Chapter 17 : Wendy's Sacrifice and Lucy's Memories

(Laxus's POV)

I awoke from my apparent sleep in the middle of nowhere. My body ached from the pain in my heart and I didn't know if I could bear it. I know that Wendy said that she could reverse what would happen but she would have to give something up in return. I was so tired of people I care for having to lose something to protect others. I knew that Wendy was well aware of the risks that came with helping Lucy but could I live with the consequences of her actions. I pounded my fist on the ground in anger, would this ever end. Why did it have to be Lucy that lost her memories, why couldn't it be me. I was the one with a bad history, I was the one who deserved a punishment like that. Maybe Lucy losing her memories was my retribution for all the bad things that I have done in my life. I was in so much hurt and pain that I didn't hear anyone approaching me until I heard their voice and it startled me.

"Laxus I know that you are upset, but you should come back to the guild. Wendy is getting ready to restore Lucy's memories, and you will be the first that she wants to see." I heard Freed say behind me.

"Do I even deserve to have Lucy by my side when I failed to protect her?" I asked.

"I don't think that she will see it that way. She will want you by her side in her time of need. After all you are her mate." Freed said.

"I failed to protect the one person that meant the world to me and now Wendy will lose something to help her remember." I ground out.

"I am only trying to help Laxus, please don't be upset. Please take time from your anger to be by her side when she wakes back up." Freed said.

"I don't know what right I have to be near her and to hold her, but I will go regardless." Laxus said.

"You have every right to be with her. Just so you know I think that she loves you even without her memories, because somewhere in her heart she knows that you belong together." Freed said and I stared at him in shock.

"How can you be so sure?" I asked.

"You can see it written on her face every time someone mentions you name, so go and be with your lovely mate. I am going to go check on Mira." Freed.

"Are you and Mira a thing?" I asked a bit curious.

"It is possible that something like that will happen in the future." Freed replied and began walking away.

I laughed at the thought of Mira and Freed being together, I could only imagine what their children would be like and the amount of power they would have. I stood up and made my way back to the guild. I knew that I could teleport but I wanted to take my time and go over my thoughts and make sure that I had myself composed before seeing Lucy again. More than anything I wanted Wendy to give her back what she had lost, but I also didn't want her to lose anything for my mistake. Had I just protected Lucy to begin with no of this would have happened. My anger got the better of me yet again and I punched a wall before heading toward the guild. If it took my entire like I would make it up to Lucy and get her to forgive me.

(Lucy's POV)

"Lucy, I have the spell ready that should retrieve your memories, but I need you to know that I don't want you to blame yourself if anything happens to me." Wendy said to me.

"Wendy, I don't want you to do this. Whatever happened to my memories I am sure they will come back in time." I said.

"And what if they don't?" I heard Laxus say from the door and briefly I felt my heart flutter, but why.
