Happy, Grey, and Natsu walked the busy hall-ways of the hospital. Light shone in through the windows as the sun rose that morning. They were way to Lucy's hospital room, Erza had gone off to find a Crystal Ball Lacrima and contact the Guild. Natsu opened the door to Lucy's room slowly and his eyes widened to see the Celestial Mage was sitting up in her bed and looking out the window. Lucy turned her head toward them and Natsu rushed forward, pulling her into a hug.
"Are you ok Luce?" Natsu asked quietly and Lucy hesitated a moment, surprised he was hugging her.
"Uh.. yeah." Lucy murmured and Natsu pulled away, Happy flew into Lucy's chest and sobbed. Natsu took a seat beside her bed and Grey leaned up against the window pane. Lucy looked between Grey and Natsu.
"Didn't think you'd be awake so soon." Grey murmured after a moment.
"How are you feeling?" Natsu asked.
"Ok... Where is-?" Lucy began and Natsu looked away.
"Erza went to go call the Guild, and Frea is..." Grey trailed off and Lucy's eyes widened when she realized what he was trying to say. Tears formed in the corners of her eyes and fell down her face.
"Oh..." Was all Lucy could say.
Erza walked away from the nurse she had just been talking to and rounded a corner, arriving in a sort of small visitors center with chairs and magazines all around. A single Crystal Ball Lacrima sat on a table in the empty room and she slowly made her way toward it. Quickly setting up to get it through to the Guild she waited patiently for someone to answer. Master Makarov appeared on the surface with Mirajane beside him.
"Erza, what happened? Did you stop Kasumi?" Master asked and Erza sighed.
"Winter and Shadow were taken out of Frea's body and Kasumi was eaten by Shadow before we got there. We started fighting Shadow and Frea jumped into the fight with Winter..." Erza started and took a deep breath. "Were here at the hospital, Lucy got hurt pretty badly but she should be ok. Master... Winter, Shadow and.. Frea... they're all... Gone. " Erza said quietly and Master Makarov's face fell and tears appeared in Mira's eyes.
"Frea... Your sure?" Makarov asked quietly and Erza nodded. Master Makarov sighed and Erza could see the small tears appear at the corner of his eyes. "Alright Erza... come back soon, Ill tell the rest of the Guild..." Master Makarov murmured and the Lacrima signed off.
Master Makarov turned away from the crystal ball and stared ahead blankly, Mira had her hands covering her face and she was crying softly. Makarov peered up at her and sighed,
"It'll be alright Mira," He told her quietly and passed her, heading into the main part of the Guild. The Members of Fairy Tail were all in the Main part, drinking, laughing, and a few were brawling, his eyes drooped a little, this was going to put a damper on their cheerful moods. He passed the bar in silence and headed toward the stage, so everyone would be able to see and hear him. As soon as he stopped in the middle of the stage the noise died down and all eyes turned toward him. He took a deep breath and cleared his throat.
"A member of our family has been lost to us." He started and a few people gasped. "Frea died protecting her friends from Shadow, who had been taken out of her soul along with Winter. It has been a long time since we lost one of our own, but I'm sure Frea wouldn't want any of you to be sad for long. She would want us to move on, but..." Master trailed off and fought back the tears that were threatening to overflow. "We will always remember her memory."
Master stopped and noticed that almost everyone had tears streaming from their eyes, a few stopped themselves so they could stay strong for the others. Master Makarov walked off the stage.
...
"I cant believe that she..." Levy whispered and trailed off, the tears falling faster.
"So Silver actually..." Gajeel muttered from where he sat by himself near the back of the Guild. He had given her that nickname because her eyes were silver, along with her magic and the tips of her hair, and the markings on her face. He was one of the few people who wasn't crying,
Elfman was hugging his sister as she cried into his chest, trying to calm her down even just a little bit.
Frea had been a part of Fairy Tail for so long... her absence would be greatly noticed.
Eh... I'm not so good with sad parts... Sorry if this chapter sucked! Thx for reading!
