It's been about a week, since master Makarov, and Guildarts found a pink headed boy half alive in the forest.
The boy has not woken up yet, he stirs in his sleep but doesn't show any sign of walking up.
Well until today that is.

The kids, Gray, Erza, Cana, Lisanna, Mirajane, and Elfman, where on watch when the boy woke up.
He didn't wake up how you or I would wake up in the morning, he woke up sweating, in a panic, and he was scared.
"Ahh! *pant pant*" the boy quickly shot up and let out a small scream. He looked wide eyed at the bed sheets, like they where some type of alien or something out of this world being.

"Hey! Pinky's up! Some one go tell master." Mira-Jane told.
The boy shot his head up and scrambled to the backboard pressing him self up against it.
"Oh whoa! It's okay! We're not going to hurt you.." Lisanna said, putting her hand in front of her waving.

All the boy did was stare wide eyed the panicked look still on his face, no talking, no movement, just staring at the other kids in the room.
Taking this time as a time to go get gramps, Gray and Cana ran to go get master.

"What's your name?" Erza asked, drawing his attention to her. They boy was shaky, and on edge they had to be careful or else who knows what could happen.
The boy didn't respond, he just stared for a good minute, then he turned away to the bedsheets.
He didn't talk.

Master came in and saw the boy, master Makarov thought it looked as if this kid has seen things a kid his age shouldn't have seen.
He walked  towards the boy slowly, they did not want to set him off they needed answers.

"Hello boy. My name is master Makarov. Another fellow and I found you half dead in the forest. We took you here and helped you out, could you tell us what your name is what you where doing in the forest?" They way he spoke was kind and gentle.

The boy looked up and studied his features, he looked for any hint of danger, evilness, anything that he couldn't trust..... And he found none of it.
What he did find was kindness, safety, trust, protection, and a couple others he's never seen before.

"N-Natsu... And I was r-running away from my... Umm.. M-master." He mumbled, not to loud for it to sound like a normal voice, but not quite enough for them not to hear.

"Is he the one that did that to you? The one who left you in a state of near death?" Masters voice was nothing but kind, and gentle and that confused Natsu.

"S-sort of... It was also my fault from getting him mad and running in the f-forest."
He heard the other kids gasps, and looked up, a hint of anger and confusion played in his black eyes.

"P-Please don't pity me. No one likes to be pitied over." He spoke, confusing the other kids, but they also understood.
He then looked down again playing with the bedsheets.

"What is this?" He asked holding up the bed sheets.
"Those are called bed sheets you put them on your bed and change them every month....
I have a few more questions but they can wait for later.. I bet your wondering where you are right now, am I correct?" Gramps said.
Natsu nodded.
"You are at the wizard guild Fairy Tail. I can sense your magic, it's very strong." He said.

Natsu tilted his head in question.
"What's a guild?"

"Ha. He doesn't even know what a guild is. Did he live under a rock?" Mirajane mumbled to the kids but only matser heard her. He shot her a glare telling her 'if you don't shut up I have you clean the guild and the town for a month', and so she shut up.
"A guild is a place where people can go make friends, family, get jobs, have fun, and brawl. It's a lovely place most of they time. Do you need anything by the way?"

"O-okay. Um c-can I um.. Have some food? Please?"
"Sure, Lisanna can you get some food for him?"
"Sure thing, gramps!" Lisanna squealed and skipped of.

Natsu held his hand to his neck and patted it, he realized something wasn't there, and began looking around.
"What are you looking for my boy?" Gramps asked.
"M-my scarf.. It's very important. I should of had it in my hand or on my neck.. D-don't tell me its somewhere in the forest." He spoke a little louder then before, and you could clearly hear the panic in his voice.

"A scarf?.... Oh yes you had it in your hand. You were clutching it so hard we had to pry it out of your hands, and even then it was still hard." The old man laughed "but it's right over there, I'll get it."
"T-thank you."
Mater smiled a genuine smile, he hasn't seen one of those before, well his dad Igneel gave him a dragon smile, but he has never seen a humans genuine smile.

"W-why are you being so nice? I was told humans where mean and selfish things." Natsu mumbled when gramps came back with his scarf.
"Here you go. And I'm not to sure who taught you that, but not all humans are mean and selfish. Sure you'll run into a few, but the whole human race is not completely full of mean and selfish people."
Natsu tied the scarf around his neck and sniffed it, then nodded.
He was confused about what the old man had just told him but his head was already hurting from a headache  so he didn't want it to hurt more.

"Oh right you kids should introduce yourselves to Natsu already."

"Oh right.. Um I'm Cana!" She smiled.
"I'm Gray" he gave a nod.
"I'm Erza." She smiled.
"I'm Mira-Jane!" She gave a grin.
"I'm Elfman." He gave a small
smile.

Lisanna soon came into the with the try of food.
"Lisanna introduce yourself to Natsu."
"But you already did gramps." She smiled." And here's your food, I made a couple things since I don't know what you like.. Um, those are pancakes, this is oatmeal, that is chicken soup, that is lemon chicken, and that's a burger!" She explained. Smile never leaving her face.

Natsu took the tray and stared it down. "Well.. Go ahead try it." Gramps said. Natsu looked confused... Again. 'I guess I spent to much time with dragons. I wish I hadn't.'
He dig in and ate all of it, literally all of it, nothing spared.

"That was the best food I've ever had. It was really delicious.. T-thank you... But I thought food was just some deer or what ever wildlife you find, or vegetables." He mumbled.
"Who was your master?" Erza asked. Natsu looked panicked at first, but then calmed him self a little.
"Y-You won't believe me.. But he was a dragon.. They both where. I don't Want to talk about the second one at all so please don't ask me.."

The room feel silent, well until Mirajane broke the silence.
"Hahaha! Sure kid! Sure." She laughed.
"Mira!" Lisanna yelled.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me... It's fine..  Umm how long do I have to s-stay here?" He asked gramps.
"Do you use magic?" He replied.
"Y-yeah I do.. Umm what dose that have to do with anything?"

"Well I want you to join the guild!You can have a new loving family, you can grow stronger, and have a job. So what do you say?" Gramps asked.
"I-I don't think I should. He-he will find me and..... The last time I escaped he burned down the village.." The whispered the last part.

'This is what happens when you try and leave me END! I will always find you! Watch them burn and suffer!'
Fire, fire everywhere, and not the normal type but black fire,a darker and even deadlier fire, it burned and ate away at everything. On top on a hill sat a black as night dragon and a small little boy with pink hair crying.

"Tsu... Tsu.. Atsu... Natsu!" Erza snapped the boy from his memory's. When he looked at her she saw the look of pure terror.
"It's okay.. He won't get you and if he tried will fight him off. You got that!" She declared, surprising everyone.
"Umm... I-uh.. F-fine.. But if i see any evidence that h-he is coming back Im leaving.." He decided.
"Perfect we can work with that."
He got out a stamp and held it out for Natsu to examine.
"T-that w-won't burn anything into m-me will it?!" He panic backing up farther into the backboard of the bed. The kids shot worried glances at each other.

"No it won't, it won't hurt at all I promise."

Natsu got his guild mark on his right arm in red. And that was that. they talked more about the guild and about the other kids and the old man. Natsu found out a lot, he was happy again. After almost 10 years he finally felt happy.
Like with his five year old self and Igneel, almost that happy but not exactly.
Natsu was going to have fun. Or so he thought..........
