Chapter 1

Lucy

3 months. It has been 3 months. What did I do to deserve this? I miss hanging out with them. I looked over where Natsu, Happy, Gray, Erza, and Lisanna were sitting. Happy sees me looking and waves at me. I can't help but smile. At least Happy noticed me. I waved back and smiled at him.I walked forward and sat in my favorite spot at the bar. I am probably going to have to find a job for some rent money. I get up and walk to the request board and find a nice job.Help WantedBandits attacking our village. please help 100,000 jewels.This is great I thought. I can't help but look over at my former team. I say former but it isn't official. they have yet to kick me out. it already feels like I was kicked out but they haven't told me yet.I walk up to the bar and try to wave down Mira to tell her about it."Hi Mira! Is it ok if I take this job?" I asked kindly."Oh Lucy! Yeah just let me put it in the book. How have you been I haven't seen you around lately?" She looked at me questioningly."Mira I have been here every day." I said sadly. She looked taken aback and then sorry."I'm sorry Lucy! I'm so sorry!" She starts crying attracting attention to us. My old team and Lisanna looked over confused."It is OK Mira! How about we catch up now? No need to cry! I forgive you!" I say shaking my hands back and forth trying to calm her down."A-a-are you sure?" she said calming down, "I feel bad. How about I make us some food and we sit down a talk?" She looked at me with a small smile"Sounds great! I love your cooking!" I said enthusiastically. She smiled and noticed everyone looking at us."Everything is fine minna!" Just as quickly as they heard her say that they looked away.She quickly went into the back room to make our lunches so we could talk when suddenly I see a hand on my shoulder. I turn my head to see Natsu. I almost smiled but held it back. I just knew that he wasn't here to tell me good news."Hi Luce! almost didnt notice you here." He said with his goofy smile."Hi Natsu. Can I help you with anything?" I said looking him in the eyes.He looked a bit shocked but smiled right away."Yeah! um... I was maybe... the rest of the team and I... um." he struggled to say.My eyes widened. So it is today... "Natsu you don't need to struggle to say it. I-I- understand. I have seen this coming for a few months now," I said and he looked up at me suprised, "I will leave your team and let Lisa na take my place, I have been doing solo missions for months now so you guys could catch up with Lisanna. I can take it. I hope you guys have fun." I said. He looked shocked but then snapped out of it. The rest if the team walked up behind him. Lisa na looked at me sadly, "Are you sure this is OK Lucy?" she asked softly."I am sure. I want you guys to be happy." I said.Part of me felt broken at this point. But I will stay strong.Natsu looked at me and smiled. Happy flug himself into my arms. "I will miss going on missions with you!" He cried. I pet his ears and gave him one last hug before letting go."I will see you around you guys!" I said."Lucy our lunch is ready!" Mira yelled from behind me."Coming Mira!" I said smiling. "Goodbye Team Natsu, I will miss you," I said looking at them. Gray looked at me shocked, Erza gave me a smile, Natsu looked at me shocked again, and Happy And Lisanna had tears in their eyes.I turned my back and ran up to Mira."Let's have our lunch!"3 hours later"See you Mira! " I said whilewhile leaving the guild. As I got outside I heard an explosion and ran towards it. When I got to the source of it I saw people around me on the groundI sprund into action."Open Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!"Virgo appeared in a flash of light."Yes princess?" She said looking at me."Get these people to the hospital fast!" I yelled."As you wish." She said. and got to work.I looked around but found no one in sight."Where did they go?" I though to myself.About half an hour Later Virgo and I finished up. I thanked Virgo and sent her back.I should go report this to masmaster I said taking off to the guild again!Just as I got there I ran inside and immediately got stopped. Everyone looked at me with cold eyes."Why are you here?""This is all her fault."I could hear people talking around me.What's happened. I wondered. Nastu got up and looked at me. His glare intensified as he got closer."Mira is in the infirmary passed out. they say her food was poisined." I looked shocked."What how??? I was just in town!" I yelled"Don't lie to me! You were the last one with her!" He yelled."I didn't do anything! I swear!""Quit lying!" he screamed.I reached out to touch his shoulder but he grabbed my hand."N-n-natsu! what are you doing!" I yelled. his grip was really hurting."Natsu make her pay for what she did!" yelled Lisanna who had tears streaming down her face."We agree!" "She must be punished!" Yelled Gray and Erza.I liked around shocked and scared. I tried pulling my arm out of his grasp but he held on tight. I looked up into his eyes. Natsu why are you doing this. I love you. Please believe me. I thought. He glared even harder at me. The next thing I knew he lit his hand on fire burning my arm. I screamed at the top of my lungs in pain as the fire went up my arm. Soon it got my clothes and they started burning too and Ina split second my whole body lit up. Natsu let go in shock. My scream stopped Because my throat hurt."Someone put her out!" I heard people scream. Soon water was splashed on me"What did you guys do!" We heard someone scream. I looked up in pain to see Mira and Wendy run out of the infirmary Master following close behind. I took this as my cue. I brushed my hand over Like,s key calling for him in my mind. Begging for help. In a flash he appeared and grabbed me running."LUCY!!!" "Come back!" was all I heard before I saw black.MiraI woke up to hear screaming downstairs. All I could remember was drinking my Water and then passinf out."Mira you are awake!" I looked over to see Wendy and Master."What happened?" I asked."You were poisoned. Everyone thinks it was Lucy." Wendy said with a down cast face"it couldn't have been I got my water way after Lucy left." I said looking shocked.The Scream I heard before turned into a blood curdiling scream. We ran out just in time to see a ball of fire on the floor being covered in water. Soon all I saw was burnt blonde hair. LUCY. "What did you guys do!" I screamed.Everyone looked up shocked. I kept my eyes on Lucy and I say her lift her burnt hand up and brush her keys with tears in her eyes. my eyes widened and I opened my mouth the yell for her hut it was too latr. Like appeared looking determined and grabbed Lucy and ran."Lucy!" I yelled"Come back!" Wendy yelled with tears in her eyes.We ran but when we got to the door and looked out she was gone."What did you guys do?!" Yelled master"She poisoned Mira! No one hurts a member of Fair Tail and gets away with it!" Lisanna and Natsu yelled looking confusedU walked forward with tears in my eyes."Lucy didn't poision me. I got my water way after she left. She couldn't have been here." Everyone froze looking horrified."So what we just did. Oh my god. Lucy!" Everyone said.Natsu ran out of the door.NatsuOh my God! What have I Done! Tears started to stream down my face. I need to find her. I'm so sorry. I ran and ran but couldn't find her.I dropped to my knees.Luce I'm so sorry.I didn't know how long it would be before I saw her again.
