BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE (Lucy Heartfillia)

FIVE

"Where can we find that book?!".
Gray ask, he even held his hair in annoyance. Frustrated!.

"How can we save Natsu?".
Happy ask Gray. They looking at each other.

"How can I know that Happy?".

"We can".
They stop.

"We can save him".
Familiar voice said from their back. Happy and Gray stiffen. The voice was echoing to their ears. Happiness lingering to them. They face the owner of the voice, tears are now running to their face.

The Blondie woman, is now infront of them. Smiling.

"Lu...lucy".
Gray stutter, examine the girl. Her clothes are now tore. Bruises and wounds are visible to her body.

"Lusheeee".
Happy utterly and rush to fly, just to hug the woman.
She rubbed Happy's head to make him calm.

"Its been a while Gray..... Happy".
She said, she was smiling on them. Genuine happiness plastered to her face.

Gray hug her tight and cry to her shoulder.

---------------------

"Natsu".
Happy stated the name of his partner. He was now smiling, Gray beside him.

"We did save the Idiot".
Gray said jokily. He even chuckled. Their backs facing Lucy that remained sitting at the ground. Her bangs cover her eyes. She hold tight her skirt, controlling herself not to scream in pain. Silently, tears escaping down to her pale face.

GRAY POV

"Lushee".
I heard Happy calling Lucy nickname happily, it can sense to his voice. Who wouldn't ? We saved Flamebrain and we saw Lucy.

"Let's go back to the guild Lucy".
I added, smile written to my face.  I'm sure they will be happy knowing she's with us.

"I'm sorry".
She mumbled softly, just enough to hear.

I turn my head , and to my surprise she scream in agony. My eyes widened seeing her suffering in pain. The flame like continue spreading to her body. Her clothes have a blood stain.

"Damn".
I rush toward her and make my magic to cool her.
Happy come fast to our direction.  

"Lucy"
I called her name, I even tap her shoulder.

"I did it right? We did? We save my best friend?."
She ask, I nodded assuring her.

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry for being weak and useless Gray. I'm such a burden for the past years. I'm sorry. I really do".
Lucy weakly smiles to them.

And again, she say sorry for no reason. I saw how she close her eyes and take a breath.

It happened fast, She stabbed herself directly to her chest without hesitation.

"Gray, Happy so much happiness I feel to the point it's hurt. All of you... I misses day by day. But, maybe my adventure ends here".

"Lucy!".
I shout, I even gulp. Seeing her blood soaking her own clothes.

I sat in the ground, and put her head to my lap.

Happy put his paw to Lucy's chest but weren't enough.

"Damn, why did you do that!".
Anger sense to my voice! Are we gonna lose her again?!

I saw how my tears landed to her.

She smile weakly that put pain in my chest.

"I'm afraid to hurt my family".
She said weakly. She raised her hand, memorizing the insignia she have..

She do the Fairytail sign.

"F-airytail".
She having hard time to talk.

"I'm sorry if I'm still weak Gray, do you think they still mad at me?".
She added, that make me sobbed on her lap. I can feel her fingers through my hair. 

"You're not weak. You're not Lucy!".
I gritted my teeth. We just saw her again. And now?.

She hold my shoulder, and help me to face her. That s-smile.

"D-don't m-make Natsu feel bad, Don't make him blame his self".

She even cough blood.

"Gray... H.. Happy, p.please find Aquarius key for me".
She shut her eyes, her heart beat stop. Her hand landed to the ground.

"No. No.no. Lucy wake up! Open your damn eyes! Lucy!!!!!"
