Chapter Seven - Fear
"She had a panic attack in coma?!" Pink haired boy shouted at the nurse who just informed him about Lucy's state. The nurse had an uneasy look, she wasn't sure whether to tell Natsu everything or not.
"How is that even possible?" He asked, losing his patience in seconds. He gripped his fists tightly in worry.
"Well, that was kind of unusual behavior, but I believe she'll be fine. There weren't any new incidents so you may go visit her now," she walked away while gripping onto her corner and bitting her lower lip.
"For fucks sake" Natsu cursed and walked in Lucy's room. She was in the same spot, same pose, same pajamas and same emotionless face as the day before.
"Hey Luce.."
Natsu continued coming every day for nearly a month, he brought her flowers, sometimes even chocolates. Lucy's condition didn't have any drastic change until few days ago when she moved her hand. It gave Natsu hope that she'll wake up soon.
"C'mon Luce, you gotta wake up.. I really miss you.." he said while holding her hand with their fingers collided together. His eyelids felt heavy and soon enough, the sleep completely consumed him.
Natsu's relationship with Lisanna was going fine, she understood his concern for Lucy and let him be around her as long as he needed to, he was grateful for her understanding.
"L-Lucy.." he gently whispered in his sleep and reflexively tightened his grip on her hand.
Lucy was startled in her sleep as she jolted up from her bed. Her forehead was sweaty as she was panting heavily. She looked at her right hand, where her guild mark was placed, a smile crept on her lips as she went to stroke it but felt something in her stomach and chest.
A sharp pain struck her as she forcefully threw her back on the bed, wincing in pain. Natsu could tell something was off when he didn't feel Lucy's hand in his, he heard her cry and immediately pulled himself together.
"What's wrong?! What's happening!" He panicked as Lucy tossed in bed, her whole body burned from the inside out and it was visible since her whole body was shaking from pain.
"Luce, you gotta tell me what's wrong! Please!" He yelled in despair.
"Natsu... call the.. doctor... please... ahh!!" she begged as those were the only words she managed to utter before screaming in indescribable pain.
Natsu rushed out of the room and called for doctors. The whole medical team ran to him, clearly alarmed. He told them that Lucy woke up in great pain. They didn't think twice before rushing in, not letting Natsu with them.
"Let me in! I want to see her! Lucy!" He punched the locked door, "Please! Let me in.." his punches got weaker as his feelings finally caught up with him. He was happy to see her awake, but now she's locked away.
He slid from the door on his knees as tears blurred his sight. His whole body was shaking from just remembering how pained her face looked, she looked in more pain then on any job they have ever been. It shattered his heart. He begged Mavis to help her, since he couldn't.
"Excuse me sir, are you okay?" The nurse on call duty asked as Natsu sat on the waiting chair with his hands supporting his head while hot liquid endlessly dropped to the floor.
"I'm fine." He growled deeply as a warning, he didn't want anyone to even look at him until he knew everything was okay with his best friend.
"You don't look fine, sir, can I help you somehow-" she stopped mid sentence as she noticed his death glare on her. His eyes were glowing red and swallowed with tears at the same time, if looks could kill, she would be dead in seconds.
"I'm sorry for bothering.." she whispered in fear and quickly walked away.
"Ugh.. Luce.." he silently uttered as new wave of ache struck him. His chest felt heavy and uneasy, his heart was beating out of his chest from fear, like something bad was coming.
"What.. is this feeling..?" Natsu stared at his trembling hands as if they held an answer to his question.
W-Why am I so terrified..? He thought as drop of sweat made contact with his uncontrollably trembling palm.
