Hi everyone! Sooooo sorry that I haven't updated in a while, I swear I'll try to be better from now on. Thank you for your patience, and as always, please review and fave! Also, so sorry but I can't do a fight scene with Sting yet because it hasn't been revealed what sort of dragon slayer he is yet :'(
Natsu POV
When I saw Lucy's hand, a wave of emotions hit me. Anger, betrayal, frustration, but mostly sorrow. She called Fairy Tail traitorous. She said she wasn't part of this guild anymore. How could I let this happen? I had to get her back no matter what. Fairy Tail loves her too much. I love her too much. "Lucy, I understand that you may be mad at me, but-" I cut off at the sound of Lucy scoffing. Something she never did.
"I may be mad at you? May be? Natsu, you idiot! Do you even understand what you did? You tore my heart out, ripped it to shreds then stomped on it like it was nothing! You betrayed my trust, crushed my hopes and thought I'd be alright with it. But while you may think that, know this: I will never forgive you." Those words made my blood run cold. How could she say that? Rushing forward, I gripped her shoulders. She was surprised by my sudden movement.
"Don't say that Lucy! You love Fairy Tail! I know you do! We want you back Lucy, if you're angry than don't do it for me, do it for Gray, Erza, Levy! Do it for the people you love!"
Lucy POV
After hearing Natsu, my resolve weakened a bit. My eyes filled with tears as I remembered my friends. "L-Levy-chan." I muttered, remembering my blue-haired friend. She was the one who told me about Natsu in the first place. "Erza-san." I smiled slightly as I remembered the cake-loving woman. Though she was a formidable opponent, she had been a great friend. "Gray-san." I actually managed to chuckle as I remembered the said boy. He'd always been stripping and forgetting where he'd left his clothes. Natsu's eyes softened as he heard me say those names, and he hugged me.
"That's right Lulu, come back. Everyone's waiting for you." With those words, any resolve I had left crumbled. I knew that I would miss Fairy Tail. I couldn't leave them, could I?
Sting POV
My eyes narrowed as I watched Pinky hug the Lucy girl. This wasn't what I wanted. That idiot had hurt the girl so bad and yet he thought he could just take her back? Not on my watch. I marched over to them and yanked Blondie from his grasp. Her eyes widened in surprise and I inwardly chuckled; she'd probably forgotten all about me. I looked at her. "What are you doing? Did you forget about our promise?" I specifically used the word 'promise' as I knew such things were very important to celestial mages. Her face showed guilt and indecision. I knew I'd be able to bring her back onto my side. "Your guild betrayed you, remember? This guy broke your heart." I grinned as a sudden thought struck me. "Instead, why don't you come to my guild. Sabertooth is incredibly strong and no one would hurt you like they did. I'd make sure of that." I saw her contemplating my offer and smirked widely. I knew I had her. "Come on, you could have a fresh start. Even if you did go back to Fairy Tail, it wouldn't be the same. You'd forever be remembered as the little girl that would easily betray her guild. Do you really want that?"
Lucy POV
Sting was right I realized. If I went back to Fairy Tail, it wouldn't be the same. They'd hurt me and yet they'd see my departure as a sign of weakness. Turning to Natsu, I told him my decision. "Fairy Tail hurt me and left me scarred. You hurt me and left me scarred. This is goodbye, Natsu." With those words I stepped back towards Sting. He offered me his arm and I took it, biting my lip. I was startled when I heard a cry from behind me.
"Lucy, I won't let you leave! You can't join Sabertooth! Please!" Hearing the desperation in his voice, I paused, not wanting to hurt him. Sting glanced at me ten tugged on my arm, pulling me forward. Suddenly, his arm was ripped away from me. Natsu was standing there, murder in his eyes.
"You!" He yelled, stabbing a finger at Sting's form. "You made her think this! Leave her alone! She is a Fairy Tail mage and you can't change that!" Sting stared up at him, a slightly bored expression on his face.
"She made her own choice. I just helped her make the right one." With a roar, Natsu launched himself at Sting. I stared in horror, I would not let this happen.
"Gate of the bull, I open thee. Taurus!" I'd reacted quickly, and Taurus appeared, stopping Natsu mid-punch. "Natsu, stop! Why can't you understand? I'm not a part of Fairy Tail. If you continue like this then someone's going to get hurt." I turned and marched away, leaving Natsu to just sit there and look like an idiot. My vision was blurred with tears and my chest hurt so much, but I didn't look back. I wouldn't be able to face Natsu's look of betrayal that I knew was there.
Natsu POV
I stared after Lucy, feeling numb. She'd just left me, and she wasn't even looking back. How could I let this happen? Why had I let this happen? As the numbness faded, I ran into the forest that bordered this field. I ran so deep that I eventually ran out of breath, then I screamed. I slashed at everything I could, burning and damaging all of the surrounding trees. Tears rushed down my cheeks in mighty rivers, but I didn't care. Lucy was gone. Lucy was gone. Punching another tree, I screamed and cried until eventually I was leaning on the tree for support. All I could do was sink to my knees and sob.
xXx
It was dark. Night had already fallen. With a jolt I sat up and rubbed ,my stiff neck. Yawning, I stretched then staggered to my feet. Glancing around, I took in the damaged area with surprise. Had I done this? Oh yeah, it was me. My mood instantly darkened as I remembered the reason I'd demolished this part of the woods. Sabertooth. They'd stolen Lucy away from me. They'd taken her, and now they'd pay. I swore it to myself, for no one takes my friend, my lover, and gets away with it. They'd better watch their back, because I'd be back. And next time, I would bring Lucy home to Fairy Tail. Home to me.
Awww, broken-hearted Natsu :'( This chapter was sad, but at least it's finally here. Once again, I'm really sorry for the late update. Remember to review and fave, thanks!
