Chapter 1: The sort of prologue
Sequel to: Oblivion! (finally!)
Tears strolled down the female's face in the alley her hands clasped together the only thing relieving the silence was her sobbing and the pouring rain. "Levy? What are you doing out here in the cold? Where's Gajeel?" someone ran up to her, Natsu, looking bemused at why she was alone. Levy tightened her grip on her coat shaking her head 'no' as in not right now. "They took them..." Levy choked out.
"Took who? What happened? Where have you been?" Natsu asked holding his guild mate by the forearms as he looked down at her dramatically. "They t-took Ravi and C-clem..." Levy found herself sobbing louder it was probably an eerie screech to the dragon slayer. "Why? Who? Where were...where are Gajeel and Pantherlily?" Natsu felt his grip tighten in worry for his friend. Why hadn't she mentioned Gajeel once? Why would someone want Levy's children? Was anyone else out of the guild in danger of this threat?
"I can't tell you...I-I knew they w-would come o-one day, and they'll-l be back safely is what I felt but why do I feel this way!?" Levy couldn't prevent herself from shrieking as the tears bawled out from her eyes. "Natsu what's the matter? Aren't we on a date? You just took off!" Lucy's voice echoed down the alley obviously sounding irritated but at the same time confused. "I was right! Come here I found someone!" Natsu shouted as Lucy ran down her heels clicking in the rain. "Levy-Chan? We haven't seen you in forever!" Lucy's smiled melted as she looked at her sobbing friend confused. "What happened?" Lucy asked in total shock.
"It's alright, we'll find them, just like the old days." Natsu smiled patting his guildmate on her blue hair. "Come on, let's take our friend home." Natsu said picking Levy up onto his back. Lucy paced next to Natsu quietly it was hard to hear in such weather anyway. When they finally got to their home Natsu placed the sleeping, yet still crying, Levy on the couch next to his little exceed Happy.
"What happened?" Lucy immediately demanded once he got out to the kitchen. "I found Levy wandering the streets.." Natsu started as Lucy immediately lost it in all of her questions. "What are we supposed to do? Why'd they disappear for all those years? How come Gajeel or Pantherlily aren't with her? Why is Levy-chan crying?!" Lucy sighed as Natsu looked at her. "Apparently Levy's twins have been kidnapped." Natsu sighed back to her. "oh then we'll just rescue them...and cool twins..." Lucy sighed looking at her guildmate remembering when Lucy herself had been such trouble. As she glanced back at Natsu.
"She has children!?"
"Well they've been missing for quite awhile now Lucy...Everyone kind of figured if they were alive of course they would." Natsu smiled at Lucy who glanced away blushing at the thought. She knew she wanted to be near Natsu but the idea of actually staying that far to become a family to have children and to stay together forever it wasn't the first time something like that had passed through her mind.
Fire keeps you warm, fire starts new life, fire is not evil. But if you come too close to fire you will be burned. But not Natsu's fire, Natsu's fire was more like a barrier that let the good come and go and protected her the good from the evil. That should've been enough for now. "I wish Levy didn't disappear...I wish she at least gave us a reason to vanish! Next time I see Gajeel I'm going to hurt him so bad you wouldn't even be able to recognize him to challenge him to a sparring match!" Lucy muttered to herself as Natsu glanced down at where Lucy was crouching next to Levy.
"That sounds dangerous." Natsu stated back not sure who he was worried about Gajeel or Lucy. In his opinion Lucy was pretty tough. There was a brief silence from Lucy before she replied again. "...Actually I would want to know why they wouldn't want to introduce their children to us...I would want to know why they disappear...I would want to know so many things..." Lucy sobbed next to her unconscious friend. "Right now whenever Levy wakes up, we just got to let her know we're there for her...she's probably scared." Natsu replied as Lucy stood up trying to hide the tears of frustration that emitted from her eyes.
"I wish I could help my friend, but the thing that frustrates me the most is...I can't do a thing!" Lucy sobbed as Natsu held onto the girl. "It's a bad time, but I want to ask her to be my wife, when will I get my chance to ask her? Gajeel wherever you are I'm going to give you a beating of a lifetime if you don't come back, or at least get Rami and Clem...all four of you." Natsu could feel his jealousy and worry pour out from him as he thought about Gajeel, who got lucky and quickly took the chance to marry Levy. Okay maybe not so quickly it was almost awkward watching him struggle to propose to Levy.
His friend would come back. "Don't worry Lucy, they'll get a chance to come back, you'll get your chance to see her children." Natsu smiled as Lucy nodded.
Hopefully one day they would have the chance to explain themselves.
