SURPRISE! I finished two chapters, in one day! You're welcome! Honestly I was debating whether I should update this today or wait till next week, but I really couldn't wait! Once I finished it I've had the urges to post it and I gave in to that urge! Don't worry though I'll also post a chapter next week! I wont let this double post to affect my schedule!
On a Side Note:
Words in italics - thoughts/ fashbacks
Everyone should know the drill by now! TenshiYuki 21 does not own Fairy Tail or its characters, all rights belongs to Hiro Mashima. The main plot of the story was inspired by Gayle Foreman's If I Stay and a little bit of Where she Went so I will credit them as well so I will not be sued for copyright!
So I hope you'll enjoy this chapter and here is your second dose for the day (hopefully you won't get overdosed .) of Come Back to Me!
Chapter Three: The Accident
Previously on Come Back to Me
I smiled at the memory. Then before I knew it I was making my way towards Natsu's seat. I'm not sure what came over me but I gently lifted Natsu's head and placed it on my lap.
He was shocked by my actions but as soon as we made contact he instantly showed signs of relaxing. I stroked his hair and hummed my mother's melody and Natsu's motion sickness instantly went away.
"Wow Luce how'd you do that?" he asked and I smiled.
"Magic"

When we arrived at Tenia Lake it didn't take us long to find a pair of Trevelises. Two were lounging in the sun and if you looked closer you could see a baby Trevalis between them.
"What luck," Wendy chimed, "we just have to capture a sample of the baby right?"
During the train ride Wendy noticed that we don't have to capture a WHOLE baby Trevelis. In tiny prints it mentioned any sample of the creature would do and in even tinnier prints there was a note that said baby Trevelis's shed the most as they get older.
"We just need to get close enough to chip a portion of its skin!" she clapped and Natsu ran straight towards them.
"Then I'll go get it!" he laughed and Happy trailed after him.
"Natsu wait!" screamed Erza, "the parent Trevelis could wake up and –"
"What?" he yelled back and slammed into what looked like the father Trevelis.
He was slightly bigger than the other Trevelis and had rougher scales. He roared at Natsu and sent him and Happy flying back in our direction.
"I told you to wait you idiot" scolded Erza and smacked him in the head, "now both parents were up."
She was right, the mother Trevelis had awaken and wrapped her tail around her baby.
"Nice job Natsu," said Gray, "you just made our job ten times harder."
Before we could decide what to do next the father Trevelis charged towards us.
"Take cover!" ordered Erza and equipped her sword to stop the Trevelis, "Wendy! Charle! Lucy! Go and try to take the sample from the baby Trevelis! Natsu, Gray and I'll take care of the father."
"Okay" Wendy and I said and ran towards the mother and baby Trevelis as Charle flew ahead to get the mother's attention.
"Here Mrs. Trevelis!" she taunted and managed to get the mother's attention. She moved in front of her child in a defensive form and growled at us.
"We have to get the mother away from her baby" I said and pulled out a golden key, "Open the Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!"
Virgo drilled through the ground and appeared before us, "You called princess?"
"Virgo can you dig a deep hole underneath the mother Trevelis so she'd be preoccupied while Wendy makes her way to the baby."
"Nice thinking Lucy!" Wendy said and Charle returned to carry her while Virgo dug her way underground. A few seconds the mother Trevelis was in a pretty deep hole with her head sticking out and Charle carried Wendy over her.
The mother tried to snap at them but I managed to catch its mouth with my Fleuve d'étoiles, "Gotcha!" I pulled hard with all my might to keep it away from Wendy and Charle.
"You're getting very good with that whip princess" Virgo said and appeared behind me, "would you like to use it to punish me?"
My sweat dropped and I sighed, "No thank you Virgo! You can go back now thanks!" She bowed and went back to the Spirit World.
It took a lot of strength to hold back the mother Trevelis and I didn't know if I could hold unto the mother much longer.
"Wendy! Did you get the sample yet?"
"Almost!" she was trying to catch the baby Trevelis. Apparently during the ruckus it woke up with a lot of energy to play. "Come on little baby Trevelis I won't hurt you!" Wendy tried to grab it, but she tripped on a rock and fell with an "oof".
The baby looked like it was laughing and made its way to the lake. "Wendy!" I said and lost control of the mother, "it's going towards the lake!"
The mother managed to get out of the hole using its powerful hind legs as soon as it was free and followed its child. Soon the father escaped from Natsu, Gray and Erza and the whole family disappeared under the water.
We managed to follow them in the middle of the lake thanks to Gray. We drifted on a large piece of ice and it felt strangely familiar. I started to get a chill down my spine.
"Great job, Ice Princess, you let it get away!" Natsu said and butted heads with Gray.
"I let it get away? Who could barely grab a hold of it?" he countered.
"I could have if it didn't dove underwater!"
"That's why I'm saying I should freeze the lake before we attack it again!"
"And I'm saying that we should just beat it to a pulp so we don't have to waste time!"
"How can you beat it? Your flames can't even touch the Trevelis!"
Wendy and I watched the two clash as Erza pried them apart, "That's enough you two."
Natsu and Gray quickly stiffened and Erza sighed, "Instead of bickering we should find another way to capture the baby to get a sample of it."
She paced back and forth and I kept getting a foreboding feeling as the ground began to shake. Suddenly next to us the two Trevelises emerged.
"Great mom and dad showed up" said Gray, and the three of them managed to fend both of the monsters out.
"I'll look for the baby," Wendy said as Charle picked her up, "these three are always together. If the parents are here the baby won't be far!" Happpy tailed after them and I was going to help too, until I saw the baby Trevelis sneak up behind Natsu.
Suddenly the image of Natsu being impaled played through my mind, I could feel every inch of my body tense and I ran towards him.
The one time I wished Natsu's dragon instincts would fail him it didn't, he turned around to see the monster. "Hey guys! I found the baby!" and as he was about to pick it up I placed myself between him and the baby Trevelis. Then everything went black.
~.~.~.~
I woke up lying on the shores of the lake. I sat up and saw Happy dropping Natsu straight into the lake and my heart dropped.
"Happy!" I yelled, but soon I saw their plan. Natsu bursted into flames and once he made contact with the lake it evaporated.
I was in incredible awe of him, when did he become this powerful? With the water gone the Trevelis had no chance of escape. Erza and Gray subdued the mother and father Trevelis as Wendy caught the baby Trevelis and finally got a sample. She quickly stored it in a large vial and secured it in Happy's bag.
"You guys did it!" I cheered, but I saw they were not celebrating. They quickly ran their way back to the shore, especially Natsu.
He made his way to me and I smiled, "Natsu you were amazing!" I opened my arms to give him a hug but he didn't notice me, he just ran behind me with tears running down his face.
"Natsu what's wrong?" I could see he was holding on to someone.
Wendy appeared next to him and seemed to be using her healing magic. She was crying too.
"Wendy can you save her?" sobbed Natsu.
"I don't have the skill or the right tools here! We have to get her back to the Guild quickly!" she cried, "Grandeeney would know what to do!"
My heart began to race, what was so serious that they needed to go to Porlyusica-san?
"Then come on let's get going!" Gray was crying too, so was Erza.
"Why's everyone crying?" I asked out loud, "who got hurt?" I looked around and saw that everyone was accounted for, "I don't understand, everyone's here!"
No one answered me, "Guys what's wrong guys?!"
I looked over Natsu's shoulders and saw a bundle of golden locks drenched with blood.
I froze and remembered that before I blacked out, I shielded Natsu from the baby Trevelis earlier. The one who was impaled back there, was me.
So guys how was this chapter? Tell me your thoughts on it!
