No one deserves to live lonely and forgotten, no one.
It always happens though, every once and a while people decide that you are no longer fit to be with them any longer, so they forget every thing about you.
You feel rejected by society and eventually yourself.
You feel like you need to disappear, so you do

Chapter 1: Inside Her Heart
Lucy's P.O.V. The Week After Layla Died
"Lucy-sama, Master Jude would like to talk to you now." Rosaline told me.
"Hai, I will go right away." I replied while getting up from my chair.
~~Really short 10 Minute Time Skip~~
When I got to my father's study, I knocked on the door; waiting for about a minute he finally said come in. When I entered he was facing the window with his hands in fists at his sides.
"You wanter to see me father?" I question softly. He turns to look me in the eyes. In his eyes are unquestionable amounts of fury that was directed towards me.
"You little wrench! It's all your fault that Layla died!" He screamed at me. He then threw a large book at me, hitting me in the head.
I fell to the ground clutching my head as blood seeped through my fingers and coated my dress. Tears silently made their way down my checks, also pattering down on my dress. I stood up as Jude walked over to me with his knuckles turning white with the amount of pressure he was putting on them.
"You should fucking die you little wrench, but I'm not going to kill you. No, you're going to become my little slave, and you're going to like it, you little bitch!" With that said, he slapped me across the face making me fall back down to the ground. I slammed my already injured head against the tiled floors making me bleed even more.
"ROSALINE, COME GET THE LITTLE WRENCH!" He screamed while walking back to his desk, the blood on one of his hands showing very clearly against his skin. "Get her out of my sight, I hate her face." He told the maid when she went into the room. Rosaline picked me up and brought me to me room, calling for another maid to get some medicine and bandages for me.
When the maids finally left, I walked over to the desk that was a few feet away from my bed. I opened the bottom drawer which held my beautiful Celestial keys. I have 6 golden keys - Aquarius, Cancer, Capricorn, Gemini, Libra, and Virgo. For the Silver I have 10 keys - Andromeda, Crux, Hologram, Hydra, Leo Minor, Lyra, Phoenix, Pyxis, Serpens, and Vulpecula. I got almost all of them from my mother. The other ones I got from Virgo when she and my other spirits decided to get me a birthday presents.
"Open, Gate of the Virgin - Virgo!" I swung her key and called out Virgo's chant.
"Hello Him- What happened to you Hime?" She cut herself off when she saw my condition, her eyes widening.
"Virgo, Jude did this to me and now he is planning on making me his slave because he thinks that I am the reason why mama died. I called you out so I could ask you if you would help me run away. I need to get away from here... So will you help me out?" My voice shakes as I speak to her.
"Of course I will help you Hime. I will go get some money for you then help you pack your bags. I will be back in a few minutes." With that she disappeared in to a cloud of smoke.
I walked over to my dresser started to open my drawers. I looked for my cloths that I had gotten from my mother that were for outside time. I grabbed the pants, shorts, and shirts but left all the brightly colored clothing behind with the skirts.
After I had throw the desired clothing on the floor, I walked over to my closet that held all of my dresses and suit cases. I made a grab for my two black ones, but someone else's hand beat me two it. I turn around to see Virgo standing there.
"Hime, I have taken 500,000 Jewels for our trip."
"That's a lot Virgo, but thank you. Can you please help me pack up now." I asked as I walked back to the bed. She followed me and answered.
"Of course Hime. Would you like me to keep most of the money along with your luggage in the Spirit World?" She said as I folded the cloths that I had thrown near the bed.
"Yes please, that would be a huge help." I tell her. "Now lets get these cloths in the suit cases." With that, Virgo started packing up while I grabbed my other keys.
After about 10 minutes of packing and talking to Virgo we were finally done. I moved hand over Hologram's key and he told me that the time was 10:00. I turn to Virgo.
"Virgo can you please take my bags and the money to Spirit World? I'll call you later because I am starting to run out of magic. See you in a few hours or so." Virgo took the money and filled suit cases inn her hands then disappeared into a cloud of smoke.
I hurried to turn off the lights then climbed into bed and hid my keys in my pillow case. I closed my eyes and slowed down my breathing so that it look like I was sleeping. I heard the door open and which ever maid that was checking on me.
"Poor child. I wish that I could do something to help her out." It sounded like the maid was about to cry. It's good to know that my wonderful servants care about me.
The maid walked out of the room and softly closed the door. I opened my eyes and waited 5 minutes before retrieving my keys and hopped out of bed. I walked over to my window and looked outside. No one was around so I grabbed Phoenix's key and softly called out her chant.
"Open, Gate of the Fire Bird - Phoenix!" She appeared in a cloud of smoke and fire. She looked down at and smiled, until she saw the bandages around my head which she frowned at.
