Chapter Five

"Fire Dragon, Wing attack." I hear a voice that I recognize scream out. Terror filling his voice. It is Natsu. I slowly smile knowing that with him here I might survive to tell him how I feel. I tell him I love him.

I guess Erza made it as well because I hear her voice call out, "Requip"

Gray as well, "Ice make, Lance."

A little bit later I hear Wendy say, "Wing dragon, Roar." A tear forces it's way out of my eye. I feel it leave a trail down my face. Another blade stabs me in the back. I scream so loud that I think that you could be three towns away and you still hear. My knee fail me, I hit the ground. I feel more blade stabbing at me. Slicing me open. Blood flowing out faster then a a surprised person dropping a plate and it shattering. I can feel my life slipping out of my reach. I can't lose now. I have to tell him.

"Lucy!!!!" Natsu scream loud enough that I can hear it.

Causing me to cry so much, I scream back, "Natsu!!!!"

The puddle of blood that encircles me growing larger by the second. The stabbing and slicing starts dying down but is it going to be soon enough. I let out another scream as another weapon slices my skin over my heart. Blackness piercing my heart, trying to either kill me or turn me against my friend, against Natsu.

I scream out, "Natsu!"

A hand pulls me back. Heat faintly tingles my arm. I look back and see Natsu through the black and blue. I see him. I smile and I crumble even more because I know I am safe. I m guessing that Loki and Ares both went back to the celestial world. I don't actually know if any of my other spirits came but I think so. I know that Virgo was struggling to stay I had to stay strong enough for her. Sagittarius just vanished with little fight. I guess help did come though.

"Is she going to be okay, Wendy?" I hear Natsu say. I don't remember him letting e go or Wendy start to heal me. But I defiantly know now.

"She will be just fine. I hope that she never does this again though. It took a lot of my magic to heal her." I hear Wendy answer back to Natsu.

I slowly open my eyes and see all of them sitting around me. Carla sees that I awake first. She does the usual.

"What were you thinking? Wendy just had to use so much magic on you alone. Because of your stupid decision." Carla spouts and the rest all look back. Natsu's face quickly becomes tears of joy. Erza looks surprised and a little upset. Gray smiles. Wendy also smiles. Happy rushes over and hugs me. I smile back, tear threaten to come back.

"Well, I guess your alright." Natsu states the obvious. They all laugh, but I find myself letting tears fall. His face suddenly turn serious and worried. "What's wrong, Lucy?"

"I have something important to tell you, Natsu." I say.

"Okay and I to you. But right now we should just let you relax." He says trying to get away with what he wants to say. Like he is still in denial and he is afraid that If I say what ever I have to say he will have to face the fact.

I say it anyways, "This can't wait, Natsu. I almost lost a chance to say this once. Who knows how long I have to say this."

"If you insist. But first, is this the reason you decide to run from us and ignore me." He asks.

"Kinda, mostly." I answer.

"This better be good then, Lucy." Erza says.

"Natsu, I..."
