I do not own Fairy Tail :)

Speechless

If you were to walk into Fairy Tail right now, all you would hear is the sound of pages being flipped frantically. For one of the most destructive guilds in Magnolia, this was different... WAY different.

Third Person P.O.V.

Touched by Lucy's tragic background story, the guild had up and decided that they would spend the rest of their day looking researching a way to break her curse. Even Natsu, to much of his displeasure, has bullied by Erza into participating. Grabbing a pile of books, he sat down and began flipping through books.

Levy McGarden stood up with such a sudden bolt that her chair tipped over, causing the guild members' attention to be drawn to her. "I think I've got something!" an excited Levy called out.

"Lemme see!" The members of Fairy Tail gathered around her.

Levy read, "Though Confinement magic is very powerful, some say it's too strong." She stopped there. Tears collected at her lower lash line as her eyes continued to fly across the book page.

"Well? Read on!" Erza exclaimed.

"I-I... I can't" Levy sobbed. Dejectedly, she closed the book and set it down on the table in front of her.

"What? Just read it," an anxious Erza reached for the book on the table, but Levy's hand snapped out and snatched the book away.

Levy shook her head, not wanting to meet Erza's eyes, "It's too sad...".

"Too sad? How can that be?", Erza grabbed the book from Levy's hands.

Her eyes widened with every word. Everyone took caution of this, as the great Titania is not easily scared.

"It says that it is powerful enough to confine a person in a magical object", she gestured to Lucy. "But it also says that there is no known 'cure' for the curse, which means Lucy will be trapped in that key... with no way out.", She added that last part quietly.

Levy burst into the tears that she was trying hard to keep in, while Jet and Droy rushed to her side, trying to comfort her.

Lucy who was standing behind the crowd, looked down at her hands, almost speechless. "So, I'm going to be trapped in this key... forever?" Her quiet voice caused the members to around and gaze at her.

Natsu, enraged by this, slammed his fist down on the table he was sitting at. "No! We have to save Lucy! We have to help her!"

Erza spun around to face him, "We know that, Natsu! We just... don't know how."

Lucy's eyes became wet with tears. These people, whom she just met mere minutes ago, were all trying their best to break the curse that was set upon her.

"Eehh? Lucy, don't cry. We'll break that curse for you." Natsu said, when he saw the blonde's face. "I-I'm fine, it's just..." She threw herself at him. "... I barely know you guys, and you're helping me with this... thank you." Natsu wiped the teardrop that had slipped down her face. "No biggie. Just like we said, we never abandon a friend in need, and you are now our friend." He gave a childish grin, and she couldn't help but smile back.

She released him, but couldn't meet his gaze. Her smile faded away quickly when she remembered the fate that awaited them if they found out the way to break the spell. "I can't risk losing you all though." She turned back to the rest of Fairy Tail. "I think you should just put me back in that key. I don't want to lose you all right after I just met you.", her eyes downcast.

"No... never.", an unsteady voice said.

She turned to the direction of a teary Levy. "We will never put you back into that key. We will help you. All of us.", Levy smiled at Lucy.

"Yeah!", chorused the rest of Fairy Tail.

So, I first wrote this chapter back in 2013 or 2014 I think, and I was pretty bad a writing lemme tell you that haha. I've gone back and edited some things, so enjoy!
