I've been in a real Tragic mood lately, and I have no idea why! *scratches her head* but, Jesus I hope I get more reviews for my oneshots. I do them to help bring in more readers and I like doing them inbetween my latest story,
Gomenasai if nobody can find that story truly, I would look up my name under author and then just scroll to find it cause it won't show up as far as I know cause it's a crossover of a video game haha and Fairy tail so I doubt it shows up real well!
That story's called Scattered Light and I beg please check it out! If you don't know Kingdom hearts DON'T WORRY! I WILL explain each character I bring into the story that are singally kingdom hearts characters, none of the disney characters nor my own created characters, who I will explain very later when their identities are revealed.
Here's another oneshot, please give me a bit of credit for being creative with my last one cause even though She is the Sunlight wasn't as good as Endlessly Falling, I assure you I had lost my patience with She is the sunlight because I had to rewrite her 3 times over because her crap kept on getting deleted before I had the chance to save it.
So frankly, be glad I even posted her ass cause I was gonna just rename it to shattered and be done with it cause it was frustrating trying to get the lyrics written and still be interested in doing the stupid thing!
I changed it from how I wanted it to be to this. Mostly for the fact that how I had it going was completely different then how I wanted it to go. Hope you enjoy this really unique story. Also let me know if I should do a second chapter for this and end it at this.
Summery: Lucy's life is spiralling into chaos. Her parents control her life, and she is graduating soon. Natsu won't let her live by her parents choices and his family is right behind him. But what happens when a serious injury causes Lucy to pled for help? Will Natsu and his family fight back legally against her parents and claim her?
I sigh heavily, listening to Mom's and Dad's arguing about the finacies. Ever since Dad was diagnosed with stage 2 cancer, everything has gone down the drain. I've almost stop seeing all of my friends, since Dad's cancer makes it hard for him to do things on his own. And with my brother, Sting in the military, I'm the only one available to take care of him. I look down at my phone and notice the messages I got from my friends.
From Gray
You alright, Lu? Better talk to Flamebrain, never seen him so down :/
From Erza
Sent a picture
He's a mess, Lucy. Better say something
I take note of the picture Erza sent me. It was Natsu at Lunch earlier this week. His pink bangs hanged down in his face, his chin and cheek pressed into the table with a deep set in frown on his always happy-go-lucky face. Even his eyes have a shade of sorrow to them.
I texted the two back in a group chat, giving in finally after weeks of desperate messages and pictures of Natsu being meloncoly.
To Erza and Gray
Ok, you win. I'll check up on him ^_^
The twosome messaged back right away, not even a minute later.
From Gray and Erza
Thanks Lu, hopefully Flamebrain will actually perk up
Tells us how it goes, Lucy. And don't be hard on him, he's had rough weeks without you :(
I give them a thumbs up as I go look at my dreaded messages from Natsu. He's blown up my phone almost everyday asking me how I was and why he's never seen me.

From Natsu 1 hour ago
Hey, Luce. Bet you heard, huh? Dad busted my closet door down and dragged me out. I wish you would text me once, just once and I'd be a happy guy again.
From Natsu: 30 minutes ago
I hope your alright, Luce. Everyone misses you. I miss you a lot. Please come back ok?
I sigh at all the messages I just got within just today. My fingers are quivering with uncertainty on what to put down in my message to my best friend.
From Lucy
Hey, I'm sorry I never messaged you back. Dad's cancer has gotten worse. He still works from home though but I still can't hang with anyone.
My phone beeped not even a second later.
From Natsu
Luce?
Your ok!
I laugh to myself. I needed his enthusiasum, since my weeks are getting harder. School's coming to a close and so is my social life. I was actually afraid that my friends would forget about me when I graduate.
We send each other messages after messages until it was midnight. It feels good to finally talk to Natsu again. He could always make me laugh. I'm gonna miss his laugh when I graduate… I tell Natsu night and climb into bed and try not to let out a shudder of a breathe as I hold back the tears once more.
Ever since the first semester ended, I've had a hole in my heart filled with dread of the day I graduate. My parents already signed me up to do a job.
"You WHAT?" I screamed when the old pair told me about the job training that they signed me up for. It's for a job I would never want to do. Nursing aid. I was never good around or in hospitals. Needles made me squeemish and doctors in hopsitals always gave me goosebumps.
