~~~Giorno della Vittoria~~~

~~Chapter 2~~

Blink. Blink. The room moved from blurry to clear as Lucy wiped the tears from her eyes. Her hands were still a bit weak but she managed to use them to balance herself when she tried to sit up. She noticed that her surroundings was her apartment room not the battlefield. The birds outside were chirping cheerfully signaling another bright and sunny day in peaceful magnolia. This always happens when Lucy gets nightmares. Her body turns weak and her mind can't process thoughts as fast a normal human brain can.

"It…it…was just a...dream," she whispered. Her eyes adjusted slowly and finally focused. She shook her head reminding herself it was just a dream. This certain dream she hates to death. Lucy stood up and trudged towards the bath. She has seen the same nightmare again and again in the past month and believe me it has been messing her up quite badly. It even affected the way she did guild activities.

Steam was seeping through the bathroom door and the splash of water could be heard. Lucy got out of the shower, a towel wrapped around her, another in her hands as she dried her hair with it. "This is no time to feel depressed," her usual cheery smile was appearing on her face. "It was just a dream and its not going to bother me in any way at all!"

She hummed a song as she flounced around her room trying to change into some clothes while dancing to the tune. After she tightened the ribbon on the side of her head, she pulled the curtains wide open letting the sunlight spill through. Then she rushed out the door, racing her imaginary friend to the guild.

The guild which stood at the end of Magnolia, towered over the surrounding buildings. The structure was intimidating but it had a calming aura to it. Its one of those places you would feel safe in, no matter what type of disaster struck. Lucy opened the doors to her beloved Fairy Tail Guild. She was about to shout a cheery hello or good morning to the whole guild when she noticed the atmosphere.

Every single guild member was either harboring a sad and depressed expression or keeping his/her head down low avoiding all eye contact. The usual loud and happy noise that normally would have been heard was no more. When Lucy was about to ask Mirajane what was up with everybody, a single thought occurred to her. The only reason that could make the whole guild this awkward and silent. Her mind and heart begged that this wasn't the reason. Lucy refused to accept that today was 'that' day. Her eyes scanned frantically around for a calendar and found one just above the guild clock. At that moment in time, it felt like her world was crumbling all over again. When she saw the date, her worst nightmares were confirmed.

September XX, XXXX. Also known as Giorno della Vittoria, Victory Day in Italian. The day they won against Acnologia. For why she hated that certain nightmare was for the following reason. She didn't want to remember the day that her enthusiastic teammate disappeared from the face of the earth. Fire dragon slayer, Natsu Dragneel, sacrificed himself to defeat the Black Dragon of Evil, Acnologia.

During the time lapse of 6 months I approximately watched 15 other animes other than Fairy Tail so I lost touch of my inner FT fangirl. Fortunately, my awesome past self thought it would be smart if I wrote my fanfiction ideas in a notebook. Well, after me cleaning my room, I found the notebook and that's how I remembered I wrote a fanfiction.

I read through my ideas for this fanfiction and in the future chapters, this story will turn pretty epic. Thanks to the guys who are still hanging with me, love you all. Sorry again for not updating but you can look forward to faster updates.

See you next time!
