"All cruelty springs from weakness."
― Seneca
If I told you what my weakness was, would you believe me?
My weakness is my family,
My weakness are my friends,
And he was my major weakness.
My name is Lucy though some call me Lu-chan, Lucy-san, and Luce but he calls me …. He saved me. He protected me. He gave me a new family and friends. He showed me how to trust. To love. Without him I'd be dead.
If you wish to hear my story then I will allow.

Lucy POV
Solo mission after Solo mission, bandages after bandages, that's what's been going on for months. It wasn't that bad in the beginning but over time fewer people were talking to me. Levy-chan, Gajeel, Wendy, Romeo, Juvia, Master and the exceeds, even Lisanna tried to talked to me but was always pulled away.
I mean even after our rest for seven years and winning the GMG, they abandoned me and I was alone once again. But I gained allies that can easily crush them, power that can easily kill them and a side that could easily scare them.
Today, the exact day Lisanna came back seven months ago, or seven years and seven months, I was about to open the doors but someone pulled me aside. It was Team Natsu with Lisanna on the verge of tears. I knew what was happening and I was prepared but I never knew they could be so harsh. Everything they said I just tuned out and showed a passive face, it's not like I don't know what they are saying. I put my hand into a stop sign in front of their faces, they stopped and I dropped my hands to my side and slightly bowed and got up.
"Thank you for your constructive criticism. Not like I was actually listening though." I mini gasped and covered mouth
"Oh I'm sorry I stated the truth right in front of your pathetic faces. I mean come on seven frickin' months and this is what you have to say to me. What happen to all that nakama shit you three were fucking yelling about I don't know for years. I guess the so called strongest team was full of lying bitches, well save Lisanna and me. 'Cause look she went to go get help for you."
"Ya right. She probably went as to not see you get hurt." Gray sneered.
"How can you hurt us, three of the strongest mages in Fairy Tail?"
"Because boys and girls … I'm stronger than you, motherfuckers."
"Care to test that." Oh look its Erza this time.
"It'd be my pleasure. Come at me!"
Review!
"You're going to meet many people with domineering personalities: the loud, the obnoxious, those that noisily stake their claims in your territory and everywhere else they set foot on. This is the blueprint of a predator. Predators prey on gentleness, peace, calmness, sweetness and any positivity that they sniff out as weakness. Anything that is happy and at peace they mistake for weakness. It's not your job to change these people, but it's your job to show them that your peace and gentleness do not equate to weakness. I have always appeared to be fragile and delicate but the thing is, I am not fragile and I am not delicate. I am very gentle but I can show you that the gentle also possess a poison. I compare myself to silk. People mistake silk to be weak but a silk handkerchief can protect the wearer from a gunshot. There are many people who will want to befriend you if you fit the description of what they think is weak; predators want to have friends that they can dominate over because that makes them feel strong and important. The truth is that predators have no strength and no courage. It is you who are strong, and it is you who has courage. I have lost many a friend over the fact that when they attempt to rip me, they can't. They accuse me of being deceiving; I am not deceiving, I am just made of silk. It is they who are stupid and wrongly take gentleness and fairness for weakness. There are many more predators in this world, so I want you to be made of silk. You are silk."
