Lissana came home. I think that's when I realized it. I'm sure I had those thoughts before her return, but it was harder to ignore them. I felt- well, I felt weak, useless even. I think before, when it was just me and the impossibly strong mages in my team, I still felt weak but it was different. It was okay then because I was so very different from the rest of them. I felt like the only normal one, but it was okay because I was normal. I didn't need to be anything more. I identified with Lisanna. She was similar to me in many ways, so I think the fact that she seemed to keep up with the rest of the team, MY team so well kind of got to me. It kept bugging me, eating away at my thoughts until I couldn't think about anything else. Don't get me wrong, Lisanna's a great person, we're even friends! However, I didn't like feeling like the weakest link when I had an example of how I could be better standing next to me. That's why I stopped going on missions with them.
I didn't want to hold them back, and they seemed so happy to have Lisanna go on missions with them that it wasn't a big deal. I'm a little grateful for that, Natsu can be a bit of a drama queen sometimes, but I mean that in the best way. He's just very- uh- passionate.
I decided to leave Fairy Tail for a while. I'll definitely be back, Fairy Tail is my home, after all. I just need time to train, to get to where I could show my guild mark proudly and not let Fairy Tail down. And maybe see the world a little while I'm at it. Before I ran away, I'd never really left our house before. You and dad were always a little protective. Goodbye, mom. I'll talk to you again, soon. Love, Lucy.
Okay this is a thing I've been thinking about making. Basically it's a Lucy leaves story without a bitchy Lisanna, and with a lot of OCs. I'm posting a first-look sort of thing of the first OC, as well, so be sure to follow and review if that's the sort of thing that you're into. Rainbow out.
