Natsu didn't know how he felt. He couldn't feel any pain on his body where he had been previously hurting. He was floating in an endless room filled with darkness. Natsu lit his hands on fire to see nothing but darkness.
"Is this what death feels like? It's so boring" Natsu shouted into the endless darkness. His voice echoed throughout the darkness. Natsu tried to move but his body seemed to refuse.
"Natsu" a tender female voice said softly
"Come out you coward. Show your self" Natsu yelled. Natsu saw a light come through the shadow.
"Mom" Natsu whispered, he was shocked to see her. "But...you're dead" Natsu said, as tears began forming in his eyes.
Flash back
"Mummy" Natsu yelled out through the fire. There was way too much fire.
"Natsu" Keita yelled out through the fire
"I.....I don't know where mummy is" Natsu cried out.
"We have to leave the house now" Keita yelled.
"NO.....IM NOT GOING TO LEAVE MUMMY" Natsu yelled through his tears. All of a sudden, darkness began consuming the fire.
"Father" Keita said
"Where's mummy?" Natsu asked his father. The man walked over to a tear stained Natsu, and slapped him across the face.
"Forget about her. She's dead" the man said. He then proceeded to walk out of the house. He disappeared into thin air.
"Keita...i want mummy" Natsu cried into Keita's arms.
"She's dead Natsu forget about her" Keita said without any sadness
Flash back end
"You don't know the whole story Natsu. I didn't die in a simple house fire Natsu.....you're brother and father killed me" she said
"No brother would never hurt you. He loved you just as much as I did" Natsu yelled
"Natsu...your father tried to take my soul....but, I didn't let him. He lit the house on fire and locked me in the basement. Keita was the one who started the fire" Natsu's mother said.
"NOOOO that's impossible. Keita would never to that" Natsu said.
"Natsu you have to keep on fighting" she said
"I'm so tired though" Natsu said. His eyes began dropping, slowly.
"Natsu, I've always been proud of you. I love you Natsu, so fight for me, fight for your happiness" Natsu mother said, she placed her hand softly on Natsu face. "Goodbye, my son"
Reality
The team got Natsu to the hospital as fast as they could. Erza grabbed one of the nurses arm.
"My friend needs medical attention" Erza yelled. She pushed the nurse to Gray and Lucy who were holding Natsu by the arm.
Erza instantly released the nurse who ran over to Natsu. She called over some of the Doctors who came instantly to Natsu's aid.
They put Natsu on a stretcher.
"Hurry up. He lost a lot of blood" Erza shouted at the Doctors. The doctors obeyed Erza as they feared her.
The team tried to follow Natsu into the surgery room.
"I'm sorry, but you guys can't go in there" a Doctor said
"Get out of my way" Erza shouted.
"Erza" Lucy said grabbing Erza's arm softly. "We need to let the doctors do their job" Lucy said softly. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying so much. Erza reluctantly let go of the nurses arm. The nurse rubbed her arm and closed the door.
"I should call Mirajane" Erza said
"What are you gonna tell her?" Juvia asked
"The truth" Erza said. A Doctor came up to them.
"Is Natsu okay?" Lucy asked the Doctor as soon as she saw the Doctor.
"He's still in surgery, I came to check on you guys. You seem to have scratches and bruises, your ribs may also be fractured" the Doctor said
"Stop focusing on us and focus on saving Natsu" Erza shouted. The Doctor flinched at Erza's tone.
"Erza" Lucy whispered. She didn't understand why Erza was so agitated, normally in these type of situation, Erza would be calm.
"Erza. There's no use in staying injured. Let's get patched up so we don't have to worry about these wounds, if she decides to attack again, at least we'll be healed" Gray said. Erza nodded her head.
"Please accept my apology" Erza whispered to the Doctor. The Doctor nodded he's head and got he's medical equipment. Once Erza was done getting patched up she look out the price of Lacrima that was used to communicate to Mirajane.
"Hey Erza. How's the mission going?" Mirajane asked happily.
"Mirajane.....we can't continue on with the missions" Erza said softly
"Erza.....what's wrong?" Mirajane asked, she noticed that
Erza began telling Mirajane about the events that took place not too long ago. She told her how the girl named Meika knew of Natsu and Natsu knew of her. Erza told Mirajane the events that took place in the forest.
"I'll send someone else on the mission. Can I be of any help?" Mirajane asked
"Can you inform the master about the events that took place?" Erza asked
"Of course I can. I hope that Natsu gets better. Update me regularly yeh?" Mirajane asked
"Yes of course. Thank you Mirajane" Erza said. Erza sat down on the chair where Gray and Juvia were sitting. Lucy was pacing the hospital nervously.
""I'm so sorry" Wendy whispered softly through her tears.
"Wendy" Lucy said softly. Lucy finally stopped pacing back and forth. She walked up to Wendy and put her hand on the crying child's knee.
"It's all my fault" Wendy cried
"Wendy" Juvia whispered. She walked next to Lucy.
"If I was strong enough and quick enough....then Natsu would be in this position" Wendy cried
"Natsu had a choice" Gray said sternly.
"Gray" Lucy scolded
"Gray's right. Natsu had a choice, he had 2 options. Save himself and leave you to die or save you and possibly sacrifice he's life. What Natsu did was he's own choice. Nobody else's. Don't feel guilty for something that you couldn't avoid" Erza said straightforwardly. She was starting to revert to her old self.
"Erza" Juvia said softly.
"Thank you....you don't hate me?" Wendy asked, she was afraid of the answer.
"There's nothing to hate about you Wendy, none of this is your fault okay?" Lucy said tenderly. Wendy let out a cry. She began sobbing softly.
"Thank you" Wendy cried. She couldn't stop crying. She was crying out of relief that her comrades didn't hate her. Her comrades gave her a reassuring, sad smile. Lucy gave Wendy a soft and comforting hug.
What felt like hours but in reality was only minutes, the Doctor finally came out, he was holding on the clip board a bit too tightly. He gave the clip board to one of the nurses. He sighed softly and rubbed his face with his hands.
"Natsu Dragneel" the Doctor called out. Erza and her comrades stood up and walked over to the Doctor.
"I don't know how to tell you this...." The Doctor said softly. Erza was getting annoyed with the Doctor. She grabbed the Doctor by the collars.
"Hurry up and tell us the news before I rip your vocal cords out" Erza threatened impatiently. Her comrades tired to get Erza off the Doctor but failed.
"I'm so sorry....we couldn't transfer the blood fast enough....he lost to much blood in the process of surgery" the Doctor said
"What the hell does that mean?" Gray shouted. Lucy, Juvia and Wendy began crying.
"He didn't make it through surgery....I'm sorry...he's dead" the Doctor said softly
