PLEASE READ:::
Hey guys! Amber here! (Obviously)
I just wanted to tell you about my submission for the Wonder the Movie contest! #WondertheMovie is supporting a book about a disabled boy named Auggie and all the trouble he receives for who he is and what he looks like. #WondertheMovie is about sharing kindness which in my opinion is one of the most important things in life. My contest entry is about a young girl named Moon who is bullied at school for her two gay Dads. I encourage you all to read the book Wonder, enter the contest and if you want check out my book, Moon. Thanks!
Also.... I am so sososoososososososososososososososossoosososossoososososoos sorry this chapter took longer than it was supposed to. I have so many reasons but I'm not going to bore you with my annoying excuses so here's the chapter everyone's been waiting for....
_____________________________
(Natsu's POV)
I sigh and slump down in my seat. I'm in the waiting room at the hospital, waiting like everyone else here. I've been waiting for Lucy for about 3 hours now. Don't freak out, she's fine. They're just cleaning her bullet wound and bandaging it.
At least that's all they were doing until the police came and started interviewing Lucy on what happened about 2 hours ago.
"Soooooo boreddddddd" I slouch in my chair and blow a hair out of my face. The hair falls back, this time in front of my eyes. So I blow it again. It falls, I blow. Falls, blow, falls, blow. I continue this process until I finally blow the hair hard enough and onto my head..... where it slips down again. "GODDAMNIT HAIR I VOW I WILL DEFEAT YOU!" I stand up so fast I knock my chair over. The chair lands on the glass table which shatters into eight or nine pieces. (It wasn't a very big table.) "Whoops" I sheepishly grin and slowly back away.
"Aaaaaaand I'm kicked out. So much for accidents. Darn you you stupid piece of hair." I slump down the sidewalk. Boredom why do you hate me so?! In front of me is a strip mall and I lean against the windows, staring at the sky. Suddenly I bump into someone. "Hey, kid!" He grabs me by the hair.Watch where you're goi-" he trails off. I whack his hand off my head and look up. "Hey, do I know you from somewhere?" His jet black hair, hard face, brown eyes.
"Zeref?" I ask but he's gone, running in the other direction. "Hey!" I start looking around frantically, my mind is racing. He's in jail, right? He can't be freed.
I start running in the direction I saw him run. My mind is racing. That was definitely him.
I find my feet carrying me into a deserted alley where a man stands, his back to me.
"ZEREF!!" I yell. "YOU ARE ZEREF, ARENT YOU?!" He turns and smiles at me. "Natsu. My you've grown up." I scream in frustration. "How did you escape!" He smirks. The kind of smirk that says he knows everything but would be perfectly fine not knowing anything. "You're just going to assume I escaped? How rude. I thought Mom and Dad taught us better, Natsu." I run forwards, right at him. "DON'T YOU DARE SAY MY NAME". Zeref's casually running away from me with his hands behind his back, still smirking. "Why not? Would you rather I call you pinky? Pinky." A laugh escapes his mouth and I snarl, launching myself forwards and knocking Zeref off his feet. "How are they all? Seems strange no one in my own family ever came to visit me. Besides mom of course." I stop and stare down at him. "Mom came to visit you?" A giggle escapes Zeref's lips and I wince. "All. The. Time. Did she not tell her baby boy?" Zeref leaps up and runs out into the open street. "Think you can take me Natsu? Fight me."
Images of my old family flash across my mind.
Dad before he drank, Wendy before she died, Zeref before he killed, Mom before she was scarred, me before everything.
I charge towards Zeref screaming my head off. I'm going insane. All I can think about is how everything used to be. I've covered everything up for years, hiding my pain from everyone. Lucy was the first person I had ever opened up to, and I had barely told her anything.
I'm about to strike Zeref when someone grabs my wrist and pulls me back.
"Natsu what the hell do you think you're doing!?" Gray pulls me back onto the sidewalk. "There, that's Zeref!" Gray shakes his head. "Who? Natsu you're attacking an innocent person." "NO THAT'S ZEREF! LET ME GO!" Zeref's smirk has turned into a scared expression. "S-sorry Mr.?" "There Natsu see, he apologized now whatever he did, let it go!" Who the hell does Gray think he is telling me to let go of my sister's murder. I will always hate him. I'm about to yell at Gray when before my eyes Zeref slowly melts into a middle aged looking man. I shake my head. "Has he always been there?" Gray shakes his head and looks at the guy, pulling me away. I look back at the man one more time.
