Prologue

Dark Forest

A man was running trough the forest at late night. His clothes were torn and bloody and covered in blood. There was a deep cut on his torso, also smaller cuts on his hands and face. He didn't hear anything expect the thunders and heavy rain, but he kept on running not looking back. Soon he saw a blurry light on the distance and he realized it was a small hut. He opened the door but he fainted because of exhausted. The last thing he saw was something yellow.
When he opened his eyes he found himself in a bed. He sit up and looked around. The room was small with a queen sized bed, a small wardrobe and a desk. It was clean and smelled sweet. Like jasmine, honey with a hint of strawberry. He wore brown shorts and his body was covered in bandages.
"Oh you are awake that's good. You have to eat, but try to rest, your injuries are pretty bad." Said a blonde haired girl not older than 17.
"Who are you?"asked Natsu.
"Oh my name is Lucy. You? "She asked with a smile on her face.
"I'm Natsu. "As he said his name her smile become wider. Natsu looked at her confused.
"How did I get here? Where am I?" He asked slowly as his eyes scanned the room again.
"Three days ago you were running in the rain covered in blood and mud. You opened the door of our house and fainted right after that. What were you running from? "
Natsu looked down on his hands, and played with his fingers. After a few seconds he lifted his gaze to look in her chocolate brown eyes.
"I've been asleep for 3 days?" the girl nodded.
"Well its a long story, I don't want to make you bored. "He said.
"I have time" she replied. Suddenly his stomach began to growl, and the girl chuckled.
"How about we eat breakfast and you tell me?"
"How about after breakfast?"he asked. The girl got up from the chair and nodded. She helped up Natsu and walked him to the kitchen. When they reached the table the door opened revealing a blue haired girl with groceries her hand.
"Wendy! Just in time! Natsu just woke up. Natsu this is Wendy, she is my little sister. Wendy he is Natsu." Lucy said pointing toward the named boy. Wendy waved and smiled shyly at him, while he gave her a big toothy grin.
"How does bacon and eggs sound?"asked Lucy. They both began nodding wildly, and she giggled a bit. After a few minutes the food was done and they were seated around the small round table.
"If fery goof Lushy" said Natsu while stuffing his face. Lucy made a disgusted face while Wendy laughed loudly.
"thank you, but please don't talk while your mouth is full." she said with a frown, Natsu just looked at her bashfully. They were talking and laughing as they ate. After they finished eating Lucy walked back Natsu to her room to change the bandages.
"So tell me about yourself. "Said Lucy.
"What do you wanna know?" asked Natsu.
"There is something that bothering me." She frowned.
"And what would that be?"
"Is your hair naturally pink?" Natsu looked at her for a minute than he burst out laughing.
"Rea-ally-really? That's what bothered you? You are such a weirdo" He asked as tears flow down his face. "But to answer your, yes it's naturally pink. Why would I die it?"
He asked after he finally calmed down a bit, but he kept chuckling. "I'm not a weirdo you idiot!" Shouted Lucy with red face. "Calm down...Geez. is there anything else you wanna know? "
"Tell me your story, how you got here, or why who attacked you?"
"Hmmm... My story... You might wanna lay down next to me, because its gonna take a long time." He said with a serious expression on his face. The girl looked at him sceptically, with flushed face.
"Oh come on! I won't do anything. I promise." he said. The girl slowly approached the bed and lied down, facing him.
"So... did you hear that the king died 2 month ago?" he asked. Lucy nodded. "Well he is my father and I was going to the capital to the funeral. On my way an elite assassin crew attacked me and my friends.

Flasback

Natsu and his friends were sitting in a cart, going to the capital.
"Stupid motion sickness" mumbled Natsu as he rolled on his seat clutching his stomach with a blue face.
"Hahaha. You are so pathetic Ash-Brains. I wonder how you gonna take ov..." the rest of his sentence was cut with a fist in his face. An orange haired man burst out laughing at the scene in front of him.
"You wanna go Ice Bastard?" he asked as he jumped up, but he instantly fell on the floor. Gray began to laugh harder.
"Guys stop it" said Jellal as he looked out the window watching the pouring rain.
"what the..." he said as suddenly the door opened and 4 men jumped in the cart. Their face was covered, and they wore black clothes with a weird symbol on the left side of their chest. The cart stopped Natsu and the others got out, and got in fighting positions.
"Gray, take Natsu somewhere safe, Loki and I will handle this" shouted Jellal.
"Hell no! I won't leave a fight! The ride was so boring, finally something interesting happens and you become to act like my mom. 'Take him somewhere safe.'" said Natsu, the last part mockingly.
"its not like I could tell him where to go, you know him better than that." shrugged Gray.
"Good I'm all fired up" said Natsu with a big grin on his face.
And with that the fight began; but it wasn't long, the assassins were fast, but not faster than them.
"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack" shouted Natsu as he knocked out one of the guys. The other two got knocked out by Loki and Jellal.
"Ice Make: Prison" Gray said with a smirk, as he got the last one in trap.
"Why did you attack..." Jellal fall on his knees and fainted.
"JELLAL!" the others run to his side to check is he was okay, but more men came. The three whom were knocked out, got on their feet, and the fourth broke out from the ice prison.
"Did you really think we were that weak? I mean really? We have the biggest and best assassin family in the kingdom. Can't you see our symbol?" A man asked, his eyes were shouting his smirk.
"Sabertooth" whispered Loki with wide eyes.
"Oh so you do now who are we. Good than we don't have to waste anymore time." he said as he charged forward ready to punch. They began to fight, but didn't use magic.
"They are just playing with us"panted Gray. "We have to figure out something... And Jellal..." he looked over to him. He began to run to his side, but one of the assasins were faster and kicked him in the stomach. Gray fell back groaning and everything went black.
"Do you... know what the Hundred Cuts Death means?" asked a man Natsu with a sadistic grin. "Its when you get cut 99 times, but you won't die just for the hundreds, of course its really painful. I could never really go for a hundred, mostly I killed them by 79. Let's see how far I can go with you." he said as he pulled out his knife. Natsu blocked most of his attacked, but got cut a lot, and he lost a lot of blood. He kicked the man in front of him in the armpit as he tried to cut him again. As the kick landed the man lost his balance and stab Natsu in his torso.
"Dang! It was only 43. Let's see if you can go any further." he began to attack again.
"Natsu! Go! We will get defeat the somewhat, but you have to reach the capital in time. We will meet in Magnolia! If you won't leave now, we will be in even deeper shit! "said Loki when he saw what happened. He tried to move, but something paralyzed him.
"Why... can't I... move?" he asked as sweat run down his forehead..
"Yeah that would be me. I can't just let you go to help your friend now, can I?" a woman come out from the dark. "Now its time for you to sleep."
"Not yet!" shouted Loki and punched her.
"Natsu! Leave already!" he shouted. Natsu knew he was right, but he didn't want to leave his friends, and Loki knew that too, so he wishpered something in a medal and threw it at Natsu. A bright green light appeared around Natsu and he disappeared.
"YOU! What have you done?" screamed the woman at him. Loki just smiled smugly, and the woman knocked him out. "I'm going to be the one who torture him!" Shouted the woman in rage.
"Wow Minerva is angry~" sang a man.
"Shut up Sting!"she snapped at him. "Rouge send a message to the boss that we lost him."

Natsu woke up panting and sweating. The rain didn't stop, but he found himself in a forest, with a medal on his lap. He put the medal in his pocket and began to run, to try and find his friends.
