FairyTail: Soulmate Countdown

Chapter 8

<|Gray|>

I stand infront of the bed Lucy's on. I look towards Natsu, who couldn't stop crying.

"What do you think happened Erza?" I ask the SC Persident.

"I don't know, Natsu has a theory, but it doesn't look like he's gonna let it out soon." He says and glances towards him.

"LUCY!!!" Juvia bursts throught the doors and sees Lucy on the bed.

Her face looked terrified. I mean, who wouldn't be? There were tubes running all over her body, not to mention that it was also covered in cuts, bruises and BLOOD. Up until now, no one knows what happened to her.

"L-Lucy..." Juvia shoock as she knelt down beside her bed.

I placed my hand on Juvia's shoulder. I never knew that she was this close to her. Juvia kept calling Lucy 'Love Rival', but I never knew she cared.

I helped her up and she cried on my shirt. Erza left the room and went down to eat with Gajeel and Levy.

"Juvia, come on, let's go outside." I said.

I guided her to the seats outside Lucy's room. Juvia continued crying until her eyes became red and puffy.

"I'm hungry." Juvia spoke up.

I looked at her in surprise. Juvia actually spoke in first person...

"You, spoke, in, first, person." I said with a pause between each word.

"I do it when I'm sad... Which I am..." She explains.

We walked down to the cafeteria and sat with the rest of the group. We talked on what we thought really happened, until two children with blue and dark purple hair came running to us.

"Erza-san!" They said at the same time.

"What happened to Lucy?" The fie of us chuckled, because they said it at the same time again!

"Ah! Stop following me! You stop! Ah! Three... Two... One... Stop!" They both and blushed.

"Juvia thinks you two look good together!" Juvia exclaimed.

"We do not look good together!" They shouted.

"Sure you don't!" I chuckled.

"Nevermind..." They gave up.

"Anyway, about Lucy..." Wendy started.

"Natsu texted us after we were dismissed." Romeo explained.

"Come on you two, I'll bring you to her room." Erza said and guided them to the elevator.

"We better be going too, come on Gajeel! I'll tutor you in Lu-chan's room." Levy said and the teo of them left, leaving Juvia and me together.

"I hope Lucy's okay..." Juvia sighed, going back to first person.

"All of us do Juvia." I sighed and ate the food we bought.
************
We all started to head home, all of us except Natsu that is. We tried to convince him that he needs to rest but, no use, he wouldn't leave the room.

"Come on Wendy, I'm sure my dad won't mind having you over for tonight." Romeo said.

"Are you sure?" Wendy asked him.

"Yeah! Come on! Let's get your stuff from your house!" Romeo said cheerfully and grabed Wendy's hand and took off.

"And they said they didn't look good together!" Erza giggled.

"I didn't know you had a side like Mira, Erza." Levy commented.

"Everyone does." Erza creepily said.