"We find that you'll enjoy something…different!" Layla said quizzically. She handed me a print out of the job training they signed me up for. Then I saw how much it paid. They paid 12 dollars a hour, which could help with the bills and the expenses on Dad's cancer.
"I…I guess I could…" I said half heartedly, knowing if I took this job I would be able to help with bills, but I also would be giving up my dream job, being a writer. Natsu always said I could, because of how realistic I made the enviornments and the people within the stories.
"That's a good girl…" Dad wheased out, coughing a bit before continuing his newspaper. I accepted my fate as is. Although I hated it even more when Grandma Porluscia found out and nearly tore appart my parents for their underhanded descion on my life.
"You stay out of that girl's life, Layla!" Porluscia exclaimed over dinner. I looked down into my plate of spaggetti and wished in that moment I was invisble.
"You can't tell me how to raise my child, Porluscia!" Porluscia was Dad's mom and she and my mom never truly got along since Layla nearly ordered Dad to do almost anything and everything. Dad sat quiet as well just like me.
"I will if it's gonna affect the poor girl for the rest of her life! She shouldn't be taking care of Your Husband! That's YOUR job! Let the girl live how she wants to, be who she wants to be!" I agreed with Grandma but there was noway I would get backhanded by mom like the last time I agreed with the one person she hated the most on Earthland, so I kept my agreement to myself.
"And it's not YOUR job to be ordering me around when it involves my family!" I jumped up in an instant. Family? We haven't acted like a family since I was a sophmore. And it's because of the secret affair Mom's having behind Dad's back. I never had the heart to tell Dad, fearing if I did, the cancer would take him quicker cause he depends on mom and mine's love to keep him going.
"LIES!" I screamed loudly. I jumped up and glared at my mom. "We haven't been a family since your AFFAIR WITH JEFFERY AT YOUR JOB!" Mom was on me in a second and slapped me so hard I ended up sliding on the floor away from her.
"LAYLA!" Porluscia screamed at what my mother had done. I couldn't even move cause I was paralyzed. It was that moment on, I became a doll, always obeying and agreeing with mom. I never saw Grandma after that visit.
I had a welp and a bruise all at the same time on my right cheek. Natsu demanded I told him where and how I got the welped bruise from but I never could or would cause knowing him he would try and give my mom the same exact mark.
My thoughts come back to the present as Natsu spams me with empty messages hoping to draw my attention back.
From Lucy
Gomen, Natsu… I've had a lot on my plate lately… can we hang out sometimes?
Natsu responded almost immediately messages back. I'm litterally surprised by his answer.
From Natsu
Now?
I roll my eyes and give in, saying no to Natsu isn't a thing that happens a lot in my book. I text him back a yes and ask where do we meet, all while changing into something that would be more pleasurable and comfy.
From Natsu
My house? C'mon, please? My parents love you, my sister loves you even Happy loves you, so come over!
I couldn't argue with the logic he points out. His parents do like me as well as his kid sister, Wendy and his cat, Happy. I sigh and give him an ok as I finish getting dress and fixing up my hair a bit better before pulling on my 2 inch thick heeled boots. I was wearing a semi baggy tee with my favorite anime on it, Inuyasha (I know what I did there, shut up XD I love it too :P) I also wear my skinny jeans which has holes in several areas I cut open for breathing room.
I pull open my bedroom door after pocketing my phone, sending a message to Natsu about how I'll be there shortly. I climb down the long grand stair case, if you could call it that and walk into the kitchen area where my parents are once again arguing about finacial problems.
"Hey Mom, Dad." I give them a nod as I pull my t-shirt jacket, which is a jacket with a hood, a zipper and instead of long sleeves it has short sleeves on it. My parents look at each other then come towards me as I make my way through the living room to the front door.
"Where in the world are you going?" I pull on my usual bag, that's always permade days in advance. I always have a spare toothbrush, comb, deoderant, clothes, a book, my mp3 with the charger just in case and my spare phone charger. Back when me and Natsu hanged out more, I always had this bag in case Natsu wanted me to spend the weekend at his house. Just like he did with me, he had his own bag as well as I found out once when I spent the weekend with him.
I turn and look at the ageingly old folks. Mom's skin has more wrinkles on it than the last month and Dad's physic looks more decrepted than it did months ago. I give them both a let-me-live-my-life-for-once look. I cover up with a knowing smile. "Natsu invited me to come to his house for the weekend. He knows how much I work around here so he wanted me to come over and spend time with him and his family." Natsu's family was always better than mine, and both my parents knew it. They knew if they got a divorce I would be out in an instant, living with Natsu and his always welcoming parents. His parents already treat me like I'm apart of their family.
