Lost
A white cloth had been placed over the faces of everyone who had went up against Crime Spree's Dix. All but Laxus had been badly injuried in the fight and even though they had succeeded in not being turned into nothing the massive lost of magic they suffered was too much for each of them to handle.
Each of them lay in the beds of the Fairy Tail's infirmary. Laxus stood at the entrance of the double doors. He shook in anger as his eyes were hidden from his lowered head. His teeth grinded together in frustration.
The other members of Fairy Tail stood around him at the depressing sight. A number of them cried about their fallen friends. "It wasn't your fault, my boy," Makarov said.
Laxus' body shook even more. The faces of his family flashed into his mind. "How can you honesty say that? There all…" One by one despite their best efforts to save them, the Sabtooth members, Lamia Scale and even their own had fallen at death's door within minutes of each other.
It was a horrible sight and the single day that past did nothing to ease the pain the Fairy Tail guild had felt at the true lost of their comrades. Of course Laxus had taken it far harder than any other with the lost of not only his team, but his beloved future family.
Sadly Bolt was the first to past away from the massive damage he suffered by Myra's attack. Since Layla was the first to be struck by Dix's power she was the second. Laxus' heart broke in two as he watched his future children struggle to survive, begging him to end their pain.
In no time Laxus was in tears when Layla took her last breath of life. Gray, Natsu, and Erza soon followed Layla's lead when they too left the world. Natsu left cursing Crime Spree while Erza asked Makarov and Laxus to do whatever they could to save the others and stop Crime Spree. Makarov had sent for Porlyusica since the group had first arrived. Still even with her best medchines she could do nothing to stop the wave of death.
Juvia, Mirajane and Sting followed the path. Yukino, Rougue, Chelia and Lyon had gone right on their heels. Laxus lost his team next with them all apologizing to him for not being stronger. The lost of his team broke the S Class wizard's heart even further. It had only been thirty minutes since he lost his kids. Painful tears roared out of his mouth that made all the weeping of Fairy Tail that day see like a small cry in comparsion.
Porlyusica seeing that she couldn't possibly save everyone decided to devote the rest of her attention to Lucy. Everyone already knew that Lucy was pregnant and she decided it be important to save the girl and her babies that were growing inside her. Laxus also figured if Lucy could be saved and they could put down Crime Spree for good then maybe he could save the twins' lives.
Sadly despite being devoted to the blond she was slowly reached her end as well. Laxus had been kneeled down beside her bed, holding her hand. A cold sweat was around Lucy's face as she looked at a weeping Laxus. Her hand weakly trembled in his hand.
"Lucy, please don't leave me too," Laxus begged. Lucy hadn't been hit by Dix's magic or Myra's, but sadly the back to back use of three powerful spells drained her in the worst way along with being on the grounds of disappearing magic. Laxus had managed to neutralize the power around his own body, but Lucy hadn't.
"Laxus, I'm sorry," Lucy said as strong as she could. "You all told me to stay here, but I couldn't help wanting to help my friends."
Laxus grabbed Lucy's hand with both of his. "Its ok, just get your rest and you'll be alright."
Lucy's chest rose up and down. "Laxus, we both know what's happening. You may not want to admit it, but I'm not nearly as strong as the others. Even Erza and Mirajane…" Lucy's eyes fell shut. Her head fell on the pillow.
Laxus couldn't hear her breath any longer. "Lucy, Lucy!" What remained of Laxus' heart broke in that moment as he lost the love of his life. The stories of his family: Lucy, Bolt, Layla that he learned about. All the time they would have together was shattered in that moment as his children too would never be born. He would never marry Lucy. He would never have that family, a family for so long he didn't believe he deserve or ever get to have.
Everything was taken from him. His family, his team, his friends. Crime Spree took everything worth living for away from him. He imaged the dark guild laughing in his face. The face of the so called future master of Fairy Tail.
A waterfall of tears ran down the strong man's face as he cried over Lucy's lifeless body. As soon as Lucy had died Bolt and Layla's bodies had disappeared, but the memories of them remained. The entire guild went into moarning from the sight of so many of their friends suffering and dying right before their eyes. Elfman and Lisanna were both by Mirajane's bed while Jet and Droy were by Levy's side.
