Hi everyone, I expect reactions from you on this chapter, maybe because something really bad happened (I'm just sayin') Anyways, just to let you know, the story isn't over yet. There is going to be three more chapters, maybe four. Even though this is the most depressive chapter of all my fanfic, I hope you'll like it!
Enjoy :)!
Natsu's pov.
That morning, I was alone in bed.
Where is she?
Feeling a bit worried, I started looking for her all around the house. I started with the kitchen thinking she would be preparing breakfast. That's when I remembered she wouldn't have a whole lot of things to cook with since I was hungry in the middle of the night and I casually (by this, I mean all) ate all of her food. I ended up in the bedroom, again, feeling a bit better since I was sure she had probably left to buy some food at the grocery store. And so, I let myself fall on her comfy bed and started sleeping again thinking she would woke me up when she'd be back, but that moment never came.
I was fully awake around 14h00 in the afternoon and she still hadn't shown up. I was more anxious than ever. Did something have happen to her, was she alright? I started walking toward the window, ready to leave so that I could be sure she was okay. As I opened the window, something flew away like it had lay there for a while. It looked like an envelope. As I picked it up and looked for who it was, I was shocked to read my name on it.
Thinking I might find out something about Lucy, I carefully opened it and started reading the letter she had left for me.
Dear Natsu,
If you read this letter right now, it means I am probably not there anymore. Makarov and the other finally found a solution to your case of amnesia. To cure it, you must come out of my apartment and go to Karakura Street. Since you don't know where it is, I wrote you down those indications so you can come in time and get all of your memories back .I'm truly sorry, I won't be there to celebrate the great news, but before you go I wanted to tell you how much I'll miss you where I'll be. I also apologize for leaving you there all alone without a goodbye, but I needed to go and I knew that if I had stayed a while longer I might have change my mind about an important decision you'll find out about soon. I just hope you won't be angry at me and that you'll never forget me even though I won't be around anymore.
One last thing, Natsu, please be happy with Lisanna. Even though she hurt me, please give her another chance. I got the chance to make peace with her before I go and trust me she had great reasons for what she did. I'm sure you two will get along so well it will be like I was ever gone. You'll have beautiful children I hope I'll be able to see from where I'll be.
Just to let you know, I will always love you, no matter what you do
Your best friend Luce
I couldn't speak. I read her letter twice to be sure I had understood everything she had said in it. As I thought about it, tears started to appear at the corner of my eyes. Understanding she wouldn't be there by my side anymore I let myself fell on the floor. Knowing I'd never got the chance to know why she broke up with me. Knowing I'd never got the chance to apologize for hurting her, all of this bumped into me all of a sudden. I started realizing how much she cared about me. Probably more than anyone I know or at least I used to know. As tears continued to flow, I remembered how I felt the first time I saw her when I was at Wendy's house. I felt like she was my everything, like I needed to protect her with my life, but again, it's my entire fault if she's gone. The only woman I truly loved…
Though I wanted to stop crying, I couldn't stop. It was too hard, it hurt so much. I couldn't support the pain. Did someone ever felt that way, like the pain is so much strong you can't even stand correctly? Well, that's exactly how I felt right now. I always thought about myself as a strong person that would be able to pass through the rough times easily. My ass! Like hell it would happen this way.
I didn't fucking cared about that stupid meeting anymore. All I wanted was Luce to come back. I wanted to live the rest of my life with her. Those beautiful children she was talking about in her letter, I wanted her to be their mother. I wanted to wake up every morning with her by my side. I wanted to see her childish grin every day, passing my fingers through her soft blonde hair. Kiss her passionately again and again. I was sure I wouldn't get tired of it because Luce was Luce. The only woman I'd ever love. Nobody would ever be able to replace her.
As I continued having depressive thoughts about my lame existence, somebody started knocking on my door, err, I mean Luce's door. I wanted to tell her she wasn't there anymore, but the words wouldn't come out. I couldn't say a single thing. No freaking sounds were coming out of my mouth.
Though I had tried my best to warn the person Lucy had left forever, I was surprised to learn that she was actually looking for me. Just great!
"We were waiting for you to come to the meeting" said Erza with her natural serious tone.
I didn't know why, but I was a bit scared of her. Was it because of the dark aura that was surrounding her? I didn't have a single clue. Anyway, I didn't want to talk right now. So, I just didn't say a single thing. She wasn't probably expecting this because she became even scarier.
"Actually, you are coming with me and this isn't a choice, it's an order!" she casually screamed.
"A…Aye sir!" I said thinking I might had pee my pants.
And so we started walking toward Karakura Street I guessed. I was looking down at the ground still shedding , I wouldn't have imagined something so terrible was waiting for me.
I fell on the floor not able to stand anymore.
"LUCE" I screamed terrified at what I was seeing.
She was lying on the ground not budging a bit. An enormous sword had pierced her from side to side. Her chest was covered in red, dried blood. Her eyes were still open, though I couldn't find any trace of life in them. Her beautiful blonde hair was all messed up and had taken the color of the red liquid as well. All of the mages were around her tears rushing down their faces.
It couldn't be true. She couldn't be dead. That's when I understood the meaning of her letter, more precisely the part when she was saying she was hoping she could see my children from where she would be. By this I guessed she meant paradise. I felt all my strength leaving my body and everything became darker. Everything vanished and in less than an instant I couldn't feel a single thing. Though, it was alright. I didn't want to feel the pain anymore. The pain of the loss of someone I cherished more than everything. I wished I wouldn't wake up anymore. I wished I would go find her in paradise, but I clearly knew that after death, hell would be waiting for me. I didn't deserve a happy after life after all.
I don't want to see the sun ever again
After an hour, at least this was what Gramps said, I regained consciousness. Though I felt different. Like something wasn't quite right. I clearly knew today was Lucy's birthday, but it didn't feel like everyone were truly happy about it. I wondered why, but since I was afraid of the question, I didn't dare asked a thing.
That's when Ice princess started walking in my direction. He was coming closer and closer to my face. Too close.
"Hey, just what do you think you're doing you stupid ice bastard. If I wanted to kiss you, I would have asked."
That's when everyone looked at me a small smile plastered on their faces. I didn't like it at all.
"What's with you guys? Did you just realize it was my girlfriend's birthday?"
"You've finally come back Natsu" Old man shouted trying to smile a bit more.
"I didn't remember myself going anywhere in the past few days"
"You've actually suffered from amnesia for about a week. You couldn't tell who we were."
"Oh really, I didn't remember" I said utterly shocked.
"Now, tell me where is Luce! I hope I didn't miss her too much since I probably didn't remember her." I said a bit excited about giving her my present.
"Should we tell him the truth right now" Makarov asked is face getting back to that depressed look he had when I had awaken.
"Yeah, I think it is the right thing to do after all" Gray said looking sad which made me feel a whole lot more nervous than I was in the last minutes.
