"WHAT DO YOU MEAN A DEMON SAVED YOU?!" Levy screamed in horror as Lucy told the fairy about her encounter with Natsu last night.

"It's true. He saved me." Lucy nodded. "Why would I even lie about it?"

Levy sighed. "You're right." "Did you at least get his name?"

"Yeah, his name is Natsu."

Levy's eyes bulged out. "Natsu. As in Natsu Dragneel."

"Yeah, although he never told me his last name." Lucy nodded.

Levy got out of her chair and searched for a book on the stack on their table.

"Pink hair, onyx eyes, toothy grin."

"Yeah, that's him." Lucy nodded. "Have you met him before?"

"No, and I don't want to." Levy looked directly at the blonde with a serious look and opened the book she found on the stack. She looked through the pages and stopped at a page about Demons.

"That's him right?" Levy pointed at a portrait of what looked like a Prince with pink hair. Lucy nodded to assure Levy, but the blonde is somewhat scared due to Fairy's reaction.

"What's wrong?" Lucy asked her best friend. She glanced at the portrait in the book. It looks old, probably painted around the 16th or 17th century.

"Natsu isn't someone you should be hanging out with, you have to be careful Lu."

"But, he seems nice."

"Nice?! Natsu Dragneel is anything but he is not nice!!"

------

Screams of agony echoed through the dark and creepy atmosphere. Dusty lamps are the only ones giving life to the decrypted place. Stands in the middle of the seemingly endless set of mazes is a tall and dark castle. The cackling of demons can be heard but the agonizing screams of the tortured souls are louder than anything else in Hell.

Contrary to popular belief, Hell isn't a burning hot place where souls are trapped and burned for all eternity. Hell is a cold and dark place where souls are tortured in every way possible for all of eternity.

Natsu Dragneel fixed his black suit as he exited one of the various doors in the maze.

"I had a great time." Natsu chuckled. "See you on Thursday Ted."

Demons are responsible for torturing the dammed souls in Hell. It's their job, their purpose. Demons are hand-picked humans that have lived and died and are known to be evil and cruel. Angels are the same way but the other way around.

Wings sprouted out of Natsu's back and he took flight, flapping his wings, leaving black feathers to fall on the ground. The only way out of Hell is up. Only Demons can leave and the dammed souls remain.

Natsu Dragneel, born in 1598, the second Prince of the Alvarez Empire. Said to have slaughtered both his own mother and father and caused genocide.

A figure puffed, a cloud of smoke that swirled around with the guidance of the wind. He combed his raven hair back as he sighed as he felt another huge rush within him.

"After all these years, I wonder, how come you haven't grown tired of the taste of cigarettes."   A soft voice spoke. He could hear her heels clicking louder as the figure approached him.

"Humans have made its taste interesting over the years. Care for a stick, sweetheart." He offered a stick from his pack to the lady beside him. He stared into her deep ocean blue eyes that he was willing to get lost in any day. She's beautiful, perfect in every way.

"I'll pass." She briefly replied.

He chuckled and placed the pack back in his coat. He took a few puffs from his cigarette before throwing it away.

"Did Natsu call you here?" He asked.

"He didn't specify any details but he deemed it to be extremely important." She replied.

"You don't think-"

"Unfortunately so, she's all he could think about after she died and the promise of her reincarnation."

"He's hopeless. I mean it's been decades."

"Gray, don't say that, you'd do the same thing too if you're in his position, right?"

"I guess your right." He sighed.

Gray Fullbuster, born in 1612, was heir to the throne of the Northern Isles. Said to have been born with a curse, a curse that would lead to the kingdom's downfall.

He stared at her longingly. She's right, he will do the same. The moment he died the first thing he did was visit her in the castle. He can't think of anything else to do with his new life but to be by her side.

"You know, I missed how you talk in third person." Gray managed to change the subject as his thoughts ran wild.

"It's been eons, do you really think I'll still like that." She chuckled. "But if you missed it that much. Juvia is willing to comply."

Juvia Lockser, born in 1613, was crowned Princess of the Amefurashi Kingdom. Said to have an affair with a demon and cursed the kingdom with a never-ending rainfall.

Their conversation was soon interrupted by a harsh wind that was caused by a certain demon.

"Could you land a little gentler next time?" Gray growled.

The figure in front of them chuckled. His salmon hair is a mess. It only shows just how fast he's flying.

"I found her!" He shouted with unimaginable glee as he fixed his hair. "I found Lucy!!! She's alive!!"

"Are you sure?." Gray's voice grew in skepticism. This is the first time, he claimed to have found the woman he seeks.

"For real this time. I'm sure it's her." His smile continued to grow larger.

"Just follow me." Once more, Natsu flapped his wings and ascended to the sky.

The two figures left behind simply shrugged and followed Natsu to the sky. Leaving trails of black iridescent feathers in their wake.

------

The three demons stared down and observed the blonde from the second floor of the library.

"I have to go!!" Natsu exclaimed and was about to leave, but Gray grabbed the back of his shirt, preventing him from leaving.

"What are you gonna do?"

"I'm gonna talk to her," Natsu replied in a duh tone. Thinking it's the only option.

"And tell her that she's the reincarnation of your lover. I don't think so."

"Why not?!"

"Natsu, that's not how this works," Juvia spoke. "You'll only freak her out. You have to let her remember you. This whole ordeal takes time and patience."

Natsu sighed in defeat. They're right. He can't tell her. He's just way too excited to see her again that he couldn't think straight.

------

Lucy flipped through the pages of several different books, her curiosity getting the best of her. She wants to learn more about him.

"Hey!" Lucy heard a familiar voice

She turned around and she was able to gaze into those dark orbs once more.

"It's you."
