You'll be my Raven and I'll be your Scarlet

A/N: Heya! :D I know, this is a pretty early update for being a Monday, but I just wanted to write something xD I know, I'm sorry that I keep on neglecting some things, I just want the story to flow but I don't want it to be all predictable and meh! xD... I'm sorry, I'm rambling, but my head it a bit messed up right now xD I guess I'm a bit hyper. Anyway, as you guys know, the story will end soon, but not yet ;p Don't worry ;) So anyways, please tell me any conclusions you want me to tie up or a mystery I've neglected for a while because when I finish BMRAIBYS, I don't want to leave any questions about stuff that happened xD. Anything that you want to know, I will write, so please tell me ;) Thank you again for everything and since I'm kinda delirious, I'll write the shout outs the next chapter, if you guys don't mind :) Also, Erza didn't kiss Gray because she hasn't had her first kiss yet xD.. Sorry, I forgot to mention it :p Sorry, it's probably short :)

Grayza Fan: Thank you very much and I hope you like this chapter ;)

Grayza Forever: I'm glad you liked it! xD And of course Erza is a star ;p And true, I need her to get in a huge fight :D Can't wait to write it :p! And I'm guessing you like the new addition of Sting ;) Yeah, I wanted someone from Fairy Tail, and I also wanted someone who would have a crush on Erza, so I was just like, "Hey, why not let it be Sting?" :D And I am getting there, don't worry :p And it wasn't a rant at all xD In fact, the longer, the better, I say! :D And thank you very much, I really hope I do get better xD.

Enjoy!

Chapter XXXVI: Follow Me

Hospital 3:00 AM

"Beep.."
"Beep...Beep.."

Lisanna breathed with the oxygen mask, hearing her heart beat on the heart beat monitor. As soon as she had woken up, the doctors had gone berserk and happy, trying to ask her how she felt and what caused her to wake up, but she chose to remain silent. The doctors had ran a few tests on her, and everything seemed to be alright. When they told her she could finally go to school, it had been a huge relief. Sure, she was probably going to be way behind, as she had lost so many years of her life, but now she could really do something with her life. Even though Lisanna would be behind, she knew she would catch up soon as she was ambitious. Being away for so long meant that people would probably not recognise her. She had stared in disbelief at how much she had grown, even if her nutrition had been given to her in a tube. Her hands and feet, once tiny, were now much bigger. She knew Mira would probably not forgive her for a while, but it had to be done.

The thing was that only one person other than her and the doctors knew about her current 'condition', and Mira wasn't part of it. She had refused to contact her sister or brother, or even her parents because she didn't want them to see her so weak. Every day, she struggled to do something that someone normal could do without barely any thought. Every muscle was stiff and it took an enormous amount of concentration and determination that she did not possess to do a simple task such as eating her soup. The nurses looked at her pityingly and tried to give her help, but she would always smile and shake her head before trying over and over again. She needed to do this. For him.. For us..

The hardest part of it all was the rehabilitation for her legs. Her whole body felt like it was not her own, so steering it to her will proved too difficult. She tried to walk, but every time she would just walk one measly step before collapsing on the floor, drenched in sweat. She knew that she could take weeks, if not months, to let her legs work again- Lisanna knew there was no time for that. She either had to find a quick solution or push herself to the very depths of hell to get to her goal. So that's what she did.

Every morning, afternoon and evening, Lisanna would try and walk, the poles next to her supporting her and keeping her balance. Every single time, she moved one inch forward, closer to victory. As soon as she pushed herself too much, she knew that she would faint and go unconscious. But that didn't scare her anymore. She had been unconscious for half her life, and there was no way that she was going to let that stop her.

Lisanna kept on walking forward, making tiny steps which probably meant nothing to others, but meant the world to her. She found herself collapsing even more frequently, tubes in her as she breathed after gaining consciousness. She knew that it was progress, but it certainly wasn't enough... Unless...

Lisanna rushed on her wheelchair to the rehabilitation room, ignoring the protest from her nurses who had taken care of her all those years.
She knew what she had to do now - imagine Natsu.

Natsu was her strength, her knight in shining armour. Her goal was to stand so that she could finally see him, her hero with Salmon hair.

Lisanna shakily stood up, trying not to let the prospect of failure frighten her. She held the poles and started walking, slowly, centimetre by centimetre, inching closer to victory. The noisy room stood quiet, trying to see the miracle that they were about to witness. Slowly, carefully, inch by inch, Lisanna was walking. She walked, and walked and walked, imagining Natsu, all grown up, the same smiling eyes, the Salmon hair, the strong muscles from all his fights, the tan from all the travelling, his clothes, old and dirty from his poverty but most of all, his outstretched arms, waiting for her, pushing her on to fight.

