Hey guys!
Sorry for the late update, I had a lot of school work and I also had a writting competition. But anyways, here is the new chapter! Hope you enjoy it!
Natsu slowly opened his eyes to find himself in the guild's medical room.
He tilted his head side-to-side to looked around to see Erza, Gray, Wendy, Juvia, Carla and Happy in the room.
'Ah, thank goodness that you finally woke up,' Erza said.
'E-Erza,' Natsu said as he tilted his head at Erza's direction.
A teary Happy flied right by his side.
'Na-Natsu. I'm so glad you're okay!'
'Sheesh you flame brain, it took you long enough to wake up,' Gray sneered.
Natsu, who was still trying to adapt to what is happing, scratched his head. He slowly sat up on the bed while resting his head in one of his hands. His eyes were half opened since he was still half awake. Then, all of a sudden, Natsu opened his eyes wide as pain shot through is head and a memory flashed into his mind. He saw blurry images of a Magical Vehicle, a crash and Lucy. Natsu howled in pain while grabbing his head. He could've pulled all his hair out.
Everyone was surprised at the sudden noise.
'N-Natsu-san! Are you okay?' Wendy asked, shaking her arms everywhere. A look of confusing and worriedness on the little girl.
Natsu loosened his grip and then he remember something very important, Lucy.
'Lucy,' Natsu said. 'W-where's Lucy?' he said with a shaky voice fulled of fear.
There was a dead silence in the room. No one had the courage to answer Natsu's question.
'Well?' Natsu said trembling. 'Where is she?'
Carla, using all her courage, spoke. 'Lucy is,' the female exceed hesitated. 'She's dead.'
Natsu couldn't believe his ears. Lucy's dead?
'We don't know if Lucy-san is dead,' Juvia said. 'Her body was just, never found.'
'Then that means that Lucy might still be alive,' Natsu said, the urge to go search for her. 'I need to go find her.'
Natsu got out of the bed and started walking towards the door.
'Natsu-san.' Wendy said nervously as she took one of Natsu's arm. 'You shouldn't go anywhere yet after only waking up.'
Natsu shook his arm to loosen the grip, but the sky dragon slayer wouldn't let go.
'Let go!' Natsu said in frustration. 'Lucy could still be out there.'
After talking, he continued to walk towards the door. Everyone went to try to stop Natsu from leaving the room.
'Oi, Natsu, calm down.' Gray said.
'Natsu.' Happy said.
'We all feel the same Natsu, but you shouldn't be doing reckless things.' Erza said with a calm face.
'But, but Lucy.' the fire dragon slayer said.
The racket went on, until the door slammed open.
'Shut up brats.'
Everyone in the room went quiet when they saw Master Makarov standing at the door.
'Natsu,' the Master said as he looked at him. 'Stop making trouble when you just woke up.'
'Gramps,' Natsu said, calming down.
'Now stop this nonsense.'
'But we don't know if Lucy if okay!'
'Natsu!' Master Makarov shouted. 'When you were still asleep, we were all looking for Lucy, but she was nowhere to be found.'
'So we're giving up?' Natsu shouted back.
'Just drop the topic for now Natsu!' Makarov said. He looked at the others. 'Let's leave him alone for now. He needs some time to think.'
Everyone left the room, leaving Natsu alone.
'Damn it. How could all of this have happened?'
Every since that day, Natsu had never been the same.
He would never smile and he had lost his carefree, cheerful self. It was beyond worse compared to the Lisanna incident. Everyone would feel a strange aura whenever he was around, no one was used to this Natsu.
Happy had also been down, but the exceed did smile and still had his old personality, he was just a little bit more gloomier than before. Natsu had became a more distant person. He doesn't pick fights with Gray anymore and doesn't show that he's scared when Erza becomes her monster self.
The guild members dealt with this Natsu that they never knew. No one would mention anything about Lucy, knowing that it was now Natsu's taboo word. They all knew that a big part of Fairy Tail was missing and that had torn the pink-haired dragon slayer apart. The guild was never the same.
Before anyone knew it, 6 years had flew by.
