Chapter 2, peeps!
Natsu spent the night in a tree branch, but didn't sleep. He was outside of Porlyusica's house. The gipsy woman took Lucy into her care, but sent him away- she beat him out with a broom. He knew full well she hated humans, even the scent of them. She was the only person Natsu thought could help Lucy; this was an emergency. Natsu didn't think Wendy's power would be able to save a fading life.
Lying down on the coniferous wood beneath him, he tried to close his eyes, not necessarily for sleep, but to gain rest.
Instead, all he got were visions taking him back to the brawl with Forcen. He remembered every detail of that lard, right down to the scent. The thoughts came.
If only I…
I could have…
What if she doesn't...
She's hurt because of...me.
Natsu punched the tree, which shook violently to his force. But his mind continued to wander.
What if Porlyusica couldn't save her? What if Lucy...died?
He thought. There would be no more good food. No one to keep him from choking Grey.
No more warm hugs. Lavender and peppermint. His vision clouded, and tears fell.
Trying to collect himself, Natsu looked up at the sky. Stars scattered in a universe mosaic, gracing the ground with their presence. Natsu tried to pick out the constellations Lucy had once shown him. Orion's belt loomed overhead; Gemini to the left; Taurus to the right. Leo and Scorpio were found at the other direction. Virgo in the East.
Tonight, the stars seemed to shine brighter. Perhaps it was the spirits, Natsu thought, coming to watch over Lucy.
As if on cue, the north star above began to flicker, and the rest began to follow, one by one. With Natsu watching, he saw lines that shot across the sky in a meteor shower.
He stared at the raining streaks of light for a bit, and then curled into a ball. He didn't deserve to look at them.
I am sorry for the short chapters so far! I promise to write longer one's later!
I just wanted to get the ball rolling on this.
