Fairy Tail Guild
"Are you sure you're alright, Sweetie?" Lisanna's voice was laced with absolute concern and her eyebrows were scrunched together.
She had a hand on Natsu's insignia. The pretty woman frowned when Natsu didn't respond. It's been a few hours after Loke had attacked him, accusing him of something she couldn't quite catch. Her Fiancee had been silent for a while. It was unlike him to not be the loudmouth he occasionally was.
"Huh?" Natsu perked up, his voice slightly muffled behind his hands, he pulled his fists to his lap, glancing at Lisanna. "Sorry, Lis, I just got a lot on my mind."
"Wait, you're actually thinking?" Gray plopped into the seat across the table. "Don't overexert yourself, Pyro. Your brain might implode." As usual, Gray decided he was gonna mock the pink-haired man with some of the "insulting" nicknames they've given each other over the years.
Natsu was quick to glare at his teammate, "Shut up, Stripper! Just 'cause I don't use my brain doesn't mean I can't think every once in a while!" The pink-haired man retorted.
A giggle escaped Mira as she appeared behind the bar, cleaning a glass with a rag. "It's rare for you to think, Natsu." she teased.
"You're all so mean!" Natsu grunted.
"Natsu?" Happy slowly began, just next to his partner, holding his untouched fish with a sudden unappetizing feeling. "What did Loke mean earlier? About Lucy being hurt?"
The cat didn't understand. Lucy hadn't been around for a while, he noticed, but he assumed she went on solo missions, that is until Loke showed up, punching at Natsu like a merciless street fighter. The familiar feeling of torment ate at his cat stomach. It was the same feeling when Lisanna "died" and was sent to Edolas. Tears brimmed in his eyes.

"What he said...you wouldn't really hurt her...right? Lucy's our friend..." Happy whimpered, his bottom jaw quivering, large, fat tears threatened to fall.
Natsu frowned, but immediately pat his friend's head, "He didn't mean it. I'd never hurt Lucy. We can go check on her later, okay, 'lil buddy?" He smirked on the inside, seeing Happy spring up with that innocent smile and frantic nodding.
"I'm going to get my secret stash of fishies for her!" Happy's wings sprung out from under the little green baggie on his back, instantly taking flight.
"He's so sweet." Lisanna smiled proudly, turning her attention back onto her fiancee, "You know, we all haven't seen Lucy in a while, perhaps, all of us should visit her."
"You're too kind, Lis, but Lucy has a pet peeve about too many guests. Maybe you should stay here with Mira and talk about the wedding plans some more." Natsu smiled his boyish, charming smile and Lisanna blushed.
"O-oh, um, all right!" She nodded, timidly smiling.
Natsu twisted around in his chair only to be confronted by Erza.
"You shouldn't go either. Loke made it pretty clear that he's harboring an unconditional rage toward you." She said, folding her arms over her breastplate.
"She's right, Natsu. The Master left a little while ago. I assume he's at Lucy's place now, talking it out, I suppose." Mira informed, placing the glass she was cleaning, on the counter.
Something within the Dragon Slayer clicked harshly. The Master was at Lucy's? No! She'd destroy him if she told--no. She'd do anything to keep those dumb keys safe. They were her only family, after all.
To seem less suspicious, he forced a chuckle out, "I didn't know, at least we know she's in safe hands!"

