Really sorry for not updating!  I have 11 other books that are also ongoing so please don't kill me! T^T  

Anyways, here's chapter 21!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Natsu's P.O.V.~

        When the darkness faded, my vision cleared to see the girl that I have to kill.  Lucy Heartfilia.  "Natsu!  You're awake!" she said in a happy tone.  I blinked a couple times.

        "Hey..Lucy.." I said slowly.  I sat up and fake yawned.  "Is there...anyone here?"  She shook her head.

        "No, they all went out, but they'll come back soon," Lucy answered.  In my head, I smirked.  Good, that'll give me enough time.  I put on an innocent face.

        "Alright.  Hey, I'm hungry, think we can have something to eat?" I asked in a pleading tone.  Lucy giggled in response.

        "You're always hungry," she grinned.  "Come on, I think there's toast or something in the kitchen."  She helped me up and I followed her to the kitchen.  As she looked through the cupboards, I slowly inched towards the knives and took the sharpest one.  I hid it behind my back when she looked at me.  "Mm, I can't find any toast..sorry.." she said sadly.

        "It's fine," I said.  "To confirm, you are Lucy Heartfilia right?"

        "Yeah....why?" she said, looking at me a bit weirdly.  An evil grin was plastered on my face.

        "Because, I'm going to kill you Lucy Heartfilia," I answered, pulling out the knife.  

~Lucy's P.O.V.~

        My eyes widened in fear.  What happened to Natsu?  Did Kurai get to him??  "Natsu.." I said in a tone softer than a whisper.  I decided to get Loke and reached for my keys.  Suddenly, Natsu threw the knife he was holding and it knocked my keys out of my hand.  They then flew under the countertop, out of reach.    Natsu then picked up another knife and lunged towards me.  Fortunately, I was quick enough to get out of the way.  "Natsu!" I yelled.  "This isn't you, snap out of it!"

        "Who's to say this isn't me?" he whispered in response before lunging again.  This time I took out my whip and made it coil around his arm, making him let go of the knife.

        "Natsu, please, snap out of it!" I yelled, struggling to keep my grip on my whip.  Natsu scowled and pulled the whip, destroying it.  He then tackled me onto the floor.  He was on top of me with the knife pointed at my neck.  Tears started trickling down my face.  "Natsu...please..." I whispered.  "It's me.."

        "Sorry, I have only one mission, and that is to kill you," he replied emotionlessly.  His eyes were a dull gray as he readied to stab my heart.  I closed my eyes, waiting for my death.  "Sayonara, Lucy Heartfilia."
