The True Origins of Natsu Dragneel

Chapter 15

"Natsu" Happy whispered. He stayed with Wendy who looked horrified.

"Happy....did you know?" Wendy asked. Happy shook his head sadly, he felt betrayed that Natsu hadn't said anything to him.

Natsu kept on running, he wouldn't stop, the looks they gave him and the way he made Lucy cry, crushed him inside.

They stared at him, as if he was a weak and defend less person. He finally stopped running, he was surround by the trees and he looked up at the starry night.

"AHHH!!!" Natsu shouted out in an anger, he punched the tree and the tree fell too the ground. His body began becoming surrounded by fire.

He could feel it, the darkness creeping into his soul, the anger and hatred consuming his heart, the pain of losing his loved ones. All that darkness suddenly stopped, he could smell it, the tears if an angel, Lucy was crying.

Lucy kept running, she knew if she stopped, the tears would just fall down.

"How the hell could I have not known, my best friend, he knows everything about me, and I didn't even know he had a.....girl friend" Lucy thought to her self, her pace began slowing down.

"Lucy" a voice spoke. Lucy jumped at the sudden voice, she faced the person who owned that voice.

"Erza" Lucy whispered out in relief that it wasn't some crazy Mage.

"You shouldn't have ran off into the woods like that" Erza stated firmly but without anger.

"I know Erza...I'm sorry" Lucy apologised. She was still holding her tears back.

"Why are you crying?" Erza asked

"I'm not" Lucy stated, but her eyes failed her words as a tear slipped down her face.

"I don't like being lied to" Erza said angrily. Lucy quickly apologised. The 2 of them stood there in silence.

"I don't even know why I'm taking this so personally" Lucy laughed through her tears.

"It's because you love him" Erza said firmly. Erza's statement just made Lucy laugh yet cry harder.

"And you don't? Everybody in fairy tail loves him" Lucy replied

"Of course we all love Natsu. But Lucy, your love is different. The feeling you feel only comes once in a life time" Erza replied firmly. She knew the feeling of love for another man. Jellal.

"Let's just say I do love him...it wouldn't explain the reason why I feel so..." Lucy started to say, her smile faltered and now her tears began to fall freely.

"Betrayed?" Erza suggested but it sounded more like a statement. Lucy nodded her head in reply.

"Lucy, Natsu is complicated. We've known him for over 8 years and we didn't even know he knew his parents. You feel betrayed because you shared everything with Natsu, yet Natsu hasn't shared anything about his past with you. But his opening up now, and that's all that matters. Lucy...I want an answer. Do you love Natsu?" Erza asked this time. Lucy eyes were red and puffy from crying so much. She nodded her head.

"I love Natsu" Lucy cried. Erza walked over to Lucy and hugged her. Unbeknownst to Lucy, Natsu was sitting in a tree, listening to their whole conversation. Natsu sighed and buried his face in his left Palm.

"I'm sorry Lucy....but we can't ever be together" Natsu whispered to himself.

Back at the camp Gray, Juvia, Wendy and Happy were still contemplating.

"This doesn't add up" Gray whispered to himself.

"What does Gray-Sama mean?" Juvia asked.

"We knew Natsu for 8 years, and Natsu looks 18. He was 6 years old when he met Meika and he stayed with her for another 8 years. He must've been 16" Gray said.
