~Lucy's POV~
What... just happened?.... What was that noise....? It keeps ringing in my ears... I can feel Mommy, holding me tightly, but slowly her hold was weakening. As her hold loosens from me, I look at her chest. My eyes widened in shock. My body starts shaking in fear. I can see red liquid slowly showing up through her clothes while the rain hits us both.
"M-Mommy?" I said as my lips couldn't move, but my voice was still heard.
"I... am glad... that you are safe... my darling, Lucy." My mom said in a stuttering, quiet voice. Her tone is making me shake even more.
She's breathing slowly and her body is shaking as if she's trying to move on her own. She lifts her head slowly and looks at me. Her eyes looks so distant and sadness fills her eyes. The rain drops continued to hit us both.
"I love you, Lucy..." Her eyes slowly closes. Her body fell on the ground as if her body gave up on holding her. I shook her. She didn't move. She didn't react. I look for a heartbeat...
There was none.
"M-Mommy?" No answer.
"Mommy, p-please get up. You have to get up. Please. Let's go home." I held her hand, thinking this is a nightmare and I would wake up on my bed with mommy beside me shaking me to wake up and saying "It's okay. I'm here. It was just a bad dream." I wait for her reaction; a sudden action that will wake me up from this nightmare... This is real.
Tears came out of my eyes. "MOMMY!" I shouted, while tears were flowing down my cheeks like a waterfall.
I look at the men and I see them looking and smiling at me with a menacing look. "Wh-What do you want from us?! Wh-Why would you do that??" I said, choking back the tears, but came back immediately.
"She looks like she could cost a fortune boys!" says the man in the middle, ignoring my question. They chuckle and walk towards me. My body began to tremble.
"G-Get away from me!" They move in closer. "S-Somebody...." Closer.
"SOMEBODY HELP ME!" I yelled, crying while closing my eyes waiting for what's to come.
I heard a grunt. I open one of my eyes and see one of the men fell down. I look back up with the tears strolling down my cheek at the men. I see their backs facing towards me. I saw someone got hit and saw his body hit the ground. Another one. I didn't pay attention to the fight. I hear the grunts, the hits and the cuss words coming from the fight, but I kept on holding on to mommy.
Everything was silent except for the rain still going, until I heard footprints coming towards me. I look up to see the guys laying on the wet concrete knocked out. Then I saw the person's legs. I look up with my neck bend up and see the mysterious person in front of me.
"Are you okay, Miss Lucy?"
It's Mr. Capricorn.
"Mr. Capricorn!" I cried. Without hesitating, I ran towards him and hug him in relief. I hug him as tight as I can.
"H-How did you find us?" I said, choking back the tears.
"Your mom... she kept the phone in her pocket, so I could hear everything. I called the police and told them you and your mom was in danger. I quickly drove to this place as fast as I could, but... I was too late..." I let go of the hug. When I let go, I see him walking towards my mom. He took off his coat and covered her with it. My tears felt like it was continuous. I held back from sobbing. I heard his footsteps coming back towards me. He kneels down and wipes my warm tears from my cheeks, but more of them came back.
"I'm so sorry..."
When he said those words, I broke down crying non stop. I felt his presence giving me a hug. This warmth.... It's not the same...
-----------
Everything was happening too fast.
When I was done changing into the new clothes me and mommy just bought, the cops arrives with the ambulance. I witness the cops arresting those men from the car and seeing them put caution tape around the area. I look away when the medical people take out a huge long bag.... I stayed in the car, waiting for Mr. Capricorn to be done talking with the police. After he's done talking to them, Mr. Capricorn opens the car door and starts the car. He follows the ambulance. When we reached the hospital, Mr. Capricorn got out his phone.
"Sir, come to the Fiore hospital right now. It's an emergency." Mr. Capricorn said and hung up his phone. I kept on looking down on car floor while a tear fell down on form my eyes..
--------------
After we got out of the ambulance, me and Mr. Capricorn walks towards the waiting room and sits on the chairs. When I see my dad coming in, he sees me and Mr. Capricorn. He went up to us and asks what was the matter. Just seeing my dad. I felt like I knew what's going to be his reaction. The tears came back, and Mr. Capricorn told him the whole story while I didn't listen to it. After he told my dad, I didn't hear him say anything. I wipe away the tears and look up to him.
"It's all your fault." he said.
Everything around me was silence. Those words, his tone kept repeating in my mind. My lips starts to shake. M-My fault...?
"IT WAS ALL YOUR FAULT!" my dad charges at me with rage and Mr. Capricorn grabs my father from behind with his might.
"Mr. Heartfilia! Calm down! She's just a child!" Mr. Capricorn yells while my dad was struggling and trying to get out of his grasp.
I-It was my fault?....
I quickly ran out of the hospital door. I hear people yelling, but I ignored that. My mind was filled with so many things that i completely ignore the things around me. I ran and ran in the rain. It's cold, dark and pouring. I ran into a forest nearby the hospital. Images showed up in my mind, the image of my mom dying in front of me, she protected me, and an image of my dad yelling at me. I didn't do anything to protect her.... I didn't look back. Then, I tripped on a rock and I fell in a puddle of mud. I tried to get up but my legs stings and hurts. I got up and I look down. My new shirt and my new skirt was dirty with mud. My blonde hair has mud and leaves. Then, I kept on running. I ran until I found a cave. I walked inside of it and laid down on the floor, crying.
"Mommy... Mommy... I'm sorry.... It's all my fault." I continue crying until all the energy has left me. My eyes began to drop. Then, everything turned black.
