A/N: HEY! So I know I haven't finished The New Girl, but if you've seen the update note then you know why I'm starting this while I'm still working on that one. I find the nickname I gave this story amusing HOKHLHWHLHG (try Pronouncing that!) Its just the first letters of each word in the title. Anyway, without further adieu here's the first chapter


I sat at the bar with my head laying on the table, I was quite a bit annoyed and bored. *Sigh* "What's wrong Lucy" A familiar face with a sweet smile asked me with a bit of worry in her eyes

"Natsu's being overprotective again, this time he didn't even let me go on the damn mission!" Mira looked at me with a sad smile and put the cup she was cleaning down

"He's just worried about you Lucy." I lifted my head off the counter and weakly smiled back

"I know but he's going too far, it's not like I'm helpless I may not be the strongest mage in Fairy Tail but I can take care of myself." Mira nodded and handed me the milkshake I had ordered a while ago. I sat there sipping on the strawberry milkshake 'It's not like he's my boyfriend or anything why does he act like this?' Mira walked back over to me after she handed someone a dish they had ordered.

"The job he took was a tough one but it wasn't too far away he should be back soon..." She trailed off and started talking about Natsu always winning a fight but I just stared blankly at the wall behind her and drank my milkshake. Soon I was finished with my strawberry treat and put some money on the counter, by this time Mira had noticed me not really paying any attention to her and walked away. I was about to go home and just work on my novel for the day since I heard Mira mentioning something about Natsu being back tomorrow, but decided to go shopping instead. I headed into town remembering a store Erza suggested.

'Erza was right this place is awesome it has a ton of great clothes' I ended up buying a few dresses, shorts, tops, and a new pair of boots, It was now evening and I decided to head home. I ate dinner and then brushed my teeth and hair, once I was finished with that it was late in the afternoon so I decided to work on my novel for awhile... 'I was able to finish a chapter of my book!' I noticed it was dark outside now, so I went to bed. 'Natsu will be back tomorrow...' was the last thing I thought before drifting off to sleep. When I woke up the next morning I took a long shower and put my hair in a side ponytail with a black ribbon, I then brushed my teeth and went to my closet to take out my clothes to wear... I decided to wear one of the dresses I bought the day before it was a white strapless dress with a thin translucent fabric with a floral pattern that connected the top part and the bottom I also wore some black flats and black leggings. 'I really love this dress!' I took my keys and started for the guild, walking on the rim of the road by the stream like I always did I started thinking. 'Natsu started being overprotective after the Grand Magic Games... Did I do something that portrays me as weak?' I pondered over this and hardly noticed I was at the guild hence for I almost walked face first into the door. I automatically headed for the bar stool next to Erza and Gray and sat down Erza noticing me looked up from her strawberry cake she was about to say hi but she stopped mid word "Is something wrong Erza?" Gray looked over with the same action and reaction I looked at them confused "Guys?"

Finally Erza spoke up "Are you going on a date Lucy?" I was even more confused now I shook my head to answer no "I was just wondering well because you're dressed all fancy" Gray was still staring I looked over to him and smiled he turned away quickly as if he was trying to hide something

"I just bought some new clothes yesterday so I wanted to wear a set" Erza nodded and turned back to her cake "Mira can you make me a milkshake?" She nodded and went for the counter... 'I guess today's gonna be another boring day." Mira soon walked over with my strawberry treat and handed it to me. I sat there similar to yesterday but also listening for the trademark I'M BACK shout from a certain obnoxious mage. I heard the door slam open, so I turned around only to have my smile fade. It was Happy and he was crying while holding Natsu, he had cuts and was bruised all over. Mira, Team Natsu, and I ran to him as quickly as we could, followed by some guild members. Erza and Mira quickly took him from Happy and brought him to the infirmary, Happy flew straight towards me and hugged me and continued crying "Happy what happened?" I said while petting his head I was trying to stay calm but it wasn't working well.

