Lucy, Erza, Wendy, Gray and I were on a mission it was to retrieve a stolen diamond from a bunch of thieves.

Gray and I have been getting on surprisingly well since our last fight. Gray and I were going to the cave whilst the girls went to a deserted house in search for the bandits.

We were walking towards the cave in which we suspected the bandits were hiding. Suddenly I felt a blade on my neck I glanced at Gray he was also being held by knife point.

"Look what we've got here" The thief holding Gray spat at us "look how pretty this one is" he snarled gesturing to Gray.

The bandit pressed the knife harder against Grays neck drawing blood. Gray struggled against the bandits grip causing the cut to get deeper.

I watched a droplet of Grays blood fall to the ground and that's when I lost it.

Natsu and I were being held captive by some thieves. I could feel the knife being pressed against my throat.

I struggled against the blade causing a cut to form on my throat. A droplet of my blood fell to the ground.

I looked up at Natsu his eyes were transfixed on the drop of blood lying on the ground. His face showed pure anger his eyes were bright red instead of there usual onyx colour.

His teeth were bared and suddenly his whole body erupted in flames. I've never seen him like this he didn't look like his usual self.

"N-natsu?" I asked unsure of why he was acting like this

"Let him go" he growled at the thief holding me. The man just scoffed "I said let him go. Now"

As my captor showed no intention of releasing me Natsu ran forward and started to attack him. He cried out in pain pulling away his hand holding the knife accidentally slicing my neck as he did so.

I cried out in pain and reached up towards my now heavily bleeding wound I removed my hands from the injury and saw blood covering my hands.

Natsu was going completely overboard flames covered nearly every inch of the cave I had to form an ice shield to prevent myself from getting burnt.

But the flames were so strong it only lasted a few seconds. Eventually all the thieves were unconscious but Natsu still hadn't calmed down.

"Natsu? Natsu?" I asked trying to get his attention "it's okay calm down please" I begged.

His eyes looked like they were haunted as he stared at my blood soaked hands.

"I'm okay Natsu" I said "I promise"

He relaxed. Eyes returning to there normal onyx colour. "You okay?" I asked scared he nodded

"What just happened?" I questioned still confused

"Don't worry about it" he said "Let's go find the girls"

"But-" I said but he cut me off

"I said don't worry about it" he said coldly storming out of the cave.

What's going on with him lately?

I couldn't believe it. Grays my mate. Gray Fullbuster is my mate. But I can't be in love with him that's impossible.

I've been thinking it for awhile but I didn't actually believe it. I thought it was just a crush. But now I know for sure.

It explains everything. That's why I attacked him and that's why I get butterlies everytime I'm around him.

And that's why I couldn't bare to watch him get hurt.

I promised him that I would tell him when I figured everything out. But I couldn't he would hate me. He will never love me back.

The thunder legion and I were sitting in a room on the second floor discussing what are next mission would be.

Freed was skimming through job requests when he suddenly gasped.

I looked up so did Evergreen and Bickslow

"Paper cut" freed said simply showing us the small cut on his index finger

I stood up and walked over to Freed grabbing his wrist and looking at the cut.

"You okay Laxus?" Freed asked confused

I pulled his hand up to my mouth and sucked the bleeding cut. I then realised what I was doing and froze.

I pulled his hand out of my mouth "laxus?" Bickslow asked shocked at what I just did

"You sure you're okay Laxus your acting weird lately?" Evergreen asked

Freed was frozen in place. Surprised at what I had done.

"I've gotta go" I said storming off out of the room. I finally made it out of the guild and walked along the river bank.

I couldn't believe it. Freed's my mate. Freed Justine is my mate. But I can't be in love with him that's impossible.

I've been thinking it for awhile but I didn't actually believe it. I thought it was just a crush. But now I know for sure.

It explains everything. That's why I nearly attacked him and that's why I get butterlies everytime I'm around him.

And that's why I couldn't bare to watch him get hurt. Even if it was just a paper cut.

I promised him that I would tell him when I figured everything out. But I couldn't he would hate me. He will never love me back.

I was walking back to Natsu's house alone as Natsu was on a mission. When I suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Stop please stop" Rogues voice begged I spun around seeing Rogue with four men surrounding him.

"Look how pretty he is." One of the men said they were all clearly drunk.

"Come on stop fighting us and come with us" another man said

Rogue shook his head "n-no" he stuttered. I didn't know what was wrong with Rogue or why he wasn't fighting back but I knew something was up.

"Shadow dragon slash" Rogue said trying to attack him. But nothing happened

"Stop trying to fight us" the third man spat grabbing him by his hair he let out a cry of pain.

Anger boiled inside me. "Get off him" I growled running towards them my fist already a light with magic

I started pounding the four men. How dare they lay a hand on Rogue

I pushed Rogue behind me protectively.

All of the men lay on the ground. Three of them were unconscious the fourth one I picked up by the collar and growled

"What do you want with Rogue?"

"N-nothing" the man stuttered I threw him into a wall and he collapsed.

I felt all my magic pulse through my body. I wanted them dead but I turned around and saw Rogues confused and scared face and I instantly calmed down.

"You okay Sting?" He asked walking towards me I glared at him

I couldn't believe it. Rogue's my mate. Rogue Cheney is my mate. But I can't be in love with him that's impossible.

I've been thinking it for awhile but I didn't actually believe it. I thought it was just a crush. But now I know for sure.

It explains everything. That's why I attacked him and that's why I get butterlies everytime I'm around him.

And that's why I couldn't bare to watch him get hurt.

I promised him that I would tell him when I figured everything out. But I couldn't he would hate me. He will never love me back.

"Sting?" He asked confused

"Be more careful. I can't always save you" I growled storming off

I ran off hoping he didn't see the tears in my eyes.
