Thank you to all you favorite or followed! As usual if you guys enjoyed my story please Follow, Favorite, or Review. Whatever you can offer. I own nothing of Fairy Tail also.

It has been a week since Natsu met Lisanna, and every night I have snuck him out to go see her. He is so happy with her, I don't know what to do. I still have feelings for him, I don't think I can move on. I will have to love him from afar. Pulling myself out of my thoughts im sitting in the guild hall on one of the tables. As usual Erza is planning a counterattack on the new people the military sent with all the remaining people around her. We have lost so many people to this war, is it all worth it in the end? We lost Alzac, Bixslow, Droy, Gildarts, and even the master.

Getting up from the table I start heading for the secret exit in the back. I just want to be alone right now. Right as I was about to leave Natsu running over smiling and picks me up twirling me around, I cant help but smile.

"There is my favorite girl."

My heart skipped a beat as I looked into his eyes. Does he really mean it? Has he finally noticed my feelings? Natsu leans down and whispers in my ear.

"Can you take me to her? I need to see her."

Shaking my head yes with a sad look on my face I took him out and started walking down an alley with him following close behind. That figures, he only wants me to take him to that girl. He doesn't notice me otherwise.

Sighing we arrived at the familiar house with the iron fence. Staying in the darkness I observe her come out from the house like she was waiting for him. They embrace and share a kiss. Taking my leave it starts to rain. Erza must be having Juvia make it rain to give them cover on the assault tonight.

Walking for what seems like hours I ended up by my old house again. Looking down at the canal I smile. I remember when he sent that rainbow tree down the canal on a boat when I was sick. Looking back to the house I hug myself. He would always break into my house and sleep in my bed. Without him around everything is bare and dull. But I've been pretending, living in my own head. I know he is blind, he will never see how much I care about him. Without me his world will keep turning, his world that is so full of happiness that I will never have. Leaving the sad scene I returned to the guild hall.

Coming in everyone is drinking with a plan on the table and all yelling that it will work. Without anyone looking I scanned the plans. So they found Intel that the army will attack us tomorrow night, here. While the army is attacking a few wizards will sneak into the castle and kill the king. Its a good plan, but I just have a bad feeling something bad is going to happen. I must be imagining things.

Sitting in the back corner where Gajeel used to sit quietly thinking. A few hours later Natsu arrives and everyone runs over telling him of the great plan and who will be going or staying.

"Those who will be going with me to slay the king are Juvia, Gray, and Freed." Announced Erza. "I need all the Dragon Slayers and bulk of you here." Everyone agreed and the plan was set in motion.

The next day went by fast, everyone preparing for the upcoming battle. Holding my keys close to my chest. Please let me have the strength today, to avenge out guild mates and protect the ones I love. As night fell everyone got in their positions. Walking to my position Natsu runs over to me giving me a letter.

"Please take this to her, it could be my last night I want her to know." Looking around then sighing.

"Alright Natsu, but I will leave a few spirits here to take my place."

Summoning Leo, Taurus, and Scorpio I ran out towards her house. I shouldn't be doing this. Summoning all those spirits took a big chunk of my energy to. Finally making it to her house I stick the letter in the fence. Running back to the guild I hear explosions and cries of agony. Slipping inside I join in the fight where I can.

Hours pass and most of us are panting and running out of energy, I had to send back two spirits and now only Leo remains. Bending down and holding my knees I look around. This isn't looking good, we have most of them down but they just keep coming. I cant keep this up.

Soldiers moved out of the way of the door making room for some weird contraption that looks like a giant gun. Wait a second, I've seen one of those before! That fires concentrated magic energy, a hit from that could kill someone! Quickly they load it then start lining up a shot. Oh no not now, im out of magic. As I say this Leo gets hit in the back having to return.

"Im sorry Lucy, I've failed you."

The soldiers finally line up a shot and start charging it to fire, looking to where it is lined up it is aimed at Natsu who is currently battling three people. Oh no its going to hit him. I cant let that happen!

Natsu defeated the three and just as he was catching his breath the gun fires sending a green light towards him. Running over I push him out of the way taking the blast. The blast flings me back fifty feet and through a wall. Natsu runs over and pushes part of the fallen wall off that fell on me. Coughing up blood he picks me up putting me in his lap. Wincing at the movement he holds me close.

"Why did you do that Luce?"

"I couldn't let you get hurt."

"Your going to live Luce, we will get you help. I wont desert you."

"I finally get to sleep in your embrace." reaching a hand up I stroke his cheek as tears start to flow from his eyes.

"Im here for you, I will stay with you."

"That's all I need, I've always."

"Always what? What is it you are trying to say?"

Coughing up some more blood I stare at him straight in the eyes. "I've always l...lo...loved...you" Letting my eyes close my hand falls from his face and blackness consumes me.

"Luce? Luce! Lucy!." Holding me close Natsu stands, still holding me and flames engulf us.

"You will pay, you all will pay!"
