=========================

Natsu's pov

i study more photos and just over think things...what is this guys deal, why does he hate us so much and why does he want me most of all. i know he wants to kill me but that might be a bluff.

'Natsu, stop dazing off and play the game' Gray moaned and i just shhed him and it ticked him off. 'DON'T SHUSH ME FOOL!'

'SHUT UP MAN, i'm tryna think'

'well i'll evacuate people before you blow this place up' Gray joked and i just glared at him whilst he lauhed.

'yeah yeah, very funny'

'why are you thinking anyway?'

'alright, acno is trying to kill me'

'once i know who that is i can relate'

'well, he is a really big drug producor, he makes drugs' gray nodded trying to undertsand me. 'and he's my cousin yet Gajeels brother'

'since when were you cousins with Gajeel?'

'i found out yesterday, apparently we are related on my moms side'

'how the hell did you not relise after your brothers funeral'

'they were on a business trip' i replied and gray carried on nodding. 'anyway, acno, killed my brother and my uncle and sting, i think he wants me and Gajeel dead too, but then he is linked to lucy and my family which means he wants to kill them and i'm just freaking out.

'right, so you want to go find him'

'HELL NO!' i shouted and everyone went quiet and looked at me. 'anyway, i think he's angry with something'

'i think i have it'

'what?'

'this acno dude is jealous because you guys are family, maybe he just wants family' when gray said that my mind went crazy again with ideas.

'maybe he was going to have a family but never got a chance too. he wanted attention so he took drugs but got someone pregnant, but maybe the baby died, and after hearing from larcade that zeref had a son, acno got angry and killed my brother' i said writing down the ideas like a crazy scientist.

'yeah maybe that bro, but take the ideas down slow, your turning crazy' gray said and i just kept on writing ideas.

'i can't, he is on to me, and it's terrifying, he could hurt everyone i love and care about, even my nefew, and he hasn't even had a full life, he is six years old and could die, it's bad enough about to be older than my older brother soon'

'it's three years time'

'thats what's scary'

'well it's fine because you won't die, especially since your here'

'but what about my family?' i said and gray was quiet.

'they will be fine...i hope' i know he wants to say i promise but i can tell gray had a slight worry too. because what ive somehow got him and Levy and juvia Linked too and because Juvia is friends with that wendy girl, she must homehow be linked. i think acno wants to destroy all the happiness i have, and what my friends have...but why?, ive never met him before, i don't know who he is...

============================

i'm in my bedroom and i'm figuring out who this man is. and why he is so obsessed with me. my family is so messed up right now, what a small world.

'Natsu, are you going to join the swimming club?, it's really fun' Juvia asked on the other side of the door after knocking three times.

'nah, can't swim, and besides, i have things to think about' i replyed and Juvia walked in a bit annoyed but she was calm.

'yeah i know what your thinking about, gray told me, Natsu, you need to stop worrying, your family is going to be fine, you are going to be fine'

'he knows where i am Juvia, he knows, he messaged me saying he was outside two days ago. the man is waiting until i leave for visiting'

'is that why you haven't visited anyone for weeks?'

'exactly that, he would follow my mom, dad, then they'll track mavis and august, and then all my other family members. i can't risk that life for them'

'so avoiding them is the answer?'

'no, i still face time with them'

'natsu your going to get homesick again, and aggy and moaney and i don't like seeing my best friend like that'

'yeah well, i'm risking that case because it will keep us safe and my family outside safe' i said continuing to find more information.

'fine, well i'm going swiming with the others in the new pool, see you at dinner' Juvia walked out and shut the door leaving me alone. i'm gonna find every little detail about you acnologia. and when i do, your not going to want to mess with my friends or family.
