The Dragon Queen

I Have to Get to Her

Natsu's POV

We arrived at Lucy's mansion. Erza and Gray were a little nervous to meet four dragons, I could tell. I see Layla and Igneel in the garden, I hurry and run over to them, Gray and Erza followed.

"Dad, we have an emergency." I stated trying to catch my breath. Both him and Layla stood up, a confused look came across their faces. Layla looked around for Lucy.

"Where's Lucy?" She asked with concern in her voice.

"Fabian has taken her into the dragon realm," Erza stated.

Layla eyes started to tear up, her hands covering her mouth. Igneel has a worried look spread across his face, he paced back and forth.

"I need to know how to get to the realm," I said seriously. I'm really worried about Lucy, who knows what things Fabian is doing to her right now. It's all my fault, I should have just went to the library with her, despite her telling me to stay at the guild.

"Ok, are your friends going to?" Layla said choking back her tears. We all nodded in unison.

Igneel put both hands on my shoulders,"ok what exactly does he want?"

Remembering what the letter said made my blood boil," he wants me dead, so he can marry Lucy. If I don't get her, in two days the marriage will be valid then there's nothing stopping him,except me." Fire surrounding my hands.

"Calm down boy, if you want to get to the realm you need to calm down." Igneel said shaking me a little bit. I did just as he said to do, the flames soon died out.

"Ok, I need you to concentrate on going to the front of the yard." He said seriously, letting go of my shoulders.

I looked in confusion," why the front of the yard?"

"Don't question me," he snapped. "You have to master traveling locally before going to other realms."

I pictured the front of the yard. Golden and red flames begin surrounding me, pretty soon all I see is flame. When they disappeared I was in the front of the yard. Igneel and Layla already there. Gray and Erza running towards us.

"Wooow what was that?" I was too shocked to say anything else.

"Let's just say only powerful dragons can do it, that's why Fabian can do it. Flames are the color of what you represent, red being the color of fire, but the golden color I'm not sure of." Igneel putting his hand under his chin.

"I know what it means," Layla butted in smiling. "It means you have a pure heart."

Erza and Gray looked at me in amazement. "Natsu, don't forget about Lucy." Gray yelled.

"Why would I forget about her, can't you see I'm trying to get to her, ice princess." I yelled back. We budded heads and argued. Erza grabbed our shirts pulling us apart then rammed our heads together. I think I saw Igneel laugh at that.

"No time for fighting, we have to save Lucy!" Erza exclaimed, crossing her arms over her armor.

We both got up from the ground running our heads. I brushed myself off. I looked at my dad and Layla.

"I will bring Lucy back also killing Fabian and taking back the kingdom for you." I motioned toward Layla. Her eyes light up like a Christmas tree she walked toward me hugging me.

"Thank you Natsu, you don't know how long it's been since we all have been there." She said smiling. Fury and Nighteye ran outside.

"We are coming with you," they said in unsion.

"The more help the better," Erza stated.

"Come on brother lets get back the princess," Fury said to Nighteye, putting his fist in the air. I looked at them confused.

"You two are brothers?" I questioned. "How come I didn't know."

Nighteye shrugged his shoulders," no one ever asked."

"Erza and gray I need you two to hold on to Natsu," Igneel stated. "Just so the both of you don't get left behind."

Erza grabbed my right arm, Gray sighed, then grabbed my left arm. I'm going to get Lucy back, but I'm going to kill Fabian in the process.

Red and golden flames appeared around myself Erza and Gray. I could tell Erza was getting nervous, since flames surrounded her. Flames covered my face, all I was thinking about was Lucy. I love you Lucy, I'm coming to get you.

The flames soon disappeared, I was in Fabians castle, Erza and Gray soon let go.

The castle has walls the sized of giants, it probably touched the sky. The walls were golden, with dragon carvings all around them. The room we were in was enormous, It looked like a place where dragons come to celebrate things.

Gray looked around in amazement,"everything is so big."

"That's beacuse everything is made to a dragons size," Nighteye stated. Both him and Fury walked toward us. They sniffed the air, to search for her scent.

I did the same. Lucy's scent is all over the castle, couldn't pin her scent to one direction. I smelled a stronger scent and I started to follow it.

"Wow," Fury said following me.

"What's wrong?" Erza asked suspiciously.

"He's keeping her in the dungeon," Fury said. Pointing the way I'm walking ," that way is the dungeon and Lucy's scent gets stronger that way."

"Let's go," I exclaimed. Running in that direction. We came across a heavy and huge door, I pushed it open and continued running. Her scent getting stronger with every stride I take. I run past a narrow hallway, there's a huge door at the end of it. I ran up to the door, Lucy's scent is stronger than ever. I push the door open to find her laying on the floor curled up into a ball.

I run over to her, she looked up and tears came rolling down her face. She hugged me so tight.

"N-Natsu I-I w-was s-so s-scared t-that I-I w-would n-never s-see y-you a-again," she sobbed. Burring her face in my chest.

I hugged her tight trying to calm her down," it's ok, I'm here and I would always come for you no matter what. I love you Luce."

I stood up holding her tight. Erza, Gray, Fury and Nighteye finally came into the dungeon- was I really running that fast? I noticed the chain wrapped around her ankle, I melted it off.

"Lucy what's on your wrist," Erza questioned.

"It's a magic binding bracelet," Lucy said looking down at the ground. "Fabian put it on me so I can't use my magic on him."

Nighteye took Lucy's wrist, observing the bracelet. "Well, looks like we are going to have to freeze it then try and melt it for this to come off."

Gray and I started freezing and burning the bracelet. 15 tries later the bracelet finally broke off.

"I can feel my magic returning," Lucy said enthusiastically.

"Alright let's go," Erza urged.
