~Chapter 16, The Pain~
~Lucy's Pov~
Natsu made me stay in our room while he went to find out what was going on leaving Happy with me. I was laying on the bed staring at the ceiling that had star prints on it. "Lushie are you ok?" Happy asked sounding worried as I lifted my hand on it the air not answering. The truth, I wasn't. I could feel it. The magic itself making my mind and body feel torn. The memories of Anna Heartfilla flooding my head. "Lushie?" Happy asked touching my shoulder as I turned my head smiling toward him, putting on a fake smile again I was.
"I'm fine just a small headache" I lied as Happy nodding believing it. After so long faking my emotions in that prison camp, I had gotten good at it. I wasn't sure if I could fool Mira or Erza. Levy, Happy and Natsu I was just able to. "Lushie you got us very worried" Happy had teary eyes as I sat up putting my hand on his head. I caused them even more pain. I was selfish. I wanted Natsu to remember me so much, him and Happy suffered because they was able to. I was able to see that in Happy's eyes.
He was hurting so much because of me. "Happy would you check on Natsu for me?" I soon asked as Happy nodded wiping his eyes before growing his wings on his back and fly out the open window. "ANNA YOU CAN'T!" I heard a voice echo in my head as I grabbed it in pain. Anna's memories. They was so painful. I was losing my own memories them being replaced by hers. "To protect my friends, my family I will fight to my last breath.....you know that Zeref" I heard Anna's voices as my eyes widen.
Zeref......T-the Dark Wizard.....Anna was close to him? I had so many questions about this Anna. I felt my eyes watering as I fell onto my knees. I was trying to remember something that was once so important to me. How I met Natsu and Happy. All I remember now was him holding my hand smiling. That was it. I covered my mouth as I felt tears going down my cheeks. I hated it. I hated myself. I blamed myself for being too weak to deal with this new power. My body was able to handle it but my mind.....it couldn't take the memories.
It couldn't take the facts. It-it couldn't handle this. I was losing myself. It hurt. When new memories replaced my old I felt pain throughout my body. I hurt my heart knowing I would soon forget everyone. I was trying to fight. I was trying to win. I was failing. I couldn't. I was unsure on how I was going to do this. I was unsure if it was best to let me keep living. Anna's mind was able to handle this magic but her body was unable and with me it was the other way around. I looked toward the door as I heard it knocking.
I wiped my tears as I got up shaky at first as I walked to the door opening it to see Princess Luna. Her light brown hair matching the walls outside the room and her dark skin blending with the lights. "You have been crying?" she asked in some shock as I rubbed the back of my neck. "Just a sad memory that is all" I answered not fully lying. The feels of remembering those voices felt sad. Anna was sad when it happened. "I want to say sorry, I heard from Natsu what things have happened to you and your family" Luna spoke getting on one knee bowing to me.
I was in shock. "Please there is no need, at first before I was even caught, all I wanted was to die" I spoke with no emotion as Princess Luna's face moved up staring at me in shock. "I thought my family had forgotten all about me, I thought I would never be saved and in end I was in pain.....the pain I still have now" I spoke offering my hand to the Princess who was still in shock. "Thanks to your Kingdom in a way I got some hope back" I then whispered smiling as she took my hand. I helped her onto her feet.
"May I ask, what kind of gifts do you have, from what Erza speaks I have Pain Gifts, able to make someone feel more pain than normal, mess with their senses and so on" Princess Luna asked as I heard running headed to us. I looked to see Erza and Mira as Princess Luna turned around confused seeing them. Both out of breath as they stopped when in front of the Princess in front of me. "You both look worried" I spoke sounding worried myself as my mind went to if someone was hurt. "Lucy are you alright?" Mira asked right away looking toward me.
A figure. They must of faced one. They only knew some parts of what was happening to me, they might only know not a lot but they knew too much. They had big mouths to get everyone worried about me. They want to test me this way. "Fine, just sad that I will be missing the small gathering Love and Lucky were having for my father" I spoke not fully lying as I couldn't pull a true lie on Mira when she looked like that. She only nodded slowly as Erza walked up to me grabbing my shoulders.
She was looking right into my eyes shocking me. "You can tell us anything Lucy, I may not remember everything, I may not remember how we met but we are sisters, I remember that. I want to help you anyway I can" Erza spoke making me smile and my eyes water. To hear her admit that, it truly gave me the strength to keep fighting but.....I couldn't tell them. I knew my fighting would only slow down the process. I was sooner or later going to die, no matter what world I was in.
