Authors Note IMPORTANT! Ok. I first want to say that there is some…creepy...stuff in something that Damon says, and you might get a little crepped out. Just a warning. Nothing to serious, but not exactly not creepy. Understand? No? Yes? Okay. Thank you for reading, and reviewing! I really do appreciate it!
Chapter 17
Lucy's P.O.V
I shakily grabbed Nastus arm, pulling my weak body up. Damon glared at everybody, especially me.
"We won't let you near her." Erza said, re-equipping. Damon cast a glance her way before outstretching his arm. One by one, Wendy, Erza, Gray, Juvia, Happy, and Carla disappeared. Then, as Natsu starting to fade, I clutched his arm stronger. He turned his cold gaze on me, it warming when he looked at me. I recounted his words from earlier.
"No!" I yelled as he dissolved right from my grip. I turned to Damon.
"Where did you send them?" I yelled at him, anger making my words harsh. He looked at me calmly, mixed emotions swimming in his eyes.
"Don't worry. The fairies are back where they belong. Out of my way." He said.
"What do you want, Damon?" I whispered.
"I told you. I want you to feel the pain I did. I want you to end. I want you to do a many number of things. But, it seems like this will be harder than I intended. So, I will try again. Another way. But, how? I'm bored of this game." He said. I huffed, annoyed.
"You are never bored." I said. He smiled that one smile that I loved so long ago. The one that could make my heart melt. The one full of light, warmth, and jokes.
"I know. And I'm allowed." He said. I couldn't help the tiny smile that crossed my features.
"Why did you do this, Lu? Why did you leave?" He whispered, so suddenly. I looked at him sadly.
"I don't know. I was just sick of being told what to do." I answered as honestly as I could.
"You are the one that said yes. Why did you leave me?" He asked. I shook my head.
"I gave you up. And it was the hardest thing I ever had to do. But I did. And I don't regret it. As much as I would take it back, I don't regret it." I said truthfully. His gaze hardened.
"What made this unregretable? Did you actually love me? As much as you love that stupid dragon?" He spat. I raised my head.
"No. I didn't love you as much. I loved you in a completely different way. And I had hoped you would find happiness. I still do. You deserve someone special. Not me. And I will always love you. But, there is someone else now. Someone else's name carved into my heart, even if I'm not in his." I said, tears starting to form. His expression changed. It looked almost….smug.
"Yes. I know. The dragon doesn't love you. But I did. And now, no one will ever love you. You know why? Because if anyone does, I will carve out your heart and personally engrave their name into it and leave it on their doorstep. And I will use one of the many potions I have to make sure it is still beating, just till they see it. And then it will dry up and wither before their eyes. And then, they will know the same pain I do, if I don't carve out their hearts as well." He spat out, before grabbing the top of my head and violently yanking me out of my coffin. I cried out in pain as he dragged me across the room and out into the forest, towards the city.
