I could hear Erza and Gray crying. After all, their friend had just died.

"Natsu, we have to go!"

I wasn't listening. I was rocking back and forth. Sobbing, with Lucy in my arms.

"C'mon, Lucy. It's time to go home now. Wake up. Please wake up!"

The next thing I knew, I was being dragged up. And we were all running away. Me, with Lucy in my arms. The sounds of our running feet, and our sobs.

Everything after that is a blur for me. The gloom that took over the guild. Her funeral...that I didn't go to.

I don't know how it is now. I haven't been to the guild. I don't want to go.

It's been a couple months now. Since it happened. And it still hurts, just as much as when it happened.

I lay down in her bed, and drink in the familiar smell.
