Lucy's P.O.V
It has been 4 months since Lisanna came back. Its also been 4 months since the guild stop talking to me. Well I shouldn't say the WHOLE guild because there's still Gajeel, the exceeds and strangely Laxus and master. I was sitting at the bar sulking with my hands hanging down by my side. Then all of a sudden I heard someone say "Hey Luce".
When I looked up I was surprised to see Natsu, Erza, Gray, and Wendy running towards me with Lisanna.
" Hey Natsu. What's up" I replied as Natsu and the others were now standing in front of me.
"We need to talk Lucy" Natsu said with a now serious face. Me and the other members of the team are were thinking about letting Lisanna join the team."
"Oh so now we'll have six members on the team. I said
I turned towards Lisanna with a bright smile on her face and said
" I hope we can get to know each other and become great friends."
"About that. We really only need five members on the team so we were hoping Lisanna could take your spot" Gray said while looking good at anything other than Lucy's face.
" I see. I guess you don't need me anymore" I said
I looked at them to see other them all nodding their heads in agreement.
Even though I was pretty hurt by the fact that they had replaced me with Lisanna and agreeing with the fact that they didn't need me anymore, I calmly got up from the bar, did my best Lucy smile, despite how I was feeling and left out the guild.
The Next Day
I woke up and forced myself out of bed. I went to the bathroom and took a bath with my favorite strawberry and vanilla shampoo. When I got out the tub I brushed my teeth, ate breakfast, got dressed(sorry I'm to lazy to describe her outfit) and headed for the guild.
It seemed like I arrived at the guild early, seeing as only Mira, Kinana, and Lakin were there. Deciding that since I was no longer part of a team I went up stairs to the library.
(Time skip)
Feeling quite parched, I sat the book called Celestial Spirit Wizards and their Spirits down on the table and Iooked at the clock on the library wall. I noticed that I had been in the library for nearly 3 hours. Getting up from the table and going towards the door that would lead me back down to the guild, I suddenly noticed that the guild hall seemed to be noisier than when I first arrived.
Opening the door and standing on the top of the staircase gave me the luxury of seeing how the guild hall had filled up. But out of all the tables only one caught my attention. This particular table sat the members of my old team and my " replacement ." Just when I was about to go back into the library so I could check out the book "Celestial Spirit Wizards and their Spirits" I heard Natsu.
" Did you know Lucy was so weak we always had to save her from trouble that she couldn't handle on her on.
" It was quite tiring" Erza said with a disapproving look on her face.
" Don't forget she always hid behind those spirits of hers while they fought for her" Gray said
" I don't think she was THAT bad" Wendy said sheepishly
" Oh come on Wendy, besides her being able to summon spirits she pretty much can't do anything else. And I mean what can she really do once she loses her keys right." Nastu said
"Well that did make her pretty useless in battle" Wendy said
"Well it doesn't even matter. She was only a replacement for me" Lisanna said
I couldn't hear what Erza said but they all started laughing. I lowered my head, making my hair cover my eyes. I didn't know how or why they started talking about me , but I know I'm going to prove them wrong. I'll show them, I thought. I turned around and went back into the library.
The words "weak, useless, and replacement" echoed through my head. At that moment all I could feel was hatred.
Normal P.O.V.
While Lucy was walking through the library feeling hatred, unbeknownst to her a pair of pink eyes watched her walk down a bookcase filled aisle. Finally coming to a conclusion the pair of pink eyes transformed into a shadow snake and slithered up a bookcase a few inches away from Lucy.
Once the pink eyed, shadow snake made it to the top of the bookcase it pushed an object off the shelf and quickly vanished in a puff of black smoke.
Lucy quickly turned around to see that a golden pot with a golden lid, sprout, and handle on it had fallen on the ground. Curious about it, she took the golden pot and the book "Celestial Spirit Wizards and their Spirits" downstairs so she could let Mira know she was taking them home.
When Lucy finally managed to find Mira she saw her talking to the members of her old team. Walking up to the table and Mira she cleared her throat to get Mira's attention. No one even spared a glace her way. Lucy then tried calling Mira's name. Mira simply responded by shooing Lucy away with her hand.
As Lucy was walking away she heard Natsu, Erza, Gray, Wendy, Lisanna, and Mira chuckling.
Lucy even heard one of them say " She's quite pathetic isn't she."
