You're The One (Nalu AU Fanfiction)

~*Chapter 4*~ Found {Edited}

~Natsu's POV~

"Igneel!" I shout in the far off distance.

My voice echoes and I wait for an answer, but all I could hear is the sound of rain falling down on my umbrella. I walk and search through the forest with my flashlight.

"DAD! Where are you?!" I yell once more.

I keep on walking and walking deeper in the forest. I look around with my flashlight, but all I see are leaves and trees in this creepy forest.

"MAN! THIS IS SO ANNOYING!! COME OUT IGNEEL! THIS IS NO JOKE!" I shout. But I don't hear my dad's voice anywhere. Frustration fills up. I take a deep breath to calm myself. I won't give up. I walk further more through the muddy forest. Then, I found a cave. Maybe he's in there!

"HEY IGNEEL!" I shout with joy and confidence.

I ran towards the cave and went inside without thinking twice. "Igneel! You in here-"" I stop. Inside the cave, isn't Igneel. The figure looks so small; it's impossible for that person to be Igneel.

I shine my flashlight and look at the small figure in curiosity. It's a girl! Wait... IS THAT A DEAD BODY?!? I drop the flashlight with panic. WHY DIDN'T I KNOW THAT THIS IS A SUSPICIOUS PLACE TO PUT A DEAD BODY HERE?!? My body begins to shake and I pick up the flashlight and shine it to the girl's lifeless body. I see her stomach moving up and down! She's alive! What a relief!!

I scan her body with the flashlight. I can see bruises and has cuts on both her arms and legs. I look at her face. She has some leaves on her face with mud stuck to her and her eyes are swollen and puffy. I look at her clothes. It's so dirty and muddy. But it looks like really expensive clothes girls like to buy... I have so many questions. Like why is she wearing expensive clothes in this type of weather? Where's Igneel? Why is she bruised up and has cuts? And finally, why would there be a girl in a cave like this? I know for a fact that she doesn't go to my school. With this types of clothes, she would've been able to catch everyone's attention.

"M-Mommy..."

I tensed up when I heard the girl's voice.

Mommy? Why did she say that? Is she lost?
I put my hand on her face. She felt like ice. Just like someone I know. Hmph.

I walk closer to her and kneel down next to her. I shake her to try to wake her up, but she wouldn't wake up. "Helloooo? You should wake up nooow." No response. She's knocked out alright.  I lean towards her ear and whisper, "Don't worry, I'll help you." I pick her up and carry her on my back. She is really light! It's a good thing that I brought my jacket with me.

I put my jacket on the top of her back, so she wouldn't get wet. I left the umbrella in the cave, so I can carry this girl. Besides, it's just an umbrella. I walk with her on my back till we reached to my house.

-------------

I slowly open the door and making sure that the door doesn't creek. I move my head to see if no one is awake. I heard nothing. I'm safe! I take a step in the house and the lights turned on blinding my eyes.

"Natsu Dragneel!"

Uh oh.

"Where have you been!?" My mom yells at me with anger.

"Gosh mom! Be quiet will you?? I'll explain everything later, but right now I need your help." I turn my head and looked at the girl on my back, who is still sleeping from the commotion. "I found someone."
