Nalu: The Playboy's Ex

Chapter nineteen

Me: I also hate the word 'nineteen'....I can't spell....anyway, let's start!

~~~~~

My heart was in my throat.
"Michelle!" We all exclaim as we rush to the door. Ashley practically kicks it down. My eyes widen in fear once I see what happened....no....not you....

Natsu p.o.v

(Me: *evil laugh*)

I lean back on the sofa, listening to some kind of lecture from Jellal and Erza. Honestly I tuned out as soon as they opened their mouths. Erza will probably chase me down later and kill me.

I close my eyes and feel at ease. I feel bad for snapping at Luce but I was getting impatient. Thinking about her almost churns my stomach...something doesn't feel right...

I sit back up and focus my sight on the table. Something really wasn't right.
"Natsu! Are you listening!?" Erza asks angrily. I ignore her and squint. In the back of my mind...

Luce...

"Lucy..." I murmur....

Lucy p.o.v

Lucy...

What was that? Never mind. I focus my attention on the scene before me. There was blood. a lot of blood. It was almost like somehow had wrenched it out of the girl and thrown it across the walls. Michelle....please be alive...

"Michelle!" Ashely calls out, trying to hide the panic in her voice. "Michelle, dear, where are you?"
"Plue!" I call out.  "Come here boy!" I whistle loudly, hoping it would somehow summon him before me and make this all a dream...oh how lovely would that be...to wake up in my warm bed and find that all of this was just a nightmare. 
"It leads somewhere..." Levy points out, visibly shaking.

I mentally apologise to her. It was my fault she was witnessing this. It was my fault that Levy was now involved. It was my fault that Michelle and Plue were missing. My fault that Flare had died. My fault that they all got hurt...

Overcome with grief and self-blame, I follow the train of blood. with my hands hanging at my side and my face expressionless...I descend down the stairs.

Natsu p.o.v

"Something's not right..." I say aloud.
"I'll tell you what's not right, I'm telling you how we should go about this situation to protect ourselves and you're not listening to me!" Erza exclaims quite dramatically, though not attacking me.
"No, I mean there's something wrong with Lucy..." I try to explain.
"How would you possibly know that?" Ice Princess asks with his arms folded.
"I don't know!" I half yell. "It's just a feeling..." Ice princess sweat drops. 
"Nonetheless, we should check up on her...it has been a while..." Erza admits.
"Juvia will do it!" Juvia yells excitedly as she pulls out her phone. After a 'ding', Juvia looks terrified.
"What is it?" I ask, feeling anxious. Juvia, with a shaking hand, passes the phone to me. After reading the message I freeze.

'The young Heartilia has become a crimson stream, ever-flowing with no end in sight, as her ripples flow towards the sea, her splashes of agony never heard as she is hit against the rocks.

The hound will decorate a floor, forever to become a stepping stone, a rug that will go unnoticed by all those that stand

As for the others, they shall serve as decorations, to be admired, but never touched nor spoken too, never will they leave this building, this is their home of hell

But the blond...so beautiful is she, she shall be mine, a joyous bride she shall be...

...except that won't happen...

for their to be joy...there must be others...

bring me the wolf girl by sundown where the dead are laid to rest...

and no one shall be harmed...'

Me: sorry about late update, I forgot it was Sunday yesterday...
Natsu: Author-Chan!
Me: You didn't even know Sunday was a day until yesterday!
Natsu: I don't know what you're talking about...
Me: mhmm....anyway, apologies again if it seems worse, I recently got a new computer and am trying to write on that instead of my iPad (this seems more reliable) and I'm still getting used to they layout of it all. Anyway, everyone say bye!
Everyone: byieeee!
