~Lucy~

I was sitting in the taxi beside Sting, restless to my train of thoughts. Questions, situations and resolutions that flew round and round my mind. Sting held on to my shoulder, seeing my troubled state.

"What is really happening?" He asked, holding my hand tightly.

I bit my tongue and suddenly burst into tears. I covered my face and let everything out. I couldn't stand the thought of what could possibly happen.

"I-It's Natsu! He needs a doctor! No one wants to operate the brain surgery and....h-he might die....You're his only hope of living!!" I cried, staring hopelessly at his eyes. I can already see him taking pity at me. He suddenly laughed oddly. I was surprised and looked at him. Sting had this sinister smile that I saw in Natsu's eyes when he saw Minerva.

"You think I'm gonna help him, Lucy??" He laughed. "We planned this! I'm not going to help him! No way!" His face, smiling, yet scary.

"S-Sting? What are you talking about??" I shouted. "We? Sting! Tell me!"

"A year ago. A girl named Lisanna told me everything about this Natsu guy. When I knew he was with you I had to protect you from him!"

I was puzzled. Sting looks as if he was already crazy. He was out of his mind. Sting.....I remember now! He had.....he has a mental problem when he was a child....but that was cured...I remember it...

"Why would you protect me from Natsu?!?! What exactly did Lisanna tell you??"

He had this evil smirk growing widely on his face. "She told me that he killed hundreds years ago and that I should protect you. She told me that you were with him. and She's helping me to rid of a disgrace like him. You don't need him! I'm right here! He can never have you remember that!! NEVER!!"

I was trembling to my very bone to just witness a change of attitude from good to worst. When will this end.....? Natsu.....Hold on..

Laxus was carrying me, because this way is faster. We tried to call a taxi, but no taxi stopped on his signal. So he ran and ran.

"What are you doing?" I shouted at him. The wind made my voice a little weak. "The East Forest Hospital is ten blocks from here!"

"I don't care! You care about that Natsu you were talking about, right? then we better hurry!" He shouted back. I couldn't contradict that. It left me speechless for some reason.

"Laxus..."

He stayed silent, running, breathing heavily.

"Do you have a picture of your sister?" I asked. He stopped for a second and put out a photo that was burnt on the edge.

"This is the last one. After dad told me she's gone. He burnt every picture of her. I struggled to keep this one."

"You really love your sister, don't you?"

"Of course. She was the only one there for me. eventhough she's younger." I smiled and he continued to run. I looked at the picture, it was dark so I couldn't see well. But the second I saw the picture my eyes widened, thinking, Am I really seeing this? Is this them? I can't believe it.

"W-what's your sisters name?" I asked nervously.

"Her name was......."

My eyes widened. It's her! I've seen her before! That's impossible! It couldn't be, just comparing their faces and other atributes....It doesn't match at all!
