New story time! I literally thought of this while I was in the shower, ha ha. This will be a love triangle, but I will be the one choosing the final pairing!
Summary: Getting closer to the G.M.G, Lucy suddenly quits Fairy Tail. Not to train, but because she is actually a undercover Sabertooth mage who joined Fairy Tail for information! What will happen then?
Lucy's POV
'One more week until the games . . . I'm sorry every body.' I think to myself while looking around the guild.
Natsu and Gray are arguing over a little thing, Erza is eating her cheesecake, Cana is gulping down another barrel of booze, Elfman is lecturing others, Mirajane is serving, etcetera. Today is like any normal day in Fairy Tail, for now at least.
Lucy lightly jumps off her stool and sighs, 'Now or never.'
"Hey Luce, you alright?" Natsu asks, interrupting Gray from his comeback.
I give him a nod and smile softly, "Yeah, continue on with your fighting." I say. Normally I would've bickered to Gray and Natsu to stop, but this day isn't normal for me. Maybe to others, but not me.
Natsu gives me a strange look but does as I said.
I stare at my family, nakamas, one more time before making my way up the stairs and to the Master's office. I know softly, and the door is quickly and swiftly opened.
"Ah, hello Lucy. What can I do for you?" Master asks, not taking his eyes off the papers. He usually would, but I guess the papers are that important. I bite my lower lip, "I want to quit." I tell him, my bangs covering my eyes who are threatening with tears.
God, I didn't know it would hurt this much. I shouldn't have gotten too attached to this guild. It isn't my home, Sabertooth is. That is where I grew up and learned most of my magic from. Not here, this is not my home. It is merely the target area for my mission.
I blink, making the tears from coming up. I look back up at Master, trying to put a small smile on my face.
"I know what you're going to say. And I'm afraid I can't tell you why." I remark way too fast.
"Are you endangered, child?!" Master retorts. I shake my head back and forth with hesitation, "No, of course not Master!" which isn't exactly the truth. I was sort of endangered, of getting to attached I mean. I can't secure myself into this guild anymore than I already am, it's going to hurt much more. Master doesn't say anything, but motions his hand for me to walk over to his desk. I scurry over there, "Are you sure about this, Lucy?" Master asks.
I nod quickly. The next thing I see happen is that the insignia on my hand is fading away. My heart feels like it's getting stab. Many time. It pains me to do so, but I must. I must return home. I got enough information about Fairy Tail, meaning I can now come back.
But before I give my last goodbye I tell him that he cannot tell anyone about me leaving. When he asks why, I reply with, "They will soon find out why. I am sorry Mas - Makarov, but I must take my leaving. Goodbye Ma - Makarov." I croak, and grasp my pale, plain hands. He nods, "I will miss you, child."
Now is the point where if I don't go now, or fast, I'll just fall apart.
I run out of the office, and down the steps. Tears are now starting to slip out.
'Damn it, Lucy! Don't show them anything!' I lecture to myself. It doesn't help though, it doesn't stop the tears from dripping. I run quicker to the big, wooden doors that I'll never see again. I push it with all my strength and leave before anyone can say anything.
"Lucy, what's wrong!", "Hey Luce?", "Where you goin', are you okay?!" faint shouts speak from the guild as I get further and further away.
Good thing I planned this well. I packed everything I needed already this morning, so no need to go back 'home'
I didn't need much, all I needed was a backpack full of clothes and money.
My legs ache, but my mind pushes them to go more. I run all the way to the train station. Once I get there, the ticket I bought is in my hand and I am sitting in on an empty seat.
It won't be empty for long though. Other strangers eventually board the train, and the train whistle is blown.
Jungeon [Suppose this is the town where Sabertooth is located] - Lucy's POV still
I was awaken by the slight shuffle of someone getting off their seat beside me. The train has reached the destination in which I was aiming for.
Jungeon. My hometown. Where my childhood started. Well, after my mother died and I ran away.
A yawn escapes my lips, and I stretch my arms before getting up. Completely tired, I forget what I am doing, until someone mentions the word "Sabertooth"
After that, I stand right up and rush out of the train. No one from my real guild knows I'm returning, I have been gone for a year and a half now so . . .
I skip up the rocky path to the large grand building where Sabertooth guild is at. I remove my 'Controller' bracelet, and all my true and full power unleashes. My great hearing, despite how much I hate having it sometimes, I hear a guild member in the building shout, "Did you feel that?!"
I smirk and place my hands on the metal doors and unleash another wave of power.
"Wait . . . only one person can have this much of magic!" a familiar voice shouts.
Finally, I push the door open and smirk, "Hey Minna-san! I'm back!" I yell and just about every body's eyes are on me. My eyes work and observe the faces. There are some I don't think I ever seen before and there are others who I remember far too well.
3 . . . 2 . . 1
"Lucy!" many people shout loudly, their voice makes my ear deaf almost. I laugh as people surround me.
However, Sabertooth isn't like Fairy Tail. They aren't lovable like Fairy Tail, but they're quite fond sometimes. Most of the time though, the place has a tension of killing.
People hug me until I can't breathe. "Okay, okay, everyone stop it!" I say getting quite claustrophobic. They all back away and some mutter apologizes.
The members I mostly notice are my closest friends. The Sabertooth team.
"How was the mission?" a sudden, strong voice says at the stairs. I look up, smirk, "Oi, old man! How you been, still looking old and grumpy I see!" I shout and wave. The people who probably don't know me gasp. I, and my team are the only one who dare to call him that. I say it the most, I am brave enough too make it a daily nickname for him.
My real me is coming back now. No more girly Lucy, no more.
The guild master, Jiemma glares at me, but I know his frown will turn into a smile soon. It soon does.
Back at Fairy Tail - Three days later - Normal POV
"Where's Lucy! We're suppose to train today!" Natsu shouts, angry that his best friend has suddenly gone missing.
"We only have four days until the games, we have to train more!" Natsu whines and sips on his drink.
'I believe it is time to tell them now . . ' the master thinks, then he clears his throat to get the others attention. "Gramps, do you know where Lucy is?" Gray asks, but only because he's worried [of Lucy] and annoyed of Natsu.
The master nods, "If you want me to tell you, you guys must promise me something, none of you guys can go get her." he says to everyone. They all put their pinky up as if they're making it physical one.
"Lucy has left the guild. She has no intention in returning." Master says smoothly, he's been practicing to say these words correctly without crying.
The whole Fairy Tail is in shock, then they all create an uproar of questions.
Master sighs and looks at Team Natsu. Natsu is shock, Gray looks as if someone is stabbing him, and Erza is quietly sulking. Happy is no where to be found though.
That's it for this chapter! Review if you want some more!
