Hello everyone. I'm back again with another chapter.

In fact, this may be the last one for the story. Maybe. I don't know just yet. Going to have to see how it goes.

Remember, only part of the past that I made for Natsu/E.N.D is shown in the story, as what got Natsu to stumble upon Igneel is something else. However this kind of past will be present in whenever the next story after my "You are loved Natsu Dragneel" happens. Don't know when that will be though.

I figure I would explain that just in case I end the story but if not everything was revealed. So yeah.

Anyway, enjoy, or not, I don't care you all have your opinions.

Everything belongs to their respective owners.

Chapter Twelve: Peace… for now

Everyone in the main guild hall was confused as they tried to figure this entire thing out. How was Natsu able to survive such an incident? Normally anyone else would have kicked the bucket if something like that happened to them. If those Nightmare Animatronics were simply dreams… or nightmares in this case, of Natsu, it would explain how the spell worked. Though everyone was still confused as to what actually started the nightmares. Did the nightmares start from the result of the bite? Or did it start before hand?

"All of this thinking is hurting my brain." Gray, who recovered from Mirajane's attack on him and Gajeel, spoke as he sat down at one of the tables.

"Look, the only way we'll actually learn when the nightmares started is if we ask Nastu." Laxus pointed out, as he made his way back to the top floor along with his Thunder God Tribe.

"I doubt Natsu will be in any condition to tell us that." Lucy told them, knowing that the pink haired fire dragon slayer wouldn't want to tell them something so personal like this.

"But some of us have seen the vision though Lucy. It's not like he's hiding anything else from us right?" Lisanna stated as she was still holding Happy. As much as the white haired woman hated to admit it, they did know about Natsu being the victim of the bite of Fredbear and Friends Pizzeria. While she didn't want to go into more about the pink haired male's personal life, the whole situation in general made that rather impossible.

"How do we know we're sure about that?" Macao spoke up, getting the others to look at him, "I'm sure there are still things we don't know about. Like you told us it was clear Natsu had a life before meeting Igneel. So what happened that got Natsu to run into him?"

Everyone in the room couldn't deny the dark blue haired man's words. It's true that the situation they were thinking of only involve the animatronics, but it still gave them more questions than answers. Before this, Natsu told them that Igneel found him in the woods when he was just an infant. From the new information they have however, Natsu was older and had a life elsewhere before he ran into the fire dragon. Did something happen after the Fredbear and Friend's Pizzera incident that caused him to eventually be founded by Igneel?

They were snapped out of their thoughts when they heard someone coming down the stairs. Everyone turned to see both Erza and Natsu coming down to the main guild hall.

"Natsu!" Some of them shouted in relief, as the others simply hid their concern, as they were glad that the pink haired dragon slayer was alright. Natsu looked up to see pretty much everyone looking at him now, feeling rather nervous by the looks for some reason.

Luckily, Erza noticed the look of discomfort Natsu had from all the air. She cleared her throat, getting the others to look at the red head woman now.

"I would suggest not staring at him like that. You're making him feel uncomfortable." Erza told them, though to them it sounded like a commanding tone.

However everyone did what she said. As the pink haired male and red haired woman got onto the floor, Makarov went to the two mages.

"How are you feeling Natsu?" The old guild master asked the fire dragon slayer with a concern tone.

"I'm fine gramps," Natsu told him with a small, but gentle smile, "Nothing to worry about."

This got Makarov and everyone else, even if some of them didn't show it, to be relieved that he's alright. However the guild master knew that Natsu had answers that went to their questions.

"Natsu," Makarov started to speak, getting Natsu's and Erza's attention once again. The bald master of Fairy Tail knew he had to choose his words carefully; otherwise he might risk setting Natsu off from what they learned so far, "I'm glad to hear you're alright. But my boy, this whole situation has left us with questions. Questions that we think you have answers too."

Natsu only looked at the small man before him. He figured they are wondering why he bolted when Nightmare Fredbear showed up, unaware that everyone was aware of the incident that he was put through when he was younger.

"I'm sorry gramps, but I'm not really ready to tell you that." Natsu admitted, as right now he didn't want to deal with all of this right now. Makarov was about to respond, but Erza spoke up first.

"Pardon my interruption master, but maybe it's wise for us to wait right now," Erza told him, getting Makarov and everyone else to look at the red head in confusion. Erza simply looked at Natsu when she continued, "Natsu is in no condition to tell us right now. We will wait until he's ready to tell us." She requested of him. While no one else noticed, Natsu smiled at her, glad that she was respecting his decision to not tell them all yet.

Everyone simply wondered what Makarov was going to say, until the small guild master simply sighed.

"Alright. I guess it would be wrong of me to push the subject wouldn't it?" He asked them, "But Natsu," He started to speak once again, getting the fire dragon slayer to look at the guild master once more, "We only want to help, you know that right?" He once again asked the pink haired male.

"I know." Natsu responded to him with a small smile forming on his face. Makarov seemed to be content with that for now, knowing that Natsu will tell them the entire story when he is ready. Natsu yawned as he began to head to the guild's door, "Come on Happy. We're going home for the night."

"Aye sir!" Happy, who wasn't feeling bad anymore due to seeing Natsu up and well, exclaimed with a smile as he followed the pink haired male out of the building.

As they made their way out of the guild hall, Natsu looked at Erza before smiling at her. Luckily only Erza noticed this, who smiled back, knowing that the pink haired male was probably grateful that she wouldn't tell the others. And then the fire dragon slayer and the blue exceed left.

Eventually, everyone else felt like retiring for the night too. While they still wanted to know more about the nightmares, they figured it was time for them to worry about that later. As Erza was about to make her way out of the guild hall…

"Erza…" Makarov started to speak, getting her attention as she saw the small master of Fairy Tail behind her.

"Yes master?" The red haired woman questioned, wondering what he wanted to say to her.

"Did he tell you?" He asked her, wondering if the pink haired dragon slayer had told her everything while they were up there. Erza simpy sighed as she turned around to look at the master properly.

"Yes. He did master. But I promised him I wouldn't tell anyone else right now. And for now, I wish to respect his wishes." Erza explained to the old man, who simply looked back at her.

"Alright," Makarov spoke as he also started to head out of the door, "At least he opened up to someone." He finished with a small smile as he left the building.

Erza only smiled at the guild master's words as she then exited the building as well. There were still questions still unanswered, but she wouldn't push Natsu right now. She will respect his privacy, knowing that this whole mess will take some time for Natsu to get over.

They don't have every answer right now about Natsu's past, but right now they at least learned something new about the pink haired male, even if he thought only Erza knew. However, from this everyone had still learned…

…About the nightmares of Natsu Dragneel.

Okay, the ending might be stupid, but I'm not good at coming up with ending. Then again I'm not good at coming up with anything original either.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the story. Now that this story's done, I now have an excuse to start another one!

…Gosh I suck at self control.

Anyway, see you all next time in my other stories, whenever that will be.
