Too much to explain, but I was at school and I was running up stairs then I slipped then broke my leg. Okay there, that is why I haven't been posting. I have been... busy. Here is Child Love Chp. 7! Sorry for any mistakes.

Song of the Day- Here For A Reason, by: Ashes Remain

Natsu's POV:

Should I run? I crawled backward, then forwards. I'm not going toward her, though I would like to. I was shaking. What the man said to me, it still lingers around me. It's a bad aroma. My breathing started to get heavy. I HAVE to RUN... NOW! I silently crawled backward, then stood up and ran away. I'm such a coward... but our lives depends on my choice. I took this choice. Even as a kid, I know what to do. Kids aren't stupid... we just don't know when to stop. We have a life. More life than what an adult would have. Our future... her future depends on living. Me? My life depends on war... death... and killing.

While running, I tripped on a fallen tree, causing more bleeding on my legs. My weak arms pushed my body back up. I painted. Then, I clench my teeth together. Why?! I didn't want this! I didn't want to be sent to someone else world! I didn't want to lost Igneel! I didn't want to find myself hurting! I stopped, then I put it all together. It' all Lucy's fault.

"I WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN IN THIS MESS IF I NEVER KNOWN LUCY!" I screamed. Again, I painted. Even as a kid... we have ups and downs. I started to get up on my shaking legs. I stepped forward, then looked at my leg. Both my legs and arms were... terrible. Scratches everywhere. Bruises everywhere. Blood everywhere. My open hole on my side was numb. That's why I could run. I couldn't feel anything. Tears wailed up in my dark green eyes. I didn't even what to know how my face looked like.

At least 3 minutes passed. I was sitting down on the fallen tree. Help. Me.

Nobody's POV:

Lucy picked up Plue when she saw the pink haired boy running away. He laid in front of her for a couple of seconds, and when Lucy went to sit on the other side of the bush, he ran away. Lucy sighed. Plue could sense that she was sad, and whined. "It's okay Plue. I guess he has a family or something... but why would he be all the way out here?" Lucy asked, either to herself or to Plue.

Then, Lucy heard sounds of metal clanking together. Footsteps bolted right up to her from behind and Lucy quickly turned around to see guards with spears and swords out. "Princess! King Jude wants you back at the castle immediately!" One of the guards said while grabbing Plue out of Lucy's hands. Lucy was about to protest when another guard grabbed her arm and pulled her along to the castle. "Hey! Let me go please!" Lucy pleaded. But, the guard didn't let her arm go. Lucy fought his grip, but the guard didn't seem to lose his grip at all. Plue was barking furiously at the guard who had Lucy's arm, but one of the other guards attached a ribbon around his muzzle to keep his mouth close, tightly. Lucy saw this and grabbed the guard's hand, trying to pull up his fingers around her arm. Finally, she got one of his finger's up and pulled her arm down, taking the guard by surprise to let go. Lucy saw the guard's sword, and pull it out of his carrier. "Let Plue go!" Lucy said, holding up the sword to the guard who had Plue. She has never done this before. The weight of the sword, made Lucy lose her balance and she fell forward, accidentally cutting the guard's hand. "Shit!" The guard said, dropping Plue. Lucy quickly scoop up Plue and ran into the forest, not looking back. The guards started yelling to go after her, and they did. Lucy ran as fast as she could and she didn't stop for anything.

Natsu's POV:

I sat there for a while, with my head in my hands. I couldn't think. I was in pain and I wanted to rest, but afraid of want would happen if I did. Again, I didn't want to think about Lucy, after everything she put me threw. I didn't even want to say her name, or think it. The wind was blowing threw the trees, quite loudly too. I sat there for a couple of minutes longer, and finally decided to rest up. Besides, I wasn't going to go anywhere without my energy, or at least that was what Igneel told me. I-I wonder how he is doing...

Finally, after thinking so much, I laid myself down of the fallen tree branch, and was about to drift off to sleep. Until, the winds suddenly sounded like... yelling men? From a far, far distance anyway. Man, right when I was going to rest.

The noise was getting louder, then I also heard someone breathing hard. The scent... but how did she find him? Quickly, I hid behind the fallen tree branch, crouching. I waited in silence to see if I was correct. And I was. I saw Lucy, with the dog in her hands running past me. She was fast, but why was she running. Then, out of no where a group of men went in the same direction of Lucy. Are they chasing her?

My dragon insenses all of a sudden kick in, and something told me that she was in danger. Without no hesitation I started to run after them.