He looked up at my face "I don't know Lucy! We finished a-and he just collapsed on the way home!" I started walking to the infirmary as I continued to comfort him. When I entered I explained what Happy told me to the group. I noticed Wendy was starting to struggle while healing him, soon she started to bandage him for all the cuts.

"I believe he's been poisoned, But I did all I could he has to fight the rest off himself." Mira and Wendy left and were soon followed by Gray and Erza. I sat there staring at Natsu while Happy was slowly falling asleep on him. I held his hand in mine, tears began forming in my eyes 'If only I was stronger! You would have let me go!' Happy was now fast asleep and the tears began flowing freely on my face.

"I'll become stronger... Strong enough to protect you and everyone else I care about! I don't care if it takes years I will become one of the strongest if not the strongest wizards in Fairy Tail!" I quickly made myself presentable and left the guild. On my way home I started thinking on how I should train 'I know I need to improve both physical power and magic power.' If I was going to get the result I wanted I would need to train for at least two years. 'That's a long time away... I'm sure they will find a way to handle it.' I was now at my doorstep. I entered and contemplated if I should call Virgo to carry some of things. 'If I want to become physically stronger I need to carry all my things myself.' However I did call out Loke (Loki? I'm not sure)

He appeared with a bright flash of light "Yes Lucy?" He asked with a worried expreshion after all he had been able to see what I did from the spirit world.

I looked at him sadness written all over my face 'I really don't want to do this but if I want to become stronger...' "I just needed to tell you that I won't be calling any spirits out unless I absolutely need too... However if you must you can come out yourselves to talk to me. I'm sorry..." looked at him with a sad smile.

He looked speechless and sighed "I'm guessing you want me to tell this to the others?" I nodded as he left to go back I walked to my room and gather some clothes and other things I might need like a tent. *Sigh* I went into the back of my closet and grabbed some saved up money 'If I want to be able to pay my rent for at the most three years I will need at least 2,520,000 Jewels! I don't even know if I have that much saved up! I guess I'll just have to count.' I sat there and counted my money for about an half hour 'It cut close but it's a miracle I have, 2,730,000 Jewels saved up! That leaves me with 210,000 Jewels for the trip. I gathered all the things I had taken out earlier and placed them in a bag along with some nicer clothes just incase 'I guess I better get changed into travel clothes. I entered my almost empty closet now and piked out a pair of gray shorts, brown boots, and a orange tank top. 'I guess this will have to do. now to the most undesirable part the letters...' I headed to my desk and took out five papers and envelope and wrote the names of the corresponding names on them Natsu, Erza, Grey, Wendy, and Mira... It took me about two hours to do this. 'Now it's time to go check in with master.' I grabbed the money for rent and left my house. I was looking down the entire way there contemplating if this was really the right thing to do. Once again I hardly noticed I had made it to the guild. I put on a fake smile and headed for the master's office.

I was now in front of the door 'I can do this!' I knocked on the door with hesitation "Come in!" I heard a tired voice announce. I entered and saw a look of confusion on his face 'Surely he had been told about the incident with Natsu.' "Yes dear?" The small man in front of me said.

I mustered all the mental strength I could and looked him strait in the eye with a determined face yet I still stuttered a bit "I-I wish to leave th-the guild... Of course not at a permanent stand point." I saw a short glimpse of shock on his face but he quickly regained composure.

"May I ask why my child, and for how long?" I was certain he was upset about this I don't blame him for wanting to know why I would have wanted to know too after all.

I looked at him for about half a minute thinking about how I should word this 'I don't want to make it seem like it was Natsu's fault.' "Well, first of all I would be leaving for about two to three years. Secondly I would be leaving because I need to train i-if I don't want to have what happened to Natsu happen again... Also please don't blame him for this it was my choice. One last thing could you make sure my rent gets paid on time each month its 70,000 Jewel." I said the last part handing him a large stack of money " This should last for three years "Oh sorry there is another thing don't tell my team that I left let them find out for themselves I left letters at my house..." He looked at me for awhile before he snapped out of it

"And you really want to do this?" I nodded with that I got up and started leaving once more "Wait." I turned around to see him holding his finger up he had a sad look on his face, I copied his movement as a single tear fell from my eye I turned around and left his office. I walked down the stairs and took one last look around the entire guild 'This is the last time I will see the guild for at least two years' I left making sure I was alone. Once I was home I gathered all the things I had packed and took some water for the trip. I left with fear and sadness in my heart I would surely miss it here.

