Ch 12: Poppies...

    ~ Lucy's P.O.V. ~

A harsh gasp escaped my trembling lips, I could taste blood in my mouth, but as I tried to spit it out yellow liquid spilled onto my feet.
Just when I saw the disgusting syrup touch me I noticed my surrondings.

I was in a total black abyss, but a sort of spotlight shot at me.
I hated it.
I tried walking away from it, but it kept following me.

After almost hours of trying to run away from it, tears started piling in the edge of my eyes.
"Leave me alone!"

I screamed, but my vocal cords stayed still.

"Please..."

Nothing.

"Not again."

"Is your temper tantrum over?"

My hands pulled my hair to various sides, I promised myself I wouldn't do this again, I promised myself I would not be here again.

"Oh you poor, masochistic miserable scum..."

"Look at you walk in here with your tail between your legs, making the same mistake over and over again.
I don't want to tell you I told you so, but..."

"Then don't!" My voice was suddenly back.

"I have to keep doing it, even if you consider it failing! I won't stop! He means more to me than lif--"

My throat was sealed shut, making tears spill throughout my face and falling to my knees.
"I-- Ah-h-"

"Shh. Shh. Who gave you the right to intrupt me? After being granted so many free passes, you think you're allowed to act like a spoiled brat, remember you're still my slave, haha, Luce."

My throat unclenched making me vomit more yellow syrup.

"You know, immortality usually grants people happiness not stupidity."

There was a pause.

"Again?"

I made eyecontact with him and slowly stood up.

"You already know the answer."

He smirked.

"Tragic."

I sighed. Removing the tear stains on my cheeks with my thumb. I spat the last amount of liquid out of my mouth.

He snapped his fingers, "Visit soon, you know I just adore your visits."

Just as he finished his sentence, my body started crumbling in pain.

Gurgling screams vomited from my mouth once more. Blood spilled from my ducts,
I could almost feel my guts being teared from my stomach.
One limb at a time being slowly broken. As my ribs were being cracked apart I went numb, no longer able to scream concluding to his favourite part where he got the satisfaction of looking into my eyes and not only seeing agony but the torment of knowing I would have to go through this once more.

I unhurriedly closed my eyes. Seeing him waving his hand childishly.

Barely having a second to think in between the intermission.

My eyes reopened.

I steadily sat up. I was in a woman's bedroom.
I rubbed my eyes and glanced around. Polaroid photographs hung on the wall, a summer outfit laid on a small couch, and calm piano music was heard coming from a portable radio.

I pulled the braid of my hair in front of my face, blonde.

This is me.

I sighed. A small bell was heard and I turned my head to find a blue cat phone case covering a phone.

I picked it up, checking what the notification was indicating.

You coming to the party? Salmon Boy is coming!

Tears slipped without a care,
"N-Natsu... I'm back.."
