Chapter 9 ~ My Sister?

Natsu's P.O.V

I slowly opened my eyes and I can feel someone's hand holding mine. I realized that I was still at Lucy's place. " Natsu! Thank goodness your awake! What happened?! " Lucy asked me. She was sitting next to me and she was holding my hand. She realized that I saw that she was holding my hand and she quickly let go. In her other hand was the broken picture frame that I broke. " L-Lucy, can you please tell me who she is? " I asked, pointing at the girl with dark blonde hair in the photo. 

" Who? Her? Oh... That's my sister... " She replied, in a sad tone. 

" What was her name? " 

" Michelle... Why do you ask? Have you seen her before? " 

" I think so. I am pretty sure I saw her before, I just can't remember... " 

" Oh... " 

" Where is she anyways? " 

" It's a long story maybe another time. Okay? " She said, putting down the photo. Wendy ran over to me and hugged me. I hugged her back. I wonder where I have seen her before...? 

~The Next Day~

Me and Wendy walked over to Lucy's house. I rang the doorbell and no body opened the door. I rang it again, still there was no answer. " Maybe, no one is home. " Wendy said. I turned the door knob and the door opened. Me and Wendy walked in and I closed the door behind us. " HELLO?! ANYBODY HOME?! " I yelled and my voice echoed. 

" You don't have to yell, you know. " Lucy replied, moving her wheelchair toward us. She smiled at us. 

" Where's Virgo and your mom? " Wendy asked. 

" Oh, my mom had to go to work and Virgo had to run an errand. So, I guess it's just me, you and you. " She replied, pointing at us, " By the way, in the kitchen on the fridge, Virgo left a list of things for you guys to do. " 

I rushed over to the fridge and took the list off the door of the fridge. 

"  List of Things to do: 

1. Do the laundry 

2. Sweep and mop the floor

3. Water the plants in and outside the house

4. Take Lucy outside for some fresh air

That is all!  " 

I let out a big sigh, the only things that Wendy can do is water the plants. So I told Wendy to water the plants with the watering bucket inside the house and when she's done, she has to tell me. I was sweeping the floor while, Wendy was watering the plants and Lucy was reading a book in the living room. " Done! Oops! " Wendy yelled, as she jumped and water spilled on the floor. I let out a big sigh and I grabbed the mop. " Sorry! " Wendy apologized.  " It's okay, it wasn't your fault Wendy. " Lucy said to her. 

After that, I helped Wendy take Lucy outside and I told Wendy to water the plants outside. I also told Lucy to keep an eye on Wendy. I went back in and I continued to sweep the floor. When I finished, I mopped the floor. Now the floor looks SPOTLESS~! 

I did the laundry and I was so tired after that. I helped Lucy back in and my sister wanted to go back home because she wanted to lunch with mom and dad. I walked my sister back home and she asked me, " Aren't you going to eat  lunch with us? " 

" Nah, I'll pass. I don't feel hungry. " I replied, as we entered the house and I left as soon as I let Wendy go inside. I'm not going to eat with them because for sure dad is going to say that I am a worthless son and stuff. I had enough of hearing that. Plus, I need to figure something out. 

I entered Lucy's house again and she was still in the living room, reading her book. She looked at me with a confused face. " I thought you said you were going to eat with your family for lunch? " She asked. 

" I didn't feel like eating. " I replied, walking over to the couch. " I have something to ask you. " I said, sitting down on the couch. She closed her book and she put it down. " Go on. " 

" What happened to your sister? "

She sighed. I took her hand and I said to her, " Please... " 

" Why do you wanna know so badly? " 

" Because maybe it can help me find where your sister is. " 

" ...Alright then... But it's a long story... " 

" That's okay. " 

~Lucy's P.O.V - Flashback - Six Years Ago...~

I was in my bedroom about to fall asleep, but then I can hear my parents yelling at each other. I tossed and turned trying to ignore what they were saying and tried to sleep. But I just couldn't fall asleep. My sister, Michelle, walked in my room, holding her favourite bunny stuff toy. She was only three years younger than me. " Sis, can I please sleep with you? " She asked. I nodded and she jumped in the bed. I pulled the bed covers on her and I hugged her tightly. This wasn't the first time my parents fought. They have been fighting when my father's company wasn't going so well and they were worrying about money and having to end up living in the streets. 

" Michelle, don't listen to what mom and dad are saying okay? " I said to her, stroking her back and she nodded. I closed my eyes and I tried to not listen to what they were saying. " Let's go to sleep, okay? " I said to her, as I closed my eyes. 

Then all of a sudden, I heard something crash. Like glass shattering on the floor. " Sis, what was that sound? " Michelle asked me. I turned on my lamp and I said to her, " I don't know but let's find out. " I pulled the bed covers off me, put on my fluffy bunny slippers and me and Michelle headed downstairs, holding hands. We walked over to the kitchen, because that's where mom and dad were fighting and they still were. As we entered the kitchen, I stopped walking as I saw a photo frame of our family, now broken into pieces. I picked it up and my hands were shaking. My eyes filled with tears. So...was this the crash I heard...? 

My parents were still fighting and my dad had a wine bottle in his hand. I let go of my sister's hand and I tried to stop dad. But he pushed me and I fell onto the ground and the photo frame slipped out of my hand. I couldn't remember anything after that. All, I could remember was that, dad took Michelle. He carried her on his shoulder and he took her with her. I tried to save her and stop dad. But he kept on pushing me away. " SIS! " Michelle called out, reaching her hand out to me. " MICHELLE!!! " I yelled at the top of my lungs, but it was too late. 

My dad put her in his car and he drove away. I feel to my knees and I felt hopeless. I was scared that I was never going to see her again. I cried my heart out and my mom hugged me tightly. The only thing I have to remember her was this bracelet she made for me on my sixth birthday.

Days, and days passed. I lost my appetite to eat and I haven't slept for days. I haven't gone to school either. My mom bought me a doll that resembled Michelle and I smiled for the first time in so long. 

~End Of Flashback~

I explained to him about what happened and I began to cry. Up 'til this day, I still have that doll and that bracelet. I still wear it. I just hope that she's okay and that I hope I will get to see her again.
