She was on her knees as tears streamed down her pale cheeks while her hands were clenched in between her breast. Her blonde locks covered her chocolate brown eyes as her body trembled.
"Please…" She cried while bowing her head. "Please don't take them away from me...I'll do anything just please don't take them away from me...I need them... please…"
Hey Lucy! Could you go solo for a while?
"I'll stop being weak...you can take away my soul...you can take away my arms...you can take away my legs...you can take away my money….you can take away my apartment...you can take away anything….just please don't take them away from me." She lifted her head up and stared at the ceiling as the last word escaped from her chapped lips.
Hey Lucy! We were thinking that it would be better if we replace you with Lisanna, will you be alright with that?
"You're going to take them away from me aren't you?" She giggled bitterly while unclenching her hands before banging her head onto her bed. "You're going to take them away because I don't deserve them. You're going to take them away because I'm too weak." Her tears stopped before she stood up.
I'm sorry Lu-chan you can't join my team because we already reached the limit of members when Gajeel and Pantherlily just joined.
"You took them all away from me!" She threw the glass vase onto the ground before sliding all of the pictures on her desk off. "You made them leave me all alone!" She stepped onto the glass before flipping her table and chairs. "What do you want from me?!" Bloody footprints started to appear onto her wooden floor.
Juvia is deeply sorry but Juvia likes being solo and Juvia needs to look strong in front of her Gray-sama!
She threw her desk out of her window making it shatter into tiny little pieces. "You want me to be alone is that it?!" She screamed before pulling her pillows and blankets off of her bed. "You want me to suffer? If that's the case you are doing a great job!" She stopped while looking up at the stars. "This world is...cruel…" She looked down; seeing her keys on the floor she smiled sadly. "Yet...beautiful." She picked them up before laying onto her bed that only had sheets on it. She brought them to her chest before closing her eyes. "Please don't take the only thing that makes me happy away from me…"
.
Snowflakes slowly danced around the small girl that stared up at the broken window while her short brown hair that had a tint of red in it danced with the wind. Her blue eyes were hidden behind glasses while she pulled down her black long sleeved shirt. She didn't shiver as she felt the cold on her bare legs since her black shorts didn't reach her knees. Her right cheek had a moon with a couple of stars surrounding it symbol. She walked toward the desk before tracing a small spot in the right top corner of it.
Lucy + Natsu = Greatest Partners.
"Natsu?" She mumbled to herself before quietly jumping onto the window seal. "You must be Lucy." She carefully stepped onto the bed and made sure to not make it move that much before carefully moving over the sleeping blonde. "You made such a mess." Her black converse shoes lightly touched the wooden floor before she looked around.
She slightly moved the blankets that were into a tight ball before kneeing onto the ground and picking up the pieces of glass. "You really need a vacation." She muttered before throwing the glass into a trash bin while her eyes caught the sight of Lucy's cut up feet. "A very long vacation." She started to clean the cuts before wrapping her feet with the items she found in the first aid kit that was in the bathroom.
Lucy lightly snored before the girl picked up the pictures and put them onto the table she put back along with the chairs. The girl looked over and spotted the fairy tail symbol and she smirked. "A fairy huh?" She put the blanket on top of the sleeping girl. "Why is a beautiful fairy crying herself to sleep? Has my stupid brother hurt you too?" She lifted her head up slowly before putting the pillows underneath. "Celestial Spirit Magic...what a very beautiful magic."
"Ray!" A squeaky voice shouted trying to find the quiet voice of the girl. "Ray! What are you doing here?" A silver neko questioned with curious ember green eyes looking at her through the broken window.
"Be quiet." Ray whispered while pointing at the girl. "She's sleeping. Don't wake her up." She smiled softly as the neko nodded. "Kris, could you bring the desk up here? And be careful while you're doing it please." Why was she helping her out? The neko didn't know but he did what he was asked. "Thank you."
Kris lifted up the desk before carefully fitting it through the window and landing it beside the short girl. "Ray why are you here?" He whispered while watching her put the desk in front of the wall and beside the bed. "Why are you cleaning?"
