(Natsu's P.O.V)
Lights...Hazy world...blood...
I blinked. Where am I? My muscles hurt a lot. I tried to heave myself up, and continue my escape journey, but something heavy was pulling me down. I turned my head around, and see two rusty sliver handcuffs were straining me to the blood-splattered bed.
They were cuffed around my wrists and my legs. I looked all around the Ward, and notice that Juvia is beside me, looking miserable.
"Hey, what's with the long face?" I asked friendly, and she flinched in surprise.
"I can't help you just now."
I narrowed my eyes. "That's not true! You tried your best to warn me, but it's my own fault that I didn't listen to you. You gotta stop beating yourself over it." I gave her a friendly nudge, barely just brushing her arm skin.
She nodded, still looking miserable, but some of her sadness has faded away.
I nodded back, feeling drowy again. I closed my tired eyes, feeling eerily calm. I wish that this moment of peaceful slience can last forever.
Too bad it couldn't.
"Watch out, pinky. Watch out for Gray, the killer..."
All my vision faded to black.
----
There's absolutely nothing below me. I'm standing in nothingness. The only things I can see, was white. White lights...
Am I dead?
I stared around in amazement. All around me is pure white. And...and a figure!
A shadow blocked out most of the lights, and before long, she came out, looking happy and calm. She smiled, calmly. "Natsu..."
All my life, I have never believed in such things like ghosts, spirits, and others. But, now thinking back, I do admit, I will pretty much so believe now.
"L-lucy?"
My voiced cracked, and I could hear the bitter pain hidden in My shocked tone. I was trembling, partially in Excitement, another in pain.
She's finally back.
I felt her hand touch my cheek, and I immediately nuzzled it, feeling excruciating agony and warmth flooded my inmune system. "Oh, Lucy, I missed you so much..."
I could hear her smile. "I missed you too, Natsu."
"We're separated, for so long, 3 years, and when I finally see you again, you were murdered. Right in front of my eyes, too." I mumered, feeling anger burn up again. I felt sad, knowing that when I wake up, I'll never see her again. "I just want to have you back..."
My beloved Lucy rubbed my cheek in sympathy. Her sent is filled with comfort and love, and I could fall asleep, breathing in her sent all day...
My sister crouched down, and I immediately scooted closer to her. She laughted like an Angel. I want this to last forever.
"Natsu, I've missed you too. Over the years, I kept thinking you're gone. But, I've never stopped thinking about you. You're the only big brother anyone ever wanted."
I nosed her. "And you're the only sister everyone has ever needed."
She pulled me into a hug. "I just wanna say, Bro. I've never seen you in love before. You've gotta Buck up, and meet the guy of your life."
"Mhmm..."
I heard her sigh heavily. I lifted my head. "What?"
"Did you not notice that I said 'Guy' instead of 'Girl'?"
I shooked my head. I wasn't paying attention. I was starting to feel sleepy again, and this time, I forced myself to stay awake. Don't sleep, Don't sleep, Don't sleep...
"I've already seen and read your future." My ears pricked up. Who am I gonna be with? Not someone like the killer, I hope!
As if she sees my interest, she started, "You're gonna be loved and love soon. I can't tell you who the Guy is, but I can tell you, it's someone who you have a hatred for. Someone..." I still felt interested, but, exhaustion is starting to overwhelm me. I muttered sleepily,
"Are you gonna leave so soon? Please don't leave me...Goddamnit, I want you to be here. To be in real life with me. It hurts when you're not there. When I wake up, I'm always alone. I want to hear your voice! I want to be with you...I don't want to be left ever alone again, after Igneel's incident."
I felt tears leak out, and she brushed them away with her warm thumbs. That movement made me cry even more. To know that when I wake up, I'll be alone again. All over again.
"Whenever you go, and whatever you do, I'll always stand beside you, and support you. I'll always be there when you needed me."
I closed my eyelids, and I let out another barely audible string of words. "....Can..you..Please...talk to me...like this...again..? I don't want to be alone... and cold..anymore. "
"Of course. I'll miss you bro."
"See you again."
I closed my eyes, feeling warmth invade me.
----
I flickered open my eyelids slowly.
There's no one here.
My warm dream faded away. I'm now back.
In the cold, fear-spiking asylum.
With a murderer.
I felt some of the tiredness fade away, leaving nothing, but numbness in my bones. I felt sadness gawing in my guts. I missed Lucy. I miss my little sister. I miss my star. I miss my little celestial spirit.
I know it's only a dream, and I can't see her in real life, but I know that she will send me dreams soon. Keyword, soon.
I don't feel like doing anything. I just want to go back to sleeping, to take away this pain and loneliness with it.
I heard something from far away. A noise...muffled, yet still audible. I strained my sensitive ears to listen.
!
It sounds like a scream...Juvia's scream...
"I'm sorry! I won't ever do that again... AHHH!"
"'Sorry' doesn't change anything, you slut!"
I heard crying and skin slapping against skin sounds. It's disturbing...I hope that they weren't doing what I'm thinking they're doing...
Screams after screams rang out, one after the other...it's a major pain for my ears. I felt pity and sympathy ran up my spine. It's definitely Juvia's voice. Since she wasn't beside me, and since I heard her voice before.
I'm worried and scared for her.
That poor girl didn't do anything wrong. Why must he do something so bad to her? Did she offend him or anything? Or maybe...He took her only as a toy for him to play with and then throw away the next moment?
I sometimes wonder why she's stuck here. She didn't look like a journalist to me.
All of a sudden, it stopped. Everything fell silent again. I could feel dread crawling up my stomach. What's going to happen next?
I heard the door to this Ward open, and I swiftly closed my eyes. Curiosity took over, and I quietly poked open a eye.
Big mistake.
Swallowing a gasp of horror, I quickly shut them again, gagging at the disgusting sight in front of me. I felt terror in my mouth. Will he do what he did to Juvia to me?
I heard a metallic clicking of Handcuffs again, and I'm certain he locked up Juvia again. That means...
Oh No.
I felt something Cool and sharp lightly pressing into my neck. Snapping open my eyes, I gasp as he glared at me. His pupils dilate, and I felt weak and vulnerable, but determined to hold my guard.
"Move." One cool order fired out.
Oh hohohoohohoh sure. Not.
"But I'm still handcuffed." I smiled innocently.
He growled a warning, and uncuffed me.
"Better not run away, because if you do, you've got hell to pay." There's something in his tone that I couldn't trust, but I felt uncomfortable trying to make it out.
The moment I'm out of the bed, he ice-cuffed me. I bit my lip, trying not to heave a sigh of frustration.
"We'll have fun, won't we, pinky?"
{A/N}
Oh my God, guys. I know you guys out there are probably thinking, "WHY THE HELL IS NALU AND GRUVIA HERE?! WHERE'S MY BABY GRATSU!?" But, calm down, don't kill me.
I'll try to explain a few things. Firstly, Natsu and Lucy loves each other as the way siblings do. There's no romance between them in this story. No incest XD
Gray only treated Juvia as a toy and nothing more. Like a slave. I feel pretty bad for Juvia...but it has to be done.
I'm finally done with my exams! And I'm already scared for my results. Maths, I know I will fail, that's why I've written my last words. Preparing them....
Sh it, I don't wanna die T_T
But yeah, enjoy this part, and maybe, just maybe, I will update today too.
See you guys soon!
