Chapter 6: Faint… and Yumako

I opened my eyes, and found myself in my own room. Surrounded by worried faces such as, Natsu, Erza and Grey. However, one angry face in the corner. I sat up dizzily, and looked towards Erza.

"What happened?" I asked

I've never seen such a thing.. But Erza hesitated "You fainted that's all"

Her hesitation hazed me, and I had to think a little bit more for my answer.

"Uhm, What happened.. to 'him" I asked. I put emphasize on 'him' referring to my father which I was too ashamed to refer to as 'father' at the moment.

I almost did a double take, she hesitated once more "He's… Dead" She replied.

I fluttered my eyes… and shook my head. Then everything after that… was a blur. I got up, ignoring the light headed feeling in my body, and I ran. Why? I have no idea… Where I was going, what I was going to do. I just did it…

My legs started to hurt, and it started to rain- more like pour. I didn't no where I was going, I was just going. I wasn't controlling my body. "W-what do I do?" I panicked in my head. Everything started to blacken.

I opened my eyes in a weird room. Once again my head felt dizzy, I ignored it and sat up. A very dark room with lit candles forming a square lining the walls. A very familiar old man sat in the middle. My mind searched everywhere as I searched where this guy was from.

When I finally remembered he stood up.

"My name is Yumako, you are Lucy, yes?" His voice was very low and distant. He was nearly emotionless.

I nodded in return

"I have come to help you and your Father" He replied

I clenched my teeth. "What-do-you-mean?" I quickly returned it sounded like whadoymen.

"Your Father has requested my assistance, in returning your mother"

My eyes widened and returned slowly as I thought of "…Mom"

"Yes, exactly… Your mother, your Father ha-"

My eyes filled with unwanted tears, and my heart spoke to him instead of my mind "Is he really dead?" I asked as I played mith my fingers, to hide the tears in my eyes..

"Mmmm" Was his reply

I started to let go of my tears…

"It seems as if he is… alive. Yet, I do not know where. It's as if something is blocking my magic." He said robotically

My tears stopped and confusion filled my mind. I asked Erza and she said… He was dead..

"How do you know?" I asked stupidly

"I have a connection to everyone I see. I can control bodies, read minds… and bring people back to life." He replied, yet again with no emotion

I was taken back a bit.

"How should I trust you?" I questioned him curiously.

"How did you get here?" He retorted

I fluttered my eye lashes, 'How did I get here' I asked myself

"Mmmm, I guided you here… That is your proof"

My heart nearly stopped. Erza.? Why… Why would Erza … lie to me?

"Ahh… Yes, I see" I looked into his wrinkly face, and noticed his eyes were closed. " It seems as if she didn't trust you…"

"Wh-what? No… why would Erz-"

He interrupted me. "Who would believe the daughter of the man who has just kidnapped her… The daughter who has led them into the trap herself… The daughter who allegedly 'saved the day' all by herself" He explained, all in order as if he knew everything that happened.

"How did you-"

"I was following you.. As your companion… Grey? .. Yes a tough one indeed" He said as his eyes opened slowly.

My mind wandered back into my brain… Skimming the events that happened that day, I just happened to brush over the moment me and Natsu kiss-

"Ahh, yes. That one boy is a very powerful one, indeed… Yet you like him… now that's going to be a problem"

"I-I don't like Nat-"

"Indeed, Lucy I can read your mind… You must choose… Natsu or your Mother?"

"What are you tryna say?" I asked offended

"Mmm… If I were to save your mother.. I would need a certain magic called 'Dragon slayer' magic. I am a Dragon slayer… Yet I need extra power from another fellow dragon slayer. Now if you were to exclude the power of a dragon slayer… Then they would die."

I didn't think I just answered "So your literally asking me to choose whether I want to have Natsu or My own Mother?"

"Indeed"

"… My mother has lived her life…" I explained slowly… "Choosing my Mother is like killing Natsu myself." I explained… Why Natsu? But then another thought came across my mind… "Why can't you use a different Dragon slaye-"

"Why? Mostly because Dragon Slayers are hard to find these days…"

"Then I will not choose Natsu!" Tears fell down my cheeks, I felt as if I were rejecting my mother…

"Your mother may have lived her life… And so has Lisanna"

I thought about this for a second, Lisanna… She has lived her life, why does she get a second chance? Why does she get to have another life, and why does Natsu always have to be next to her…

"Mmm child, Indeed."

I sighed "I don't care I… can't do that"

Yumako looked at his watch as fast as any turtle. He looked up at me and finally spoke..

"Mmm… Child I'm going to have to use Natsu"

I furrowed my eyebrows "I told you, not to"

"Yes, but your Father has already paid me… So I will need your companion"

"I won't let you.." I told him harshly

"Trust me… you will"

My sight was blurred as I got up… I was out the door and then … black out.
