Hey everyone I'm thinking it's going to be a lalu its a Lucy leaves clichè honestly I hate seeing so little in the lalu area of fanfiction like I ship Nalu but I like reading about the other ships out there alot anyways I don't own Fairy Tail if I did Natsu and Lucy would probably already have 33 babies. Quick summary: its been six months since anyone in fairy tail has even paid attention to lucy after being told she should leave she does but she will find something and maybe even someone better. Anywho enjoy and go easy first time fanfictioner here.

It's been almost six months since Lissana came back from the 'dead.' Six months the guild has been partying, and six months since anyone in the guild has spoken to me. Im standing at the request board trying to find a good solo mission. I have been doing alot of those lately, after all with my team not talking to me I had to make money somehow. I am honestly really happy I took all those solo missions, I've become a lot stronger. I can summon four spirits at once without being tired, Use a spirit merge which allows me to take on some of their powers, and cast Urano Metria by myself. I even got better at my hand to hand combat and learned how to use a sword. I reached out to grab a request off the board only to have it snatched away. Annoyed I look at the person who took the request. " Hey! I was going to take that request!" I say angrily. Normally I wouldn't have reacted this way but you can only be invisible so long before you snap. Natsu stood there looking at the request not even caring that I was there. "Hey guys I got a good request!" He took the request and went towards Lissana, Gray and Erza. It frustrated me but I just looked back to the board and grabbed another request. This one looked a little more difficult than the one I was originally planning to take but nothing I can't handle. I took the request with me to the bar and grabbed the sign out book. I could never get Mirajane's attention so I used to go to master and have him sign my requests until about three months ago when he authorized me to accept my own requests. Honestly I'm happy he did. He's usually really busy so I don't like bothering him to much. Once I had signed the request book I left the guild and headed home to pack for the mission. It was a job taking out a group of bandits in Clover and would take at least a week. "It says each of the bandits seem to be highly skilled wizards. Why isn't this an s class quest then?" I quickly dismissed the idea this is nothing I can't handle. With that I went home packed for the mission and left.

Time skip ~ two weeks:

I walked through the town of Magnolia to my small apartment. "Man that mission was harder then I thought." I sighed walking into my apartment and slumping down on my bed. The mission that should have only taken a week took me a week and a half to finish but another half a week to be well enough to walk. The leader of the bandits was a lot stronger than I thought he would be. Although his followers weren't exactly a cake walk, fighting the leader was the true challenge I still won in the end though. "Honestly its times like those I wish I had someone to rely on for help." Getting up off my bed I stripped and walked into my bathroom disposing of my old clothes in the laundry basket. While I was walking past the mirror I stopped and turned around looking over my shoulder and at my back. There were still some bruises from the battle that though was not what caught my attention. Running from just below my left shoulder blade down to my right hip was a large scar. I had gained plenty of scars these last six months but this one was definitely the biggest. I touched it lightly still feeling some minor pain. Taking my hand away I got in my shower and turned on the water. Feeling my muscles relax under the hot water I sighed a breath of relief. This was the best feeling in the world. A nice hot shower after a long mission always makes me feel better. Once I was done I got dressed. I wore a pair of black skinny jeans and a dark red T-shirt. I put on my belt strapping my whip and keys to it and then put my sword in its sheath on my back. I really liked using swords something I never thought I would. Pulling on my black combat boots I left for the guild hall I needed to let master know I was back and then maybe pick another mission.

I walk into the guild hall and straight to the masters office dodging the occasional flying chair, or person. Really the guild never changes. Once I'd reached masters office I found that he was out of the guild on business and wouldn't be back for a few days. Discovering this I went straight down to the request board searching through them trying to find one I'd like to take. All the requests lately seemed to be for small dark guilds and strong groups of bandits it was rare to find a monster quest. "I wonder why all the dark guilds seem to be getting more active, even those bandits I took out were working for one." I mused. I don't know why but I was getting worried something big was going to happen and soon I just hoped I'd be ready. I was awoken from my thoughts by an intense burning in my left side. I was thrown away from the board with so much force I hit the wall opposite of the board, slamming into the wall and then crumpling to the floor. A few tears escaped my eyes as I looked up at who had inflicted the damage. Standing there fist still a blaze was Natsu. His signature grin made its way to his face as he yelled over to me. "Finally came back huh? I just wanted to tell you, your off the team." He stated bluntly. My eyes widened slightly. "W-What?" I asked quietly. Sure I'd already known I was no part of the team anymore but hearing those words didn't help. "You heard flame brain, We don't need you." Gray approached me slowly. "Ice Make, Lance!" He yelled, I didn't have any time to react and took the hit head on. "Honestly Lucy you're just to weak to be on our team. Your a constant bother to all of us." Erza requipped a sword throwing it at me. Luckily this time I dodged but the sword still cut my right side fairly deep I was sure it would leave a scar. Natsu came up to me giving me a strong punch to the stomach. I coughed up some blood and collapsed to the floor. "We have Lissane she's way better than you could ever hope to be. No one needs you, it would be better if you just left the guild." That was it, I couldn't take anymore. Quickly I jumped up and ran out of the guild.

Finally at home I collapsed on my bed I couldn't stop crying. Soon enough Virgo and Loke force opened their gates. Virgo immediately began tending to my wounds while Loke comforted me. Even though he was so calm I could tell he was seriously pissed at how the guild had treated me. Soon enough exhaustion over took me and I fell into a deep sleep.

