Natsu held his best friend in his arms. Blood was slowly pooling on the floor beneath the pair but he didn't care. "Please don't go," he whispered into her ear. "I can't live without you."
Lucy looked up at him with faded brown eyes. There were so many things that she wanted to say to him but couldn't get the breath to do so. She slowly brought her hand up to his face and ran her fingers along his jaw.
"Please? I need you!" tears were pouring down Natsu's cheeks but he paid no heed to them. He held her hand to his face to keep it from falling.
'I love you' Lucy thought hopelessly as she felt the pain begin to fade and be replaced by complete numbness. 'So this is what it feels like to die.' She mused as her arm lost its strength and fell limp in Natsu's hand. She closed her eyes and let out her last breath.
