No Matter What
Black far and wide was all I can see I was scared…I kept running and running but I got nowhere, it was like I was running in the same spot. I collapsed and cried not caring how I looked since in this huge empty space…darkness because there was nobody but me. I did not know where I was and that's what scared me. I lost hope that anyone even Zeref would rescue me. I was very familiar with this scary phenomenon because it happened very frequently when I overused my power even though this was scary I have never regretted it. Everything must have a price, ne? But I was comforted by a squeeze to my hand…then I started to cry again, I didn't want Zeref to see this weak and vulnerable side of me even though I trusted him.
~Zeref's POV~
This was happening again, that was why I didn't agree for her to be on the battlefield but Master was ecstatic with her activeness since she was a guaranteed win. I immediately jumped out the stands and leaped into the arena. I also saw that Titania stopped and began shouting "Lucy! Lucy! Wake up!" as the ref blew the whistle, the game was paused. We took her to the hospital, my teammates and I and unfortunately please forgive me… them too. Even though I told them that she could be more stressed with their presence. But the fairies were too stubborn and concern even when it was none of their business, I would've allowed Titania and Markov because Markov wasn't like the others and Titania was her opponent. I get that the fairies were worried when she suddenly coughed up blood and then collapsed. My thoughts and reflection was disturbed by Lucy's sudden groaning that happened, she would always hide it from me but I was always watching her, protecting her from the shadows. I gave a squeeze of reassurance, hoping that she felt me telling her that I was with her no matter what.
