Jellal's POV:

''Tyraea....is in a coma'' Mira said eventually, I felt my heart seize up when I heard those words leave her mouth my baby sister was in a coma? ''She seemed to use up far too much of her magical energy, it put a strain on her body and mind making her pass out, and the stress of losing so much magical energy at once increased the stress on her mind and kept her in darkness. She can still hear people talking to her from the outside''Mira said explaining why this had happened,

''this all happened because I lost to Midnight I couldn't protect myself meaning I couldn't protect Tyraea... What kind of big brother am I?!'' I hissed as I balled my fists up, Mira looked to me sadly then turned to look at the door to the infirmary,

''would you like to go see her Jellal? She really needs you and it could help bring her closer to coming back if she could hear your voice and you speaking to her. The only other person in there right now is Gray because he's visiting Natsu whilst he sleeps he's not talked to her yet because I thought you three should be the first to know about it'' she then said, I thought about it this was all my fault but she was my little sister I had to go and at least see her. Who knows maybe she would wake up by hearing my voice, like Mira said.

''Yeah I'll.... I'll go see her'' I muttered as I walked past her and into the infirmary 

''Jellal...'' Erza whispered sadly as I walked off I knew what she was thinking but nothing anyone said would change my mind this was my fault I'm the one who effectively put her in this coma because I couldn't protect her. I walked into the room and closed the door behind me I looked up to see Gray sitting next to the sleeping Natsu holding his hand with a gentle smile.

''Hey, how's he doing?'' I asked as I walked over to the side of Ty's bed Gray nodded 

''a lot better he'll be allowed out tomorrow but he just has to sleep his fatigue off for the rest of today and tonight. What about Ty? Mira said she wouldn't tell me what happened to her until she had told you, Hibiki and Erza is she okay?'' Gray asked looking more worried when I didn't reply to him. I looked down to Tyraea and gently gripped her hand I could feel tears rolling down my cheeks as I looked to her face. Why? Why did this have to happen to her, WHY?!

''Baby sister its me Jellal, I.....I'm so sorry its all my fault, my doing that your in a coma. Because I wasn't strong enough and I couldn't protect you.... this is what happened to you. I hate myself for this and I promise I will try to find a way to make it right I just.....I love you........I........I can't do this anymore!'' I choked out, I kissed Tyraea's head as a few of my tears fell onto her face. Gray stood up obviously worried about me but I turned and ran out of the room, I ran past Erza and everyone else shouting after me, I ignored them all and ran out of the guild in tears.

I ran to the top of the hill and stood there panting, I must have looked a real mess tears running down my face, panting and out of breath I hated myself for what happened to Tyraea, I hated that I couldn't do anything to help her, I hated that she had to get involved because I was so weak!

''WHY! WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN TO HER OF ALL PEOPLE WHY COULDN'T IT HAPPEN TO ME INSTEAD!'' I shouted out to the ocean, I fell to my knees and started crying harder into my hands, Tyraea my poor baby sister.

''Its you fault that this happened to her you know Jellal your the one to blame and there is nothing you can do to get her back. You know there's a chance that she will never wake up, she'll be gone and you would have been the one to murder your precious baby sister some big brother you are grieving over something that you brought on yourself''

I gripped my head as a voice echoed through it, a deep and malicious voice that felt like nothing but trouble, the pain in my head increased as if some invisible force was pressing down on it I could feel nothing but pain, the physical was not the issue it was the pain of possibly losing my only family that hurt the most and this voice was right there as nothing I could do about it what had I done?
