Hey guys! XD Sorry for not double updating. Apparently, more works were assigned for me in school~! So yes, I have no choice but to leave the story. So maybe, I can double update today. Depends. Okay, here is the long awaited chapter~

Chapter 2: Bumping Into Sabertooth 'Twins' And Guilt

Date: 1st July (Lucy's Birthday)

Lucy sighed. She was bored. She was walking to the guild. Usually, it took about fifteen minutes to walk there but today, she felt like it has been more than that. Every step she took seems heavy and long to her. Would Master accept me doing that decision? I hope so... If not, my life would be more than hell! I'm certainly sure... he would accept right? After all-

She fell to her butt. She winced slightly as she stood slowly, dusting off the dirt on her clothes.

"Tch, watch out next time, you damn- Oh, who do we have here...? Isn't it the Fairy WEAKEST weakling...?"

Lucy groaned. Not him! She rolled her eyeballs and jabbed him in the arm.

"Shut up, oh, the so mighty great Sting!" Lucy said in sarcasm as she rolled her eyeballs once more.

Sting clenched his fist and he seriously felt like punching her or something like that but no! He was a REAL man! Damn annoying blonde bitch! Just die you-

"Sting," came a stoic and monotone voice.

"Ah, Rogue. Just... GREAT," Lucy said before continuing, "Now if you please-"

"Where were you all these time?" Rogue asked Sting.

Lucy face-palmed. She had expected Rogue to get Sting's face out of her sight but no. Here he was, asking him some stupid and random question and Sting... Lucy felt like dying. Damn you, Rogue Cheney! And to think that YOU would understand what I meant! And also damn you, Sting Eluciffe! (I don't know the spelling!) JUST DIE BOTH OF YOU!

"Oh, Lucy is here...? Sorry to interrupt your date, Sting. You didn't tell me about this. Don't blame me. Now, back to your... ahem."

Sting arched an eyebrow, "What the hell, Rogue? You think this weak Fairy is my girl? Nu-uh-uh! I have much better taste than that. Even though I hate to admit, she's flawless, beautiful and her boobs-" Sting was punched at his sides.

One from Rogue, another from Lucy.c

"No need to continue, Sting," they said in unison.

"Anyway, happy birthday Lucy," Rogue continued.

Lucy was beyond shock and touched.

"How-"

Before she could even continue, they left. Left her there, shocked and touched.

"Thank you... Rogue," she whispered, assured that the wind will carry her words and send it to Rogue.

-In the FT guild-

The atmosphere was gloomy even though the guild was filled with colorful decorations and balloons. It was also tense. The most emitting the 'aura' was Natsu. After all, he hurt Lucy. His mind was filled with Lucy. Will she hate him for it? Will she forgive him? All that answers would be answered by her. He should have not ignored her and interacted with her. If he did that, maybe everything would be perfect and normal.

"NATSU~!" a cheery voice sounded in the guild.

He looked up, hoping it was HER. But no. It was Lisanna, not her. Lisanna ran to Natsu and gave him a bear hug. Natsu can't help but feel...

DISCOMFORT. DISTRUST. UNWORTHY. EVIL PYSCHO BITCH.

He shook the thought. How could I think of that? Is it since that incident...?

He bit his lips. "It is all your fault... Lisanna."

=FLASHBACK=

28 June

Natsu was busy eating his fire-chicken dish from Mira when the guild's door banged opened. It revealed a very sad and broken Lucy. Her expression was filled with ANGER, HATE, SADNESS and lastly... LONELINESS. Natsu stood and strode up towards her. At that point of time, he saw a glint of happiness and her expression changed. She held a smile, a big smile. Just as he wanted to hug her and ask her what was wrong even though he knew why, Lisanna interrupted the moment by pushing Lucy and hugged him. Gasp filled the guild. Lucy's head hit the wall. Blood. Blood stained her blonde hair.

"She have to go away from you, Natsu~ It's for the birthday plan... right?"

He couldn't help but he hesitantly nodded. But, wasn't that too far. He felt more discomfort and annoyed. He felt like Lisanna was trying to destroy Lucy and he hated that.

"You're... horrible, Lisanna," he whispered.

Lisanna giggled in response. She shrugged and pulled away from Natsu only to kiss him on the lips. Natsu's eyes widened. Lucy stood up, clutching her head. But once she saw that, tears cascaded down her rosy cheeks before she run away. Chase. He pushed Lisanna abruptly and chased after her but Lisanna stopped him. She held a big 'sad' smile and said,

"Natsu... for her, no. We need to give her a surprise, right...? After all... you're... mine."

"Pardon...?"

"Nothing!"

Lisanna sent him a chill down his spine when she gave him a creepy smile. He gave a hesitant nod.

"How reluctant of you, Natsu! You should-"

"I get it," Natsu replied as he shooed Lisanna away. Lisanna let out a grunt and walked away.

=ENDED=

"Aw, Natsu, it's all for today. I hope it goes 'smoothly'. Haha," she said in sarcasm.

Natsu sent her a glare before walking away. Everything won't be smooth. Lucy. Lucy. Lucy. Tears blurred his vision. And on the cue, Lucy appeared in front of him. She opened her arms wide while mouthing 'Come here, Natsu'. He smiled and wiped his tears. When he looked up, she was gone. Out of his sight. He clenched his fist. If only... If only he could turn back in time.

"I'm so sorry, Lucy."

Ta-da. It feels like I had made Lucy died somehow... Haha, it's just guilt. Kay, see you on the next chapter!
