Lucy's POV

So, this is what betrayal feels like, shouting, and cursing aimed in my direction, and there's nothing I can do about it, I'll just have to let get out there anger, right? Then we'll be okay again? Oh how wrong I was...

' Lucy Heartfillia, you have, albeit indirectly caused harm on your fellow guild members for the second time, you've destroyed the guild yet again and caused the town's people to panic, therefore I hereby excommunicate you from Fairy Tail, you may never return' the master spoke strongly, there was one protest but I didn't have the mind to search for my defender.

'I understand, I'm sorry I've caused so much pain' I whispered to the man in front of me, he reached for my hand, the hand that held my most precious guildmark mark, and with one swipe of his hand...it was gone, my adventure was ending here, just like that, I thought this was my family, ha, I guess I was wrong wasn't I? I looked around at my 'family' one last time, I would never see them again, I felt my eyes prickling with tears, but I refused to let them fall.

'Goodby...'

'SLAP'

I held my face as I looked at the person who assaulted me, what did I do to deserve that? 'Just get out of our guild, we don't want your goodbyes' the voice taunted, the man who had slapped me had pink hair, and standing bye his side was none other then Erza Scarlet, Lisanna Strauss and Gray Fullbuster, who were all laughing at me, they are laughing at the fact that I'm in pain, this isn't the Fairy Tail I'd come to love.

I looked around once more only to see young Wendy and her exceed Carla crying in the corner of the guild, I'm actually glad they aren't helping me, I don't want to cause them trouble to, I looked around once more, happy faces were everywhere, I think I even heard people cheering once the doors shut behind me.

I didn't even bother going home, I had all my money with me, and mothers letter, pfft what were they now, it's not like she's watching out for me anyways, it was obvious, and that good for nothing father of mine ruined my life yet again with his nonsense, he just had to send a dark guild after me...But the more I think about it, I'm not mad at Fairy Tail for what they did to me, no, I deserved it right? For causing them so much pain, I always end up in trouble. I'll get stronger, that's what I'll do, and I'll travel, so my dad won't ever find me again. First though I want to make a pit stop...

It may go against everything I believe in, but I'm going to spice things up in my life, and who better to teach me light magic.. I walked to the train station... next stop Era...

Six Months Later.

Jellal's POV

'Hey, can I get some food' I asked the guards that were standing outside of my cell, it's been two days since they last Fed me, honestly what kind of barbarians were these people. ' No, shut up' one of them said as the turned to look at me, disgust written all over their face, I was about to make a comment when a loud crash was heard not to far off from where I was.

'Sleep Wave' a feminine voice shouted, the guards by my cell suddenly dropped to the ground in what I can assume to be exhaustion, I scoffed at the idea of someone actually trying to pull off a breakout, but then my cell door swung open, I couldn't see the figures face for she was wearing a cloak. 'Who are you, and what do you want' I asked the person in front of me, she threw me my own cloak, ' No time to explain, are you coming or staying' she asked looking over her shoulder time and time again.

I was completely baffled, someone was helping me out of prison, but why, for what reason, I haven't barely begun to atone for my sins, but yet someone was here, risking everything, just for me? 'Why by are you doing this' I asked her as I swung the cloak around myself and lifted the good up.

'I need a trainer, and I think you'll fit the bill, plus I think you've already atoned for your sins, your not a bad person, I've heard your story, it seems to me that you were in the wrong place at the wrong time, so come with me' she said as she held out her hand, I took it, still baffled and in awe of her explanation, I could train her, that was the least I could do for her after this...

We ran for what seemed like hours, until finally we made it to a forest, she whistled for something and I watched as a ladder was thrown down from a tree, she grabbed it and told me to climb up, that's when I noticed the massive tree house that was hanging above us, it had different rooms in all of the trees and sky bridges connecting them all together, I hesitantly took hold of the ladder, tested it first and began to climb.

' The ladder won't hurt you she teased', my spirits made everything here, I helped of course but they did most of the work' she chirped as she followed me up, 'I see' was all I said, we continued climbing in silence and eventually made it to the deck of the tree house, she was up shortly after, she hopped by me and opened one of the doors which led to a large wood, living room, it had lacrimas everywhere, viewing, contact, some of the viewing ones were even connected to the magic councils main offices, and where they took their meetings, and some were set up around the wooded area, she was prepared for everything, this place was very high tech.

'Who are you' I asked hesitantly, she slowly lowered her hood and I stumbled back in surprise, 'you have heard of me before, but I'll refresh your memory, I'm Lucy... Lucy Hearfillia' she smiled as she said it.

