Previously:

"Impressive…. But you guys should know. The time you guys trick me is the time you kill your own friend. My last curse will be activated once I fully disappear. In 20 minutes, your beloved friend will die together with me." Akira said before he fully melted and disappear once and for all.

"Cough..cough" Lucy cough hard until blood coming out from her mouth. She then falls on the ground, clutching her chest.

Everyone turn their head toward Lucy.

"Lucy!" All of them scream her name.

Laxus is the first one who moves from his spot and hold Lucy's motionless body close to his chest. "She's burning." Laxus stated. Panic could be found in his voice.

"What is the curse he talks about? It won't hurt her right?" Gray asks the obvious.

"Look… It's on her neck." Gajeel shows them the mark. "Looks like…"

"It's the curse from the 'The Secret' book." Erza finished. If what he said is true we have less than 20 minutes. We have to rush. "We take less than 10 minutes to reach here, that's mean the same amount of time will be used to get back to guild."

Natsu come forward takes Lucy from Laxus hand and carry Lucy bridal style. "We can't waste any second. Let's go back now!" All of them nodded. They run as fast as they could to reach their guild.

It is already morning when the fight is over; somehow it is not a wonderful morning with the sky turns dark, a loud lighting and the rain started to pour. As if the sky portraying everyone's feeling right now. Lucy's body who burning a few second ago becomes cold and Natsu try so hard to warm her body.

'You're going to be fine Lucy. You're going to be fine!' Natsu assure himself.

Lucy who in Natsu's arm could feel the wind passing fast in every step he took. Lucy is trying her hardest to fight the urge to scream. It's hurt but she could not show it to her friends. She just moans in pain.

"Natsu. Are you and everyone alright? What about Happy" Lucy said softly.

"Yes Lucy, we are okay. Not injured at all." Natsu answer with tears streaming down his face.

"It's good to hear. Is it still night? I can't see anything. It's so dark here." Gray, Erza, Gajeel, Laxus and Happy hear every word she says. They just stare at her without saying anything or slowing down their running pace.

"Yes, it is. You shouldn't talk right now, just rest okay. We will reach the guild soon and Wendy will fix you up." Natsu convinced Lucy.

"No, I don't feel like… cough…. Stopping." Blood coming out of her mouth again. Lucy feels a few drop of water on her face. "Natsu, did you cry?" Lucy touches Natsu's face gently staining Natsu's face with her blood. "Don't cry, Gray will tease you for a month if he knows" Lucy giggle on the last part. Gray on the other hand, wiping his own tears. Choosing not to interrupt their conversation.

"It's just the rain. I'm not crying." Natsu defended.

"Good to hear that… Urgh..." Lucy clutches her chest tightly, holding the pain. She takes a deep breath and continues. "Don't you guys mad at me? I hurt you." Tears start streaming out of her lifeless eyes.

"No we don't. Remember the time you ask me if I believe in you and I don't have the chance to say my answer? Now listen. I believe in you, we all does. So don't ever have doubt in me you hear me Lucy?" Natsu said it stern but soft.

"But, why all of you come after… me?" Lucy questioned. She clutches on Natsu's vest seeking warm and comfort on his bare chest.

"If we don't come, who would take you home with you injured like this? Now Lucy, we're getting close. Our home is just a few meters away, hold on okay." Natsu hug Lucy tighter, his heart feels the same amount of pain as Lucy.

"I'm sorry Natsu, but thanks a lot. Thanks for everything you've done for me." Lucy's clutches her chest again. "Meeting you and Happy is the best part of my life. You show me the light and the light gave me happiness today and forever. We always fight and tease each other but deep down, we care for each other. All of you give me strength, happiness, determination and the most important thing, love.

"What are you talking about Lucy? We all love you, there is a lot of adventure will go through in the future. Don't give up now will you?!" Natsu sobbed.

"N-natsu, next time you should knock before coming into someone's house. Try clean your house once in a while." Lucy cough again. "T-then, don't fight with Happy over fish. You should not destroy the guild property too much okay. And… Lucy continues.

"Hei Lucy.. Stop that will you? Why are you saying those things? Why you make me feel you won't see me again?!"

"I'm sorry" Lucy whispered.

"Sorry my ass! Don't say any weird thing like that. Don't you dare…. Don't you die on me you hear me?! Stop talking Lucy, we're almost there!"

Lucy touches Natsu's face again. "I love you Natsu.. I love Fairy Tail" With that last word, Lucy's hand slipped away. She is fully unconscious.

"Lucy.. Hei Lucy…" Natsu stopped right in front of the guild. He kneels down, shaking Lucy's fragile body. "Hei Lucy, say something! Kick me, hit my head, call me idiot just say something will you?! Oii… Don't joke around like this. This is not funny at all."

"…."

"L-Lucy!" Natsu scream as loud as he could.

All of their guild member going out of the guild over the commotion. They are too shock to see Lucy in a pool of her own blood while the others just grimace over the scene in front of them. Wendy is the first one who quick enough to react over the situation.

"Lucy-san!" Wendy runs toward her and push Natsu away from Lucy.

Lucy's heart is still beating but too slow. Her pulse is also getting weaker but the weird thing is, Wendy's healing magic could not reach her.

"Tell me, what had happen?!" Wendy tone is demanding with desperation.

"S-she is being curse by the book in 'The Secret' The mark is the same as the book you show me last week." Erza answers clearly.

"Don't worry, I've found a spell to cancel this magic. The time is running out but I'm sure I can do this. Please call Porlyusica fast, even if the magic can be canceled, Lucy-san's condition is too dangerous right now!"

"I will!" With that Jet is running with his might to reach Porlyusica.

Wendy put her hand on the sky, chanting the spell.

….

A magic circle forming on Lucy's body with light illuminating her body. Lucy coughing hard until blood coming out of her mouth non-stop. Wendy did not give up and concentrate on her spell. The mark on her neck slowly disappeared and that's when she stops coughing.

All of them take a relief breath but not Wendy. Her heart thumping hard, she put her hand over Lucy's neck, hand to find a pulse but she could not feel it. She becomes panic.

"N-No way!" Wendy wailed.

"What did you mean Wendy?" Gray questioned, he knows the clue but choose not to believe his heart. There is no way Lucy would leave us like this.

"Am I too late?! I can't feel her pulse!" Wendy cries hard. She did not give up but pressing her chest, trying hard to make her heart beating again.

Laxus go towards Lucy and Wendy, sending some shock to her body with his magic. Lucy's body jolted up because of the shock but she did not show any sign she would wake up. While Laxus and Wendy not give up. The others just watching the scene in front of them, how they feel so helpless right now.

"NO! LUCY! OPEN YOUR EYES! YOU CAN'T GIVE UP NOW! DON'T BE SELFISH LUCY!"

"Please Lucy, please. I don't want to lose you." Natsu begs.

Everyone in the guild could not hold their tears. All of them cry even Gajeel and Panterlily let the tears fall from their eyes. They could only look at Lucy's lifeless body. Her face looks calm but her body gives the opposite answer. The dry and wet blood on her face and the floor, her bruised body shows the pain she went through. They could not believe their eyes.

They close their eyes and let their memories with Lucy rewind through their minds.
