A Dragon's Last Roar

Chapter 5

I've got nothing to say xD.  Anyways here's Chapter 5.

                                                                       Lucy's P.O.V       

        I stretched my long arms, sighing with a happy smile on my face.

        "Finally, a good night's sleep!"  That's when it hit me, "OH CRAP! I'm going on that mission with Natsu at nine!"  I glanced at the clock.  8:37.  I scrambled out of bed and pulled on my normal outfit, my blue skirt matched with my blue and white top, and a simple brown belt that held my spirits and my fleuve d'étoiles.  My boots lay in a corner near the door.  With ninja-like skills I snatched them up and yanked them on.  My hair looked like a bird slept in it.  Wincing, I pulled out my brush and ran it through my hair until it was silky.  Sparing a glance at the clock I saw it was 8:50.  The blue ribbon that I always wore lay on my dresser.  I snatched it up and dashed out of the room to the guild hall.

        "Wait Natsu, I'm here, don't leave without me!"   The guild hall went silent, looking at me with pained expressions.  They were all wearing black.  Erza slowly got up and took my hand.  

        "Lucy, we need to go to your house, you can't wear that now," she said, not telling me why.  

        "No! I'm going on a mission with Natsu today!"

        "Lucy, Natsu isn't here today."

        "Well, where is he?" I asked, looking around her.  She didn't answer, simply tugged my hand and pulled me back home.

        "Wear this, Lucy," she handed me a satin, black dress that went to my knees.  It looked a lot like the ones all the girls were wearing.  Erza helped me get dressed quickly and fixed my hair with a black bow.  "Why is everyone wearing black, Erza? Who's funeral is it?" Erza looked at me and started to open her mouth.

                                                                        Erza's P.O.V        

        I couldn't help but cry.  This was the third time Lucy claimed she was going on a mission with Natsu. "Lucy, the funeral we're going to is...Natsu's"  I could feel tears falling down my face as I said his name.  His pink, spiky hair, his smile when he laughed was all i could think about.  Lucy looked at me like I was crazy.

        "What are you talking about, Erza?  How would I go on a mission with him and be at his funeral?"

        "Natsu died last Tuesday remember? He gave himself to Acnologia so we wouldn't have to worry about it."  Once I said that, it was like a light switch.  Lucy's face contorted into one of pain, her eyes no longer sparkling.  Her sobs filled the room, and I reached up to hug her.

        "Natsu...he loved you Lucy, he was always happy around you, and I want you to know that," I pulled her up by her hand and we walked to the church together.

                                                                        Lucy's P.O.V        

        The procession was horrible.  It'll be okay... everyone keeps saying. No.  It is not okay.  I loved him but was too weak, too scared to tell him.  I remained seated in the pew when the master brought in a bouquet of roses.  My favorite kind.  Makarov placed a beautiful rose in my hands.  The second it touched my hands it ignited into Natsu's flames.  I gasped quietly but my grip tightened on it.  Romeo took a rose and made a blue flame ingulf it, then handed it to me quietly.  Cana gave me a green flamed one,  Levy a red flamed one, Mirajane a purple flame.  All of them were handed to me and were tied into the bouquet.  Natsu Dragneel, you're my hero I thought quietly to myself, my eyes watering.

Sorry for the long chappie but I hope you enjoy it.  This is dedicated to Fennekinchan because she deserves it.
