Chapter 21. END
I reread the message over again, trying to accept what had been written down for me. He wanted to end things here where he had belonged for what? I carefully placed the paper down on my bed stand and sat on my bed.
Even though the air felt warm on my cheeks, there was a high possibility that it was tears. Inside something flipped and it made me feel uncomfortable. My eyes stung with pain as my fists balled up the covers underneath me.
He must have had a reason to leave and make this note for me. Him leaving wasn't anyone's fault but I felt that someone would look at me with the blame. I was upset that I didn't know the reason why he left.
He trusted me with everything he had and he doesn't give a second thought about telling me one of the most important thing. Why he left us. And me.
There was a scream from nextdoor and I tried to make myself get off the bed. My hands stayed to grab onto the covers and my face felt numb. There was a slight ache in my cheeks from not taking my medicine already and the sight of liquid dropping from my chin to my shorts.
My ears tried to pick up on any other sounds from outside my room but nothing was to be heard. The silence in the room hurt my hears and I failed at trying to not remember any footage in my mind with Natsu in it.
My door slammed open and Jellal rushed in with Juvia. She had stayed the night I think. I can't remember. My mind was in pain and my legs twitched from not moving but it felt unnatural to me now.
"Lucy! Watch this! I mean listen to th--"
"Lucy, my voice came back!"
Even though all I wanted to do was turn to my left to look at Juvia, I couldn't bring myself to do it. But the sound of her voice brought my silent tears to life. I could feel their gazes burning into me, making me feel worse.
I had always been the one to look brave in these situations but now I was rock bottom because of one boy. I let out a whimper that left my throat stinging, I hadn't even spoke or made a sound since the sight of the card.
I watched Jellal walk towards my stand and pick up the card and read it. He blinked a few times before handing to Juvia and rubbing circles on my shoulder. He tried to move me but my first reaction was gripping harder to not move from this position.
"Lucy, do you think Natsu left to get Juvia her voice back?" He asked me. I opened my mouth to speak. My voice wasn't heard from my ears and I guess I hadn't made a sound by the way Jellal looked at me.
My mouth was still shut and my lips had a tear drop on them. I couldn't look at Juvia. I didn't want to know what her reaction was to what Jellal and I were thinking. My will finally gave in and I stood up.
Jellal dropped the card onto my bed and chased after my after I bolted for the door. Cars whizzed by and I could hear Juvia yelling for me to come back. I heard other voices joining in. Everyone of my friends were no shouting for me.
I tried to sniff out where Natsu was and his familiar scent of wood and smoke was still fresh in the air from last night. I soon found myself in the wood with another scent from another being. I pursed my lips together as I dropped next to a tree.
I could feel myself turning even if it wasn't night. It might have been because of my illness and my emotions gathering up. It might have been a reaction to something in here but I was becoming shorter by the second.
"Lucy! No!" I heard Jellal yell. My small head turned in his direction and his mouth was wide open like everyone else behind him. The look on their faces scared me that they were all scared of ME.
I wanted to wipe those looks off their faces so I don't have to see them anymore.
My little paws started off before I knew it and I was leaping in the air. I went pass Jellal to Gajeel. By sharp nails dug into his collar bone and scraped it. As gravity pulled me down, I watched as biology took over.
Blood started to leak through and his face of terror intensified. I scratched at him again at his wrist and made sure it was deep. The feeling of my nail digging through his skin was revolting to me but something in me wanted to carry on.
"Lucy stop! Please, would Natsu want you to do this?"
Those words hit me and I backed away from Gajeel. Jellal bent down between us and stroked me behind my head to reasure me. "Is she safe?" Erza asked him. My ears perked up at what she had said, even she was afraid.
"Yes, something scared her, that's why she done that. All werewolves are triggured like that to transform without the moon." Jellal explained to them. He looked at me and tried to no look at the human blood behind him.
"You made him bleed bad, Lucy. How can I save him?" He asked me. The thoughts rushed in my head and my height leveled his as I found myself sitting down. I looked down as my paws transformed back to my hands.
Part of me freaked out that I had done it but most of me wanted to find a way to fix him. I looked at Jellal, the only one who could save Gajeel. I could hear his grunts and groans as Levy tried to cover him with torn cloth.
"Jellal, do what Seigrein had done to you."
He looked at me with fright in his eyes. The name had frightened him and angered him but he understood what he had to do. He gently pushed Levy aside and took Gajeel's wrist. I watched as his fangs dug deep into his skin.
It was different from when I had done it. There was no accidental murderous reason behind it but to save him. I gave him my pin, the one I had always worn in my hair. He looked at me and Gajeel again.
"It helps to remember your life as a human to ease the pain..." Jellal murmured before using the pin to scratch on his skin. Soon enough I saw the blood come through. He raised his arm above Gajeel and I watched the blood drip into his mouth.
I watched as my friend from childhood go from a pure human to a vampire before me. I could hear Levy crying and I intincivly reached out for her. She didn't pull away and I watched as the morning light caused Gajeel to go in pain.
"It does hurt at first, it's going to be alright."
Is that how it was going to be?
