Lucy P.O.V.
Please! Please Natsu! Don't die on me! Not yet! You promised me we would go on more adventures!
I can hear the clashing of magic from the guild hall and I know Zeref and Natsu are still in there, fighting until they both die. I'm clutching the book of E.N.D. and hoping that Natsu will survive through this. Gray and Happy sit on the bench near by, staring at the horrible book that may kill their best friend.
I take a deep breath and open the book. I get overwhelmed as the words of the book surround me. I can see all of Natsu's life, from 400 years ago when he's living happily with his older brother Zeref and the rest of his family to the fight happening right this moment. I tear up as I see all of Natsu's hardships. Tears stream down my face as I see Natsu looking for Igneel that fateful day 7 years ago. I smile as I see Natsu mind learning about his past and choosing either demon or dragon, but choosing human instead. Then, I hear a sudden 'pop' as words all over start to disappear.
"The words are popping!" Happy says.
"Did something happen to Natsu?" Gray asks as his eyes are wide.
We watch the words pop for a few seconds until I answer, "He's hurt… He's got a serious injury somewhere."
I stand up and grab a pen, knowing what to do. As I look at Gray's expression, I know he agrees.
"Do you know which part you've got to rewritten?" Gray says, his face calm but I know he's worried for his long held friend.
"Not really, but I'll start off by fixing the words that just disappeared," I answer.
"Fixed the words you say," Happy whispers as he watches the popping continue. "It was so sudden that I don't remember what those words were."
I stare at Happy as I answer in the most confident voice I've ever had; "No worries. I remembered all of it."
I start to rewrite all the words that disappeared. My body starts to ache until the aching turns to burning, but I keep going. I need to save Natsu. I need to save him to make up for all the times he saved me. I keep writing until all the words are back. I hear Gray and Happy say something, but I do not listen. Their words flow through my ears, yet I don't know what they are saying. I just stand there. The burning starts to increase and I try to hold back but I can't. I start to scream.
I bend over while holding my stomach and I say, "It's hot… something inside my body."
Gray and Happy say something again, yet I do not know what they are saying.
I continue: "But this… is a clue… Maybe this magic power can…"
"Rewrite the demon inside Natsu…" Happy whispers as he understands. I'm happy I can hear them again when Happy says, "But Lucy, you…"
"I'm fine," I say as I interrupt him.
Suddenly, I feel a cold hand on my back, moving away the painful burning sensation.
"It's cold," I say as I look behind to see Gray.
"Let's go save Natsu," he says, so serious.
I smile and answer, "Yeah."
I stand up and start writing in the book of E.N.D., hoping that this will work. Hoping I can go on some more adventures with Natsu. I write all the memories I have had with Natsu. I start with the beginning of our adventure when Natsu and Happy came to save me from the pretend' Salamander' and Natsu wrecked the whole town for the first time that we were together. I write all our missions, the big and small ones. I write about meeting Gajeel, Juvia, and Laxus when they were against us. I write about the Tower of Heaven and meeting Jellal/Siegrain. I write about Edolas and saving all of my friends. I write about the 7 year gap and the Grand Magic Games. I write about Natsu leaving me for a whole year, only to come back stronger, and the feeling I had when I saw him wreak the games. I write about getting Fairy Tail back together and the feeling of love and family when we all met up in front of the guild hall. I write about all our amazing adventures and our memories together as a family.
When I finish, I stare at the book until it starts to glow. Suddenly, the words start to get sucked in by the book.
"What's going on?!" Gray asks, starting the panic.
"The book is…" Happy answers, "the words are returning into the book."
"We need to get to Natsu!" I yell as I stand up and start running to the guild hall while holding the book, not even looking back to see whether Gray and Happy are following.
Please! Please Natsu! Be ok! I run and run. I pass by my apartment that's wreaked from the fight. I pass by my favorite book store and my favorite cafe. Every part of Magnolia that I love is wrecked from this horrible fight. I get the the guild hall to see a knocked down Fairy Tail. Flames are everywhere and I know they're from Natsu. The worst about this is the dark magic that I can feel from all around that guild.
"Natsu?" I say as I head inside.
What I find make my heart shatter until every part is broken enough to fly away in the wind. And it does. Zeref is on the floor hugging Mavis. Both their eyes are closed and their bodies are fading away, piece by piece. I realize they are both dying. Then, I see Natsu. He's standing above them with his toothy grin.
"Hi Lucy," he says.
Suddenly, the book of E.N.D. starts to fade away like Zeref and Mavis. I look up to find Natsu in the same state. Natsu's dying.
"Natsu!" I scream as I run up to him and wrap my arms around him until we end up sitting on the floor. "Please! Please don't leave me! Not yet! Not again!" I scream.
"Shh," Natsu says. "It's ok. You're not hurt and that's all that matters. As long as you are ok, I'm ok. You can still go on many more adventures with our family for me."
I sob and sob. I smell the scent of Natsu's famous campfire smell. I feel Natsu's amazing pink hair as I run my hands through it. I sob even more as I stuff my face into his dragon scale scarf that Natsu never lets go of. I hold onto that scarf until that's the only part left of the famous Natsu Dragneel. He's gone! I failed to save him, and now, he's gone forever! He's not coming back this time!
I sob and sob there for hours. People from the guild start to head towards the guild, celebrating the victory of winning against Zeref. Each one of them stops dead in their tracks as they see the scarf without its owner.
Suddenly, I feel something in the scarf. I look at the scarf in my hands as everyone watches. Everyone, even Gray, Gajeel, and Laxus, are tearful. I open up the ruffled scarf to find a little piece of paper. It's the same paper that was used in the book of E.N.D. My sobbing gets so much worse as I read the words on the little scrap of the book:
I love you Lucy.
Thanks for the adventures.
