Normal POV

"Agh!" Mavis was holding on to dear life.

"Mavis, hold on!" Zeref kept pulling the rope towards him. Any moment now this piece of rope is gonna snap.

"Zeref, I don't want to die!" Tears spilled from Mavis' eyes. Fear struck her heart causing her grip on the rope to loosen.

"You're gonna be okay..just look at me! Me only! Don't look down!" Zeref was freaking out. Just a few more feet and Mavis will be safe and sound in his arms. "Don't let go...I'm here..." Just as he said those words, the line snapped. Everything happened in slow motion. Mavis' grew wide open at the realization. Gravity was on her shoulders.

"Zeref!" Mavis screamed at the top of her lungs. It's over. She was about to meet her doom. The ground was getting closer and closer to her face. She has no idea where she is gonna land. Even if it's somewhere safe, there's a 70% chance that every bone in her body will be crushed.

"Mavis!" Zeref froze. What has he done? Nothing..absolutely nothing. Mavis blacked out. She couldn't handle the adrenaline. Falling from a thousand feet high overwhelmed her. There was nothing she could do. It was over for her. Time to accept the fact that she was gonna die. In less that 60 seconds, Mavis will be plunged into total darkness.

The remaining seconds was short prayer in Mavis' mind and a burst of thoughts that she regretted. If only she was there for Lucy, she could die in peace knowing that she did her sister a favor..for the last time. If only she had faced her fear, this wouldn't have happened. No matter how much she didn't want to blame Zeref, part of her blamed him for this tragedy..if only she never had said YES to him, all of this could have been prevented.

'G..goodbye...' Her mind let out. The sound of the crash was the only thing Mavis could hear in those very last seconds of her life.

Restarting to the Night of Lucy's Birthday Party...

Normal POV

"Lucy, how long are you gonna mope around?" Mavis asked for 10th time. This is Lucy's birthday, she should be happy and getting ready for her party tonight...not emoting because of jealousy.

"How can I she not mope around Mavis? It's obvious Lucy dislikes her very much." Zera was on Lucy's side.

"I just don't get why something like this has to happen on MY BIRTHDAY? Why did SHE have to come?" Lucy kept on complaining. "Even worse, Natsu seemed to pay more attention to her than me all afternoon." Lucy frowned at the memory.

Basically, after Mavis and Zera left to buy some food, Natsu introduced everyone to his childhood friends, The Strauss siblings. Namely:

The eldest, Mirajane Strauss

The second eldest, Elfman Strauss; and

The youngest, Lisanna Strauss

Lucy couldn't get over the fact that Lisanna has been hogging Natsu all afternoon. She kept pulling him to do activities that only THEY ALONENESS would do like teaming up for a volleyball game, acting as if she doesn't know how to surf and then asking Natsu to teach her, and even buying ice cream only to SHARE it with Natsu. It was obvious that she did not give a fuck that him and Lucy are together.

"I just met that chick today and I already despise her..." Lucy said with venom laced in her words

"You know Lucy, why don't you just go up to Natsu and tell him directly how you feel of about Lisanna?" Zera suggested.