"And who said you could go?" Mom gave me an ugly look, her face even more worn with the experssion she had. I give her another dirty look one that said I've done your job for years let me live my life or I'll leave yours. Mom stays quiet after my look and just gives a wave of her hand. "Say hi to Grandeeny for me." She turns her back to me and ushers Dad into the kitchen as I take off towards Natsu's house.
The walk to his house isn't even that long, in fact I'm practically skipping my way to his house on the pure joy of freedom I'm finally tasting. I make it to his front door in no time. His jeep sits out front of his house, the one his Dad spruses up for when the day Natsu gets his license so he can drive it. He's always had his eye on his Dad's firey red Cherokee Jeep. I also see his mom's mini van for carpool week. I cross onto the concrete path that leads to his one step porch and ring the door bell.
I can hear four voices through the door, the loudest being Natsu and his Dad, Igneel arguing. I knock on the door again, this time shouting. "Natsu! Let me in or I'm gone to see a movie!" it always pisses him off when I make that threat, and several times it's actually worked because he hates me getting to his house to hang out but then the idea of me ditching him to see a movie always got him rilled up.
I can hear him screaming. "LUCE DON'T LEAVE! POPS, LET GO OF MY LEG!" Natsu screams as I pretend to make retreating footsteps which makes Natsu freak out even more. "LUCY!" I can almost hear the front door breaking down as Igneel slams the door open half of himself holding Natsu just by the foot so he doesn't crash through the door.
I sweat drop as I look on at the scene. I notice Natsu is on his back, clawing at his Dad's arm while Igneel has one foot pressed into Natsu's chest, holding him down while Igneel is still with his hand out opening an invisible door. "D-did I come at a bad time? Hehe…" I said quizically, usually when Igneel and Natsu were wrestling around in their living room, it usually meant something bad or something bad was gonna happen.
Natsu breaks free of his dad's grip and run past his old man to press me tight into a hug. "Luce!" he shouts in delight as he spins me around all while hugging me. I hug him back twice as hard and let out a genuine laugh. "Natsu! It's good to see you!" Natsu puts me back down on the ground so I can get a better look at my best friend. Even though he's like several months younger than me and a whole grade younger than me, he still looks the oldest between us.
"Damn. You got older again." I say with a straight face which causes him to bust a gut with laughter. His pink locks are a bit longer, than I remember and his eyes even have a hint of age and maturity to them. He's wearing a black open blazer, with a flame red cotton tee underneath with his non-fancy black jeans and decades old converse sneackers. His Father, Igneel, looks almost identical with the same Onyx eyes, brighter than the sun smile, and his firey passionate temper, you could tell where Natsu got his personality from. If Natsu was in college, he'd look more like his father.
"Get in here you two! Lucy, Grandeey and Wendy will be so happy to see you! Come give your Favorite uncle a hug!" Igneel bellows out a laugh as he looks at the two of us. Natsu's grinning from ear to ear just like his dad. "Hai!" We say simultaniously as Natsu takes my hand and almost drags me into his home. I'm met with Igneel's bone crushing hug as I step through the threshold. I can almost hear Natsu whinning.
"It's soooo good to see you, Lucy. How's your dad doing these days? Heard you've been busy doing Layla's job." Igneel gives off a pissed vibe, I can even feel one coming from Natsu. "Dad's doing fine, and I'm glad to help him when he needs it." I didn't even sound convincing, of course Natsu could always figure out I was lying to begin with anyway so what's the point of trying.
Igneel let me out of his vice grip hug and mutters. "Damn that old crow." Igneel bites his thumb and grumbles as he heads into the kitchen, possibly to break the news to Grandeeny that I'm finally visiting.
I look up at Natsu who's actually a foot taller than me. I smile at his worrylines and rub my palm onto his face, trying to wipe the worry from his features. "Baka, Natsu. Giving yourself so many wrinkles already." Natsu smiles through my hand and pries my hand off his face with one of his own.
"I know, Luce. But ever since your father found out he had Cancer, it's like you turned into his personal nurse, instead of his daughter." Natsu always hated it after he found out about Dad having cancer that my Dad would order me around like his nurse or a slave. He even thinks worse of my mom who encourages Dad's behavior.
