Oh god...
There's no way out.
I can't see. I can hear the cave giving in all around me.
What am I supposed to do?
"Lucy..."
I whip my head towards the voice and reach my hand out.
"Natsu? I can't see anything. Where are you?"
A light ignites in front of me and Natsu comes into my view, fire dancing on the palm of his hand.
I crawl towards where he sits swiftly and wrap my arms around his neck.
"Natsu, what are we going to do? We're stuck down here..."
I shut my eyes tightly, tears falling to the ground.
To my surprise, a chuckle leaves Natsu's mouth. His chest moves up and down along with his laughs and I slowly back away from him.
His laugh fades into a slight cough and I watch him worriedly.
"C'mon, Lucy. I didn't bring you down here without a surefire way to get you out."
My eyebrows furrow and I shake my head at him.
"What do you-"
I stop talking as Natsu reaches into Happy's bag that he had thrown to him before we got separated. A shiny object starts to get revealed and the weight that had been bearing down on my chest lifts in relief.
They brought a teleport lacrima...
I smile as he pulls it out of the bag.
"Of course I did-"
Natsu pulls it out of the bag and we both fall silent.
My smile falls and the weight immediately piles back on.
The small crystal, just the size of Natsu's hand...is cracked.
It broke when the entrance collapsed.
"Maybe it will still work..."
My eyes widen and my gaze snaps up to Natsu.
"Are you crazy? You can't use cracked lacrimas, Natsu. If it doesn't hold out while we go through we could end up losing a limb...or worse."
Natsu continues to stare at the lacrima in his hand.
"Maybe it can handle one of us..."
I shake my head and stand up.
"There has to be a way out, Natsu. We just have to look."
I carefully look around.
There's not much time.
I can hear the ceiling crumbling under its own weight.
"Just go..."
My head snaps over to Natsu who still stares at the lacrima in his hand.
"What?"
"Just run away, Lucy. Take the lacrima. It will hold out for you to go through. I can feel it."
My eyebrows crease and my hands clench into fists.
"What are you saying, Natsu. No."
"Run, Lucy. Please just run away."
I stare at him in shock and hurt.
How could he say that to me?
