She was gone, and there was nothing he could do about it. It had happened 3 days ago while Team Natsu was on a job. It was supposed to be an ordinary mission, take down some local thugs...that was it, or at least it was supposed to be that easy. The job turned out to be an ambush from a small but powerful dark guild. They got separated...he couldn't be there to protect her, and now he was paying the price.
He got there too late, just long enough to see the dark guild run away with a look of triumph on their faces. To see her left for dead, she died in his arms. The last thing she said was thank you, he couldn't even think about it. He already had nightmares every night about it. At least she looked at peace, that's one thing he was thankful for.
He would never get to hear her laugh, never get to see her smile. Lucy...was gone. For good, and it broke his heart.
Authors Note: Sorry this is a little sad, I'll try to put out some more happy things. I hope you like my first attempt at a Fairy Tail FanFic. See Ya! :-D
