It is how it is. Or that's how I always liked to think of it. That they kicked me out for the greater good. That they were just looking out for their nakama. I still loved them all, heck, I loved them to the bottom of my heart. Even if they were completely wrong. So, so, so, completely wrong. I never laid a hand on Lisanna. I would never. I never killed those people. Never blew up the local orphanage. I was framed. But Fairytail never believed me, never listened to my side of the story. It was one quick glance and a 'Goodbye Lucy'. Am I angry? Hell yes. But the most important question is 'Am I hurt?'. Of course. Wouldn't you?


"Meow, Meow! Meow, Meow!"

"Mwah? I'm up, I'm up!" I said groggily, slamming my hand on the cat alarm clock on my side table. I never understood why Levy had gotten me the damn thing in the first place. I kept it of course. Levy would've grilled me alive if I didn't. Stretching I glanced out my window that was beaming in light. I had to be at the guild hall before noon. I didn't know why, but according to Natsu, it was important.

It better be important.

I stumbled out of bed only to regret it as my feet touched the cold wood flooring. Looking back at my bed, I gave it a sad smile, "I'm sorry, m'love. Time has tore us away once more."

That's it. I need to stop watching those late night soap opras. They're messing with my head. I twirled into the bathroom and turned the shower on, trying to keep ahold on the dream that made me almost never wake up. The dream of me and Natsu. I knew it was a dream, something that would probably never happen, but it was romantic.

To bad Natsu's not.

If anything, Natsu's the complete opposite of romantic. For my birthday last month he got me a roasted lizard on a stick. No, roasted is a misunderstanding. It was burnt. Black. Gross, right? But it was sweet. In a weird way I guess. But the fact that he remembered made my stomach flutter. Slipping in and out of the shower, I quickly got dressed in a sky blue tank top along with a tan skirt. After quickly putting on my black knee-high boots, I walked into the kitchen. Plue glanced up at me and danced,

"Plu-Plue!"

I smiled before bending down and rubbed his head, "Morning Plue!"

I made myself some pancakes before heading out, Plue walking straight after me. So far it was a normal day. Or so I thought. I never would've guessed that right at this moment, a second Lucy was at a local orphanage, getting ready to demolish it, with about twenty people inside. I would've never thought Elfman and Lisanna where there, protecting it with their lives. And I would have never dreamed that the second Lucy was there for blood.


The second Lucy smirked. It was a terrible smirk, grinning with pure venom. Something that made Elfman and Lisanna jerk at. Who knew the sweet, kind, and caring Lucy Heartfilia could hold this much hatred, venom, this much disgust towards them. They for one didn't. Lisanna squirmed uncomfortably, "Um, nice getup Lucy?"

The second Lucy smiled, "What this? Oh, it's nothing. But it's to dull. To boring. Maybe it needs color."

She motioned towards her black tube top and skirt. She kicked the ground with her spiky black boots, and cocked her head to the side, her ponytail waving behind her, "It needs red. A lot of red, don't you think?"

Elfman coughed nervously "I-I guess."

"Glad you think that."

With one motion, Lucy flicked her hand at the Magnolia Orphanage, a big black swirling ball of magic forming. Lisanna cried out, "Lucy, stop! There's people in there! Kids, innocent kids! What's gotten into you?!"

Elfman nodded, "Yeah, Lucy! Killing people's not manly!"

Lucy smiled viciously, "I'm just getting some red for my outfit, that's all."

Lisanna stepped in front of her, "T-Then you'll have to go through us! Master Makarov sent us to protect this orphanage with our lives!"

Lucy clicked her teeth, "And why's that?"

Elfman stood next to his sister, "There's been multiple killings all over Magnolia. We were sent here to protect and find the-"

"She's right here."

They fell silent. The black magic ball swirling bigger and bigger with every moment. Lisanna stood horrified, "You-You killed those people? Why?"

