Angel Rising*

4. Home Is Where The Heart Lives

Natsu POV: 

I sit in the guild alone with Happy and my loneliness. I miss Lucy. No I miss my Luce, I need her and I'm craving her beautiful smile and soft voice right about now. I feel so damn lonely and incomplete, like I'm missing pieces. I sighed loudly and stared out the window on the left side of the guild. Erza and Gray left this morning to go capture some bandits stealing coins, they hadn't even invited me, assholes. Not that I even really wanted to go, I just thought maybe bashing in some bandits skulls would lighten my strange mode. 

By noon I was starving and craving some meat, I got up from my spot and headed to Mira's bar, Happy followed closely behind. Mira glowed with happiness as usual and asked me what I wanted to eat. I replied with "Anything meat Mira, I need a pick me up." She smiled and hustled towards the kitchen to prepare something. I waited and Happy flew towards the kitchen, probably to beg Mira for a fish. Waiting for the food I managed to pass out, until Mira shook me awake. I wolfed down my food and then I left the guild with Happy, we headed home and while Happy slept soundly I thought through the entire night. Lucy was in my every thought I needed my Luce, my light, my best friend, my companion, my love, and my one true soulmate. 

When would the love of my life and I be reunited again? 

 ? POV: Not a single soul knew the answer to Natsu's questions, not even Lucy Heartfilia Herself. 

Lucy POV:  Adaline and I sat on the inn's bed we had been given, neither of us knew what to say. I could tell she was thinking about something and I knew what I was thinking about, Home. Man I wanted to go home more than anything, to see Natsu, the Guild, my apartment, Master, and just overall Fairy Tail. I craved it so bad. There I had and Everything I could ever need or want. Here I had no one and nothing, besides two small suitcases and my exceed companion. 

Finally I was the one to break the silence between Addy and I. 

"Adaline, I don't know what to do. We have to help these people but all I want to do is go home. I miss everyone." I said with a long sigh at the end, my head in my hands.

"Oh my beautiful mistress. Please stay positive we'll help these people I know this and then we'll fly home and we'll see all of our dearest again. We must be patient and keep ours heads, because one slip could kill us and all these villagers. We must walk on the glass rivers my dear lady, together." Adaline said as she looked over at me, and she smiled a toothed grin. 

That toothed grin reminded me of Natsu and the nest thing I knew I wanted to cry. I'm such a crybaby. Addy cradled me the best she could with her ting tiger colored paws and I clung to her back the best I could. I knew we were going to help these people if its the last thing we did, but I just couldn't help but feel like we were going to die trying.
