NASHIS POV
"Loke already told you who Arlock was." I started.
Natsu was sitting next to me, without even trying to move. I didn't really know, how close was he to mom, but when she was awake, I could've sensed, his feelings.
He deserved to know the truth. And I knew why but......... it's still to early for me to accept the truth.
"It's true that Arlock was like a father to me. And he really loved my mom, though she never really loved him. She was just holding him close, because of me. Because she knew I needed a father."
This topic, was the one thing, me and mom could never agree on.
"You know, thanks to the demon in me I mature quicker. Right now, my psychics is that of an about 20-22 year old." I'm just guessing though. That's how I feel inside sometimes.
"So even when I was just 8, I could've understand things that kids in my age didn't. For example a non-returned love." The first move Natsu made, was that he turned his head to look at me.
I moved in order to sit on my knees.
"Arlock, I used to call him Dad, really loved my mom. But she didn't. Dad deserved to be loved, he was an amazing person. I couldn't stand how mom acted towards him. One day, I came home from school sooner, and they were both at home. Mom was screaming at dad, while holding a picture. A picture of her old friends. She was shouting that she is sorry that she can't love him, but he is not......and she said a name."
I looked Natsu in the eye.
"That was the first time I heard your name."
I could see him freeze. I tried to continue normally. "Of course, I didn't know who you were back then. I just heard mom screaming your name. I could see that Dad was really hurt. That night.......that night was the first time I felt her inside me."
I sighed and shoved my head in back.
"Look I've lied. I heard every word Loke said down there. And that's why I'm talking to you right now. She came from you.............but I'm really sorry."
I inhaled.
"That night........dad went out. I was worried about him, so I followed him. That night.....was the night of the purple stars. That's what they've been screaming while stabbing dad's body all over again."
No matter what I did, I could never forget that night.
Natsu gave me a quite shocked and surprised look.
"Yes. I went to look for dad, and found his in an alley, as some crazy maniacs were stabbing him, controlling the sticks with their magic. Wizards. They kept asking him where is the Celestial Mage, but he kept quiet. He loved mom so much, he didn't tell them where she is. I kept hidden. I was crying, and trembling, but I was too scared to go out." Even now, I still have the image in front of me. I was a coward for not helping dad, when he needed me the most.
"I will never forget his last seconds. He turned his head around, and saw me standing there. He gently smiled and said: I love you baby girl. Then the people lost their patience and killed him." I scratched the back of my head.
"I can't really remember what happened afterwards. I blacked out, and woke up in my bed. I thought it was all just a bad dream. Until Uncle Loke told me, that he found me in the alley. I, no she, was going berserk. That was the first time, I heard her voice."
...
Stop. Do. You. Want. To. Tell. Him. Everything?! Nashi! Do. Not. Forget. I'm. Still. Here. Nashi!!
I scratched my forehead to mask the pain going through my whole body. She is really annoying.
"My body didn't belong to me back than. She was doing whatever she wanted. It...." I shuttered. "It almost killed me.......and I almost killed mom and Uncle Loke as well." I rested my chin on my knees. "From that day......I guess something changed. It wasn't me anymore."

NATSUS POV
"It wants me anymore." Nashi was on a verge of crying. This girl.....this child was mine and I left her all alone.........with the demon that came from inside me.
"It feels like she is changing me. I-, I..... Natsu please help me." Nashi said, buried her face in her palms and her whole body was gently shaking as the tears were flowing from her eyes.
I wanted to hug her. I wanted to help her.
Nashi jumped up, grabbed my arm and screamed. "Natsu! Please! You......you have it as well. Please help me!"
Her face.........it was as if I was looking at Luce. The deep brown eyes........
I turned away from her.
"I'm sorry Nashi. But I can't help you. I don't know how."
Nashi went totally silent. Her body stopped shaking. Her eyes went cold.
"I see. Thanks a lot for nothing." She said, got up and left.
Before she went back down, she stopped and looked over her shoulder.
"Oh sorry. Thanks for giving me this demon, my BIOLOGICAL father." She hissed and shut the door behind her.
I could feel the tears in my eyes.
Oh, how I wish I could help her.
But how can I? Even I don't know how.
But she is right. It's my fault.
The demon and from me.
And I have to take if from her.
That.....
I promise myself.
