Zeref POV
We were a happy family.

Me, Natsu, my Dad, and my Mom. Though we were very poor and didn't live in the best house, we managed to get by.

Dad worked very hard for us, maybe a little too much. Mom would sometimes stare out of the window and sigh.

I loved my mom very much, but something always felt odd about her. She didn't look like us, well not in appearance, but demeanor.

She walked different and had a different from of speech. Naturally I kind of picked up on it, but I only realized when I started hanging out with kids my age.

They all seem so different from me. Natsu on the other hand seemed fine, probably because he's an airhead who can't learn.

Mother began teaching me basic things like education. Soon I began to learn how to read and write.

It was very unusual for a kid like me. No one I knew, knew how to write or read.

What was mother hiding. I soon found out that education wasn't meant for people like me, it was meant for the people who are higher on the hierarchy, otherwise known as the wealthy.

Was mother wealthy this whole time? Was she kicked out of her family, maybe it's because she married father.

"Nii~! What are you thinking about! Your face looks very strange. Father says you shouldn't keep your head in the clouds for too long."

I ruffled my little brother's hair. " and you need to at least think for a second."

Maybe I should confront mother about this? I wonder if she would tell me or not.

I wanted to uncover the mystery surrounding my mother. Even if it's just to satisfy my curiosity.

I watched as she began chopping vegetables by the counter. I waited till she put out the fire before having my discussion with her.

"M-Mother."

She turned around. "Yes sweetie."

"Can we talk." She understood and pulled out a chair for her and I at the table.

"So what is you wanted to speak about dear."

"Mother this May be a weird question, but I wanted to know about your background."

Her eyes grew wide in shock. "Well it's just I've been thinking about it, since you know how to read and write and you posture is different."

There was a small pause, "My My, well aren't you a smart boy."

She patted my head and I felt slightly embarrassed.

"Well you could say that I was born with things given to me. I'm afraid to say more, because I don't want to put you in harm. Maybe when your a little older and able to protect yourself." She touched my nose

It made me even more curious. Why would It dangerous!? Are people looking for her? I must become strong then to protect my mother.

I wonder if father knows or not.

I should look for him. I ran outside to look for him.

"Is he not here?" I thought to myself. Maybe he's at work.

I sighed. I don't want to be a burden on him, I guess I'll just head to my secret spot and rest.

I made my way to a hill which was a bit farther away from the village and obviously higher.

*yawn* I'm very sleepy. I closed my eyes for a second until I heard a crash.

I woke up and saw something horrible. A huge army.

Not just a regular army, one in the sky...consisting of Dragons.. they attacked the village.

"Mom! Dad! Natsu!!!" I was scared my body began to tremble. To think everything was normal a minute ago, and now fire smoke...the smell of death.

Everyone in the village I can feel their suffering. My legs wouldn't move, I was paralyzed in fear.

What if I die! My life was turned upside down from there.

My body didn't let up until I saw no signs of dragons. Even if I could move I was too late.

Everything was destroyed... I knew even if I could move I wouldn't have been able to do anything.

Why was I even walking through the village. There was nothing left.

I saw our house, completely wrecked. My parents bodies were no where to be seen. That's when I saw.. Natsu.

He was under a pile of rubble. My knees came down. He was my younger brother...and now he's gone.

Then I saw his arm it twitched. "He's alive!" I began trying to move the rubble on him. I tried and tried until I got him out.

"Natsu! It's me, your brother!"

"N..i..i" He said in a breaking voice. He was badly hurt.

"Don't worry I'll carry you to the next city or village.

I hoisted him and began dragging us. "I will save you Natsu... I promise."

Finally I saw a city. I could help him.

"Natsu we made it!"

"Natsu?" There were no signs coming from him at all. Not even a single movement

"H-Hey, we are here.. Natsu..your still with me right?" Nothing...

He's gone.. I couldn't save him..the last family I had, slipped from my fingers..why did this happened to me..

"Natsu. I will save you, I promised you."

Years Later

"My latest creation.. E.N.D."

"Etherious Natsu Dragneel. I kept my promise didn't I, little brother."
