A smile that might never return
Chapter one: Nobody feels the sorrow
Fairy tail
"I have to confess to him!" Lucy said while standing up from her usual seat at the bar, she walked towards to the guild doors. The doors opened and revealed natsu.
"I have something to tell you lucy!", "Me too!". Lucy thought that he was going to confess to her too. "You go first.", "Guess what! I'm dating lissana now!".
Lucy's smile was wiped of her face once she heard that, "I have to go home, I-I uh... Left my keys at home." Lucy said while walking out of the guild door. Natsu looked at her belt, her keys were there. She's lying.
A week later
"Lucy, you need to rest. This is your tenth job in a week!", "I need it for the rent!", "You're lying. From all the jobs you did, it adds to to over 70,000, there's more than enough to pay your rent.", "Well… I want to pay the rent a few more months ahead and relax.", "Fine. But you're in bed once you come back!".
Lucy walked out of the guild. "Something is wrong with that girl…" Mirajane said while leaning on the bar, cana put down her barell and wiped her mouth. "I think you're right, the S-Class trails are over already. So, what's driving her to work?".
"Hi mira nee!" Lissana leaned over the bar hugging her sister. "How's things going with natsu?", "Our first mission, or you can call it date went great!", "You hold hands with him?", "Yeah! It went great! Just like you said!".
Gray was sitting at a table with erza, "Since natsu has a girlfriend and lucy is on a job marathon. It's only us, I need to pay my rent. Coming?", "Sure." Erza stood up and walked to request board. She looked it it for a few seconds and ripped a A class request off the board. Gray snatched the piece of paper and read it, "Fine." Erza and gray walked out.
A alley at hargeon
"Just quit the job! You need to rest!", "Shut up loki! I can fight!". Lucy was completely out of magic and was badly injured, she stood up and fell. It was loki that came to save her. "Can't fight girlie?" One of the gangters said, "Why are you pushing yourself so hard?", "Aw… You're making me cry. Guns magic! Homing shoot!" Loki pushed lucy out of the way and dodged the magic bullet. Lucy was slammed the wall by loki and lost conciousness.
Fairy hills
"Will she be alright?", "Don't worry levy! She'll be up and about like a bull is in a bullfight!" Bisca said. Lucy rubbed her head and slowly sat up. "Where am I?", "Fairy hills, loki sama brought you here." Juvia said. "Need to do another job." Lucy said while standing up, she was leaning against the wall for support. Erza made a sword appear in her hands and blocked the door with it, "You need rest.", "Let me go home.", "Even if you bust out of here, mirajane is temporarily banning you from jobs.". Lucy sat down and crossed her arms. "What's wrong with you? You've been doing jobs non stop!" Levy shouted, "Juvia agrees.", "It's none of your business.", "Lucy, you can tell us, we're your nakama.", "You would just laugh at me.", "We won't.", "Just let me go.". Erza lifted her sword and let her pass. "I don't trust that girl." Erza thought to herself, "Requip! Flight armour!", "Where are you going erza?", "Lucy's, I need to find out what's going on." Erza opened the window and jumped out of it, she jumped on the roofs of buildings and jumped to another ones.
Lucy's apartment
Erza was on the roof of lucy's apartment, Erza requipped a hooked sword and hung it on the edge of the roof. She slided down it.
"This is it." Erza used her foot to open the window, "Good, she's taking a bath.". Erza jumped in and landed silently, she walked to her writing table, on the table was a open book. She walked over to the book and picked it up, she turned it over and saw the cover. "This is her diary." Erza thought to herself, erza was flipping through the pages, and one caught her attention, it had the mark of fairy tail drawn on it. "Dear diary, today I joined the guild of my dreams! Fairy tail… This is the day lucy joined." Erza said to herself. She kept on flipping the pages and reading them.
Erza stoped when she heard the sound of water being drained. "Crap! She's done!" Erza closed the book and held on it and jumped out of the window holding on the the hooked sword and did a backwards somersault and landed on the roof. She jumped back to fairy hills.
Fairy hills
Erza jumped in one of the open windows of her 5 rooms, she landed on her bed. Erza's armour started to disappear and returned to her normal armour, erza opened the diary again and flipped back to the page she was on. Erza read for a few minutes and realized why she was doing this, gasped when she realized why lucy was putting herself thorough that torture, she's trying to distract herself.
"Sh… It came from erza's room." Bisca said while holding two magical tommy guns in her hands, "Juvia is ready." Juvia turned into water and slid in through the bottom of the door, juvia turned back to her original form and faced the door and whispered no over and over again, erza was too busy reading to see juvia.
"HYAH!" Bisca kicked the door open and the door squished juvia, and bisca shot at erza. "E-Erza?" Bisca said in a surprised and scared tone. There was a outline of erza made out of bullets on the wall, "Please get off juvia…", bisca was standing on the door the juvia was underneath. "Sorry." Bisca said while getting off the door, "I'm sorry erza…".
"YOU NEARLY DESTROYED MY CLUES!" Erza screamed while waving the book in bisca's face, "Clues?", "The clues to why lucy is acting so weird.", "Tell us!", "Fine, but don't tell anyone else, especially mirajane.", "Ok.". Erza leaned down and whipered in bisca's and juvia's ears. "NATSU?" The two surprised girls shouted. "Well, it's in the diary.". "But isn't natsu san with lissana?", "She is, that's why lucy is pushing herself.". Levy was leaning on the wall of the room and listening to their whole conversation.
