Dear Lu-chan,
As you're reading this, I'm probably far, far away. Don't worry though! I'm ok, I really am. I suppose that by this time you will also have found out the news... Regarding my child issues. I just can't bring myself to face the guild. Gajeel considerately thought that we should go on a little trip for a while, and I agreed. I need a pause, a little time to think without people around me. It has nothing todo with any of you, it just is.
Please take care of our apartment while I'm gone! I know you have trouble with rent just for your own apartment, therefor I give you access to my savings, which I have locked away in a bank-account to pay for my rent this coming year. Just speak to the bank, I have already arranged the rest.
I was at the tree today, with Gajeel. Yes, THE tree, where he crucified me when we met. I still feel scared around it and I shivered a lot. He was very grumpy the whole time, but really, I just think he was sad. We may be past that moment by this point in our relationship, but I don't think we will ever forget what happened. We've already talked a lot about it, and he will never stop regretting it as much as I will never fully recover from the trauma. Besides, he saved me from Laxus there too! There's not only bad memories there. :)
I left keys and other important stuff with a man, who will be waiting by the tree every day until you come and fetch it. He's a friend and I trust him, however I recommend you get them as soon as possible. Thank you...
I will miss you all terribly. But this is necessary. Nothing would have made me change my mind, anyway. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you, or the guild, first. I don't know where we're going, Gajeel is the one who planned it all, so there is no use trying to send me letters. I am bringing a lacrima though, and sometimes I might send snapshots of our travels.
I love you all. I'm sorry.
Love and regards,
Levy

And that marks the beginning of my ten chapter (eleven chapters with this one) long fanfiction depicting Levy's travels after the terrible news she received in A gnawing suspicion! I'll pop in here and then to add a note at the end of every chapter. I hope you enjoy! Credit for the cover goes to .com, as with the last fic :)
Love, Onria
