We were continuing with the journey, when I heard my stomach rumble. I hadn't eaten since yesterday evening and was so hungry, but we have to ration the food, so I have to miss out until dinner.

"Do you want some food?" Natsu asked me.
"No, it's okay." I replied. "I can wait."
"That's the thing..." He mumbled. Suddenly a loud rumble emerged from the pit in his stomach. "I don't think I can wait." I burst out laughing at him, causing a smile to creep onto his face aswell.

"Okay then, let's eat!"

(A/N): みなさん、こんにちは！ (Hello everyone!) I'm back with another chapter. Sorry it took so long, but I was thinking about what I can do in the next couple of chapters. Well... I hope you'll enjoy it!

P.S- is anyone keeping up with Attack on Titan season 2? I'm up to date and OMG I can't deal with all the things they've told us.

Anyway, enjoy the chapter~ (^ᴥ^)

After a week's worth of walking we finally made it to the base of the ominous mountain. Me and Natsu both sat ourselves down on a nearby rock, feeling a huge sense of achievement. We finally made it!
"We did it Natsu!" I smiled happily. "We made it to the mountain."
"Yeah." He replied, showing his toothy grin. "We did."

We sat in silence, observing the beautiful jungle from the large rock we sat on at the base of the mountain. Until..

"Well, we can't sit around forever." Natsu sighed. "I recon we have about 6 hours to get a makeshift shelter built before it goes dark, and I need to go catch our dinner too." I sighed, remembering that we no longer have other tribe members to rely on.
"You're right," I replied, standing back up. "Let's decide where we're putting our shelter for now then."

After some discussing, we decided that our makeshift shelter would be on the ground, and we'd use a fire to scare away predators. Our real shelter would be high up in the mountain's trees, but that will take a while to build...

Our spot was right at the base of the mountain, where the ground was flat and there were lots of tall trees surrounding us.
"You go find some large palm leaves and put them in a pile here." Natsu told me. "I'll cut down some branches we can use for supports." I nodded, and set off in search for large palm leaves.

(A/N): The jungle next to the mountain looks a little like that. I know there's no palm trees there but let's pretend there is for the sake of the story.

Once we'd collected the branches and leaves, we began weaving the palm leaves together to make a watertight roof for our shelter, then we began tying the leaves to the branches to make a roof, and then tied it to the branches in the trees.
"Okay, now the fire." Natsu sighed heavily, and once again we set off in different directions looking for firewood.

By the time we'd come back we had about one hour until the sun started setting.
"Crap," Natsu cursed, hearing his stomach rumble. "Can you start the fire whilst I go hunt?"
"Yeah," I replied, "Just don't get lost, okay."
"Got it." He flashed a smile, grabbing his spear and heading off into the bushes.

I'm alone.

I set to work on the fire, scraping away at the stones until a spark eventually set the straw alight. I cheered in delight, finally being able to relax now the fire's been lit. It was just going dark, and it took so long to start the goddamn fire!

The only problem was that Natsu wasn't back yet.

It's been 7 days since the finale at the arena. I can't believe The Titan Tribe won again! I swear, Asuna and Yuno were so close to winning but Mikasa was so strong!

(A/N): Yuno and Asuna got the same amount of votes, but Mikasa got +7 more.

The hunters were gathering to go hunting for the first time in a week, since before the games everyone gathered a lot, and we've just finished the leftovers.

Everything was getting back to normal: some male tribe members were building paths to everyone's hut to make it easier for people to get around, some females were doing the daily food delivery to each hut, and the hunters were getting active again.

Juvia's having a hard time with her baby. I have noticed that in this tribe there are no little children running around, so I've been starting to suspect something going on. Also, I'm starting to think that Juvia's not old enough to give birth to a kid, but there's no way I'm telling anyone. Have you seen what happened to Natsu? His name as a hunter is constantly being ridiculed, and I don't want to be put in the same situation as that.

All the hunters gathered by the gate, ready to set off into the outer world.
As usual, we were ordered into our generation groups, ours being the youngest generation. Our group leader, Jellal, counted our group, making sure everyone was here.

"Wait a minute..." He mumbled.
"What is it?" I asked him.
"We're missing one." He told me.
"You mean Natsu?" I replied. "Haven't you heard?"
"Of course I have." He replied. "I'm not counting Natsu,"

"There's someone else missing."

(A/N): CLIFFHANGER! Who's missing? It's not Natsu, so who else could it be???

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed!!
