everything is fine. it's all going to be okay. Just keep smiling. Lucy told herself this everyday, over and over again. an endless thought like butterflies nawing away at her thoughts. it was a gloomy day today. perfect for the one year aniversery of tartaros, the one yeat aniversery of losing Aquarius, of losing fairy tail, of losing natsu. the blonde maiden made her way to work, not bothering to walk along the edge like she used to so long ago. she looked to her right to try and see a glimps of her guild once again, but to no preveil. the building was torn down long ago. Lucy heald her hand to her heart, squeezing her guild mark ever so slightly. she knew that she had to get over it. it was for the best. but the more she pushed it away the more she desired to see her familie once again. Lucy unwilingly forced herself to move past the rubble of the building she once called home and continue her way to work. she walked past many people, all of which seemed to be happy and care-free. this made Lucy angry. how dare they all have happy, normal lives when hers was tairing at the seems. the blonde glaired at the ground at the thought. suddenly she had the urge to look up. she didn't know why, but she just did. When lucy did look up she saw and old man, obviosly not from magnolia. Lucy was just about to brush off her fealing when the old man tripped and was stumbiling towards the river. on instinct Lucy raced towards the man and made a last second save, pulling him back from the edge.
"are you okay sir?" Lucy asked worringly. the old man simply smiled and shook his head.
"I am quite finw thanks to you young lady, thank you miss-" he paused waiting for Lucy to give her name.
"-Lucy. It's no problem sir. be safe on your walk" Lucy said with a forced smile. the old man nodded and walked away.
unknowing to Lucy. the man had a knowing smile on his face as he faced the other way.
Lucy finaly made it to work after her little run in with the unfamiliar man. she dumped out ber bag onto to table in hopes to find her papers but instead she found a strange looking box. Lucy loomed over it with a quizzical look on hee face.
"I don't remember puting that in" she mumbled to herself.
The box was black with neon yellow desines on it that almost looked like they glowed. Lucy opined the box to find a bracelet. it was compleatly black accept for a yellow firefly charm. she looked around the room. she was here early so it was compleatly empty. once she qas compleatly sure that no one else was with her she tried on the bracelet. the second she put it on, Lucy started to feal drowsie. hee vision blurred as she tried to reach for her comunication lacrema. her arms gave out and her vision finaly went black.
