Trust Me- A Fairy Tail Fan Fiction

Final chapter

Juvia opened her eyes. She was dry. She was no longer out in the rain. In fact, the morning sun was shining in the window and warming her skin. She looked around and realized that she was back at Fairy Tail, in sick bay. Porlyusica was the only presence in the room with her. This made her sad. Seeing Gray's face when she woke up would have meant everything to her. The last thing she even remembered was enclosing Bone Crusher in a sphere of water using her body, and being hit with all her comrades attacks at once. She remembered the pain she felt, but also the feeling of victory that made her heart sing. Now she was laying in a warm bed being tended to, and she was home.

"Juvia, you are awake. Good." Porlyusica said. She walked over to the bed and wiped Juvia's forehead with a warm washcloth.

"How long has Juvia been sleeping?" the blue eyed girl asked.

"Oh not long. You stumbled into the guild hall in the middle of a rain storm yesterday. You have been sleeping ever since."

"Juvia doesn't remember anything, since the battle."

"Maybe that is for the best. I am sure everyone will be glad to hear you have awoken."

Juvia felt really tired. Her body felt weak and numb all over. All she wanted to do was sleep, but she wanted badly to see her friends. As if he had sensed that she had opened her eyes, Gray walked into the room. He greeted Porlyusica and sat at the edge of Juvia's bed. He looked down at her, into her eyes, and grabbed her hand. His hand felt both cold and warm. Just like her heart.

"Juvia….how are you feeling?" Gray asked.

"Better. But Juvia doesn't remember much." She said shyly.

"All that matters is that you came back to us. We were all so worried. You were gone for days."

"Days?"

"Yeah."

"How is everyone else?"

"Well, Evergreen is on her feet again. She hasn't changed."

Juvia laughed. She had been so worried about Evergreen after all the bones in her legs and arms had been broken. It all had happened so fast. She also wondered how Lyon was doing with his wrists. She didn't ask Gray because she figured he wouldn't know, but she was pretty sure that Lyon was doing just fine. Just like Gray, he was a strong Ice-make wizard. One injury would not bring him down.

"But there's some bad news." Gray said, his face growing sorrowful.

"W-What?" Juvia asked, her heart stopped in her chest.

"Natsu, Ember and Happy have yet to come back. They have been missing since the dragon slayers battled an Earth dragon. They defeated it while the rest got to safety. But they were nowhere to be found and still have yet to be seen."

Juvia gasped. Gray turned his eyes from her. She knew this was because he didn't want her to see the pain that was in them. For once Juvia didn't feel jealous that Gray was concerned for the well being of another girl. She didn't think about love rivals. All she could think was that her friends were out there somewhere, and they were either really injured or possibly dead. This pained her to think about. And again all she wanted to do was sleep.

Lucy woke up and could barely open her eyes. They were pretty much crusted shut from all the crying she had done before she finally fell asleep. She rubbed at them violently with her knuckles, but they still remained hard to open. She let out a stressed sigh and rolled over in her bed. Levy was asleep next to her, softly snoring, her blue hair a mess ontop of her head. Lucy smirked. She didn't even realize it, but it had been the first time she had smiled in days. The fact that she had such a caring friend that had been by her side during such a hard time in her life, it meant a lot to Lucy.