"If my parents could have it their way, you'd be a Dragneel in a heartbeat." He tugs on my hand and pulls me into another hug, this one having more feeling. I blush slightly at his words. He mutters about how much he wants me to stay with them and not go back to the hell that is not of my own choosing.
"LUCY!" a familiar squeal let out as a much familiar dark blue hair woman rushes out of the kitchen and breaks me from her only son's arms. "It's soooo great to see you, sweetheart! Ooh, you got so much older and more gorgeous!" Grandeeny squeals even more, her long dark blue curls ticklng my face as she hugs me tightly. She looks at me with her equally gorgeous dark brown eyes. She looks the older version of Wendy if Wendy wasn't so shy all the time.
"Hi, Aunt Grandeeny!" I squeal and hug the older woman back giggling at her soft but kind grip. Igneel nudges Natsu up towards the stairs. "Go get your sister!" Natsu, being in too good of a mood to go against his dad as he always does, runs up their much narrower stair case and halfway up, he yells for Wendy.
"WENDY GET DOWN HERE!" from a distance I could hear a small yes coming from upstairs. Grandeeny let me out of her grip to look at Wendy, decending the stairs in her magenta dress and blue waistcoat. "Lucy-san!" the smaller bluenette rushs into my arms as I squeal at how beautiful she became over the past few months. "Wendy, you look so beautiful!" I look at her face, same brown eyes, slightly longer dark blue hair. She couldn't look anymore like her mom than if she tried. I laugh as the rest of the Dragneels hug me as well. I laugh loudly and hug each one back for a long time before Natsu began to hog me by trying to drag me up to his room.
"Luce, C'mon!~" Natsu whines, mostly cause his Mom and sister have me in a vice grip and won't let me go. Igneel manages to pull his lovely wife and daughter off of me and shoves me towards Natsu as we race up the stairs to his room.
Natsu opens his bedroom door, which is the closest to the stair case and the secondary bathroom. I laugh again when I see his always familiar fire red bedroom. His room was nothing but red, orange and some yellow. His bed spread has a flaming pattern. His curtains are orange, Heck even his Lamp is bright yellow. "Same old Natsu. You still love fire." I notice the blue bundle of fur on his pillow. Happy yawns and looks up at me with his dark brown eyes.
"Happy!" I squeal, picking up the blue fur ball and cuddle him in my arms. Happy purrs loudly for me letting me know how much he missed me. Natsu snaps a photo using his cellphone of me holding Happy. "Kawaii!" he gushes playfully as he takes Happy from my arms and plops the feline on his bed.
I take notice of the billboard on his wall and the old pictures that were on it. Mostly of us just within the 3 years we've known each other. One is of us on Natsu's birthday, one is of us at an arcade, another at the food court and Natsu is stufing his face in the picture, then my favorite of all of us hanging out at Fairy Tail, a local bar that Igneel owns.
I see how big I'm smiling in the pictures and almost blush at how close Natsu is to me in each photo. "Like the pictures I hanged up?" Natsu calls out, somewhere from behind me. I smile and look towards him, being on the floor ontop of his black and red shag rug he bought years ago to bring style into his room.
Natsu has a bright grin on his face and reaches a hand out towards me and pulls me down on the rug beside him as he hugs me close. 'Natsu? You ok?" I look at him with concern edged into my voice, my blonde locks semi falling into my face as I do. His face looks almost broken as he presses me into the hug further, trying to hide his face in my shoulder.
"It's nothing, Luce." His voice sounds even worse than his facial expression. I run my hand through his soft locks, making him look at me. "Natsu, what's wrong?" I cup his cheek with my other hand, making him look at me. His eyes are full of fear and pain, like someone had ripped his heart out and then smashed it. I cup both cheek and stroke one gently, encouraging him to speak up.
Natsu, unable to look away from me, starts to tear up. It shocks me greatly cause he never cries in front of anyone, let alone of ever having had cried before this week. "Natsu…!" I exclaim, my eyes widening at his tears. Natsu forces my hands off his face and hides his face in my shoulder, his hands gripping onto my back like a snake. "Please….. hic…" Natsu begins, his voice breaking apart by the minute. "Don't leave…..don't leave me alone again…." I hug him back twice as hard as my own tears slowly fall down as well.
