Her Own Tale → Natsu Dragneel

9. Kill

"You're lying." He said with disbelief. Looking back and forth on (Y/n) and her. It is impossible!

"Do I look like I'm lying?" Liana grinned. Natsu's gripped on Liana's neck loosened as he backed aways slowly. He needs to kill Liana.
But how when (Y/n)'s life is on the line?

(Y/n) groaned in pain, her head was pounding and her whole body ache, "H-Happy, it hurts." She choked, the pain she was feeling was immenent, tears began forming on her eyes as she bit her lip to conceal herself from screaming.

Happy who was tending her wounds looked at her, panicking at the sight he was seeing ."I'm gonna call some help!"

Natsu clenched his jaw and balled his fist trying to suppress his hollow breathing, the smell of  (Y/n)'s blood was clouding his mind and it made him see red. The feeling of intense anger was an understatement on what he's feeling right now, "Tell me, how do you break the spell?" He snarled staring at the woman infront of him with pure disgust.

"You can't." Liana laughed, evilly. She hummed with a sinister girn and picked up a sharp rock that laid flat on the ground and began slicing it on her palm, making sure the pointy edge if the rock meets her skin as it started to bleed, "Hmmm, just a little pressure."

(Y/n) looked at her palm with an open mouth as she saw the wound began to form, she moaned in pain and clutch her wrist, trying to ease the pain. But to no avail, the wound was still painful. "Please. . .make it stop!" She begged,her vision started to blur as she feel lightheaded. The princess lean over the tree gasping for air trying her best to calm herself from the pain.

Natsu can't bare her seeing like this and so he ran towards her with haste, leaving Liana laughing amusingly. He snake his hands on her waist, careful not to put any pressure, afraid that it can cause her more suffering, "[Name], I'm here." He whispered soothingly as he rocked her back and forth.

"Shh, it's gonna be alright. You'll be fine." He said, his voice cracking. He doesn't know if tbey're going to be fine. But he won't back down on Liana.

He kissed her forehead multiple times, though he can taste her sweat he paved no mind as he continued to assure her. The woman was shivering at the pain she was feeling and Natsu felt helpless.

"Happy, call your friends! We need to tend (Y/n)'s wounds immediately!" He yelled as he noticed the amount of blood [Name] has loss.
Cupping (Y/n)'s face he run his thumbs on her cheeks and smiled gently at her,"You'll be fine, darling.

(Y/n) touched his cheeks weakly, her hands started to loss its warmth as she smiled, "Just kill. . .her Natsu and you'll be free."

Upon hearing her statement his eyes widened with pure horror as he screeched, "No! If that means killing you!" Hot tears poured on his face without any permission, millions of thoughts rang on his head, if (Y/n) won't make it, who knows what he'll do? He'd be alone! The thought of that made him feel helpless and empty

"Liana. . ." (Y/n) weakly pointed out, Natsu turned around and saw Liana crawling towards him with a murderous smile. "Stand back!" (Y/n) managed to choke, but it was too late, Liana stabbed Natsu on his shoulder making him grunt in pain.  He squeezed his arms on (Y/n)'s waist and shut his eyes, trying to numb the pain.

It hurts like hell.

Liana keep stabbing his shoulder with a sinister smile, the sight of the dragon boy's pain made her feel powerful.

Natsu cussed at the pain silently, assuring the crying woman that he's okay. It freaking hurts like hell but if that means hurting (Y/n) he'll rather be the one enduring all the pain.

"Kill her, Natsu!" (Y/n) yelled and gripped on his red sweater with plea, the clothing is full of blood now and it made (Y/n)'s breathing hitched.

"No!" He said sternly with his left eye close."If that means hurting you!"

(Y/n) groaned at her weak state, Natsu is hurt because of her. Because she is weak.
She's tired of this, she doesn't want to be the damsel in distress, she wants to save the people around her.And she finally came into a rush decision, it's her last resort but she have to do it.

She kissed Natsu's cheeks, and mouthed an 'I'm sorry.' She knew this decision was selfless, but she can't stand Natsu dying on her arms and not the other way around. It will ruin her.

Natsu's pupils dilated, his thoughts was blocked when he was pushed by (Y/n) with full force making him tumble on the hard ground.

And before he can even process what's going on, (Y/n) was kneeling in front of Liana whispering, "This is my own tale, I'll be the one making my own ending, not what the prophecies says, but mine. . ."

Liana tried to say something but without any hesitation nor remorse (Y/n) stabbed Liana with a battle cry straight in the heart with the knife that she was holding all along.

"(Y/n)! No!" Natsu cried out as he tried to reached out to her, but it was too late. The knife was already pierced on Liana's heart, blood dripping from her mouth as well as (Y/n)'s.

"And this is how it ends."
