Normal POV

Lucy was shivering. It had been 30 minutes since Sting left her alone and Lucy was beginning to feel cold as the posion was contaminating her blood at a fast rate. Lucy knew she wouldn't last long but suddenly the door opened. Lucy, with all the strength she had left stood up to see a certain cherry-blossom haired man looking at her in shock and worry

"Lucy!?"

"N-n-natsu"she said while shivering

"God I'm so sorry! You're freezing. What did he do to you?"asked Natsu as he wrapped his arms around her

"I thought I'd never see you again and I-"Lucy was interrupted by Natsu kissing her forehead

"Shh I'm here now...wait he..."he stopped to see Lucy's neck that now had two holes. The skin around it looked really bruised because of the poison

"Shit"muttered Natsu before he lifted Lucy

"Natsu What are you doing?!"whisper-yelled Lucy

"We have to hurry and get you to Wendy. She'll know what to do"said Natsu as he rushed out of the room

"But what if Sting-"

"It's alright I'll be fine"he replied

"Natsu wait-"

"You need to rest"he said before touching her forehead with his. At that moment, Lucy felt her eyes beginning to close

"Natsu....."she said before going into deep sleep

"Don't worry.. I'll protect you"he said softly before rushing down the corridors. Natsu noticed an opening and ran towards it but something was blocking him from going outside

"Ah Natsu-san you've finally arrived"said a familiar voice. Natsu growled

"Leave us alone!! What do you want from us?!"he yelled. Sting chuckled and said

"You do realise by the time you get her back to your family, she will die because of the poison. I suppose it's tragic for the girl to die so I'll help you that is..if you manage to do a simple request for me..I might consider giving you the antidote for the poison"

"What do you need?!"

"Simple. I need you to fight me. After all.. I've been looking forward to this Natsu Dragneel"

"Are you certain about this?"

"Don't believe me Natsu-san?"he said with a smirk. Natsu glared at him

"*Sigh*Alright"

"I'll make sure you regret hurting Luce"he said as he stacked his knuckles before running towards Sting with great speed. As Natsu was going to punch Sting,
Lisanna popped out of nowhere

"What the!?"

"Oh Natsu you really need to atone for your sins you know after all.."

"You failed to protect me.."she continued

"Ggggrrr you-"

"Not so fast Natsu you still need to apologize to me for you know.. killing me"

"Lisanna..."

"You really shouldn't have left me alone that day Natsu otherwise I would still be alive well the only thing that can satisfy me now is your death" said Lisanna with an evil giggle before touching Natsu on the forehead and sending him flying to the ground. As Natsu tried to get up, Lisanna put her foot on his chest

"Arrgh" cried Natsu in pain as Lissana jabbed him with her foot

"You..."

"You are not Lisanna...and you will never be her!!!" he yelled as he wiped the blood off his lips. Lisanna, now irritated growled

"Why you!!" she was going to punch him but Natsu stopped her fist before grabbing her face and twisting it a weird direction. Lisanna now whined in pain

"It hurts Natsu why?" she cried as Natsu let go of her

"You are a demon created by Sting now it's time for you to rest Lisanna and.. I'm sorry for not taking care of you" said Lisanna with a smile as a tear fell down her cheek

"Arigato Natsu..and tell Bickslow that I'll always love him"she said before closing her eyes. Natsu then set her limp body down but then her body began to turn to dust.

"Oh how touching oh well.."said Sting with a twisted smile

He then ran towards Natsu and tried to punch him in the gut bit Natsu avoided his attack . Natsu was then going to hit him in the face but Sting dodged and lifted Natsu by his shirt and threw him out the window

As Natsu crashed the window, the glass broke and shattered to the ground. Natsu, now heavily bruised got up but was pushed against the wall by Sting choking him

Natsu kneed him in the nuts and punched Sting but the Sting caught his hand and twisted it in a weird angle

"Arrgh!!" Natsu groaned in pain. Sting took advantage of this and threw him across the room.Natsu hit the wall and fell to the ground. Sting walked towards him and held his body by his neck in mid-air.

"Not so strong now huh Dragneel?" said Sting with a smirk. It was then Lucy began to open her eyes.

"Natsu.."said Lucy worriedly as she looked at the scene that unveiled in front of her. She looked around trying to think what she could do to help Natsu. It was she saw broken shards of glass on the ground.

"I'll make sure you die painfully"said Sting

"Hey!!" yelled Lucy. Sting's attention was now towards Lucy

"You want my blood!? Come and get it" Lucy said as she cut her palm with the glass shard. Sting ,now attracted to her blood let go of Natsu before walking to her. Before Sting could reach her, Natsu jumped on Sting from behind

"This is what you get for messing with us"he growled before snapping his neck

"Natsu! Are you alright?"yelled Lucy as she ran up to him. He caught her in his arms (A/N: I know it's very cliché but I can't help it )

"I'm fine. It takes more than this to kill this guy ya know?"

"Let me see your palm"he examined her now bleeding palm before he began to kiss it. Lucy blushed like a tomato

"N-n-natsu!? What are you doing!?"she exclaimed

"Mira said a kiss to one's wound makes it whole lot better"

"A-a-a okay you can stop now!"

"You're blushing" he said with a chuckle as he saw the look on her face

"You idiot! You shouldn't have gone and risked your life like that" she said as she playfully punched his chest. He grinned as he caught her hand

"Hey..it was worth it. You're here now"said Natsu as he touched her forehead with his. Lucy gave him a sweet smile

"Yeah..... I'm here"
...

Everyone rejoiced in happiness as now Natsu and Lucy were home safe and sound. But something troubled Lucy. She walked up to Natsu's room and knocked on the door

"The door's open"called a voice from inside. Lucy slowly opened the door and let herself in and closed the door behind her

"Lucy? What's wrong?"asked a worried Natsu as he came up to Lucy. Lucy looked down

"I'm so sorry..."she apologized

"No you are not to blame for anything. Everything worked out right?" he said as he cupped her cheek making her look at him

"But what about Lisanna?"

"She's in a better place now"he said with a sad smile

"Natsu..."

"Lucy the other day...the reason why I was late for the party was because.."he continued before taking out a small box

"I wanted to give you this"he said as he kneeled down on one knee. Lucy covered her mouth with both her hands

"I love you more than anything Luce will you marry me?"he asked as he looked at her with hopeful eyes. She nodded continuously

"Yes" he got up and kissed her as he put his hands on her waist. As they broke off Lucy stepped back before she fell ontop of his bed

"Haha" Lucy playfully grinned at him before pulling him down with her. Natsu laughed and then looked at her in the eyes before he continued kissing her. Then...Lucy tugged onto his shirt. Natsu pulled himself from her

"Is this alright?"he asked in worry. She smiled

"Yes...as long as you're by my side I have nothing to worry about"she said as she hugged him

"I love you"was the words he said to her before marking her as his on her neck. And that night..Natsu and Lucy finally 'sealed' their love and by 'sealed' you know what I mean ;)
