{ 16 Shots - Team Natsu Edit }

Natsu led me into a kitchen full of people, they were all happy and smiling.

Unfortunately all that changed once I set foot in there. Their smiles dropped almost as if My presence had ruined their day.

That's because it did Lucy.

I sent a small shy smile, or Atleast tried to while my face is battered.

There were two girls and two guys, plus Natsu.

One guy had raven colored hair, eyes cold just like ice. He seemed monotone. He also didn't have a shirt on, which is something I was not brave enough to face.

The second guy looked a little bit more intimidating , he had dark blue hair with a red tattoo under and over his eye. His eyes are gorgeous though...not that I looked or anything.
I'm too scared.

The girls were gorgeous. There was a fairly tall crimson haired lady positioned beside the tattoo eye guy.  She had her eyes trained on me inspecting my every move. I was as stiff as a brick.
The second girl wasn't as intimidating, she has really short white hair. Bright blue eyes, she was pretty though.

Her smile screamed 'kind' but it made me very irritated for some reason.

"Natsu. What is she still doing here." The tattoo guy asked. I squeaked and kept my eyes downward not allowing them to look me in the eyes.

I'm scared...my hands started to tremble and I quickly put them in the pocket of my old hoodie. Mental note: burn this hoodie later.

"She isn't a threat." He responded. Natsu slowly became stiff as bored when the other dude opened his mouth.

"You dip shit! She's gonna attract other fucking gangs.  I mean don't you know whose bitch that is?!" He exclaimed and I flinched.

Surely he didn't know...

"Sting. From saber tooth. Yeah that very fucking gang who jacked our asses 4 years back." He went on to say, before Natsu could even say anything back.

I didn't give him the chance to either.

"I-I'm sorry... I should have told who he was. I didn't even know sting Owned a gang." I cried and ran towards the door, I wasn't even controlling myself.

Run away. It's all you know how to do Lucy.

Your time is limited. He will come for you.

You won't escape. Ever. Your his.

"Stop it!" I somehow found my way outside, it's raining -how cliche - and I can't see anything, I do however know for a fact that we're in the woods. My mother always taught me how to be aware of surroundings.

I felt like I was spinning. There were voices going all over the place, that's what I thought at-least until I'm zoned back in.

I open my eyes and looked up my head was facing the ground, I'm right back where I was before...in the kitchen but they all had smiles this time, well the girls at-least.

"Oh wow, your actually still around?" The raven haired/half naked guy asked. Natsu snorted "she won't be if you keep talking to her dressed like a damn fuckboy. No shirt. No shoes. No mother fucking service."

The blue haired fellow with a red tattoo under his eye burst out with laughter.

Was the hell just happened? Had I really just imagined that scene before??

I was way to busy starring at the boys, in awe. Im super fucking confused right now.

"Lucy right?" Startled I turned my head and was face to face with the red hair girl.

Since my voice don't wanna work I just nodded my head, my hands slightly trembling. "Sorry about scaring you last night, it's just a precaution we have to take here in our small town." She said with a small smile. "I'm Erza scarlet by the way. That blue hair fellow is my boyfriend. The half naked one would be...gray. A total num-nut, if you ask me." I just nodded along...

She was staring at my face I felt my cheeks heat up. Why is she staring?

"I can see you sticking around here...there's just something about you that makes me wanna be your friend. Almost as if we met before and already have a bond...weird right?" I was even more confused about what she said but I completely understood...I feel like these people are real...that they will actually stick around.

I don't trust anyone...I can't anymore.

"I'm jellal. Since my lovely-" he grabbed erzas hand and placed a kiss on the top of it. "Girlfriend, hadn't bother informing you. Welcome to our group of crazy friends." He said with a smile, my cheeks were Blazing. I didn't even hear him walk up.

"Well, it was great meeting you on semi normal standards...hate to cut our interaction short. Me and Jellal have a date to get too. Please enjoy your stay here as much as you can..." she gave me a look that said 'I know you can get through this.'

At that moment I was sure...this was meant to happen. I was bound to run into these people.

They didn't even know and yet welcomed me with open arms. My little daydream long forgotten.

An arm draped itself over my shoulder and I flinched. "Relax..." Natsu whispered into my ear. I shivered unintentionally... my cheeks were set on burning bright today... I wonder if they could see it through my beat up face..

Oh god. How could I let them see me like this?!
I started to breathe faster in fear of what they thought about me.

"Are you okay, Lucy?" Gray asked, his blue cold eyes narrowed at me and I made a nervous laugh, "I-I'm f-fine.."
He rolled his eyes, " liar." I kept my fake smile in place. "I just need some a-air.." I felt sick.

How could I have let my guard down so easily?
Oh god...I told Natsu I was abused...
Oh god. Sting. He's gonna come for me..he's gonna kill me this time.

I ran into the bathroom, not the best place for air but oh well. I threw up all this nasty water...since I hadn't ate in a while there was nothing to really throw up.

After I was done I sat down on the floor by the toilet and stared to cry. I'm scared...
I'm so scared...

Maybe I should just save myself from this hell and end it?
Good idea Lucy...you did bring your blades you know..be sure to slice extra deep to end us.

All of a sudden arms were wrapped around my body, very comfortable arms. They were strong muscular and warm.

Natsu.
I sobbed. "Shhh, hey beautiful...please don't cry." He cooed and I cried some more.

"I'm scared, Natsu.."

He pulled away from me and his hands grasped my face making me look him in his eyes.

"I will not let anyone hurt you, I can't really explain it...but lucy...I feel this need to Protect you...I feel a pull toward you. My heart is going crazy when I see you...and I literally just met you last night...you really have an impact on people..I would really like to try and keep you around...I wanna see where we go.." he whispered

"I wanna know your Complete story."
