Hey guys TenshiYuki21 here with an early update! So today's a run off election here on the island I live in so there's no school today! Yaaay I had time to write the next chapter for this story! So for this chapter I added a few NaLu moments because I simply adore NaLu! It is my OTP and I ship them extremely hard! So I hope you guys will love this chapter and please please please review after you finish reading it! The last chapter only reached 4 reviews and I was a bit disappointed. T^T
On a Side Note:
Words in italics - thoughts/ fashbacks
Everyone should know the drill by now! TenshiYuki 21 does not own Fairy Tail or its characters, all rights belongs to Hiro Mashima. The main plot of the story was inspired by Gayle Foreman's If I Stay and a little bit of Where she Went so I will credit them as well so I will not be sued for copyright!
So here's an early weekly dosage of TenshiYuki's Come Back to Me!
Chapter Two: The Trip
Previously on Come Back to Me
It was just a dream, I assured myself. Quickly, I grabbed the book I left beside me last night and looked at the photo of the Trevelis once again. This time I focused on the tail for any sign of it being a fatal weapon. But there was none. The tip had no scales on it, nor was there any blades attached to it like the baby Trevelis had in my dream.
I sighed; relieved that perhaps my imagination was playing tricks on me. Unable to go to sleep I packed every essential item I needed for the mission into my bag, but I could not shake the feeling that this mission could go horribly wrong.
.~.~.~
I slowly made my way to the train and as I dragged my luggage along with me I could not forget about my dream the other night. Deep in thought I stub my foot on a rock and nearly fell over until a pair of arms grabbed my waist.
"Oii Lucy now's not the time to be sleep walking!" No surprise it was Natsu who caught me and helped me back up, "were heading out for a mission remember!"
"Lucy's still asleep" teased Happy as he floated into my arms.
I averted my eyes from meeting Natsu and absent-mindedly stroked Happy's head, "Yeah, about the mission Natsu..."
He tilted his head to his head, "Don't tell me you're backing out Luce!"
I slowly looked up, "I don't want any of us to go. Not just me."
"Eeeh? How come?"
I didn't want to worry him about my dream that I don't even know will happen. "Well, were up against a monster that we've never faced before and it's a monster that would be a bad match up for you."
"Aw come on Luce that's what makes it more fun! Don't you believe I can face a water monster?!"
I finally faced him, "Still I'm worried that this mission could get someone seriously hurt."
Suddenly Natsu smiled and I could swear I heard my heart skip a beat, why did that smile affect me so much?
"Thanks for worrying about us Luce. If it would make you feel better I actually asked Wendy to follow us for the mission. Happy insisted on bringing Charle since we'd be at a lake where Happy can try to impress her."
"Aye sir!" cheered Happy and I smiled.
He stretched his hand out and gently pats my head, "Sorry I asked her without telling you first, but it worked out didn't it? Now you don't have to worry about any of us getting hurt."
Suddenly Gray and Erza appeared behind us, "And what do we have here?" smirked Gray, "looks like Natsu is getting all touchy touchy with Lucy huh?"
He laughed at his own comment and Happy added in his signature tongue rolling, "They liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike each other~" further giving Gray a fit of laughter.
I could feel my face burning up and spoke to defend us, "I-it's nothing like that Gray! He was just assuring me that we'd all be safe during this mission!"
"That's very kind of you Lucy," said Erza and came to pat me on the head as well, "let me assure you as well we'll all come home from this mission safely. I swear it."
Gray came in as well and patted me afterwards, "Then I'll join in. Lucy you don't have to worry about a thing, I'll make sure the hot head doesn't die in front of you."
"Who said anything about dying huh snowman?" argued Natsu.
"Who you calling snowman you pyromaniac?" Gray countered and in no time the insults were flying and so were they as Erza knocked some sense into them.
I smiled to myself, yes there really is nothing to worry about.
~.~.~.~
A few minutes later Wendy and Charle arrived and we boarded the train towards Tenia Lake. Tenia Lake was a popular tourist attraction until one day it was taken over by the Trevelis. It took a lot of convincing for us to get the conductor to stop at the old train station for Tenia Lake but he finally agreed in exchange for a signed photo of Erza and me for his daughter.
We were the only passengers on the train so we all took individual seats to allow us to stretch more while we wait out the next two hours before reaching Tenia Lake. We were all chatting and laughing as we talked about all that's happened in our previous missions. Everyone was enjoying the wait, all but one particular person.
"A-are we there yet?" Natsu moaned, "I'm going to die soon."
"Suck it up Natsu" Gray said, "were nearly there, only another hour to go."
Natsu groaned even louder and rolled on his side. I felt extremely bad for him. Wendy's motion sickness spell clearly had no affect on him.
Looking at him reminded me of the first time I rode a train. I was just five; my father and mother had to visit a fellow shareholder of the Heartifilia Railroads. My mother refused to leave me by myself at home even with all the servants so my father agreed to take me along.
"Mama my tummy hurts!" I cried as she picked me up and laid me on her lap. "I know deary" she cooed, "everyone feels queasy during their first train ride." She stroked my hair and gently hummed a sweet melody that made the pain go away.
"Wow mama how'd you do that?" she smiled, kissed my forehead, and simply told me: Magic.
I smiled at the memory. Then before I knew it I was making my way towards Natsu's seat. I'm not sure what came over me but I gently lifted Natsu's head and placed it on my lap.
He was shocked by my actions but as soon as we made contact he instantly showed signs of relaxing. I stroked his hair and hummed my mother's melody and Natsu's motion sickness instantly went away.
"Wow Luce how'd you do that?" he asked and I smiled.
"Magic"
