I apologize for the 2-day delay, I've been having a deadline due dates all week and thanks to procrastination, it's been a long month. I'm procrastinating while writing this chapter lmao.
Honors History can wait, after all, the deadline isn't until 11 pm. Hope you enjoy this chapter and once again, I apologize for the wait. This will only be a slight teaser since I've been trying to balance out 2 essays along with 2 other books and this one. The chapter will be longer than this and also if you want to see anything comment down below.
More angst?
More fluff?
Lucy won't be badass for a while since she is still traumatized though.

Chapter Twenty One Teaser
Lucy walked into the house, Vanessa and Haruka had moved back to America 2 weeks ago. She didn't blame them, it was probably much safer than being here. Everything was a blur and the pounding in her head would not stop, it was as if someone took a hammer and hit her with it several times. She felt someone's gaze on her back and her nerves were calmed, Natsu was with her in the house. Everything was alright for a short while and no one would bother the two in the Heartfillia mansion, his people were outside surveying the area.
Her father was still in the hospital, yet she was still worried about him. She left the loyal members of her father's gang with him. Everywhere she looked, the memories flooded back and she felt her throat close up.
What if she were alone? Would she still be standing here? Or would she be reunited with her mother and brother? The thought of being able to see her brother's smiling face brought back the guilt she felt, the sickening feeling remained with her throughout all these years. As if an anchor was pulling her heart down where no happiness would reach it until she released it. That won't be happening anytime soon because of her foolish thinking, several of her closest members were killed.
"Luce, are you ok?" His voice drowned her out of her thoughts and she turned to give him a reassuring smile. Yet the smile did not reach her eyes and whether he noticed, he did not comment on it at all.
"I should probably stay here now-"
"No. You're coming back with me Luce, we've been over this. It's not safe for you to stay here alone." Natsu interrupted with a stern look, her heart froze at this. He looked serious as if nothing she were to say would phase him nor will he take a 'no' for an answer. She only nodded as a response and looked down at the floor, faint bloodstains remained.
This was all her fault and there was nothing she could do to reverse this. Someone grabbed her shoulder and she looked up to see Natsu.
"Come on Luce, let's get your things and go home." She has no home anymore.
