P.O.V Natsu

I could see Igneel laying down on the parade where i was raised by him with me, when i was a kid, and a girl cuddling on his back. There was also a song that my father and another woman were preforming but she couldn't be seen... "Who is that girl i'm embracing? I don't remember her". However, seeing her so save and comfortable in my arms felt so right... not in a romantic way because my mate was Luce... i knew it since the moment i saw her but didn't say anything due to "How would you react if a guy you just met told you that you were his designate mate for life?".

After a few minutes we both woke up and started to play with my dad's tail- Nasu catch me!- the girl shouted to me "Nasu?" and let go of the tail. My heart missed a beat and ran to catch her but my young self did it before me.

-Lica! Don't do that, you could have hurt yourself- i scolded her... well my kid copy "Why do i feel like this? Why do i have the necessity of protecting her?".

The scenery changed drastically, now i and the girl... how did i called her... Lica! Well me and Lica were on a building and it was... on fire! My young self was searching desperately for that girl and shouting her name from the rooftops. My heart completely stopped when i saw that Lica was under a stack made from the fallen roof-Nasu! Help me!- she yelled, begging for help. My heart was shattered by seeing that her beautiful smile was covered by her tears, her pretty blue hair was burnt and her gorgeous hazel eyes were off almost without life. I dashed to her aid but part of the building fell down taking her with it.

- Lica!- i woke up shouting and sweat covering all my body- Lica- i whispered this time, covering my face with my hands-Who are you?

-Natsu are you ok?- i hear Happy asking.

-Yes, i am- i lied, faking a smile- Just a nightmare.

-Ah! Come on then, Lucy is waiting for us at the guild- he told me.

I took a shower, got dressed and walked to the guild in completely silence. When i entered Fairy Tail i stopped still "What was he doing here?!"-Ntasu...-started Luce but i interrupted her growling.

-What the hell is he doing here?!- "Did he hurt her again?... Wait a minute... why did i yell to Lucy for her?"

-He is a member of Fairy Tail now- answered Master "W what? Did you forget what did he do to her?!". I was about to shout to the old man but i smelled her tears and ran towards her aid "Her tears smell so similar to Lica's". She was at the guild's library crying under the window, i approached her and sat next to her.

-The old man is crazy- i told her- How could he bring that bastard to Fairy Tail after what he did to you?

-Everyone needs a second change- she said, stopping from shedding tears. She looked up at me and smiled "Her smile is so similar to Lica's"-Thanks for being worried about me Natsu but it's ok- i knew that she was lying "But how was i so sure about it?".

-You are lying- i state, her eyes were filled of surprise- You are not right, i won't pressure you into anything but i'm here for you whenever you want- i let her know. She started to cry again but this time her face wasn't buried into her knees, it was buried into my chest. I wrapped my arms around her and placed my chin on her head "Why does she remember me so much of Lica? Who is Lica? And why does seeing Levy like this break my heart?". I hard her sniffing and broke the hug- Are you better?- she nodded. I noticed that she had a book next to her- What were you reading?

She picked the book and answered- The first book of the collection of Sherlock Holmes, it's a criminal story. I always wanted to read it but each time i want to start i discover another book and read that one instead of this one.
