Chapter 7

Sorry for not updating for such a long time, but I was busy! (And also on holiday)…. Enjoy the chapter!

Previously

"So now you're some queen huh?" Natsu said and smirked, bowing.

"No! I swear I'm not!"

"Really? And with all that happened?" Erza said.

Normal POV

"I… don't… know..." Lucy said, before drifting out of consciousness, blond hair flowing around her, as she fell to the floor. Natsu jumped forward and caught her.

"I don't know what we're going to do with her..." Levy said, her worried gaze settling on Lucy. She reached for the large book she had earlier been surfing through about the curse. But that was for Natsu. Although Natsu was one of her friends, this was Levy's best friend we are talking about, so lets say she was wizzing though the book, and finding the page she had earlier been reading about. She let out a sigh as she scanned the page.

"There's nothing here about what just happened to Lucy, but I guess you guys should just wait for her to wake- if she does any time soon- while I search the library for clues to why this is happening and what on earth-land is going on." Levy said. She was about to close the door before she stopped and looked at Natsu and Erza moving Lucy into a comfortable position on the bed. Levy closed the door and hurriedly moved through the corridors to the library, not answering any questions from the guild members, obviously worried about their cheery friend.

Erza POV

I looked at Lucy. She didn't seem to look like she was going to be waking up any time soon, she was in a deep sleep. I got up off the cold floor and shuffled over to a nearby red- and comfy looking arm chair. I sat down and returned my gaze to Lucy.

'What is going on?' I thought to myself, rubbing my temple, like I had a headache.

I watched Natsu as he sat on the floor, legs crossed, not looking like her was going anywhere, not leaving Lucy's side. Gray was sat in a corner not saying a word as he watched Natsu- almost confused. Yes, Natsu was very attached to Lucy suddenly, more than he ever was with any of the guild members, even if he did care for them. He wouldn't even move a muscle from where he was sat.

I heard Gray gasp, and I looked over at him. He seemed to be staring at something. I followed his gaze and ended up gasping myself. Natsu was kissing Lucy while holding her hand, tears making their way down his face. He pulled back and looked down at the bed sheets.

He kept muttering: "I'm so sorry… I'm so sorry… I'm so sorry."

"..."

"Natsu..." I began.

"Stop." Natsu said.

"Natsu, please just-"

"I said STOP! It's all my fault she's like this! Leave me alone!" he turned to me, tears rolling down his face, a pleading look painted on his face. He was shaking like mad.

"..."

"Natsu, I promise none of this is your fault..." I said.

"It IS my fault! I should have just died! Now she doesn't even have the energy to stay awake! It's my fault! My fault! Now she's going to hate me, and I know it! Because it's all because of.. because of… that.. kiss… she took a huge amount of power out of me, and.. almost killed herself!"

I moved over to Natsu and put a hand on his head, pulling him in for a hug.

"It's going to be to be all right, promise."

Lucy POV

"Lucy.. Lucy? Lucy wake up!" a sweet, kind voice said.

I opened one eye and examined where I was. I was in a room of… red, but lit with a golden light, almost too pure to be here. There was no one here.

"Am I… Am I in Hell now? Did I die? What's up with today? First I become Queen, and now I die and end up in Hell!"

"No, Lucy. This is the guilds core, spirit. As you can see, the light, the spirit, is being drowned by hurt, sadness. That's what the red means. The light of the guild, is you. You are the light, and right now you need to go back to the world, back to consciousness, to your friends, who are deeply upset right now..." the sweet voice, almost like a child's said.

I felt something tap my bare shoulder and turned around, to see what awaited me. And..

"Go Lucy, go, back to your friends!" the voice said.

It was Mavis, the guild's First Master. A bright, cheery aura surrounded her, her long flowing golden hair bobbing up and down around her. She almost seemed to be glowing. And everything turned black.

Thanks for reading this chapter, and goodbye-!
