Chapter14

Natsumi checked out from the hotel as she paid the room's money after getting enough sleep. She was ready for her new journey, she slept well. Actually, she slept for more than 5 hours because the night had already come and she doesn't know how she slept for such a long time without feeling anything. She doesn't get the idea of it but she heard Mira once saying that people who are sick and tired sleeps without feeling the time runs. She sighed as she put down the red wallet on the table as she started to sign on a paper that was brought to her.

"Natsumi!"

Natsumi quickly moved her head to look at the voice's source to be surprised of the blonde man staring at her. He was staring at her silently as he watched her surprised reaction not knowing why he came here.

"Lucas!"

"I finally found you." The blonde said as he started walking silently to her with no reaction on his face. Natsumi was actually confused of what she was hearing. He found her? Why is he searching for her in the first place? She put the ben on the table and kept staring at him waiting for him to talk. The blonde didn't talk as he kept staring at her losing the courage to ask what he wanted to ask. She moved her eyes to look at the ground feeling hopeless about this conversation and sighed.

"I don't know why you are here but, I know that I need to catch the train." She said as she started to walk away from the blonde who was staring helplessly at her. She passed by him and he couldn't tell her to stop until he hurried to grab her arm turning her body to his direction.

"Y-You really want to know why I am here." Lucas said as he looked into her eyes. She looked at him and didn't say anything waiting for him to let go of her arm. When he didn't, she harshly pulled it away.

"I don't want to know." She wasn't ready for another pain. She knew that he came bringing her pain and only pain. Staring at him was hurting her heart and she is not ready for it or want it anymore.

"Natsumi,"

"You can talk later but, I don't want to hear you now."

"What's wrong with you?!" He yelled at her as he saw her cold eyes. Natsumi didn't answer as she kept staring at his face ignoring meeting his eyes. "You always ignore me and when I talk to you, you run away!"

"You say what's wrong with me?! What's wrong with you? You said to stay friends and I listened to your words and now you are fighting with me and not in a friendly way!"

"Friends? You think this how friends act…?" Natsumi's eyes suddenly started moving right and left to realize that people were actually were gazing at them. She gulped and looked down at the ground. Lucas stayed silent for a moment and then decided to open his mouth to talk again,
"Y-You were crying that night…"

The pink haired girl's eyes widened at what he was saying. He actually does remember that she was crying. She raised her head slowly to look at his face and found that meaningful reaction.

"Natsumi," he called her name. Her name that was tearing his heart coming out from his mouth while didn't make different coming out from others' mouths. Her heart started to hurt again once he looked at her with those meaningful eyes. "What am I to you?"

He was her life. Her light, her happiness, her smile, her matter, her concern, her worry, her oxygen, her carbon dioxide, her pain, her disaster, her trouble, her tears… her everything. And now he asks 'What am I to you?' She can't answer him what he is to her. She could've answered a year ago but she can't do it anymore. She doesn't have the courage to continue this.

Natsumi exhaled as she stared at the ground for a moment as her hair covered her half face. She is tired of this tiring relationship and she can't do it anymore. She wants him to spare her life and let go of her. She wants to forget about him. She doesn't want to look at his face anymore. His love was an amazing thing to feel but, she can't do it anymore. She can't bear that pain that made her weak and helpless. She doesn't want to act and lie anymore.

"You… are nothing." Slowly, the girl left him staring at the space. She said that she was nothing to her and she was still lying. But, she thought that it might be the last lie to tell. It should be so because she can't keep on going anymore.

Lucas became confused between her tears that he saw and the cold side she met him with now and he just can't understand what's going on with her. But the only thing he knows that his inside is burning from the pain.

"Excuse me, mister."

The rain was pouring above her head and she didn't bother it at all, like it was something normal to her who hated the rain. She didn't want to think about anything anymore. She doesn't to feel that hurting feelings inside of her heart anymore and she doesn't want to cry anymore. She was doing all this because she wanted to push him away from her but he really didn't want to be pushed away.

