Lucy P.O.V.
It has been two months since Lisanna came back from the 'dead', and ever since then the guild wasn't the same. It was noisy as usual, but it wasn't the same old bar fights. The fights weren't as violent and the Salamander wasn't the one to start them, he simply couldn't though. Lisanna wouldn't leave his side for one second, always having her arms wrapped around his arm. It didn't bother me at first, but now it is starting to get on my nerve. Whenever I try to talk to him, she would drag him away to do something, so he is always too busy. But little did I know that worse was to come.
I was sitting in my usual spot at the bar enjoying my strawberry milkshake when all of a sudden a shadow cast over me. I turned my head around to only meet onyx eyes. Natsu had a very serious face, which means that he has something important to say. After a few intense minutes of staring, he finally spoke up:
"Lucy, you are very weak and since Lisanna is once again with us, you will no longer need on the team. You have been replaced," and with that he casually walked away like it was nothing. Tears threaten to fall, my heart ached very badly. I got up from my stool and ran through the doors from the Guild. I wanted to be far away from it as possible. His words rang through my mind, haunting me every second. The salty water wouldn't stop rolling down my cheeks and my lungs ached as I kept running to my apartment. As soon as I made it to my door, I opened, slammed it shut and walked to my bed, collapsing. As soon as my face hit the pillows, I slipped away into the dreamless, dark world.
Sun rays slipped through the curtains and onto face. I really didn't feel like waking up, not now, not after what happened last night. Opening my swollen, red eyes slowly, I regret crying so much last night. My pillow was wet and I felt more tired than ever! I also realized that I had fallen asleep in my last nights clothes.
"Ugh, how can my life get any worse?" I groaned. And as a answer to my question, a loud crash was heard from my living room. I rushed out of my room to only find a rock with a note on it that read: How can you call yourself a fairy tail mage? You are a useless and weak mage, a disgrace to the guild!
Tears started to fall once again, collapsing to my knees I started to sob. Who would do such a thing? Is it true, though? Am I really just a burden to the guild, a disgrace to everyone?
And that was when I made a decision. I'm going to leave the guild.
I started to pack my clothing and other important belongings. I have already paid the land lady for this month, so I can leave without having to worry about pay. As soon as I finished putting the stuff I need in my suitcase (including 200 000 jewels that I saved for emergencies) and food and drinks in an extra back-pack, I put them near the door so I can come back to grab my stuff and go. Leaving the apartment, I headed to the guild slowly, though I have to admit, I was a bit scared if Natsu was there. Sooner than what I wanted, I found myself standing in front of the big wooden doors of Fairy Tail. Opening it slowly, I walked into the noisy room. I then walked over to Mira who was cleaning a few cups and talking to Levy.
"Hey Mira, do you know where the Master may be?" I asked as soon as I reached her. They both stopped talking and turned their attention to me.
"He is in his office. You better hurry though, because he is leaving to a meeting in Clover Town soon," Mira kindly replied. I said my thanks and head upstairs towards his office. Knocking on the door, I heard a muffled 'come in'. I opened the door and smiled sadly at Makarov who was sitting on his chair looking through papers.
"What brings you here, my child Lucy?" He questioned with a hint of sadness in his voice, probably already knowing why I have come here.
"I came here to remove the stamp. I'm leaving Fairy Tail," I chocked out as tears started to form in my eyes.
Sighing, he replied "I understand. It is really hard to let a child go, but I know you have your reasons. I will miss you, but do promise you will visit once in a while." Tears started to fall down his cheeks and sniffles and sobs filled the room. I pulled my master into warm good-bye hug.
"You were like a father to me. Thank you so much," I cried out. Pulling away to give some space, I handed him my right hand to remove the stamp. He gently putted his hand over the stamp, then a blue light glowed, but quickly faded. He removed his hand from where the Fairy Tail symbol once was. Silently, I left the room, and before I went down stairs, I whipped the last few drops of tears. I headed over to where Levy was sitting at the bar while avoiding the chairs and other objects being thrown in the guild.
"Lu-chan, what's wrong?" Levy asked with a worried voice as I walked up to her.
"I-I'm leaving the guild. I'm also leaving Magnolia although I am not sure where I will go, but I promise I will visit and send you l-letters. I also p-pro-promise to send you the book when I am done, I'll make sure you will be the first one to read." I stuttered, feeling water once again building up at the corner of my eyes. I watched tears roll down Levy's shocked face, she then pulled me into a tight hug.
"I will miss you dearly! Please come visit soon, I know you must have good reasons to leave Fairy Guild. But do remember that I will always count you as a family and will be here when you need me. And I better be the first one to read your novel, haha," she said as she sniffled.
Backing away from the hug, I smiled, "Of course, and you are like a sister to me as well. I will miss you as well, and everyone else at the guild, I will always cherish the good times I had here." I clutched my left hand where my heart was, I then turned around to the doors, I looked over my shoulders as I walked outside "Good-bye Levy".
"See you soon, Lucy" Whispered the blue haired mage with a smile as she watched her best friend walk away.
