For Eternity

I'm Gonna Love You Forever

Mira

I was only getting weaker and weaker every hour. My heart hurts and my bones are getting easily in pain.

"Try not to move too much, Mira. Your bones are fragile right now in this condition." Jenny says, and I sigh.

I've lost my voice but I could still talk. It just sounds so raspy.

"Y-Yeah...I got it already,  Jenny."

"I'm just worried about you, Mira. Sheria will come in about two hours. Just hold on, okay? She's coming."

"Mhm...ugh, I want to die." I said, suffering.

"Oh, please. Everyone wants to die when they're feeling really sick. It's okay to think like that. It's part of the illness."

"Jenny, not everyone coughs out blood with purple liquid in it." I said.

I couldn't even open my eyes that much. It was just heavy.

Suddenly,  Jenny's phone dings and she gasps.

"Oh, it's time for your medicine, Mira."

"No...it tastes nasty,  Jen! I don't want that."

"It's for you to recover, Mira! Now get ready to drink it. It's just one tablespoon." Jenny says, opening up the bottle of medicine.

She grabs a spoon and pours medicine on top of it.

I rolled my eyes and turn my head a little to the side. Mavis was still laying down on a separate bed and she hasn't recovered yet from her injuries.

I hope she recovers soon.

"Alright, Mira. Say ah!"

"I'm not a baby, Jen–hmph!"

Jenny sticks the spoon into my house and I swallow the medicine fast. I cough and squinted my eyes in disgust.

"Ew!! Oh, for Mavis's sake, that was disgusting! Give me water."

Jenny chuckles and hands me a water bottle. I open it up and chug down the water.

"Haha! I had to take the chance, Mira! Soon, you'll thank me."

"Like Hell..."

Juvia

"Levy, have you seen Gray-sama?" Juvia asks, and Levy shakes her head.

"Nope! Not at all! You need him?"

"Yeah, actually. Juvia just wants to hang out with him." Juvia says, pouting.

"I'm sure he'll come around soon. I think he's with Natsu somewhere. I don't know." Levy replies, and Juvia sighs.

"Thanks anyway, Levy."

Juvia turns around and spots Erza coming inside the house.

"Oh, hi Erza! Have you seen Gray-sama anywhere!?"

"No. I haven't. I'm sure he'll come around,  Juvia." Erza says, and Juvia nodded.

"Yeah, okay. Thanks anyway."  

Erza smiles and Juvia walks past her. She decided to go out and visit Lucy at the small church.

Juvia misses her. Juvia understands that no one can open the coffin except for Levy and Mira.

All Juvia wants is to talk to her.

So, Juvia quickly runs off. Juvia enters the small church and looks around.

The place is still okay. Nothing suspicious is happening.

Suddenly, Juvia felt a hand go inside through her back and she gasps, coughing out blood.

"Guh!"

"See you in Hell, Juvia."

Juvia widens her eyes, realizing who it was.

"I-Invel..."

He removes his hand from the inside of my back but snaps my neck, my consciousness fading away instantly.

***

Juvia wakes up, feeling pain in her stomach and arms. Small wooden stakes and ice shards were stabbed through my arms and stomach.

Blood was dripping and sliding down. Juvia looks up and sees that she's in a room.

Her hands were tied in the hair with ropes that were covered in vervain.

"Nngh! Not the vervain..." Juvia said, gritting her teeth.

"Ah, so you're finally awake, Juvia."

"Invel...what do you want!? Juvia has already ended things with you years ago!" Juvia says, her wrists burning from the vervain.

"Oh, please! Don't think that I want you 'cause I don't! But, what I want is to kill Gray Fullbuster. And my two lucky friends with help me do that." Invel says, smirking.

"Who? Why would anyone even work for you? You're a disgrace–AGH!!"

He stabs a wooden stake in Juvia's shoulder and she spit out blood, yelling in agony.

"One of them is a good friend of Gray's. His name is Leon Bastia. The second one is his girlfriend...you."

"No!! Juvia would never work for someone like you! Juvia would never harm Gray in any matter whatsoever!"

"Oh really!? We'll just have to see about that! I have Lucy Heartfilia somewhere with a companion. If you do not obey what I say, I'll tell him to kill her right off the bat."

"What!? No one could open the coffin except for two people only! How did you open it!?"

"Oh, don't ever underestimate me. My magic really is something compared to your friends. Your friends are weak and timid! Useless people..."

"Stop! Invel, please!! You don't have to do this! Juvia...Juvia will do it as long as you don't hurt Lucy!" Juvia shouted, small tears appearing in her eyes.

"Very well! That was easy, wasn't it!? Hahaha!"

Gray-sama...please, be careful.

Juvia's really sorry. She's so sorry!

Juvia will surely love you forever.
