Chapter 12 (unedited)

🎬<Natsu>🎬

"Is it just me? Or is it reality?" I thought as I opened my eyes in the middle of the night when I heard a disturbing noise.

"P-please...don't do it...I'm b-begging you...p-please." Lucy mumbled.

I sat up and saw Lucy sweating madly as she moved her head from left to right continuously. It doesn't looked like she was just having a bad dream, it was a nightmare. I tried to calm her down by caressing her blonde hair and gently swiping her forehead with the back of my hands to clean her sweat.

"Luce. It's okay...I'm here" I whispered, enough for her to hear as I kissed her forehead. I had never seen her acting like that before which kinda made me worried.

"P-please...don't..do it...I-I..." she said panting hard. I caressed her hair once more before... "HELP!" Lucy shouted as she sat up which led me to instantly reverted my hands back to myself. "Luce..." I said trying to get her attention but instead, she turned her head real quick and stared at the door.

"Luce.." I repeated hoping she would realised that I was calling her. That's when I saw a tear dripped from her eyes, down her cheek until her chin. "Hey Luce.." I called again, placing my hand on her shoulder but she immediately pushed it away roughly leaving me rather shocked.

She looked at me, not with her sparkling brown eyes that was calm and full of light but with eyes that was full of fear and anxiety. She started to tremble as more tears started to flow down her cheeks.

Even though she was looking at me, but she was occupied. I waved a hand in front of her slowly from left to right to see if she would react to it but she didn't.

"Luce...are you okay?" I asked, concerned. She then immediately came back to her senses.

"N-Natsu..." she murmured but quickly turned to look at the door again. She looked at the door nervously like someone was gonna walk it anytime. "What's wrong?" I asked trying to meet her eyes, "did you had a nightmare?"

I placed my hand at her back and rubbed it up and down, trying to calm her down. "Mm.." she replied so I guessed it was a 'yes'. "Don't worry, I'm right here." I comforted while I continued to rub her back.

"Natsu... mind if I sleep inside?" she asked emotionlessly without losing her attention at the door. I nodded and we changed places. "Are you feeling better now?" I asked as I cupped her cheeks with my thumbs but was slapped away by her's instantly.

She started to look nervous again. "I-I'm fine!" she said as she moved further away from me with her back touching the wall behind her. Just looking at her, made my heart ached real bad.

"Let go!" she shouted as I wrapped my arms around her tightly. "I won't let go until you've calmed down!" I replied while she tried her best to shrugged my arms off of her.

"Stop it please...." she begged even though she knew it was me that was hugging her. I slowly let go of her but still held her at her shoulders. "Luce...it's me, Natsu" I said looking into her cold brown eyes.

"Natsu...." she murmured. I thought she knew it was me the whole time? "Yes I'm here..you don't have to me scared. No ones gonna hurt you as long as I'm around you." I assured her as I pulled her into a hug again.

This time, she didn't push me away or anything, she hugged me back weakly as I gently rubbed her back again giving her small pats.

"Feeling better?" I asked with a small smile as I slowly let go. She nodded but immediately switched her attention to the door again. "Do you want me to close the door?" I asked as I brushed a string of hair to behind her ears.