She reached the train station and was told that the trains are on break because the rain and she has to wait until the weather better. She just checked out from the hotel and she can't really stay out in this weather. Natsumi moved her bag to search for her wallet and realized it wasn't there. Natsumi kept on searching but actually found nothing. She was helpless; she also can't remember where she left it. Her head also were hurting her from thinking and she wanted to rest. She walked of the station heading to the forest.

At least, she has to find a place where she can stay until the weather gets better.

The girl started walking and walking as the rain kept pouring above her head. Today was really her unlucky day. Everything she doesn't like happened to her and now, she is walking in a street without it ends like it was the longest street she had ever walked in.

Finally, Natsumi reached the forest that was after the city after walking around half an hour or though. She was tired of walking but her legs kept on moving, like they were getting rid of the sadness and the anger by moving. She couldn't control herself that time and kept on walking. Suddenly, she found herself above a valley. She walked to the top of it and rested her hand on a tree beside of it. And because she was sad, she remembered a sad memory. She remembered crying above a valley while the redhead comforted her. One tear escaped her eyes as it got mixed with the rain.

Without feeling it, the rain got harder as it started destroying the ground Natsumi stood on without her realization. The ground kinda thin that's why it became in seconds. Seconds later, the top of the valley fell off to the ground taking Natsumi with it.

The pink haired became shocked in a second but couldn't grab on anything as she fell off the valley hitting the ground real hard.

"GAHH!"

Cuts became in everywhere of her body as the blood started coming out of the wounds. The girl became shocked looking at the sky that was real gray. She didn't believe what just happened like the valley waited her to come in order to fall down. Now, she was helpless unable to move a finger or move an inch. She gulped as she tried to push her body to stand up and every time she does that, she falls down once again. Not to mention that her left leg and left arm were hurting like hell. It seems like they were broken. She took a deep breath as she tried to turn her body to lie down on her belly ignoring touching the pained parts.

She started to crawl on the ground like a turtle trying to reach the tree to take as a shelter from the rain. When she reached under the tree, she realized that there was a cave inside of the mountain and she thought that she has to reach there before her condition gets worse.

Lucas looked down on the wallet he held. This wallet was red, the same color as Natsumi's one. He took a deep breath though his nose and sighed. Natsumi was arguing with him and ended up leaving her wallet behind in the hotel she stayed in. She forgot about it after arguing with the blonde as she left and he doesn't know where she is now.

Apparently, she doesn't have money to travel with so she may come back to take her wallet but the wallet now with him and she doesn't seem that she is coming back anymore. Lucas looked up at the gray sky. I forgot to mention that he was sitting at a café. He is wondering what do Natsumi do right now? Did she go back to the hotel? She doesn't have money to pay then where did she go? Even though he was worried about her but, his heart was hurting of what she said moments ago. He wants to go give her wallet but he is afraid of her reaction. He let out another sigh as he kept looking at the rain drops.

He knew that she hated rain so much so he guess that she is hiding somewhere in the forest.

"Lucas-san." He moved his head to look at the blonde who was calling him. He looked at Sting and didn't say anything as he kept waiting for him to talk first.

"Natsumi-san didn't leave the city." He said making Lucas nodding slowly at what he heard. Sting got astonished that he actually knew that she didn't leave the place. "How did you know?" Lucas moved his body to rest his back on the chair grabbing the red wallet waving it in front of the blonde's face.

"This," the blonde haired guy said. "This is Natsumi's, without it she can't leave the city."

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was that the train stations stops when it's raining and I smell her smell coming from a forest."

"A forest?"

"I guess she has found out that she doesn't have her own wallet."

Lucas paused looking at the wooden table and looking at the hot coffee that was in the mug.

"We should go and get her back, she doesn't have money and she might get cold." The blonde said worriedly as he started to think about the pink haired girl.

"Cold," the other blonde said smirking. "Dragon slayers don't get sick." He said as he laughed at what Sting said.

"We do get sick! I swear we do." Sting said as he looked at the blonde who was making him angry. "Also it seems like Natsumi-san caught one already, she wasn't acting in her full power today." Lucas's eyes widened at what he heard. She wasn't on her full power, is that why she was acting all weak when he grabbed her arm and didn't let go of her. That's right she threw his arm away harshly but it was after some tries she failed in.

"R-Really?!"
