I shivered, rubbing my upper arms to try and rid myself of the tiny goosebumps that had formed. It was really hot, the sun's rays beating down on my skin heatedly, so I wasn't sure why I was feeling so cold...

I shuddered again, suddenly having the feeling of being watched. I gave a quick glance over my right shoulder. The road was empty. I was being followed by it again.

Swallowing hard, I jerked into a sprint, my padded feet smacking against the road as I took a sudden left turn, heading straight to Natsu's house. I knew he wasn't home, he was still at the guild with everyone else, but laying on his couch surrounded by heaps of dirty dishes and clothes sounded so much better than being overwhelmed by the feeling of being alone at my apartment.

When I was at my house, I heard weird things. A floorboard creaking, the fridge being opened, a door being slammed, the screech of a chair being pushed across my wood floor... And it didn't all happen at night. Sometimes I would be sitting in mid-afternoon, working on my latest chapter of my novel, when a sudden gust of wind would blow all my papers off my desk. Once, my pen even flew out of my own hand by an unseen force.

For me, even though it went majorly against my religion, the only explanation was a ghost.

Of course, I hadn't told any of my friends. None of them had noticed, so if I mentioned it to them, they would surely think I was crazy. I didn't want that at all.

Once I arrived at Natsu's porch, I flung his door open, and leaped into his house that smelled oddly like strawberries and vanilla... Weird.

I slammed the door behind me, immediately twisting the lock on the door. Turning around, I cautiously made it over to his clothes-covered couch, careful not to step on anything on the floor.

I carelessly threw everything on the couch (which was a lot) over my shoulder, not even glancing at where it landed. When it was clear, I yanked on one of his green sweaters that I didn't even know he had, and curled up on the musky colored cushion.

It gave a soft squeal as I shifted as far as I could into it.

Sighing, I gazed around the room silently, wondering when Nastu would come home. Probably not till late...

That meant that I had to stay in his living room, alone.

Damn it.

I turned over, facing the couch as my eyes started to tear up.

I was just so afraid. Why did I have to be the one to be haunted? Why couldn't the damn ghost just find the damn light and go into it? It couldn't be that hard. Of course, I wouldn't know, but I mean seriously... It's just like walking through a tunnel right?

I sighed again. I wonder when my time to go will come... I hope it's not unbearably painful, or soon.

And I hope that when it happens, Natsu will hold me in his warm arms, whispering loving words in my ear of how everything was going to turn out okay, even though we both know that it's not.

And even though it's selfish, stupid, idiotic, weird, and all those other bad things, I hope I die on a mission. I'm so tired of how he never watches me, never gives me a glance during the battle.

I mean seriously, I'm not freaking superman! I'm not weak, of course, but I'm definitely not strong enough to deserve not being worried about. He, as my partner and best-friend, should learn that I need to be protected.

Will it hurt him, when I die? Will he, and my other guild mates, be sad? Will they miss me? Or will they just forget about me, and move on?

I guess I would just have to wait to find out...

Natsu, don't ever forget about me, okay?

If you did, I wouldn't know what to do with myself, even if I was dead...

Because...

Because...

Because-

"I love you you stupid, stupid idiot!"

I stared at the made, empty bed, worry starting to fill me. Where was that weirdo?

I was positive she left the guild; I had watched her stiff back retreat our table, and her emotionless glance over her shoulder right before the doors shut her out.

She had left. It was a fact.

But then, why wasn't she here in her room sleeping? She would have surely gone home... right?

But...

What if when she was walking home... What if...?

He cursed loudly, and with one swift movement, he leaped out of her window, landing gracefully on the grass with a so-quiet-it-almost-wasn't-there kind of thump.

"Lucy!" His whine echoedin the cool, crisp night air as only one thought ran through his head over and over again.

Where are you?

~-~-~PaGeBrEaK~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~PaGeBrEaK~-~-~-~-~~~-~-~PaGeBrEaK~-~-~~

Crrrrreeeeaaaaaakkkkkkkk.

The door opening woke me up, and I groggily rubbed at my eyes, murmuring, "N-N-Nat-suu? S'that you?"

"Luce?" He whispered softly, and I suddenly felt his cool breath on my neck, giving me a deep chill that ran down my spine.

"Mmm..." I shifted slightly, feeling his cold touch to my bare cheek.

"Shhh, Luce..." He said quietly, "Shh, just go back to sleep."

He was here, talking to me, touching me comfortingly...

So why did I still feel so scared?

Sooo, what did you think? I was sort of rushed while writing it, so it's kinda choppy in certain places... Definitely not my best work, aha:)

Review please?:)
