Chapter 2: A Misunderstanding Led To A Tragedy.

3 days later

The Fairy Tail guild was unusually quiet ever since the confrontation three days ago. They can't still believe that Natsu actually said those words to Lucy bluntly. They can't still believe that Natsu could degrade someone-especially Lucy- like that. Now, they only have a single question left. What happened to Natsu?

The silence was shortly disrupted by someone who violently opens the door and yelled…

"I'M BACK!" a pink haired man shouted across the guild, grinning widely. Yep. It's Natsu.

The whole guild flinched at the sound of his voice and immediately glared at him.

"Err… what?" he asked taking a step back.

"WHAT, WHAT?!" Gray snapped, standing violently banging the table on the process.

"Gray? What's the problem?" Happy asked, flying towards him.

"Problem? THE PROBLEM IS THAT MAN!" Gray yelled pointing a finger at Natsu.

"Hey! How come I'm the problem, Ice Princess?!" Natsu yelled.

"WHAT THE HELL?! DON"T TELL ME YOU CAN"T REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED 3 DAYS AGO!" Erza yelled, joining the commotion.

"What do you mean by three days ago?" Natsu asked, arching an eyebrow.

"Stop fooling around, Natsu." Mirajane hissed, giving Natsu a 'Satan Soul' glare.

"But, I'm not fooling around! I was on a mission I took four days ago! Right, Happy?" Natsu yelled, as Happy flew back to him.

"Aye! I was with him!" Happy said, making everyone froze.

"Four days… ago?" Mirajane muttered and quickly searched for the logbook.

After a minute of searching, her eyes widened in shock...

"G-Guys? H-He's telling the truth. He did take a mission four days ago…"

"Oi! What's happening?" Natsu asked, suddenly feeling uneasy.

Everyone stared at him in confusion and shock. Mira came up to him and explain to him everything that happened three days ago.

"I… what?" Natsu asked, shock evident on his face, "But, I can't do that!" he yelled.

"We know, Natsu. We know." Mira said, comforting him.

"But, why would you go on a mission without telling any of us?" Gray asked.

"I took that mission to buy Lucy a present for her birthday today." Natsu said. "… but, I didn't expect it to turn out like this!"

"Oh yeah, Lucy's birthday is today…" Erza muttered.

Everyone was silent for a while before Natsu broke it.

"Where's Lucy?" he asked looking around.

"We don't know. She hasn't showed up at the guild for three days now." Mira said, frowning.

"I'll go find her." Natsu said and run towards the door.

But, before he could reach the knob, Master Macarov grabbed him using his large hand and brought him back at the center of the guild.

"She's on a mission, you brat!" Master Macarov said, making everyone froze.

"But, Master? I don't remember Lucy taking a-"Mira said, only to be interrupted by the Master.

"I gave her that special mission. Besides, she asked for it… so that she can get over at what happened." Master Macarov explained.

"This is all my fault." Natsu said, slumping on Master's hand.

Everyone stared at him in sympathy. In that moment, a messenger bird came up to Master and dropped an envelope.

"A letter for Master Macarov." The bird announce and flew away.

Master Macarov opened the letter and began to read it.

"What was that about?" Natsu asked as murmurs started only to be stopped by Master Macarov.

"Brats! Listen!" Master said as he started to read the letter out loud. Everybody looked at him. Confusion written on their faces seeing the Master with solemn face.

"To Fairy Tail,

We are informing you that your fellow member, Lucy Heartfilia has died while on a mission. We are also informing you that her body fell onto a cliff and our town is still searching for it.

Condolence.

With sympathy,

Town of Tale."

Everybody were silent after they heard what's inside the letter as silent tears fall from their eyes.

"No! Lucy can't be dead!" Natsu yelled, his own tears streaming down from his eyes.

"Natsu…" Lisanna called. "Just... accept…the…fact…" she added between sobs.

"No! Lucy can't die! It can't be!" he continued to yell and after minutes of doing so, he ended up kneeling on the ground and punching the floor.

"LUCY!"

TEARS.

You wish for them to just go away,

But in reality, even though they go away,

The pain is still there.
