Hello lovelies, as promised, I'm back with chapter 2! I know it's late, don't shoot! I've been so busy, with school and a trip for my church youth. But here it is! To assuage you,
game time! (thanks, btw, got the game time thing from the lovely writer Hejmdal-writer of the first NaLu I ever read, called The Island-it's a must read!) So take a random character from Fairytail, guild or not, and dress them up in a frilly maid's outfit and have them clean your house while singing bohemian rhapsody in French.
DISCLAIMER: I, ALAS, DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL. WISH I DID, BUT I DON'T.
Chapter 2: Breakdown

Somehow Mirajane and Gajeel had managed to coax Natsu to his feet, and get him moving back to the others.
"Yo Mirajane. He doesn't look so good." Gajeel commented, gesturing to Natsu.
Natsu was walking dazedly, his head staring off into nothingness with a delirious look on his face. Mira sighed. He wasn't taking this so well. Seeing the others up ahead, Mira tensed. As they approached, she saw nothing had changed- Gray was crying silently and punching a wall, Erza was rocking back and forth holding her knees, Levy was hysterical, and Juvia was trying not to flood the area with her tears, but was failing at it.
Natsu stopped. "What. Happened." He demanded quietly.
"The one we were battling was a shape-shifter. She could change her form into another person, and use their magic, much like Gemini. Anyway, She transformed into the shape of Erza, and snuck up on Gray," Mira said, and paused as Natsu glared daggers at Gray. She continued, "Lucy must have realized it was her, because right when fake-Erza was about to kill Gray, she jumped in front of him,and was hit straight in the chest with a sword."
Natsu screamed. He screamed, the top of his lungs, screamed all matter of profanities and released his despair, before grabbing the sobbing Gray, and punching him with a flaming fist, sending him clear across the room. Pulling the ice mage from the rubble, he delivered many blows, punches, and blasts of fire, until Natsu could manage no more. Gray took it all without so much as a movement to block himself. he took the beating, and then continued to cry.
Natsu took a breath and looked around. "Mira, where's her body?" He asked.
Erza stook up, took a shaky breath and spoke "Shortly after she fell to the ground after her...injury, something unusual happened. Her body appeared to be, boiling, almost, then dissolved into nothing. It happened before we could react and know what was going on."
"Where?"
Erza pointed to a space on the ground. Natsu calmly walked over to the space where Lucy died, lied down, and started crying.
