It was dark…
too dark.
Why was it so dark?
Were the lights off still?
Was it nighttime?
Am I asleep?
Am I dreaming?
Where is everyone?
Who is everyone?
Why can't I remember?
I'm alone.
Why am I alone?
Did I do something?
Did I not do anything?
Was there still something that needed to be done?
Why can't I remember?
Can I find them?
Whoever "they" are.
Can I still reach them?
Can they still reach me?
Why can't I remember?
Why can't I feel anything?
What is it to feel?
Why can't I remember?
Is that a feeling?
Am I dead?
Why is it so dark…
It's too dark.

(Magnolia, Fairy Tail)
Normal POV
Lisanna was alive. A fact that had been celebrated about the guild for the past few months. Reconnections were made as well as new ones were created. The happy-go-lucky feeling that came with the guilds name rose exponentially with the return of the small white haired mage. Partying nonstop still trying to grasp and acknowledge the fact that she was there, alive, safe, no one was willing to let that feeling go, let her go, again. Even at the cost of a life?
Levy's POV
I was reading, as usual, at the bar waiting for Mira to bring out the strawberry milkshake I had asked for. Strawberry milkshakes were Lu-chan's favorite, maybe I should share thi-, my thoughts can to an abrupt stop.
That's right I haven't seen Lu-chan in a while where could she be.
Finally surfacing from my thoughts I looked around the guild seeing the familiar faces of my guild members going about their usual routines: Natsu fighting with Gray, Erza eating strawberry cake, Nab was stilling staring at the request board, Cana taking out her third barrel today with a triumphant but lazy smirk crossing her face, but no blonde haired mage came into view.
My eyes wandered back to the request board, from my spot at the bar I could see a metal object protruding from the board glinting in the sunlight. Curious as my nature was I arose from my seat narrowly avoiding projectile objects directed at my head, practice makes perfect.
Reaching the board I gingerly leafed through the requests posted quickly finding my target. Lifting up one last piece of paper I noticed what the dagger was attached to or should I say what was attached to the dagger.
Something that looked similar to leather… no not leather… it had crusty edges that almost looked like blood… the design in the middle was awfully faded but from what I made out it looked like a Fairy Tail insignia. It was pink… pink… realization hit me like a brick.
"KYAAAAAH!" a shocked scream fell through my lips.
The guild suddenly became quiet. A certain iron dragon slayer was next to me in seconds.
"Shrimp what's wrong?" Gajeel asked in a worried voice.
I shakily pointed a finger towards the piece of skin attached to the dagger. "Lu… Lu-ch… Lu-chan… Lu-chan's mark…" covering my eyes as my knees began to shake, I gave in and dropped to the floor and let out a horrified shriek. Gajeel hoisted me up, getting me off the floor, still confused as to what I was hysterically crying about. As soon as I had calmed myself down I looked at the faces directing their attention towards me.
"WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME ANYONE SAW LUCY!" I bellowed.
Faces lit up in shock at the mention of the celestial mages name.
"I saw her… a few months ago… when Lisanna had returned from Edolas…" Maccao whispered slightly to himself, a horrified expression lit up his face. Gasps of realization spread throughout the room.
The most shocked ones were team Natsu.
I pulled the dagger out of the board quickly, careful not to rip the skin. Hoisting it in the air I yelled, "I found this on the request board! Can anyone guess what it is?!"
Natsu rose to his feet cautiously walking towards me. He took one whiff of the skin and broke into tears.
"LUCY!"
