The Bunny And The Dragon

Chapter 6

Nightmare

"Mom, you're going to get better right," a little blonde girl asked her mom who is lying in bed sick.

She just smiled sadly at me and told me that she loves me. The next thing I know is that she is gone and I am in a black dress crying hysterically next to my father in a cemetery. My dad is crying and slowly his eyes turn cold, and all emotion leaves him. The next time he looks at me, the person I see in his eyes, I no longer recognize. This person isn't my father.

Suddenly we are not at the grave anymore. It's like a slide film. I see myself growing older and my dad shunning me, yelling at me. I see every instance of this. I can feel myself being scared of him, feeling sad for losing both my mother and my father, and above all else I can feel myself being unimaginably lonely.

Abruptly the little girl is all by herself in the pitch dark. She is crying out of loneliness. All the people she has ever loved have left her. Her mother left her all together and her father is not the same man she used to love. Why must all the people who she loved leave her? Is it her fault? Is she destined to love and loss for the rest of her life?

The little girl grew older until she was a teenager. Suddenly out of the darkness he can hear her father's evil laughter and approaching footsteps. He is appraising her worth, mocking her, telling her how useless she is, telling her that he is going to sell her off to the highest bidder to be married. The voice is surrounding her, seeming to come from all directions, trying to overpower her. The teenager is crying, trying to run away as fast as she can, she is scared. No matter how far she run's, it's not far enough. That voice is still there, laughing at her attempts to get away from him and this darkness.

Out of nowhere she trips and falls straight to the ground, and for some reason she can't get back up. The voices are closing in on her and getting louder. The girl starts crying even louder in hysterics. She starts yelling, "go away" "leave me alone," Over and over again. It doesn't seem to work. She is just about to give in to the darkness and the voices are almost upon her when she hears another voice calling her name for some reason. It gives her the strength to get up and start running again, only this time she is not running aimlessly, she is running towards the voice. She is running and running and she sees a light accompanying the voice. She runs into the light.


End of Nightmare

My eyes flash open in fear, the nightmare still fresh in my mind.

"Lucy," I hear someone's familiar voice desperately calling out my name and I blink again and I am able to focus on the face above me.

"Natsu," I ask confused, still groggy from my sleep.

"Oh thank kami," he says and the next thing I know I am in his arms and he is clutching me tightly. I relax into his arms after the initial surprise wears away. All of the bad feelings from my dream fade away as I am in his arms.

"What's wrong," I ask, wondering why he is so relived. What happened?

"You were sleeping then abruptly you start whimpering and crying, then you started screaming 'go away" and "leave me alone.' I tried to wake you up but you wouldn't wake up immediately and I started to panic," he says frowning, obviously worried about me.

"Oh," I say not knowing what else to say.

"You want to tell me what the hell you were dreaming of that had you crying and screaming in fear," he asks me demandingly, pulling me away to look imploringly into my eyes.

With that question, all the good feeling and the sense of safety I felt when I realized Natsu was here receded. The dream flashes through my head again and all of those feelings from the dream come back with a vengeance. Sadness, fear, self-blame, loneliness, all those feeling make their way through me without mercy.

My eyes start to leak and I throw myself into his arms and sob hysterically. I cling to him trying to get some sense of the comfort I felt before, but my emotions are too wild to be calmed down. The dream was horrible, my worst nightmare, my past. It dug up the past I have tried so hard to bury and put behind me, and reopened all my wounds. I haven't had a dream like that since before I met Natsu and came to Fairy Tail.

I cry, I sob, and I cling to Natsu like my life depends on it, and I guess in a way it does. Natsu is my savior. Natsu always makes everything alright. I feel that when we first met he took all my sadness and burned it away with his flames. He is the only person I would ever let see me in this state.

While I am crying, Natsu tries to sooth me. He holds me tight and gently strokes my hair. He whispers soothing word of comfort into my ear. He tells me it's going to be alright. He says it was just a dream, that it can't hurt me. He says that he is here for me; he will always be here for me. He says there is no need to fear for he is here. He sounds so convincing; I can't help myself but to believe him.

I start to calm down after his soothing words and gradually stop crying. I just breath in his woodsy sent heavily and cling to him, not wanting to let go of my safety blanket. While Natsu has stopped whispering his soothing words to me, he is still holding me tightly against him and is stroking my hair lightly. The feeling of his hand in my hair sends shivers down my body and eradicates the last of the nightmares effects from my mind.

"You okay now," he asks gently, tentatively, seeing as I have calmed down.

"Yea, I am. Thanks," I say, my voice horse and scratchy from crying.

We stay in a comfortable silence for a couple minutes before Natsu speaks up. "Do you want to tell me what happened now," he asks, but not in a demanding way like he did before.

I shake my head. "It was just a bad dream, it doesn't matter now," I tell him. I see doubt in his eyes and add "I promise."

"Are you sure," he asks dubiously.

"Yea, you're here aren't you," I say sincerely, blushing all the way to my roots.

His dubious look morphs into a victorious smile, and I realize the implication of my words. Oh my kami.

"T-that's n-not what I mean, I mean I do mean it, but wait I don't but wait," I stutter out, trying to express my thoughts unsuccessfully.

He laughs at me. "I know what you mean," he says mockingly, smiling immensely at my expense.

I bury my head into his chest to hide my heavy blush. Only he can make me so embarrassed and tear down my confident collected wall. Only he can take all I've ever built and make it crumble down. Only he sees through to the real me and brings me out.

"Natsu will you stay with me tonight," I ask him shyly, not looking him in the face. I normally would not ask, but I need someone with me tonight.

"You couldn't keep me away," he says earnestly, already taking us under the covers.

I smile into his chest, pleased with his response. I snuggle into him getting myself comfortable. With Natsu here, no more nightmares will dare come. With that comforting thought and the warmth he is admitting, I soon fall into a comfortable sleep, devoid of all nightmares. Only sweet dreams that involve a certain dragon slayer are able to enter.

It was a good thing the bunny's worried dragon was there to help her, not that he minded. He has his bunny in his arms, what more could he ask for. While he was worried, after he was thinking what's her nightmare is my prize. Poor bunny, if only she knew what the dragon was getting at her expense. I only have one question, what was the dragon doing in the bunny's room in the first place?
