Chapter 1

Lucy laid on her boyfriend's shoulder as she stared at the winter woods through the window of the school bus. His head laid on top of hers so she can see part of his dark brown hair as he slept quietly. Her school made plans to go to a winter resort for the break so she and Keith decided to go. They decided it would be a great place to start their 2 months' anniversary of going out.

Lucy had just came to the school two months ago as well and Keith was the first person to hang out with her. The second day of her new school, Keith immediately asked her out which she surprisingly agreed. I guess that was love of first sight… Since then, Keith was her only friend...

As she looked outside at the passing wilderness, it had started to rain. It had made the bus drearier than it already is. Through the quietness of the vehicle, Lucy can hear the muttering and whispers from the other students.

"I can't believe he's here…" A girl whispered to her friend beside her. Lucy leaned from her chair, inching her ear closer to them with curiosity.

"If I knew he would be here, I wouldn't gone to this damn trip" Her friend whispered harshly back. They kept murmuring to each other in quiet tones while Lucy raised a blonde eyebrow.

'Who were they talking about?' Lucy thought. She turned her head a little more, to listen in to the girls' conversation. But they weren't the only ones who were talking about the same thing.

"Damn I don't want to die on this trip" A boy groaned and grabbing his face in horror. "I want to go back!"

"I just wish that he died with them" A boy said to the groaning boy, bitterly. Everyone continued to talk about "Him" or "He".

That's when Lucy realized that everyone was sneaking glances at the only boy in the back rows of the bus. A few seats on the bus that were near the boy weren't occupied by anyone. Even the teacher wouldn't go near the him. It's like he had a dark aura that can hurt people if they come close to him.

Lucy had seen that boy a couple of times at school. He was the kid who wouldn't even come to class or home room. Lucy sometimes sees him walking outside the building. She always thought he was part of a gang by examining the harsh words said behind the boy's back. But she haven't given much thought to him. She turned slightly to get a better look at the boy in the back, carefully not waking Keith. The boy had spiky pink hair, he has bangs but with a couple of strands spiked up, and to Lucy, he look like a regular teen. He wore a red jacket and the edge was the designs of flames. He wore normal jeans as if he didn't care about the cold weather that awaits. He has a duffel bag beside him, it was probably filled with his ski equipment, the blonde wasn't sure... But the thing that Lucy is really surprised at was the look on his face. It was so expressionless that made him almost seem lifeless. The man's eyes wasn't seen because his dangling pink bangs that shadowed the upper part of his face. Suddenly he looked up slowly at Lucy as if he knew she was staring at him the whole entire time.

What surprised Lucy was his eyes. They were gold! They also look like a predator, who's hunting for its prey. The kind that pounces on the weak and the animal caught in his arms, won't be able to see the next day. His gold eyes stared into her like he was reading her soul. His orbs were just as blank as his face...But the blonde caught a hint of suspicion within his gold tinted gaze. Then suddenly, the boy smiles. Lucy immediately flinched which accidentally woke her once sleeping boyfriend, Keith, up.

"W-what?" He murmurs drowsily in his husky voice. "Lucy?"

"Sorry did I wake you?" Lucy apologized, clapping her hands together in a pleading gesture as she immediately turned back from the strange boy. Keith smiled at her and kissed her forehead lightly. Lucy's mouth formed a smile back as she felt warmth radiating from the spot where her boyfriend kissed her. She then continued laying on his shoulders, enjoying his warmth. But she can feel the gaze of the boy's eyes still glued to her head. The part that confuses her is the way he looked at her.

"Hey…Who is the boy back there?" Lucy asked Keith, staring at his light green eyes that she loved. He looked back at the pink haired boy and a grimace forms in his pale lips.

"That's Natsu…" He said with pure hate but Lucy heard fear build up in his voice. "You've been at this school for about two months already and you haven't heard of him at all?"

Lucy shrugged. "I drown out the voices around me..." Her voice trailed off at her white lie but Keith didn't notice it.

"And you still get A's in class?!" He asked exasperated. Lucy giggles at his childlike behavior but her laughter didn't last long until she caught sight of the boy at the back of the bus. 'Natsu' grabbed his phone from his pocket, typed a few things, frowns at the screen and then snaps it shut. He quietly slips it back into his pocket. Lucy hears Keith grunt. Lucy slowly turns back to him.

"As I was saying, he is the major leader of the Unluckies" He continued further. He began to stare at the boy in the back who was now looking at both of them. And again, the boy smiles but it looked almost like a smirk.

