Natsu pov
I sat at the bar with my hands propping up my head, I was completely dreading what I had to do today.. the exceeds were coming back from there mission today and i had to tell happy that Lucy was gone. I had been thinking about ho to tell him but I couldn't think of anything, just yesterday me and Levy had decided to do everything to find Lucy and Gajeel. Erza and Grey said that they would help too. Since I couldn't track Gajeel's or Lucy's scent Erza suggested that we head to every place that we have ever been on a mission with either of them, which was a long list, but we ere all determined to find them.
I yawned covering my mouth, I hadn't been able to sleep at all last night, I was half asleep when the guild doors opened reveling 3 exceeds all smiling I looked over at Levy who looked at me at the same time a sad expression on her face. I walked to her
"do you want to do this together" Levy nodded as we walked to the 3 exceeds Carla went off as soon as she saw us and went to find Wendy. Happy and Lily summoned there wings and flew toward me and Levy
"Natsu why do you look so sad? and where is Lucy?" Levy began to cry as soon as Happy spoke
"what's wrong Levy?" Lily asked
"Lu-Lu-chan and Gaj-Gajeel..." Levy's words drifted off Levy looked over at me her eyes begging for me to finish
"Lucy and Gajeel. there gone" Lily and Happy both looked at each other then at us Lily instantly flew into Levy's arms as he tried to calm her down, she began to pet his fur and cried softly Happy stood on the bar looking up at me with sad eyes
"Lucy is gone?" Happy asked
"yeah sorry buddy"
"where did she go Natsu?" I looked down at him with sad eyes
"i don't know but were going to find her" I looked over at Levy and Lily "and Gajeel"
I looked down at Happy to see that he was crying silently "Happy?" Happy looked up at me as he wiped a tear away "Lucy is really gone?"
"yeah.." just seeing happy like this someone who I have been with my whole life who was always smiling was now staring up at me with his big sad eyes I could barely stand it but I had to be strong for Levy, and Happy. I picked Happy up and hugged him to my chest "come on buddy" Happy cried into my chest as we said goodbye to Levy and Lily and walked out the guild
Lucy pov
I woke up to the sun in my eyes I quickly shield them from the harsh light and turned over in bed groaning, after a couple of minutes I decided to get up. I sat up in bed and looked over at Gajeel's bed but it was empty
"that dumb dragon slayer" I hissed as I threw off the blankets, I got up off the bed and got dressed as I was about to go look for him when the door opened and Gajeel walked in handing me a ticket "train leaves in 1 hour so get your stuff" Gajeel began packing his bag, I sighed "are we going to talk?" Gajeel looked over at me "well the train is about 2 hours. We can talk then"
I decided to take a shower considering I had no idea when I would be able to take one again, as soon as I got out Gajeel rushed me out the door I didn't even have time to brush my hair before he was headed out the door me scrambling after him.
we got on the train right when Gajeel sat in his seat I asked the question that had been on my mind for the whole night
"why did you say my name in your sleep?" Gajeel sighed
"geez I should have known you wouldn't even wait for the train to start moving"
"stop stalling and just tell me" I crossed my hands over my lap
"I'm not stalling"
"yes you are. Now tell me"
"I was not stalling." I raised my eye brows challenging him
Gajeel sighed "ok, ok well I've been kinda having dreams about you and-"
"let me stop you there, listen Gajeel I have Natsu and your with Levy one of my best friends and if you are having weird dreams about us-"
Gajeel stopped me a look of complete horror on his face "whoa whoa Lucy I'm not having Dreams about you and I"
"your not?" Gajeel shook his head
"no, I was going to say I've been having the same dream as you. you know the one with the field-"
"with Natsu" Gajeel nodded sitting back in his seat
"so what do you see?"
"truthfully the same thing as you except I see it from my point of view from afar. except mine doesn't end when Natsu dies." I knew it as coming but I still flinched I always hated that part. Gajeel continued "instead after he dies Zeref go toward you whispers something in your ear, then you look at me and leave with him"
"wait I leave with Zeref?" Gajeel nodded
"that doesn't make any sense why would I go with him after he just killed Natsu"
"that's what confuses me too" I looked at Gajeel's face it was completely blank
"is there something your not telling me?" I asked looking at him suspiciously
"no. that's what my dream is" I looked at him a minute longer and decided to drop it
"ok" i sat back in my seat and waited for the train to start moving
I kept stealing glances at Gajeel for half the train ride he never noticed though he pretty much looked through the window the whole time he eventually fell asleep, I actually couldn't believe that Gajeel was having the same dream as me and just now it feels like it sunk in it felt almost like a dream as ridiculous as that sounds it did how could he possibly have the same dream as me? and why did I go with Zeref? I really wish I had Levy here to talk to about this me and her would probably figure it out but she wasn't here and right now I couldn't think of anything. I sat like that the whole time trying to think of any reason I would go with Zeref after he just killed Natsu, I must have zoned out because the next thing I knew Gajeel was shaking my shoulder I looked up at him
"hey, when did you wake up?"
"an hour ago" I sat up straighter
"what?!"
"yeah you've been staring at the window like a zombie since I woke up"
I sighed "well are we here?" Gajeel nodded
"10 minutes then we need to get a ferry or a boat to get to the island"
I nodded "yeah I don't know if we can get one though or if people still think its haunted"
"what do you mean?"
"well last time it was really hard to get a boat because the locals here thought that it was bad luck or something"
someone over the speaker announced that we would be at our stop in 5 minutes, me and Gajeel grabbed our bags by the time we had all of our things the train began to stop.
We got off the train and headed to the docks, when we got there me and Gajeel walked all over asking if someone could take us to Galuna island and take us back, but no one would take us,
"this is hopeless!" I said as i sat on a nearby bench
Gajeel came and sat down on the bench next to me "we could rent a boat and head out there"
I scoffed "do you know how to drive a boat? do people even say drive a boat?""
"no"
"I'll go ask some more people you stay here"
Gajeel got up and walked to the closest person, I watched from afar as Gajeel walked back a frown on his face
"how'd it go?"
"he said he can take us" Gajeel's frown turned into a smile
I stood up quickly "are you serious?!"
Gajeel nodded grabbing his bag "come on"
I got up off the bench as I basically skipped to the man he was older then us probably his mid 30's he smiled at me as I walked up to him
"hi I'm Jason" I shook his out stretched hand
"Lucy, and this is Gajeel" I pointed at Gajeel who had his arms crossed over his chest he nodded at Jason
"so you ant to go to Galuna island huh?"
I nodded "yes we do. and back here after" Jason nodded
"I can do that I can drop you off and be back in a week"
I looked at Gajeel he nodded "alright"
Jason smiled "great!" Jason walked to the water and stood in front of an old rickety boat
"this is it" Jason turned and smiled at me
I laughed nervously "this is your boat?" Jason nodded
I looked over at Gajeel he looked absolutely green
Jason laughed "I'm kidding"
Jason walked farther left and stood next to a huge ferry "this is my boat"
heey! I can honestly say I'm not exactly happy with this chapter. I haven't been writing as often and instead of having 2 or 3 chapters done I have none. hopefully I'll get back on track soon, and I just wanted to remind you all this is not a GaLu I never even knew there was a GaLu when I started this whole story but whatever hopefully this chapter clarifies that but anyway I hope you all liked the update and I'll try to post one soon!
