Breaking The Ice (Natsu x Depressed Reader)

Chapter 3

Y/n POV
I walk. Just walk. I pass scenery and all that good stuff. While walking, I had time to think about what power I would want to use as my cover up, ice dragon slayer magic! Something about ice, makes me happy, same with fire. But ice reminds me of something or someone. But I don't know what or who.

I think back to my old family. Who are they? I look at my necklace. Acnologia. He's my only true family.
I take a break and decide to put my h/l h/c hair into a brain ponytail type of thing, then I continue walking.

Time skip 2 days

I'm 11 as of supposedly yesterday b/d (birthday) and I have made it to the town of Reace. It's a huge town and a very rich town too. People who go here are said to wanting to settle down somewhere nice, but that's not what I want for now. I go to the mayors office and ask if there's any help needed, which he immediately recognizes me, I've helped him before. He is Mayor Juin (pronounces June).

"Wow, y/n. You disappeared for a few years, everyone got worried about the Cannenta. What have you been doing all these years?" He questions, to which I responded "Oh, well training, all that stuff haha. I have newer magic, meaning I can fight now!" I exclaim happily.

"Wow! So, you wanted to know if we had some jobs for ya, huh?" I nod. "Well, we have a few here. If you'd like to do them all I can give you a temporary home, rent is free!" He smiles, his famous smile of course!

I agree and he takes me to my 'new home' which is a smaller apartment (small in this town is big) and he places the jobs down on the table.

I read one at a time, mumbling all of them:

"Healer... blah blah blah.... sickness..... healer... defeated mage.... mage needed... blah blah... dark mage attacks... healer... mage needed... mage needed... mage needed... healer..."

I look up at Juin and I accept all of them, I have time on my hands. Plus, I have a home. I decide to cover the healing ones first. Luckily, all of the healing ones are in the hospital, well... all but one. The other one is being backup for a mage who is attacking a dark guild.

I enter the hospital and go into the room, they were obviously expecting me as they're all in the same room. I look at all of them, sadness and fear fills their eyes. It hurts to see people like this.
I go to the first patient. While I heal him we make small talk.

"So, sir. What is your name?" I ask, curiously. "John. Thank you for helping me Cannenta. I will forever be.." cough "grateful." "No problem!" I finish a few more and I'm on the last patient. "Hello, Ma'am. How are ya?" I speak less formally as she's as young as me. "N-not so well.. how are you, Cannenta?" I fell more sadness from her than anyone else. "Tired, haha. What's your name?" I ask " Lucy..." she responds she coughs a bit but smiles when she sees I'm almost done. "Are you okay? At home?" I ask, even though I'm 11, I'm pretty smart. I've had to learn early. She gets sad "Yes, thank you, Cannenta." She waves, her blond hair blowing in the wind. She seems too fancy for this town, this town is for party lifestyle people. Maybe her parents or her guardians are on a business trip here? I shrug.

I return back to my apartment and immediately take a long hot shower and wash very well as I took care of so many sick people today. One done, I change into different clothes that were provided, I yawn as I blow dry my hair and I realize how hungry I am.

Juin said that food was in the fridge and cupboards so I hope he wasn't lying! I run to the fridge and I die! FOOD!

I make myself some supper and I eat it happily, of course, it's 9:47 pm, so I should sleep. Tomorrow is a harder battle. I have to fight a dark guild.

Time skip.

I wake up in my queen sized bed, I'm just that fabulous. And I get ready. I change into a f/c tank top, black/white jean shorts and my black cloak with blue fur on the inside. I think to Acnologia, I wonder how he's doing. Is he ok? Has he gone insane yet? I'll never know.

I walk outside and go towards where the dark guild should be. Found it right away, easy. Dark guilds are never smart. They make their hideouts so obvious!

I knock politely on the door, as I am a lady, ya know? A man with white hair and a scar across his right eye opens the door and angrily and edgily says "what do you want? Little girl?" So edgy. Geez. I punch him square in the face. "Wow knocked out by an 11 year old. You're what? 30?" I laugh and walk over his unconscious body. "Who's next?" I punch my fists together as ice forks around them. They all stare at me as I smirk. I'm way to confident in myself now.

They all run towards me, an 11 year old! Can you believe this? The nerve of them!

"Ice dragon ROAR!" "Ice dragon wall!" "Ice dragon ICY FIST!" Seriously? All but one is knocked out? They're all like, 20-30 years old! I'm 11!

I look towards the boy who is left, he seems to be around 10-12 years old. He has a smirk, but so do I. I know he can't defeat me easily since I know almost all magic that exists!

"C''mon!" I yell, excited. "Dark dragon roar!" He yells, I block it, using dark dragon magic but he doesn't know that. It's not noticeable. "You really thought it'd be that easy to defeat me?" I chuckle. I hold my hand out in front of me. I whisper "ice dragon, freeze" the boy freezes, I walk up to him and punch the ice box, shattering all the ice. The boy falls over. He crawls away from me, realizing I wasn't at full strength. "You shouldn't be like this at such a young age. You should be out, having fun with friends. Not in a dark guild. Tell me, what's your name" I ask, he stays silent, I notice tears streaming down his face. "I'm sorry... they made me stay here... because of my magic..." he finally responds, sniffling. I sigh. "What's your name. I'll let you go free or stay with me and if someone asks, your a boy who got lost. Never was in a dark guild. What's your age and name?" I tell/ask him.

"Mark Roberts, and I am 12... you?" I smile at him. And pull my hood down "y/n l/n. I am also known as the Cannenta. I am 11. Would you like to come with me? I'm in town doing some jobs for the mayor." "Sure" he smiles beginning to feel happy.

I've made a friend. My first friend. Besides Acnologia, but he was my father. This is different.

Time skip

We make it to my apartment. He is going to sleep on my couch. I explain all the missions I'll be going on so he doesn't worry and that he can come with if he wants. I begin to make supper and he asks who my dragon was.

I turn towards Mark, after slicing one last yellow pepper. "That is for me to know, and for you to find out later." I smile, going back to slicing peppers. "Who was yours?" I ask.

"Drac. The dark dragon. He was all black and his scales were beautiful." He describes his dragon. I remember him, his dragon. I think back to when Acnologia introduced me to all the dragons, since I am technically princess of dragons, just saying. But I don't tell Mark that. "He sounds like he was an amazing father" I smile pouring the fruits and veggies into the boiling water.

We stay quiet as Mark watches TV and I finish making the soup.

Time skip

"That food was DELICIOUS, y/n!" He holds his stomach smiling, then burping. Causing both of us to laugh. "Anyway, I'm off to bed. Don't do anything bad, Mark. Good night"

Hope this was a nice chapter!
