15Alright, my new story ready for action! Alternates between normal any Grey's pov
Chapter 1:
It was two years ago... about three months after lissana was eaten.
-Grey's hand shook as he stared down at his best friend slash rival. He had dropped his gun long ago. ''Natsu'' his voice cracked, the nest of rosy hair shifted and dull green unfocused eyes landed on him. ''Stay back'' Natsu's voice was slurred and whispered. Blood poured like a river from his neck, staining his hair, white scarf, and pooling close to his jeans. The sun kissed skin had paled, a lighter shade than Grey's own. ''Stay back'' that broken voice repeated.
Grey clenched his fist and heeled, the other had no strength to crawl away. ''I'll get help for you Natsu'' Grey's voice was stronger more sure than before.-
I was so naive. So foolish. Too hopeful.
-Grey sprinted across barren wastland,keeping an eye out for any of those...things. The cold limp body flopped around heavily on his back. Thick blood still trickled down from the bite wound it was darker carrying less oxygen. The only sine of life was the rapid breathing that cooled his neck. The walls of Magnolia finnaly came into view. Grey was distracted, something grabbed his leg tripping him. ''A corpse'' he growled. These things were the cause of Natsu's condition, it moaned and flesh fell from its jaw. Hallow holes where eyes should be, no hair slightly green skin, and tattered clothing. He readjusted Natsu before crushing the things head. ''I'll get you help'' he whispered but received no response.-
I got through security quickly and made it to the hospital. I was exhausted, after the doctors took him a rushed to the organization and went to boss.
-''Natsu's been bitten!'' Grey yelled to the midget in front of him. The old dwarf blinked ''What?''. Grey felt exhaustion taking over ''Hospital'' was all he said before passing out.-
I woke up in the hospital. The doctors let us go visit Natsu.
-Natsu lay wheezing on a metals table, his arms and legs strapped down a small pool of blood rested under his head. Mirajane kneeled beside him sobbing, Erza stood next to her fists clenched, boss Makarove sat in a chair with his head in his hands. Grey stood in a far corner feeling guilty for not protecting his friend. ''Is their nothing you can do?'' Makarove asked a fat doctor next to him, the doctor shook his head ''I'm sorry theirs no way to remove the infected area and the disease has already spread to far''.
Erza turned to the man with fury in her eyes, ''You poor excuse for a doctor!'' she yelled and then grabbed his collar ''What do you mean there's nothing you can do?! Do something now!''. Her armor rattled as anger shook her body ''Security!'' the fat man yelled.-
Erza got into a fight with some guards, we were about to be kicked out.
-''Erza stop'' everyone froze, ''Natsu?'' Mira whispered. ''Please Erza, listen to the doctors''. His voice was weak, barley a whisper. Erza rushed back to his side ''We are going to save you Natsu!''. He shook his head ''You know that there's no cure''.
''Don't think like that!'' Grey yelled, his protest was followed by the two women while Makarove stayed silent. ''I only have one wish'' Natsu spoke over their screams ''Find Igneel for me''. Tears fell down his cheeks and the sad action was mimicked by his friends. He turned to Mira with a sad smile ''I'll go see how Lissana's doing''. Mira wailed and soon everyone was sent out from the room.-
We thought it was the end of him. Now I'm not sure if the outcome is any better.
-The building was silent, the other four had returned and relayed the news. Some where still sobbing. Three days past and Natsu's funeral was meant to be held tomorrow; ounce they received the ashes... The double doors to the establishment opened to reveal a slim woman in a lab coat. She had short orange hair and large brown eyes, freckles that popped out on pale skin.
She smiled, almost mocking the mood of the place she just entered. She glanced around and saw the dwarf sitting sadly at the bar. ''Mister Makarove'' she called sweetly, his head turned to the sickining ray of sunshine that was the woman. ''We have great news''.-
At first all we wanted was for the bitch to leave. We felt as if she was copying Natsu... or at least that's how I felt. She was an eyes or until...
-''Natsu Drag eel is waiting for you'', there was a pause. Then all of the hunters jumped up with cheered, tears, questions.-
Of course we thought he would be normal and he would greet us with a ''Yo'' or throw a playful insult. It still hurts to think of how our hopes were obliterated.
-Everyone crowded the hospital lobby eager to see the annoying bomber walk in healthy and vibrant. Instead they were led through a door and down multiple hallways until they reached a large window. It let them peer out into an arena, in the center was a boy. Pale pink hair flopped around a pale face.
''I-is he okay''. Levy asked, the fat doctor from before nodded. ''Just watch'', gates on either side of the large arena opened. Hobbling forward were dozens of half decayed corpses, their sunken eyes were trained on Natsu.
''What are you doing! Get him out of there'' Jet yelled, his protests were joined by the others surrounding him. ''He somehow overcame the infection and acquired super human abilities, he doesn't appear to feel pain or have a consciousness.'' the doctor frowned suddenly ''Unfortuently we cant say for sertan if hi is really still alive, and some of his habits stray close to zombie like'' Makao looked back at the arena and gasped, Natsu still stood at the center facing away from them, but he was covered in dark blood and the broken bodies of the ounce living corpses encircled him.
Makao banged on the window ''Natsu!'' the teen jolted and turned, ounce bright emerald eyes were a deep sunken black though they were gradually turning a murky green. ''Amazing!'' the doctors exclaimed, ''He actually responded''. A humerus smile crossed his face ''He has only been trying to attack us this whole time'', a hard clang distracted them an they realized that Natsu was now standing directly in front of the glass.-
He didn't move from that spot until the doctors sedated and restrained him we were able to take him. He was in fresh clothes and his skin cleaned of blood, he didn't talk to us just sat and stared.
-''What is he supposed to eat'' Mira asked solemnly, Natsu was tied to a chair in the center of the bar hall. They couldn't trust him right now, his eyes were closed and his breathing was impossibly slow. ''Wave some meat in front of his face and see what happens'' Grey suggested.
Erza sighed and went to the kitchen, she returned with a roast impaled on her sword. She put the meal by Natsu's nose, his head snapped up and the meat was gone. ''Eh'' Natsu had freed himself from the ropes and was now standing. Erza backed away as she thought he was rushing towards her. Instead the boy fell to the floor eyes closed ounce again.-
We didn't understand what the doctor meant when he said zombie like habits. He should have explained, but now present time. We can only adapt to his choice of palate.
Was this long? I hope so, aaanyway how was it was it interesting? ...no? Well then I guess my life is meaningless. Let hell break free
