Lucy POV

I felt so useless as I watched Natsu, Gray, and Erza attempt to beat up the monster while on our job request. I wish I was able to help but, I was already out of magic power. Sometimes I feel so weak.

"Lucy," Natsu said "since you're not doing anything why don't you go look for the coin we were assigned to find. Happy can come with you, right Happy?"

"Aye, sir." Happy replied.

Right, I was too busy thinking about how useless I am that I forgot the actual goal of our mission wasn't to beat up a monster, but to find a gold coin. This coin is really important to the family that gave the request because it was passed down from generation to generation, so they were devastated when they lost it in this forest. I didn't get a good description of it but apparently this coin has a picture of a fairy on it.

"Alright, I'll look for it. Come on Happy lets go."

This coin shouldn't be too hard to find, right?

While Looking For The Coin (still Lucy POV)

"Ugh, Happy where could that stupid coin be? We looked every where." I asked the small blue neko.

"Maybe it appeared in that bush we just looked in." Happy replied

"I don't think so, Happy." I said

All of a sudden, I heard what sounded like crying.

The person who is crying must be in serious pain, because I remember the last time I cried like this was when my mother died. I felt really bad so, I was going to try and find this person so I can help them in any way I can.

"Happy I'm going to go see where that crying is coming from, go back to the others." I said while running off towards the noise.

Just before Happy became out of view I looked back and saw him. It seemed he was very confused. He then started walking in the opposite direction of me. He was probably heading back to Natsu, Gray, and Erza like I told him to.

As I was running towards the sound, I noticed the trees started getting thicker and thicker.

' I am probably getting closer to the middle of the forest.' I thought to myself.

I then entered a clearing. To me this clearing looked really unnatural because it was a perfect circle and when I say perfect I mean PERFECT. One other weird thing about this clearing is on one half of the clearing all the grass is dead but on the other half all the grass is green and growing.

Even though this stuff was crazy weird I was not paying attention to any of this. I was running towards the middle of the circle where I saw the source of the crying. It was a girl about my age with her hands and feet nailed to a tree. Her head was hanging to the side and she sort of looked like she was dead.

As I was getting closer to the girl I started to see what she looked like. She had deep purple hair and blood red lips. I noticed that every part of her eyes were white. Because of this I knew she was cursed. This made me want to help her even more then before.

I approached her and started trying desperately to pull out the nails from her hands and feet right away. They wouldn't budge. The person who put those nails in wanted them to stay in. The girl who I was trying to help looked at me, stopped crying, then she started to talk.

" My eyes were left with tears when I was told my happiness wasn't real

I then bent and snapped until all of my soul was black

I was like a hurricane steadily growing worse

How could I, such a good girl be burdened with this curse

Now my hands are full of blood

And my teeth are spilling lies

No one ever sees me

Because no one cared how I was

This is my story"

After I heard what she said I started to cry. I can't believe she went through that. Right there, right then I swore I wouldn't leave this plain until I broke her curse.

After thinking for a while I had an idea on how to help her, even though I'm really low on magic power, maybe if I concentrated I might have just enough power to summon one of my silver key spirits to help me.

'I should at least try' I thought so, I attempted to summon my cross and, it worked!

"Do you have any information on how I can save this girl?" I asked my celestial spirit.

"Let me see." He replied. Then fell asleep.

When the cross woke up he said, " There is a way to save this girl but it would require a lot of magic. If you don't have enough magic you could die."

"Thank you, what is the spell?" I asked.

" It is 'oh stars of heaven save this one from the darkness that has devoured its soul. Get rid of all the sins one has committed while in the darkness. All the stars of the universe shine.' This is the spell but Lucy, I don't think you should use this spell you might die."

"Thanks for your concern, but I'm doing the spell even if it kills me." I stated

A/N

This is my very first fan fiction and I'm really not sure if I should continue. If you have any ideas on how I can improve my story please I'm all ears.
