Introduction~
It was silent.
Nothing could be heard except for the booming heartbeat protruding from Natsu's chest.
Silence.
Nothing was ther-.
Footsteps. Jingling bells.
It was coming closer and closer to Natsu, as he could feel the place tremble at each jingling footstep. He knew who it was and so did Gray.
Heavy breathing protruded from Natsu's mouth.
Suddenly, silence dawned on them once again.
'Why is it silent?' Natsu thought to himself suspiciously.
Natsu and Gray had to get out of their dark place, and they both knew to take the risk.
Natsu's hand clasped around the small door handle, but little did he notice his unsteady and shaking hand drained from sweat from his sweaty forehead.
He twisted the handle.
What Natsu saw outside the door was nothing. He blew a sigh of relief.
Gray exclaimed,"IT's coming! QUICK close the door!"
Natsu still had not processed Gray's exclaimation and was hesitant to close the door.
Gray took the initiative and closed the door.
However... the door could not close.
Natsu and Gray turned their gaze towards a foot...
A shoe to be precise...
A shoe with dangling bells tied to the shoelaces...
It was IT… it was HER.
