The Beast Inside (Nalu)

Lucy loses her family in a tragic plane crash at a terribly young age of 6. Whether she's alive or not, no one knows...

That is, until a full 10 years pass and her temporary home is found by a couple of lost hikers. They take her in and leave her with the Japanese government. They're surprised to see that she can hold normal conversations with people and is up to date with everything she needs to know to go to school. The only downside is her lack of magic, and instinctual impulses.

Her abilities and smarts land her in an unknown school; Fairy Tail High School for the Highly Advanced, or FTHS, where she is met with the true colors of her new society. Discrimination, social status, and just simple, high school anxiety. Not only that, but she has mysterious dreams, with herself as the main character. Will she make it through the school year?

Natsu is just an ordinary kid; he's not famous, and definitely isn't from some conglomerate family. To make up for that, he's kind, smart, and has a sense of humor. He finds the smallest of things interesting. Which, of course, leads him straight to Lucy, the social outcast.

One thing leads to another, and soon, Natsu is teaching this strange girl the world of magic. They become friends rather quickly, and her unexpected actions never ceases to calm his storm of a day.

Natsu realizes his feelings for her, but isn't sure how to convey them. Will he manage to get through her thick-headed personality, or will he be forever considered "just a friend"?

As the characters go through their own social problems, other problems start to arise. Magic manipulation, and an old alumni threaten them as Lucy attempts to recover from her past. Will they make it out alive, or will the world end, with the villain as the victor?
