I was scared. Scared of what would happen next. Scared of what the guild will do with me now after I spilled the information. I had to leave but to where?
There was no where that I could go. No family to go too, no friends that wouldn't kill me. Maybe travel out of the country, away from everything. It had to have been done.
"What would you do, Plue?" I looked at the little snowman to my left. He shakes his head and walked over to the window. At first glance, it seemed as the world was weeping with me. Large drops of rain falling from the sky as it did on my cheeks, moistening the ground below.
Taking a deep breath in, I started to pack. Throwing clothes in left and right, not gathering anything specific to wear. I was prepared to go anywhere that I had too. After packing clothing, I gathered some little things to remind me that I was still human. A box of letter to my mom, a watch from my father, a picture of the guild when I joined. When I saw this, a new rack of tears streaked down my face. I cried into the picture, getting it soggy.
I could almost hear everyone welcoming me when I first joined, smiles lighting up their faces, joy in their voices. Everyone was so kind then. Not anymore. Their smiles would have been turned into frowns. I shivered, thinking of what Levy would do (she was not Levi-chan anymore) if she saw me now.
What had the world become now? It seemed to be falling apart at my fingertips. Everything was melting away, leaving me with nothing to live with. "Looks like we are on our own for now Plue." I grabbed my bags and headed for the door. Taking one last look at my apartment, memories flooded back from the first time I stepped in here. Now, it will be my last. I had to move forward to a new life where I could change.
Plue bobbed his head up and down as he walked down the stairs. The footsteps echoed around the stairwell, creating a scary sound. Once we reached the door, I took a deep breath and opened it. The first few steps were heart breaking. I could actually feel my heart breaking into two. I pushed myself past this feeling and continued to walk. After a while, my apartment was out of sight but as I looked back, I saw a blue blur fly by my window. Happy. That means Natsu was near.
I ran. Knowing Natsu, he would be on my scent soon. That was not good. "Luce! Where are you!" No. There was no way that he could have caught up to me that quickly. I pushed my self to run faster. Faster and faster until it felt as though my lungs would burst. My bag was bouncing along with me, jolting with each step.
His voice faded away after several minutes of running. I kept pushing myself, gathering a greater distance away from him. At this point, Plue had already gone back to the Spirit World. His short little legs couldn't run that fast, and I understood.
I had made my decision. I will never turn back now. Not with so much at stake.
