Hey everyone, Bronze here and honestly kind of surprised I'm doing this. It has been requested that I continue this story or well in this story's terms write what led up to the concluding events. So here we are. Yes, I know the characters are OOC but do I care? Nope. Don't enjoy don't read simple as that. This chapter will be shorter than the rest as it will mainly set the stage for the rest of the story.

"Damn it," I shouted as I walked down a street I didn't know the name of. I wouldn't say I was lost I was just suppressing my surroundings. I was in pain as he had hurt me that morning. I was scared that life was repeating itself once more. I felt the tears welt up in my eyes as the world around me became blurred. He was the same as everyone else, he didn't care about my feelings at all I'm just some weak girl in his mind.
Punching my own leg, I looked to the sky wanting to shout at the top of my lungs, 'Why me?" Why is it always me?' The pain of the punch was nothing in comparison to the pain I felt from his betrayal. I continued to walk down the nameless street in hopes of forgetting about him. In hopes that the weak winter wind would blow the pain away. I knew this to be a fruitless wish it would take a tornado to take away the pain I felt that night.
A strong gust blew by me as I was brought out of my musings. The wind felt cold against my unprotected skin. I hoped maybe it may freeze my soul releasing me from this pain but alas it did not. I had not grabbed a jacket before I dashed out of the house and as the winter wind continued to pick up I thought back to him. I thought about his warmth and how I wanted on this cold night to be in his arms. He had made me feel safe made me forget about the pain, only for him to now be the cause of the pain reoccurring.
I blew into my cupped hands hoping to in some way warm up my body. How long had I been out here? How far have I drifted away from where I started? I no longer knew the answer these questions. My body was leading the way as I tried to clear my thoughts and pain. I brought out of my thoughts once more as I felt something extremely cold land on my already reddened nose. It had begun snowing as the wind continued to pick up. The calm winter night was quickly turning into a snowstorm.
The coldness of the snow mixed with the howling nights that overwhelmed my hearing was all that existed. I couldn't make out my surroundings even after I had wiped the tears from my eyes. 'I should probably start to head back' I thought, the problem was I didn't know from which had I traveled from. I tried to make out landmarks of my surroundings but found none I felt locked in my own little world unable to see more than two steps in front of me from the ever increasing snowstorm that I was completely unprepared for.
Turning in place I began to run. I run as fast as my legs would take me that night in hopes of seeing something I would remember. In hopes that maybe I wouldn't spend the night lost in the snow. I reached into my pockets in hopes of finding my phone but quickly remembered I had left it home. I continued to run for an unknown amount of time still in search of where I was or even where I was headed.
Finally, I had seen it, a landmark to where I knew where I was. I made a turn and was standing in front of a park. Memories of him and myself flashed through my mind. It had been here that he had first kissed me. A night I would have loved to remember in happiness, but that now would never happen. That night and memory would now only cause the pain in my heart to only sharpen. As the memory faded from my mind I once again felt the strong sense of coldness that could probably now freeze my soul if I allowed it.
I started to run once more except this time I knew where I was going. I was no longer running aimlessly through the storm in hopes of finding my way. This feeling did not last long though as saw bright lights appear from my side. The world froze in that moment everything around me stopped. The snow stopped falling and the wind stopped howling everything had stopped. This was the end I had thought. This was my final moment, and during it, I couldn't help but feel betrayed once more except this time by fate.
The world had gotten me lost this night making me feel unbearable pain and when I finally find my way it only makes me experience more pain. I just couldn't die at peace, could I? I had to die with a strong sense of pain through my whole body. I had to die filled with regret for the world just wouldn't allow me to experience happiness. Maybe I should just accept it in my final moments. Just accept that I was doomed to feeling endless amounts of pain.
I closed my eyes the world around me having started to move again. The bright lights grew closer and the wind grew louder. 'This is it' I thought my final moment of life. Just moments before now I remember what I use to consider the greatest moment of my life now I experiencing my worst. I just wanted it to be over for the lights to finally finish moving through the snow and end this all. That's when over the howling wind and equally the loud car I heard a voice a voice I wished to forget. It was shouting my name at what I assumed to be the top of his lungs. I felt tears grow in my still tight shut eyes.
"Why?" I shouted back. "Why did you of all people have to be the one to find me tonight?" My voice was weak after the initial shout the second string of words not being spoken over a whisper. I heard the honk of the car but I was unable to move, my body unwilling to get out of the way. I felt it connect with me the feeling of the car ramming into me. I wasn't dead though as I heard the car screech to stop and the familiar voice grow louder and closer.
As I weakly opened my eyes I made out a blur of pink through the world of white. I wanted to reach my arm out to the blur of pink but my body was unwilling. I didn't care if that head of pink hair was the cause of my pain that night. My body yearned for his teach as it always made me feel safe and protected. I opened my lips but no words escaped them for even if one did it was only his name –Natsu.
As his name went through my mind my eyes closed unable to stay open any longer. 'Why did you come running after me?' Was my finally thought before I felt the overwhelming pain take over.
I guess I would call this the true chapter one or the Prologue. Hope this lived up to your expectations and till next time Bronze.