Lucy rolled her eyes, "They got in my way. They were in the way of my plans. Zeref's plans."

Elfman's eyes widened, "Z-Zerefs!?"

Lucy nodded, boredly, "His plans are as ordered. The orphanage must go."

Lisanna gasped, "N-Now Lucy. There can be another way. We can evacuate the orphanage. Make sure no one else's hurt. You can destroy the building without killing others."

It looked like the second Lucy was considering the thought. Lisanna relaxed a little, thinking that if this was the real Lucy she knew, she would never go through with this. Lucy smiled coldly,

"And what fun would that be?"

Before they could respond, the black orb of magic flew towards the orphanage, making it explode into a million pieces of debris. Elfman charged towards her, "Fairytail insignia or not, you're not a Fairytail member!"

Lucy smiled, placing her hand towards Elfman, "Why would I want to a Fairytail member anyway?"

Another black ball appeared, "They're weak."

The ball flew towards Elfman, hitting him with enough force to knock him back a few meters. Lisanna flew towards her, changing into her tiger formation. Lucy grinned,

"They're too softhearted."

Lucy swung her arm, a black like whip following her. The black whip slammed into Lisanna making her cry out in pain and shock. She slammed into a tree and slid down slowly. Elfman squirmed in the dirt, "W-Why are you doing this, Lucy?"

Lucy smiled, "Simple. I'm doing this for Lord Zeref. You got in the way."

Lisanna peered up at her pain clouding her eyes, "W-What do we tell Master?"

Lucy glared at them, amusingly.

"Tell him you've failed."


When I finally got to Fairytail, something was wrong. It was silent. Which was a first. The air didn't smell like whiskey, there was no sounds of furniture breaking, no shouting, just quiet. I closed my eyes, pulled open the doors, and smiled, "Morning, minna!"

I didn't get a response. Slowly, opening my eyes I found that everyone was staring at me. Not with happiness. Not with Joy. With hatred. They glared daggers at me, making me step back, "Guys? Wh-What's wrong?"

Lisanna walked up to me, flaring with anger. She stopped before me. I looked at her confusingly, "Lis-"

Smack!

My cheek stung as a redness started to form. I staggered back only to bump into a glaring Elfman. Tears started to form in my eyes as I narrowed my eyes at Lisanna. "What the hell was that for!?"

Lisanna didn't stop glaring at me as she lifted up her shirt's side. A long bandage had been wrapped around her waist. "For that, you murder!"

"W-What?"

Natsu stood next to Lisanna, "Luce, how dare you?!"

"H-Huh?!"

"Enough!" a voice boomed.

Everyone quieted down, but they still were sending hateful glances towards Lucy. Master Makarov walked in front of Lucy, tears fell down his cheeks. His eyes sad, angry, and hurt.

"Lucy Heartfilia, you are hereby exiled from Fairytail for harming your nakama, killing innocent pedestrians, destructions of the town, and for your involvement with dark magic and Zeref." He took a shaky breath, "If you so far as step into the guild hall, we will not hold back, do you understand?"

I froze. I didn't speak, didn't refuse, just stood there. Master sighed and my hand started glowing. Pain shot through me as the Fairytail mark disappeared. Elfman picked me up by my shoulder painfully and threw me out the doors. No one came out to see if I was okay after the doors shut. I picked myself up, tears running down my face, as my once guild hall began to become like its old self as the smell of alcohol filled the air and the ground began moving with noises. I sat up, ignoring all the pain throughout my body. My arm, shoulder, my face, my heart. My mind was reeling. My voice shocked me, sounding hurt, as my one thought spilled through my mouth.

"What just happened?"


a/n:

I know, I know, there's a lot of these stories. But I wanted to write one. It seemed like fun. Well, just letting you know, I don't own Fairytail and or it's characters, just the OC's coming up next chapter. If you want, comment or leave a review saying a name for what Lucy's new guild should be called. Until then…
