A life without Magic (NaLu fanfic)

At The Brim Of The Glass

~Lucy~

Something was different to what I'm seeing....Hey, it's a little cute girl. She's running around an icy garden as her mother laughed at her silliness...wait.....is this...me? I-It's my memory!

Then there was a sudden knockings on the door. "Oh," Mom said. "I'll just go get it. Lucy, Michelle, stay here, okay?" I watch her tell those to her little two children as she left the garden and entered the mansion.

"Hm!" The two girls nodded happily in reply. I followed her out and suddenly something hit me. This memory, this part of my life.....I know what's gonna happen next....N-No! I ran to my mom. "Stop!" I exclaimed, but she doesn't seem to hear it, I leaned forward to grab her wrist, but....What..? My hand just passed through her. I looked up at her and she was already opening the door. No! Mother! No!

"Oh well, Hello. Who are you?" She asked, smiling at the unknown visitor. She looked down to see three more kids. Three girls, one was white haired, another was black haired and the next was a little red head.

"Are you Layla Heartfilia?" The man asked.

"Yes I am.....What...is your business here?" She asked, her face getting serious. She clenched the door knob, ready to close it just in case.

"I'm here to pay back what I owe." The man looked up and I noticed my mother gasp in horror as she recognizes the man. She quickly tried to shut the door, but the man blocked it with his foot.

"Go ahead, Girls! Apply what I taught you!" They all smiled and mother exclaimed in surprise, taking a step back as the three little innocent looking girls attacked her mercilessly...I can't watch this! Tears started to drip down as I covered my face with both of my hands.

"Stay here, Michelle, I'll be back." I heard the voice of a little girl in the midst of a blood curdling scream from the other side of the room. Then I saw the younger me, running here and paused as she witnessed the horrors of the real world. The murder people called that was unknown to her. "Mother!!!" She called, but no use, when they noticed her...

"Crap! She has children??" The man said, covering his face. "Come on! Let's go home. You did good, girls!" Then the three girls ran out, but the white haired girl caught a glimpse of the crying little girl, and so did the red head. "What are you waiting for?!?" With that being said, they both ran away with the other one. Then the man smile sadistically. Slamming the door and said. "Well, I'm glad you know what happens to you when you don't listen!"

"Mother!" The younger me ran to her bloody dying mother as she laid in her own puddle of blood, tears dropping from her eyes to the red crimson floor. "Mother! Mother!" Her voice was trembling and her pain could just strike through your heart.

I don't want to see this! "Mother!!" I exclaimed, sitting up in a bed. Huh? Where am I? Then I noticed that I was in a hospital room. I have an oxygen mask? I removed the mask looked aroun. What happened to me--Ouch! I touched my head and it was wrapped in bandages...what happened in the room?

"Oh no! Natsu! I gotta save him!" I stood, feet a bit wobbly, but managed to do so. I ran down the halls with haste, but no luck. With these many people, it's going to be difficult. I went to a corridor where people don't usually pass through and My eyes caught a glimpse of the color red spilling on the floor at the edge of the corner.

Blood...? What the helll...?

~Mira~

"What did you want us to do, Mira?" Erza said. I turned to look at Minerva and she shrugged in reply.

"Didn't Minerva explain it to you?" Erza shook her head. I patted my skirt, as if it would make both of us ready to what I would tell her. "Lisanna's after Lucy, the blonde." I told them.
