Remember Me, Please

Chapter Two: Smother The Dark With Flames and Light (PT.1)

It's hot... I don't know why it's so hot... I can't move and my body is just so sore... Who was that man who picked me up... Where am I?

(Name) slowly awoke to a room she was very unfamiliar with, body so sore and so hot that she felt swore her body was going to burn alive, "......"

Natsu laid right next to (Name) the whole night, refusing to leave her side in fear that she'll be taken away once again. He watched over her the whole night, keeping her warm and away from the cold.

He saw (Name) wake up, relief in his eyes but also worry by how terrible she looked, "(Name).... I'm so glad you're alive... You had us worried sick!"

Natsu gently hugged his precious gemstone, feeling what little warmth she had in her as she didn't even hug back; at this point in time, Natsu would have been kissing her senseless and cuddling her blue but he knew what troubles she's been in could have left her damaged, "Do you remember me? It's your little spitfire, Natsu..."

(Name) gave blank stare at him, skin so pale and eyes so blank she looked like a used broken doll. This broke Natsu's heart a little, she looked like she could shatter and be washed away.

"Uh, Here (Name)-chan... You can hang onto this." Natsu said as he wrapped his muffler around her, seeing a faint bit of color return to her pale skin. He felt naked without it, but he was shirtless and now muffler-less.

(Name) slowly looked down at the warm muffler wrapped around her neck, confused when a single tear fell from her eye. She touched her cheek as more tears began to fall, it scared her because she never cried during those times, even after the facts.

"Ah! I-I'm sorry (Name)!" Natsu blabbered out as he saw (Name) start to cry, freaking out a little before Erza came in.

Natsu froze and slowly looked at Erza as (Name) tears continued to fall, slowly paling out. She slowly started walking towards Natsu as he frantically waved his arms, "E-Erza, it's not what it looks like-"

"Natsu..."

Erza picked Natsu up by the collar and drew her fist back-

"Na...tsu...?"

Both patrons looked at (Name) as she tested out his name, color still bleak on the broken female but it looked like she finally said something. Erza gently put said Salamander down with a ungraceful thud, walking over to (Name) as Natsu pushed himself up.

"(Name), do you remember me?" Erza asked as she sat down by her legs, looking at the said person with concern eyes. (Name) didn't move a muscle as her body swayed back and forth slightly, mind still in that broken haze that seemed to haunt her endlessly.

"C'mon Natsu, she needs her rest." Was all Erza said before forcing the male to walk out, ignoring his protest of him forgetting his muffler and slammed the door shut behind him.
