Chapter 23
Lucy's nightmare

(Nastu's POV)

"Stay with me Luce! Dont die! Dont die!" I screamed in a hushed tone. Her lips where turning a sick blue from the lack of 'oxigene'. I heard her say this before she completely pasted out, but it was only me because of my hearing; "N-Natsu, Im not dying... Im just taking a nap f-for a while... Would you g-get me some water a-and f-ood for when I wake up...?" And of course I said: "Yes."

I would never say no to a dying person, wait! What am I saying?! Luce isnt going to die! She is going to live... She has to live! I dont know what I would do if she would be to die!

So when they take her back to her room, I am releaved to know she will be alright, for now...

So now im waiting in her room, for her to wake up, with a glasse of water and some apple slices in a plate, on the table. "Natsu..." I turned my head torward the voice. "Luce, your awake?" I asked. No answer.

A few momments after, she said: "NATSU! No! Wait!" "Lucy?" No answer again. "Don't leave me! Don't leave me Natsu!" She was crying in her sleep. Every tear was like a stab to my heart; I didnt like to see her like this. I rose from my seat and I stood beside her bed. "Lucy! It's okay. I am not leaving you. You are safe." I try to calm her down(not easy because she is sleeping), but everything I try is not working. I just sit beside her bed, I claps my hands on my ears for stopping her sobs. Suddenly, she stop crying. I think her nightmare was finished, but I am still bothered for something. My eyes start to close and I fall asleep.

"NATSU!" I woke up in a record of time when someone screached my name. I look at Lucy; she is covered in a cold sweat and she was crying again. "Oh no! Luce!" I touch her hand and she suddenly woke up in fear. She turned her beautyful eyes to meet mine, and she hugs me, tears streaming down her face. "Oh Natsu! I was so scared! In that dream, you where leaving me! You said that I would never be good enough for you. I was alone in the dark and..." She can't continue because she was crying too much. "Luce! I would never gonna leave you! Don't be scared for this... It was only a bad dream." I tried to console her, but she return no reaction. God! This nightmare scared her really bad!

"NATSU, SAY SOMETHING!" This one scentence scared all the daylight I would have had left. "Luce... I am talking... Can you hear me...?" I was scared if I didnt get any answer. And as I thought: there was silence. "Natsu...? Why are your lips moving, but you are'nt making any noise?" I almost fainted this time. I feel all the blood in my veins freeze in realisation. "Everything is ok. Just sleep and everything is gonna be better tomorow." I said, articulating all the syllables. She nods her head and retreats in the world of peace and dreams. And no longer after, I joined her.
