Firelight **DISCONTINUED**

What did you do?

Hello and welcome back. I posted this chapter late last night (10/13/19) and saw that people commented things on how they felt in this chapter. I appreciate it and love it, but I want to tell you this chapter may or may not be the last for this book. At least for the rest of the year. So, I figured I would make it emotional on a different level and see a reaction. I'm proud of my work. Thank you.

The next day the pair had walked into the guild, or more accurately Natsu had Lucy over his shoulder as she was knocked out with blood sliding down her eyes with it dropping on the floor. It was so unusual to see Lucy bloodied with Natsu, but of course, they had separated Natsu from Lucy so Wendy could heal her. Freed was had used an anti-magic barrier to keep him held back with no magic at all, the master stood behind the green-haired man with a forlorn look on his aged face.  

Luckily, Gray and Erza weren't in the guild since they were called to go on a mission by the council so that made interrogating Natsu much easier.  If the two were there everyone knew that they would make the situation much worse than needed. Makarov walked forward to a very angered Natsu, his fire was turning a bright blue from the heat of his anger, but he was beginning to think that it was a bad idea to get close to the Chaos who was very angry. It never ended well for anyone, in any situation. 

"Chaos," Makarov called as warmly and gently as possible as to not make Natsu angrier, "what happened to Lucy? What did you do?" 

His whole body froze up as he slowly made eye contact with the short old man. Makarov gasped at those eyes, they weren't the same eyes he was used to seeing. Those eyes he sees are like coals that are losing the fire that once kept them hot, but they are dying and turning into those familiar cold ones that the man was much more used to seeing on the pink-haired man. 

They think I did that to her, Natsu sneered in his mind. He was bothered that they thought he had done something like that to Lucy. Natsu didn't do a single thing, it was that blue-haired man with the fucking tattoo over his eye asking for Erza. That man used some fucking time magic-user to hit Lucy without them knowing until it was too late. He remembered trying to take the hit, but he couldn't reach her in time. If he had more time then maybe he could have had done more than just use the strongest roar he had ever used before rushing over to the guild. 

He was being blamed for something he didn't do. 

He was being accused of harming his mate. 

Natsu was beginning to want to attack these people, but he knew that Lucy loved these people. These insects. Why was he so hesitant to do them harm knowing this?

"You," Natsu breathed, "you think I did that to my mate?" 

Everyone in the guild said nothing, but you could tell that they were all blaming him. Almost all Lisanna, Wendy, and the exceeds shook their heads. 

"You would never Natsu-san," Wendy said after a few moments of silence. 

Happy wanted to rush towards Natus, but he knew he had to keep his distance when his father figure was this angry. Carla and Pantherlily seemed very disturbed by the mages blaming Natsu of something he clearly hadn't done. 

"The brat knows me better than you all," Natsu said in a deep growl. He bashed his head on the rune wall with a burning hatred in his darkening eyes. Even though the runes prevented Natsu from using his magic it didn't prevent the physical changes that he was beginning to undergo. "As if I would hurt someone like Lucy."
