It was silent in the room, besides the sobs echoing off the walls, no one made a sound. Natsu squeezed her protectively, not knowing what else to do. Lucy pulled away after a little while, looking up at Natsu with panic-stricken eyes.
"Y-your here?! Please, please don't make my leave the guild! I don't want to leave! I need to stay I have no where else to go!" she cried talking quite fast.
"Woah ,woah, woah, Who told you, you had to leave the guild?!" Natsu yelled, his anger rising.
Lucy explained her dream to Natsu between sobs, by the time she was finished, Natsu's face couldn't get any more red. When she was done, he grabbed her shoulders and looked deep into her eyes. His onyx eyes burning with determination, hers brimmed with sadness.
"That's never gonna happen Luce, you are a strong mage, one of the strongest," He said with a serious tone, the most serious he's ever been.
Lucy nodded but the insecurity was still there. She wiped her eyes and looked at Natsu again. He was staring at her, he looked like he wanted to hold her. She gave in. She buried her face in his chest, wrapping her arms around his torso. Natsu obliged and put his arms on her waist, his head rested on Lucy's.
"Thank you Natsu..." Lucy whispered into his scarf.
Natsu smiled brightly at her and helped her stand up.
"Come on, get ready so we can go to the Guild Hall!" He added.
Lucy laughed at his remark, and shooed him out so she could get dressed.
At the Guild hall everything was the same, as it should be.
"Hey Popsicle! Get some clothes on!"
"What did you say Flame Brain?!"
"You heard me, Stripper!"
Lucy walked past the fire and ice duo and took a seat some where far away.
"You finally here Lucy!" Happy yelled.
This grabbed Natsu's attention and he beckoned everyone to a quiet corner.
"What is this about Natsu?" Erza whispered fiercely, she didn't get to finish her cake.
"Lucy had a nightmare..."
"Well, what was it about Pyro?!"
Natsu stuck his tongue out a Grey, and explained Lucy's fears through her nightmare.
"That's horrible!" Wendy said, almost crying herself.
They all nodded in agreement and tried to come up with a strategy to help Lucy get over her fears.
Erza was to ask Lucy to help her train to become stronger, making her feel strong herself.
Grey was to help comfort her, every one could tell she was still shaken up.
Happy and Wendy and Carla were to make her smile, no matter what.
Natsu, Natsu was to talk with the Master.
"Hey, Lucy!" Erza shouted over to the slightly depressed mage. "I was wondering is you wanted to help me train!"
Lucy shook her head. "You might want to find someone a little stronger, I won't be of much help." The plan backfired.
Time to go to the big guns...
