Chapter three: Daddy, will I die?
~Five Years Later~
Hinata's Hospital, Year 2025, June 14, Tide: 10.30am
Natsu sat with his forehead rested against the palms of his hands, tears slowly running down the side of his face. Gathered around him was the Dragneel family's friends, their faces giving away a sad expression. Ichi'ro had his head low, holding his mother hand. Lily on the other hand had her head straight upwards, but tears still rolled down her cheeks. Erza leaned against Gajeel, their fingers intertwined together tightly. And lastly, Lucy sat beside her husband, crying so hard that her eyes were red and itched, shallow sobs came now and then, unlikely her Natsu was silent but everyone could understand that his heart was about to crack into small pieces of dust.
Suddenly the door opened and out came a pink haired old lady with an serious but still relaxed face. "I can assure that your daughter is fine, her lungs is now working normally again" everyone let out a relived sigh, except the parents of the child. "But if this continue…" the pink haired woman lowered her head.
"Ma..ma…?" a small voice came from the door, making both Natsu and Lucy rise up from their seats and walk inside. Outside was silence between them. Porlyusica glanced at them with serious red eyes.
~õ~
Inside together with the Dragneel family, a pink haired girl laid in a bed, tubes and other sort medical instruments insert her body. Natsu held the girl's hand tightly, again he had to see his beloved daughter lay in a hospital bed looking all pale and lifeless.
"Daddy, will I die?" wide eyed the pink haired man stared at her, she is just five and she wouldn't think about death like a ten year old.
"Of course you won't, who said so?"
"I heard you.. And the doctor said like I would.." Amelia looked with her onyx eyes at her father's, tears building up and then slowly running down her cheeks. "I don't wanna die.." sobbing, she clutched her smaller hand in Natsu's bigger one. "Daddy, I don't wanna die.. I want to play with Ichi-kun and Li-chan much more!" she cried. Lucy sat beside her husband, tears had also escaped her eyes and was now running down the side of her face.
"Sweetie, you will play with them much more, I promise." the blonde woman laid her hand on Amelia's hair and stroked it gently. The little girl wanted to flung herself to hug her parents, but felt like her body had got numb and was unmovable. Only her hands could twitch and embrace things.
"I don't want to leave you daddy!" Amelia cried, shallow sobs following after. Lucy and Natsu looked at each other, worry written all over their faces. Something wasn't right with how Amelia was acting.
"I'll go to gramps." he mouthed before raising up from his seat.
"Daddy!" feeling his heart clench painfully he looked at his once little baby. "Don't leave me!" closing his eyes tightly he let go of Amelia's hand and walked out from the room. He heard Lucy try to keep her calm but the cries from the pink haired girl still echoed through the corridor.
"Daddy!"
~õ~
Natsu sat down on a chair so he could face the old man. "Please Makarov.." Makarov closed his eyes while he sighed.
"Natsu, there is nothing I can do.." the pink haired man slowly let his head hung, his hands tightly clasped together. Looking at him, the old man gave him a sad look. Suddenly he jumped down to the floor from his seat on the table.
"Please, there got to be one way to help Amelia!" Natsu looked at Makarov with pleading eyes. Seeing tears start to build up in the young man's eyes, he tapped his staff down on the floor.
"Natsu, I know how much you want her to be safe."
"How can you know that! I want to find a way to keep my only child alive!"
"Have you ever considered to look into her soul?"
.

Natsu stared at Makarov before turning his gaze down to his hands. "I have, but I can't find anything strange.." he whispered. The old man again closed his eyes. He had never seen Natsu act like this, usually the pink haired man was serious and his eyes always had the glint of cleverness to improvise in critical situations, seeing him like this is too look at a slowly fading star.
"Natsu, there is something called the Onmyou, or what we know as Yin and Yang, that may can help Amelia." Natsu snapped his head up, looking at the old man with a glint of hope in his eyes. Makarov glanced over to him. "But, it's more complicated than you think it is." pointing the tip of the staff at the pink haired man. "Are you willing to know it and take the consequences?" Natsu looked at him with an thinking expression, not knowing how to answer that in a complete sentence without making every thing sound to hasty.
"What's the consequences?"
"You will loose your powers."
.
.
"I just want Amelia to be safe and alive." Natsu said, his eyes showing no care about that he will loose his demon powers.
~õ~
Lucy stroked Amelia's, looking at the girl's sleeping face. The door opened and in came Natsu with Gajeel, Ichi'ro and Gray in company. Raising a eyebrow at the number of persons she gave a wry expression.
"Is something wrong?"
"No, well almost." Natsu answered, looking at his daughter sleeping figure, then turning to Lucy he smiled. "Gramps found a way to help Amelia."
"Really?" Lucy raised up from her seat and walked over to him, but as just she had leaved a big 'boom' came from behind her. Screaming she flew into Natsu's arms.
"Finally.." a hiss came from the dusty cloud a shadow slowly started to be visible.
"Amelia!" Natsu shouted, letting Lucy go he dashed forwards but got stopped when a yellow barrier appeared in front of him. "Let my daughter go, you bastard!"
"No, this child will help me, help me to get the great power." the man harsh voice came. Punching at the wall, Natsu tried to breakthrough it, but it couldn't even be a crack.
"Amelia! Can you hear me?" Natsu tried, but the little girl remained still.
"No idea Akuma Tamachii, not even you can break through this barrier." laughing the man started to fade away together with Amelia in his arms.
"Amelia!" now Lucy was beside the pink haired man, her palms pressed against it. "Let our child go!" at that, the man spat.
"You filthy human will die." holding the unconscious girl in one arm, he raised his free and blasted a green light ball at Lucy. "*Doku Imochi!" Lucy's eyes widened in horror.
"Idai Kougeki!"
Cliffhangar! :D End of chapter three ;) you might wonder why I did make a time skip? Well if Amelia would be a baby, the plot would be destroyed and all messed up ;)
