Catching Fire | Natsu x Reader

Chapter 9: Last day of the GMG

Hey guys, thanks for continuing to read. I hope you're enjoying the story. Anyways onto the chapter ^-^ ( Yeah I'm going to use some events/games on this chapter.)
—————————————————————

" How dare she play with Sting's emotions like that?!" You frustratedly asked Rogue.

The both of you watched Sting leave the room after Minerva told him that she saved Lector and would only return him if we win the Grand Magic Games. He seemed tired from the day, soulless even.

" Lector is still alive so it doesn't matter. She just wants to win the games like everyone else." Rogue replied as he walked away.

That wasn't the response you expected from him, but after what happened tonight, you understood that he probably just wanted to be alone too. You sighed, noticing Summer looked sleepy so you went to your room to let her in her bed. 

It was late at night and you decided to take a walk around Crocus. Walking along the side of the river, you sat down on the port.

' Is this really how a guild is supposed to treat each other? With manipulation, blackmail... Not caring about anyone else's feelings?'

You pulled your knees into your chest and wrapped your arms around them, staring mindlessly into the river.

You remembered the fight between Sting and Rogue against Natsu and Gajeel. You also remembered what just happened in the guild with Lector and Sting. Then you remembered your conversations with Natsu as a tear ran down your cheek.

' We were the best in Fiore until Natsu came. How was he able to beat Sting and Rogue? It's all his fault this happened! - No, it's our fault for joining such a messed up guild like Sabertooth in the first place. We got too cocky.'

" You're the female dragon slayer from Sabertooth." An unknown voice said behind you. You turned your head and saw a short man behind you. That's when you recognized him from the audience, the master of Fairy tail.

"Yeah, are you here to gloat about your victory against Sting and Rogue?"  You asked as turning back to stare at the river.

" Nothing of the sort, but I couldn't help but notice that you were crying. If you don't mind me asking, why're you crying?" The master of Fairytail asked.

You shrugged still looking into the river, "Many reasons... But I doubt you'd be able to understand. Your guild is perfect."

Master Makarov looked into the river and he stood next to you, " No guild is perfect. Even Fairytail runs into its problem every now and then but we always find a way to fix it as a family.

You faintly smiled for a second as your smile vanished, "Well it's different in Sabertooth. It's practically everyone for themselves, all they care about is winning and being the strongest guild in Fiore, so I guess that makes you better than us in another thing. Sometimes I wish I was in a different guild."

"Well Fairytail always has open doors to those who want to join." The master's comment made you lightly laugh, joining fairy tail was out of the question for you, " Thanks but no thanks, I don't know if you know but I've done some awful things to your guild members for these past couple of days. Besides even if I joined, I don't think anyone would be happy about it, especially Natsu."

You stood up, noticing that you were on the port that was across from Bar Sun. That's where the fairy tail guild has been celebrating and hanging out after the games.

"Oh, I know what you've done to my children all too well but the past is in the past and if you join then everyone in the guild will have to get used to it. If your concern is about Natsu, I'm sure he'll be okay with it... That boy gets his strength from the love of the ones close to him. He has no boundaries when it comes to his power." Replied Master Makarov as you looked down at him.
