Angelic Blood [Fairy Tail/Nalu Fanfic]

Chapter 28: Visions Of Pain

-Natsu P.O.V-
I heard it. It was faint, but I still heard it. I stood up from the table where I was eating Happy's meal, and looked towards the direction the sound had came from.
"Natsu?" Happy asked, flying by my side.
"Nashi..." I muttered. I then immediately barged through the door and ran as fast as I could.
"N-Nats- Wait!" Happy said, trying to finish his meal and follow me at the same time. I ignored everything around me, and only stared straight ahead. I was there shortly- I had ran faster then I knew I ever could. I charged up the stairs, and rushed into Lucy's apartment. Nashi was sitting by the window, and she looked over to me as I entered. I could sense her fear the minute I stared into her menacing blue eyes. She slowly pointed to the kitchen, then shook her head.
"Natsu? Who's that?" Happy asked. I stared at Nashi, confused, but entered the kitchen anyway, leaving Happy to care for her. When I got to the kitchen, I found Lucy, crouched on the floor, trembling. I looked back at Nashi, but she was calmly staring out the window, ignoring Happy's comforting words as he sat beside her.
"Lucy? Can you hear me?" I asked. I looked into her eyes, and they were not in focus. She was completely blind to me.
What is she seeing? I thought.
"I-I'm sorry..." She muttered, as tears began to stream down her face.
Hallucinations... I thought again. She was completely petrified- her forehead was sweating, and her teeth were gritted tight. She suddenly looked up, at the ceiling. She stopped trembling, and her eyes fixed on whatever was above her.

-Lucy P.O.V-
There was a light above me. I stared at it closely, and it somehow began to calm me down.
This is your only way out. Said a voice, which I recognised as Lucifer's. I don't want you to hurt the ones you love. I know how that feels.
"I-I don't understand..." I replied, holding my hand over my eyes to shield the light.

-Natsu P.O.V-
Lucy then spoke quietly, but I could tell she wasn't talking to me.
"I-I don't understand..." She muttered. I touched her shoulders softly, and when she didn't respond, I held onto them.
"Lucy," I said, staring into her eyes even though I knew she couldn't stare back. "Don't listen to him."

-Lucy P.O.V-
"Tell me something," I said, looking directly at the light. "My blood used to be red. Why is that?" I asked, with slightly more confidence. I had almost forgotten that my family were lying dead in front of me.
Was this all angels cared about? I thought. I looked back at Natsu's body, and leaned over to touch his cheek. However, before I reached it, I was stopped by an invisible force.

-Natsu P.O.V-
Lucy suddenly looked back down, and began to crawl forward. I held her back, and hugged her at the same time. I stroked her hair softly, as I buried my head in her shoulder.
"Please..." I muttered into her ear. "Hear me."

-Lucy P.O.V-
"I-Is this you?" I cried upwards. I began hitting whatever was in front of me, desperate to get past it. "Let me go!" I shouted angrily.

-Natsu P.O.V-
"I won't let you go, Lucy," I whispered, as she punched me and hit me with all her strength. Luckily, she was only using her brute force. If she began using her angelic powers, I would've been dead in one shot. It hurt, but I beared the pain.
"I'll never let go," I said, holding onto her as if she was the one thing keeping me alive. Which sometimes, I felt she was.

-Lucy P.O.V-
I began to cry again, without even realising. "Let me go..." I sobbed. Lucifer had stopped talking- I was on my own again. I lowered my hands, and cried to myself on the floor.

-Natsu P.O.V-
As Lucy stopped attacking, I lowered my grip. I looked into her eyes, which were blankly staring forward.
"Natsu..." She muttered. My eyes widened, as I leaned in closer. Her cheeks were pale. "I don't want to hurt you," she added.
I hesitated for a moment, shocked. Then I held her cheek, her tears soaking the palm of my hand.
"Lucy..." I replied. "You never will."

-Lucy P.O.V-
I went still. I stared closely at the bodies, almost admiring them.
"I...did this?" I muttered, almost in a whisper.
You will...eventually.
My body suddenly tensed itself, as a pulse ran through my body. My body shook, as if I'd been fired with an electric current. There was someone calling my name, but I couldn't hear what they were asking me. My vision began to come back, but it was so blurry that I could only make out colours. I stared straight ahead of me, confused, and terrified.

-Natsu P.O.V-
Lucy was back. She looked confused, and slightly dazed, but the glint had returned in her eye.
"What's going on?" I heard someone say from behind. I looked over my shoulder to see Erza, who had burst through the door.
"Help Happy care for Nashi," I told her immediately. She stared at me, asking for a signal of things were alright, and I nodded in return. I noticed her sigh with relief, and watched as she made her way over to Nashi. Then I focused on Lucy again. I wrapped her arms around her, and picked her up from beneath. She was staring up at me, but I couldn't tell whether or not she knew it was me.

-Lucy P.O.V-
I felt my body be lifted from the floor. I tried to make out the person who was carrying me, but I could barely see their features. I was in shock- I couldn't even speak. I began to cry, the images still haunting my mind. I reached out, and immediately felt a warm hand grab onto mine. I held it tight, as I sobbed quietly. I was scared- so, so scared...
And this hand gave me hope.
I felt calm as I was carefully laid into a soft material. I relaxed, and let my body sink into the fabric. I stared ahead of me, in the direction my head had fallen into. And suddenly, there was a face in front of me. I concentrated as hard as I could, and managed to make out the features.
Natsu stared back at me, his face full of concern.
I smiled, tears soaking the pillow my head was rested on.
"Thank...god..." I muttered quietly. Then, I shut my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
