I could hear Erza's voice as I opened my eyes. I looked at over at her and her face lit up.
"Lucy! Thank god you're okay! I didn't think that you would ever wake up." I could see the pain in her face as she said those words, like she was hiding something. I briefly wondered why Erza was here, then looked around and realized that I was in a room that we used as a closet in Fairy tale.
"What happened?" I asked sitting up, my head no longer pounded, and my wounds didn't bleed, it only felt like someone ran over my body with a boulder.
"Let's not worry about that right now okay? I'm just happy that you're okay." Erza's voice trailed off. I remembered the previous events, and I felt my heart crack as I remember how Natsu looked.
"Erza," I stated in a short demanding tone "Where is Natsu?" I say her eyes fill with tears and her head look away. She refrained from meeting my eyes and sat there in silence. I could feel my heart sink in an abyss. "Erza," I said in a tone that even scared me. She looked up at me with a startled expression. "Where is Natsu?" She looked up and I saw her eyes blood shot and her hands were shaking. I have never seen Erza, the legendary Titania, this frazzled. Even in the Jellal incident.
"He, he," Erza stammered, something else she never did. I could see the tears freely streaming down her cheeks and she swallowed hard. "He's not going to make it." She stated it very short and matter of fact. Like there was no changing the reality that was in front of us.
"What are you talking about? Erza what happened?" I screamed as I tried getting up, but my body was filled with almost unbearable pain and I fell back onto the bed.
"Lucy! Don't push it!" I didn't move anymore. I felt if I moved any more than Erza would fall apart at the seams. "I-" She stammered again, causing my mind to whirl even more. "I can't lose you both. Just get some sleep Lucy."
I buried my face in the soft pillow and cried myself to sleep, Natsu's voice playing in my head over and over.
