It was dark. All she could see was black. Not a single light source in eye sight. "Hello? Anyone there? Hello? Can someone please help me? Hello? Where am I? " she called. It's cold…I wish Natsu was here, he would keep me warm… him and his warm blood… The thought of it made her giggle. She swam through the darkness. "Where is the damn freakin exit. I wanna get outta here and see Natsu already." She whined. "Where is Natsu by the way." She thought aloud. A sharp pain abruptly shot through her head. She gasped and clutched her golden locks. "uhhhhh… urrggggg… AHHH!" Her quiet moans soon turned into full out screams. "AHHHH! ARRGG! MAKE IT STOP!" She screamed. Images appeared and disappeared within seconds, racing through her brain, her eyes wide open, pupils dilated and unfocused.

We will meet again, I promise. Kay?

Sorry, I'll be careful.

I gotta do this.

"NATSU!"

I love you guys.

You need to continue on without me.

Stay! I wanna see you before I go.

"AHHHH! ARGGGG! MAKE IT STOP PLEASE! I CAN'T FOCUS!" She cried in agony. Another memory came across her mind, this time though staying longer.

"LUCY! DON'T DO THIS! WE NEED YOU! PLEASE!" the raven haired boy called. "Gray.." she called.

"Please. Don't do this. I want you to stay." The silver girl cried. "Lisanna?… what's happening?" she said to herself, desperately confused.

"Don't do this Lucy!" the scarlet mage screamed. "What? Erza? I- I don't get what's going on?" she cried in frustration.

"LUCY!" the pink haired boy roared, tears streaming down his face. "OK! WHAT THE FUQ IS GOING ON!" the girl hollered. Then the memories hit her like a sledge hammer was slammed into her. Her eyes widened in shock and realization. "I'm dead. I died. For the world. For Natsu." Tears leaked from her eyes as she cradled her face. She wiped her tears and tried to put up a bold face. No. I chose this. I chose to die for my comrades… for Natsu… with the thought of the silly pink hair boy she burst into tears again. "I won't be able to talk to him or touch him anymore won't I" she thought while crying.

"My dear Lucy, don't cry!" an angelic voice sang to her. Lucy opened her tear filled eyes and tilted her tear streaked face to the sound.

"Mom? Is that really you?!" she gasped with shock. Her tears and sadness forgotten. The blonde figure smiled gently at the crying girl. "MOM!" Lucy shouted tears returning to her sight, but not tears of sadness, no, the tears of happiness of seeing her dead mother. She floated to her figure before tackling her full on.

"Oh my! Dear! Yes, yes I missed you too sweetie~" the mother cooed to her now sobbing 17 year old child. "Lucy. You need to listen to me. We don't have that much time left." The blonde mother sternly told Lucy. Lucy immediately stopped her sobbing and remove herself from her mother.

"Am I dead mother?" Lucy asked with curiosity. "Cause I thought heaven was suppose to look pretty." She pouted.

The mother chuckled at her daughters silly pout. "No dear. Not yet. It isn't your time yet."

"Eh? So then why am I here?" Lucy then asked.

"Lucy listen very carefully. You didn't die. When we stellar mages over use our magic, we don't die we turn into dust for a while until we regain our magic. The thing though is that we never fully recover our magic. We end up learning a different one to replace the magic we lost. Don't look at me like that! You will still be able to summon your spirits but not for long. You will never be able to regain the stellar magic you lost, but you can replace it. But you must start learning it immediately after awakening. No time is wasted. That means that you can't go to your friends as soon you wake. You must search for a magical source you can learn from. If not you could truly die from lack of magic a second time. You hear me Lucy." Lucy sharply nodded. Layla breathed in relief. "Good. Now you will awaken near a magic source, but it your job to find it understood. Don't give up hope that it isn't there. It will." She sternly insisted.

"Alright mother." Lucy only replied. White started to invade Lucy sights. "Wh-what's going on!? Mom?" Lucy called. It was getting very dizzy for her.

"It's time. Lucy, good luck. Don't forget. It is always there." Her mother's last words rang through her ears as the white completely took her to unconsciousness.

In Lucy's apartment…

Natsu's POV

I didn't need to move. I could stay here forever. Forever. Forever. Forever wrapped in Lucy's covers along with her summery scent. I don't need anything else. I just needed her. And now she was gone. Gone forever. Just the thought of her last words brought tears in my eyes. I single tear fell from my eye to the comforter. If Lucy was here, she would have screamed at him to get out of her bed, the out of her house. Lucy… I miss you Lucy. I miss your weirdness. I miss your screams, your cute pouts, your pissed off face. I miss you so much. I miss your eyes, your scent, your voice, your hair. I love you Lucy. Why you. Why you out of the people in the world why you? "Lucy…" I chocked back a sob. I couldn't hold it anymore. "Lucy… Lucy… please come back… I miss you… Fairy Tail misses you… please come home… please I love you… I can't survive without you. Please. Come home." I cried. A sob wracked my body. A pitiful wail escaped my mouth.

"Natsu…" a small voice called to me. I slowly looked up at the open window and there looking pitiful at me was Happy.

"Natsu… it's ok… we all miss Lucy… we know how you feel… so please… don't cry alone… we're here for you too…" Happy choked, his voice cracking at the end. I felt a little ashamed. I knew that Happy was also devastated about Lucy's death. He almost thought of her as a mother.

"Come here you little pipsqueak." I said with open arms. Happy wailed and flew into my chest. His tiny sobs vibrating through my body. I stroked his head tenderly as silent tears caressed my face. He was right. I didn't need to face this alone. Everyone would be sad about this. No not sad, devastated. I needed to help everyone go through this too, they would help me as well.

"You know Natsu, I wish Lucy was here. She would have fish in her kitchen and yell at us for sneaking into her house and you accidently seeing her change." With Happy's comment a small blush made its way to my face. The memory of Lucy in her bra and panties will always be buried into my head. Along with the hand that smacked my head as well. "You liiiike her!" he snickered.

"Sh-shut up!" I cursed my stuttering. Happy only laughed.

"Admit it! You liiike her!" He shouted. I blushed crimson. Damnit! Happy and his damn teasing!

"I don't like her Happy. I l-l-love her… but she isn't here now." I said softly. Happy's boisterous laughing slowly quieted down.

"I think she liked you too Natsu, if that makes you feel better." Happy called softly. I smiled.

"Yah…" I grinned. And that's how I and Happy were until sleep finally took us into its dark pleasant slumber. Lucy…

Somewhere in Mongolia…

A dark shadow moved with remarkable speed, almost a shadow itself. Damn you Layla… I already have too much on my hands… just don't blame me if it doesn't turn out the way you expected… the figure stopped at a nearby cliff staring at the full moon that reflected into the sea's dark blue waves. "Just to warn you, this won't be an easy task… Lucy Heartfilia." I said with a grin on its face before it howled into the night and disappeared.