"That doesn't explain much…" Lucy whispered back. "Who are the Unluckies?"

Keith looked surprisingly back at Lucy and continues to explain to his curious girlfriend. "The Unluckies are people who survived death but had seen their loved one or a huge amount of people dying right in front of them. And that guy…" He pointed his thumb toward the boy again. "…is the one who seen death more times than the rest of the other Unluckies."

Then Keith looked suspicious. "Are you sure you haven't heard of them before? Or maybe at your old school?"

"No." Lucy murmurs as pain struck her head. It was the truth. She had heard the name before but she never given much thought to anything these days. She doesn't even watch the news or was into the popular things these days. All she heard now was the latest gossip and trends. A few celebrities from here and there as well.

"But he survived death, he would be considered lucky not unlucky" She said to Keith, eager to change the subject. But in result, he grimaced at her.

"That wouldn't be considered lucky, especially toward him" He snapped back in a harsh whisper. "But the strange part is that guy has an aura of death. You get one step close to him and..." He made a slicing gesture at his throat. "…You die"

That made Lucy surprised, her eyes widen with shock. "They actually die when he's around?"

Keith nodded. "Last year way before you came, he came toward a couple of students and said something. Later on a truck ran over the same people he talked to" Keith continued. Lucy thought that may have been an accident but the way Keith is telling the story, she'd starting to believe its true. Lucy glanced back to the pink-haired boy, Natsu. She swore she saw him made a motion that looked like a small shake of his head. Surprisingly, the girl almost believed him.

Keith continued to tell Lucy all the gruesome stories about the pink haired boy. But Lucy still wasn't sure if this boy wasn't the cause of these accidents.

"Keith…?" Lucy whispered lightly. The wind was blowing fiercely and loud enough to hear it swoosh. The rain went pitter-patter against the glass and the gray haze created a gloom over their expressions.

"Yes Lucy?"

"If I became an Unlucky, will you-?" Immediately, Keith's friend, that sat right of them, jumped into this conversation.

"Can you guys stop being lovey dovey? Some people need some sleep here" A green haired boy said sarcastically. Keith rolled his eyes at him and slapped his head, they starting a different conversation, with a new topic. Lucy doesn't know if he even heard her.

Once again...Lucy was alone.

Suddenly, there was a grunt from behind her. Lucy slowly peeked behind her chair, seeing some students, not giving a care about her and the pink haired boy looking to his left. Lucy saw the boy's gold eye glanced at her slightly. Lucy realized, surprisingly, that he was acting nonchalant. The girl wasn't sure if he was the initial cause for the noise. Then the thought dreaded to her. Did that guy knew that she was upset?

That theory remained in her mind for a while as she slowly turned back to the front, trying to not look behind her.

The rain began to pour harder until the rain shifted into snow. Soon enough the weather turned into a huge blizzard. The bus came to a stop to a resting stop, just a few meters from the restrooms and cottage. Lucy gazed from side to side, wondering why they had stopped.

"Excuse me everyone. The storm had gotten quite strong so we may have to stay here for a bit" The teacher says into the microphone that was attached to the bus and the speakers echoed throughout the vehicle.

There was a few groans.

"Now now, think positively. We should make use of this time to chat among yourselves, meet new friends and such. And if anyone of you students can check that rest stop" She stops and points to the building outside. "...Over there, to see if its open, that would be very helpful. Two volunteers should be enough. So would anyone please raise your hand?" She then scanned the bus for any volunteers but no one raised their hand. No one was sane enough to cross through the snowy blizzard. After a while, Lucy looked around and was about to raise her hand until she hears a loud Gasp. Her hand slowly shrinks down and she wondered what's the commotion.

There was one person who raised his hand a little earlier than her… A deafening silence occurred as everyone turned to the back. 'Of course it would be him' Lucy thought.

The blonde watched as the teacher froze like a statue and clenched her clipboard. She started to tremble and looked like she was going to snap her clipboard in half.

"A-all right go ahead Natsu-san" She stammered which was obviously heard from the boy with the gold eyes. Natsu nodded as if he ignored her stutters, he stood up and walked down the long aisle. The students crowded against the glass to get away from the pink-haired teen as he walked past them. As he came toward Lucy's and Keith seats, he looked at Lucy with his gold eyes again. Once more, Lucy sees confusion in his eyes, she found that strange... Keith gave him a hard glare but Lucy continued to look at him, not from fright but with curiosity. Lucy watched him as he passed by. She can feel his body heat as he walked, another thing that Lucy thought was peculiar.

