Chapter 8
Lucy slowly yawn at the book she read. The book was ineteresting but somehow Lucy find it boring. So she close the book and pick another one. The E.N.D. book catch her eyes. Her hands were moving by itself to the book and opened it.
A monster, no, it's human with horn and red wings also with tatoo around his body was placed right in the first page. The illustration of E.N.D, it wrote below the picture.
E.N.D. was the strongest monster from Zeref's book. Now, before we continue let's talk about Zeref. Zeref was the strongest black mage that was believed can't die. He was seen several times with Agnologia. Agnologia was the dragon king which was actually human. He somehow managed to kill hundred even thousands dragons and bath in their blood. This make him slowly turn into dragon. Zeref has already created many kind of monster which was extremely strong. But the strongest from all of the monster was E.N.D. E.N.D. was still a mystery for us. None has ever seen this monster. None has known what it stand for. Some says that it was actually a dead people he retrieve and soon become his strongest monster. But of course it was only a rumour. E.N.D. was created four hundred years ago so nobody really know who is this E.N.D. is.
And it end. It was extremely weird for it to end there. The book was thick, about one hundred page but why it was only filled with one paragraph. The next page was blank. The rest was blank too. It was really weird. Lucy tried to examine the book but she get nothing. None of the page was broken or ripped from the book.
"Yo, Lucy! What's with the book?" Natsu suddenly ask from no where.
"Natsu!" She shrieked a little before giving him a glare.
"Don't scare me like that!" She scold making Natsu pout. Slowly, Natsu then sit beside her, resting his head on her shoulder to get a sniff of her sweet scent.
"So, how's your training?" Lucy ask softly. The book was now forgotten.
"It was great! Igneel teach me some new technique!" Natsu exclaim through her blonde hair. Lucy laughed at his cheerfulness.
"So, where's Igneel?" Lucy ask again.
"I don't know. He said he need to go somewhere." Natsu answered making Lucy nod her head.
"I need to meet Erza today." Lucy said.
"Why?" Natsu ask, lifting his head from her shoulder.
"She said she need to tell me something two days ago." Lucy said with a mix of confuse and corious.
"Is it important?" Natsu ask, dissapointed that he can't spent his evening with Lucy.
"By the look she give, I think it's important." Lucy said. Her hand moved to cupped her chin as her brain remembering the look Erza give when she tell her that she need to meet her. Her eyes show totally seriousness. She was really serious.
"Alright then. But I'll walk you to there." Natsu insist making Lucy chuckle at his protective side.
"I didn't know that dragons are this protective." Lucy tease when at the reality she has know that dragons are really protective toward what they own.
"You are my mate." Natsu scoffed as his hand move to her waist and hugged it tightly.
"I know i know." Lucy said, hugging him back.
"You're not going anywhere without me, alright." Natsu said as he tightened his hug. In response, Lucy hummed softly.
"Promise?" His pinkie finger were now pulled out, ready to make the promise seal.
"Promise." Lucy said. Her pinkie finger circled his and make the seal. The promise now has it seal.
Their sweet moment was unfortunately broken by a cough which came from Igneel. Natsu who didn't like the disturbance only could whine slowly.
"Oh, Igneel!" Lucy shrieked a little, surprised that Igneel suddenly appeared with a cough.
"I also didn't like to disturb you guys but I heard that Lucy need to meet someone and it will be dawn soon. So, quick and go." Igneel said to them. Among the words, Lucy realized something and blushed something.
"Y-you have saw us from the start?" She whisper slowly with a small gasp.
"Pfttt.. Of course I did." Igneel said, trying to not laugh at her shyness. They have a little talk before they start to walk to the city.
Erza has instructed Lucy to meet her in the park then they would talk in somewhere more private. Erza also has said that maybe they will meet a little late since she has work to do. So now was the perfect time. It was about three in the evening which she think that Erza's job must have done.
By the time they arrived, Erza was already there. Today, her clothes wasn't her usual armor with her blue skirt. It was more casual today. She is wearing a white shirt with blue skirt. Well, her skirt was like usual but her top wasn't.
"Erza!" Lucy called cheerfully. Erza hesitantly turn her head and give her a weak smile. She know the news she is going to give will make her sad. That's why she choose to not wear her armor. So that when she cry, she could hug her without any pain.
"Lucy.." Erza mumbled sadly. Lucy realized this and frown at the change of her behavior.
"What's with the gloomy aura?" Lucy ask coriouly.
"It's nothing." Erza answered with a big smile which Lucy could tell was fake.
"Yo, Erza!" Natsu greet from behind, waving his hand to her.
"Oh, Natsu. Companying her as usual, huh?" Erza said in amusement. For Erza, watching a couple was rather cute but then when the couple did a move, she would blush madly and stammered. She has a loveless life. When she was child, she has many childhood friend. But only one did catch her attention. But as quick as he catch her, as quick as he dissapeared. They used to live in a orphan and he was suddenly adopted and never come again.
Then, when she grow up, she was attached by sword and armor so she learn them more. She even use magic that consist of sword and armor. Her magic was quick. It attack strongly. Soon, she become popular of how strong she is and was fear by many people. Men never have the guts to approach her. So yeah, she never has experienced love anymore.
"Of course, don't wanna what's mine get lost or attacked or even kidnapped." Natsu said making both Erza and Lucy blush.
"Alright, come on!" Erza beamed dragging them together.
"Wait, I can come with you guys?" Natsu ask. Last time, he may not come with them.
"You have to. She will need you later." Erza explained.
"Alright!" Natsu yelled happily. For the first time, he could finally hear what they're going to talk about. But he didn't know. Later, he regret taking Lucy there. The news were terrible to hear.
