Who Are You? [NaLu]

~Chapter 6~

In Lucy's Mind, Lucy's Pov, 

Everything felt warm. Hot even. I was floating in some unknown place. The area I was in was a night sky theme. I was alone and confused. I was looking around. Erza. Gray. They both saw Natsu knock me out. They saw what he was. I soon was hugging myself. I was begging for it not to be true. That some type of demon had taken over Natsu and wasn't really him. I wanted this all to end. I had lost to many people I cared for. Mother, Father, Michelle, Eclair and even Aquarius. When Natsu went missing...

When he was missing I died inside. I had thought that magic was punishing me in a way. I had finished hugging myself as I felt weak. I felt useless. My hands went over my eyes as I was crying slightly. I was just praying and wishing for everything to go back. Back to when we was fighting Mard Geer and his Tartaros members. I heard a familiar 'tisk' before me as I froze in place. Soon a hand was placed on my head as I felt myself start to shake. "Idiot girl" I heard her voice as my crying got worse. A-Aquarius.

"You may not have my key but my spirit will watch over you. You are Layla's daughter, I promised her to watch over you like Capricorn and Cancer did also" Aquarius spoke as I was trying to calm myself down. I turned around to see her smiling right at me. Aquarius. My head was shaking slightly as I hugged her. I was still in a mess crying as Aquarius was hugging me back. It was rare for her to do that. Seeing her, hearing her voice... In a way gave me hope. "E.N.D" she spoke making me pull away from the hug.

"When Loke felt the power of that demon inside Natsu he wanted to be sure before telling you all but he had found out way to late" Aquarius was looking at me pure worry was in her eyes. I was confused and shocked. Aquarius had her urn floating next to her. "Anna Heartfilla once fell in love with someone who had turned into something like this. Into a killer with a black cold heart" Aquarius spoke as she had crossed her arms. My ancestor did something like this before? I had not heard much of Anna Heartfilla.

I knew there was many people in my family bloodline well in the past there was. "She fell in love with Acnologia" Aquarius informed me as I was frozen in place. My eyes had widen. Acnologia? The Dark Dragon? She fell for that monster? Then again... I thought that but Natsu was once an kind heart idiot. Now he had a monster controlling his actions. "It pains us spirits to see this happen all over again even with Acnologia being cruel he still loved her back. Anna dying made him finally lose what humanity he had left" Aquarius spoke.

I was able to see through her eyes that she was remembering everything she was talking about. She was in fear of the past happening again like so. "Lucy there is a way for you to stop that monster but the price" Aquarius moved her head. She wouldn't look at me. Worry, fear, pain and regret was growing on her face. Seeing her out of anyone have these emotions shocked me. If she was in fear and worried about this.... It must of really been heavy. "How?" I asked as I moved closer to Aquarius.

I grabbed her hands as she finally looked at me. "I want to save my friends. I want the power to find your key and bring you back. I don't want to lose anyone else" I spoke tears were flooding down my face as Aquarius smiled slightly. All I wanted was to save them. I didn't want to go through the pain again. What I had to do to save the guild before. What I had to do to save us all from Mard Geer. What I did in a way I regretted it. I saved all light magic in Fiore but I had lost someone I cared for so much.

Aquarius. My first friend, my mother figure. "Anna Heartfilla helped create the Celestail World this giving her the power of a goddess but giving that to you Lucy will wipe your memory of everything. You would have the power to summon any spirit even mine without struggle the only thing you will truly remember is your name and your mission in killing the god Ankhseram" Aquarius soon explained as I was frozen at the price of getting this magic. I would of forgotten Fairy Tail.

Happy, 

Erza,

Gray,

Levy,

Wendy,

And even.....

Natsu.....

Meanwhile, Erza's Pov, 

Me and Gray were now outside fighting the demon in front of us. The demon that had taken over my best friends body. My little brother even. We was not far from Lucy and Happy. I knew he was pushing us backwards to reach them. He had no emotion on his face as I and Gray were out of breath. We was breathing heavy as our magic was both very low. "Tell me" I spoke getting the demon to look toward me. "Is the old Natsu in there? Any trace of him left?" I then asked as the demon soon had a amused look.

I was able to sense him. Natsu. He was in there. He was trying to fight. "Yes but not for much longer" the demon, E.N.D had answered as my body gave off a bright glow. Once it died down I was wearing my 'Japanese Cloth' armor. Two katanas in my hands as I went into a serious tone. The demon in front of me was smirking. "Erza we can't let him reach Happy or Lucy" Gray spoke as he went to move forward until I moved my sword in front of him. My sights were on E.N.D in front of me.

"Get to Lucy, save her" I ordered my voice was harsh and deadly as I felt Gray's confused stare. The demon was laughing at me. "Erza you will get killed" Gray spoke worried and upset as I smiled slightly. "Trust in me. You all saved me I will not throw my life away that easy. The life you all helped keep going" I then spoke as the demon was looking right at me, no longer laughing. "You are very interesting indeed Scarlet" he spoke as my eyes went to see Gray rushing off behind me. 

He was getting to Lucy.

I knew he believed in what I had spoken.

I myself knew something else.

Deep inside Gray he knew also.

I was going to die keeping the demon back.

With what I had left I was going to beat my way into getting through to Natsu.

I knew he could beat this.

He just need a small helping hand.
