Taste my Pain
Chapter 3: Happy Found Out
When I finished writing all the letters, I then casted the same spell that I did to the first letter that was addressed to Fairy Tail. Only allowing them to open it themselves with no help from anyone else. Each person has their own task to open the envelopes such as Natsu with fire, Gray with ice, Erza with blades... I sent them all to Master Makarov with the help of Virgo. I added something to the envelopes for a final touch... 'Time Spell', this spell would only deactivate when everyone finally notices how long I've been gone for.
Virgo was able to deliver Lucy's letter in a short amount of time. While Virgo was going to Fairy Tail, Lucy prepared to go to sleep. She brushed her teeth and washed her face, she groomed her hair, and changed into her warm pyjamas. Before going to sleep, she wanted someone to comfort her, and that should be barely obvious, "Open! Gate of the Canis Minor! Nikora!", Lucy chanted as she held out Plue's silver later her little shaking spirit appeared from a warm light. Plue appeared and nervously waved to Lucy with a bright smile. He might seem stupid looking but he was really caring and friendly.
Plue shakily walked over to Lucy and carefully jumped on her lap, he quietly sat down, ready to hear Lucy's story...
Natsu's P.O.V
"Natsu... Why did you say those things to Lucy?" My blue partner asked with a worried voice.
"I don't know what came over me, but ever since Lisanna came back... I just wanted to spend more time with her", I replied while I rested my forehead in between my palms. "Natsu... You somehow changed", Happy stated before flying somewhere without another trace of words.
I really wished, not to say that, but it wasn't according to plan. I just wanted to surprise Lucy, but something hit me... I'm never like this to my nakama. It seems so... difficult and frustrating to even think about kicking out, Lucy. I never wanted to kick her out... It was a misunderstanding. "Yea, a misunderstanding", I said to myself.
Happy's P.O.V
I haven't seen Lucy ever since 12 in the afternoon. Lucy was different... She seemed to be distant for some reason. I don't know why, but Natsu seems different too, actually... everyone seems out of character. 'Does that mean Lucy won't give me fish?', I thought to myself. I don't know why, but all I knew, was that next week was Lucy's birthday, and it seems like Team Natsu was planning something behind Lucy's back, but around that time, Natsu was partying for Lisanna's return party. He vanished when we were walking home which was around 3 in the morning. Does his disappearance relate to this situation. I just hope that Lucy is fine... she promised me that she'll give me fish and explain ways to make Charle's heart belong to me.
Lucy's P.O.V
"And then Natsu was going all mean to me, and such, that I had to quit. I'm a damsel in distress, Plue~" I complained to my shaking companion.
"Puuuu-puuuun~~" my cute spirit said in a happy voice. "Gosh! You're so kawaii~ I knew you would understand, Plue~" I said hugging my companion. "I'm a good listener too you know", a familiar voice cried as it echoed through the room. "Loke, you wouldn't understand", I said in a teasing tone.
"But what can that shaking spirit do when all he says is 'Puuu-Puuun~~' I can to a better job, hime!", Loke said with a flashing smile. I just shook my head, giving the poor big kitty dumbfounded look. "By the way, Virgo said that she delivered the letters and returned back to the spirit world... Now can I get a hug?~~~" Loke said. I just shook my head in refusal. "Thank you for your hard work, Loke. Please return to the Spirit world.", I said calmly with a smile.
Loke shivered and lowered his head in defeat. "Very well princess", Loke said before being engulfed by a bright light. I sighed and then collapsed on the bed, still having Plue sit on my lap. I can feel him jumping onto the bed, allowing me to tuck myself in. Slowly, my eyes were closed shut and I fell fast asleep. "Good night, mama, papa", I mumbled as I shuffled around.
Plue still being there by my side just patted my head several times before returning back to his own world.
Lucy refused to step foot into Fairy Tail as she stood in front of it. She could hear the cheering of the guild members as they clapped and whistled to Gajeel's, singing?