"I won't go anywhere…" I stroke his hair once more. His response was a bit startling. "No… I mean….Please don't go back there….My parents will take care of you…. I'll take care of you…. You don't have to stay there! Please, Lucy…. Please stay here." My heart almost stopped due to his words. My tears fell faster but none of them were from having to reject my best friend's idea. They were for the fact that someone actually asked me to leave home and that they would care for me.
I bury my own face into Natsu's shoulder and smile deeply. My arms drop from relief and I close my eyes. Natsu holds me in his arms even though he's shaking so hard. "Why would I leave…? Everyone here loves me, more than my own parents….Please let me stay, Natsu…" the last tear falls from my closed eyes as I slump on him from exhausion.
I could feel Natsu's grip strengthen greatly. His voice goes a little deep probably from possessiveness and seriousness. "I promise, You'll be safe here… nobody will harm you again or make you their slave girl…" I could tell Natsu was holding back possibly years worth of rage towards Layla and Jude for their treatment of me.
I put my hand on his cheek, still half awake. "Stay with me….Natsu." my eyes grow more sleepily as Natsu lifts me up in his arms and lays us both on his bed to rest. I curl into Natsu's warmth as Happy lays beside my head on the bed as Natsu has a grip on my hand.
I'm out just seconds after we hit the bed.
I wake up to the sound of Igneel opening the door, my eyes wearily blink open slowly. I see that Natsu's face is just inches from mine a small smile on his face. My heart warms at his goofy smile as I poke his cheek slightly.
"Lucy?" I hear Igneel say my name. I peek over Natsu's shoulder to see the red hair male picking up Natsu's laundry basket. The older Dragneel cracks a grin as he sets the basket down lightly. "I haven't see Natsu heavily sleeping in ages. Lately he hardly ever sleeps." I raise an eyebrow as I crawl out of Natsu's grip to go sit next to his father. Natsu's grip slacks in his sleep luckily and I go sit next to his dad. "What do you mean, Uncle Igneel?"
Igneel gives me a sad smile. He wraps an arm around my shoulder. "Since the week you first avoided Natsu, the poor boy hardly slept. He would stay up for hours looking at the album of you guys he made over the years. Even the pictures he secretly had of you from ages ago back when u guys attended a school together. He was a light sleeper, probably hoping you'd invite yourself over and visit him so he'd always be awake to see you. About 3 months ago, he started to lock himself in the closet.
"Wendy was the only one to ever get him out willingly. Lucy, you complete his life. He secretly loves you. I know he won't say it himself because he's afraid he'll lose you if he does. It's why he likes the idea of you being a Dragneel without hinting at ideas that he likes you." I giggle slightly, I knew some of this months ago. I wish the same thing Natsu does. If I was a dragneel I would never have to worry about working at a job I don't want to do.
"Thanks for letting me know, Igneel." I smile up at the older male, as I look over at the still sleeping boy. My thoughts swirl around the idea that Natsu does in fact love me. I smile proudly and ruffle the boy's hair before kissing him on the head.
He sturrs in his sleep and slowly reaches over and grasps my hand. "Luce…" Natsu smiles in his sleep and squeezes my hand. Igneel nods his head and heads to the door. "Best if you stay with him. He needs the sleep." I nod and stroke Natsu's hair, his soft pink locks feel like silk.
A while later I fall back asleep but I wake up to Natsu nudging me. "Luce, wake up!" I grunt as I wipe my eyes clear of sand and crust as I look up at my grinning best friend. His smile is so contageous that I smile right back at him and jump into his arms for a big bear hug.
Natsu takes a long breath of relief and snuggles me in his arms tighter lifting me all the way into his arms until he has me bridal style. "Natsu!" I squeal as he hops off his bed and proceeds to run down the stairs carrying me this way.
We laugh as we reach the bottom of the stairs, His mom just walking out of the kitchen and lets out a high pitch squeal. "Igneel! Igneel, Darling! Look at the happy couple!~" I swear to you both me and Natsu flush deep red at her remark. "M-mom!/A-aunty!" We both say simultaneously.
Igneel bellows out a laugh as he looks in on what his wife is squealling about. The two of us flush even more when his dad gets in on the teasing fest. "You guys married yet?!" I flush cherry red and Natsu sweat drops bullets. "You know you two have a thing for the other!" Igneel pesters on all while steam is pouring out of my ears and Natsu is close to fainting.
"Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!" his parents cheer on. Natsu and I get so flushed Natsu actually misses a step and we both end up on the floor but I end up flying out of his arms in the process. "Ah!" I yelp as I land on their mini table that holds a flower vase. "Lucy! You alright?" Grandeeny rushes to me as Natsu pulls himself off the floor. "Luce?" Natsu picks me up which makes me flush up once more.
"I-I'm ok." I wince as he sets me on the couch to adress what causes me pain. I just saw that it was just a scratch from the vase. I sigh at Natsu's concern expression as he notices that its just a scrap as well. "Yatta…" he sighs as well letting off a little more relief than I was. What I also notice is that Igneel and Grandeeny aren't in the room anymore and Natsu is sitting close to me than he was a minute ago.
"Natsu…?" my hair hangs around my face framing it but also messily at the same time. He smiles and fixes up my hair so that he can see me clearly without my hair half falling in my face. I blush faintly as he stares at me with his dark eyes. I can't help but stare back at him as he cups my cheek gently with his callouse hand, strangely it was soft at the same time. I look away, mostly from the jolt of warmth I feel coming from his hand.
"Luce." He murmurs almost quietly which is very unlike him. It has a slight urgency in it which makes me look up at him as he presses his lips into my own. I gasp, my eyes widen bright as the boy I've cared about for almost 4 years kisses me. I close my eyes and kiss him back, our lips smacking together almost causing our teeth to bump into the other's. He gives small kisses at first before I run my fingers through his hair, pressing him closer, deepening the kiss further.
A loud squeal and a shock gasp broke us from our kiss as I look up and see My mom and Grandeeny standing far apart one exiting the kitchen and the other with the front door still partically open. My eyes grow into donuts as I see the expression on my mother's face, which was not pretty.
"M-mom?!" I almost start shaking, Natsu can sense my anxiety just from my mom's presence. Natsu makes a sly notion as he gets up and walks towards my mother. "Hello, Aunt Layla." Natsu says briskly almost unkindly. I notice Grandeeny is keeping her mouth shut for she too wants to know why my demon mom is in her house without being welcomed in.
"May I ask, what are you doing here?" Natsu I could tell was giving my mom the stink eye. Ever since I met Natsu, my parents resented him as my friend while his parents welcomed me. In fact they used to be friends with my parents before they became Magnolia's biggest assholes. Although that's just mine and Natsu's family's perspective.
"I've come to collect Lucy. She's needed at home. I have work that needs to be done and her father needs to be looked after." My mother shows no emotion just clear resolve to get my ass home to an even more awful being. Natsu makes a grunt noise that almost sounds like something an ape would make. "She's only needed at home to take care of your husband. You are a wife, your supposed to be taking care of him, not your daughter!" Natsu says the same exact thing my grandma once told Mom. She was never allowed to visit me again after that. I jump up and hurry over to Natsu.
"I-I'll go." I say in a desperate voice. Natsu looks over at me in surprise. Natsu grabs me in his arms before I can make my way to my mom's side which makes the evil witch bletch with disgust. "Your not going with her, Lucy." Natsu's resolve was pure in his eyes as he looks me over.
"She's my daughter, you can't tell her what to do!" Layla screams. Natsu glares at the older blonde with deep hatred. "And your any better?! You tell this poor girl what job she has to do when she graduates, have her take care of your sickly husband and even treat her like a slave. She won't go back to that house as long as I stand here!"
My breath catches in my voice as I see Layla pull a revolver out of her bag. "Natsu! Look out!" Natsu was standing in a clear shot of the gun's path. I push him away as the gun goes off, the bullet slamming into my lower back. "Nrgh." I grunt as I slam onto the floor.
"LUCY!" I hear Natsu scream as I can see that Igneel has Layla in a choke hold while Grandeeny is still fighting the gun weilding blonde. Natsu is in my line of sight and holds my gaze as it goes fuzzy. "Natsu….Don't leave…me…" I mumble as my vision turns black.
"LUCY!" Natsu screams my name one last time or I think it is as I black out, blood slowly coming out of my wound in my back…
End of part 1. Since this story is soooo very long I decided to slipt it in half. The second half will be about her recovery and a few other things. I can't keep going with this part mostly cause I've already hit page freaking 12 and I want to keep the drama and tragedy going. Anyway, Thank you for reading part one, sorry it was sooo long but I hope it ends up a good hit!
