Yo, I hope the last chapter wasn't too cheesy. I know it was quite an emotional scene, but I wasn't sure how Natsu would really react, so I just guessed.
Anyway, onto the disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail.
(Back to Natsu and the others)
Natsu, after a while, retaliated and got up. Him getting up was kind of scary. What would he do? Was he just going to leave?
"Lisanna.." Natsu finally said, making Lisanna jump in surprise.
"Y-yes?" Lisanna asked, unable to look into his deep, daunting eyes.
"..What..happened here?" Natsu questioned, staring straight at her, hoping for a reply.
"Well-." Lisanna started to explain, but got cut off by frantic yells.
"NATSUUU~!" Most of the people in the guild yelled, making Natsu look back to see them.
"You called?" Gajeel asked, recognizing the oh-so-familiar dragon cry.
"..Guys.." Natsu whispered, unable to really talk at the moment.
"Lisanna? Why are you covered in blood?" Cana asked, cocking her eyebrow suspiciously.
Lisanna slumped her head down, she just couldn't make eye contact with anyone right now. Everyone asked around, wondering what exactly happened here. They were finally answered by Lisanna, shouting the word, "listen", to make them hear what she had to say. She breathed in and out a few times to work up the courage to tell everyone. Though, just by looking at her sister's fear-ridden face, Lisanna had to say it. It was either now, or never.
"Guys..I know this may be hard for some of you to hear..but.." Lisanna started to say, her heart beating as loudly as a drum. "..I..am the murderer."
Almost everyone fell on their knees when they heard those horrifying words come out of Lisanna's mouth. Most of the people didn't know how to react. And the people who did, laughed. They laughed a painful laugh. Thinking this was just a cruel joke, they snickered and giggled, knowing that this just couldn't be true.
"Hahaha! T-that's very funny, Lisanna, but really, what actually happened?" Levy asked as her heart got heavier and heavier.
"..That is..what happened." Lisanna answered simply, choking slightly on her words.
"Hey! This isn't funny anymore, Lisanna. Tell us the truth!" Cana demanded, not wanting this to be the truth.
"CAN'T YOU SEE!?" Lisanna shouted out of the blue, causing a few people to flinch in surprise. "This IS what happened! I tried to kill Wendy and Erza! I KILLED Jazzie! CAN'T YOU SEE THE BLOOD ON THIS KNIFE!? LOOK!
"NO!" Lucy screeched as she covered her ears as to not hear those awful words.
Mira walked slowly to her sister through the horrible turmoil of the guild. Everyone was torn up, even though they didn't want to believe it, it was true. Lisanna killed Jazzie, and did an attempt murder on Erza and Wendy. Mira kneeled down right in front of Lisanna with tears hanging loose from her eyes.
"You..why did you-?" Mira tried to ask, but was cut off by Lisanna.
"..It's okay, Mira. I will get sentenced..but..it's okay, as long as you're okay." Lisanna painfully smiled, tears welling up in her eyes.
Mira instantly slapped her sister, as angry as she's ever been.
"You idiot! And what am I supposed to do!? Live knowing that you got executed wr-." Mira tried to say, but immediately got cut off by Lisanna.
"GET AWAY OR I'LL KILL YOU!" Lisanna screamed, holding the bloody knife at her older sister's neck.
"Mira!" Wendy yelled and pulled Mira away from her.
"Makarov..what do we do..?" Lucy asked, realizing that nobody was able to talk about it.
Makarov held in his pain, even though it was unbearable to give such a sentence..he had to. Lisanna killed Jazzie, and tried to kill Erza and Wendy. He clutched onto the right side of his chest where his heart was, and tightened his grip. He had to..even if it hurt him to say these words, he had to.
"Gajeel, Levy, Juvia, please, constrict her and take her to the executioner's office." Makarov ordered and walked out of the room, for he was unable to confine the pain anymore.
"..LISANNAAA! NO!" Mira and Elfman cried in unison, but were held back by Natsu and Cana.
"Natsu." Lisanna said, facing him while smiling a forced smile. "Please, keep Mira and Elfman away from me at all costs."
"..O-okay.." Natsu nodded, and dragged the two farther away.
Lisanna then looked ahead as she was being guided to the executioner. Her mother always said to keep her head help up high, so that's what she was going to do. And most importantly, with a smile plastered on her face.
(Locked in the Fairy Tail ice cream room)
"I don't remember having an ice cream room." Mira claimed, noticing the different ice cream makers.
"It was recently installed." Natsu exclaimed after he shoved a whole ice cream cone down his throat. "GAH! ACK!"
"Elfman! Natsu's choking!" Mira shouted, making Elfman rush to do the Heimlich.
"AAAACKK!" Natsu choked, but then was quickly relieved by the Heimich Maneuver. "..T-thanks.."
"It was nothing." Elfman said proudly and puffed his chest out.
"This is going to be interesting.." Mira sweat-dropped and looked around the room. Although this room was a dream come true, she was worried about Lisanna, and she had to escape somehow.
"Mira, what are you looking at?" Natsu asked, watching Mira's wandering eyes.
"O-oh! Nothing, I'm just looking around, that's all." Mira answered, waving her hands around frantically.
Natsu narrowed his eyes at Mira, knowing her real intentions.
"Mira, if you try anything funny, I'll be forced to restrain you." Natsu threatened, but in a nice, calm way.
Mira looked back at him and gave him a half-smile.
"I know." Mira nodded and sat down on the nearest chair. "Now..how to get out.."
(In a cell, inside the executioner's office)
Lisanna sat there on the cold, cemented floor, wishing for this to just be a nightmare. But, this was real life, and she couldn't change that fact. She closed her eyes and breathed calmly, hoping for this to end soon. She wasn't sure if she should accept the trial to save her life, if she were to do that..
