Chapter 2 - A Quiet Sound

She arrived back at her apartment, it was earlier in the day than usual but she had nothing better to do. She made her way into her apartment and instantly realized how quiet it was, it was deafeningly quiet. The only sound there was was the ticking of her clock and her own movements. She made her way over to her desk and pulled out a small decorative book, she opened the book to a blank page, sat down, and began to write:

"April 7th X793,

Things just aren't the same, they haven't been ever since the end of the war 3 months ago. I feel like I just lost a dear friend but I'm not sure why, he's just been acting so different lately, so distant and isolated. There's something he's not telling the rest of us, something he's hiding that he doesn't want anyone to know, a secret he won't even trust his best friend with. Whatever it is it has changed him, he's no longer the same friend I had made all those years ago when I first joined Fairy Tail. I just hope things will go back to normal, and I hope they go back to normal soon."

She didn't have anything else to write, her mind had been flooded with thoughts of Natsu for the past 3 months. She couldn't help but think of him, she was concerned and a little lost, she felt empty. The room was silent yet again as she was lost in her own thoughts of her friend but she was snapped back into consciousness at a different sound that wasn't there before. It was very quiet and soft, but with how silent her room was she could hear it. She looked around the room for the source of the sound and was able to pinpoint that it was coming from her bedroom. She got up from her desk and headed back towards her room, she walked in and cautiously looked around until something caught her eye. On her bed she noticed something small and blue curled up in a tight ball of fur that was the source of light sobbing she heard.

She moved a bit closer, "Happy?" She questioned a bit confused, but she was taken back by the look on his face when he looked up at her. His eyes were watery and a bit red from crying,

"What's wrong?" She suddenly asked, but Happy couldn't stop sobbing. She sat on the bed next to him and cradled him in her arms. He then continued to sob in her chest as she rubbed his head gently trying to calm him down, "What happened Happy?" She asked again softly.

He was still sobbing a bit but managed to mumble a word or rather a name, "N...Natsu" was what she heard even though his voice was muffled. Her eyes widened at the mention of his name and her heart began to race, "W-what happened with him?" She asked though she wasn't sure if she wanted to know.

"I don't know..." Happy squeaked out.

"What do you mean?"

He stopped sobbing and looked at her for a minute, there was terror in his eyes, "I don't know how to describe it." Before she could say anything else he was out of her arms and partway out the window,

"I need to show you."

"Huh?"

Tears still ran down Happy's face,

"Please, I think Natsu is in trouble."

And here's chapter 2, finally. Sorry it took so long to post but I gave fair warning when I started. Anyways I know it's still short but I started trying to make them longer, plus I tried organizing this one differently. Any helpful feedback would be appreciated! Thank you!
