New Era of Fairy Tail

Reunion

NORMAL POV

"Hngg..." Zeref stopped his step in front of a cave. The dark sky and the stars that glimmering above him tells him the time, that's why he was searching for somewhere to stay. Alone in the cave maybe is the best, he thought once in a while. Not so long after he thought it, he can see a cave not far in front of him. He smiled and walk over to the cave. But the closer he walk toward the cave, the more he can see a light in the cave.

Feeling strange to have someone in this kind of forest, he try to look at it, and only to found a girl sleeping carelessly on the floor. No, that's not the real reason why he stopped his step. He try to look again at the girl to confirm if the one he meet now is her or not. He hopes not. Yes, he hoped it. But how many times he looks at her, he can only think of one person. Feeling happy once filled his heart but soon he pushed it away with scared and curiosity. 'Why is she here?' He thought. He's going to leave from the spot until he hear Lucy's moan again and stopped. 'She's going to be alright, right? Alone... in the... cave...' He slowly turn back to see her sleeping face. Silent fills the air until Zeref sighed and walk beside Lucy.

"Maybe it's okay to stay besides her for a little while." He smiled alone and look up at the sky.

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

"Natsu, it's already morning." Happy fly inside the room and see the fire mage sleeping with his hand covering his eyes. "Hmm..." He replied. Happy only flying at the same spot, looking at the mage. "Natsu..."

"Naa...(Hey...) Happy." Natsu suddenly start the conversation in a while.

"Hm?" Happy look up.

"What did you think about Luce that time?"

"My thought...?"

"... Do you... Believe it is Luce that time?"

"..."Happy landed besides Natsu's head. "I don't know..." He said.

"It's Lucy but it's not Lucy. It's like someone else within Lucy's body." Happy soon correcting his words.

... Staying silent for minutes, Happy heard a small sound from Natsu and he turn to see Natsu's lips curved upside a little. "Right. You're right." He said as he wake up from his bed. From his nightmare. "Then, Happy!" He use his usual smile on his face and look at his best friend, "Why don't we save our friend from that thing that possessed our friend?!" His smile getting bigger and bigger, making a grin on his face. Feeling relief for being able to see Natsu's smile again, the blue cat raised his paw,

"AYE!!"

{--NEoFT--}

"Ohayo, minna!!" Natsu greets his friends by kicking the door until it fly across the guild. The gloomy guild, heavy air and a silent guild. It's not the guild he know. A tick marks appeared on his forehead, as there's no one turning their head to him. He take a big step into the Guild and yells, "Oi you guys!! What's with this heavy and creepy air, huh?!"

"Natsu..." Levy look at Natsu sadly. Mira looks at him from the bar.

"Huh? Is it because of Luce?" Everyone flinched at Lucy's name.

"Geez, you guys are so lame..." Natsu tsk-ed and walk toward Mira. "Mira, where is gramps?" Mira tilt her head confusedly, "He's at his office." Natsu thanked her with his grin and jumped onto the second floor.

"Oi, jicchan!!" Without knocking, -since he doesn't know how to knock a door- he slammed the door.

"Natsu?!" Makarov said in shock. "I want to talk to ya for a bit." His face became serious.

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

"Zeref?" Hearing her voice, Zeref slowly open his heavy eyes ad turning at Lucy. Lucy jumped back and stand in defense state. "Why are you here? What are you doing here?!" Her eyes becoming red again, filling with hatred. 'Crap, I fell asleep...' He cursed himself. With that, finally they meet after thousands years (including their sleep)
