Did You Forget?
"Oh… I'm very sorry to inform you that she failed her job and was overrun by bandits…" The owner gloomily says, "She… She's dead…"
Chapter Two: She's Dead
~Hargeon, Normal P.O.V~
"But she can't be dead!" Natsu shouts, "She's way stronger than that!"
"I'm sorry, but that is what happened and you cannot change it" The owner said very solemnly, "She did take out most of them, but one overpowered her and there was a flash and then she disappeared…"
"How do you know exactly what happened?" Erza questions.
"Well, the fight was right in the middle of town, it wasn't hard to miss."
"So… she just… disappeared? Gone? Just like that?" Gray asks.
"Yes, and everyone saw what happened, but some people believe she might not be dead, but whatever happened, she isn't anywhere in Fiore."
"So we should just return to our guild and tell everybody?" Erza suggests.
"That is the best choice you could make at this point."
"Arigatto, miss, stay well."
"Good bye."
~10 DAYS EARLIER, Hargeon, Lucy's P.O.V~
I can slowly feel my magical power fading away as they attack, I am severely outnumber and am aware this is a fight I won't win. Happy, why did I have to listen to you? Why couldn't I have just ignored you? I'm going to die… I'll never be able to thank Fairy Tail for being so kind to me… I'll never see Natsu, Erza, Gray, Wendy, Levy, or any of my other friends ever again.
I am suddenly engulfed in a bright light and don't feel anything at all, I fall unconscious under the pressure and know that this is the end.
~BACK TO NORMAL TIME, Fairy Tail Guild, Normal P.O.V~
"We're back everyone…." The upset looking team says as they walk into the guild.
"Well… Where's Lucy?" Mirajane asks looking very concerned
"That… That's the bad part…" Natsu says
"What happened to her…?" Mirajane asks fearfully
"Well, she… she…" Natsu starts, but stops mid-sentence because he starts crying. Erza continues for him.
"She's dead…"
"WHAT?!" everyone in the guild shouts.
"How… how did it happen…?" Mirajane asks while tears are forming in her eyes
"We're not exactly sure, but the information we could gather from the town said that she was severely outnumbered in the fight. They… they said one member was too strong for her and there was a flash and then she was gone…" Erza can't hold back her tears any longer and suddenly she, and all the rest of the guild are in tears
"LUCYYYYYYYYYY!" They all yell.
The whole guild was in tears, but two were barely conscious. They had cried enough tears to put Juvia to shame. The tears were expected of the exceed, for he had always been so close with Lucy, but Natsu on the other hand, they had expected sadness, or sulking, but tears? From Natsu?
Everyone is sad and frightened they know in time they will forget about her… for most… but some might never forget the blonde celestial mage.
~TWO YEAR TIMESKIP, Hargeon, Lucy's P.O.V~
"Excuse me, miss, where am I?" I ask a person in a shop in a town.
I suddenly woke to find myself here. I have no memories of my past and absolutely no idea where I am and who I should go to to find out more about my past. I don't even know what my name is…
"You're in Hargeon." She says without looking up.
"Oh, thank you, also… do you know anywhere I can go to stay tonight?"
"Yes, there's a place over-" She suddenly looks up at me and gasps
"What's wrong?"
"You… You… You're that Fairy Tail wizard that disappeared!"
"What's Fairy Tail? I have no memories of my past."
"Oh my… follow me… I'm taking you back to your guild…"
"What guild?"
I reluctantly follow the woman, not knowing where I was going or why I was following her. All I knew is that she knew something about my past and she was going to help me.