I was now long gone to a point with no return I had left Magnolia a few hours ago it was now late afternoon 'Darn I had hoped to at least get a bit of training in today... 'I wonder how long it will take them to find the letters... No matter I need to set up camp before it gets dark' I had decided on the way here only to use hotels if absolutely necessary as for I had not traveled with much money. I was now in a tent with a sleeping bag in the middle of a forest hours of travel away from Magnolia 'I hope they will understand...' I drifted off to sleep with this thought in my head, yet my night wouldn't be as quiet as I had hoped as for a severely damaged Natsu and my friends kept finding a way into my dreams.

I woke up with only a fraction of the dream in my memories. It was still early when I awoke, the sun had still been rising when I looked out. The first thing I did was change into another pair of shorts and another top I then Brushed my teeth and hair and put it up in a normal pony tail, I decided to keep up my camp for a while since I had found a nice clearing with a small pond and some hills along with a flat area which would be good for training. 'I guess I'll start with physical training. I really have no idea how to do this.' *Sigh* 'I guess I'll just run around for a bit.' Not wanting to come short and make the training useless I ignored the pain in my side once I had run for a bit. I stopped a half hour later 'I think I ran about four miles!' I didn't want to take a break though so I just drank some water. 'If I keep going like this I'll run out of water, I hope I didn't forget to pack a water filter.' I once again was lost on what to do for training ' I guess I can climb some trees? UHG I really need to make a plan tonight!' I began climbing different trees and trying to jump from branch to branch without falling, I did this for another hour. 'It's still long before noon. Although this will help with endurance and speed It won't help much if I need to fight with my fists, I need someone to train with...' I began thinking and the only real choice left was the last thing I wanted to do 'Not calling my spirits out was short lived... But I won't gain much without doing this.' I went back to my tent and dug around in the bag and found my key ring 'I guess Loke would be the logical choice...' I pulled his key off of the ring I was going to use it frequently after all I exited the tent.

I was quite embarrassed summoning him the day after I told him I wouldn't unless necessary. 'This is important right?' I thought to myself. I pointed his key out and summoned him, He appeared half a second later with a bright flash. "Yes Lucy? Is someone attacking?" I shook my head in a no motion he looked quite confused.

*Sigh* "I'm sorry to ask this after I told you I probably wouldn't summon you but I need to learn how to fight with my hands..." He looked quite shocked I probably would have been shocked too Celestial wizards don't normally know how to fight hand to hand combat. "To clarify I would like you to be my sparring partner and if possible help me out when I want to do any strength gaining activity" He now smiled and covered his mouth trying not to laugh "It's not funny!" I shouted at him. 'What makes this funny!?'

"Sure Lucy I'll help you train." With that he began telling me good ways to increase my strength, sense we were in a secluded forest all I could do was throw logs and rocks and lift logs and rocks 'Really all this has to do with rocks and logs! I guess I was the one to ask him for help.' I began with a decent sized rock about half my size, and lifted it over and over again for an entire hour. My arms were sore to no end and I still had half the day to go I began throwing slightly smaller logs to my surprize I made it quite far. The first went for five feet and I noticed that my motion was completely off once I fixed that the second one doubled and the the third made it slightly farther I continued this for another hour all of the logs landing within ten to fifteen feet. It took all my strength not to just fall over right there and then Loke seemingly noticed this and walked over to stop me. "I think you should take a break." I nodded and had a drink of water 'He's been out of his gate for over two hours now...' I was about to ask him if he needed to go back but he stopped me with talking himself "You're doing good someone might think you had been secretly training at your own house..." He smiled at me and I smiled back.

