A/N sorry I haven't updated :( I didn't have wifi any ways enjoy!!!

(Third person POV following Natsu)

Natsu couldn't believe what he just heard. Lucy, innocent Lucy has been beaten everyday of her life for who knows how long. Her father was going to pay. Natsu was going to make him pay. No one should get away with this.

Natsu exited the hospital and began to run in the direction of Lucy's house as fast as he could. As he neared the house he sped up. He could only hope her father was there. He needed to get what he deserved. Natsu hopped onto the porch and kicked open the door.. Sitting on the old brown couch was a tired drunk looking man. Natsu took long steps towards the man, anger building up in his chest. The pink haired teen wasted no time and threw the first punch, landing directly on the man's jaw.

"You bastard! How could you beat your own daughter?!" Natsu's anger exploded out of him.

Lucy's father threw a drunken punch at Natsu, aiming at his head. Natsu was quick to move out of the way while throwing another punch at her father's stomach. Jude stumbled back clutching his torso as he fell into the coffee table. He grumbled before getting up and launching himself at natsu. All Natsu could do was run through the door and down the street. He knew he could beat Jude in a fst fight but maybe he could outsmart him. He could hear Lucy's father huffing behind him, so he spend up. As soon as he came to a turn he took a left and hid behind a clump of bushes. He pulled out his phone and began dialing 911.

"911 what's your emergency?" A sweet lady answered.

"There's a man chasing me, he's an abusive father and he needs to be stopped." Natsu whispered.

"Can you tell me your location please sir?"The woman asked. Natsu looked around and noticed he could see his high school school. "I'm about a block away from Fairy Tail High hiding in the bushes in front of a house. It's light blue white white shutters and a small porch."

"Ok we have officers on their way. Just stay low sir they'll be there soon." Natsu heard a beeping on the phone as the woman hung up. Natsu slowed his breathing. Everything is going to be ok. He told himself.

"Come out Natsu. I need to make sure you're ok for my daughter. I just love her so much. I don't want anyone to hurt my little girl" Jude yelled out.

Natsu had to do everything in his power not to yell at jude for being so...stupid. How could he say that when he was the one torturing her every night. Natsu looked up from the bush to see Jude looking straight back at him.

"There you are lover boy!" He laughed. Jude launched himself at Natsu, pinning him down. Natsu struggled to push Jude off of him, but nothing worked. Jude threw a punch at Natsu hitting him in the eye. Another came hitting him in the mouth. He could feel his lip spit open. Jude smirked.

"Not so tough now huh kid?"

All of sudden sirens filled Natsu's ears and he tried to sit up, but was pushed back down by Jude.

"You called the damn police!?" Judge threw another punch at Natsu's cheek. Natsu could hear the doors of a car open and close.

"Damn kid!" Jude Threw another punch at Natsu's nose causing to to explode in a bloody mess.

Natsu tried to open his eyes to find his vision blurry, and his head pounding. Everything felt like slow motion as Jude was tackled off of him, and two pairs of arms lifted him off the ground.

The paramedics began searching for and unobvious injuries. He was handed an ice pack for his eyes and someone began cleaning and bandaging his split lip.

"Looks like your nose is broken but everything else seems fine." The paramedic said as he held a cloth to Natsu's nose.

Natsu looked around for Jude but only found a retreating police car. They must have taken Jude away with them.

"You should be ok. Just take it easy ok kid?" One of the paramedics asked. Natsu nodded in reply before remembering something. He looked over at the three men. "Can you give me a ride to the hospital?"
