Grief

Depression Pt 4-- Trial

"Miss Heartfilia, you are the girlfriend of Natsu Dragneel and have known him for fourteen years. Can you please tell the court how Mr. Dragneel was before his kidnapping and assault?"

The jury was quieted to a hum as Lucy stood before the court.

"Natsu was a very outgoing and spirited young man. He was kind and had very little fear or worry"

"And after?"

"He has become reserved and very fearful. He developed PTSD and doesn't seem to enjoy our friends company anymore"

"Thank you Miss Heartfilia, you may step down" the council's highest said, gesturing her to step down from the podium. The blonde walked back to her seat, sitting down in her spot. Natsu had arrived moments after she had begun speaking, and was fiddling with his fingers.

"Natsu Dragneel, will you please come up to the stand?"

The dragon slayer gulped, pacing up to the podium. His eyes landed directly on his offender and his offender grinned manically. Natsu's lip trembled as the first question was asked.

"Mr. Dragneel, did Mr. Oliver violate you" the councilman asked.

Fear flashed in the pinkette's eyes as he nodded yes.

"What exactly did Mr. Oliver do for you to say that?"
"H-he..." the trembling man sputtered before screaming loudly. Memories flashed in his mind and he dragged his fingernails down his face, drawing blood. Kavinsky ran up to him in an attempt to calm him but he pushed her away, hysterical crying. Lucy was frozen in her spot. She watched as her boyfriend fell apart and the rune knights escort him out. His offender laughed manically, throwing his head back in a deep rumble. The rune knights took Oliver out of the room and the court was dead quite. Lucy shivered, her boyfriend's screams echoing in her mind.

"We'll have a recess until tomorrow"
