A/N : This happens after the GMG arc; after Ultear left Crime Sorciere, that is. And Zeref has been defeated, Tartaros is gone, Avatar never happened.

Jellal seems a bit OOC, and I apologize, but this was done on purpose. On to the very short one shot then.

Dear Ultear,

It has been a year since you left. Most everything is back to normal now; if this can be called normal. Tartaros was dealt with, Zeref too. Gray has managed to move on with Juvia's help; so has everyone else. Well, not everyone. She hasn't.

I have a question for you, back at Crocus, didn't you think about who you left behind? I can't say that what you did was wrong, many people would've died, if not for you. But couldn't you have stayed with us? Even if it was only for a year? Crime Sorciere is no longer the same; even from the start it was only the three of us. But, now, we're almost useless. You must be happy now, right? You, Simon, Silver, Ul. All of you. But we aren't happy down here. Especially not her; no, definitely not. She loved you, you were her mother. She broke.

Broke.

She mopes around all day long, hardly eating, hardly sleeping. She's become lifeless - a doll. I hear her scream at night; nightmares every time she sleeps. I don't know what to do Ultear. No one does. I can't help her. I've tried all I can, and it's not working. If only you were here.

She's dying Ultear, dying. Didn't you think of her, when you left that letter with us? Didn't you remember her name -Meredy? Why did you leave us? Just a year, would've been enough. Just one single year.
