Chapter 8: Red, Orange, Hatred
I get up and notice that there is a smell of fire that is lingering around the house there was a note next to my bed, it said: Something that's red, something that hurts when you touch it but from afar it looks like hope, I run downstairs to see a Red and Orange burning Fire. The image of it burns into my eyes as I freeze with terror. I realize what I need to save, my picture of the cookies which Sting gave me. I cover my mouth with my hand and close my right eye to try and go downstairs and get the picture. I see the picture of the Cookies on the table, it was getting burnt, it was slowly turning black and crumpling into a .
I was about to run into the fire to try and save the Picture but I was pulled by the wrist "Lucy! What are you doing?!" It was Loki… He had a serious face. "Let go Loki! I need to get that photo… I can't lose something important again…" My eyes start to water. I blink and my tears start to fall from my face, down to my chin, it doesn't stop pouring.
In between my hiccups and sniffles I managed to say "..T..T..That's right! Aquarius! If I can summon her…" I try to run into the fire but Loki still has his hand wrapped around my wrist, he pulls me back and carries me in a princess style. "I can't let your life be in danger" Loki lowers his head and mutters "…I don't want to lose someone important again…" He runs upstairs and jumps out of the window.
30 minutes later…
Some water mages came and put out the fire for me, I was going to do it myself but there isn't any point if there is nothing in there to save… Loki right now is holding my hand and he has a tight grip around it but I'm not going to hold on to his hand. My lifeless eyes look up to the sky where the smoke from my house is, I put my right hand up and try to grab on to the sky, I whisper quietly "…Mama…" I look back to the ground and turn to Loki to find his eyes full of guilt.
"I'm sorry Lucy…" He says with a melancholy tone without looking into my eyes. I put my hand on his shoulder, I could feel his shoulder was cold, I say quietly "You only did what you normally would do… Its ok…" Loki opens his mouth as he was about to say something but quickly shuts it while forcing his eyes shut, without saying goodbye he disappears into small yellow orbs which float to the sky. As my hair flutters in the wind, I reach my hand to the door knob while walking slowly towards the door.
As I open the door a small sound of a creak is made, ashes fall from the door. I put my foot inside the house, as the things in my house crumble in my sight, it only builds up my anger and my sense of loneliness, I can't help but feel… Alone in this world…
I kneel down to what my album of my family photos used to be, as touch the album it disintegrates in my hands, I close my hands and put them close to my chest remembering what used to be in those photos. I clench my fist and grit my teeth as I think of one name… Natsu
I look to where the remaining's of the photo were, I brush my hand lightly on it and close my eyes. My thoughts began to fly like it was a timeline, I was thinking back to when Sting gave me the cookies, it was a very happy memory but right now, for me it's very tragic.
My eyes glance to where the piano was, "I hope that burnt down… It would be something that I wouldn't mind being burnt down.." I touch the door , as I push it… I see the room half burnt… The books were burnt but not the piano…..
I couldn't help but cry to the thought of the piano not being burnt. As I breakdown while grasping on to the piano I cry out "Out of everything that could have been burnt! It was something that I found very important but when I wanted it to be burnt… I doesn't work out!" As I weep while kneeling on the floor and having my head high up I scream a painful scream, it was full of sadness and anger.
Red… My vision is going blurry, I can only see red… I cover my ears and close my eyes. As I shake my head I shout "Someone! HELP ME!" As I begin to pour lots of tears, I start to weep really hard. All of a sudden I feel warmth around my body, it feels like someone's hugging me.
As my face is buried in someone's chest I slowly open my eyes and remove my hands from my ears I listen closely to this person's heartbeat, I somehow soothes me… It makes me feel relaxed. As I look up, I see someone's face, my vision was still a bit blurry. As my eyes focused I blink to see Sting, my eyes start to water as I bit my lip and repeatedly said "I'm sorry… I'm sorry… I'm sorry!"
As I was about to pull back from the hug Sting tightens the hug, I shake with fear but I hug him back, a warm feeling rushes up to my heart and I feel happy.
