Chapter 1-

Lucy's POV:

It's been 8 months since Lisanna has come back to Fairy Tail and everybody is ignoring me except for Wendy, Levy, Gajeel, Happy, Mira, and Master. I now sit at the bar drinking a water, watching everybody still party over Lisanna's return. I feel heartbroken. I remember when Team Natsu came up to me a couple weeks ago to ask me to leave the team.

-Flashback-

I was sitting at the bar drinking my usual vanilla milkshake when Natsu, Erza, Gray, and Lisanna, came up to me.

"Hey Luce, I have to ask you something," Natsu said.

"Sure what's up?" was my response, but thinking about it now I should have just said that I was busy.

"Well we were wondering if Lisanna could take your place on Team Natsu. You're always complaining about how you don't have enough money for rent, plus you can go on more solo missions and get stronger." Natsu told me. In the background Erza and Gray both nodded agreeing with Natsu.

"Sure it's no problem you're right, I guess I could get stronger and pay my rent on time, huh?" I said to Natsu. At this point I was trying to hold back my tears so nobody saw me crying.

"Thanks Luce you're the best!" he gave me a hug and walked away with everybody following him laughing and smiling.

-Flashback end-

It's now two weeks later and I've taken several solo missions already. Each one I took I came back bloodied with my clothes ripped up. Of course Wendy would heal me and give me new clothes, but nobody noticed me. They just kept partying over Lisanna's return. I finished my water and thanked Mira. I came up with a decision and asked Mira if the Master was there.

"Yeah he's in his office, why?" she asked me curiously.

"It's nothing I just have to ask him a question," I replied. I got off my stool and started to walk up the stairs to Master's office. When I got there I knocked on his door and heard him say come in.

I walked into the office and sat down at one of the chairs in front of his desk.

"What is it my child?" he asked me. "Is something wrong?"

"Well Master," I started, "I would like to leave Fairy Tail." I told him. He started to cry, and hugged me, grabbing me tightly.

"W-Why do you want to leave my child. D-Don't leave please," he said sobbing, letting go of me, and looking at me.

"I just can't handle it anymore. I got kicked out of Team Natsu and was basically called weak by my own nakama," I told him. "I'm sorry Master, but it's something I have to do to become stronger."

"I understand my child, how long are you leaving for?" he asked me sadly.

"I don't know if I will be coming back Master," I said looking at him. Master nodded and took my right hand. He covered my hand with his and a soft, light came from it. Ten seconds later he pulled his hand away from mine and my guild mark was gone. I gave Master another hug and heard him whisper softly in my ear, 'Be safe my child and try to come back to us.' I then let go of Master said goodbye and walked out of his office and downstairs. My hands were in my pockets so nobody could see that my mark was gone. I walked out of the guild doors and once they were shut behind me I held up my hand making the Fairy Tail symbol, while my tears were silently streaming down my face. After a few seconds I started walking towards my house to gather up my belongings and give the landlady enough jewels to last me for the next seven years. While there I also wrote three notes to the guild, Team Natsu, and the people that didn't ignore me (see the beginning of the chapter). The first note was to the guild.

Dear Fairy Tail,

If you are reading this then you probably know by now that I left the guild. Please don't try to find me, I left because of certain reasons that are my own. I still love you guys no matter what. I'm not sure if I will come back or not though, but if I do I won't leave ever again. I hope you guys will forgive me for leaving one day. Just know this I will be alright.

Love,

Lucy Heartfilia

The second note was for Team Natsu.

Dear Team Natsu,

I love you guys and don't think I left because of you. Like I said I have my reasons.

Now Gray, you are like the brother I never had growing up and you showed me how fun it was to be in Fairy Tail. For that I thank you. Just give Juvia a chance OK she really likes you, you know? Oh yeah, and please, please, please stop fighting with Natsu for a change will ya? I almost forgot no stripping in my room got that buddy?

Erza, you are also like the sister I've never had before. I looked up to you in the time we got to spend with eacother at the guild and on missions. In truth I think you are really beautiful and should cut Natsu and Gray some slack, after all they are boys. Plus, if I come back I will get you the best strawberry cake ever.

Happy, don't cry little buddy, I will miss you the most. If you stay in high hopes I promise that if I come back I will buy you any type of fish you want for a month. Deal?

Lisanna, don't think that my leaving was your fault either. I didn't know you that well, but what I've heard from Natsu was all good. I swear to you that if I come back I will get to know you better.

Lastly is Natsu. Now I repeat do not come looking for me. You are my best friend and the first one I met at Fairy Tail. You may be annoying at times, but I will miss your craziness. I also don't want you in my room and going through my things while I'm gone. Like I said with Gray, give him a break and stop fighting for a change OK?

Love,

Lucy Heartfilia

The last note was for the only people that didn't ignore me.

Dear Wendy, Levy, Happy, Gajeel, Mira, and Master,

I know you are all probably worried about where I am right now, but I promise you I am perfectly fine. I will miss you guys the most and thank you for not ignoring me when Lisanna came back. You are also probably wondering why I left. I told Master so he can tell you, but you must promise not to tell anybody the specific reasons about why I left, no matter how much they beg you. I will still wright the Master letters for each of you updating you about what's going on with me. I love you all.

Love,

Lucy Heartfilia

I put each of the notes on my desk knowing that Natsu and the others would find them soon after they figured out I was gone, which wouldn't be long. I wrote each of the respective names on the envelope to the letter and put them in a neat pile. Looking around my room once more I walked out the door and headed towards the Magnolia train station. Once there I looked behind me at the guild in the far distance and whispered before getting on the train, 'Goodbye Fairy Tail we'll meet again soon.'

Thanks for reading, now please review. If you put a fiery one up I'll just feed it to Natsu, he's hungry. XD -Gummy bears are chasing me