Suddenly the cell door opened, and there stood the Executioner.
"It's time." The executioner said in a simple manner and guided her out of the cell. "Go in that room, please."
Lisanna nodded and walked right in, seeing a room full of her friends from the guild. Apparently, this was the judgement part, this part could stop her from being executed. She looked straight ahead and saw a judge. Yes, this was indeed where she was to plead her case. She walked on ahead, and stood right behind the podium, which was just in front of the judge.
"Now, I know there is an obvious answer to this question, but I must ask anyway." The male judge started saying, not keeping his eyes off her. "Do you wish to defend yourself from death? Or do you wish to go on ahead and die now?"
Everyone in the room gulped and sat there on their seats nervously, knowing that Lisanna would try to defend herself. She just had to! And when she does, they would cheer her on. Because even though she was the murderer, maybe there was a reason that Lisanna had to kill her. Finally, Lisanna cleared her throat to speak, and the room went completely silent, waiting for her reply.
"I wish to go onto my death, I do not deserve to defend myself." Lisanna answered, leaving the judge flabbergasted by her odd reply.
"I see. Executioner, please, take her to be executed." The judge ordered, wondering why that girl didn't want to defend herself.
"Understood." The executioner said as he took her away.
"Anyone who wishes to see her executed, follow the executioner." The judge pointed and left the dead silent room.
"Lisanna..why..?" Makarov thought as tears dripped down his wrinkly cheeks.
Everyone seemed to followed Makarov on his emotion, and everyone else cried, some deeply and some quietly.
"Why?" Everyone wondered. "Why would she do this?"
(Back to the ice cream room)
In order to stop Natsu's suspicions of Mira escaping, Mira began eating ice cream; Which, indeed stopped Natsu's suspicions. In fact, he even started to have a casual chat with her. Mira then quickly finished her ice cream after noticing this advantage.
"Natsu, do you mind getting me another strawberry ice cream cone?" Mira asked sweetly.
"Sure." Natsu smiled in reply and began making her another one.
Seeing that Natsu didn't expect a thing, Mira slowly stepped towards the locked door and unlocked it ever so silently. Suddenly, Natsu's arm wrapped around Mira's waist, and pulled her back.
"Natsu! Let me go!" Mira demanded as her legs flailed around in a frantic manner.
"I can't! I can't let you leave this room!" Natsu declined, keeping his grip on the skinny girl's waist.
"Don't you want to save Lisanna!? Aren't you worried about her!?" Mira cried, her tears falling quickly onto the floor.
"..Of course I am worried..who wouldn't be? This whole guild is worried about her." Natsu declared, keeping his tears from coming out. "But she will plead her case, and she'll be fine. Because there's no way she would kill someone."
"Natsu.." Mira whispered silently.
Out of the blue, there was a knock on the door, stopping the hearts of Natsu, Mira and Elfman. Who was there? Natsu quickly retaliated and walked to the door. He carefully opened it, and let in whoever it was who was knocking on the door. With further examination, it was Lucy who was knocking, and she walked right in and sat on a chair next to Mira.
"Why are you here? I thought you were rooting for Lisanna's case." Natsu stated.
"Well-, wait a minute..when did we get an ice cream room?!" Lucy asked, noticing all the ice cream stuff everywhere.
"Okay, okay! I refurnished the girl's bathroom into an ice cream room." Natsu admitted, angering the two girls.
"YOU DID WHAT!?" The girls fumed in unison. "ALL DAY WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THE BATHROOM!"
"I'm sorry! Uh..uh..ice cream?" Natsu asked, handing the girls an ice cream sundae.
"Whatever! I'll deal with you later." Lucy huffed in annoyance and looked at everyone seriously. "Lisanna..didn't defend herself in the courtroom."
"WHAT!?" Natsu yelled, completely shocked by this. "No way! Why!?"
"I don't know! All she said was, "I don't deserve to defend myself.", and then she was taken to the guillotine." Lucy explained with a fear-stricken face.
"Wait! She's not dead is she!?" Mira asked, her eyes starting to water.
Lucy checked the clock on the left side of the room, and gazed sorrowfully at Mira.
"She will be executed in five minutes." Lucy answered, causing Mira to fall down on her knees and weep.
"There's no time..there's no time.." Mira repeated, her tears never ending.
Natsu gazed down at Mira with a guilty concious, and he sighed deeply. He knelt down and picked up Mira, shocking the girl.
"We can at least see your sister off." Natsu said as he looked at her foggy eyes. "Maybe you can say your last words."
"Yes.." Mira nodded, though, she all ready knew exactly what she was going to do if she got there in time. It was decided.
WHOOSH! Natsu broke down the door, and ran out with Lisanna in his arms. It was only a ten minute walk from the executioner's office, so maybe if Natsu ran, they would JUST make it.
"WAIT FOR US, LISANNA!" Mira shouted as the executioner's place was just in view, thanks to Natsu carrying her.
(At Lisanna's execution)
Everyone from the Fairy Tail guild was there, hectically crowding around Lisanna as they said their last words to her. After everyone had said their good-byes, the executioner silenced everybody, and told them they probably shouldn't watch. Everyone nodded in reply, and started to look away, but they were stopped by the sweet, silent voice of Lisanna.
"Everyone, please look this way for a minute." Lisanna begged, making everyone slowly turn to see her. "I'm sorry for being selfish, but, before I die, can you send me off with a smile?"
All the people wiped their eyes dry, and shakily smiled for Lisanna's sake.
"Thank you.." Lisanna whispered and smiled back as the guillotine dropped, forcing blood to splatter everywhere.
That's the end of this chapter, and there will be more to come.
So, enjoy the cliff-hanger.
