I'M BAAACKK! Holy crap! I'm the biggest jerk on the planet and I sincerely apologize for uploading so late. I could give you a million excuses as to why I haven't been active in a while but I'm just going to straight out say that school and extra-curricular stuff got in the way and I just didn't have the time. I'm on a break now though, so hopefully I'll be able to write more! Super special thanks to Gruviaislife and LevyMcGardenSolidScriptMagic (whew long username to type but still awesome;) Looking at my phone and seeing Levy's review and Gruvia's made my heart happy….so thanks you two! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Back to writing disclaimers…just another way to lower my self confidence…I don't own fairy tail…I like ellipses…okay I'm done…
Chapter 6: Nightmare
Summary: Natsu has a nightmare that really freaks him out. Of course Lucy is there to make him feel better!
Natsu's POV
It was a quiet day at the guild, which was strange since there was always a fight or something of the sorts. As I was walking in, dark storm clouds appeared out of nowhere, but I disregarded that fact completely. For some reason, I felt as if I was being controlled while I walked over to the request board and grabbed a job. My hand immediately shot forward and grabbed a paper from a client who requested that we wipe out an entire dark guild.
"No, it's too dangerous!" I wanted to yell, but I couldn't find my voice.
Walking over to Mirajane, I relaxed a bit assuming that she would stop me from taking the job, but instead the scene shifted and I was walking on a path that led to the dark guild while Lucy, Erza, Gray, and Happy followed me.
"We can't do this! Even I think this is way too dangerous!" This time I was able to speak, but it was as if the others couldn't hear me.
We arrived at the guild hall belonging to Crimson Skull, the dark guild we were supposed to destroy.
The scene shifted once again, and this time we seemed to be battling with the guild members. Everyone around me was fighting, but I wasn't able to move and join in. I looked to the side when I heard Gray yell out in pain.
"Typical Gray. Too weak to-" I stopped and my eyes widened as he was hit by dark magic. He proceeded to fall to the floor, letting out the last breath he would ever take.
"Gray, NO!" My voice was gone once again and everything seemed to be going in slow motion.
I turned to where Erza was, only to see her on the ground as well. Her brown eyes forever unseeing and opened permanently.
"ERZA!" Still, no sound came out of my mouth
Just as I thought I would be able to move and help my remaining two guild mates, I heard a heartbreaking cry come from a certain blue exceed. I whipped around and watched as my best friends wings disappeared, and he fell to the floor, lifeless.
"Happy…" I whispered, even though I knew full well that I had no voice.
Now that three out of the five of us had been k-…put to rest, I searched frantically for my remaining friend. After about a minute, I found her. Lucy continued to fight, calling out spirit after spirit. For a moment, I thought that we were going to make it out of this alive, until a piercing scream reached my ears.
My eyes became even wider and my jaw dropped while I watched Lucy being pinned up against a wall, a sword made of dark magic pointed at her stomach. I tried to run to her, but my attempts were to no avail as I still wasn't able to move. The dark mage smirked and let the sword pierce through Lucy, another scream escaping her lips.
"LUCY!" I yelled, this time my voice returning.
The key mage slowly looked up and gave me a sad smile, blood trickling down her lip, before her head fell back down onto her chest and her body went limp.
"Lucy…LUCY NO!" I shouted, running over to my friend as she fell from the wall she was previously pinned up against. By this point, I didn't notice I was able to move again.
Before she could hit the ground, I caught the celestial spirit wizard and turned my head, watching as the members of the dark guild dissipated until only Erza, Gray, Happy, Lucy, and I remained. Everything turned black around us.
"Lucy please stay with me, please don't go…you can't leave me." I said, hoping to at least hear a faint heartbeat in that cold, pale, still body of hers.
"Open your eyes Lucy, come on. We have more adventures to go on…you still have to pay your rent…everyone at the guild will want you to stay." I whispered, now realizing that her eyes were open. The only problem with them was that they held no life.
Tears poured down my face, sobs racking my body while I held Lucy closer to me, hugging her with all my strength as if that would make her come back to me.
"LUCCYYY!"
-\(._.)/-
"LUUUUCCCCYYYY!" I yelled, shooting up in bed with a thin layer of sweat covering my forehead.
I gaped at my surroundings, not realizing where I was until I felt the familiar pink sheets and warm body sitting up next to mine running a hand through my hair in an attempt to calm me down.
"Natsu?" A female voice asked.
I quickly turned my attention to the person that voice belonged to.
"Lucy!" I exclaimed, wrapping my arms around her and nuzzling my head in the crook of her neck, taking in as much of her scent as I could.
"Natsu…you just had a nightmare is all…I'm right here." Lucy said soothingly, calming me down a bit.
"I know." I whispered, not pulling away from her.
We sat there for who knows how long, until I felt my eyes droop as I drifted back to sleep.
This time, my dream was located in Magnolia in front of the guild hall. I was holding hands with Lucy while she smiled at me.
"You okay now?" She asked, still smiling.
"Yeah." I answered, giving her my goofy trademark grin that I know she loves so much.
The guild hall doors opened, and we walked in, our fingers still entwined.
Everything was back to normal with Gray, Erza, and Happy all smiling and joyful.
No matter what, as long as I had Lucy by my side, I knew everything was going to be alright.
Ahhh I personally loved that one! This one was a bit longer to make up for my absence;) I hope you liked this one shot and don't forget that I love to see your reviews! See ya later!
