P.O.V Natsu

The worried, excited and afraid tone in which Lica asked me my questions while being hold in my arms made me froze... "She isn't safe in my arms anymore... the one she only wants now is... GAJEEL REDFOX!" i growled in my head.

Something inside me taking control over my body... i was moving but didn't intend to... and i didn't care... because i was caring her away... away from that voice... which was be able to return us to Mangolia. I didn't want to return there... i would lose my little sister again... i would lose Lica against a harsh Iron Dragon Slayer... and that would be the WORST!

Whatever took control of me grew larger and i tightened my hold in Lica's waist. I was caring her like a sack of potatoes, like Metal Head always does "Maybe if i act like him, she won't leave me..."-Nasu-nii what's wrong?- she asked confused and concerned- Is there another test?- "That's it! If i act as if there are still test to pass, she won't notice what i'm trying to do... after all i'm his big brother, why wouldn't she believe me?". I stopped and placed her on the ground, just about when i was going to talk my gaze locked with her's. Lica's eyes were full of trust "for me", admiration "because i noticed a test that she didn't... something that isn't true...", love "for me too" and concern "because i began to do faces while fighting with whatever i had inside me".

"Tell her the lie so she won't leave you!" hissed a dark voice inside my head.

I winced at how strong he talked "Never she is my little sister! I would never lie to her, not like that" i growled.

"But if you don't do it she will leave you for Metal Head" he remembered me "And the only thing that he will cause her is pain. We both know that" he was... he was right... thanks to Metal Head she is here... as well as since they mated the only thing that Lica does is cry... maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to keep her here, safe and sound... after all i would only be protecting her, wouldn't i?... "Now tell her the lie!" the dark voice demanded... his tone was hypnotizing.

Once again i prepared myself to lie at Lica... but stopped still when i saw the iron bracelet she was wearing- Lica from where did you get that bracelet? I had never seen you wearing it- i asked her.

-Ah this one is a present from Gajeel!- she exclaimed happily while daydreaming "That smile... i never seen it in her face... that's also Metal Head's achievement..."- He gifted to me when we both mated, it's a symbol of our love!- she clapped her hands together "LOVE?!...".

That word resonated in my head causing me to recall a memory of my past:

-Igneel! Don't leave us!- i shouted hugging his tail "I don't want to be abandoned once again".

-Natsu what are you talking about?- he asked me while raising his tail in front of me so he was able to look at me right- Who got you that idea in your head?

-Is that i saw you fighting with Melodyca and that's what happened before my other dad left home with my other mom all alone- i sobbed remembering my biological parents fight. There was a lot of alcohol included... i still shiver at the memory.

-Natsu- he said gently placing me on the ground but as soon as i was down i ran and grabbed his tail once again not letting go- I won't leave you or Melodyca or Levlicay you are my family.

-But you don't fight with your family!- i yelled not understanding anything.

-You do fight with them- he told me firm- You cry, laugh, fight and amend with them- he continued- That's why families are so strong, because no matter any problems they go through they always get pass them and continue together- he smiled at me- That's the meaning of LOVE, Natsu... never forgive it.
