Chapter : New Page?
"That's it right? She's gone.. Just like that." Natsu mumbled.
After reading all the pages of her last week alive, the Diary suddenly emitted light. Blue light. Erza, Natsu and Gray's eyes widened, reflecting the light on their eyes. They opened the Diary once more and checked to see what happened.
"Wha!? A-A new page?" Erza said.
"How could that... Anyway, let's read it." Gray said. They all breathed deeply and started to read it.
You have read this diary, yet you have not found what you seek for. But because of reading this, I shall show you the answer. . .
"Look back to your last days..
Read it once more...
Read but say not what you don't know,
But I tell you, read it back..."
For a second, the words were there, but suddenly, a light emitted again then the words were gone. The three mages looked at each other then stayed silent. Erza looked for a pen and paper then wrote down what she remembered.
"Look back to your last days.. Does it mean we should read it again?" Erza said.
"Maybe.. It says Read it once more." Natsu said.
"But, what about read not what you don't know?" Gray asked.
"Hmm.. Read but say not what you don't know.. Let's get some help with this. We don't know what might happen if we don't follow.. Gray, call Levy. We'll wait here." Erza said. He nodded then headed out immediately.
"Natsu.." She called.
"Yeah?"
"You're such a jerk." She said, punching his shoulder lightly.
"Why?" Natsu scratched his head.
"why didn't you tell her those words?" Natsu's face turned sad again.
"I don't know.. I feel.. It feels like I'm not yet ready to tell her. But now I am, but it's too late.." He mumbled.
"And why didn't you go and help her when she fell down?" She continued.
"I didn't see her That time.."
"Baka... Know what? I never knew that you had that dark side in you.. You were very.. Very much like the whole opposite of you." She smiled faintly.
"I didn't know too.. But I felt that way.. Like I just wanted to scream until I can't.. It's just too painful.."
"Did you think about what you did? you ignored her too much, Natsu.." erza added. Natsu just sighed and didn't have anything to say about it. he regretted it so much.. Silence fell. After a few minutes, Gray returned with Levy.
"Levy, we need your help. Please read this. Tell us what you understand." Erza handed out the diary to her.
"Lu-chan's.. Diary?" She took out the paper where erza wrote the phrases. after reading it for a few times, she turned to them.
"Have you read the diary?" She asked.
"Yeah. We read it starting from the time she got bitten in out mission. It was a week before her death. After, that message appeared." Natsu said. Levy sighed then explained what she knows.
"Hmm.. While reading, were you saying them out loud?"
"Well, yes.." Erza answered.
"If I'm right, I think it wants you to read her whole week's diary again. By the phrase 'read but say not what you don't know,', I think it says that if you come across a word, or anything that you don't understand, don't read it aloud. Seems like there's a spell or curse in there. Like what happened when you guys exchanged bodies after Natsu read words out loud. Lastly, read it back.. i'm not sure about this but maybe it means backwards. It can be the dates, or the words themselves.. Well, Do you understand?" She explained.
"So.. Does it mean something changed in the diary?" Gray asked. Levy's eyes widened.
"What do you mean by change?" She was confused.
"Well, when we read her diary, there was nothing wrong with it.. Aside from the scribbles, I guess.." He continued.
"No, I think there were random letters below.." Erza added.
"Hmm.. If that's the case, Let's see.." Levy nodded then opened the diary. They sat down together then started reading.
*Please do go back to the Chapter of November 7 and do things according to what you understand here :)
