His Decapitated Head

                                    

                                          
Lucy 
                          
I go down the stairs and into the kitchen area to grab a bowl of sliced strawberries and bananas. There, I meet up with Natsu, who turns around to look at me. After that argument we had, haven't spoke to each other.
                          
I go towards the fridge and mind my own business, grabbing the bowl of strawberries. Setting them down on the counter, I grab the bananas from a fruit bowl and a knife. 
                          
Just as I was about to peel off the banana, muscular arms wrap around me from behind and I grin a little. 
                          
"Let's not ever fight like that again." He says, kissing my cheek.  
                          
"Sure. Arguing with you is terrible. Ready to be back together?" I said, looking at him in the eyes.
                          
"Yes, please. I missed you. And I felt so angry that I got in a fight with you. It wasn't because I couldn't convince you to let the kids stay here. I know exactly what you were trying to say. And now I agree with you. We can send some of our people over there to protect them at Washington." Natsu says, and my smile grows.
                          
"Thank you. And I'm sorry for fighting with you. I just wanted for them to be okay and live far away from this danger." I said, giving him a peck in the lips.
                          
"Yeah, I know. Have you told Lisanna and the rest?" 
                          
"No. Not yet. I'll call in a meeting with Bisca, Alzack, and Lisanna later on. Right now, I just want to relax and have a clear conscience." 
                          
Suddenly, gunshots erupts from outside and a car screeches. I widen my eyes and leave the kitchen with Natsu, trying to find out where those gunshots came from. Erza and Jellal comes inside the house with a box that looks like a gift. 
                          
"Is anyone injured?!" I question.
                          
"No, those people were only trying to gain our attention from those gunshots. But they left this box outside." Erza says, setting it down on the table.
                          
"There's also a letter attached to the bow." Jellal states, and I approach the box. 
                          
Everyone begins to come closer around the box and I gulp. I first grab the letter and open it, revealing really well handwriting. Taking a deep breath, I begin to read the letter out loud.
                          
"It's only a matter of time of when your next enemy comes in check, Natsu and Lucy. So I've done a grand favor for you two and the rest of your friends. I've eliminated an enemy that you two couldn't even kill. You owe me for this one. It wasn't easy but I had to do what I needed to do most you gain your attention. This is a message that your next enemy will be bringing chaos, death, and destruction to your family pretty soon. Also, tell Larcade that I say hi and to watch his back for his betrayal. From the second most wanted." I said, looking up at Larcade.
                          
"I know exactly who this is." Larcade says, shook.
                          
"Who is it?!"
                          
"It's...my father, Zeref. He's known as the Dark Wizard, the second most wanted man on the list of top 10. He's ready to tear us apart." Larcade replies, and I set the letter down on the table next to the box.
                          
"He said that he's eliminated an enemy. Who is it?" Natsu asks, and I gulp once more. 
                          
I cautiously open the box and shut one of my eyes, preparing for the worst. Inside is a decapitated head of the head boss of none other than the cartel of Sabertooth. 
                          
"S-Sting...it's his head!" I yell out, almost puking. 
                          
The smell of death fills around in the room and Natsu closes the box again. I stay away from it with eyes wide and I take a deep breath so I can control my nausea. 
                          
"How could he have brutally murdered the head boss of Sabertooth!? Doesn't he know that the whole cartel will be after him!?" Mira asks, shocked.
                          
"I know Zeref very well. When I used to be by his side, his technique in killing someone was to decapitate or to dismember. He's really feared by many people but he's not as scary as Achnologia. Zeref is crazy in the head and that's why I fled his headquarters and his business. I joined Brandish and here I am with you guys." Larcade says, still in aghast. 
                          
"Gray, please get rid of this. Burn it, do whatever you want with it but I don't want it here in this house. Please." I said, and he nods, grabbing the box and going off with Juvia and Gajeel. 
                          
"Wait, that man knows our location, Lucy. He said that he'll be bringing chaos and destruction to us! He's know where we live and he can get us so easily. Heck, he might even throw a couple bombs in here and we all die!" Mira exclaims, and tears run down my cheeks. 
                          
"We need to leave right now! This place isn't safe for anyone! Plus, there's children!" 
                          
"No! We're not running away anymore! I won't give in to him! That's what he wants us to do! He wants us to leave like cowards and then follow us to our next destination! We will never be in peace unless we confront them head on! He won't dare touch a finger on none of ya'll because if he wants war, war he'll get!!" I shouted, grabbing my gun and charging it, speed walking towards the entrance.
                          
"Lucy! What are you doing!?" 
                          
I open the door and shoot at the air, looking everywhere around me.
                          
"Alright, mother fucker! I know you're watching me from somewhere! Stop being such a fucking punk and confront me head on! Don't be such a coward! What you're trying to do is make me run away again but that won't happen! I'm so sick of running away so why won't we settle this once and for all, Zeref! If you touch or lay a finger on my family, I swear to Mavis herself, you will regret ever being born! 'Cause no one messes with FairyTail and gets away with it! This is a warning! Do it and you'll see!!" I yell out, shooting more bullets in the air. 
                          
I take a deep breath but someone grabs my arm and pulls me back inside, slamming the door. Larcade grabs me by the shoulders and looks at me with crazy eyes. 
                          
"You don't know what you're getting yourself into, Lucy! I don't want you to get hurt by him! I've seen how he is and if he ever gets threatened, he will snap and kill one of our members one by one! Do you really want all of us to die!? Even worse, yourself!? We need to leave this place now!" Larcade shouts out, and Natsu gets his hands off.
                          
"Hands off, Larcade! Watch who the fuck you're talking to. If you don't want to be involved in this mess, go back to Zeref you call a father. Lucy doesn't want to run away anymore and this house she will keep for the rest of her life! She isn't the same Lucy from two years ago. She is a whole different person now. Anyone who agrees with Larcade can go ahead and join him. Begin an army for all I care." Natsu says, sticking by my side.
                          
"You don't know anything, Dragneel. You wanna know my full name!? My name is Larcade Dragneel, and I am the adopted son of Zeref Dragneel, your fucking brother. Should I call you uncle now, Natsu!?" Larcade exclaims, and I widen my eyes.
                          
Natsu...has a brother?!
