Chapter 2

Gajeel looked down on me and I could see the panic settle in his eyes. "N-no Bunny Girl…. You're not."

I sniffled and rubbed my eyes. "Then why would he say that?"

This time it was Laxus who answered.

"Because he's an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about." He deadpanned. "You're an amazing mage and probably the strongest Celestial mage to ever live. You have heart and guts. You stood up against that Saber brat and you would've won against Flare if Ivan didn't cheat."

I was shocked. Who knew Laxus was such a softie? I let out a small giggle as the train started moving. Gajeel immediately went green and feel on to my lap. I smiled gently and played with his hair, amazed at how soft it was. I glanced up Laxus. He staring out the window looking bored, but I could see the green tint on his face. I shook my head and leaned back, letting sleep wash over me.

I woke up and nudged Gajeel awake. We were at Sora Station (I don't know where her mansion is). He sat up and stretched, almost hitting me in the process. I whipped of the accumulation of saliva on my lap and jogged out of the compartment, followed by the sore slayers. We walked towards my families' house in silence. Gajeel and Laxus were looking around, having never been here before. I gave a small smile as we entered the servants' barracks.

"This is one fancy town." Laxus muttered.

I giggled before bursting out laughing. Gajeel and Laxus were staring at me like I escaped from the looney bin. I whipped tears away from my eyes.

"T-this isn't a t-town it's the servants' barracks." I coughed out.

"Servants' barracks?" Gajeel questioned, looking at Laxus.

I nodded. "We're going to Heartfilia Mansion. We've been walking on Heartfilia grounds for the last 30 minutes."

Their eyes widened. Laxus whistled and Gajeel raised an eyebrow. We entered the garden and I started running. I gave a sigh of relief as we appeared in front of the doors. I pushed the doors open and turned to Gajeel and Laxus. I grinned.

"Welcome to my not so humble abode." They looked around and started walking around.

"I'll call Virgo to get our clothes since we didn't grab them." I shrugged.

"Sounds like a good idea." Laxus agreed.

"Open: Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!"

"Punishment, Hime?" Virgo bowed, her blue eyes stared at me.

I gave a sigh, "No punishment, Virgo. Can you please get all of our stuff and move it to our rooms?"

"Yes, Hime." I watched as she disappeared into a golden light.

"Well," I turned my heel and smiled at the two slayers. "I'll show you to your rooms!"

I sat down on my old bed and ran a hand over the covers. I fell back and stared at the ceiling. My life was great until Natsu said all of those things…. I really don't want to hate him, but he's honestly leaving me no choice. I huffed and rolled on my side. I gave a startled 'eep' as Loke materialized in front of me.

"Princess," he stared at me sadly.

"Don't pity me." I buried my face in my pillow.

"I understand why you are upset, but why leave Fairy Tail?"

"I needed a break." I mumbled. "Everyone was ignoring me and there was no jobs coming in."

Loke frowned. "If you say so….. It's getting late. You should get some sleep."

I lightly glared at him, feeling like a child being put to bed. "I slept on the train,"

He gave me a no nonsense look. "Lucy."

"Yes sir." I retorted dryly.

"Lucy, I'm sorry." Loke's gaze softened as he disappeared.

I sighed and gave into sleep. All that night I dreamt of Natsu's words and of new beginnings.

I was quick to awaken. I swung my legs over the edge of the bed. I gave a half-hearted smile when I saw my bags at the foot of the bed. I changed into a skin tight lavender shirt and a white mini skirt. I slipped on my usual boots and belt while grabbing my keys. I waltzed into the main area and saw a pile of food and bolts on the dining room table. Thanks Virgo. I carefully put some food on a plate and started eating. I heard heavy footsteps approach the table. I looked up and nodded to Gajeel. He grabbed the plate of bolts and began scarfing it down. I sweat dropped at his antics as Laxus sauntered in, snatching the rest of the food. As we ate in silence I was wondering what was going on in Fairy Tail. Did Natsu get in trouble? Was the guild partying? Did Erza and Gray miss me? I shook my head to clear the thoughts as we all finished the food.

I stood up as the plates disappeared and walked around the table to Gajeel's side. He proceeded to place his arm on my head, much to my displeasure and Laxus' amusement. I scowled and jogged to the front doors. I pushed them open and stalked out.

"Sooooo, what's the plan, Laxus?" I asked.

"We should find a place to train." Laxus shrugged.

"That sounds good." Gajeel nodded.

"We should look in the forest." I gestured to the woods next to the house. "There might be a good place there."

After everyone agreed, we started into the forest. We walked for a solid 10 minutes before the slayers stopped.

"What is it?" I cocked my head to the side.

"Blood," Gajeel growled.

"And a lot of it too." Laxus added.

"Blood? We should go help them," I was about to move forward, but Gajeel stopped me.

"Bunny Girl, we don't know what happened. It could be a trap for all we know."

I yanked my arm from his grasp. "I don't care. If someone's injured then I want to help them."

"Bun-" He stopped looking at me. "Fine."

I was short, but it was still approval. "Where's it coming from?"

Laxus tilted his head to the right. "That way."

Gajeel picked me up and sprinted at neck breaking speeds towards the direction while Laxus turned into lightning. When we got there the sight made my want to throw up. In a clearing were 3 lifeless bodies. All of them were bloody. As I moved closer I could make out a female. She had black hair with a blue ombre and was wearing a tattered black hoodie and black jeans. When I moved on to the other two I felt horror knot my stomach. I would recognize them anywhere.

"Laxus, Gajeel? It's Sting and Rogue…"

Dun dun dun! What with happen next? The only reason I didn't post this is because of my wifi was being a little brat. I do not own Fairy Tail! I have a comment challenge… What is your greatest fear and why?