Loke P.O.V

I look down at Lucy sleeping soundly. She still has tear stains on her face. "Damn it Virgo, how could they do this to her?" I asked. God I hated seeing her like this. She deserved so much better. Virgo stayed silent which was unusual. When I looked to her she had a look of worry on her face. She seemed too absorbed with treating Lucy's wounds to hear me. Once she finished she quickly left for the spirit world. "Don't worry princess, I'll make sure you find happiness." Saying these words I kiss her forehead and leave for the celestial world.

The next morning: Lucy P.O.V

Sunlight hitting my face wakes me up. I sit up in my bed groaning in pain forgetting where it had come from for a moment. And then it all comes back. "I trusted them." I whisper to no one. Remembering Natsu's words fills me with even more pain. "Why did you even bring me to the guild? Did you hate me all that time?" Sadness overcame me as these thoughts ran through my head. Finally calming myself I stand up. All I know is now I can't possibly go back to the guild at least not while everyone is there. "Master Makarov is set to return tomorrow morning, I'll go see him while the guild is still empty." I say to myself. Although it hurts I know I need to leave the guild but still even if they all hate me it hurts so much to know I have to leave them. A few tears drip down my face. All the happy memories with everyone, they were my family, my nakama. I can't help but feel betrayed by their actions. The fact that the rest of the guild merely stood by and watched made it perfectly clear I am not welcome in that there. Wiping away my tears I go to work. I end up spending my day packing everything up sending most of it to the celestial world with Virgo keeping only a bag full of clothes, my keys, whip and sword, along with an outfit for the next day. Writing a letter to my landlady telling her she can sell the apartment I put the money for this month's rent inside the envelope and putting it on my desk. Looking out the window I realized it was already dark out, quickly crawling into bed I fell into a dreamless sleep.

The next morning I wake up early, taking a shower I get dressed, putting on my sword keys and whip I pull on my black combat boots and leave my cute cozy apartment for the last time. A melancholy feeling overcomes me as I know this will likely be the last time I walk down this route to the guild. "Be careful Lucy!"

"Don't want you to fall in!" The fishermen yell at me. I smile lightly. "Don't worry I'm fine!" I yell back waving at them. But the truth is I'm not fine. Not even close. I thought I had found myself a home and a family that would never hurt me. But I guess I was wrong. Soon the guild is in front of me, its only 6:30 so I know there won't be anyone here. "I just hope the master is back already." I say to myself quietly. Pushing open the guilds large doors I see the guild hall in front of me empty for the first time. As I walk past all the tables I can't help but have memories of all those good times return to me. A sad smile crawls up my face as an image of how Fairy Tail used to be floods my vision. "If only." I whisper silently tears threatening to fall. I'm broken from my dream by the sound of a door opening on the second floor. "I guess master is back." I say walking over to the stairs and making my way to masters office. The door is still open slightly so I knock gently while opening it. "Excuse me, master?" I say walking in. "Ah yes my child. Please come in." He says gesturing to a seat across from him. I walk in closing the door behind me and sit down in the seat across from him. "So how did the mission go? I was worried when you weren't back before I had to leave." He says looking at me concerned. He really is like a loving grandfather, just more perverted. "The job went well. The bandits were a little tougher than I had expected but nothing I couldn't handle."

"Are those injuries from your mission?" He asks gesturing to the bandages visible under my tank top. "Oh well you see that's what I needed to talk to you about." I tell him about how I was late coming back due to some more serious injuries and then tell him everything that happened when I came into the guild. Once I've finished my story master stays silent, anger fills his eyes. "Those brats hurt one of their own. Don't worry Lucy I will handle this." He says jumping onto his desk. "Actually master I don't want to cause anymore trouble so I think that I should leave." Masters face goes from anger to immediate sadness. He looks at me in the eyes almost silently pleading with me to stay but smiles. "My child if that is what you wish. I will send you off then the right way." I smile holding back the overflowing tears that threaten to spill. "There are three rules any mage leaving Fairy Tail must abide by. One, You must never reveal sensitive information about Fairy Tail for as long as you live. Two, You must never use former contacts met through the guild for your own personal gain." Tears have started falling down my cheeks by now as my guild mark begins to glow. "And three, Although our paths may have diverged you must continue to live out your life with all your might, you must never consider your life to be insignificant, and you must never forget about your friends for as long as you live." His voice wavers as tears cascade down his face. With those final words spoken my Fairy Tail mark disappears off my hand. Sadness washes over me as I remember the day I'd received the mark and just how happy I was. I look up at master and hug him tightly until we hear the guild doors open downstairs signaling members were arriving. Master leads me to the door knowing I'll have to leave. "I know you won't want to deal with any of them but please remember you are always welcome back here Lucy. Don't let those fools keep you away. Somethings wrong with them, I'll knock some sense into those thick skulls of theirs." I laugh lightly. "Don't worry Master I intend to come back even if I don't rejoin the guild at least to visit you." I take hold of the door handle before going back and hugging master again. "I have always seen you as my father figure. Thank you for finally giving me a family." Master hugs me back. "Lucy you will always be my daughter. I will miss you." I pull away and see both of us are still crying. Finally I stand up and walk to the door opening it I turn around again holding my hand up in the signature Fairy Tail sign and master mimics me. I smile one last time and walk out of his office. Quickly I rush down the stairs and out of the guild not wanting anyone to see me. I immediately go to the train station and go to the ticket booth. "One ticket to Elysian please. Elysian is another word for celestial) once I get my ticket I board the train and find my room on the train. It has a bed and a very small bathroom inside. Pretty nice for a train though. I set up in the car and lay down on the bed. " Elysian, its a three day train ride, but its said to be the best place to train celestial magic." I was so excited to see this city I knew I could start a life there. I had already rented an apartment and had enough money to last me a while but I would need some work. Sleep soon invaded me and I fell asleep dreaming of my new life.