We sat there for another minute before I broke the silence "Are you okay Loke? You've been out of the spirit world for over two hours." I looked at him worried He just smiled 'He looked fine yeah but its Loke not any other spirit.'

"Are you mocking me? Remember I've been out of the spirit world for over two years once. I'm fine." I nodded and stood up the I put my things away ' I had felt a lot better now'

I finished packing up and walked back over to him "Let's mock fight then I'll send you back for a few days" he stood up and got ready but he noticed how I stood and chuckled "What's so funny?" He walked over to me

"When you said you wanted to learn how to fight you really did mean everything didn't you, you won't even be able to bring down a five year old with that stance." 'did he just say a five year old could beat me!?' I puffed out my cheeks and huffed and was about to start screaming at him but he stopped me when he grabbed my leg and moved it my face turned red

"W-what are you doing?!" He looked up and noticed my face and laughed once more

"I'm just fixing your stance relax" *Sigh* 'He could have warned me!' He continued moving my limbs around and stepped back once he had finished "Ok that should do try remembering that" I looked up and down at myself trying to remember how he placed me I nodded after about a minute "Ok come at me the best you can." At first that shocked me but then I remembered that he had fought a lot longer than me so I did as I was told and ran at him and tried to kick him in the gut I felt it hit something 'Why didn't he doge!' He was now laying on the ground I may not be strong but that sort of kick can knock almost anyone to the ground. I knelt beside him worried.

"Are you ok?" I grabbed his arm and helped him up

"Yeah I just forgot you had a strong kick." *Sigh* 'How long has he known me?' "Ok again this time try punching." I did as told once more this time he took a few hits and was fine but he dodged most of them. We continued for this for two hours with short lectures in between of him fixing how I move in each one.

At the end of the two hours I was actually at a fairly even ground with him, but then again He was holding back and I wasn't I could now block fairly well and my punches had more speed and power to them. "If you continue Like this then you won't need two years of training." He laughed so did I

"Your forgetting I plan on improving my magic too." he sighed and nodded. It was now fairly late I guessed about fiveish in the afternoon "Thanks Loke I plan on calling you back out in a few days ok?"

"Yeah anytime... just make sure to take at least a day of rest every now and then?" He looked at me worried

"Don't worry I will not overexert myself" he had a look of relief on his face and he left with the second flash of light that day. I went back into the tent into my back I grabbed a towel, some sleep clothes, soap, conditioner, shampoo, my empty water bottles, and began looking if I packed my water filter, luckily I did 'Ok great I can fill up my water and clean myself!' I headed over to the small pond I had found earlier and first filled my water then undressed myself and entered the water it was refreshing not too cold and not warm either 'Perfect! I was exhausted but this will help.' I began singing a song I had heard in town somewhere

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go

Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast

You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies

But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast

Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
Cause you loved her too much and you dived too deep

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
And you let her go
Well you let her go

Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go

Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

I finished up my hair when the song ended 'I love this song.' I walked out of the water and put on my towel I dried myself off then put on the second pair of clothes I brought with me. Once I was back at the tent I began thinking about what my plan should be I couldn't have it be a disaster like today was I sat for an hour making a chart ok

Day one: Train speed and endurance

Day two: Train strength and fighting with Loke

Day three: Train Magic

Day four Day: Train Magic

Day five: Rest

repeat

*Sigh* 'I guess I mixed up day one and two the first week, oh well I'll just train speed and endurance tomorrow! It's gonna be another long day tomorrow I better get some sleep!' Before I did though I took out a calendar I had grabbed at home and checked off today 'I'm lucky I had this magic calendar it'll reset once a year is over so I know when two years are done.' With that done I went to sleep.


I woke up immediately worried 'Lucy wasn't at the guild yesterday, I hope she's ok' I went to my closet and put on some clothes 'I know this will be useless since I will probably just strip them off anyway. I really hate that habit!'

