Heartbreak, loneliness and betrayal were all she felt. Why did it happen to her; her mother was dead, her father didn't care and now her best friends have betrayed her. Lucy Heartfillia sat in a daze in her apartment, the events of that day kept replaying in her mind. Lucy was sat at her usual place at the bar, not that annoying in the guild actually noticed of course. Ever since Lisanna came back from Edolas , Lucy had become nothing but a shadow in the guild. No one talked to her, or even looked at her. Since this was nothing new to her because of the way her father treated her, Lucy was able to ignore the panging pain in her chest, the aching pain in her chest. However this became impossible when her best friend started dating Lisanna. Lucy couldn't understand why she felt unbearable pain when she saw her best friend and Lisanna together, well it was more like she refused to admit the reason she felt such pain. She never thought the pain she felt could get any worse but that all changed the day she was able to speak to her best friend and partner Natsu Dragneel for the first time in three months.

"Hey Natsu"

Natsu turned away fronm is daily fight with this long-time rival and friend Gray Fullbusuter.

"Oh…Hey Lucy…What's up?" Natsu's nervous behaviour immediately caught Lucy's attention, something was up and she was sure she wasn't going to like it. What she didn't know was that it was going to change her life forever.

"Do you and Happy want to go on a mission with me?"

Natsu's started rubbing the back of his neck and avoided her gaze, while Gray was looking in any direction but the direction Lucy was in.

"Well you see, me, Ice Bucket, Happy and Ezra are going on a mission with Lisanna this afternoon."

"Oh I see. How about we got on one when you come back?" This it was Gray who spoke, he still refused to look at Lucy and his voice was filled with sorrow and what sounded like painful guilt.

"Flame Brain added Lisanna to the team. Me and Ezra thought there were too many members in team, so we talked about it with the flaming idiot and we all agreed it would be better for you if you weren't on the team any more, since you wouldn't get a lot with the money being split 6 ways and you can't really do one of the higher paying missions by yourself" Lucy had a fake smile on her as she slowly turned to face her best friend.

"Nee Natsu we're still partners right?" No reply came from Fairy Tail's famous Salamander , he just continued to avoid Lucy's gaze.

"Oh I get it I'm not strong enough to be in a team with you or be your partner" Gray finally looked at Lucy the shock clearly visible on his face. The argument had gotten the attention of nearby guild members who were now listening.

"Lucy that's not what I _" Lucy cut off Gray's reply.

"No! You Listen To Me! You ignore ne fir three months and now you tell me I'm off the team because I'm too weak and you didn't even bother to tell me. And you!" She turned her attention on Natsu who flinched.

"I have put with barging in to my house eating my food, sleeping in my bead and getting less reward money because you destroyed most of the town on missions. Now you've repaid me by kicking me off the team and throwing away my friendship, I thought you of all people would treasure it. I thought you would be the person I could count on if I needed help but instead you betrayed me." She turned away and started to head towards master

"Luce I'm….." Lucy turned on her heel and looked at Natsu with tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Natsu don't you dare tell me your sorry because you're not! And you lost the right to call me Luce, you lost that right the day you forgot about me. I know you love Lisanna and you missed her but that wasn't and excuse for what you did." She turned to the rest of the guild and yelled "It wasn't an excuse for any of you!" Without saying another word Lucy made her way towards master who was sitting on the bar and had been watching the whole commotion. He was the only one who noticed Lucy, but due to her request he hadn't mentioned anything to the guild. When Lucy had finally got to the bar she only said two words. "Sacred Heart"

Lucy came out of her daze and looked beside her at the sword, dagger, sheath of arrows and bow. She had only really meant to take the sword 'Sacred Heart'. Had she made a mistake in choosing this path?.

"I don't think so. I've been waiting ages for you to accept who are you"

Lucy turned ger gaze towards the kitchen and a met a pair of crystal blue eyes. A young woman with beautiful long blond wavy hair was stood in the kitchen doorway.

I know you have Sakura."
