Introduction: THE BETRAYAL

The sun was shining on this beautiful summer day. The birds were chirping as the water flowed through the town. It was a peaceful day in Magnolia and a regular day for Lucy…

She had been ignored for months and she had been going on missions by herself. Ever since Lisanna became affectionate with Natsu, she had been ignored and Mira had been shipping Lisanna and Natsu. It was almost as if she had been… forgotten. She was heart broken… Her best friend, teammate and crush… had been falling for someone else. He didn't even seem to notice her anymore. It seemed as if… he didn't care about her.

The only people that cared were Romeo, Gajeel, Levy, Juvia, Wendy, and Carla. At least they didn't hate her… At least she knew… some people cared….

Little did she know, this day would be her worst nightmare, it would be the day that would change her life forever.

Lisanna was running out of breath as she burst through the doors and screamed, "Help….me!"

"Lisanna!" Mira yelled running toward her little sister.

"What happened to you!" Natsu screamed as her ran to Lisanna as well as everyone else in the guild.

"I-I… was attacked and... my home was… burnt down!" Lisanna cried as she fell on the floor.

"Who would do something so horrible to you… I mean, you're one of the nicest people in the guild!"

"Lu… Lucy did it…" Lisanna mumbled dryly . Natsu clenched his fists and scowled.

"Why would Lucy do anything like this!" Happy whispered.

" I guess the Lucy we knew… was a lie…" Erza stated walking over to Lisanna and helped her get up. We need to take you to the infirmary. Erza whispered as she carried Lisanna and brought her to the infirmary.

'Would Lucy really do this?" Natsu thought as he stared at his fist. Clenching it he wondered 'Is Lisanna really telling the truth?'

"Natsu..." Happy walked up to him. "Lucy would never do anything like this... you have to believe me!"

The room sat in silence as Erza returned from the infirmary. She sighed sadly, 'Lucy why?' she questioned internally.

Natsu looked up and looked at Happy, "How do you know Lucy didn't do it?"

"I..."

"See you don't know"

"But... Natsu! She would never do anything thing like that to us and you know that!" Happy objected. "When has she done something bad to us!?"

"She lied about her identity, that made Phantom Lord come after us." Natsu replied his voice getting cold.

"She was trying to start a new life! Who would blame her?"

"Would Lisanna lie?" Natsu asked.

"N... No..." Happy mumbled.

"Wait Natsu!" Levy objected.

"I agree with Happy, Lucy would never hurt her nakama like this!"

"Juvia agrees too! She might be my love rival but, she was always nice to me!"

Erza stared at the crowd of people fighting. She spaced out and her vision went blurry, and she thought about who to trust.

Lucy's POV:

A ringing was coming from my alarm, I wanted to snooze it again but, I knew I had to get up, I clicked the snooze way too many times. Slowly, I got up and looked at the time... 3:30 pm... 3:30 PM?!

'Oh gosh I was sleeping for too long!'

I got up out of bed and went to the bathroom and started a warm bath. Walking out I went to go get some clothes.

"Hmm... What to wear..." I asked myself groggily... 'Hopefully this bath will warm me up.'

I picked out the normal clothes and walked into the bathroom and turned off the water. Quickly I took off my clothes and hopped into the bath.

"Ahh... So warm" I sighed and breathed deeply.

Looking up at the ceiling, I thought, 'I wonder what Natsu's doing...'

~10 minutes later~

I got out of the bath and put on my new clothes, putting my hair into a braid. 'I wonder how Natsu will think of this'

Walking out of my room, I went downstairs to the kitchen. Opening to fridge I saw that Natsu didn't visit... All the food that I had bought was still in there. I took out two eggs and two strips of bacon. Slowly, I walked to the stove and I cooked them for breakfast.

I ate it slowly, playing with my food sometimes, it felt really lonely without Natsu and Happy here. It just... Didn't feel right. Closing my eyes I thought, 'Why didn't they come last night, or this morning, something is really off'. I finished my food and put away the dishes. Walking to the front door, I put on my black combat boots, coiled my whip, attached it to my belt, grabbed my celestial keys and house keys.

I opened the door and walked outside, making sure I close and locked it. I gazed at the sky, the white puffy clouds dancing in the wind, all while the sun shine brightly. The wind blew lightly, just enough to blow my hair back a bit. 'This is going to be a great day!'

Walking toward the guild I knew right from the start... something was really wrong. The aura of the place felt like it had gotten darker, almost angry. As I walked even closer to the guild the wind blew furiously and the beautiful blue sky was now covered in dull gray clouds.

I sighed heavily and walked even closer to the guild, this time, making it to the steps of it. Something was really... REALLY wrong. When I heard yelling inside the guild, this confirmed my suspicions, there was an argument going on and it wasn't one about stupid stuff... like it usually is. This time, the arguing was about something serious, I could feel it in my gut.

Slowly, I opened the door slightly to see what was going on, I saw everyone crowding around fighting about... who to trust? Lisanna sat in the middle of it crying, she was bruised and on a wheel chair. Not only just bruises though, there were scratch marks and burns everywhere. She looked like someone has just tried to kill her.

Finally I opened the door and walked in "Hey guys... What's... wrong?"

Everyone turned around, some looking furiously at me, others looking terrified or sad.

"What's... going on...?" I asked my eyes gazed around the room, I saw Mira standing behind the bar crying.

In the corner of my eyes I saw Natsu... staring at me... with furious eyes.

