Happy flies us to an open window by the side of the castle. It looked to be a library, lit with nothing but candles. For a demon's castle, it was tidy and neat.

"How are we gonna get the guards armor?!" Kcalb says whispering.
"I don't- ah ha." I look outside the library door and see two guards standing outside on their post.
"You want to knock them out?!" He blurts.
"Have a better plan?!" I take a deep sigh and focus to use an attack. It's been a while.

"Hey demons!" I yell to the two of them. They turn around quickly and I could see a magical aura grow around them. The two of them wore traditional knights armor.
"Lava dragon iron-"
"Wait!!" One of them shouted. The two took off their armor and exposed themselves. I knew them.

"R-Rogue? Sting?" I gasp. My two old friends. I run up to them as fast as I could and embrace the two. My eyes started burning, wanting to cry.
"You're alive.." Rogue whispered. We pulled apart and I stared at them.
"Happy!" Rogue hugged the blue exceed and patted him. Lector and Frosch were no where in sight.
"I can't believe it- I thought everyone was dead but then I discovered nobody was and-"
"(Y/N), what the hell are you doing? With a demon?! Step back, we'll take care of him-" I cut Sting off as he aimed at Kcalb.
"Stop!" I jumped in front of Him.
"He's my friend.." I whisper.
"What's going on?" Sting said backing away from me.
"Don't fear me! Listen you two. How do I shorten this-"
"(Y/N) has been living on her own for a year and then found me. Together we summoned Zeref where the four of us became a team. Zeref explained that Natsu is Not E.N.D. Infact E.N.D is Natsu's evil part, when Natsu and Zeref met on Tenrou island, E.N.D's soul separated from Natsu's making an identical copy of Natsu. The only way to kill E.N.D without hurting Natsu, is to A) make Natsu kiss his true love or B) kill Zeref. Now obviously Zeref is our friend now so that option is eliminated." Kcalb said standing next to me. I look at the twins and their mouths dropped.
"What he said." I smile at my demon friend.

"A whole year??" Rogue spoke first.
"You summoned Zeref?!" Sting said shocked.
"You guys are all friends?!"
"Natsu isn't E.N.D?"
"Kiss Natsu?!"

"No time to annotate. We need your armor-" I try to hurry the conversation. time was of the essence.
"Wait wait. Do you mean Natsu has to kiss you for E.N.D. to die?" Sting asked.
"Yes!" Happy blurted.
"No!" I blush hard. Something in me sparked- my heart started to beat faster and faster.

-flash back-

"God damn it!" I burry my face into my knees. I couldn't stop crying, my heart hurts too much. I can't even walk home- I'm in the rain drenched.

"So things didn't go as planned.." I look up to find Natsu holding an umbrella. He must be so disappointed in me. I was always strong, keeping us together. I was the helper, and now I needed it.. I'm so humiliated. I'm suppose to be a role model to him, now I'm a mess.

"I- I thought meeting my biological parents would help me get my mind off of-of- Atlas.." My heart hurts so much, I can't even think straight.
"You must think I'm pathetic.." I sniffle and look away from him, ashamed.

"No.. In fact, I think I respect you even more." Natsu said smiling. I look up, surprised.
"Wh-what?"
"You always were the most strongest, intelligent and mature out of the two of us. A strong woman. I like that. But you showed me your pain, your sorrow and all you had buried under that mask." He bent down on his knee.
"You're my best friend. It's time I helped you for a change. Now come back home with me. I would hate for you to catch a cold. But, as long as you promise me you're going to be real. I want you to let down this wall you have around your heart and show me the real you. Deal?" He extends his hand for me to reach.

I smile brightly.

"Deal."

-Fin-

"It's not me whose his true love- it's Lucy!" I blurted to the twins. They exchanged looks and disagreed.
"Dude you two are inseparable, you've been friends from birth. You're more than friends, I can see it in your eyes. You want him." Sting said walking to me.
"Oh yeah? And how do you know I love him?" I smirk.
"Because.. The way you look at him, is the same way I looked at Rogue." Rogue walks up and holds Sting's hand.
"You guys are together-" Happy gasps.
"Yeah. And if there's one thing I know, it's that you and Natsu are meant to be." Rogue said.
"Whatever.. Look we need to rescue Lucy. And we need your help, can you guys lend us your armor?" I ask.
"Wait, what are two wizards even doing as guards?" Kcalb said finally speaking.
"The demons hate E.N.D. None of them like that shit head. Many have already tried to kill him but failed. Only one who can do it is Zeref." Sting said.
"So he has random wizards be guards. Of course we still have magic resistance cuffs." Rogue said showing me them.

"Once E.N.D is dead, I'll come back for you guys. I promise." I smile and hug them.
"We know.." Sting whispered.

The two undressed behind book shelves and gave us their armor. It was finally time.

"Good luck you three." Rogue said smiling.

"And (Y/N)?" Sting said right before I closed the library doors.

"Yeah?"

"You're the one Natsu needs."

I blushed and looked away from him.

"We'll be back." I say under my breath.

We were gone.
