'Flashback'

"NATSU!" Lucy screamed as Natsu fell on the floor barely conscious. Erza and Gray were lying on the ground unconscious. Lucy's arms and legs were scraped, her blood was freely trickling down but she didn't care. Her blue short skirt was ripped while her orange top was all dirty from the mud.

Natsu tried standing up but he was too weak to. "Ha-ha, you're too weak to stand up young Natsu, I can see that you're in a lot of pain right now" the wizard smirked.

"S...Shut up!" Natsu shouted.

"Well let's end all your pain and misery here" he said as he took out a knife from his black cloak. He was about to stab Natsu when Lucy ran to the wizard and pushed him. The man was startled, but he quickly gained consciousness and was back on his feet.

"No! I won't let you touch Natsu! Let alone kill him!" she said as she stood in front of Natsu with her hands out.

"L…Lucy…wh...What…are you…?" Natsu began when he was interrupted.

"My, my, what do we have here? An injured girl protecting a barely alive boy? How pathetic!" the wizard in the black cloak laughed, "you don't stand a chance against me! I'll kill you little girl!" and with that he stabbed Lucy in the chest.

"LUCY!" Natsu screamed as he crawled over to the now barely alive Lucy. He held her in his arms with tears trickling down his dirty face, "Lucy…" he began when Lucy's brown eyes looked at his onyx ones.

"Na… Natsu… please… tell the gui… guild good… bye…" and with that she closed her eyes. Her face was getting paler and paler by the second.

"LUCY! No! NO! Don't die Lucy we need you! I need you!" Natsu was shaking her, "LUCY!" Her blood was on his hands. He started to cry. He hadn't cried this hard since he lost Igneel.

"Well I guess my work is done here" the man said and stepped into the shadows and left.

Present

The whole of Fairy Tail was crying and if not, than they were very sad. But the saddest of them all was team Natsu. The funeral was held straight away and everyone who knew Lucy attended. They buried her in the park near the big oak tree when Natsu tried to dig a hole using Vigro.

After the funeral the Fairy Tail everyone once knew wasn't the same anymore. Cana stopped drinking, Gray stopped stripping, Erza didn't eat as much cake anymore, and Elfaman didn't say anything about manliness once while the rest of the guild just kept silent, but Natsu didn't do anything anymore.

After a week of staying silent, everything was starting to get back to normal. However team Natsu still didn't do anything and neither did Natsu.

In a month everything was back to normal. Well not everything, everything except Natsu, who still didn't do anything. No matter how many times the blue cat Happy pleaded, Natsu wouldn't budge.
