Hey, sorry it took so long to update. One of my brothers was sick and he used the computer that I always use, so I didn't even bother. Oh! And I got Natsu addicted to Nickelback!
Natsu: I'm not addic- what does that mean?
Me: Just shut up and let me continue with the story.
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Fairy Tail or any of the characters.
Recap:
"Lucy isn't just in a coma from the spell Erza put on her," Makarov tilted his head down, unable to face the Dragon Slayer. "there's also another spell on her that's keeping captive in her dreams."
Chapter 12
Natsu just stared at Makarov this time, his jaw dropped. Yet again, he felt anger and confusion pulsing through his veins. This time, however, he was able to keep a calm façade. After Master would leave though, he felt that he just might explode. Sure, he's dealt with some cruel things throughout his life, but this? Thing after thing just kept happening to Lucy and it all felt so unfair. What had she done to deserve what's happened to her the last twenty-four hours?
Makarov sighed. He knew what was going on through Natsu's head and knew that he didn't dare speak. Of course, he couldn't blame Natsu. It was his nature to destroy things, not use nice words.
"The other spell was most likely caused by the mage who used the Shi no ame spell. Though, we can't do anything but wait to see what the outcome is, because those two spells mixed together could in fact kill her if we interfere anymore than what we have already done. The Suu~īto· dorīmu spell can be hazardous on its own, but mixed with the Shi no ame, there are several different outcomes. But," Makarov looked at Natsu, sorrow filling his eyes. "if she doesn't wake up this week, she most likely never will."
That set Natsu off. There's a possibility that she might not wake up? He seethed in his thoughts. Poor Makarov, he must feel like he's dying right now with how hot the room just became. Though, he can't completely be mad with him.
Makarov silently walked out of the room to leave Natsu with his thoughts. He knew it would do no good to either of them if he would've stayed. There were just somethings that you have to figure out by yourself, as Makarov knows quite well.
Natsu realized as soon as Makarov that the whole room was at a terrible temperature for normal people and got himself under control. Even though he was very concerned about Lucy, he couldn't help but think of how great it would be to drag that mage back here and punch him within five inches of his life...again. If that person-no, that thing- would've known Lucy the tiniest bit, he would've never done this.
Within five seconds after pushing those thoughts away, his mind got into a battle with itself. One part of his mind was asking exactly why did he care about this while another part was yelling at that part saying why wouldn't he care. Then there was another part that was trying to figure out these new feelings while yet another part was now arguing with that part saying that nothing's changed at all and he's just hallucinating that he's feeling something different. Lastly, there's a part of his mind that telling him that this is all a dream and when he wakes up he'll go over to the guild and see an unharmed Lucy.
With all of these thoughts, he got a humongous headache and dozed off, still thinking about what will happen with Lucy.
You know there's an explanation for this, you just have to think. Lucy thought as she sat on the floor next to the desk. It just didn't make sense! She should have been out of this dream long ago if finding the red door was the case. Of course, there just has to be something wrong going on here!
She racked her brain, trying to think of a reason as to why she can't get out. She just can't be stuck here, she can't! She might die if she doesn't go back to the guild, her family, or Natsu.
As she pondered through her memories, she found something of great interest. Though she wasn't aware of it at the time, when the explosion had sent her into a tree, there seemed to be the familiar tingle of magic within the explosion. She didn't know as to what kind of magic it was, or if it was a spell, but she knew that it was probably the reason she was stuck here.
This was just great! Not only was she stuck here, but she was stuck there because of magic! Not that she was complaining, or anything. She was lucky in some respects. It could be a lot worse.
She took a desperate glance at the book, thinking that it just might have an answer that can help her get out of there, when it started glowing a gorgeous red. She stood back up and just stared at the book, afraid that it might try to hurt her. After about a minuet the glowing stopped and then she approached it cautiously. She picked up the book and opened its leather cover and discovered something that she had not expected. There, in the center of the first page, was a card that looked like it had been one of Cana's. It had Natsu's face on it and at the top it said "Call Natsu".
