A/N Thanks for reading! I hope you like it! I'd appreciate criticism, although it is not necessary. Anyways, let's get into it!
Just A Dream
Lucy POV
The foe they were facing was practically unstoppable. This was nothing like they had ever faced before. Natsu and Lucy knew they had no chance from the beginning, yet they didn't lose hope.
Until now.
Watching Natsu get repeatedly knocked back into the large rock wall behind them was heartbreaking. It was hard, no, impossible, for her to not lose hope. She couldn't help it. She lost every shred of hope she had left.
Debris from the cavern shaking was falling everywhere, and with Lucy's injuries, there was no way to avoid it. Trapped under mountains of fallen debris, she was stuck, the life slowly eeking out of her.
"Na...tsu.." Lucy muttered, hoping the dragon slayer would hear her.
The enemy smirked. "Well, what do we have here? Your precious little girlfriend is stuck here, left for dead, all because you're too weak to protect her." he snorted.
"Lucy!" Natsu screamed.
That idiot; she thought; He should be worrying about the fight, not about me. I'll be fine.
However, she had her doubts. Crushed under boulders over three times her weight, things weren't looking good. She struggled, trying to break free of their grasp, but it had no effect.
The room grew silent as Natsu struggled to get up, attempting to recover from his injuries, just to land one final blow.
There was one noise that was able to be heard. It was the sound of the enemy unsheathing the longsword from his side, intent on finishing the job and ending their lives.
Natsu POV
"Lucy…" Natsu mumbled. "I'll end this quick, so I can save you!"
Their deadly foe let out a hearty, maniacal laugh. "Oh, that's hilarious, why don't you say that again? Have you looked in a mirror? Have you seen your injuries? You stand no chance!"
This enraged Natsu. He hated feeling weak and powerless. He wanted to protect the people he loved. His fist blazing, he charged directly at the enemy standing in front of him.
"Natsu!" Lucy screamed, as she jumped directly in front of Natsu to take the blow.
The sword, sharper than a dragon's fang, flashed in front of their faces, and went entirely through both of their bodies.
"Nat...su…" Lucy muttered, before both of them collapsed to the ground, losing blood at an alarming rate, at death's door.
That's when he woke up.
Gasping for air and sweating like crazy, Natsu looked at his surroundings. He was inside of Lucy's apartment, laying on the couch.
That's when he remembered.
Lucy! he thought. I have to make sure she's okay!
He scrambled to his feet and dashed to Lucy's bedroom. Inside, he found her sleeping peacefully.
"Y-You're okay." He mumbled, clearly still shaken up from his nightmare. "It was… just a dream, w-wasn't it?"
He sank down into a chair beside her bed and waited for her to wake up.
If it was just a dream; he thought; then, why did it feel so… real?
