"Luce? Luce?!" I started to panic about then. I stood up and put my hands on her face. Her head leaned limply against it and I shook my head. "God, Lucy!"

"Natsu, move," Wendy said, stepping in front of me. She put her hands over Lucy and that familiar blue glow shone over her for a second. "Her heart stopped," Wendy said to Mira. "Grab Laxus."

Mira jogged out and I heard her calling Laxus vaguely in the background.

My ears felt like they were stuffed full of cotton. I looked at Lucy and I couldn't breath either. I leaned my head on hers. "Lucy, please. Please." The sound feet and talking behind me. "Damnit, Lucy! Don't do this to me!"

"Natsu, stop. You're scaring the baby," Mira whispered. She scooped up the little girl and I could vaguely hear her little cry, but I only looked at Lucy's face. Nothing. Still nothing.

"Laxus, just a shock to the heart," Wendy said.

Laxus nodded resolutely, holding his hand just an inch above her chest, small bolt snaking out. Nothing. He put his eyebrows closer together and pushed out a slightly thicker bolt. Nothing. I just kept staring at her and I knew I was screaming or something because my chest stung and my eyes burned.

"Natsu, let's go," said a resolute voice in my ear.

"No. No. I can't. She needs me," I said through cracks in my voice.

"No, Natsu. You'll get in the way. They need the space," said the voices, a hand on my shoulder.

"No!" I yelled, turning to face Gildarts face to face. "I can't! What if she wakes up and I'm not here?"

Gildarts looked like something had hurt him, his eyes cast down. "I'm sorry, Natsu." Then he was dragging me out from under my arms and I fought against him the whole time as the room faded away from me.

"No dammit! She needs me, Gildarts! Please!"

In just a little bit, I was sitting in another one of the rooms in the Hall and Gildarts sat me down. He kneeled in front of me with his hands on my shoulders. "Just take a moment, Natsu. Calm down. They need to work on her."

I was breathing hard enough to hear it in my ears. As soon as he walked out, I fell to my knees on the floor and screamed at the ceiling.

I hadn't managed to save her. I never had.

Guys, I'm so sorry about this whole thing. This scene killed me to write out, but I got through it and it'll all be worth it later on. I promise.
