Lucy's POV

I woke up this morning completely aware of what day it was. I didn't feel the urge to get out of bed or go to the guild, today was really not my day. Even though my brain told me that there was no use in getting up and being productive, my body moved on its own and I sat up. My feet touched the cold hardwood floor of my apartment and I stood up and hesitantly took steps toward my bathroom. I washed my face brushed my teeth you know the typical routine. I trudged to my closet and picked out a periwinkle colored mini skirt and a black sweet heart-shaped sports bra and to top it off I wore a black cropped vest on top. I had no appetite so I just tied my hair up into a high ponytail with matching the periwinkle ribbon. Slipped on my black high-heeled boots and out the door, I went.

I still hadn't changed my mind, I didn't want to go to the guild. I just wasn't in the mood. Plus I know they have forgotten what day it is, what happened on this day one year ago. I just wanted to be alone I didn't need everyone's pity, what I needed was to distract myself.

I walked aimlessly through the streets Magnolia, it wasn't really an issue though cause I knew this whole town like the back of my hand. In other words, I wasn't really worried about getting lost. A while later I found myself at the edge of Magnolia, after this point, it was just forest. I walked in and wandered for some time, I sat at the bottom of a large oak tree. No matter what I tried to think about my thoughts were all clouded, I couldn't get my mind off it. What would have happened if I just went with him? He would have still been here if you didn't let him go on his own! I mentally yelled at myself. I was just so furious with myself. If I had just gone with Natsu on that stupid job he might have still been here with everyone, with me. It has been a whole year since I last saw Natsu. The whole guild went crazy looking for him but, we found nothing. after some months past master Makarov announced that Natsu was dead because there was some "evidence" from an unknown source. The whole guild was so distressed all of them were grieving. As Natsu's best friend I was heartbroken for a long time. But I know he's not dead. I know Natsu would not die like this I know he's here..... somewhere. Natsu... where did you go?

I couldn't help but start to cry. I missed him so much, Natsu still means the world to me and if he's not dead then where is he. I need him. My heart ached at the thought of Natsu. His smile, his laugh, his childishness, just his presence. I miss him, I don't know how much longer I can go on like this. The tears just kept coming tear after tear rolled down my cheeks. "Natsu where are you... I need you... come back........please". I sobbed my voice cracked saying his name out loud.

After hours of bawling and being infuriated with myself, I pulled myself together, just bearly though. At the moment I had no idea of how long I was out there. I looked out and saw the full moon, glistening with stars decorating the grim, dark expanse of the sky. I was a little shocked that it was already night, how long have I been out here? I stood up and dusted the grass of my skirt. I slowly walked back to Magnolia. It didn't take long. The clicking of my high-heels against the stone road was the only sound, I couldn't help but wonder what time it was. In front of me was my apartment. I was ready for this day to be over I didn't want to think about Natsu anymore. It hurt too much.

I took my key and unlocked the door I started to hike up the stairs. I stopped in my trakes I heard heavy breathing, and it wasn't me. My heart pounded in my throat. Who was it? What did they want? I had to find out. I pulled out Loke's key ready to summon him and I pounced into my room where the breathing was originating. I also turned on the light the second my feet touched the ground of my room. " Open the gate of the Lio-". My breath was quick and raspy in my throat.

My heart dropped...