The entire hall was filled with mourning for the rest of the day. Each of the fallen wizards had their faces covered with a white cloth in order to show respect for their deaths. Master Makarov had called the guilds to inform them of the saddening turn of events.
Laxus had been completely broken. He couldn't move from Lucy's bed. His grandfather tried to remove him from the room; however Laxus couldn't bare to be parted from Lucy. The dragon slayer had never felt so weak and worthless in his entire life.
Now he stood at the very doors that lead to the room of death with his grandfather trying to calm him down. No, he refused to be comforted. He had nothing left.
Laxus let out a fearsome roar as he woke up out of his nightmare. A cold sweat ran down his face as he breathed heavily. "Damn it, not again." It was the sixth time since the battle against Dix that Laxus dreamed of the worst possible outcome of the fight.
He looked over at the window to his bedroom to see that it was daytime. A light hand fell on the bicep of his arm, kicking him out of his own thoughts. He looked over to see Lucy lying beside him. She smiled sweetly up at him. "Had another bad dream didn't you?"
That's right, Lucy wasn't dead, Laxus thought. She had been weakened from using so much magic and fighting against Crime Spree was a boneheaded idea, but she was safe. "Lucy." He took the naked blond into his arms, pressing her against his own bare chest.
The two were still wrapped up in Laxus' blanket after making love the night before. Lucy had been able to leave the infirmary after just a few days and decided to stay with Laxus for the time being. Lucy rested her head in the nape of Laxus neck, hugging him right back. "Its alright, I'm right here."
Laxus pulled down his tight black shirt over his muscular frame. He had his back to the bed as he stood. "I'm going to go see Bolt."
"I'll come too."
"No." Laxus looked back at Lucy who was still in the bed with the blanket, covering her. "You still need to get some rest. I'll let him know you were thinking of them." Laxus grabbed his signature coat and threw it over his shoulders. He headed out of the bedroom.
Laxus walked up to his son's hospital bed. He looked down at Bolt who was still unconscious since the day of the attack. A breathing mask was over the young man's face as other machine worked to keep the young lightning wizard alive.
Laxus looked at his boy with uneasiness. "Your mother is worried about you, Bolt." Luckily it seemed Bolt saw Myra's attack coming and created a magical field around himself to minimize the damage. Laxus had gotten him to the magical hospital just in time.
Despite Bolt's strength though he hadn't shown any sign of waking up. Laxus came by everyday to check on him. Laxus then took his usual spot in his chair beside the bed and began to watch him for his usual four hours.
Laxus finally made it to the guild hall after their seemed to be no change in Bolt. The members that were at the guild didn't bother to greet Laxus, knowing the reason he was there. The dragon slayer made his way to the infirmary. "Any changes, Porlyusica?"
"I there were any changes I would have told you already," the old witch responded.
Laxus looked at the other people that had been in the battle against Dix. All of them were out cold since they arrived back at the guild even Natsu. The hyper dragon slayer would usually be up in no time, but still lay slient and asleep. This was the sorce of his nightmares.
He tensed up at the thought. He didn't want to lose any of them. He took a seal near Freed's and Bickslow's beds, deciding he wait to see if there be any changes.
Porlyusica eyed the young man. "Honesty, you sitting there won't do anything for them."
Laxus didn't care. It was the only thing that kept him sane at the moment. He hadn't been strong or fast enough to stop this from happening. He felt completely pathetic. Footsteps approached the lightning dragon slayer, getting his attention.
Laxus stood up. "Lucy, what are you doing here? I told you to stay in bed."
"I was worried about everyone too, Laxus." The beautiful mother to be rested her hand on her boyfriend's chest that slightly unsettled the man. Lucy looked into Laxus' cold gray eyes. "And I was worried about you."
"Me?"
Lucy rested her head on the other blonde's chest. "I know how much this has affected you. I can rest here and make sure you're alright too."
"Thanks, Lucy."
