Frozen Heart (GrayLu Fanfic)

I Can't Lose Her, Not This Time

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Woooow, I hadn't updated in a long time now. I'm so sorry guys, I'm running out of ideas so I'll be finishing this story now. This will be the second to the last chapter. I want to make this as good as possible for you guys and please bear with my writing skills. I think it went rusty because I haven't updated my fanfictions for a while.

Enjoy!

What the heck was that supposed to mean? Is that bastard really toying with us? I can't believe he had the nerve to play around. Who is that guy? A friend of Yasuhiro's? Everything's getting more and more complicated. Why is the world somehow against are relationship? Was it testing my patience?

I lost Ur before because of my carelessness. I don't want that to happen again with Lucy.

"Search every inch of this area. The perpetrator cannot be far from here." Erza commanded, her patience was also wearing thin I could tell from her voice. And everyone nodded and proceeded to look in the area, some searched using their magic, hoping that they'd see or feel something strange.

We're practically searching everywhere, but we can sense anything unusual. Everything seemed normal to me.

"What is this!?" I complained and kicked the small rock in front of me. "We're never going to find the bastard who took Lucy! This is pathetic!"

As I was swelling up full of rage, I felt something hard smacked against my cheek, causing my head to flick onto the side. I felt numb. My head is trying to process what just happened, I touched my cheek where I had been hit. That hurt.

I turned my gaze at Natsu, who's mad as well. "You're the one who's pathetic Gray! This is the second time that Lucy got into trouble! Haven't you learned your lesson from the previous one!? You're learning how to give up and I'm starting to hate you for that." He breathed heavily and clutched his fist tighter, "I can't believe Lucy chose you and not me." He bit his lip and trembled.

What..?

"Natsu.. I-"

"Save it Gray! I don't want to hear anymore of your bullsh*t. This is a bad time, but I want this all out. I loved Lucy, more possibly than you ever could. I wished she chose me instead of you, I could've protected her from the enemies. I could've made her happier yet she only sees me as her best buddy, which hurt a f*cking lot!! I hoped that you can protect her, but here you are complaining that this is pathetic! I pity you. Do you want Lucy to end up like Ur did!?"

He said a lot of things, but only one sentence registered into my mind.

I loved Lucy, more possibly than you ever could.

I kept quiet. For once in my life, Natsu had shut me up. He had me rethinking about my thoughts and actions. He's right, he could've protected Lucy more than I could. Natsu's quite silly and he could've made her happier too. I'm weak. I haven't done anything right, yet when I make mistakes I always found Lucy forgiving me and saying that everything's going to be okay. Sometimes, I question myself on what did I do to deserve someone like her. My life became miserable when I lost Ur and I don't want to feel like that ever again if the same thing happens to Lucy.

"I didn't steal Lucy from you because she wants you Gray. I could've done so much more for her, but she's contented with you. So please, don't waste the chance that a wonderful woman like her is in love with you." He gave up giving me his sermon and sighed, scratching the back of his head.

I gathered my thoughts together and calmed myself down. Natsu's right, I need to get my sh*t together. Lucy needs me, I want to spend my whole life with her. Have our kids running around the guild, that would be nice. Speaking of kids, last time I..

CRUD.

I shook my head, this is no time to be thinking about that! I need to find Lucy and just as I recollected myself, I heard a voice.

"Giving up Fairies? Hahahaha!! You can't seem to find me." The enemy said with a teasing tone, he's getting on my nerves alright.

"Guys, be careful!" Levy shouted, "We're under the enemy's illusion! That's why we can't find him, he's here with us! We just can't see him. We need to find a way to break his spell, I'm also concerned about Lucy." Now that she's mentioned it, I do feel kind of weird now. It must be that guy's illusion.

I looked around, shifting my gaze from one area to another, being extra cautious. "Just who the heck are you!? Bring Lucy back!"

"Nah, I want to keep her. She looks so peaceful sleeping. She's alive, you know? The real one I mean." I heard him chuckled, which pissed me off even more.

"And I'm surprised that someone had been able to figure out my illusions. I should congratulate her intelligence to that, now what should you do to break my spell?" He continued teasing as if we really can't do anything to stop him.

I won't give up, I'm going to save Lucy no matter what.

I can't lose her, not this time.

To be continued.
