A/N: So slightly gory I guess you might call it so watch out! um yeah, weak stomachs may not like it as much. Sorry, Enjoy! You have been warned!
In Lucy's dreams
I am floating around in darkness. I can't feel a thing, which is a relief after the past few days, believe me. I have no clue where I am or what I am doing here. Suddenly a bright white light shines in front of me and...
Mavis appears, glowing bright in the darkness. "Lucy, I know the pain you are going through, I know it is not easy to bare, but you must for a little while longer. Someone unexpected is coming to heal you. When they come do not push them away, they are your only hope. This method has worked before and it shall again."
"But who is coming" I ask curiously. To this Mavis simply shakes her head.
"All in good time, dear. When he comes take his hand and tell him this 'The meadow beyond the rocks is greener than green and the tree grows taller than the clouds, fairy dust floats in the air. Here I will wait for you.' tell him this and he will be sure to help you no matter what."
"Wait, what?!" I say her short verse is already foggy in my memory. What does that even mean?
"Goodbye for now, dear child." Says Mavis as she smiles sadly at me and fades away.
Lucy's POV
As soon as Mavis fades away I jolt awake. When you have this disease jolting of any kind isn't best. I now have a swirling headache and my stomach feels like mush. I push on the spot of my stomach that hurts the most profusely and as I do I feel something wet and sticky saturate my clothes and get on my hand. i lift up my hand to look at it and see it is covered in red as are my pajamas.
The blood spreads on my pajama top and drips off my hand. What on Earthland is happening?! I only pressed lightly on my stomach! I am starting to panic and that is when I start coughing. I hold my hand that isn't already covered in blood to cover my mouth but it is too late, the bed is already splattered with blood from the first few coughs. I can't stop coughing nor can I stanch the bleeding from my stomach. All i can think is that I am going to bleed out and die right here and now.
All of a sudden Virgo and Loki are there. My panic lessens even though the bleeding doesn't and my panic induced coughing slows and comes to a stop. Virgo starts to tend to my stomach gingerly as if she were touching someone made of glass and paper. Loki goes to get new sheets and pajamas.
After my stomach is bandaged Virgo finally speaks, "I know you must be in a great amount of pain Hime, but I must ask you not to apply pressure to your abdominal area. It is very sensitive underneath the skin and your skin is paper thin in that area."
"Okay" I reply. I don't really have the energy to talk, after that episode and all.
"You should sleep." Loki tells me as he comes to help me lay down. From this statement I realize that it is the middle of the night.
As I drift off to sleep with my spirits beside me I think about what Mavis said. Her words are clear, yet unclear, but I know they will come to me when I need them. I just hope she is right about the other stuff.
Natsu's POV
After I hung up on Lucy I go to talk to Yuudai.
"She got worse Yuudai. There is no telling when she could die. When is your son going to get here?" I ask. We have been in these caves for a few days and honestly I am getting stir-crazy. Plus I just found out that Lucy worsened {You don't even know child.} I just can't stand sitting here doing nothing!
"He will get here soon enough. Do not worry." Yuudai attempts to calm me.
"Whatever. I'm going to just go sleep." I huff out, Yuudai just nods. Sleep that will make time pass and take my mind of this, hopefully. Let's just say you can't choose your dreams, or nightmares.
After lying on this lumpy cot for what seems like forever my thoughts finally fade to black.
In Natsu's dream
I am floating in darkness. It is weird, although I am totally and utterly alone I can't shake the feeling of someone watching me. My mind is starting to turn to thoughts of Lucy's condition when a small light appears and grows bigger and closer.
Mavis appears and starts to speak to me. "Natsu, have patience. The healer's son is coming. He should be here by tomorrow. You must trust this man, no matter what. You have crossed-paths before and you may not have gotten the best first-impression. You must trust me, he is Lucy's only hope to survive, when he comes go straight to Magnolia. He will take it from there."
"Who is it though?" I ask. I am immediately shushed.
"You will find out tomorrow." she says, a slight smile dancing on her lips. "Goodbye for now, Natsu."
Then i am back in darkness until the dream fades and I am allowed a peaceful nap.
Far away over some hills
A dark haired mage slumbers, his back against a tree. The wind rustles his hair ever so slightly. He looks to be at peace, but quite to the contrary. Inside he is a swirling, tangled mess of magic power. For so long has he been this way that one can no longer tell where the man ends and the magic starts. It has consumed him and it does not intend to let go of him anytime soon, unless it is wrenched from his body, but then he still would not be free. His body may no longer be held by the iron-grip of the magic, but it would be released from the grip of his soul also. This is the secret to his longevity, he cannot die no matter how much he might desire the peace that comes with death, the magic will not allow it.
Yet he dreams, but not unlike his inside it is dark, cold, and lonely. Nothing is there just darkness.
Within the strangers dream
I am alone in darkness. There is absolutely no trance of anything else here, until a light appears in front of me and what seems to be a young girl speaks to me.
"Go to your home. Go to your home and find your father holding in his grasps, that which you have searched high and low for all these years." she riddles to me. Yet I am not confused, for I know what I want and have been searching for. As she fades away I awaken and set out for home.
