Chapter 9
The town was silent, nothing moved. Everybody seemed to be grieving for their lost friend and family from the Fairy Tail guild. The guild hall was the most quiet, everybody just looking at the ground. It had been a very tough month for them. It's only been a month since they found Lucy, and buried her in the very same coffin that she had been nailed in. No one said anything. Magnolia was a ghost town. Nothing ever happened. It seemed that when Lucy left the world, she took all of the happiness out of it. One person was out, under the blanket of the sky. Natsu Dragneel sat upon the newly grown grass upon her grave, just staring at the grave stone. He came every day at the same time. Never doing anything but looking at her stone, never saying anything, never looking anywhere else.
"Look at what we have here." A smug voice said behind him. Natsu didn't flinch.
"Well, Natsu. Looks like you are very…..oh what's the word? Confused? Depressed? Detached? Melancholy?"
"What do you want, Damon?" Natsu asked, venom lacing his words.
"Oh, you do talk? I'm amazed."
"I'm not in the mood, Damon."
"Well, I am. And I'm here to see my precious Lucy." Damon said, now standing next to Natsu. Natsu forced out a laugh.
"Don't make me laugh. You murdered her."
"I still loved her. And, at one point, she loved me back." Damon said, laying down the roses that were in his arms onto her grave.
"That's not true." Natsu said in a monotone.
"Well, you wouldn't know, would you? It's not like she was ever in love with you."
"She was. You forced that secret out of her for us to figure out."
"No, she loved you. You never loved her back. To be in love, you both have to love." Damon said, the smugness back.
"Tell me why I shouldn't end you right here, right now." Natsu, still looking at Lucy's stone.
"Because you can't. You know why." Damon said, turning around.
"Good bye, Natsu. You should get a life. I heard you got engaged." Damon said, as an afterthought. Damon walked away, leaving Natsu to stare at Lucy's stone, smirking the whole time.
