Lucy

Dear Mother,

Natsu's humanity is off. That's not good. I don't know what to do with him. This is my fault that he turned like this.

I wish you were here to help me with this. I have been through so much currently and I haven't even told Aquarius or Romeo about what had happened to me.

Being taken away and tortured by Anna was so horrible. She tried to take my powers, Mom. Speaking of powers, how come you didn't told me? I know that I was little when you perished but...you could've at least written a letter. I want to know more about being a Celestial Warrior.

Okay, Mom. That's all for today. I'll give you the details later on. Right now, I'm about to talk to Natsu at the chambers.

Wish me luck. I love you, Mom.

-your daughter, Lucy.

I drop my pen down on the desk and sigh, stretching my arms.

It's the next day. Yesterday, Mira brought Natsu to his cell so he wouldn't hurt anyone with his humanity off.

Hopefully, he turns it back on.

I miss the old, protective and care-free Natsu. Not the dangerous and crazy Natsu.

But, I would wonder. Would the future bring us happiness or despair?

***

I go downstairs to the chambers. I'm actually pretty nervous because my human self is all alone with two strong and fast vampires.

I take a deep breath and walk down the halls. It was a bit dark but the torches kept the chambers lighten up.

To the right cell that I passed by, I see Dimaria glaring at me.

"What you looking at, bitch?" She asks, and I kept walking.

"I don't want to speak to a false like you." I muttered.

"What the fuck did you just say!?"

She runs towards the bars and I flinch a little.

"I know you heard me, Dimaria."

"Get me out!" Dimaria shouted, pissed.

I didn't respond and kept walking.

"Oh, look who it is. It's the one and only, Lucy Heartfilia." Natsu claps his hands as he stands up from the bunk.

"Hello, Natsu."

"What's up? You here to let me out of my cell?"

"No. I came here to talk to you."

"There's nothing for us to talk about. You ended our relationship again and I have no reason to get you back, you idiot."

"You agreed as well! It was the only choice we had and–"

"Don't get me started. I said that I didn't wanted to do this and you still went on about breaking up! You only care about yourself."

"What? No, I wanted to break up because I didn't wanted myself or my brother or Aquarius to get hurt by supernaturals. Natsu, you gotta understand that. You'd do anything to keep your family safe. Even if you don't want to do it." I said, stepping closer to Natsu.

He pauses and looks at me in the eyes.

"Natsu, I don't want you to give up. Don't become this destructive, emotionless guy. Be this caring and amazing person you can yourself. Please, turn back your humanity." I said, lowering my eyelids a little.

His eyes softens a little and I blush. I'm warming his heart back on.

But, his eyes darken when I realized that I softened him and I closed his eyes for a second.

"No, your speeches won't work on me, Lucy! You're going to have to try better." Natsu says, walking away deeper into his cell.

"Natsu, please! I'm begging you! Don't do this. Just turn it on!"

"No!! I don't want to deal with emotions! Emotions hurt me and I don't want to be hurt again! It's painful, Luce! It's painful..."

He sits back down on the bunk and I heard him sniff.

I gasped a little. Crying means sadness...which means that it's an emotion.

"Natsu, you're crying."

"No, I'm not..."

"Yes, you are. This emotion you're feeling means that you care about yourself. You don't want to get hurt and my words made you cry. It affected you. You're feeling emotions, Natsu!"

"Shut up!! I don't want to deal with these stupid feelings!! I don't know why they existed in the first place!"

"It existed so we aren't monsters like you!" I shouted, but I realized that I caught myself.

"W-What?"

"Natsu...I didn't mean it–"

"GET ME OUT OF HERE!! I don't want to be here with you!! Yeah, you were right!! Maybe it's best if we didn't met at all!! You keep on hurting me, Lucy! I'm sick of it!! GET ME OUT OF MY CELL!!"

He's angry. This isn't good.

"Natsu...please! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to say that! It just spilled out!"

His shakes the bars and I grit my teeth, small tears falling down my cheeks.

This is only going to get worse. It's best if I leave.

I take a few steps back as Natsu keeps on shouting.

My lips quiver and I sprint down the halls with tears falling down my cheeks.

I sob and jog back up the stairs. What have I done!?

This isn't what I was suppose to do! God, why can't I do anything right!?

Once I got up the stairs, Levy sees me crying as I jog up the stairs to my room.

"Lu-chan!!"

"Please, Levy! Help me pack my things. I don't want my stuff here anymore." I sniffed, and Levy nods.

"What's wrong, Lu-chan?"

"Levy, oh my God, I messed up big time!"

She sprints up the stairs and hugs me, comforting me.

"Everything will get better, Lu-chan. Don't worry..."

"Uff...why? Why did this had to happen?"

"Shh, don't cry. C'mon. Let's go pack up, okay?"

I nodded and with that, we both walk down the halls to my room.
