Hey guys! Sorry this took so long but I've been busy at work lately!
Let me know how you like it!
As you all know none of these are mine, Mr. Hiroshima has the pleasure of owning Fairy Tail and its Characters.
-Lucy POV-
"Miss Hearfilia please. Calm down-" "NO, I'm not going to calm down, there's no way in hell I'm going to sit here and listen to this! There's nothing wrong with me!" I'm shaking, I can't believe this. They can't force me to stay here! "Miss Heartfilia I'm sorry, until we know the full problem with your spine and your brain we can't allow you to leave. If something happens to you because you refused to stay and receive proper medical attention, the results could be life-threatening."
"I-I could die?" "Yes ma'am, you could go into cardiac arrest. Please stay and let us help you." My eyes hurt, I've been crying now for a good five, ten minutes. I don't understand... Why is this happening to me? I'm only nineteen! I have so much I've never gotten to experience life... I'm still a virgin for heaven's sake! "Ma'am? Are you alright?" I don't feel right... I'm tense, my body hurts... I can't see. "CODE BLUE! CODE BLUE! I need a doctor here!" My body is twitching, I can't control my body. I can't... make it stop...
I felt the bed jolt as the doctors rushed in, I felt them roll me onto my side and try to hold my arm down long enough to get the needle into the IV. I didn't feel the pinch this time when the medicine went into my body, all I felt was the agonizing pain that was blaring through my skull. "Sedate her! SEDATE HER! If she keeps thrashing like that she'll hurt herself!" Please... Someone make it stop.
I dreamed that I was in the crash again, only this time I was watching it happen. I saw the man behind us speed up and slam into us, I saw Claire hit the brakes as the car spead into the woman in front of us. I saw myself crash into the headrest twice and then the window, I watched my best friend slam into the seat and her neck twist at an unnatural angle... I saw... I saw HIM drive off in someone else's car... That son of a bitch is going to pay, If its the last thing I ever do. I didn't wake up until around midnight the next day, the clock reading 12:42 pm/16th of June. Its summer... I should be home in bed, sleeping under that fluffy pink comforter I love so much. Not here... Oh well. I may as well sleep.
I woke up to a huge ray of sunlight in my eyes, my doctor hovering over me and taking notes about my vital signs. I opened my mouth to speak, and an odd croaking noise came out instead. It got his attention though, he immediately put his notes down and checked me over, smiling at me to make sure I stay calm. "Hello there, you were asleep for quite awhile there. Thirsty?" I nodded and chugged down the glass he gave me, barely even pausing to breathe. "Easy there, don't drink to fast of you'll get the hiccups." He smiled at me, then his face turned grim. "We still have yet to contact your family... Any attempts to contact the estate have been met with hostility and well... hatred." "Thats normal... He doesn't want anything to do with me." "Lucy?"
-Levy POV-
When I woke up, I was in a hospital bed with a breathing mask over my face. My royal blue hair is plastered against my neck and I feel woozy, like I'm on a very heavy drug. I have to fight to keep them open, to keep myself awake. I hear a tiny beep and slowly move my head over to the monitor, apparently it's alerting the nurses that I'm awake. What day is it? How long have I- Oh... Its the sixteenth... I've been asleep for almost a week. Six days... Six days since the IGP Tournament. Why the hell didn't I wake up sooner?
"Ah, hello Miss McGarden. Its good to see the medication finally wore off, we accidentally gave you to much of the anesthetic when you were brought in. We thought you were much heavier in body mass than you actually are, thats our bad. So how are you feeling?" I slowly looked over at him, taking in the glasses and the spiky ginger hair he had. "Tired... Like I've been hit by a train..." "Oh! Well let me hook you up to some painkillers and wean you off the sedative." He went over to my IV bags and took off the near-depleted clear bag, quickly unhooking it and taking it out of the room toward the nurses station.
I sighed and looked over toward the window, looking at the bright sunshiny sky and the quiet buzz of cars in the streets below. I don't know why I'm here, this makes no sense... Honestly I've never been sick like this. I didn't even know I could get sick! A dark shadow caught my eye from the doorway, and when I looked I saw the gleam of silver and the darkest crimson eyes I've ever seen. They held me in place as he stared, the swirling red of his eyes seemed to peer past every wall I'd ever put up around myself, past my insecurities and into my Soul.
Who was this guy? Why was I suddenly so... vulnerable? Like a flash he was gone, yanking me out of my reverie and back to reality. "H-hey! Wait!" Heavy footsteps vanished down the hallways, taking my red-eyed demon with it. Wait, MY red-eyed demon? What in mavis's name am I thinking?! How the hell did my brain come to THAT conclusion? I didn't even know the guy! How the hell can he be mine?!.. "Well... He was kind of... mysterious... and possibly even cuuuu- NONONONONONO Not happening! I am not thinking of ANYONE that could ever possibly be in ANY way attractive!" "Soooo, is this a bad time?" "EEEEEEEEK!"
Two minutes and four blushes later I listened to my doctor laugh and explain that the man I saw wasn't a demon, he was the new janitor. He had long spiky black hair and bright red eyes, along with SEVERAL facial piercings... I can't believe I thought he was attractive! I literally have no idea what he looks like in the light and I'm already thinking about a hunky bad boy with severe issues with authority... Not that that's my kind of guy...
