Storm's POV

For months Nashi was in the hospital. Her bone was broken so badly that it was sticking out of her arm so she had to have surgery. Of course, Natsu blamed me for all the damage that had happened to his daughter.

After she was released from the hospital she never left her room. Her parents were worried, our friends were worried, I was worried.

Natsu was so worried for his daughter that he was letting me speak to her. It had been eight months since I had seen her face and even her birthday had passed.

Luke put a reassuring hand on my shoulder and smiled at me sadly. He was the only one on Team Nashi that had seen her recently.

I lightly knocked on her door but there was no answer. "She doesn't speak much," Luke told me, "Just go in."

I opened the door to see a beautiful young woman with salmon hair starring out the window with her legs tucked to her chest and her arms wrapped securely around them.

She looked so much older. Her figure was taller and slimmer, her chest had grown bigger and her hair reached passed her waist, her eyes seemed a bit more mature. The biggest difference was her aura. There wasn't that glowing aura of cheer only of emptiness and despair. She looked hollow and broken almost...souless.

It seemed that she didn't want to see me or was it she didn't notice my entrance? Was she completely blocking out her surroundings?

I stepped closer to her through her heavily pink room and the floor creaked beneath each footstep.

I stopped when I was standing next to her and marveled when I saw her chocolate orbs but frowned when they looked paled and darkened. Hollow with no happiness or hope inside.

"Hello Storm," she said weakly but did not move her gaze from the window. Not that there was interesting going on out there.

Her voice came as a surprise to me so I let out a small gasp and made a small jump. Her voice had also matured but was dull.

"Hey Nashi," I said trying to sound cool but it came out more concerned and sad. She didn't say anything after that. Nashi didn't even move a muscle.

My eyes widened in realization. Her muscles. She didn't look like she had any. In fact, she may as well be a corpse. An angelic corpse. Her bones showed through her pale-yellow skin and she was clearly unhealthy.

"W-what happened to you?" I gasped while eyeing the cast on her left arm. "You know what happened," Is all she said.

"Nashi. Everyone's worried. It's no fun at the guild without you anymore. Jellal's death has caused enough sadness, but losing you? That would be a tragedy no one could live through. Please...come back to us. Come back to me." I begged and my eyes started to water.

There was only silence and no new expression on her face.

"Please." My voice cracked, I needed Nashi.

I heard a creak and I could feel the presence of Storm, "Hello Storm."

Jellal's dead. He's dead. It's your fault. You left him. Jellal's dead. He's dead. It's your fault. You left him.

"Hey Nashi," He choked out.

"W-what happened to you?" He gasped. I killed Jellal. That's what I did. "You know what happened."

Jellal's dead. He's dead. It's your fault. You left him. Jellal's dead. He's dead. It's your fault. You left him.

Long words.

They care? Why do they care? Why does he care? He shouldn't care. Don't beg. It makes he pain worse.

No. Don't care. Stare. Stare. Stare.

Jellal's dead. He's dead. It's your fault. You left him.
