Hiro Mashima owns Fairy Tail and it's characters
Chapter 1
– The beginning of the end -
The sky was already dark, stars filled the horizon, the moon has rose, replacing the glowing sun. The moon shone its silver light onto the road, making shadows all around magnolia.
Lucy walked towards her apartment, her body was tired as hell, she limply walked up the stairs and into her room, and it was dark and a bit dusty. Her apartment was in the same condition since she last seen it, a couple of weeks ago, she had left to do a solo mission by herself. She had been doing these missions more and more recently since Lisanna returned "from the dead" as what everyone else says , of course Lucy liked the girl, she was kind to her and often talked to her when she returned from these missions, to her, Lisanna was like a sister she never had.
Slowly and tiredly, Lucy walked to her bathroom; she washed herself and changed into a pair of pink pj's. she then flung herself onto the bed, and in minutes drifted into a deep sleep.
She was in the guild; everything was fine, until a certain dragon slayer walked to her and slapped her on the face, glaring at her all the while. Lucy touched her now bruised cheek and looked at natsu with confusion in her eyes.
'Natsu?'She managed to say in a small voice.
He glared at her with hatred filled eyes and yelled, 'get out of here you wimp! You don't deserve to be here! You're weak and pathetic! Get lost!'
As soon as he said those words, all the guild members started to beat her up, saying cruel words and insults.
'Why? , what have I done wrong?' she said in a croaked voice.
Lucy woke up, panting, tears trickled down her face. She had been dreaming these nightmares since a while ago. These terrors always woke her up in the middle of the night, gradually becoming more and more realistic.
'It's that nightmare again… what's happening to me? No way would the guild ever do that to me... What's wrong with me?' she thought as she clutched her head.
After a while, she calmed herself and looked out the window, it was already dawn and the people were starting to do their chores. She willed herself out of the bed and prepared herself to go to the guild. After showering, she put on a white tank top with a blue cross at the side, blue skirt and black boots. She placed her keys and whip at their usual place and started towards the guild. Even though it's early in the morning, the guild was having a party as usual; they've been doing this since Lisanna returned.
Lucy pushed open the doors and motioned to the bar. "Hey Mira, how're you doing? " Lucy greeted Mira.
"Oh! Hey Lucy! I'm fine what would you order? "She said softly
"The usual… gosh they haven't stopped have they ..?"Lucy asked as she turned her head towards the guild hall.
"Yep! They haven't stopped yet... "Mira said as she placed Lucy's order on the bar table.
Lucy ate her breakfast slowly, but stopped at a pat on her shoulder. She was surprised to see Natsu there… he hasn't said a word to her for a while…. Actually nobody did either... The only ones who talked to her were only Levy, Gajeel, Juvia, Lisanna, Wendy, Mira, and Master... The others just iognored her.. As if she's a ghost
"Hey Luce… I've got an idea … why don't Lisanna join team Natsu just like the old times?" He said cheerfully with his toothy grin plastered on his face.
"Sure, why not? I liked having Lisanna's company "Lucy said smiling, returning his smile.
"Great! But … Lucy, Lisanna gonna take your place ok ? you could do missions by yourself to get stronger too, and you didn't have to depend on us .."natsu said, a bit unsure, not wanting to get misunderstood.
What natsu said hurts more than when her mother died, more than when she was still at her home, it was more like... Double all the hurts that she'd experienced. Lucy fought the tears that were coming to her eyes, and willed herself to smile her brightest smile.
"Sure, you're right natsu ... Have fun ..."She smiled
"Thanks Luce ... You're the best! "natsu beamed, and left to join the others .
As she turned herself back towards her meal, Lucy's smile faltered, all there was left was eyes that's filled with hurt and confusion. Juvia, Gajeel and Levy was nearby and saw what happened.. Lisanna was staring at Lucy with apologetic eyes and with her dragon hearing, Wendy heard everything.. The five of them looked at Lucy with sadness in their eyes.
'So… he didn't even want me on his team …huh.. , so was I just a replacement for lisanna? At least this was better than in the nightmares' Lucy pondered.
Lucy stared at her now cold meal... And seemed to have lost her appetite. She turned to Mira, who was now looking at her with sad eyes; Mira had seen the whole thing and was shocked that natsu would do that. She approached Lucy and hugged Lucy from across the bar table, lending a shoulder for her to cry on.
"Oh lucy, I'm sorry … cry as much as you want to ..." she comforted Lucy
After a while.. lucy's cries finally subsided. "Thank you Mira … I'm fine now … do you know where master is?"
"Yes I think he's in the office."
"Thanks "
"Lucy ... I know that you've been patient and considerate all these time, so..be strong ok ?"
"Okay Mira ..." Lucy smiled as she let go of Mira.
Mira and a few others, who had watched the incident, can only stared at Lucy as she walked towards the master's office.
