The True Origins of Natsu Dragneel

Chapter 17

Natsu stared at his brother, his facial expression changed from shock, to confusion and then anger.

"I'm pretty sure I know my own brother's name" Natsu said

"Pretty sure? How much dumber can you get?" Gray replied.

"Now is not a time to fight" Ezra yelled. Natsu and Gray were suddenly frozen with fear.

"Natsu, is Zeref really your brother?" Wendy asked in shock

"Zeref? No. I don't have a brother named Zeref. My brother's name Is Kieta" Natsu replied

"Natsu, after what happened with father and you I changed my name to Zeref so nobody could find the connection between us" Zeref replied 

Natsu stared at Zeref with anger.

"Wait, Zeref is over a 100 years old, how the hell can you guys be related?" Gray asked

"A story for another time" Mieka replied

"Natsu, will you help us?" Zeref asked.

Natsu sighed. "Nope" Natsu answered with a smile.

Everyone, including the Fairytail wizards stared at Natsu with a shocked expression. He never turns someone's help down.

"What?" Meika shouted. Zeref stared at his brother with sad eyes.

"Natsu...I apologise for bothering you" Zeref said as he began walking. "If you change your mind. Meet me at the town where your mission is"

"How do you know about the mission?" Natsu asked with only curiosity on his voice.

"Who do you think created the mission?" Meika asked, she followed Zeref.

"We created the flyer to draw you to town. We were supposed to meet you at the town but we couldn't wait any longer. There's no one attacking the town" Zeref added.

The Wizards watched Zeref and Meika disappear. None them knew what to do anymore.

Natsu put his hand behind his head.

"We should go back home" Natsu said. Natsu began walking back. The Wizards didn't follow. They just stared at Natsu.

"Natsu..." Wendy whispered softly. Natsu turned back to his friends and smiled.

"I haven't eaten in hours. We should go to a restaurant....NO not a restaurant. An all you can eat buffet" Natsu said, he pumped his fist in the air. He began drooling over the thought of food.

"Natsu..." Lucy whispered softly, just as Wendy did.

Natsu completely ignored her and began rambling on about what food he was going to eat.

"NATSU" Erza shouted. Natsu stopped rambling, but instead of showing fear for Erza like he would normally do, he looked sad and he held so much guilt in his eyes. Everyone stare at Natsu with sad eyes.

"Stop looking at me like that" Natsu growled softly. Everyone still stared at Natsu with sympathetic eyes, but confusion and shock was added into their eyes.

"I don't want your pity. I don't want you to feel sorry for me. I DONT WANT YOU GUYS TO STARE AT ME LIKE IM A DYING PUPPY" Natsu shouted at his friends. All the emotions that he had hidden was now showing.

"Natsu....understand why you didn't tell us about your past...but why didn't you tell us your full story?" Erza asked softly.

"WHY? WHY? BECAUSE YOU WILL ALL LOOK AT ME LIKE IM A BROKEN PUZZLE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I DONT WANT YOU GUYS TO TREAT ME DIFFERENTLY" Natsu shouted. The tears began falling and Natsu couldn't stop the tears from falling. Happy, Lucy, Wendy and Juvia too had silent tears falling down their faces. Gray and Erza stared at their child hood friend who was crying, they had never seen him look so....broken.

"I lived 2 lives. One was with my demonic father and his twisted experiments. And the other was with Igneel, the father that actually gave a damn about me. Sure my first life I had my brother, sister and even Mieka but....that's nothing compared to this life. I have all of you's. You guys are my real family" Natsu cried

"When I'm with you guys, I don't feel like I was failed experiment, I feel like i was a real person" Natsu cried truthfully

"But now.....you guy's will leave me....I will be all alone again" Natsu said softly. Erza walked up to Natsu and punched him straight in the face. Natsu fell down to the ground anD stared at Erza. Tears were now showing in her eyes. Everyone stared at Erza with shock in their eyes.

"You're seriously the dumbest person I know" Erza said. "Do you seriously think that our FRIENDSHIP MEANS THAT LITTLE TO US THAT WE WOULD ABANDON YOU BEAUSE OF YOUR PAST?" Erza shouted at Natsu.

"We all have a past, we get where you're coming from. I was the little boy that watched my mother, father and mentor die because of a demon. When I grew up, I had to face the demon again, with the help of a salamander" Gray said, he stood next to Erza.

"I was the girl that was tortured and beaten because the people who captured me wanted me to build the tower of heaven. I couldn't great Jellal, I was weak and too emotional, but a dragon slayer saved me" Erza said

"I was your enemy, i fought against you, I hurt your friends BEAUSE I chose the wrong path, until a certain pink hair boy showed me mercy, and the power of friendship" Juvia said softly, for the first time she didn't refer to herself in third person , she stood next to Gray.

"I was a lost girl that was searching for her friend that she lost years ago. I joined a guild which later turns out, they didn't even exist. I was filled with hurt and pain, until someone who's like my big brother shared my burden so I didn't have to feel alone" Wendy said softly, she walked over to the other side of Erza.

"I came from a different universe, I thought my mission was to find and kill a dragons layer who turns out it be my best friend" Happy said. He flew onto Wendy's shoulders.

"I was the runaway princess that was neglected my her own father. I ran away and met a guy who changed my life for the better" Lucy said. Lucy walked beside Natsu. She took her hand out towards Natsu.

"You see Natsu, the pink haired boy, the salamander, the man who changed my life, was you. You stood by us no matter what happened in our past" Lucy said softly. Natsu grabbed Lucy hand and pulled him self up.

"Oi flame brain, let's go help out your family and complete our mission" Gray said.

Natsu looked at his comrades.

"Thank you" Natsu whispered.
