OMG! it's another lucy leaves story. LOL, I know, I know, but I wanted to write one too. I plan to add my own spin to the Lucy leaving story so I hope you will enjoy it. Also expect some mythology here as well. BTW, I'll explain the stories name next chapter... I think. But I'm sure most of you will get it pretty quickly.

If you like it or if you hate it, don't be shy. Let me know what you think.

Disclaimer... I do not own Fairy Tail.


Lucy's Fate


Chapter 1


Lucy's POV

I woke up extra early today because I wanted to get a good start to my big day. Ever since I was little Mother always said, "when you turn eighteen I will give you a very special gift, something that no other person has." I still remember her words, but I guess with both Mother and Father now gone, I'll never know what she meant by that. 'Oh! well,' I sighed for a moment.

"Well today is my big day... I'm eighteen or is it twenty five, either way it's very confusing with seven years lost stuck on that island," I yawned and climbed into the shower.

As I stood under the shower my mind wandered to Team Natsu who haven't stopped by like they used to. Lately, they always seem to be to busy hanging out with Lisanna, or off on some mission with her in tow. Truth be told, I've been feeling very lonely lately because no one talks to me at Fairy Tail, other than the usual pleasantries. I've also been going on solo missions for the past few months because of that, but today is my birthday and I'm sure they won't forget. Especially since everyone at Fairy Tail loves to party... 'Any excuse for a party, right!' I laughed to myself. But, the way things have been going lately I'm sure they won't remember it. I hope I'm wrong, after all they're supposed to be my nakama and it would be nice to have someone to talk to for a change!

It's nice being able to have a peaceful shower for a change, but I do kind of miss having Gray, Erza and Natsu cause trouble for me early in the morning.

As I got out of the shower, I dried off and went to my bedroom to change into my new clothes. I made some extra jewels on my last mission so I thought I would buy myself a treat for my birthday. 'Besides, maybe a new look will make me feel better about myself or at least I hope so,' I thought as I started to changed into my new clothes.

This is a very different look for me, because I very rarely wear black and these clothes are all black, so it's a big change from my normal cheerleader look. When I saw those black leather pants in the window at that store, I just had to have them. Even though they are skintight and show of my assets, they're supposed to be very durable and easy to move in. I love my new thigh high black leather boots that hug my legs, they feel so comfortable. I found an old black t-shirt in the back of my closet and I modified it with a few cuts across the top of the chest for ventilation. I laughed to myself. My favorite part of my new outfit was the ankle length black leather coat that freely flowed as I moved.

"I like it! but there's still something missing... Ah! I should do something with my hair?" I said out loud as I reached for my keys.

"Open, gate of the Crab... Cancer," I said as a tall man with sunglasses and a pair of scissors in each hand appeared.

"Haircut-ebi," Cancer said as he looked at me and dropped his scissors. "WOW! hot, hot, hot-ebi," he said as he reached down to pick up his scissors, while never taking his eyes of me. I blushed at him.

"Cancer, could you change my hair color and pull it back into a pony tail, please."

"As you wish-ebi," he said as he quickly completed his task.

"Thank you Cancer. You may go back now," I said as he disappeared. 'Ah this is so good and it suits my new clothes perfectly. My hair was now a deep shade of black, with short bangs just above my eyebrows and a ponytail that was tied up high on the back of my head.'

As I looked in the mirror, I couldn't help but smile... I liked what I saw. I wonder what everyone will think of my new look. 'Time will tell, I guess.' I thought as I left for the guild.

Later at the guild...

As I stood outside the guild, my stomach turned and twisted while my hands started to sweat. Why am I so nervous, it's only a few little changes, besides I'm still Lucy on the inside. "Well, here goes nothing," I mumbled as I reached out and pushed the doors open and proceeded to walk in.

"Morning MIna!" I happily said as I looked around the noisy guild. I thought I heard someone say 'Hey!' but I think that was my imagination.

As I walked towards the bar I could see Natsu and Gray doing their usual thing... fighting that is. Gray was half naked while Natsu was pointing this fact out to Gray as he teased him. Juvia was behind a post near the center of the guild, staring lovingly at Gray, who was totally oblivious to her presence. Happy and Carla were over in a corner talking to a smiling Wendy. Erza and Lisanna were both standing at the notice board searching through the posted missions for something that was interesting and easy as they do everyday. Levy and Gajeel were over in another corner talking to Jet and Droy about recent events.

As I looked up to the balcony I could see the stares that the Thunder God Tribe was giving me. It made me feel very uncomfortable. It seemed to be just another day at Fairy Tail. "Oh Well!" I mumbled to myself.

I sat down at the bar and waited for Mira to serve me, but she never noticed me. "Morning Mira," I said with a smile.

"I'm sorry miss, I didn't see you sitting there. What can I get you?" she said as she cleaned a glass.

"HUH! Mira, it's me Lucy!" I said as I became annoyed. "Can I have my usual, please."

"Sure thing Lucy," she said as she handed me a milkshake. "So why the new look Lucy?"

