Lucy
I stood next to Nashi as she told everyone about the eclipse gate, and how she needed my help so she managed to find a portal that was activated by the broken gate, so I'm to help her close the gate.
I could feel many eyes staring at me, but I ignored them as I listen to Nashi. As I was listening I looked around the guild. Everyone who I knew was now older, Mira was the Master of FairyTail! Wow, that's crazy. I could see that Juvia is a mother of three, so not only did she have twins, but she has another kid?! I looked around some more, Erza was next to a nineteen year old that had the same hair tone as her, the little girl who looks to be 12 or 13, with blue hair and a tattoo, sat on her other side. I guessed that was her daughter and son. A now large-breasted Wendy who looks to be in her thirties was sitting next to a older Romeo, they ended up together! Adorable.
Gray was nowhere to be seen but Yuki told me her father was on a solo mission. I saw Levy next to Gajeel, which was both shocking yet not shocking. AND SHE WAS PREGNANT! Wow, can't wrap my head around that. I can't wrap my head around ANY of this.
Everyone was here!
But there was one thing that totally confused me.
Natsu.
I knew I was missing because I was kidnapped by the very person who apparently is the one who's reviving the gate. But Natsu was not kidnapped. According to Nashi, today was July 7th. He should be here, I know him too well.
Happy's here (Talking Ryu and Charle.), That idiot would go with Happy for a mission even if it's a solo mission. And he's not here, if Natsu was here someone would of mentioned him, and knowing him, he would of been the first to greet her. Unless, he hated her? No that painting told another story.
Where was he? Should I ask?
"And that about sums it up." Nashi said, finishing the explanation, and snapping me out of my thoughts.
"We need a team to help us with this mission, therefore, we would like to request that, Ryu, Jax, and Fawn come with us."
"Our original team?" Erza's daughter asked. I guessed she was Fawn.
"Yes, plus Lucy." Nashi said, patting my shoulder.
"Then we need to leave immediately, we need to stop the gate as soon as possible." Fawn said standing up.
"Let's get going than." Yuki's twin said standing up, That must of been Jax.
"Aye!" said Ryu. We headed to the door when Mira stopped us.
"Nashi." She called. I stopped with her as the others left.
"Yes Master Mira?" Nashi asked.
"Happy birthday." She said with a small smile. Nashi looked down for a moment before smiling at Mira.
"Thank you… Master." She said before grabbing my arm and pulling me out the door. So many thoughts were swimming in my head that I didn't resist all.
Nashi's birthday huh? That must mean she was born July seventh.
"Is that why Natsu was not here?" I asked.
"What?" Nashi asked coming to a short stop.
"Because it's your birthday, and since you apparently have gone missing, he probably decided to stay home."
Nashi was quiet.
"Lucy?" Jax called out, looking nervous.
"N-Natsu-kun… He's dead." Fawn suddered looking down.
"WHAT?!" I screamed.
Nononononononono, this can't be true. Natsu can't be dead. NATSU CAN'T BE-
"HE'S NOT DEAD!" Nashi roared.
"Nashi-" Fawn started.
"He's not dead." Nashi repeated, her tone was now dangerously low.
"Nashi-" Ryu tried.
"NO! He's alive, just missing, I know he is." Nashi said a little louder. She started to storm off ahead but she stopped.
"And I will find him. And I will bring him home. One day." She walked off.
We stood there silence.
"We should going." Fawn said.
"Yeah, she'll be fine in a bit. She's probably just going ahead." Ryu whispered.
"Let's go." Jax said.
We started to walk.
"Wait." I whispered. We stopped walking.
"What happened to Natsu."
Jax looked at me for a moment before remember who I'm suppose to be. "He went on a mission…" Jax said.
"Before Nashi turned thirteen, Natsu-kun went on a mission, he wanted to get her something special as present." This made me smile, I always thought Natsu would make a good father, I don't know why though.
"You might of not noticed, but Nashi has a necklace she's always wearing, she hides it under her shirt, under it's a rare necklace." Fawn explained.
"A crystal orb with a eternal flame inside. Dragon orb. He wanted her to have it. Supposedly it held some sort of magic that would help her control her, uh… Curse. It was the reward for his mission. It was an S-class quest. But we never knew what the quest itself was. Nobody did, it was made specifically for Natsu-kun to do on his own." Jax said.
"But… Natsu nevered returned from the quest. He completed the mission, we know that much because the reward was sent to her mother by the Client. Natsu himself just never came back. Most thought he just went missing because he was searching for Igneel or something. But one month later a mage came with his scarf. It had a piece of paper attached to it saying "For Nashi.""
"That's when he was considered dead. No way would Natsu loose that scarf… Everyone was mourning, but you-" Fawn paused pointing a finger at me. "Were praying that he was still alive, hoping he would come home and show everyone you were alright. Nashi though… She went missing, she went searching for him, but eventually we found her, she was crying under a tree." she finished. At this point I were crying. That idiot… Why would this happen to him of all people?
"We should get going." Ryu said.
We headed to the train station where Nashi met us. We rode the train, nobody spoke to each other. We were dead quiet..
Nashi was crying in silence
THE DRAMA MAH GAWD. *Flips another table*
I'm going crazy with drama bombs.
Natsu: Why do I have to be the one who's dead.
Nashi: YOU'RE NOT DEAD.
Me: You guys don't know if he's dead or not, only I know that.
Lucy: *DEATH GLARE*YOU BETTER MAKE SURE HE'S NOT DEAD BLU-CHAN
Me: *Unaffected* We'll see.
Mira: Thanks for reading!
