YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE a Lyvia, Gruvia story

MERMAID

For days, the most lively Guild in all Fiore changed to be the most quiet one.

Rain left the City, but not the insides of their Guild.

They lost not just one but much more than they could think, in just a glimpse.

Juvia's death destroyed so much bonds.

At Lamia Scale, even Lyon's shadow couldn't be seen, no more.

No one could see him and visit him too, for an Ice barrier kept everyone outside.

Gajeel left with Lily and Levy, without telling where they'd go.

Gray, he hasn't been seen since Juvia's death.

"Natsu?" Lucy called as she sat beside the Dragon Slayer. Earning just a groan from the cherry head.

Since the tragedy, Natsu had been quiet. The letter Levy saw, with odd symbols had gone missing. Taking whatever Juvia's message, kept away from everyone's hold.

"D-do you want to go.in a mission Natsu?" Lucy shyly breathed. Finding her words empty. She know she's not ready to go on missions yet. No.one is.

Instead of answering, Natsu stood up and held her hand. Pulling her with him outside. With Happy's unconscious body on his shoulder.

Their team had crumbled down because of the incident. Erza had never been seen since Juvia's funeral. Even their own Master Makarov.

"Where to Luce?" Natsu spoke weakly as his gaze stayed glued on the floor.

"Uhm the forest Natsu. We have to capture a demon" she breathed finding it hard to move, as the word demon escaped her lips.

"O-k" Natsu breathed softly as he continued pulling her into the streets of Magnolia.

Lyon locked himself in his home. Drinking until he get wasted. Until he fell asleep with the liquor in his hands.

He couldn't stop.his eyes from crying.

The once sparkling house turned like a chaos of shattered glass. From his pain.

He woke up with the feelings of nudgings on his arms.

"Mmhmmmmmm Juvia" he breathed as he tried to sleep.again.

But as he felt water softly carresing his body, his eyes snapped open and a groan escaped his lips.

He fell asleep in the lake.

The nudging came again and with creased brows, he gazed at what is it. Unprepared of what he'll find.

His eyes widen as shock devoured him.

A body floated with him. A mermaid's body.

With shivering hands he reached to touch the womans cold skin.

She's alive. He could feel a pulse, though very weak.

He pulled her with him.away from the water and turned her over to see her face, but another wave of shock fell at what he saw.