I headed out for the guild even more worried remembering that dragon boy still hadn't woken up yesterday... I walked in and knew I was late since everyone without a job had been there everyone except Lucy 'Did something happen to her?' I questioned myself as I went to sit next to Erza "Hey Erza do you think we should go check on Lucy she hasn't been here in two days and with what happened to Natsu who knows wh-"

She cut me off "Yes! I was going to ask you to come with me today anyways." This surprised me I mean yeah she would be worried but she seemed almost excited to go check on her

"Okay then let's go." She stood up and dragged me with her as she ran way too fast for my comfort we were at her house within minutes we knocked on the door but no one answered the rang a new sense of fear through me Erza quickly busted down the door and ran into her room and searched every were. I noticed some letters on her desk with our names on it. "Erza come in here I found something." She quickly ran in and looked at me and then the desk she then grabbed the letter with her name on it opened it as I did the same I read what it said ignoring Erza in the backgrow throwing a fit about something.

Gray,

I don't want you to worry about me so I left these letters, I need you to know that I'm ok and that I won't be coming back for at least two years. Now before you freak out or anything I'm only on a training trip, and everything is done my house is paid for the time I'm gone I have all the things I need etc.

Now I also don't want you to blame anyone for this okay? I chose this because I wanted to be able to protect my friends instead of being the one protected. One last thing I need you to know that you are like an older brother to me, so don't change too much while I'm gone okay? Thank you for always being there I know two years is a long time but please understand.

Love, Lucy

Tears started to form i my eyes and I noticed Erza had already begun crying, so I let myself cry 'Two years!? Thats too long! Lucy I-we all need you here!' The woman I loved just ran away for two years, and she had just brother-zoned me too...


It was the second day of my training I once again got up early and put on a similar set of clothes as yesterday. 'I'm gonna run like I did yesterday but to make it harder maybe I should put on some sort of weights.' I ended up tieing two large rocks to my legs. I decided to find a trail to run on instead of just running around the clearing like I did yesterday, so I did. I soon found a long but slim trail in the woods I ran along it twice before I began feeling tired, I ran along the tail four more times to push the limit before heading back to my camp. About half way back I noticed a leather book on the ground I walked over to it and picked it up. It looked almost like a field journal I turned it around and Noticed some writing on the side panel all it said was Charter 'I'm guessing that's the name, but then who's the author?' When I opened it I was shocked it was setup like survival notes but it was about ancient magic... I flipped to the first page to try and see if they had put a way to find a certain section, sure enough there was a table of context I read through it and there were surprising amount subjects. I decided to take it with me it might be useful.

Once I was back at my tent I placed the book in it and bet out to start training again 'Next up is climbing trees.' I decided to keep the rocks on my legs to make it more challenging I did this for two hours this time 'That's about it for today!' I was elated it would be a day that I could do things other than train. When I got back I noticed my food was low so I went out to gather some fruit, berries, and nuts. I gathered a surprising amount. 'This place is perfect I might just make it a permanent base its secluded enough to where my friends cant find me but not too far away from town in case I need something. I ate a lunch of fruit and nuts that day. After I finished my food I decided to look through that book again, I looked at the table of context once more trying to find anything of use to me and then I noticed it Summoning Magic Page 173 'That sounds about right.' I opened to page 173 and read through it, but I only got to about sentence three when I was utterly shocked. 'Did I read this right?! Summoning a GOD!? This has to be a joke!' I continued to read the page, but was only shocked more with each sentence. 'So if I interpreted this correctly if I do this I can summon a god and from there on out the god's and my choices decide what happens? Okay if I do decide to do this what are the negatives one it's evil two the wrath of a god will be bestowed upon me good points one I get to meet a god two the god will help me and three nothing happens would be a good point in my opinion.' I thought over the points for hours 'UGH I just can't make up my mind!' *Sigh* 'I guess I'll see tomorrow.' I got ready to bathe in the pond once more.

I made it back to my tent and noticed it was starting to become dark 'So much for free time...' I grabbed my calendar and crossed of the square for today then crawled in my sleeping bag I was mentally exhausted 'Summoning a god huh?' was the last thing my brain managed to conjure up before I drifted to sleep.

