to himself. He didn't want to lie to he's family but he didn't want to tell the truth either.

"Get me out of this hell hole and I'll tell you about it" Natsu promised.

"No way" Lucy said firmly. "Your still weak from what happened"

"I'm leaving this place with or without your approval" Natsu said. He grabbed he's bag and walked out of the hospital. The team stood there still saddened and shocked over the scars.