-Natsu POV-
After I left her room in the hospital, I made my way to the Magnolia Courthouse, gramps was a Judge there who often gave kids lenient sentences because he believes that no one deserves life in prison, that their just having a bad day and that a little compassion will set them straight. In most cases he's right, most kids around here just need someone to believe in them and help them get through whatever it is that's going wrong in their lives. But in some cases... He can be as cruel as the sun. I remember he sent a man to death row once, granted the guy had murdered like... eight people but still, for gramps that was pretty harsh. Especially when its his own son.
His grandson Laxus was furious at first, but when he found out his dad was a murderer he eventually came around. Laxus is currently engaged to my god-sister Mirajane, the woman is as sweet as sugar and the perfect girl for him, until you piss her off... Then even gramps runs in terror of her. I spotted the tiny judge exiting his courtroom, a serious expression on his face. "Yo gramps! You got a minute?" "Hm? Oh of course Natsu my boy, whats troubling you?"
"Its about the hospital, what are you plannin' on doing with it?" He looked surprised for a minute, like he'd never expected me to ask. "I'm going to fix it up, the place looks almost ready to collapse. And as far as I know thats the only hospital we've got in Magnolia. Why do you ask?" I stayed quiet for a minute or two, torn between confiding in him, and lying through my teeth. I was worried about Lucy.. She looked to strong, yet... frail at the same time. I had only just met her I know but... I felt like I'd known her for centuries. "Its a woman, isn't it?" "W-what?" "A woman, a creature of the opposite sex. Thats why your concerned isn't it?"
"Y-yeah... Her name's Lucy. She's... Gramps she's beautiful... She's got golden hair and chocolate brown eyes and tanned skin and.. and she's just... I can't even describe her. I feel like putting her into words is disgraceful to her..." "Thats because you love her, the concept of love at first sight is true my boy, and it appears you've found your future bride. When a man truly loves a woman, she becomes impossible to describe to him. She is the sun and the moon to him, no in between. There's no rhyme or reason to it, but it's the god-given truth of things. No one else will be able to compare to her, in your eyes, she's perfect."
I stood there dumbfounded, shocked into silence. He knew. He understood completely, which means... "You loved someone like that too... Didn't you gramps?" He turned somber, like I'd stumbled across a bad topic. Then he guided me towards a bench by the doors, sitting me down before he continued. "My wife, she bore my son Ivan a long time ago. She disappeared almost twenty years ago, I haven't seen or heard from her since. I remember exactly what she looked like, what she sounded and smelled like. I remember the way the sunlight made her light up on the inside, how the moon made her quiet and thoughtful. I remember her eye color and the exact shade of color her hair was. My point is son, if you lose her, or if she leaves, no other woman on earth will be able to mend your broken heart." We sat there in silence for awhile, just thinking about them. Then he smiled, patted my back, and went on his way.
-Gajeel POV-
I went to work early, I wanted to see the woman who had somehow figured out my favorite scent. I wanted to see the girl who had somehow gotten my attention without me ever laying eyes on her. I wanted to see her. The thought feels so strange and foreign to me that it almost makes my brain hurt just thinkin' about it... Mr. Yojima looks surprised to see me here so early, like he expected not to see me for the next eight centuries. "I must say Mr. Redfox, I didn't realize you were such an honest man..."
"What's that supposed to mean...? "Oh nothing nothing, most men I get from mackie usually split town after the first day, they don't like working towards rejoining society I suppose..." "Well, I'd rather not be hunted from here to Crocus." He chuckled at that one and muttered something along the lines of 'right you are', then smiled and handed me my work outfit and the chemicals I needed to lug around.
I was quiet most of the way to the New Patient Ward, but when I rounded the corner again that same smell hit me. Orange blossoms with a hint of coconut, mixed beautifully with the scent of kiwi perfume. I smirked when I found the room it belonged to, quickly ducking my head when the doctor left the room with an empty pack. What was supposed to be in that? Water? Morphine? Something else maybe? I leaned against the doorway in the shadows, careful to make sure she couldn't see my face very well, but I wasn't prepared when her head whipped around and stared right at me.
Wide pecan colored eyes stared at me, her heart-shaped face framed by messy blue waves that stopped just below her shoulders. She was small, but she looked tough. Like the whole world couldn't stop her no matter what it did, like she had this inner strength. I smirked at her, the sharp canines of my teeth looking like fangs. I saw her gasp a little when she noticed them. But the sound of her doctor returning made me turn and disappear down the hallway when she wasn't paying attention. "H-hey! Wait!" I chuckled and listened to her talking to herself about me, not paying attention to the fact the doctor was standing at her door and listening to her.
"Sooo is this a bad time?" "EEEEEEK!" I nearly fell over laughing, she sounded to childish when she screams. Shes so cute. Wait what? Cute? I, Gajeel Redfox, think THAT little pipsqueak is CUTE?! What in the fuck am I thinkin'? She's not even my type! Sure she's good-looking... maybe she has a very nice toned upper body... with perfectly sized boobs... and the kind of eyes that make me want to melt... B-but that doesn't mean I like her! No way, not in a million years! She just happened to be very sexy-looking woman who- FUCK!
So how was it? I want to give a quick shoutout to the two people who took the time to R&R with me, you guys are the best. You have no idea how nerve-wracking this is for me lol.
Its really awesome that you guys believe in me!
Always yours, BlackRose 3 ;)
