Hello to all readers, Sit tight, things will continue heating up between Lucy and Natsu, It's gunna be great, trust me
Chapter 8: Nightmare
Lucy woke up in the middle of the night shaking and covered with cold sweat. She had been having night terrors since she was asleep on Tenro Island, she dreamt about waking up, and everyone and everything that she loved was gone. Her spirits, her friends, Fairytail, everything. She sat up, panting from the fading fear of her dream, Natsu was asleep with his arm around her. He stirred when she sat up, but he didn't open his eyes. He was cute when he was sleeping, he lost that stupid "fight me" expression that he always wore whenever Gray was in the room. He looked so peaceful. I wonder if he was this peaceful when Igneel was still around. Natsu mumbled something incoherently in his sleep, then he said it again, louder-"Lucy." he must be dreaming. Lucy thought, smiling. The smile didn't last long. Suddenly, his face became a mask of worry, he started mumbling louder. "Lucy? Lucy where are you? Answer me please!" he began trembling and shaking, the fear in his voice made Lucy want to cry. Finally, she could take it no longer, she shook him gently. "Natsu? Natsu, wake up! You're having a nightmare." His eyes shot open, tears began to well up inside them.
"Lucy," he whispered, hugging her close, "don't leave me, never leave me, I lost Igneel, I don't have family, please don't leave me!"
"I'll never leave you Natsu, I promise." She held him close as he cried and they fell asleep in each other's arms.