'Why are you here and not with Fairy Tail' I asked her, surprise and curiosity evident in my voice, I noticed she looked down and gave off a sad aura before giving me an answer.

'I got excommunicated from Fairy Tail six months ago, they kicked me out for something I had no control over' she said sadly, that's unbelievable, how could they do that to one of their family members, and I heard they really loved this girl. 'Anyways, it's okay now, I'm fine, I have all of this' she said as she pointed around the room at her things.

'Why do you have all of these rooms and all of this stuff' I asked curiously, it was quite the setup, 'how did you even get lacrimas in the meeting rooms at the council' I asked as a second thought. ' The second question you have is a secret, but the reason why I have all of this is I like to keep and eye on things, that's how I got you out today, getting you out of there took six months' she said sheepishly as she removed the cloak from her shoulders, her blonde hair was loose and stopped at her mid-back, her outfit consisted of black dress with red sneakers, I could also see that a tattoo was curling down her arm, what it was though I don't know, she was quite beautiful...

'Your first question, about the rooms, I just like to have them, sometimes I let travelers stay for a while, and lately I've been thinking about making a guild, but I want to train my light magic before I do all that, and the person I thought of...was you' she grinned as she sat down on her couch, I followed and sat opposite her.

'So I will train you, considering I owe you, but what kind of magic do you have already' I asked as I leaned back a bit, she leaned closer.

'Well I have sleeper magic, it allows me to put people to sleep, for a certain amount of time, depending on what spell I use, celestial magic,I have ten of the twelve zodiac keys, by the way you'll see them a lot, they pop up at random, and thirdly I have a type of crash magic, but it's no where near strong enough for me, I can barely break a boulder' she laughed again, her laugh was contagious so I laughed with her.

'Thats impressive though, you have a lot of talent' I tell her, and honestly I am impressed, she wasn't this strong when she was in Fairy Tail, was that guild holding her back? Hmm I wonder. Suddenly there's a grunt and a crash from outside and Lucy pops up, suddenly and goes flying out the door, I follow close behind and we listen carefully.

'Goddammit, where the hell am I' a gruff voice says, I feel Lucy stiffen beside me, a large blonde man comes into sight, rubbing his head and looking around. 'Laxus Dreyar' Lucy growls under her breath, suddenly and without hesitation she jumps down to the ground, landing on her feet despite the fact that we were so far up, I continue to stay where I was before and look on at the interaction in front of me.

Laxus looks surprised at there suddenly being a person in front of him, he looks up into the trees and his eyes widen even more, 'what the hell, you looks familiar by the way. Weren't you in Fairy Tail' the blonde man asks raising an eyebrow at Lucy.

' Was. What are you doing in this forest' she growls again, 'what do you mean by 'was' and don't go giving me attitude, gosh what was your name, Lucy...that's it, your that Hearfillia chick' he says as if he's discovered the greatest mystery in the world. 'I got excommunicated, got it? I answered your question, leave' she snarled again, I come out of my hiding place and calmly use the ladder to get down and walk over to where they are, 'how the hell did you get excommunicated? And who's this dude' Laxus asks, quite rudely.

'Oh, that's Jellal, I literally just got back from busting him out of prison' she says, her whole attitude changed, from hostile to happy in two seconds flat, it takes both Laxus and I by surprise, is this girl bipolar? I wonder to myself.

'Major attitude change there blondie' Laxus smirks, way to voice my opinion I silently cheer, 'yeah, yeah, whatever, coming up or not, it's not safe to be on the ground at night' Lucy says as she climbs back up the ladder, giving everyone below her a good view.

'Pictures last longer you know' she says as she pulls herself over the side, my cheeks heat up and I'm sure the other blondes do to. But none the less we all enter the monitoring area. I hear Laxus whistle as he checks everything out and I can't help but feel a little proud that Lucy did all of this.

'So Blondie, how'd you get excommunicated and why are you spying on council' Laxus asked as he took a seat at one of the desks. 'I indirectly did something to the guild and they forced me out, even going so far as to hit me, so I didn't have a chance to defend myself, and I needed to spy in order to get this guy out of prison' she says pointing to me, I blush a little at the sudden attention, 'which I'm thankful for, and I'll train you to the best of my abilities' I assure her, she smiles and winks at me.

'Okay, but how did you get him out' Laxus asks, unconvinced, 'do you want me to show you' Lucy asks slyly, I hear an unsure grunt come from the side of me, but it's already to later to stop it 'sleep wave' she says as she casts her spell towards Laxus, and just like that, he's out cold, I couldn't help but laugh at the fact that him and the fools at the magic council were taken out by that little spell, this is going to be fun, I think to myself as I watch Lucy smile at me again.