Lisanna could feel herself getting closer to him. Slowly. Carefully. She walked, her movements getting a bit quicker, her brain synchronising with her body. Natsu was shining like a star, and Lisanna's smile grew wider and wider. If she tried to reach for him, she was sure she could actually touch him. Slowly. Carefully. But she knew that she would lose her balance if she let go of the pole, so she kept on moving at snail speed, eager to be met by the arms of Natsu and breathe him in and feel his warm skin on hers. Slowly. Carefully...

There was only one more step left, the room in dead silence. What if she fell? Or even stumbled? What would happen if she had no power after all this? She knew there was only one way to find out.
She took the last step, and she leaped in Natsu's arms. She had forgotten that she had made him up, as he was only a figment of her imagination, so she fell to the floor, and the nurses rushed to help her from the floor. But she wasn't crying. Oh no! She was laughing. She was actually all smiles, having a giggling fit which never stopped, and it was contagious enough to spread throughout the whole room. The tinkering laughter spread smiles through the whole ward, which spread more and more until joy was like a song, being played as everyone's laughter. Someone turned on the radio, and a melodious voice started singing.

Lisanna sat there, her laughter halted, as she was now in shock.
No.. It can't possibly be HER..

FLASHBACK

"Hello?" said a very familiar voice of a certain Salmon haired boy.

"Heya, I'm back again..."
"Who's this? ..Wait.. Is it really.. you?" asked Nastu in a low voice
"Well, who else would it be? Did you miss me?" she said in a quiet, raspy voice.
"Lisanna!" was all he said before he burst into tears.

Lisanna explained everything to him, and Natsu never stopped crying. She was glad to hear his voice, even though he wasn't saying anything. After they had finished, they had stayed in silence for several minutes, just glad to be there for each other. Lisanna, however did not know that Mirajane had forgotten to top up her phone, so the call suddenly ended and her battery went dead. She cursed at her sister over and over again for trying to separate her from Natsu even when she wasn't anywhere near. Never mind, she would be able to meet her fated one soon..

The City
(It's probably good if you hear the City by Ed Sheeran, just for the mood ;) /watch?v=9WSXaMoyQuI)

Where am I?..
Wait.. that's Gray! Wait up! ...
Huh?
He's holding the hand of some girl... I can only see her back and his back, but it's all in black in white for me except..
The lights!
They are so bright and pretty..

I wonder where they are going? I might as well follow them..
Why can't I move my own body? Ugh, move!
Why am I so sleepy and tired, it's all so blurry..
Where are they going?..

He's holding her hand, and they are laughing together..
Pull yourself together Erza!
What..What the hell are they doing?
Dancing!?

It's raining for goodness sake!
They are getting drenched, but they are still laughing and smiling.. Unbelievable!
Did he just.. kiss her cheek? Who is she?

Why are they standing so close?
And why.. Nooooooooooo...

He is singing to her..
But.. but he said his voice was only mine..

My eyes are getting blurry, but I have to get over it..

They are still walking hand in hand to a.. restaurant?
Great! Now I have to suffer through the torture of seeing them eat lasagne..

And WHAT! They are feeding each other? What vile humans?
If only I could move in this stupid place and give her a good beating, maybe that will teach her a lesson in better manners!
And oh great! Now, they even dared to order strawberry cheesecakes, and I'm not invited!

And now they are walking.. great.. Hand in hand again, really making me think of relationship goals! Not...
Okay, maybe I've been doing too much tumbling and interneting..

Wait.. what are they doing?
Why is she tip-toeing, and why is he bending down?..
No..
NO!
STOP!
STOP THIS ABOMINATION RIGHT NOW OR I WILL...!

Erza wakes up, her eye sight still blurry, but a worried Gray looking at her face as she sways in mid-air, strong hands holding her. Wait..Was what was happening in the dream happening to her in that moment? Before she could find out, she fell right back asleep, realising that the girl was with was actually...
Me..

And done! I hope you enjoy this short chapter my adorable, amazing chibis and stay lovely and have fun and don't worry, life is stressful, but focus on the positive things that make you happy and stick with them because they will help you through every tough situation you will face :D And please remember to tell me anything I might have forgotten to clarify in the past that you want me to elaborate, this is your story as well as mine ;p HUGS! \(*^-^*)/
