Chapter 5

"Makarov… Charles says the time is near." A spirit with blonde wavy hair and a bright white dress chanted.

"How long?" Makarov questioned. He was tired. So tired. He almost wanted to ditch his job and just rest. But he couldn't. What that cat said he could never forget, and it will always haunt him until that day pass. The day when Lucy returns. Indeed she returns, but unwanted.

"I know you want to rest. Just stay awake for a little bit more please. The guild needs you. Look at everyone now!" The spirit's gentle voice echoed.

"Mavis…you know I-" Makarov began to argue. The amount of fatigue almost consuming him.

"Hush, just do as I say." Mavis disguised her impatience and replied coldly. Then secretly she showered some of her spiritual light over him.

"Now go out there and tell them our plan." She beamed, proud and confidence. With Mavis's curing spiritual light showered upon him, Makarov's fatigue drifted away, and now he marched towards the rest of the guild in pride.

"Alright Kiddos! Listen up! Here's our plan for the Lu.." Mavis closed her eyes and the distance sound of Makarov's voice neared. Exhaling, then opening her eyes, Makarov's voice could no longer be heard from this distance. According to Mavis's plans, things are going just the way they are supposed to. But something didn't seem quite right…only if she could figure out what.

*scene change- Hot tub*

Normal Pov

"Uwahhh! This is soooo relaxing!" Lucy cooed as she sank into the shallow water of the hot tub.

"Mhmm! I told you, you won't be disappointed!" Magi laughed and stretched her slender figure.

"Well, hot things are generally awesome!" Lucy replied, but realizing the mistake again. I'll just have to bare with it, she thought. Then both sides quieted down and enjoyed the remaining few minutes in the hot tub. Lucy closed her eyes and plopped underwater. The water pressure tugged gently at her hair, making them float around. The last time she felt this type of water was back at an amusement park. The night when her nakamas and her relaxed in the outdoor hot springs.

Memories of the past began to flood back. Everything. The goods, the bads, the upsetting and beautiful memories struck Lucy's brain all at once, making her shudder in pain. The memories were moving closer and closer to when Team Natsu kicked her out. She wanted them to stop…no, they needed to stop coming back! It hurts, it hurts so bad. Her lungs burnt, and her body felt weak.

"Lucy!"

"Lucy get out now!"

She heard someone calling her name. Mirajane!, she thought. Then came the darkness.

Lucy's POV

"Hmmm…w-where am I…?" I questioned. I remembered the sudden flash back of memories. That was horrifying. Sure I wanted to keep the good memories, but it felt like…it felt like I was near death. The more my lungs screamed for air, the stranger the memories get. Actually… I'd say they turned to the foreseeing of the future after awhile. I saw buildings crashing down and people screaming in fear. There was a girl there that caught my eye. She was wearing a light blue silhouette with a matching skirt. She stood bare foot. But she wasn't in pain, not like the others. That's how she was different. She had a light smirk on her face, seemed murderous…but also shown sadness-

"LUCY! THANK GOD YOU'RE AWAKE!" I turned around and saw Magi crashing through the doors.

"What happened to me?" I asked.

"You were drowning! In a hot tub! Somehow you were refusing to come up!"

"Well that's one strange event." I laughed. I didn't want Magi to get worried.

"Let's call it a day then!" I leapt out of bed, stumbled a few steps and stood up again.

"You..you sure you're okay?" Magi questioned. She seemed uncertain, but soon relieved as I nodded.

"Well…let's go to my house now!" She beamed. Magi's such a cheerful and happy girl.

Heyyy! I wanted to hurry the updates a bit :D I hope you guys enjoyed this update...I did have a writers block for a day :| Oh and by the way, one cool fact (not sure if it's true tho): Before a human die, they have a memory flashback for 7seconds (or minutes) of all the things that have happened in his or hers life.
Enjoy :P