Lucy's apartment
"Where did I put it?", lucy was looking around for her diary. Lucy sat down on her bed and sighed, she looked through the window. She saw natsu and lissana, she didn't expect to see the childhood couple outside her window. She closed the curtains and ran out of her apartment.
Era
"Still the lucy I fell in love with 400 years ago…" In front of the voice was a lacrima viewing lucy running, "She is the missing piece of the puzzle to the ultimate magical world, how will we get that piece? Master zeref?", "When the time comes, she will fall into the dark again.", "She can't do that if she is surrounded by those mages of the light.", "True, true. That means I'll have to mix it up a bit." Zeref said while standing up.
Fairy tail
Lucy was sitting alone at a table with plue dancing on it, she was far away from the happy couple. "Pun!" Plue was walking towards the table where happy, natsu and lissana. "Oh no you don't." Lucy said while manhandling plue and putting him back on the table.
Mirajane was at the bar wiping glasses and eying lucy with worried eyes, she turned her head and saw gray doing the same. "Why don't you go talk to her?", "Huh? Me?", mirajane put down the glasses and pushed him towards her at rocket speed. "Just go already!". Gray was flying towards lucy, he hit the wall and left a shape of him on a wall, normally lucy would scream if anything nearly hit her. "You know you have to pay for that.", gray climbed back into the guild through the hole he made. "Why aren't you doing jobs with that idiot?", before she could answer a iron pole nearly hit her face. She turned to the owner of the iron pole, she rolled her eyes. "Gajeel.", the small fight was starting to become a guild rumble. Lucy left when gray stopped asking her questions to get sucked in the fight.
Somewhere in magnolia
Lucy was walking randomly through the city, trying to get natsu and lissana off her mind. And when she saw a bright light coming from the mouth of the alley, lucy followed it in the alley and found the source of the light. "The key of pisces? That's one of the zodiac!", lucy knelt down to grab it. "Hello lucy.", "Who's there!" Lucy said while holding on the golden key, "It's me, zeref, don't tell me you forgot.", "Do I know you?". The figure came out of the shadows and showed his face, "I can feel it.", "Feel what?", "Your hatred.", "He rejected you, he ignored you, what are you going to do? Stand around and look at them have the time of their little dirty lives.".
"S-Shut up!" Zeref disappeared in a puff of black smoke, it smelt like death. He appeared next to lucy and whispered in her ear."It was all her fault, she stole the man you loved." Lucy's eyes widened, her pupils started to turn black. "All her fault.", "Good, it's working." Zeref thought to himself, he hugged her. "I missed you, 400 years of being alone.", "I'm back now." Lucy said while returning the hug.
Fairy tail
"I have to go somewhere .", "Where? My little queen of the underworld.", "Follow me.". Lucy grabbed zeref's and pulled him to fairy tail, "Why did you bring me here?".
"I have a score to settle." Lucy said while walking in. "Hey lucy!", "Shut up mira.", "What?", "How dare you say that to my sister! As a man I must teach you manners!" Elfman roared while leaping towards lucy, she showed no sign of fear. She laughed at him and he was thrown through the walls of the guild.
"Try and defy me weaklings!" Lucy laughed. "What are you doing? We're your nakama!" Lucy ignored mirajane and walked towards lissana and natsu, "Yo lucy!" Natsu said, "Out of my way salamander." Suddenly he was thrown out of the guild like elfman was. "Hey!" Lissana shouted while standing up from her seat. "You miss him? You can join him in the underworld!" A stream of black magic was lunged at lissana, "DIE!" Lucy laughed, lissana was frozen in fear. "That's enough, lucy.". Lucy looked behind the smoke and saw that it was Makarov that stopped the stream. "Eh? Playing hero?", "Enough is enough.". "What is this magical power?" Makarov thought.
" You need some help?", "Ah, zeref.", "Zeref? Impossible!", "Well, he's standing right over here.", "Can we just finish this? I'm getting bored.", "Fine, go ahead.", "DEATH WAVE!", "3 POLES OF HEAVEN! DEFENCE!".
(Don't tell me it's wrong, I made tht up.)
Three glowing poles covered the whole guild, natsu, who was covered in debris suddenly ran in. "NATSU!" Lissana knew that he would die if the wave hit him, she transformed into a bird and flew to natsu and pushed him down to the floor. Then a wave of black shadows hit the poles and lissana, once the smoke cleared up everyone was safe and alive.
Except lissana, she died defending natsu. Natsu got up and shook her, "Wake up, wake up! I-It's not funny!" Natsu started to cry, lucy and zeref were laughing. Natsu put lissana down and stood up, he looked at lucy. His whole body started to light up with flames, he ran to lucy at an incredible speed. He was about to attack, but at the same speed zeref stood in front of her and blocked the attack. "Did you really think that would hurt?". Mirajane was staring at her dead sister in disbelief, "She's not dead, I know she's not!" Mirajane said to herself. Tremendous magical power started to surround her, and a magic circle appeared beneath her. "SATAN SOUL!" She sprouted some wings and flew towards lucy. "We can't waste our time on these weaklings, time to go.", "Can't I make them suffer a bit more?", "No, lucy. Time to go.". The two disappeared in a puff of black smoke and mirajane missed her punch.
Mirajane turned back to her original self and hugged lissana, "Wake up!" Mirajane was about to break down, natsu was as mad as hell and the whole guild has the same question in their minds, "Why would lucy do this?"
Note: I'm postponing my other stories cuz I have no ideas. And i'm really, really sorry about the sentence spacing problem, tht's one of my bad habbits. (Besides spelling things wrong and swearing.)
