I am back from the DEAD! Sorry for not updating any of my stories but I was having very bad writer's block and I still do.
I do not OWN Fairy Tail and if I did, a lot of fictional people are going to die.
Makarov's pov;
Its been a whole month now, since Lucy left the guild, drinking my liquor at the bar. I felt never-ending disappointment in my children, in Fairy tail. It goes against what we say and believe,
"Nakama..."
I wonder how she is, she hasn't sent any letters to me like she promised. But then again, she doesn't have to if it reminds her of the hardships we made.
I remembered what she said to me when she came in to my office with a cold look,
"Master, I want to quit the guild." I remember how I felt crushed when she said those words. I knew of her situation, ever since Lisanna arrived back from Edolas, after years of thinking that she died she came back home.
But this made Lucy lonely, everyone was too focus on Lisanna that Lucy was forgotten.
No-one talked to her but me, even her spirits left her for Lisanna.
Flashback;
I was sitting in my office, at my desk doing the usual paperwork.
I heard a knock "Come in" I said and went back filling papers.
I saw the door opening and coming inside was Lucy with a cold look, I held a look of worry plastered on my face.
"Lucy my child, what is wrong?" Lucy closed the door and came closer and stood in front of my desk.
"Master, I want to quit the guild." She said, I knew why and I felt the anger inside me,
"I think you know the reason why but today was the final nail to the coffin." She said and she held back the tears forming in her chocolate brown eyes.
"They told me that I was weak, a coward who does nothing useful." She laughs but she barely kept her fake smile plastered, she hasn't smile for real in a long time.
"Even if I train, I still be weak they said." Her bangs hid her face, she found the ground more interesting and her fist tightening.
"Please, allow me to leave Fairy tail." At that moment, the pink mark on her hand fades away. It is painful but I have no right to stop her. She bowed and said her thanks,
"Thank-you Master, you were like a second father to me. Don't worry I'll send letters." She gave me a small smile that still has some warmth after her ordeal.
"Will you come back?"
"Maybe..." When she was about to exit the room, she paused for a bit "Please don't mention this to everyone else, I want to see how it takes them to realize my departure."
Flashback ended;
I haven't seen her ever-since, just a week ago the news came out that Lucy left the guild but no-one cared for her well-being upset me.
For the past five months, Lisanna's welcome back party continued and everyone ignored her however Gray's behaviour was very strange. He ignored Lucy but whenever Lucy looked at him, he quickly turns away and runs for the hills.
Does he likes in a crush-sense her and was shy to see her? Or was it something else?
And after Lucy left, I felt no presence of Gray even if he stood in front of me.
It was very questionable, an illusion? But Gray is an ice-maker mage.
Ice-Clone? But it turned into water after two days...
The guild was filled with chatter and laughter, I looked everywhere and see no guilt in their eyes of what they had done to their forgotten nakama.
Normal pov;
Everyone is happy in the guild of Fairy tail, maybe not for Gray.
He remained silent for a whole year and disappears here and there.
Erza, Nastu and Lisanna sat by at a table and chatter,
"Can you believe that Lucy girl has the guts to go and train?" Lisanna said with a distasteful tone with the two agreeing with her.
"Why would Master care about that weakling?" Erza muttered as she bite into her favourite strawberry cake.
"Where is that ice-brain!?" Nastu itching for a fight,
"I didn't know that you cared for him Nastu." Lisanna giggled as the Fire Dragon Slayer angrily denied.
Soon they notice of a stranger passing them, walking in the halls of the guild with the sound of boots tapping the ground.
They see the blonde hair loose and flows, a female figure walking towards Makarov, in a camouflage uniform with a duffle bag strapped on her back.
"It can't be…" Lisanna uttered, silences then whispers soon follow after the stranger's arrival.
"Is that her?" A voice said, the stranger ignore the comments said about her.
"There are no differences in her magic." Another said, the stranger smiled as she was walked closer to the Master as he sat by at the bar.
"She is a weakling after all, training can't even help the bitch." Another voice muttered, the stranger stopped in front of the Master of Fairy tail.
"It is expected." Someone agreed and others nodded, the stranger continued her stand.
"But her eyes look different." Another person notice a change in this familiar stranger,
"Is that really her? Her chest looks smaller." To the stranger's ear, it was a voice she hasn't heard yet and thought must be a new kid.
"I'm home Master, do you remember me?" The familiar voice to the Master's ears, the voice of his neglected child.
'Her eyes...' Makarov observe the female to find her brown chocolate eyes the most interesting, 'they look so... cold.'
Instead of continuing to look at her eyes, with a smile and some tears he said "Welcome back Lucy."
As the chatter continued about the returned mage, Lucy simply observed her surroundings. "I see that nothing as change around here. She remarked resulting of some anger in its members.
Makarov laughed, "No big changes, it is the same as usual." He followed with "Would you like to have the mark again?"
"Would you like it on the old spot?" He asked but he did not get an answer from the blond mage. It looks like she was processing of what he just said and has no idea what to say.
She then starts to scratch the back of her head realizing what she has done, "Sorry about that, I forgot that I even had this arm." She laughed has everyone listening in their conversation had their jaws wide open, Makarov turn white as Lisanna's hair with his jaw wide open.
"Um, Master can I have it in black?" Lucy asked which snap Makarov from his train of thoughts. With the stamp of approve, he imprint the mark of the fairies in black at the back of Lucy's right hand.
Everyone else continued what they do best, chat and drink with the occasional fight here and there. Lucy walked upstairs and grabbed a request sheet that reads,
"Help us! A dark guild killing our villagers, help us!"
"Master, I'm taking this request!" The blond mage said as she waved the sheet of paper in her left hand and heading to the exit.
When she walked past Gajeel's table, it caught his attention. 'Her scent' he thought with a grunt, 'Wasn't it strawberries before?'
'Why is it a metallic scent? It is bitter and burnt...'
When she walked past Wendy and the white Exceed, the little cat creature named Carle and its eyes widen filled with fear.
Wendy caught a bit of her metallic scent and quickly paled, 'Her scent has a bitter smell but why do I also smell... Blood?"
"Wait! That is an S-class mission!" Master called out but she said,
"Don't worry, I been in far dangerous things then this!" She answered back, seeing the bright light once she set foot outside.
That's the prologue done! Thank-YOU for reading this and please leave a review!
