Her Own Tale → Natsu Dragneel

8. Knight

(Y/n) nervously turned around following where the voice came from. Her jaw suddenly dropped, it's the exact knight she saw in the mirror.

"How did you. . .find me?" She whispered, backing away. Horror written on her expression.

The knight smirked at her reaction, amused at the pretty princess' behavior as he sheepishly pointed at the white haired woman. "With the help of her."

(Y/n) followed where he was pointing and as if on a cue the woman from the shadows walk towards the knight with a horrifying smile, it was Liana.

Natsu's eyes widened and readied his fighting stance while (Y/n) was hiding behind him, holding on his red sweater. She was agitated at the sight of the people in front of them.

"Dear, Natsu. . .I thought you're my faithful servant," she tilted up her head towards Natsu and smiled shaking her head dramatically. "I'm disappointed."

"I'm not your servant anymore!" Natsu can't help but growl, holding (Y/n) protectively.

"You still have the curse!" Lissana laughed heavily.

Curse? What curse?, (Y/n) thought.

"I will break that curse!" Natsu said confidently, Happy on the other hand was shivering with fear hiding on a nearby tree.

"You can't." The knight said sternly. "Cause a human won't love a monster like you." (Y/n)'s eyes widened, her instincts were right.The knight is not a good guy instead he's the bad one.

Natsu growled darkly, his grip tightening. (Y/n) assuringly touch his shoulders making Natsu's ablaze eyes, soften.

"Don't listen to him Natsu, you're not a monster. . .You're just different, that's all."

The words seemed to ease him cause his body soften at the Princess' statement.

"Come back to your master, Natsu." Liana offered her hand towards the salmon haired boy with a smile.

"No, I won't." He said sternly and shook his head.

A swish of wind went pass them, "Or I'll kill the princess." Natsu's eyes widened in fraction his heart pounding the moment he felt that (Y/n) was in danger his eyes started turning the color of fire.

(Y/n) was held captive by Liana, while pointing the dagger at her neck. One wrong move and the girl would be dead.
"Let. . .go. . .of. . .me!" (Y/n) wiggled from her grasp as she stared at Natsu asking for help.

"You pesky!" Liana slashed the dagger at her shoulders, making (Y/n) groaned in pain.

"Stop!" Natsu horrifyingly yelled the moment he saw a drop of blood from the woman's body. He blew fire towards Liana with no hesitation but the witch dodge it quickly and laughed with amusement.

He's beyond furious right. She already hurt (Y/n), now he'll hurt her. Nobody ever hurt his princess.

The white haired smirked when she saw Natsu in fury, she toss (Y/n) like a trash on the ground, beads of blood drop from her injured shoulder.

"You're no use for me now, you'll be dead anyway." She picked up (Y/n)'s hair and pulled it up, making (Y/n) bit her lip in pain, it freaking hurts.

"You're a useless kingdom trash like your father!" She yelled angrily and hit (Y/n)'s head to the rocky ground, square.

(Y/n) muttered some curses,trying to stood up but failed miserably. Her vision started blurring.

Without any hesitation, Natsu breathed fire towards Liana and quickly jumped towards (y/n) combing her (h/c) hair.

"(Y/n). . ." He whispered, his voice breaking. His heart was torn into millions of pieces, it hurts seeing her like this.

(Y/n) looked at him and gave him a tiny smile,"I'm fine. . .just a little bit of gash." (Y/n) assured him, but damn it hurts a lot.

"Be still, I'm gonna finish this quickly." Natsu said with full of determination kissing (Y/n)'s sweaty forehead.

(Y/n) nods meekly, putting some pressure on her shoulder. He carried her bridal style and brought her into a tree away from Liana, "Happy, look after her for awhile." Happy that was hiding on the tree nods hesitantly and tended (Y/n)'s wounds with some cloth.

Natsu became angrier and angrier every second that pass by, his fist blazing up with embers. He needs to kill her, she caused this disaster and he'll gonna end it.

The knight readied his sword nervously and hesitantly charged towards the furious Natsu.
He slashed towards him but Natsu dodge it flawlessly, he started slashing him again but failed.

"You're an asshole." Natsu spat and punch him straight in the gut.

The knight groaned, Natsu's punch can break even the stubborn rocks. He flew towards trees along with a painful yell.

"Pathetic." Natsu whispered. That's the knight that'll save (Y/n)? He's so weak that a carrot can replace him.  He marched towards Liana and balled his fist into an even hotter flame, "You're next." He taunted, a smirk was now written on his face.

Liana backed away slowly, "Don't hurt me, I'm your master Natsu!" She demanded, shivering at the pink haired man approaching her. His body was engulfed with flames. His eyes ablaze with fire that one touch cold pulverize you into ashes.

"Not anymore." He charged at Liana and punched he straight on the stomach making her groaned in pain. The moment she landed on the ground he collected his strength and kicked her multiple times that he felt her rib crushed, "That's for making me your servant."

He threw a punch on her face and cut her eyebrows open, the parameter of her face is now covered with bruised and blood, "That's for killing my father." He said sternly and kicked her again, now hitting her knees. "And that's for hurting, (y/n)."

Liana coughed with pain as she kneeled infront of him begging him to stop but that fell deaf on Natsu's eats,  "You're a bitch." His flame lighten up and hit her in the gut. Liana can feel the burning sensation from the fire spread across her body as she spit blood. Though she was in pain she's still smiling towards her once servant.

That expression caused Natsu's head to tick, his anger fueled as he growled, "I'm gonna rip off that grin of yours."

He was about to kick her again, when he heard a horrid yell, it was (Y/n)'s. He quickly averted his eyes towards the voice and he stood there in shock. (Y/n) has scratch and bruises around her body just like Liana.

"I'm great on spells, Natsu," Liana laughed, blood dripping from her mouth as she spit her tooth out. "(Y/n) and I are connected." She continued, in which made Natsu's brows knit together. Not getting what she meant.

"What are you saying?" He questioned as he grabbed her neck, squeezing it tightly.

Liana laughed demonically at Natsu's question and answered with a sinister grin, "If you kill me, you'll kill her."