After Natsu had exited the bus into the storm and everyone gave a huge sigh and continued whatever they were doing. The blonde felt like she was the only one that was flabbergasted. Lucy was still shocked if the boy, who is hated by everyone, can feel warm like a human being. Keith looked at her face and wrapped his arms around her.

"Are you alright Lucy?" He asked, enveloping her in his warmth. Lucy just sat there, with her boyfriend's arms still coiled around her, as she had a blank expression on her features.

"Man I wished the bus would just leave without him" Keith's friend, Fushima turned around again. He showed his dark gray eyes that gleamed with unknown mischief.

"Why would we do that? His parents would be worried sick if the bus leaves without him" Lucy suddenly said which sounded like she was defending the "Unlucky". Keith stares at her with a blank expression. Fushima gives her the evil eye.

"I'll bet his parents are demons like him" Fushima spat at her. The blonde was cut short and she didn't have a reply. Keith laughed along with his buddy like idiots as Lucy turned to the window, looking for the Natsu.

"Hey Keith, you got competition. Looks like your girl wants the dead boy" Fushima guffawed at his comment while Keith's cheery attitude shifts drastically. He glared daggers at him. Lucy immediately turned around and gave Fushima a glare as well. The green haired boy held his hands in a 'Peaceful' gesture.

"I was just kidding! Take a joke will ya? I know you guys are perfect together and Blondie wouldn't date a dead man"

"Damn straight, she won't!" Keith said angrily as he hugged Lucy tighter to his body, in a protective stance. The blonde's brown eyes looked at Fushima again. She saw him mouthed out a few words as he start back to his seat. It seemed like he said "We'll see"

The girl was angry. Not only that, she wasn't needed here. Subconsciously, she hastily grabbed her pink heart crux jacket and zipped it on.

"W-What are you doing?" Keith said grabbing her arm as she stood up from his tight embrace.

"I'm going to help him" Lucy said as she saw her boyfriend's terrified expression. His mouth gaped open like a fish.

"Don't go. He's there" Keith insisted his green eyes flashing with fear.

"Don't worry I'll be fine. Besides he probably needs some help" Lucy assured him. She leaned down to give Keith a kiss on his cheek. His eyes still wide open as she pulled away. His grasp loosened as she pulled away. As she walked down the aisle, she saw the green haired boy's mouth moved again.

Despite the shouting of the students in the bus, Fushima's words were loud in her ears, she heard:

"What did I tell ya? She's going for the dead boy" Lucy immediately knew she was the only one who heard his echoing comment. She talked with her teacher and then left quickly...

She trudged through the snow that was building up one snowflake after another. She kept walking until she saw the resting place's figure in the distance. It was pretty far than she expected. She is quickly freezing up and her hands felt like they were so numb that they can fall off from the cold. She found footprints imprinted on the snow, which she assumed was Natsu's. She stepped in them, hoping to get to the resting place faster. It seemed to work and in no time she was there.

The cottage Lucy saw before...looks like a ghost town. Heck, she bet this place hadn't been occupied for a long time. She stepped into the shack but it creaked once she stepped in. She tried to warm herself up first. The porch was rickety and made noise in every step. There was small tracks of dust littered inside, all over the counter and a few chairs. It looked like a haunted house for Lucy. She sees big footprints on the dust-covered floor that was going in different directions as if someone was exploring the place. The tracks were new so she immediately knew it was the pink haired man. Judging by the tracks, it seems like the Unlucky was taking his time in this place rather than hurrying back to the bus. As if he wants to go back to the bus where insults are pointing to him in every direction. Lucy almost felt like this pink haired guy was more human than people think he is.. By the way, where's Natsu?

She looked through the scary resting stop for the boy with the golden eyes. She screamed when she encountered spiders and cried out when something that popped out when it was just a rat. She was right, this was a haunted house and it wants to scare the crap out of the blonde.

"Natsu?" She whispered, as she gathered more courage and walked around once more. As she turned into a new room, a face immediately appeared tight in front of her and she screamed again. The man's hand clasped his big hand onto her lips to silence her. The palm was warm and radiated heat. Lucy's brown eyes met the person's orbs and she suddenly calmed down for some reason.

The man has gold tinted eyes and has pink spiky hair. It was Natsu.

"Why did you follow me?" He said which startle Lucy because she never heard him speak before. His voice was gruff like Keith's but it was different. More gentle...But that didn't match his angry tone.

