Death
Everything in this world must eventually die. No human can remain in this world forever. But even though the person's body fade's away over time, that person will live on in someone else's heart. That is no different from Erza and Lucy. At this time, Erza is leaning over Lucy's body in the guild. One of the dark guild's had decided to ambush Fairy Tail late that night. Only a few members were actually there at the time. Unfortunately, Erza and Lucy were there. They engaged the dark guild and fought to protect the ones they loved. Erza was busy fighting off a group while Lucy and Mira fought another group. One of the dark guild members kicked Mira to the ground. He was about to stab his knife into her chest when Lucy tackled him to the ground.
"Lucy!"
"I'm fine! Go help Elfman!" Lucy yelled as the man threw her to the side. Lucy used her whip to knock the guy down. She looked over at Erza and saw a man sneaking up on her.
"Erz...!" Lucy froze and Erza turned around after hearing her. She kicked the man out of her way and ran to Lucy. Lucy had taken her eyes off her opponent and he took the opportunity to stab his knife into her back. It must have hit something important because Lucy was losing blood fast as she sank to the floor. Erza cried out and used her sword to slash out at Lucy's attacker. She knelt by her.
"Lucy..."
"I'm...fine.." Lucy started coughing up blood. She stared into Erza's wide eyes and tried to smile. "You're okay?"
"I'm fine Lucy...Don't die...please." Erza pulled Lucy's head up on her lap and stroked the blonde's bangs out of her face. Erza stopped herself from crying so Lucy wouldn't be anymore frightened than she already was.
"Er..za?"
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"I'm leaving...you." Lucy started crying and reached a shaky hand up to hold Erza's cheek.
"Lucy you have nothing to be sorry for..."
"I..love you..." Lucy coughed again and Erza could only watch as the blood pooled around her. She couldn't do anything. Lucy was dying.
"I love you too." Erza bent down and placed a soft kiss on Lucy's lips. Lucy smiled up at her and then everything went quiet. Lucy closed her eyes and her hand fell from Erza's cheek. The warmth from Lucy's hand was gone and Erza could feel the chills traveling through her body. Lucy was gone. Gone. Erza let her tears fall as she let all her emotions out. Everyone in the guild was crying. They had lost Lucy. Erza spent most of the night holding her dead girlfriend. The guild was completely silent the next day. It is painful to lose someone you love, but they are never truly gone. You just have to remember they are in your heart.