"I'll never let it go. I'll never let him go."
~~~
"Natsu!" As soon as I step back into the hospital Lucy runs into my arms. "There you are! Where were you!" Before I can answer she smashes her lips onto mine. We stand like that for what feels like forever. Finally it's just the two of us. No more kidnappings. No family. No police and no hospital, just us. But of course someone had to ruin our moment.
"Natsu Dragneel?" A police officer walks up to me, wearing a stethoscope around their neck.
"That's me." I say. "Can I help ya, Doc?" I wink at Lucy and she giggles. "I need to talk to you about the situation outside. Traumatizing an innocent, disturbance of traffic-" Lucy interrupts. "Excuse me officer, but standing in the middle of a road isn't exactly illegal". "Lucy Heartfilia. You are correct however property damage and attacking innocent bystanders are. Do you have any mental disturbances we should be aware of?" Me and Lucy shake our heads when Ezra and Gray nod theirs. "Guys!" They both look down guiltily.
"We'll need to put you through some testing."
"Testing?" Lucy says, concerned. "What for?" "As I am aware, Natsu has a hard past. With all of the recent events, your school's 'baby project' and the idea of being a father along with Ms. Lucy's recent kidnapping he may be having flashbacks and relieving past experiences. You may have heard of deja vu, this is similar to that except in a very negative way. Teenagers with this kind of mind and traumatic past often end up dying of sadness and confusion of give up." I squeeze Lucy's hand. "Give... up?" She questions. "Suicide." The doctor says. "To get rid of this you will need to go through counseling in order to learn how to let go."
My mind flashes back to what happened in the street and me saying I would never let him go. "Now Natsu, do you have any idea of what could be causing this? Is your mother sick, is your brother out of jail?" I shake my head but Lucy speaks for me. "He has no idea." She says quickly. The doctor looks at me suspiciously and I nod. "Alright." He says. "Your first appointment will be with Dr. Zeira tomorrow." I nod and grab hands with Lucy as we walk out.
~~~
"What does this look like?" Dr. Zeira holds up a pic that I can only as if death and the ink thing inside a pen had a baby. "A blob". Dr. Zeira changes the picture. "How about this one? What does it really look like to you?" There are just dots, dots everywhere. "The freckles on Lucy's lower back." The doctor crinkles her nose. "Moving on, what does this one look like?" This time it does look like something. "A gun." I say. She smiles at me and nods her head. "Good." She holds up another. "This?" I stare at the picture and everything starts to blur together. I see faces rushing around, Zeref's, Wendy's, Lucy's. I see a police badge, I see jail bars. A drink, alcoholic I think. Images are swirling in and out and I grab my head, groaning. "Natsu? I need you to focus. Focus with me here, Natsu!" My head snaps up.
"Let's try a different method, shall we?" I let my head bob down in disappointment. "I don't get it." I whisper. "Don't get what?" Zeira doesn't even look back at me as she sets a candle on the coffee table. "I've never felt this way before." I say. This is all so new. "Care to be more specific?" She points to the area across from her at the table. I walk and sit where she pointed. "I would if I could." She smiles at me.
"Put your hands out." I move my hands and place them on top of hers. "Now stare into the candle. We are going to try a method similar to hypnosis to figure out what has been bothering you. Stare into this candle and don't look away. Don't even BLINK." She says, exaggerating the word 'blink'.
"Natsu. Your name is Natsu. Natsu. Your name was given to you by your mother. Your name was given to you by your father. You are a Dragneel. A name from your father the king of dragons and you are the prince. Nicknames run in your family. Dragneel is the name of your mother. Your brother," at the mention of Zeref I clench my fists. His voice echoes in my head. "Natsu, my you've grown up." "your sister. Dragneel's are proud. Or they were until your family broke that bond." I squench my eyes. "Your father became abusive and your brother killed him and your little sister out of rage and mistrust." I start to breathe more heavily, I find it's starting to get harder. "Natsu. Stay calm." She whispers. "You are here, Natsu Dragneel, to make sure you do not make his same mistake. So you don't injure yourself or others." I think of Lucy and I find I can't breathe. Suddenly darkness engulfs me as the candle blows out. "Natsu!" My eyes snap open. "Did I do something wrong?" I ask. "What happened. "It ended a bit early but I think I know what your problem is. Sorry -who- your problem is." She looks my directly in the eye.
"I think it's about time you visit your brother."
