Chapter Fifty Three: Color of your eyes
"Angelica!"
A thirteen year old Angelica turned around from heading back to her parents to see a boy around ten year's old running up to her, getting her to smile. The young boy had pale skin with messy black hair, green eyes, and was wearing a simple green shirt and black pants, and was also barefoot.
Currently the location that the young daughter of Natsu and Yukino was at was a small town located in Northern Bosco. After fending off a recent demon attack the town was currently trying to rebuild itself. The sky was somewhat dark due to the dark clouds covering up the area, signifying that it was soon about to rain. Angelica was with her Mother Yukino as well as with Mother Lucy and her Aunt Sorano and Uncle Eric, not to mention her sister Layla and brother Tiron were also present in the town. They were about to take off soon so the young girl was heading back to them before she was called out by the boy.
"Lucas! What's up?" The silver haired girl asked the now identified Lucas, who stopped running and looked at the girl with a sad face.
"Do you really have to go now?" Lucas asked her with sadness present in his voice, which got Angelica to frown at seeing him looking so down.
"I'm sorry Lucas, but I need to go back with my family." Angelica informed him, not liking him to be upset about her leaving.
"A-Are you sure that I can't come with you?" He once again asked with a bit of desperation and even a few tears from his eyes, as he didn't want Angelica to leave him.
"Lucas," Angelica started to speak as she was now in front of him with a small smile, "You need to stay here to help make sure the bad demons don't come back. And this isn't goodbye forever you know. I'm sure to come back whenever I can. So in my place, can you keep this town safe for me?" She asked him kindly, as Lucas wiped the tears from his eyes before having a determined looked on his face.
"I promise!" Lucas managed replied, feeling a bit better by her words. The black haired boy then spoke up once more, "Uh… Angelica?"
"Hmm?" Angelica responded with a smile, wondering what he was going to say or ask, not noticing a small blush had appeared on his face.
"Uh… when all of this is over with… and when we're older…," Lucas then regain his determine composer as he looked at the silver haired girl in the eyes, "When we're older, I'm going to marry you okay?" He told her with a serious face.
This got Angelica to be caught off guard by his words, but then she smiled and giggled, which only confused the black haired boy.
"Alright," She replied to him, getting him to smile widely and happily, "I'll be sure to hold you up on that."
"Really?!" He replied with happiness, which got Angelica to giggle once more at how cute he looked right there. She looked at him with a large smile of her own.
"I promise."
Brown eyes opened as Angelica slowly awoken from her slumber and from her memory. The silver haired woman sat up slowly as she then looked around to see everyone else asleep near the lake and near the trees of the forest.
"That memory again…" Angelica whispered to herself, as she lay back down on the tree she was resting on.
She simply laid there for a moment before overwhelming sadness and anger filled her being. It wasn't at anyone else or anything else, it was aimed at her herself.
Why? Why didn't she bring Lucas with her? Why didn't she just stayed behind? Is only she had stayed, or if only she had taken him with her, then maybe he would still be around. He would still be with them. With her.
"Lucas…" Angelica quietly spoke his named to herself, unable to hold back the tears that now stream downed her face, quietly sobbing to herself.
If Angelica had paid closer attention, she would have noticed earlier that one of her brothers wasn't present with anyone else.
'ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LAKE'
Sans looked up to see the full moon just floating up there in sky along with all of the stars. If once would to see the site they would comment on how beautiful it looked. With all the stars sparkling and the night sky alit by the moon and stars, it was indeed a nice site to see. Sans simply smiled at it all.
"Isn't this a nice view?" The future son of Natsu and Irene questioned with a small smile, as he looked at the large lake, barely seeing the others on the other side. He was a bit far out from them for them to hear him, so he didn't have to worry about waking anyone up.
The red haired male then looked back up at the night sky, memories filling his head. However his smile then turned into that of a frown.
"If only you were here to see this Eliza." Sans spoke, his happy mood quickly faded into one of sadness at his words.
His eyes then closed as he simply felt the breeze of the air hitting him while under the moonlight sky. That's when he opened his mouth once more.
Had we made another decision
Gone through our thoughts not lost our vision
Care for another life, not only seen our own
A new life could have grown
The memories filling his head once again, of a certain someone who he cherished dearly, as well as someone else he cared for.
We never stopped to think
Never had time to feel
It should just disappear
Why did life always seem so unfair? What did they ever do to deserve what they were dealt with? Sans began to get more into the mood as he went on.
If I said I never think about you, I would lie
It kills me to never know
Never know the color
The color of your eyes
He remembered first meeting her when he was but a small child during the first Legion invasion. He was with his Mother Irene as well as his Father Natsu. They were in the country of Caeleum meeting with the royalties of the nation. It was there when he first saw her, and from one look alone was enough for her to win his heart.
Thoughts of who you would be
Would you look like your ma or me
A fathers proud only child
Kids coming back to me
In my black mind
He remembered when they got older, how they got closer together, much to the teasing of his siblings and parents. But he didn't care, for he would admit without a doubt that he loved her with all of his heart.
If I said I never think about you, I would lie
It kills me to never know
Never know the color
The color of your eyes
Sans then pulled out something from his pocket. It looked to be that of a pendant necklace. He opened it up to reveal a picture of himself along with a long orange haired woman, both of them smiling and with him hugging her from behind. But that wasn't the only thing that made his heart filled with sorrow, another detail was where his hands on Eliza's stomach, with brought tears to his eyes.
Can't find the reason why
No matter how I try
It is killing me
Can't find the reason why
No matter how I try
It is killing me
If only he was stronger. If only he could go back, he could have protected her. He could have protected both of them.
If I said I never think about you, I would
I would lie
If I said I never think about you, I would lie
It kills me to never know
Never know the color
The color of your eyes
If I said I never think about you, I would lie
Sans slowly fell back on the tree behind him, sliding to the ground as he, with tearful eyes, looked at the picture of Eliza, as well as the unborn child that she carried in her. Their child, but now both of them were gone.
It kills me to never know the color of your eyes
Sans couldn't hold it back anymore as he curled up his knees as he silently cried at the memory of the family, the family that was taken from him, the family that he would never get to have anymore.
Okay, a bit of a shorter chapter, I thought it would be bigger, but it's fine. I'll try to go back to normal length chapters next times. More ideas just come to me with this story, so I can't help but add more things like this here.
The song was "Color of your eyes" by Smash into Pieces
See you all next time, whenever that will be.