I woke early once more 'Waking up early is starting become a habit.' suddenly all the events of yesterday came rushing back to me 'Oh yeah thats right I was going to try and summon a god today...' I stood up and got dressed and ate some fruit and water for breakfast. 'I guess it's time' I grabbed the book and my keys just in case 'Okay lets see large open area check Celestial wizard check the book check okay... so I lay the book in front of me and chant I who as found the Charter am now wishing to see the god of space the god of spirits the god of time itself I beckon thee to my side! Open gate of the Goddess! that sounds a lot like the first time you summon a spirit... I guess I just have to try it, also it's a Goddesses?'

'Okay I think I'm ready!' "I who as found the Charter am now wishing to see the god of space the god of spirits the god of time itself I beckon thee to my side! Open gate of the Goddess!" Suddenly it was almost as if the sky itself had made way for the sun, after the flash a short heat wave took over 'H-Had this actually worked?!' I opened my eyes and sure enough there was a beautiful young woman dressed in nothing but robes floating in front of me.

I sat there shocked 'I-I just summoned a goddess?!' "So someone has managed to summon me? It had been a great number of years since the charter has fallen into the hands of someone worthy of summoning me. Tell me child what is your name?" I stared at her with widened eyes as her voice rung over the entire clearing as if it were echoing across the entire nation.

"M-my name is Lucy Heartfilia." She smiled at me, a smile intended to look sweet but still managed to look frightening

"Tell me why have you summoned me here?"

I started sweating 'How do I tell A goddess I summoned her for no reason?!' "I-I don't know myself" she started laughing

"You certainly are an amusing one! I think I will take you under my wing. Now child don't be afraid. I am known by many names, but you can call me Geazul" She stretched her hand out toward me signaling for me to take it. (A/N you pronounce it by saying the letter G and the zul as in blue in spanish azul G-zul which brings me to how I got the name I just took the words blue and gem and mixed them together.)

And so I took her hand the sensation was unlike anything I had felt before it was weird yet amazing. I blinked and suddenly we were somewhere else it looked as if we were in the clouds themselves "If you don't mind me asking what keys do you have?" She asked me with a sweet smile

I pulled my key chain out from my pocket and showed them too her "All twelve Zodiac keys." She stared at me (A/N Oh No another one! In this story lets just say she had found all of the rest with Angle form the Oración Seis)

"Oh my that certainly is something! All to more reason for me to train you!" I looked at her my eyes widened once more. 'D-did she just say she would train me?!' I was internally cheering 'That would take care of magic training.' I couldn't help but start giggling. "What do you find so funny Lucy?" she said with a confused look.

I quickly composed myself "It's just that I was on a training trip when I found a book called Charter and hence for here I am" She smiled at me and walked closer to me.

"I see my child I am sure you are very busy shal we work out a schedule?" I looked shocked once more 'I would have expected her to just say this day that day and this day.'

I cleared my throat "Geazul May I ask you something?" she simply nodded "What exactly are you planning on teaching me?"

She looked amused once more "Why God-Slaying Magic silly!" For what seemed the hundredth time that day my eyes widened 'Me a god slayer!?" "So shall we work out that schedule I talked about?"

I nodded "Well, actually I had something in mind what I was planing to do from the start was two days of physical training two days of Magic training and then one day break." She smiled once more.

"That sounds good too me you can handle the physical stuff I would say and I teach you the magic! By the way what day would you be at today?"

"That would be the first day of magic training." I smiled

"well then let's not waste any time and get right into it!" Suddenly there was another flash of light and it felt as if power was flowing into my body from every curve and every corner of my body... 'W-what is happening?!'


Okay that's all for now! that was a very long chapter about 6,500 words! Now most of you know that this is a Lucy runs away and trains comes back bla bla bal bal... story and if you noticed it isn't very traditional because she was till noticed and not hated and all that when she left I just wanted something more original! So I hope you guys like it. Also I know I said Gray loved her but It's still a NaLu story!

I do not own the song Passenger does and it is called Let Her go

I do not own The picture for this Fan Fic

I do not own Fairy Tail!
