Lucy: I am the main character again? YAYE!
Happy: Why are you leaking in the story Lucy?
Lucy: I DON'T KNOW YOU STUPID CAT!
Natsu: Exceed actually…
Lucy: *Death Stare*
Natsu Eep!
Me: *Face Palm* I don't own Fairy Tail.
Natsu: HELP!
I run, and as I do tears spill over. They race down my cheeks and the cold winter wind makes the tear streaks even colder. My heart is bursting and burning with hurt. I am growing tired, but I won't stop. I will not rest, not even for a second. I can't, not after that happened. Stupid guild, I loved them like family, my brothers and sisters. Why? Why did this happen? They must hate me, that is the only reason
The sun begins to set and my breathing comes in shallow breaths. I don't know where I am. My heart is racing and my mind is hazy. I turn and see that I wasn't followed. I stop under a large tree. It's branches stretch out, spread across the heavens. The sky is now painted red. Red, the color of Natsu's flames. There is blue closer to the horizon, like Grey's icy creations. And the clouds look grey, just like Erza's armor. I sigh, and bring my knees to my chest. My head falls to my knees and I begin to cry. My stomach growls and I stand wiping the tears from my eyes. I couldn't recognise (That's the right spelling for me, I'm Australian) where I was. I must still be in the outskirts of Magnolia. I keep walking, I can't go back to the guild. Not now, not ever, not with things the way they were. And to tell the truth I wasn't brave enough to go and make amends. I am a coward. The sky dims, the sun disappears, and the moon comes to shine in her place. It's a full moon tonight, but the sky is overcast with clouds, just like my heart, so there's almost light for me to see where I am going. Almost. I have no idea how I did it, but somehow I ended up at the bottom of the lake. I pick myself up and start grumbling.
"Stupid water. Stupid cliff-thing. Stupid Ashton." I stop. "But most of all…" I yell, 'Stupid Lucy! Lucy you are so dumb! Why were you so careless! Dumb Lucy! Stupid. Stupid. STUPID!"
I start running and crying again. The rain comes down in small spurts at first but then it starts pouring down all at once. I run harder and do something only Natsu would be dumb enough to do. Yes, I ran straight into a tree. NO JUDGING PEOPLE! I HAD A BAD DAY OKAY! I land on my butt and frown, I don't know why but I started to scream. Maybe it was all to much, the betrayal, the hurt, the running, the hunger, the pain, the cold and my horrid, horrid life. I wipe away my tears and a flash of pink catches my eye. I look at the mark on my hand. I chose this, I think, I chose to become a part of Fairy Tail. I will become strong. I will do whatever it takes. I will do this!
I get up, this time, not running but walking. I don't particularly care where I end up, I just want to be somewhere. I think of Mavis, all alone on Tenroujima, I think of Gildarts, wandering alone, I think about Cana and the way she held herself, knowing he was her father, knowing that, she pressed on, she kept living. I think about Mira and Elfman, how heartbroken they would have been when Lisanna 'Died', I think of Laxus, exiled from Fairy Tail, but still came to help us in our hour of need. I think of Erza's pain when she left her friends behind, when Grandpa Rob died for her, when Simon died for her. When she faced Jellal all those years later and having the courage to fight her old friend. I think of Grey's agony when Deliora crushed his village, leaving his lone soul behind, when Ur died to protect him and Lyon. I remember Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy, their parents vanishing, leaving nothing but their sore hearts behind. I think of Wendy, remembering how she cried when Catshelter disappeared without a trace. The way Erza embraced her, because she knew how it felt. I stand up straight and tall. Yes, I think, yes, this is what Fairy Tail is. This is what we are. We cannot change our past, but we can make friends, and give ourselves a better future. I am a Fairy Tail wizard!
I keep walking in the rain, the cold cuts through my skin like knives, but I focus on my new goal and I make it though okay. I know I can't return to Fairy Tail, not the way I am now. But if I become stronger, if I become a better wizard, a better person, surely, surely I can face them in the future.
