Dragon's Tears

Chapter 3

Erza waited, she wanted to know if he could hear her voice and she looked into his eyes. They were completely black, black as the ashes what were an hour ago a massive forest full of life and living animals. The only emotions she could see were: Anger that was pointed at everything around him and mostly himself and regret of letting Lucy get hurt. The requipt mage was shaking ‘because her legs and arm were starting to give up on her, but she needed to stay strong and hold her back straight to protect her friends against ‘Natsu’ the dragon in front of her. She was as high as his feet and if she had to fight him she would not have the power to make a scratch on him, on his thick red scales. Erza wanted to take a look at her wounded friends, Wendy who was unconscious ‘cause she used to much healing magic, Grey was on his knees and didn’t even had the power to look up, Charla who was trembling in fear and hided against the blue exceed, Happy was taking care of Charla and he was exhausted and a bit burnt, but she knew if she would look away the dragon would attack. The red haired mage herself was bruised, exhausted and her feet were burnt off the ground underneath her. She didn’t care if her feet were killing her she had to stand, she may not give in, she had to keep her ground, and she had to fight for the ones dear to her.

The dragon blew some steam out of his nose and lowered his head to the ground with his nose now right in front of Erza. His eyes were looking at her. There ran a chill through her spine of it, those eyes were scary, it looked like you were looking in a black hole. The red dragon growled inside his mouth and he blew some wind at her. Erza was too weak to keep her ground and fell back on the ground. She sat a bit straight but she was still leaning on the dry ground underneath her with her bruised arms. She saw in her eye corner that Grey and Happy were looking at the scene.

Grey was a bit confused seeing the strong mage half beaten. He wanted to help but he didn’t had the power, couldn’t even lift his head, he turned his head a bit to the left to see the scene and that cost already a lot of his little energy he had left. Happy was sitting right in front of him and was taking care of Charla, he felt her crying and shaking. He didn’t want to see Natsu how he looked now, angry, in pain and letting his nature go wild. Grey looked at Wendy who laid next to him. “What’s going on, Wendy?” He barely whispered “Why is Natsu like this?” He spoke a little louder “Why is he a dragon?” The ice mage was getting angry ‘cause is best friend has turned in to a dragon and he was destroying everything on his path. Wendy opened one eye and mumbled something, but it was too soft to hear. Grey got a bit closer to Wendy and she whispered: “The dragon has lost his treasure...” Grey sat a bit straight again “His treasure… Lucy?” Grey looked in shock, took his last power to look at the dragon. “He blames himself of hurting Lucy?”

*Erza and Gray walked to him and stood next to him looking to the same side. They booth heard the fire mage mumble something “It’s all my fault..” Erza put her hand on his shoulder and spoke even it was almost a whisper: “It’s not your fault.” Then something happened Erza and Gray didn’t expect to happen... A single tear came down his eyes... Gray whispered “Natsu?”*

Remembered that moment, “Natsu it’s not your fault…” The ice mage spoke. Erza heard this and see looked if Natsu would react. The dragon took his eyes of the red haired woman and now looked at the exhausted blue haired mage a few meters behind her. He growled at him and still looked mad, no, he looked furious.

“Why is it so dark here?”

The air surrounding the dark red dragon was getting hotter and darker. The air was full of black clouds and sometimes you heard thunder. There was no rain and even there was it would vaporize in a second ‘cause of the heat. The forest was completely black of all the ash and it reeked. There were no more animals and the forest was in total silence again, the only sound was a tree falling sometime because the wood was burnt. The ground was dry and full of ash. It was sad, everything was dark, the wood what was feared ‘cause of the creatures within and the dangerous paths is now a lifeless place full of ash and the scent of death. The dark castle inside of the forest is now a pill of thrash and the history in the old castle has been destroyed, painting, knight armors, old furniture and the building itself. Nothing is left. The mountains who are surrounding the place have black spots all over them of the ashes that flew up into the air and fell down on the mountains.

The dragons head got a little closer to Grey, but when the dragon wanted to get closer he felt something prick him, it didn’t hurt but it was annoying. His head went back in front of Erza who laid her sword next to her. It took a lot of strength to lift her sword but see wanted to protect Grey and the others. The dragon his eyes were looking at the red haired mage and then at her sword. He lifted his paw, picked up her sword between his big nails. Erza looked at his action and knew she didn’t have the power to requipt another sword. With his nails he easy snapped the sword and looked back at Erza. The red haired woman’s sword snapped and on the exact the same moment her faith did the same.

The dragons’ nose was right in front of Erza and Erza felt her tears role off her cheek. The only thing what Erza couldn’t think of was: “It’s over, were gone be killed by one of our closest friends!” At that moment the red haired mage heard steps, small, light steps. Erza looked at the side of the dragons’ head, a familiar blond walked there.

She laid her hand on the cheek of the dragon and ran her hand on his scales till she was in front of the beast, in front Erza and the others. The girl had brown eyes, blond hair that was covered with dirt and blood. Her light pale skin was covered with bruises, sweat and ash. She looked up into the dragons’ eyes with no fear for the beast that could kill her with one hit. Her eyes were full with emotions and under her eyes marks of dried tears. She spoke softly “Natsu, please, stop”

It was Lucy…
