In a month everything was back to normal. Well not everything, everything except Natsu, who still didn't do anything. No matter how many times the blue cat Happy pleaded, Natsu wouldn't budge.

After the funeral was held a month ago

"Hurry up Loki, dig her out before she's REALLY dead" Aquarius snapped while Loki was digging a hole near the oak tree.

"It's not that easy you know" Loki the lion replied while still digging. Then he hit something, "Whoa! I think I got it, Aquarius help me" he said while pulling out the coffin. Aquarius ran over to him and helped him. Once the coffin was out, they quickly opened it and took out the pale blonde. They quickly put the coffin back and covered it with dirt.

"She lost so much blood, but luckily the knife just missed her heart otherwise she would be dead" Loki said as he signed in relief. He carried the blonde in his arms into the woods, all Lucy's spirits behind him. He was somewhere in the wood when he put her down.

"Horogluim, heal her as best as you can" Loki ordered the clock spirit.

"Hai" he replied as he sat beside Lucy while healing her.

" This might take some time, but as long as she's alive, we'll keep staying here, we will run out of energy in a few days so let's take turns, I'll take the first shift of looking after her you all go, but before you do Vigro I want you to bandage her" Vigro just nodded and bandaged her princess. After that she was gone in a flash.

Loki sat beside Lucy and looked at her peaceful face. Her angelic face could get any man she ever wanted, but he couldn't think of that right now, he had a mission on protecting Lucy and keeping her alive.

Lucy's POV

My chest, she thought, it hurts so much. But before she had any time to move she was swallowed by darkness. Where am I? I think I'm dead, but if I am is this hell? Thoughts and questions kept filling her mind. Panicking won't help Lucy she tried to calm herself down just ask for help.

"HELP! Is anybody here? HELLO? Anyone?" I kept shouting and screaming but nothing. It was all black. How am I supposed to save Natsu if I'm stuck here? At the mere thought of Natsu she started panicking again is Natsu ok? Is he alright? Did he get killed too? Suddenly it got hard to breathe I started chocking than there was a sudden gash of air phew that was close she thought. Then she saw light.

I tried to get closer to the light but it kept going further and further away from me. What the hell? Then I started running towards the light. The light suddenly got bigger and bigger and was now blinding me.

When I opened my eyes I saw Vigro sitting next to me. The pain in my chest was really hard to fight but I had to fight it.

"V…Vigro?" I asked," what are you doing here? Where am I?"

"Oh you are finally awake, princess" Vigro said emotionless.

"How long have I been asleep? Where am I? What happened?" I asked her.

"You have been asleep for about a month princess…"

"A MONTH!" I exclaimed.

"Yes a month, would you like me to answer the other questions princess?" she asked with no emotion on her face again.

"Yes, sorry" I felt bad for interrupting vigro, I tried to sit up but my chest hurt too much.

"Please don't exhaust yourself princess" she said as she laid me back down.

"Sorry Vigro, please continue" I replied as smoothly as I could, and yet still my voice cracked a bit.

"Yes princess, you are in the woods right now and the guild thinks you are dead" Vigro explained.

"Oh" I was sad at the last part. Do they really think I'm dead? If so, than I can't go back to Fairy Tail, I caused them too much pain. I signed, there's only one thing to do, "Vigro, I'll stay here until I recover, than I'm going to get stronger and go back to Fairy Tail as a different person" I said, Vigro only nodded. I smiled at her and went to sleep.
