Soulmate

Chapter 4

"Freed..." Felicity whispered as she stared out of the window. She stared at the thread tied to her finger smiled. Whenever she looked at  that thread it always made her feel warm inside.

"*huff* Felicity *huff*" Freed stood on the door. He felt happy seeing her.
"Freed?" Felicity asked as she got off her bed.
Freed nodded and walked towards her. He held her close and smiled.
"Its me."
"Freed." Felicity's eyes brightened, she could feel herself smiling,
They had not known each other, in fact it was like they had met each other just yesterday. Well, it was kinda true though but still they felt as if they had known each other for years. They didn't feel like strangers at all. A warm and comfortable feeling engulfed them whenever they saw each other.

"Felicity. I want to know more about you." He tucked her hair behind her ear.
"That would be a bit hard because I keep on forgetting." Felicity chuckled.
Freed smiled. "Well, that's no problem."

"Wh-who the hell are you people!? You can't enter!" It was Alice's voice. The door opened and Evergreen, Bickslow, Carla and Wendy. They were the only ones who managed to squeeze through.
"Huh! What are you doing Freed?" Bickslow seemed shocked. "You ditched us for a girl."
Evergreen hit Bickslow on his head.
"Freed, is she-"
Freed nodded and entwined his hand with Felicity's.
"She's my soulmate."
A big smile appeared on Wendy's face. "Wow! Congratulations Freed-san!"
Freed grinned. "Thanks Wendy."
Carla too seemed happy to see them together but then she saw a vision and the smile from her face disappeared.
"Sh-she's going to die." She whispered. Freed noticed her change of expression and nodded.
There is no cure to Alzheimer disease and Freed knew it. He glanced at the smiling girl who was talking to his friends, trying to know them, remember their names...
This was gonna be hard to take. He gulped. But still he wanted to be with her.

"So, you're gonna stay here tonight?" Evergreen smiled.
Freed nodded and glanced at Felicity who was playing with Happy, Carla and Lily.
Bickslow nudged him. "Don't try anything funny." He teased Freed who was now red. He slapped Bickslow's arm away.
"Don't even think."
"So, we'll be leaving now." Lucy waved at him.
"Happy! Lily! Carla! Let's go!" Natsu called out to the exceeds.
"Bye Felicity. Take care. We'll come to visit you soon."
"Bye!" Felicity happily waved at them.
Freed went out to see them off but was stopped by an angry Alice pinning him to the door.
"I told you not to attached but you brought along friends!" She held his collar. "Why are you doing this!? Why are you making it harder for her!" She yelled.
Freed removed her hands from his collar.
"I know." He muttered. "You know right that she isn't gonna live long. You know it better than anyone, right?"
Alice looked down and nodded.
"I have not known Felicity for long but I want to make her happy. I want her to leave this place with happy memories."

"What's the point...when she won't even remember.." Alice muttered.
"She'll just forget everything."
Freed could understand how Alice felt. He gave her a warm smile and patted her head.
"Its doesn't matter if she forgets because she'll cherish the memories as long as remembers."
Alice wiped the tears that had left her eyes and nodded.
"You are right."
"Well come on. You too should meet my friends, they shouldn't have left yet." Freed dragged Alice away with him.

Inside the room-

Felicity slid down. She chuckled as she cried.
"I know that I am going to die but still why does it hurt so much hearing it." She clutched her dress. "Its okay. I am just gonna forget about it soon."
Felicity stared at the thread that went out.
"I will enjoy as long as I live." But as she told this to herself the more she wanted to cry. She stood up and went over to her bed.
"I'll wait for......."

                                        'What was his name?'
