So this is kinda my version of the post-Tartaros time skip. I don't know it's just an idea. I'm going to stick to it.
Also I do NOT own Fairytail. Hiro Mashima does. No copyright intended.
Anyway enjoy.
Lucy's POV
The last thing I remember is pain. Immense pain all over my body.
I find myself in the dark. I can't tell where I am, only that it's dark and judgeing by the sound of my footsteps it's large.
I walk through the darkness looking for anything that could clue me in to where I am and see a light up ahead.
"Hello?" I yell. My voice echoes in the dark. "Hello is anyone there?"
I don't get an answer. The light starts to fade.
I start running towards it. I don't know why but I know that I need to reach that light.
Running with all my might I reach the light only to be stopped by someone.
"Now you don't want to do that. At least not before I get to talk to you."
I had only manged to get a hand into the light.
"Who are you?" I ask. Then I realize I can't see them even with all the light.
"You don't need to know yet."
"Lucy" I hear a faint voice call out to me.
I look around but can't find the source.
"Lucy" It was coming from the light. I stare in awe at it.
"Quite amazing isn't it? Anyway back to why I am here" the person who stopped me continues," I am here to forewarn you about the next year. It will hold many heartaches for you. You will lose the last of your family and loved ones. They will be torn from you and some of them will walk away willingly."
"What do you mean?"
"You will understand soon. But to take your mind off your troubles I will grant you a dream. Can't have you going back just yet."
"Wait!" finally remembering what had happened before I was in the darkness,"Does this have anything to do with my kidnapping?"
"You will understand one day. I must bid you farewell for now."
The voice was fading.
"Wait!"
"We will meet again, Lucy Heartfilia. Goodbye until next time."
Finally the voice fading completely I frantically grasp out for anything before being swallowed in light.
When I wake up again I'm laying in the grass looking at a bright blue sky.
"Hey Lucy!" I sit up and see Natsu running towards me.
I can't help but smile.
"Hi Natsu."
"So this is where you ran off to. "
"It's just so pretty here."
It really was. The bright green grass was dotted with many different flowers. There were a few small trees waving in the soft summer breeze. The meadow was topped with an almost cloudless sky with a few flurries here and there.
"Well we never got to finish our game."
"It only ends if you catch me and you can't. Not as long as you can't use magic." I smirked.
"Oh yeah? Watch me."
Barely dodging him I rolled over and start running.
"Told you that you couldn't catch me Natsu!"I yelled back at him.
"It's only the beginning."
I could hear the smile in his voice.
We ran around like that for a while until I tried to dodge him and failed.
Natsu pounced and we both fell and started rolling down the small hill laughing the whole way.
Coming to a stop at the bottom we were both flushed and breathing hard. Natsu was laying next to me and I was looking at the sky again.
Suddenly he was hovering over me looking deeply into my eyes.
"I love you" he said.
"I love you too."
Then he kissed me in the most tender gentle way that expressed all the emotions that there were no words for.
And in that moment I was happy.
"Lucy"
Confused by the sudden interruption to my dream I tried to open my eyes.
"Lucy"
Opening them all the way I saw Natsu and Gray looking at me with great concern.
"Hey."said Natsu.
"Hi"
My voice was raspy. It felt like talking through cotton balls.
"We're so glad you woke up."Gray said with an unusual thickness in his voice.
"Yeah for a moment there we thought that you wouldn't. It's been so long and your almost completely healed, just some scratches here and there, we were starting to get worried."
"Why would you be worried? It's only been a little while right?"
It only felt like half an hour had passed.
"Luce."
Natsu and Gray looked at each other then back at me.
"It's been two weeks."
As promised a little NaLu fluff. And even a tiny bit of Graylu too.
I'm going to make a Graylu one-shot just because its been floating around in my head for a while. I'm starting to get more ideas not only for this story but for others as well.
Well I hope you enjoyed the chapter :)
