Fixing You

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

It's been 3 days since Natsu collapsed for the second time and he has yet to awaken. Master had sent everyone on a frenzy searching for a cure. Every now and then someone was sent to check on the dragon slayer.

Happy was sent this time to go check on Natsu, he flew up to the room and he landed on Natsu's bed. The exceed placed a paw on the dragon slayers arm but instantly removed it. Natsu was cold. Very cold. Happy panicked and flew straight to the master without checking for a pulse.

Gray noticed happy quickly flying out of the room and followed him along with everyone else when they noticed Gray take off. Happy was already talking to Master when they got there.

"It's Natsu! H-He's so cold!" Happy was crying now.

Everyone who heard let out a gasp and Master quickly made his way to the room. Gray pulled Happy in for a hug to comfort the exceed.

"Happy, Was he breathing??" Gray was afraid of hearing no.

"I...I don't know...I forgot to check. He was so cold I just quickly came down here!" He cuddled into Gray's chest and cried a bit more. "I hope we find a cure!!"

"Me too happy, Me too.."

Gray walked up to the room with the others to see how Natsu was doing. Master was checking for a pulse when he entered the room. "Is he alive?" Lucy spoke.

"Yes..He still has a pulse so he's still alive but it seems we don't have much time left before all his magic is gone."

"If we are able to find a cure will all his magic return?" Erza questioned.

"I'm not entirely sure, but, if there was ever a cure then I would think that yes, all his magic should return.."

Gray sighed and walked over to the bed, he placed a hand on Natsu's cheek and then noticed there was absolutely no heat radiating off the teen.

"C'mon, we should go back to finding a cure. we may have only a few days left, and then again we could have a week to month, I don't know." everyone followed the master out of the room, Everyone except Gray, he stayed back for a little longer. Happy was still in his arms.

"Gray, What's going to happen?"

"I don't know...I really wish I did though." They headed back down to everyone else.

An hour had passed, Levy and Freed had been sent to search for a book in any bookstore they could find.

Lucy was in the Guild's library but she couldn't seem to find anything that could be a possible cure.

Erza was sent back to the village they got attacked in to ask around and see if anyone knew anything about the type of magic and if there was a cure available.

Gray was getting frustrated "Argh!! Why did the one spell that has no cure have to be the one that idiot got hit with!!!" He slammed the book his was reading shut and ran his hands through his hair.

"Oi! Shut up or i'll come over there and make you!!" Gajeel yelled at Gray.

"Do not pick a fight with me right now!!"

As soon as Gray spun around to face the iron dragon a loud scream came from Natsu's room. Everyone stopped in their tracks and Gray bolted to the room, Master and happy following behind.

Natsu was tossing and turning in his bed clutching the sheets in tight fists, his face was contorted into an expression of pain. Gray ran to his side and planted both of his hands down on Natsu's chest in a attempt to keep him still.

"Natsu! What's wrong!"

"Hurts!!! AHHH! Everywhere!!!!" A low growl escaped his mouth that caused Gray to take a step back.

When Gray backed up Natsu flipped himself over so he was half kneeling on the mattress, his face was buried in a pillow that he was biting really hard on, His hands gripped the sheets in tight fists once more. He still screamed but they were muffled by the pillow.

Gray turned to Master " What do we do?!"

"Happy! go get Wendy!"

"Aye!" Happy flew out of the room and soon after Wendy came running in.

Wendy placed both of her hands over Natsu as both Gray and Master held him still. She gasped and took her hands away.

"we have less then a hour before all his magic will be turned to dark magic. I actually thought it was a poison that sucked your magic out but instead it taints it and turns it in to dark magic!"

"We have to get a hold of Erza, she's asking about the wrong thing!" Gray's voice shook with panic.

"Yes, I'll go try to reach her on the communication lacrima!" Master ran out of the room and straight to his office.

Gray watched as Natsu curled into a little ball before passing out once again from the pain being too unbearable.

Freed and Levy returned empty handed almost as soon as the Master left the room.

About twenty minutes later Erza entered the guild with a vile of some kind reddish orange colored potion.

"Master! I got the potion! I have the cure!" She ran up to the Master and handed him the vile. "We have to give it to him after he transforms but it has to be before 24 hours are up or else we can't save him!"

They heard a loud bang and a scream before both her and Master rushed back up to Natsu's room but what they seen was not what they had been expecting.

Gray was crouched in a corner with Wendy behind him, his face showed pain and fear, there was a long burn mark across his chest.

Natsu stood a few feet back, Black flames circled around his fist. His eyes were different colors, one had turned black while his other eye was normal. There was purplish black markings running up his arms and chest.

Master gasped "Shadow Flame Dragon"