"I listened to everything that she had said." Memories rushed through her head as she frown slightly. "I want to help her...I don't want her to be afraid of weakness...I don't want her to do something stupid." Ray looked at her left arm before shaking her head. "Come on let's go get some rest." She laid down on the futon before closing her eyes while feeling Kris snuggle up to her tiny chest.
.
The sun rays hit Lucy's face forcing her to open her eyes before they widen when she felt the soft blanket on top of her. She sniffed the air and her eyes widen even more when she realized it was the smell of pancakes that lingered in the air. She shot up making the blanket fall off of her before her feet touched the cleaned floor. My feet are wrapped...who did this? Lucy thought before slowly making her way toward the kitchen and her eyes widen when she saw a little kid sitting at her kitchen table eating.
"Who are you kid?" Lucy blurted out before kicking herself mentally at how rude she sounded.
"I'm not a kid." Ray glared while crossing her arms over her chest. "I'm 15 for your information and what? No thank you for helping you out?" She motioned for Lucy to sit down. "I made breakfast you better eat before it gets cold."
"Thank you…." Lucy started to dig in before smiling at how delicious it was.
"Call me Ray." Ray deadpanned before putting her dishes into the sink. "Now please explain to me why you were threw your desk out of the window and cut up your feet last night." She sat back down before putting her chin on her palm.
"I need to get stronger." Lucy whispered while looking at her half eaten pancake. "I was too weak so he took them away."
"Who took who away?" Ray asked while raising an eyebrow before leaning closer.
"God...he took away my nakama...he wants me to suffer."
Ray laughed. "He didn't take your nakama away. They left you." Ray stood up before holding out her hand. "Come join me. You won't be alone anymore."
Lucy looked up and finally noticed her symbol on her cheek. "What guild are you from?" She questioned. Why would you want me to join you? I'm too weak. "Why would you want someone as weak as me in your guild."
"Come join the guild Everlasting Moon." Ray looked at Kris before smiling. "You're not weak. You just haven't unlocked your full power yet and we will help you, isn't that right Kris?" The neko nodded before landing on her head.
Lucy took her hand before smiling. "Thank you." She stood up. "We have to go to the guild to let them know I'm quitting." She frowned slightly. "It's going to hurt to let them go."
"Sometimes it's better to let go then try to hold on to it." Ray hugged Lucy's waist. "First stop: Fairy Tail." They vanished into smoke before appearing into the guild hall. "Let's hurry up before my master gets angry at me for running late."
"What magic do you have?" Lucy asked.
"We need to hurry." Why was she nervous? She has been waiting to see her brother for year but not like this she needs to show him that she was stronger than he will ever be. They walked up the stairs to the second floor without being noticed.
Lucy knocked onto the door dismissing the weird actions for the smaller girl. "Master Makarov may we come in?" She heard a small yes before they opened the door and stepped inside. "I hate to do this Master since we're nakama but I can't take it anymore…" She closed the door. "I wish to leave the guild."
"If that is what you wish then I shall grant it." His old wrinkly hand hovered over her symbol before a bright golden light appeared as the symbol slowly turned into dust. "I am very sorry about how those brats are treating you my dear...but this is for the better…" He sighed. "Just know that Fairy Tail will always be your home."
"Old man, Fairy Tail won't be her home anymore." Ray blurted out as her eyes narrowed. "She will be welcome into my guild and be treated like family unlike here." Hatred dripped from her voice.
"Who are you?"
"I'm the one who is going to show this guild what it really means to treat someone like family. I'm the one who is going to bring Fairy Tail to the ground."
Ray...what did Fairy Tail do to you to make you hate them so much? Lucy frowned before grabbing her small hand and dragging her out of the door. "What was that all about?" Lucy questioned.
"It's personal." Ray looked up at the taller girl. "Let's go. We have to get you your symbol." Black eyes stared at the girl before the huge wooden doors closed.
.
Black eyes stared at the girl as a frown appeared on his face why does she seem so familiar?
"Who are you? And where are you taking Lucy?"
