On the 7th day of July, on Lucy's mother's death so many years ago, Natsu was walking up to visit Lucy when he smelled blood. He raced up the last couple of steps and burst into the room. At the foot of the bed there was Lucy. She looked like she was sleeping peacefully for the first time in weeks, until you looked down. There was a gaping knife wound in her stomach, and blood was still dripping out. Natsu ran over to her, and lifter her head up, tears streaming down his face. Her body was still cold, and reeked of death. Next to her head there was a small note, on the front it said, Natsu. He opened it and it read, Natsu, I don't see the point of living. The world is a grey haze, there is no color anymore. I'm sorry for making trouble for you guys, you're better off without me anyways. -Lucy.
Natsu dropped the letter, and roared. He roared out all the pain and sorrow that had been building up for the past several weeks. His roar brought other members of the guild, and when they saw Lucy they all burst into gut wrenching tears. Levy, Erza, and Gray all sank to their knees, so overcome with emotion that they didn't have the strength to do anything. The rest of the guild crowded around, trying to give comfort to the ones who knew Lucy the best. Natsu had long ran out of the guild and into the forest. No one went after him, they knew he needed time alone.
Anyone who even went near the building could feel the sadness radiating off of it. The funeral was held in one week's time. Natsu was the one most hurt, he had lost his mate. Everyone tried to comfort him, telling him that she was in a better place, but nothing helped. He constantly thought of her, her bright smile that made everyone else smile with her, and her chocolate brown eyes that were so full of life. They were lost to him. The funeral was a sad one, everyone was crying, and most could barely speak any words for her.
