"Natsu!" Lucy screamed, barreled back a jagged knife penetrating her tired, sore nimble body.
The blonde hair cascaded around her body, the tips dipped in blood like a raspberry ice block melting onto warm fingers in a crisp cool day. His pink hair was slick with perspiration, a build up of frustration and exertion of strength.
"Luce don't you dare pass out on me," he beat on the invisible barrier his thick bandaged arms trying to crush the wall as if it were Acnologia. She tried to smile reassuringly, trying to dim down the atmosphere surrounding how completely frightening this situation really is, Lucy's dying…and Natsu knew it too.
She reached out and touched the invisible force keeping her from touching the rim of his soggy eyelids.
"I'm okay," her voice is strained with exhaustion, she's holding on as best as she could…but soon he knew her body would float away.
This only caused his wobbling legs to shake before they finally gave up and allowed his body to fall like a pre-cooked pancake to the sodden floor.
"No Luce, you're not…" he whimpered before he tilted his head to look at her brown eyes that were fluttering closed as they spoke, he reached out and touched the air between them. "I can't save you," suddenly his eyes narrowed, he's reminded himself of all those times Lucy has found herself in positions in which only Natsu could rescue her, oh and how there has been many, so why is now any different?
It isn't.
"But it's my job to save you!" his form grew as he stood ruggedly seething with uncontained blood lust, "MY RIGHT! And MINE only…you hear me Lucy Heartfellia, you are mine to protect, you are mine! Whoever this sick twisted bastard is that is keeping me from you is going to PAY!" with that his battered hand ploughed into the invisible wall between them.
