Hi everyone, I hope this new chapter isn't crappy! I wish you're going to like it!
Enjoy!
Natsu's POV
"I must say something first. I've been hiding it since the beginning, but I'm feeling too much guilty right now and I can't hold this secret anymore. Lucy didn't deserve that. I finally understood how sweet she was when she… when she… when she'd rather let me end up with you than seeing me get hurt. So I think you must know the truth. Actually, the only reason why you lost your memories for a while is because of me." Lisanna said unable to add anything else as she started crying tears running down her face.
"What did you do to her?" I screamed out of control.
She fought her tears and finally regained her composure.
"Lucy's birthday has passed since a week right now and the horrible thing I did to her happen on this day… Both of you were walking together holding hands which was making me a whole lot jealous since I've been in love with you all the time, but you were too bling to notice. I felt like this girl was the only thing you could see. I wished I had the chance to be her and I did something wrong because of my jealousy towards her. That day, the first of July, I started following you people hoping you would give me a chance to tell you how I feel. I was stupid to think you might dump her for me and it was also cruel since it was her birthday. I knew it was since I heard you say it so many times with sparkles in your eyes like it was the most beautiful day of the year. And so, as I walked behind you guys hoping you wouldn't notice, I heard what you were planning on doing during this special day and a plan came up into my mind to screw up this special moment you too were going to share. I wish I could go back in the past and slap myself for being so mean. It was though a super bright plan I must admit. You people know what my power is right? I can take the abilities of the animals and so I chose the snake for this day…" She told me as tears started to appear at the corner of her eyes.
"I don't understand how this could have made me lose my memories" I said anxious and furious at the same time.
"I chose a special race of snake. Its bite has the power to control your mental. With this, I could make my victim see things that never actually happened. Though, it only has an effect on the person for two hours. So I needed to bite her in the right time so that I could manipulate what she would see next. I never thought it would be that easy though. I came at her house around four in the afternoon and lucky me she was sleeping. Mira gave each of us the key to Lucy's house so it wasn't hard entering it. Then, I bite her on the hand and try my best not to make a sound so she wouldn't wake up and it did actually work. I came out of her house and act like nothing happened. At that time, I felt great, because I thought what I did would work. I never thought things would turn out so wrong. Again, I wish I never did that stupid thing. I knew you two would meet in the alleys of Karakura Street because you wanted to keep the fact that you two were a thing secret. I heard that too. But again, it became easier for me to trick her. Since I knew she would arrive earlier, because Lucy is Lucy, creating the illusion of me kissing you on the lips was piece o' cake. She couldn't believe it, but it looked so true since this was what her proper eyes were seeing. She looked hurt and I satisfied because I thought that after that you would fall for me and we would live the love story of the century, but I didn't expect Elfman in his beast form to come and do this to you. Since you finally arrived, the only thing you saw was Lucy sitting on the ground preparing to die because she thought you abandon her. She really loved you and you were feeling just the same. That's why you couldn't let her die right? You had to jump in front of her and take the hit at her place. So, actually the reason why you lost your memories is because of me. I must admit that I feel a bit relieved this secret is no more only part of me. I wanted you to know this before the others tell you the rest of the story."
"So basically, I lost my memories when I try to protect her when Elfman was in his beast form. Is that correct?" I inquired.
"Yeah, but she could have died if you hadn't come in time" She said sobbing.
I couldn't tell how I was feeling. I would say it was a mix of sorrow and angriness. In a way I was dead mad at Lisanna for what she did to Lucy, but in another way, I was sad because I didn't protect Lucy when Lisanna bit her. If I had been there, she wouldn't have thought I had cheated on her and all this shit wouldn't have happen. I felt as responsible as Lisanna in this story thought I didn't hope so.
The other mages didn't seem to move, but I could tell by the why they were looking at us that they were utterly shocked by what they had just learned.
"Guess it's my turn to talk then." Makarov said looking like he was going to say something that could broke me to pieces.
I didn't like it. Lucy hadn't showed up yet and I was afraid that the thing they were going to tell me was related to her.
"You seem worried boy but you shouldn't" Makarov said.
"I am not supposed to tell you that, but Lucy is alright where she is" He added
"What do you mean? Where is she? I missed her so much, I suppose she doesn't know about the Lisanna thing and is mad at me for that reason, is that right?"
"I'm sure Lucy already forgave you and isn't mad at you because she loved you more than everything Natsu"
"Why are you talking about her in the past?"
"You'll understand why if you listen to what I say"
"Hurry!" I yelled starting to get impatient ad even more nervous.
"All of us wanted the old Natsu to come back. What I mean by this is that we all wanted you to get your memories back so you can remember us. But, for that, we needed to do a sacrifice that Lucy accepted. To cure you, we needed to put you in a traumatic situation worse than the one when you lost your memories. We needed to make you think Lucy was dead by using Lisanna's power, the same she used on Lucy. We did this because this was the most traumatic situation you could be put through. We knew how the loss of Lucy would affect you and so we were sure it would be a success. And so, Lucy wrote you a letter saying she was no longer here and everything. She had also left the information for the destination you must go to so you could regain your lost memories. This place was on the same street as your date on Lucy's birthday. Though, this time, an illusion was waiting for you. Lisanna bit your thumb while you were still sleeping that morning in Lucy's bed. You probably didn't feel a single thing because you never remarked it. And so you went there more depressed than ever. We could tell you had cried a whole by your puffy eyes and the fact that you were looking on the ground not looking at anybody. Though the worst was coming since the illusion Lisanna created was of Lucy being pierced side by side by a blade blood surrounding her body. It looked so realistic by the way you looked we were kind of sad for you. Though, we knew it wouldn't last long since we'd tell you the truth right away."
"If she's not dead, than where is she? TELL ME! I WANT TO SEE HER!" I shouted
"She said before leaving that we should keep the fact that she's still alive a secret. She thinks you're in love with Lisanna and doesn't want to see you anymore, because she doesn't want to get hurt. I do think you should run after her and explain her the situation. She may have said that, but I'm sure that deep inside of her she's still wishing for you to come after her though she doesn't want to admit it. Here son, this is the place she said she was going to. She said we could go visit her anytime soon. It's been a little while since she left so I'm still optimist you can rejoin her in time." He said finally ending me a short piece of paper with the indications lead us to her new home.
"I'll be back soon. Don't follow me. This is something between me and her so I'd prefer going alone." I said starting to run away
Luce, wait for me I'm coming!
How does it feel to know Lucy isn't actually dead? I know I pick up the weirdest reason to explain why she wasn't dead, but I had planned it since the beginning, because I couldn't make up my mind about making her die. NaLu is my favorite ship, I felt like it wouldn't be a NaLu fanfic if the girl died at the end! Be warned, the next chapter are going to be all lovey-dovey! This is a promise! If you did or did not enjoy this chapter, don't forget to leave a review, but please make it constructive!
See you guys next week!