"Why..." He whispered.

"Why did you do THIS!"

"Wha...?" I questioned. "I... I didn't do anything"

His gaze was cutting through me, it was terrifying.

"We trusted you!" He yelled.

"What are you talking about!?"

He walked toward me and I slowly stepped back.

'No... This couldn't be happening!'

Transparent tears formed at the tips of my eyes as he grabbed my shoulders.

"WHY DID YOU HURT LISANNA!?" He yelled.

I looked at him, shocked. 'What did he just say...? Why did I hurt Lisanna?'

"I never hurt her..." I whimpered as he squeezed my shoulders.

"Liar..." Lisanna mumbled. "LIAR!"

Natsu started to crush my elbows, his nails digging into them. It was so painful, I could feel his nails cutting my shoulders open.

"You! You burnt my house down... You took everything from me... YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!" Lisanna yelled furiously.

"We all trusted you with our lives, we trusted you as a friend... I trusted you." Natsu scowled.

Warm tears dripped from my eyes.

"Of... course... you cry... Just like how weak you are."

"Natsu... What are you...?" I felt my squeeze me shoulders tighter, I whimpered in pain.

"I said you're weak... all you ever did was wait for someone to rescue you... YOU SAT AROUND AND DID NOTHING! You WATCHED your spirits fight for you... You WATCHED us fight for you... and this is what you do to us. Traitor! You're officially off the team! " He screamed.

"If I ever see your face here again... You better bet... that it won't be pretty... Trust me... EVERYTHING WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU JUST LEFT"

He let go of my shoulders and I was finally able to his escape.

I burst out of the guild hall hot tears running down my face.

When I arrived at home I walked to the bathroom to clean up my face. My eyes were red and puffy from crying. I felt liquid run down my shoulders. Slowly I looked over and what I was horrifying, blood stained my shirt and deep wounds covered not only my shoulders, my arms as well.

Looking through my drawers I finally found my medical supplies. I patched up my wounds and started at myself in the mirror and laughed... I looked like I just ran a marathon.

Slowly, I walked out of the bathroom and changed into from decent clothing.

Then, sat on my bed and stared up at the ceiling. My eyes slowly teared up, 'Why... Why didn't they believe me...'

I realized that this one day had changed so many things... friends that cared about me now... hated me... The person I cared deeply for... hated me. This felt like a knife to the heart... 'I didn't deserve this... right?'

All of a sudden, a golden light encased the room and two of my celestial spirits were summoned, Virgo and Aquarius.

"How are you gonna get a boyfriend like this?" Aquarius questioned me while smiling.

"..."

"Princess... Are you ok?" Virgo asked.

"Yeah... I'm perfectly fine" I answered rolling my eyes.

"Don't worry... You won't have to deal with those idiots if you left..." Aquarius assured me.

"Should I leave...?" I mumbled.

"It's all up to your Princess." Virgo replied.

"EVERYTHING WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU JUST LEFT"

I smiled lightly, "Then it's settled! I'm going to leave Fairy Tail!

~ 6:30 am The next day~

I walked to the guild, excited to leave... I can't wait to have this guild behind me... Than I could finally move on. I kicked the door open and slowly looked around the guild...

'Even if I can't wait to leave... Boy, I am going to miss this place.'

I walked up the stairs to the Master's office and knocked on the door.

*knock* *knock*

"Come in my child" I heard a voice from the other side say.

I slowly opened the door and walked into the room with Master in his chair... that was probably too big for him.

"What do you want?" He asked warmly.

"I wanted to know... uhh... If I could leave the guild."

His head shot up from his paperwork and he stared at me.

"You... want to leave?" He questioned me.

I nodded slightly and he sighed.

"I respect you decision... I heard the commotion downstairs." Makarov mumbled.

"I couldn't blame you for leaving..." With a flick of his wrist, my Fairy Tail mark slowed faded into golden dust, than the dust disappeared into thin air.

"You must follow these three rules... than you are able to leave, One: You must never reveal sensitive information about others as long as you live.

Two: You must never use former contacts met through your being in the guild for personal gain.

Three: Though our paths may have diverged, you must continue to live out your life with all your might, you must never consider your own like to to be something insignificant, and you must never forget about your friend who loved you. Good bye... Lucy..." He smiled

"Thank you... Thank you for everything... Master" I smiled back.

I ran out the door and quickly ran down the stairs.

As I was just about to leave, Mira had just enter.

"Hey Lucy... Are you ok... about yesterday...?" She asked.

"Mira...I..."

She looked down at my right hand and her pupils dilated.

"Lucy! What happened to your guild mark!?" She asked frantically.

"I left Mira... I'm sorry..." I answered

"Lucy..." She whispered as she hugged me.

She hugged me tightly and after 2 minutes we parted.

"Give me a minute!" She said as she ran to the bar.

After two minutes, she ran out with a strawberry milkshake.

"Here... for your trip." She smiled bitterly.

"Thanks... You didn't have to do this." I mumbled.

She smiled even brighter, tears falling down her cheeks, "Take care of yourself, because I and many others care about you so much..."

My eyes slowly teared up, "Thank you... for everything."

I ran outside the guild, I knew I shouldn't have turned around... but I did and I saw Mira fall down on her knees and burst out crying.

I felt pain in my heart as I ran farther and farther away.

I don't want to go back...

I'll never go back...

I'm sorry... Mira...