Since Mira was ignoring her, like usual, and Lucy, not wanting to just take the book and lamp without letting anybody know, she walked over to Cana only to be ignored again. Lucy tried to tell Levy that she was borrowing the book and lamp only to be ignored once again.
After being ignored three times, like she was invisible, she spotted Gajeel.
" Could you tell Mira I'm going to be borrowing these two items for a while?I tried to tell her but she just ignored me just like everybody else." Lucy asked Gajeel while showing him the book and the golden lamp.
" Sure thing Bunny-girl" Gajeel said
Now that she had let somebody know she was borrowing the two items she was on her way out the guild and to her apartment.
Right when Lucy was about to exit out of the guild doors she was suddenly pushed onto the floor. When she looked up she saw Nastu and the rest of the team smirking at her while they walked out of the guild. Erza had even spat at her.
When they all finished walking out the guild hall Happy and Carla quickly helped Lucy up and apologized before flying off after Natsu and the team.
Lucy dusted herself and the lamp off and walked towards her apartment. All the while she clenched the book and the golden lamp to her chest. Her heart filled with hatred and rage.
" I wish I could show them that I'm not someone they can just replace. That I am not someone's replacement that they can just throw out the next minute. That I'm not weak.
And without the blonde girl, clutching the golden lamp with such rage and hurt, knowing a pair of pink eyes was suddenly seen through the golden lamp. In an instant the pink pair of eyes once again transformed into a shadow snake and slithered down the road into an alley.
(Time skip)
The pink eyed, shadow snake had waited in the ally, close to the guild, for 5 hours straight. It was now night time. Upon hearing 5 noisy people the shadow snake turned the alley corner to see Natsu, Erza, Gray, Wendy, Lisanna, Happy, and Carla. After waiting for the group to burst apart the shadow snake quickly and quietly followed behind Lisanna. When Lisanna and the snake were all alone and out of hearing distance , the snake morphed into a blonde hair, pink eyed, woman with 10 golden and 5 silver keys on a ring. This now pink eyed woman had a malicious smile on her face.
The Next Day( Lucy's P.O.V)
I had woken up, got dressed, and started to head towards the guild. Once I had arrived in front of the guild's door I took a deep breath and I opened the door slowly. I walked in and saw everyone was looking at me for the first time in 4 months, BUT everyone was looking at me with hatred in their eyes( except for Laxus, master who was in his office, Gajeel, and the exceeds.) Then a certain pink haired boy smacked me hard across my face. I was not only shocked but hurt as well . I held the right side of my face and could tell later on it was going to be swollen.
"How dare you hurt Lisanna just because we kicked you out of the team" Natsu yelled at me.
"What are you talking about Natsu, I would never hurt a nakama " I said as tears were threating to fall out of my eyes.
"Don't play innocent" a raging Mira hit me in the gut causing me to fly into a wall. "You may still bear the Fairy Tail guild mark but you are no longer family nor friend" Mira said
Just then everyone started to throw their magic at me.
Just before I blacked out I saw the wounded Lisanna on the floor bloody, bruised, and crying. Then I saw Laxus and Gajeel get up and start yelling at both Mira and Natsu but I couldn't hear what they were saying, then I blacked out.
When I woke up everyone was unconscious on the floor. I then remembered what happened to me and tears fell down my face. I ran to masters office and barged in.
Master's P.O.V
I was doing paperwork when a flustered Lucy barged into my office. I saw how she was bloody, her eyes were red, and one side of her check was staring to swell up.
"What's wrong my dear child" I asked her worriedly
She told me everything that happened to her and couldn't help but feel angry for what my children had done. How could I have not noticed I thought to my self. Then she said something that took my breath away.
I had tears running down my face as she left out of the office.
Lucy's P.O.V
When I told master what happened he looked quite upset but I had to follow through with my plan. I had told him that if a was not going to be treated like "family nor friend" than I did not belong here at all. I told him that I also wanted to leave the guild to train to become strong because I was "weak" and "useless". He then asked if I was going to every return , but I just answered with a "maybe". I then placed my hand in front of him and he placed his hand on top of mine. There was a bright light and my guild mark was gone. I hugged mast- former master goodbye and left out of his office. No I didn't just leave his office, I was going to leave everything. My OLD SO CALLED FAMILY AND FRIENDS, my home. I was going to leave my old weak self behind and become the new strong Lucy no one would every dare to call "weak or just a useless replacement"
