"Good morning Lucy!" My eyes fly open and I scream. Someone's face is right next to mine and It's a moment before I recognize the pink haired dragon slayer. Oh, sorry, I mean salmon.
"Natsu! What are you doing here?! Get out of my apartment! NOW!" He covers his ears and backs away from me. I instantly regret screaming at him. I keep forgetting his ears are almost as sensitive as mine. "Sorry, I forgot. Your ears are really sensitive."
"Don't worry about it." He half shouts at me over the ringing in his ears. I know they're ringing because mine would be too. "I should be going now, I've got some things to do. See you later Luce." He climbs out my window and I silently watch him go. I wonder if he'll ever figure it out. . .
I climb out of bed and get dressed. I'd had such a wonderful dream last night. . .
The dream
I run through the grass, glancing behind me to see if he was following. He was. His salmon hair was the color of the petals on all the flowers. Salmon and gold. I squeal with delight as he catches up to me. His arms circle around my waist as he pulls me to him. I spin around and pull his head down towards mine.
"I love you Lucy Heartfilia."
"I love you too."
But I know that will never happen. . . There's no way he'd ever feel the same way I do. No way in Earthland. Maybe someplace else, like Edolas, but not here. . . He doesn't even notice me sometimes. But I love him. I just wish. . . No, it won't happen. He's made it clear that we're just friends.
I'm about to sit down to write my thoughts in a letter to my dead mother when I hear screams. It's morning, why would anyone be screaming? I look out my window. People rush past in a panic. I grab my keys and run out into the street to see what's going on. A tidal wave of darkness creeps towards me.
"Shoot. Open gate of the lion! Leo!" Loke appears in front of me. "What is that? Can you do anything about it?"
"I don't know, let's see."He prepares to attack it. I back away, just in case. "Regulus Impact!" The shadows move away from the light. But some of it goes around him and heads straight towards me.
"LUCY! DON'T LET IT TOUCH YOU!" Natsu runs towards me but I can't move. Magic vines wrap around my legs, holding me in place. Someone really wants the shadow to get me.
It's almost here.
As the edge of the wave hits me, I can feel the light being pushed out of me. Darkness consumes my heart, turning it black. And I can't stop it.
"NOOOOOOO!" Sorry Natsu, it looks like you won't be able to save me this time. "Lucy. Lucy, look at me. Can you hear me? Lucy? Lucy! Lucy don't give in! Come back, please, come back." There are tears in his eyes but I can't move. I can't speak.
I'm fading, sinking into the black. I can't hold on much longer. The dark is too strong. I'll be gone soon. And I never told him the truth. . .
