Chapter 2
Lucy stood up, her balance wavering, unaware of Natsu standing nearby. She hastily wiped her tears away.
She winced as she tripped over a root and tumbled down a hill.
As she slowed to a stop, a new wound opened upon her knee.
Natsu tilted his head while watching. Although she hissed in pain, she didn’t seem to be cautious of trying to prevent it.
It seemed almost… intentional, as if she wanted to hurt herself.
Natsu jolted as tears streamed down her face and touched her wound.
Without thinking, he bolted forward.
“Lucy!”

Soundlessly, Lucy turned around, her melancholy brown eyes brimming with tears. She clutched her hands to her chest and stared, frightened.
“W-what do you want?” Her voice wavered greatly. She clenched her fists. “What is it you need?”
Natsu stopped at the top of the hill. He grit his teeth.
He opened his mouth to speak; his voice failed to guide his thoughts.
Taking advantage of his confusion, Lucy fled.
She continued running, unsure of her destination, as long as it was away.