"Well I just wanted to do something special for myself today. Days like today, only come by once a year," I said with a smile.

"Is that so!" she said. "I like the new look, can I get you anything else?" Mira said as she walked to the end of the bar to talk to Lisanna and Erza.

"I guess not," I softly said as I started drinking my milkshake.

"Natsu, we're going to do this mission, ok," said Erza as she walked up to Natsu and Gray who were still fighting. She screamed at them and they quickly hugged one another as they tried to avoid Erza's wrath.

"I'm fired up!" Natsu said as they all walked towards the door. "Happy let's go."

"Aye! Sir," Yelled the little blue cat as it landed on Natsu's head.

"Should we ask Lucy to come with us," asked Gray as he picked up his clothes.

"Nah! she seems to be busy lately and besides she's not here yet. Probably still in bed," Natsu laughed as they all walked out the door.

"That's enough of this BS," I said as I stood up with tears running down my cheeks. I should have known it would turn out like this.

"Mira, is Master in his office?" I said while trying to wipe the tear from my eyes.

"Yes he is," she said.

As I climbed the stairs and walked past the Thunder God Tribe, the blonde haired mage Laxus asked, "what business do you have with the old man?"

"Nothing I just need to speak with Master!" I sighed as I looked at them, while they glared back at me.

I knocked on Master's door and he said, "come in."

"Wow! is that you Lucy? That look really suits you," he said as he looked me up and down.

"Thank you Master," I said as I started to cry again.

"What seems to be the problem child?" he said as he sat on the edge of his desk.

"Master I'd like to leave Fairy Tail. I don't know how long I'll be gone, but I need a break from this place and these people."

"I don't understand Lucy, what's this about," he said with a dejected look.

"Well Master, for the past few months I've been feeling very lonely here, no one speaks to me any more and today, they even forgot my birthday. Downstairs earlier, Team Natsu didn't even notice that I was here and then they left to go on a mission without me, AGAIN! Because of that, I've been going on solo missions now and I think I may be better off going away for a while so I don't have to keep returning back here after every mission. In other words, I would like to go out and do some freelance work. Besides all of that, I would like to go home for a while. I still have some things I need to figure out about my Mother," I explained.

"Are you sure about this child," he said as he started to cry. "I'll kill those brats for this."

"No, don't do that Master, I'm sure they're not doing it on purpose. I'm sure they're just wrapped up in Lisanna right now," I said as I forced a smile. "Please! Master."

"Very well child, pass me your hand," he said as he held it and chanted a spell. My guild mark glowed pink and then slowly disappeared.

"Thank you Master," I said as I hugged him. "Thank you for giving me a family when I had no one to turn to."

"You're welcome child and you're always welcome here. You will always be one of my brats," he said with a small smile. "Lucy! one thing before you go. Don't forget our rules... okay."

"I won't Master. Thank you and see you soon, I hope!" I said as I walked out of his office.

As I walked pass Laxus and his team, I heard one of them say, "who are you? I hope you never caused any problems for our Master."

"I n-never and I'm sorry for bothering everyone," I said as I burst into tears. "W-Why i-is everyone so m-mean to me t-today?" I softly said as I started to choke on my words.

"Huh! what was that about," I heard Freed say as I ran down the stairs and headed toward the front door.

I stopped at the front doors and looked back at a silent, confused guild and at the top of the stairs I saw Master raise his arm up with the Fairy Tail salute. I gladly returned it to him, raising my own signal back.

"Mina... goodbye," I said as I walked out of the guild. Closing the door behind me.

Later at Lucy's House...

I quickly ran home and packed my bags. I gathered all my money together and prepared to leave for my home town on the next train.

After I had everything packed, I went to see the Landlord and thanked her for taking care of me for all these years and said goodbye to her. She even gave me a hug. 'Who knew she could be so nice,' I thought as I went back to my apartment.

"Open the Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!" I said as I held up Virgo's key.

"Punishment Mistress!" said the pink haired girl in the maids outfit.

"No Virgo, no punishment," I said as I laughed. "Can you please store my things for me, please!"

"Sure! mistress," she said as she moved everything in a flash to another dimension.

"Thank you Virgo, you may go now" I said.

"As you wish mistress. OH! and congratulations on your birthday. We will all see you before this day is over and we have gifts too," she smirked and vanished.

"Thank you... at least some of my friends remembered," I said happily for the first time today.

"I'm gonna miss Magnolia Town. Well time to go," I said as I locked the door behind me.

AN POV (later that afternoon)

Everyone was still trying to figure out what had happened earlier, when two figures appeared at the center of the guild.

"I'm Layla Hartfillia and this is my husband Jude. We need to see Lucy..." she said.


I will try to keep all chapters of this story the same length as this chapter. That way I should be able to do maybe one chapter a week on both of my stories, unless work gets to busy. LOL

So has anyone figured out the stories title yet? if not, I may explain next chapter then.

Please let me know what you think of this story.