"Hello my dear. What can I do for you." Her voice was soft.
I explained what happened with my father and I told her my plan for running away. I looked up at her and spoke. "So will you help me? I would like to go to the guild, Fairy Tail. Mama told me about that place and all her adventures there before she met Jude."
"Of course I will help you. I do not wish for such a fate to fall upon you so I will help. I will take you as far as I can go before you run out of magic." With that she opened the window and I crawled onto her back. She spread her fiery wings and took flight. "Hold on. I am going to go around 200 mph so that I can at least get you to the town Magnolia where Fairy Tail lays."
The wind whipped at my hair an pulled at my night gown. After about 30 minutes of flying, Phoenix started to slow down. "Dear we are in Magnolia. I will drop you off n the middle of the town."
"Thank you Phoenix, this means so much to me." I told her while she landed she nodded and went back to the Spirit World in a cloud of swirling fire after I hopped off her back.
I fall to my knees and start breathing hard from the over magic use. I stay on the ground for a while before getting back up. I started to walk around, hoping to find somebody.
"Hey little girl, were are your parents?" I turn around to see a girl about 13 years old. She had beautiful scarlet colored hair and wore amour chest piece.
"One is in the ground - dead, the other one is still at my house and wants to use me as a slave. That's where they are." I told her with no emotion and an expressionless face. She stared at me shocked. I continued, "I am joining the guild Fairy Tail if I can. If I can't, I'll probably leave Fiore so that my father can't find me. That's said can you direct me to Fairy Tail?"
"Yeah, I'll take you there. I am Erza Scarlet, re-quip wizard of Fairy Tail. Come on." She walk past me then motioned me to follow her and I did, thinking that I had nothing more to lose.
After a fifteen minute walk we stopped in front of a huge building that looked to be about six or seven stories. Erza turned to look at me. "This is the Fairy Tail guild. Here we treat our members like family." She then grabbed my hand and pulled me inside.
"Erza good to see that you're back! How was the mission?" A little man about my height called from a bar that took up the 3/4's of wall next to the doors.
"It was very simple and easy Master. This girl right here would like to join Fairy Tail. I think that she would like to tell you her story in your office." She says while pointing to me. The little master nodded while looking at me. He then hopped down from the bar and started walking towards the stairs that were located in the back of the guild and motioned for me and Erza to follow him.
Once we got in side his office, he introduced himself. "Hello, I am Makarov Drayer, the 3rd Master of this guild. Now you are you child?" He smiles warmly and give him a small smile back. I take a deep breath and speak.
"I am Lucy Heartaphilla, daughter of Layla and Jude Heartaphilla." He gasps and looks shocked. I'm not surprised.
"You are Layla's child? How is she? How is your father? Why are here?" He keeps bombarding me with questions. A tick mark appears on my forehead and Erza can tell that I'm starting to get pissed off so she clears her throat.
"Thanks Erza. I'll answer some of your questions. Yes, Layla was my mother. I say was because she is dead, her funeral was last week on the 10th. Jude is awful, he blames me for her death so he said earlier today." I explain to them what Jude did to me earlier today.
I thought that I was going to see looks of pity, but they surprised me. Their expressions held pain, sorrow, but most of all - anger. I'm very confused, why do they care? This their first time meeting me. Strange... Makarov brought me from my thoughts.
"Lucy, would you like to join Fairy Tail? I also think that I will be able to change your name, so when your father comes looking for you - if he does - he won't be able to find you." I smiled hugely at him nodding at both ideas.
I would love to join Fairy Tail! I would like my new name to me Lucy Scarlet, Erza Scarlet's little sister." Erza turns to look at me, her face full of confusion and a little bit of happiness.
"Why would you want to be my little sister? I don't mind, I just want to know." I give her a smile then hug her, which surprises her again.
"Because you're the first person - besides my mother and spirits - that has ever been nice to me. Well you and Master." She smiles and hugs me back.
"Then from now on you're my little sister Lucy."
"I'll fill out the forms later, but for now... where do you want your stamp child?" I turn back to look at Master. I think for a bit before showing him my right wrist.
"Right here in black please." He nods and places the stamp an my skin. I feel a slight ticklish feeling. He pulls it back and I look at my wrist and smile.
"Erza," She turns to look at me, "to it seem like we're sisters, I'll dye my hair completely scarlet, okay?"
"That'd be great, we can take you to the hair salon tomorrow."
"That's okay. I can have it done right now for free. Plus when Cancer colors hair, it stays that way unless he takes the dye out himself."
"Really? Then we can do it when we get to my room at Fairy Hills. Your going to be staying there with me from now on Imouto." I smile again.
"Of course, you're the boss Nee-chan!" Erza smiles back at me.
