I am not really a LoLu fan. I leaned more towards GreyLu, but when I thought of this I just had to write it! I feel like we don't get enough of Loke anymore. Well here we go and I hope you like it.
Lucy stood at the front door of the Fairy Tail guild. They probably already know about what happened.
Lucy was sent out on a very important job alone. She was supposed to protect a family of forest mages travel through dark guild territory. But she messed up. The family died along with the last traces of forest magic.
Why, why can't I just go inside? Collecting herself she turned the handle to the door. She stepped inside the building. The lovely chatter that normally went on in the guild died down as they saw Lucy walk in. Everyone was staring at her, not a single smiling face was visible throughout her crowd.
Lucy couldn't move. What I do, there all staring at me.
"Hi everyone," she forced out a smile, "I'm back."
The faces turned away and went back to what they we doing before she entered. But the chatter was not as happy as it was before.
"Lu-chan!" Levy was running toward Lucy. She jumped into Lucy's arms, "glad your back home safe."
"Thanks levy," she could feel the tears forming in her eyes. At least someone still appreciates me.
"How are you doing Lu-chan, are you ok?"
"I'll be fine Levy, thanks for worrying about me."
"Lucy." It was Ezra, she sounded mean and gruff like always but something was different in her voice this time. "Master wants to speak with you."
Figures Ezra hates me now too. To think were on the same team. Lucy released levy and started walking over to the room were master Makarov was. Lucy had to admit, she was terrified. Will they ever trust me again?
Before she entered the room, she looked back over the faces she called guild mates. Natsu was staring her down like a hungry crow. Lucy looked away from him. Not you to Natsu. She peeked back over at him and he turned all is attention the Lisanna.
-Sigh- here goes. "Yes master," she said as she walked into the room. He was sitting on his desk facing the window.
"Lucy, I was surprised when I heard the news about your mission, is it true?"
"Yes, it is Lucy." looked down. Please don't tell me.
"Lucy, I think its best that you don't come back to Fairy Tail."
"What!" Lucy was startled, please don't tell me.
"Forest magic is very sacred, they keep the balance between control and chaos. You think I'm going to let you off easy." He didn't move, "I'm sorry Lucy, but I think you should go."
Lucy looked down at her hand, her pink insignia started to fade away into her hand. No, please don't. Give me another chance. She could fight the sobs but not the tears.
"T-thank you master for taking care of me," every word twisted pain in her heart. "Good b-bye." The last words came out like a whisper. I don't want it to end like this, not yet.
She backed out of the room. Embarrassed and ashamed, she ran out of the guild, trying hard not to show her face to the other guild members. She knew they were staring. With the slamming of a opening door, Lucy was gone.
Lucy keep running forward, her legs and chest ached, telling her to stop and breathe, but she kept on running.
She was far away from the guild, near the outskirts of Mangolia. She stopped when she reached the Sakura fields. She feel to her knees and wrapped her arms around the nearest tree, causing the shedding of pink petals down onto her face and shoulders.
"IM SORRY!" the sobs finally came out, she couldn't control them anymore. Every gasp for air bruised her lungs as her mind raced with many painful thoughts. "WHY DID IT HAVE TO END LIKE THIS?"
"Lucy!" she didn't turn around. Who would call out my name, I don't deserve to talk to this person.
"Go away!"
"Lucy, come on," the person grabbed her shoulders and started gently shaking her back and forth.
"Let me go, please don't-!" she turned and swatted at the person, swinging and kicking frantically.
"Lucy, open your eyes. It's me." her eyes opened as commanded.
Through the mist of her tears, she could make out an orange haired figure. He held a hand to his cheek where he was stuck by her punch.
"Loke," There were those sobs again, she reached out to Loke and hugged him, squeezing him tightly as if he was going to disappear any moment. He returned the embrace.
"It's ok now, you can let them out."
"Loke, I lost everything. All I ever cared about, what am I going to do now?" She buried her face into his chest; the warmth of his shirt calmed her down.
"Lucy," he pushed her up so they were face to face. "I want you to come live in the celestial world with me."She rubbed her eyes with her hand. She tuned into what he had to say. "You'll be safe there; every one there still trusts you with all their hearts just like I do. We can always come back here whenever you'd like."
Lucy was overjoyed. "Yes, of course!" She wrapped her arms around his waist again, the tears finally stopped running. "I want you to stay with me."
"I wouldn't have it any other way, "He hugged her and a bright light flashed from the sky. Lucy could feel them being lifted up off of the ground, the world was spinning, faster and faster each second. It suddenly got too bright to for her eyes.
When Lucy opened them, she was in the celestial world, surrounded by new opportunities and a second chance.
How will Fairy Tail cope without their only celestial wizard? Was what happened on her mission true or false? How long will she stay in the celestial world? Find out in the next chapter.