"I-I" She stammered, while she walked back.

"Spit it out" He said, anger in his voice but he took a few steps back from her. Lucy is confused, this was totally different from the gentle smile he had given her before. Then she realized what he had said.

Lucy swallowed and spoke. "I was looking for you so we can get back to the bus" She said. But the teen was eyeing her strangely. His eyes wandered up and down at Lucy. Somehow she knew that he wasn't looking at her body but was examining her reactions.

"You go back yourself. I'm staying here" He says, tsking. Lucy frowned. What happened to that smile and genuine innocent attitude?

"You're not like the others…I realized that when you looked at me at the bus. You're not afraid of me?" He murmured after as he gave her a warily glance.

"No…" Lucy said cautiously. Natsu looked at her with his animal eyes like he can read her mind. He knew there was some confusion written in her eyes. Lucy shifted uncomfortably at his intense glare.

Abruptly, Natsu took a step toward her and forcefully kissed her in her lips. Prying her mouth open with his tongue. Lucy's eyes widened as he grabbed her head so she can't get away. Lucy struggled to get away but he kissed even harder. After the failed attempts of getting free, Lucy stood there limp in his grasp. His tongue explored her mouth and took every one of her dignity. She can never forgive herself for this and she can't forgive this man. This action was going over the limit, the quiet mean she saw on the bus wasn't like she expected at all...

A few minutes later, he pulled away from her mouth and licked his lips. His wet tongue that went into the blonde's mouth, licked his lips almost teasingly at the blonde. He grinned at her as Lucy felt her moist lips from the intense make out section. The man kissed her. Without her permission. It was a French kiss as well. What would Keith say? What would her boyfriend say?! Will he break up with her?! No! she didn't want them to break up! He would probably leave you! Yeah he probably will! You will always be alone!... What Natsu said next, shocked the girl even more.

"I don't believe you. From now on I dislike you" And he got up and walked outside. Leaving a heavy breathed Lucy in shock. The man was getting stranger and stranger...

While the girl got up, she felt a small tremor in the ground. The blizzard blew ghostly winds and blocked nearly most of her hearing. Lucy's eyebrows furrowed as she stared at the rickety ground. Was that a small earthquake?

She reluctantly left the room and went outside as well. The "Unlucky" staring at something. His face distorted into a grimace. She looked at the distance and tried to see what he was looking at. The blizzard was clouding her sight but she can make out a little plume of smoke. That was the small earthquake.

It was smoke was coming from the place where the bus stood... Lucy's eyes widened and quickly ran to the bus. Trudging through the snow and suffered through the cold but she didn't care. She had to get to the bus. Where everyone is. Where Keith is.

"Keith!" She screamed despite her lungs lacked oxygen. Again she didn't care, she starts to run faster. She kept screaming her boyfriend's name until her own voice choked with her tears.

When she got to the bus, the roof of the bus was lit in flames. People were screaming and they are locked inside the bus. Lucy scanned the windows, looking for her boyfriend but the smoke filled the inside. Suddenly she can see Keith knocking his fists on the glass. His face looked like he was coughing but she knew he can see her. He seemed to be screaming her name. But Lucy didn't know what to say. She knew that she can't save pink haired man placed his hand onto Lucy's shoulder like he's saying "Its time". He pulled Lucy lightly backward a step and the bus exploded.

Then she blacked out.

When the blonde finally woke up from her small nap. Her eyes met the light snowing sky and then her brown hues snapped open. She was lying on the ground and soft piles of snow layered on her torso. She whipped her head around, hoping that the explosion hadn't happened. But her body was about 10 meters away from the burnt ground and melted metal. Tears streamed down her pale cheeks and sobbed at the charred lumps. Lucy felt like she was about to throw up.

While she was sobbing, the pink haired man was looking around the burnt rubble. His gold eyes remained onto a large chunk of someone's charred carcass. His mouth was murmuring a few silent things and then he turned and walked back to the crying girl. His mouth frowned when he saw her. When he was close, he suddenly grabbed her arm and yanks her up. He grabbed her face and forced her to look at him. She was afraid that he would kiss her again despite her boyfriend's death. But he didn't try to.

"If you want to get back home, we have to work together" But this time, his voice wasn't cold and filled with bitter anger. Instead, he sounded gentle and comforting. "But…you have experienced your loved ones death and more others" Lucy knew what he was going to say next. She tried to block out his statement but it only made those words echo louder.

"You are now…An Unlucky"
