"Natsu?" Lucy's voice pierced through the darkness. I groaned and looked around. No one. Just dark. Please don't be another dream.
"Lucy? Is that you?" The blond hair popped up out of nowhere. She was running. Running towards me but it looked like she was running away from someone. As she neared I could finally see her eyes. They weren't brown anymore. They shown bright gold in the dark. I took in a sharp breath as she barreled towards me. She wasn't scared or running from something. She was running full speed because she was mad. Pissed by the looks of it.
"Aghhhh!" She leapt through the darkness and raised her fist. Gold light swirled around it and started to come together in the center of her knuckles. I took a step back and stumbled on something. Glancing over my shoulder, I made out what the object was. A small blue mass laid there, unmoving.
"Happy…" I muttered right as Lucy's punch hit. The power was immensely strong. Stronger than what she had before. But it would take more than that to defeat me. I grabbed her wrist before she pulled away and threw her to the ground.
"Who are you and what have you done with Lucy?" She smiled.
"I am Lucy. Just not your Lucy." Her voice screeched. She took a deep breath in. "Celestial Dragon…"
"Fire Dragon…"
"Roar!" Our voices said in harmony. At close range, especially this close, this wasn't going to turn out good. But I wasn't going to get killed.
A blinding flash of light shown across my vision. Then, nothing. I looked around once more to see if I could find the blond hair but she was gone. A sharp pang erupted in my chest. Loneliness. I was completely alone once again. What was going on?
"Come save me." Lucy's voice rang through the dark. And then it all ended. My vision went back to black.
The dream changed. I was looking down from the sky with the world ablaze. I could see the guild building, in a pile of rubble. The symbol shattered to pieces. I saw the river, once running a blue but now a deep scarlet. Blood. Lots of it. It drenched everything. I hovered lower and saw it. Zeref and Achnologia standing on top of a small pile of rubble, laughing.
"Well that was easy. I honestly though they would put up more of a fight." Zeref chuckled. His mouth spread into a wicked grin as he looked towards the horizon. Flashes of gold light appeared. Lucy. She was their weapon. Not just any weapon, but a weapon for mass destruction.
They were planning to destroy the world with her. Everything went black once more.
I awoke in a sweat. Sitting up in bed, I remembered my dreams.
"Come save me." Did Lucy really want to be saved? Or was this all a trick to get us to come and fight. Both seemed like reasonable options after this last little encounter. The second dream was even worse. Everything was gone. In a pile of ruble, drenched in blood.
I swallowed. The fact that they were planning on using Lucy as a weapon scared me. And the fact that her new magic was equally as powerful as Achnologia's (and we know how that works). They needed to be stopped. But how? The only way I could think of is to get Lucy's memories back. I guess that's easier said then done. Nothing is impossible though. At least not for us. I will make her remember me.
We kept walking through the forest/jungle (don't know what to call it anymore) until the sun started to rise. The scent of Lucy was very strong but it felt like they were leading us in circles. The trees started to blur together.
"Aren't we going in circles?" Asked Lisanna. I rolled my eyes and shook my head. I knew we weren't going in circles but in a way she may have been right.
"I don't think so. I can still smell her scent everywhere but it doesn't seem to be leading us astray." Watch me be wrong. I lit a small fire on one of my fingers and ran it across one of the trees, scarring the bark.
We kept walking now in single file. I was leading, then Grey, Erza, Happy, and Lisanna. I wish Wendy and Carla had come with us.
"Isn't that the burnt tree?" Grey grunted. I looked at the tree. Oh no. Maybe we were walking in circles.
"Ha you are quite idiotic, aren't you." A voice said. I turned on my heel to face it. There he was, dressed in his usual attire. Zeref stood on one of the tree branches and was smiling. This wasn't going to be good.
Sorry this is a little short. I had trouble writing the chapter from Natsu's perspective today. Tomorrow's will be written from Lucy's to even it all out. How was it?