The women chuckled in agreement with his response. They didn't suspect anything...for now. If they ever found out, he'd be cast out. Shunned by anyone and everyone. What he did...he couldn't control the urge, the intense screaming of the creature within. Lisanna didn't want to do anything with sex until after they were married, but the creature couldn't deal with that since the wedding date was seven--now six--months away. He felt no regret now.
The urge was long gone now, and that, he was glad for.
~(let's get back to Lucy and the others, yes?)~
"I see." Makarov shakingly retracted his hands from the sides of my forehead. Horror painted heavily on his aging face. A dark shadow covered his narrowing eyes.
I hang my head in shame, pressing my knees closer together, even though they were already touching. My hands were laced together, still clammy and sweaty. I could hear my heart and blood pulsate in my ears. What was he going to do? To say? Am I still in trouble? Am I going to be disciplined? Was my mark going to be erased? Was I going to be kicked out of the guild? All these negative thoughts circled my brain. It wasn't my fault, I knew. I've told the only one who had the power to erase one from Fairy Tail about this.
I never thought I'd get this far. Makarov was so sure Natsu was the innocent child he watched grow up. I'd have some doubt inside, too.
"M-Master, I'd like to ask you something." I cringe, hearing my own voice crack like glass, "What should I do? The baby--"
"You needn't fret about the baby, Child, " The old man placed a comforting pat on my shoulder, "You'll both be safe, I promise."
"Makarov, if I may, " Loke stepped up, serious than any time I've seen the serious side of him, "You shouldn't let this slip. If word got out to that shithead--I mean Natsu, he'd barrel his way down here, knowing him, he would."
"What are you saying, Loke?" I ask, glancing tearfully up at my trustworthy spirit.
"We should relocate you, only until the baby is born. That way, you can say you adopted it. Trust me, I don't want you having to hide from the guild because of that bastard's cruel--" He took a deep breath, "All I'm saying is, we should keep this a secret for now."
"What will everyone else think--" I'm cut off by the master.
"I will tell those who are concerned you have gone off on a year-long requested job." Makarov piped up, "And I will build a report for the Council to see. It will take some time to convince them of this."
"I'm not sure about that," I say, but it was obvious they didn't hear me.
I glance into the kitchen and past the counters. I notice Cobra speaking to Midnight about something. I wonder what it was? I know since he's a dragon slayer (implanted lacrima) he most likely heard us and was informing Midnight, or not. It's just guessing. Bad guessing, but it's a start.
I'm so confused about my life now.
I frown deeply, my eyes heating up with the same acidic tears I had earlier. My jaw clenched tightly.
Is this what you wanted Natsu? To destroy me from the outside to the inside? Why did you strip me of my dignity and force this burden on my shoulders? What did I ever do you to deserve this?

*as of right now this is my second time writing all this I really hate doing this twice in a row. well this story was made by me and a few friends ideas and stuff most of the pictures owned are not mine but some will be and every picture I use is respectively owned by their creators. Now let's go to the story. FYI this is my second time doing this so I'm a little pissed so I probably will not have good grammar and stuff so whenever you guys see something wrong why don't you come help me to make this story great peace out and have fun* The year is 2009 there's a war going between robots and human Arnold [email protected]&**&6 . ah crap that was totally my fault wrong story ok here we go the real story. The years 2086 and life is hella awesome. in about the year 2065 a new fun toy came out they called this VR. but VR isn't just a toy anymore. Vr changed the life of everyone in America but really all over the world . the thing that made VR awesome was that you can know go to work from your house laying in the bed with a VR helmet on making twice as much money for the hours you put in. you can know go to school from your house learn for a full 6 hours in VR but than when you get out its only been one hour in real life . there are so many uses that people can use VR for. of course military personal use it aswell to train there minds and stuff. But to me this really doesn't mean much. The real beauty in VR is the gaming i love gaming with a passion me and my family are gonna get this awesome game called new hope online. This game is a mmo RPG it of course has the typical RPG quest adventures and a lot of other things that i cant explain. but generally I'm super excited for only 2 things in this game. The first is that there is a cohesive and reactive world. Ok ill just give you a small example. so lts say im an adventurer and im killing goblins i go every single day for the next 3 year with 4 of my freinds to kill goblins after a while if you hunt destroy or do anything to envirment fror prlonged periods of time the enviroment will etheir act violently and try to destroy you or the worldwill remove that resource from that area. which i think makes total since. ok last but not least you know how nearly every single mmo lets you play as the adventurer only. Well thats changed. In this mmo you are allowed to be a monster if you want thats freaking awesome i love it. The object of a monster is to become strong enough to etheir, make a dungeoun, own a clan/ tribe. generally there are apperently alot of ways to win as a monster but since this is a mmo of course theres no real winning. But as a monster everybody is aiming for the top. another objective is to kill the demon king and take hismantle as hahaha demon king. oh i totally forgot to introduce my self my name is roin . like coin but with a r instead of an c . this is gonna be my story so peace out and read the story . * the star before a sentence means me as an author is talking ok this is explaining meanings RPG=Role Playing Games MMO=Massively Multiplayer Online Vr = virtual reality