She felt so relieved. She might actually had contact to the guild! There was only one way to find out if it works. She picked the card up gently.
"Natsu."
"Natsu"
Natsu shot up awake at the sound of her voice, all traces of his earlier confusion vanished. He couldn't have heard her, she was in a spell induced coma. Yet, it sounded so real and she sounded so desperate. It couldn't hurt to hope, right?
"Lucy?" Natsu asked aloud. He wasn't sure if his mind was just playing tricks on him or if this was the real deal.
"Oh good, it works!" He heard Lucy's voice go into relief.
"What works? And what's going on? Oh and are you okay? Are you injured?" Natsu said all in one breath.
"Never mind what works, and I was going to ask you the same thing! I'm just stuck here and can't get out!"
"Well, I don't know. And where are you?"
"It looks like Magnolia, but there's no one else here. Why don't you go and get someone who might know how to get me out of here?"
"Um, well, you see..." Natsu scratched the back of his head, not wanting to explain one of his current hand was still captive in Lucy's and he didn't mind, but Lucy just might try to murder him getting the wrong idea.
"Natsu, tell me!" He can tell Lucy was already getting mad and he was a bit scared. Yes, he was a bit scared. Although, who would want to go up against someone who could rival Erza when she was mad. So, in all reality, he had a right t be scared.
"Idon'tknowhowbutourhandsaretogeth erandyouwon'tletgoofmine." Natsu said with amazing speed. All he was hoping is that she wouldn't ask and that she didn't understand.
"You know what, never mind. right now we need to-" Natsu heard her gasp and mumble incoherent words. "I have to go but find out a way to get me out fast!"
With that, his head was empty again. He let out a sigh as the door opened yet again for the umpteenth time.
"Natsu," Erza said. She looked better, yet worse, from the previous night. "Are you okay? We heard you talking, but we didn't hear another voice." She looked worried. Well, everyone around here was worried, so it was expected.
"Yeah, I'm okay, I was just talking to Lucy." Erza looked at him like he was going insane, well, it probably seemed like it. After all, they didn't know she had contacted him somehow.
"I'm going to get you some food." Erza turned on her heel and left the room. She thought that he needed food to get some sanity back. Oh, if only she knew.
Natsu didn't pay attention to Erza acting odd around him. He could only think about trying to find ways to help Lucy and was wondering why she broke off contact. It didn't make sense to break off contact, unless she was in trouble. The thought of Lucy being in danger made his blood boil, also knowing that he couldn't save her from whatever was going on in that head of hers.
Even though Natsu strove to keep calm and figure out a way to possibly help her, he just kept getting angrier. His thoughts were in a jumble, as he wasn't even able to make out one from another. This was one thing he hated. Not being able to make sense of his thoughts. It was bad enough Lucy was trapped in her own mind, but to have his mind moving to fast for him to even begin to comprehend is too much.
He gave up and closed his eyes. As he tried to block out all of the thoughts that cluttered his mind, he fell asleep again.
Yeah, so I know it's not my normal kind of ending, but I have things planned for next chapter.
BY THE WAY! The other words that don't make sense mean "sweet dreams" in Japanese. What the spell does is once you go into deep sleep, it keeps you captive in there. It meddles with your mind, brings out some of your deepest and darkest fears, and can make you go insane. Also, if you commit suicide in the dream, you die in real life. One of the only known ways to get out of the endless sleep is to realize what or who you need most, what is most important to you. The reason the two spells don't mix well is because the first spell is only used to help others while the latter is used to destroy people's minds. In fact, if a powerful mage casts the Sweet Dreams spell on you, if you ever wake up, they can control you in ways that you wouldn't think possible. You'd be at their mercy, and also can alter your dreams however they want. While your still in the dreams the can actually learn everything about you.
Natsu: Why is it so complicated?
Me: Because I have no life really.
Natsu: I can't believe that you actually admitted that.
Me: Why?
Natsu: Because you always tell your brothers that you have way more of a life than them.
Me: And why is that important? Anyway, Please review and tell me what you think! Also you people need to come up with names for the dragon like creature!
Bye!