She didn't want to remember anything from the recent past. She just stood in front of the doors and placed her head on it. Tears forming, she decided not to cry because of their actions to her, but instead, she was crying because when she just found a family who was willing to accept her, but unfortunately, she had to escape all the pain.
As she was tearing up she had a horrible flashback of something she didn't know. No.. It wasn't a flashback - It was a vision, from the future. "What the heck is happening?", she questioned as she crouched down with pain written all over her face. She was about to pass out until she heard someone calling her name. "Lucy!"
"Thank god, someone knows my name", she painfully smiled as she collapsed on the floor. The flying blue neko who was calling out her name and managed to catch her before she landed face-first to the ground. Using his tail, Happy carried her back to her apartment where he laid her down on the bed. Worried, he got a towel and wet it, then, placed it on her forehead.
Happy was worried about his partner. He kept on flying back and fourth, waiting for Lucy to wake up. Happy was flying until he noticed something missing on her right hand. Slowly, he flew over to her side and examined it closely. He gasped in shock and was about to say something until Lucy got up and covered his mouth. She hushed the surprised cat. Once he was calmed down, she let go of Happy, allowing him to fly into the air.
"Lucy...Where's your pink guild mark?" He asked concerned. Lucy looked away with sad eyes before meeting his again. "I left Fairy Tail in search of power...", she answered with depressed eyes. Lucy quickly got up and looked at the flying cat with a forced smile, "Please Happy... Don't tell anyone about this. No matter how long it takes for them to notice my absence, I want them to realise with no help from anyone at all. Please keep this a secret." Lucy said. Happy looked completely shocked but began tearing up, "Please Lucy. Please don't leave Fairy Tail!", Happy begged Lucy, hugging her tightly. "Don't make it anymore harder for me Happy. Everyone should be worried about you right now, please... Go back to the guild", Lucy said looking away.
Trying not to make it harder, she went out of her apartment and walked to her landlord's house. She knocked on the door, handed in this months payment and said their good byes. All of her heavy furniture was left behind and everything that she needed was all packed. "Good bye, Mangolia, Fairy Tail"
Anonymous P.O.V
I can smell her now as my train stopped at the station. Casually walking out, another scent caught my attention. This time, it was close. I turned around to see two men; one wearing a 'long, black cape reaching down to his feet, with golden edges, a much lighter collar circling his neck, and a prominent, white ribbon hanging down on his chest' (Quoted from Wikia) and had black hair. The other had blonde hair and was wearing a 'blue vest with golden outer edges and inner edges covered by a prominent trimming of gray fur over a short, cream top, leaving his muscular upper abdominal's exposed.' (Quoted from Wikia).
Their scent were familiar... Similar to two people I know. It can't be true, I thought that Dragon Slayers would have the scent of their dragons... Somehow from them, it was a scent of a dragon's blood. The smell of blood smells old. I'm guessing, something happened when they were being raised by their dragons.
I was looking at them, trying to recognize the scent, but somehow, the two boys noticed me instead. They smirked as they walked towards me. Thankfully, I was wearing a hooded cloak to hide my appearance.
"Yo lady, you smell like a dragon. Are you a dragon slayer?", the blonde boy asked with a cocky smile. I backed away slowly, hopping that I wouldn't need to fight. The other boy walked in front of the blonde and raised out his hand, signalling the boy to calm down. The black haired boy seemed cold... emotionless, calm. I shivered from the cold gaze that he was giving me.
"You're not supposed to tackle her with questions, Sting", the boy said with a blank face. Even though he looks cold... He seems to be a calm guy. "Pshh. Manners this, manners that, it ain't my style, Rogue", Sting cussed. "Anyways, are you a dragon slayer?", Sting asked curiously.
Their gaze is as cold as ice. I shook my head, "I was on a solo mission and came across a dragon slayer", I lied then walked away swiftly. Leaving them alone.
"I must find the princess" I mumbled to myself as I walked into the town.
