Remember this chapter is going to explain a little more..

It all started with the demons escaping from the spirit underworld with no intention of ever going back. They inhabited all the dark mages bodies and even some human bodies. They infused their powers with the bodies making the ultimate killing machines killing everything in their paths. They quickly multiplied as they took down guilds and even the magic council. The demons are brutally killing all the celestial mages by bonding their magic and killing them with their bare hands. They do this because they know the only people that can stop them are the celestial mages.

The only guild still standing stronger than ever is Fairy Tail. The guild with the only and strongest celestial mage that there is left in the world. The only mage that can stop this horror that is going on. The only hope.

All the demons are on the move with their only target being Lucy Heartfilia and they would stop at nothing to get her. They will kill anything in their path. They will stop at nothing to destroy the only hope for the rest of the world.

It is a dark and quiet night through the Fairy Tail guild. Not a single light shown. Not a single word or sound can be heard besides the snoring guildmates sprawled on the floor. All the Fairy Tail members gathered at the guild for a purpose. To stay and protect their home and the targeted blonde that is currently sleeping in the back surrounded protectively by her sleeping comrades.

All of the members drank and partied the last few hours before they passed out sleeping. They drunk as much as they can thinking tomorrow would probably be their last day. Everyone knew what was happening except for why Lucy is being targeted. With the demons fast approaching they knew tonight would be their last night, but they aren't going down without a fight. They will fight until they can't any more and maybe even after that. They must do this for their Fairy Tail pride and for Lucy.

Layla's spirit materialized in the middle of the guild without noise. Her body glowed as she walked gracefully over the snoring guild members to her daughter's sleeping figure. Layla's brown eyes looked at Lucy with sadness as she ran a hand lightly through her hair not wanting to wake her up. A tear went softly down Layla's cheek. Lucy's breaths go softly in and out as she slept peacefully on the bed in the infirmary. Team Natsu slept on the floor around the bed protectively.

" I'm sorry Lucy." Layla spoke softly as her tears continued to come down softly in pain for her daughter. "I'm sorry you have to go through this horrible fate. You're the last of the celestial mage. You're also the most powerful one with having all your keys. I have never been so proud of you. You found a family to love and protect you. I'm sorry!" Layla sobbed as she fell to her knees next to her daughter. Layla's put her arms over her daughter and buried her head on the mattress. " I wish I knew some way to protect you! But all I can tell you is your death is inevitable. You can't escape it. You must die to protect everyone and seal the demons back to the underworld. You must be a spirit. When you get kill you must not let them bond your magic or you will never be able to help and the world would be doomed. I am sorry Lucy! Please cherish your life while you still have it! Please don't leave these people without your goodbye! Don't leave with regrets. " Layla got up softly still crying as she looked at her daughter. "It's not fair! Why do you have to go so soon! You are too young! You haven't experienced life yet." Layla ran a hand through her daughter's blonde hair again. Then she heard shuffling and a groan. Layla turned to the noise in surprise to see Natsu get up slowly.

"Lucy's mom?" Natsu said in disbelief as he rubbed his eyes and blinked a couple times. Once he figured that he is no longer asleep her stands up and looks at her. "What are you doing here? Didn't Lucy say you die….What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Layla immediately wiped her tears and looked at Natsu straight in the face. She chuckled as she saw the disbelief and concern from him.

"I did die. I am a spirit. I came to see Lucy." Layla said as she smiled at the dragonslayer not wanting to say too much to him. Natsu smiled.

"If you wanted to see Lucy why didn't you wake her! I know she would love to see you!" Natsu said happily as he moved to wake Lucy up, but Layla immediately stopped him.

"Lucy must not now I am here, Natsu! She can't know"

"How come?" Natsu asked confused as he scratched the back of his head.

"Because she can't see me! She won't be able to!" Layla said sadly as she looked down at her daughter in sadness. "Only I can see her. This is the first and last time I will be able to."

"Why is that?"

"Because….." Layla drifted off trying to think of a reason without telling Natsu that Lucy will die soon. " that is just the way things are."

"Why?"

"Natsu! What does Lucy mean to you?" Layla asked changing the subject.

"Well she is my nakuma and my best friend. I will do anything to protect her from those demons. Everyone in this guild would." Natsu said looking at Layla. Layla smiled sadly at the boy. She couldn't help, but feel saddened again knowing of how much pain everyone will go through soon.

"Do you love her, Natsu?" Layla asked. Natsu's face immediately flushed as he tried to avoid Layla's gaze. Layla chuckled softly. "Don't worry! I won't tell her…..but Natsu?"

"Yeah?" Natsu looked at Layla confused. Layla smiled again knowing what to say.

"You should tell her soon before it is too late." Layla said as she felt herself starting to fade. "Cherish her while you can. Make sure not to let her leave without saying goodbye."

"Goodbye? Wait why would she say goodbye? I don't want her to say goodbye! She is only sleeping now! Where is she going? What is going to happen?" Natsu spoke feeling an overwhelming feeling of fear and panic. He hand outstretched to where Layla once stood.

Layla's spirit disappeared leaving Natsu looking down at Lucy. Leaving in the dark infirmary looking at the sleeping blonde confused and saddened. He couldn't shake the feeling of fear of losing her. The snores of the rest of the guild members can be heard all around him. Natsu lifted his hand and ran his hand through her hair. Natsu knew Layla was hiding something from him while she was talking to him. Something important, but he doesn't know what. Natsu sighed frustrated.

"Weirdo don't leave me here alone! I will fight to protect you until there is no breath in me. Just don't ever say goodbye." Natsu whispered as he bent down kissing Lucy's forehead. "Please don't let your fate be something bad!"
