When you're GONE [NaLu Fanfic]

A talk with Erza

Lucy PoV

We arrived at the dorms and in my arms was a curled up, sleeping Angel.

She's so cute and really like an angel, huh?

"Ayano." Erza's stern voice caught my attention.

"Yes?" I perked up.

"I... We need to talk." Erza smiled at me.

"What is it?" I asked.

"You remind me of Lucy Heartfilia..." She began and I gulped. "I was thinking you were her, and when Angel said, 'Lu,' I had false hope."

"Can you tell me how you see her? As a person that is." I asked.

"Well...Lucy was a newbie in Fairy Tail. She was pretty, Loving, Caring,...she put others first before herself." Erza swallowed her wanting to cry, I can tell.

"She might look weak when it comes to fighting...but she's strong. She's strong by heart and by mind. She's a fun person... She writes a book...but no one knows what she wrote in it. Levy refuses to read it." Erza shed a tear. "I miss my sister."

"Erza..." I felt like crying too. She cared that much for me?

"You still care about her...right?" I smiled.

"Of course I do. If she were alive, we'd be having a complete life. A life without her....it's null, void. Colorless, incomplete. It's like having your curry with no curry in it. Just rice." Erza smiled.

I smile at Erza and hugged her.

"Lucy!!!!" Angel suddenly cried.

I froze.

Shit.

At all of the moments you could Angel.

You had to pick this one.

"So you're telling me... You're Lucy...Heartfilia?!" Erza stared at me in awe.

"Yeah..." I gave out a nervous laugh, with Angel in my arms. "You're not buying it...aren't you..?"

"I am buying it. Everything makes more sense." Erza smiled at me and suddenly hugged me tight.

"I-I missed you!!" Erza sobbed into my shoulder.

I began tearing up too.

"Me too.." I hugged her back, tightly. "Please don't tell the others.."

Erza let go of me and stared at me. "Why not? They'll be happy-"

"Erza.." I cut her off. "They think Lucy Lucky Heartfilia died. And Im supposed to stay that way until everything's fixed." I explained. "So please...don't tell them...yet."

Erza smiled at me. "I understand. It's great to finally have you back."

"Erza. Angel." I said, turning serious. "Please call me Ayano when we're around others. You may call me Lucy when I allow you to." 

"Alright!" Angel's childish voice replied and Erza smiled.

"You changed a lot in three years. The personality, strength, almost everything." Erza told me. "But what remained is your love for friends and kindness."

"Erza, Lucy."  A voice came into the room.

I turned around only to see...

"First Master?!"

-++++++++++-

"The time for you to fight Zeref is nearing." Mavis said, after Erza regained her posture.

"You're fighting Zeref?!" Erza's eyes widened in shock.

"I am." I told Erza. "What else,  first master?"

"It's hard to defeat him." Mavis said with stern eyes.

"What?" I looked at Mavis.

"You will need all 12 keys." Mavis told me. "Clearly you'll have to deal with Sorano's sister."

"The one from Sabertooth?" Erza asked.

"Yes, that's correct." I answered.

"Yukino Aguria."
