I woke up to the sound of nothing. Absolute silence. How did I get here you ask? Well I will tell you. My name is Lucy Heartfilia, and I am a celestial mage at Fairytail. Fairytail is a guild where mages like me work together as a family to go on jobs to help the community. It was always my dream to go, and I love my magic, but I know that I am not the strongest mage out there… In fact, I am probably the weakest mage in Fairytail. I will get stronger though. Everyone in the guild always told me that it as okay, and that my strength was something they wish they could have. I do not know what strength they are talking about. I always rely on my teammates for help on missions and I know what you are saying "Don't you know what a team means you moron!?" and yes, I know that is the point of a team, but I want to help my teammates as well. I feel as though it is a one-sided team. I get protection, but they are the ones protecting me… Anyway, I am rambling. Where was I? Oh yeah, how I left Fairytail…
Flashback
I walk into the guild to see Natsu and Gray fighting "As usual" I thought to myself. We had just finished a mission which resulted in me needing protecting from my team. Natsu told me he was okay with protecting me if that meant I was safe…*/*… Okay, so maybe I have a tiny crush on the fire breathing idiot. How? He is so kind to his friends and would do anything for them. He is caring, and generous at times, and boy when his vest comes loose and- "Hey Luce, wanna go on another mission?" Natsu came up behind me and put his hands on my shoulder.
"N-no thanks Natsu. Don't scare me like that!" "Haha sorry Luce!" and then he did it. The thing that made me go insane inside. His smile that could melt hearts. How can someone smile like that everyday and still make my stomach do flips? I NEVER get used to it! No, no, no Lucy, this is not the time, you must train to become stronger. "Hey, I got to go talk to master about something." I said trying to come up with an excuse, because if you know Natsu, you know he is nosy with everything.
"Why do you want to talk to Master?" I knew it… Luckily, I was prepared. "I have to talk to him about the damages YOU caused the city while on the mission!" I said loudly to wake the beast. The red headed woman came right on cue, and I left without a word. While walking up the stairs I heard "So you like to destroy people's homes that they work so hard to pay off, don't you?!" and then there was a thud and when I turned, I saw a chibi Erza standing on the defeated Natsu with a bruise on his face. I laughed. I sure will miss you guys…
I knocked on the master's door and I heard a muffled "Come in" so I did. I walked in and sat in a vacant seat next to his desk. "What is it you need Lucy dear?" He said not looking away from his paper work… This is going to be hard…
"Master I wish to leave Fairytail for a while to train to protect my nakama!" His head lifted to see sad eyes. "How long will you be gone?" he asked, and I didn't know the answer myself, but I came up with one anyways.
"About 2-3 years to ensure I have trained enough to protect my family." I said proudly. I want to protect my family, so I can be useful. I act like I don't hear what people say behind my back. They call me the weakest one in Fairytail. I know it's true…
"If you insist. If you promise to come back soon, I will not take your insignia off. I love you Lucy, and please be safe." He said crying. I soon realized I was crying too. I will master. I will miss you all much more than you will ever know.
I walked down the stairs and tried to casually walk out the door, but the one person who I did not want to see happened to be waiting for me. "Hey Luce, wanna go on that job now? It is a cool one! It won't be boring I promise, Natsu's honor!" he said saluting with the funniest face ever. My temptations were getting the best of me, but I took control again. "Nah I got to go…uh" I looked around trying to find a way out. "It's uh… Time for me to wash Plue! Yeah that's it!" I said running out the door. "Huh…weirdo" Natsu said and went to go insult Gray.
I ran home and called out Virgo and asked her to get everything to the spirit realm. Hey, I am not Erza! I don't carry everything on a six-foot wagon! When Virgo was done she said the same thing she always does. "All done. Punishment time princess?" I got so fed up that I punched her in the face and she vanished and her key broke and- (Just kidding)
I told her NO PUNISHMENT and then closed her gate. I walked to the land lady and paid my rent and she told me she would save the house for me. Luckily, I went on a solo mission only Mira knows about (Because she must check the missions…you know) and I earned 150,000 jewels for being a maid for an old lady…ugh. Gives me the shivers just thinking about it. I went to the train station and bought a ticket to the estate. After father died, the estate got handed over to me. (I know, not how the plot goes, she must buy it, but I liked this better and I hope you do too! If not oh well)
When I arrived, I got settled in and looked around the house for a bit, and then talked to mama at the grave. I put some flowers down and then decided to leave. As I was walking away I saw a glow come from the gravestone. I stood staring for a while and then I got curious…so I touched it. I know Never touch a glowing gravestone, but I couldn't help it! When I touched it, I immediately was sucked into the grave and darkness consumed me
