Lucy's Pov, 

While the training was taking us toward the snow mountains I kept my sights out the window. I didn't even look at Natsu. My face was still burning up. He kissed me twice now. My mind was rushing on the things he said and done that morning. As we was pretty close I soon then noticed Natsu was complaining about his motion sickness. I turned my head to see him staring at the other people on the train. He didn't even look green like he normally did when on a moving transportation. I was shocked.

Natsu soon turned his eyes to look at me and smirk. This made me turn my head fast to stare out the window once again. My face heating up badly. My heart was racing as the thoughts of what he had done and said. My thoughts were all over the place. "Not like you to stay this quiet Lucy" Natsu soon finally spoke. The train ride was very quiet until now. "Not like you to not be throwing up" I only replied looking at Natsu who looked away. "I had learned to deal with it" he only spoke as I was starting to question him.

Soon as we reached out station Natsu and I got up heading out the train. When we first got on the train I noticed Happy wasn't with Natsu. His only answer to that was he wanted us to be alone. That did not help my red face at the time. As we was walking through the station there was many stories of murders and dark magic happening around the temple that we was heading to. "So I take it we are going this temple, the missing to deal with the murders?" Natsu asked as I shook my head.

"Main mission is to find something but now we have two missions" I then answered as Natsu nodded. I was shocked he didn't get excited to beat people up like he normally would. My soon went on how he was missing for a whole year. Anything could of happened to him. With how we found him it was easy to say he was badly hurt. I wouldn't of been surprised if Natsu did change slightly. As we got out the train station we saw that everywhere had pure white snow well but the path we had to follow.

Natsu and I started moving as the walk was going to be long as it was. Lucky for me Virgo had gotten me a long winters coat while we was on the train. Natsu was wearing his normal outfit, like normal he didn't feel the cold. He was lucky with that. After a very long quiet walk we was soon outside a dark looking temple. There was a symbol of water above the closed doors. "Lot of dark magic around here" I mumbled as normally Zodiacs are neutral. Most likely it wasn't Aquarius was inside. I moved forward anyways.

"Lucy this ain't wise" I only heard Natsu as I turned my head to see he was not moving pass two statues as I smirked. "Scared Dragneel?" I asked as he glared at me slightly. "Not even in your dreams Heartfilla" Natsu replied walking over to me. I noticed once he passed the statues their eyes gave off a red glow. At the time I thought I was seeing things. I soon turned my head forward to the temple doors as Natsu got them open. Once we got inside the doors behind us slammed shut making me jump.

They did give off a loud bang as the place started to light up. We was just standing there as touches started to lit themselves. "This place is giving out weird vibes" I sighed as Natsu walked ahead looking around. I saw a smirk grow on his face while he did so. I was confused. I got a bit more confused as I turned to the left seeing a dark hallway. Coming from it was whispers. I looked down it confused as I was unable to see anything it was to dark. I wanted to look away and head to Natsu but I felt as if I wasn't in control.

My brain was telling me to move away but it felt as if something else was controlling me. I started moving toward the dark hallway. I even tried calling out to Natsu but nothing came out of my mouth, it didn't even open. Part of me was getting a little worried as I full on couldn't control myself. As I got into the dark hallway the whispers turned into one male voice. It was unknown and I couldn't tell what it was saying. I knew it had to of been a spell to have made me lose control. I got to the end of the hallway seeing a dead end.

On the wall was a painting of someone in a hood walking away from a burning village. You could see blood on the hooded person and some dead bodies here and there. I stepped back right away as the hooded man looked as if he was moving toward me. It was like the painting was zooming into the hooded figure as there was soon a hand put forward. The male whisper started asking me to help him, to pull him free from his prison. Then the whispers changed back into the chant of the spell. 

I tried calling for Natsu but my voice had left me. My body was no longer listening to me. I moved closer to the painting my hand about to touch where the hooded figure was standing. Right before I could touch it something in me snapped as if I had control of my body once again. I moved my hand back and moved backwards. The hooded figure put his hand down and walked out of the painting. "Should of picked becoming my slave woman" the male voice from the whispers spoke from the hooded person in front of me.

I still couldn't speak out to call Natsu. The hooded figure started saying a chant as I was frozen. I couldn't move. The hooded man was about to moved toward me as in a blink of an eye Natsu was in front of me growling slightly. My eyes widen to see black markings on Natsu even red horns growing out of his head. The hooded man stepped back and started to bow. "Prince E.N.D" he spoke as pure fear struck me...

E.N.D?

N-Natsu was E.N.D?
