Lucy's p.o.v

"Okay, first I'm gonna destroy that magic circle that is preventing you from fully awakening your powers." Ren said, "Oh, I should tell you that it might hurt a little bit", he added thoughtfully. His fingers started tracing complicated patterns on my forehead until he finally said a single word…release. At first I just felt a chill down my spine and then it hit me, the pain raced through my entire body. I fell to one knee, I felt my insides breaking, it felt like something was ripping me apart from the inside. I gritted my teeth and clutched tightly at myself.

Ren's p.o.v

I stared at the girl writhing at my feet, she was curling up into a ball now, I saw her jaws clench. I half expected her to crawl up to me and make it stop but she took me by surprise. "I thought you said that it was only going to hurt a LITTLE", she choked while glaring at me with pure hatred. "Oops! My bad", I said sarcastically, my tone obviously pissed her off coz she started cursing me under her breath, and I chuckled clearly amused.

Lucy's p.o.v

The pain started to grow, in fact it was excruciating now. My body jerked and writhed, I screamed and screamed until I felt a pain that was worse than death, I gagged and passed out.

At Fairy Tail

Makarov's p.o.v

Those fools! I'm greatly disappointed in my children for not having faith in my dear child, Lucy. Ah! What's lost is lost forever, can I do nothing for Lucy? I will put my faith in her and believe, believe that even if it's one in a million chance that she will come back to us, back to Fairy Tail. Please…

*Time Skip, two hours later*

Lucy's p.o.v

I struggled to open my eyes, my body felt really light and somehow I got this unshakable confidence. I felt nothing, usually I'd scream and wake up from a nightmare of my so called "friends" from Fairy Tail but this time I woke up with an empty feeling and the desire to kill. I entered the bathroom and passed the mirror, I saw red, wait red? I reeled back to the mirror and stood there shocked. My hair was no longer blond, it took on a beautiful blood red colour, it was now past my waist with a lock of orange blended in my bangs. My eyes were a deep crimson red with a golden shine, my lashes framed my eyes delicately. My angelic smile was now replaced by a lonely, cold and expressionless sigh. I raced out of my room and found Ren, playing around with a stray Kitty who ended up scratching him, I stomped up to him and glowered fiercely, he looked taken aback. At least my glares are scarier now, wait, I shouldn't be saying that, I want my old appearance back! I thought. "What did you do? What happened to my hair?! My eyes, my nose, my mouth, my everything is…DIFFERENT!" I hollered. "Whoa! Chillax, woman. That's just your true appearance after I had gotten rid of the seal that was sealing your powers, in fact you look quite dazzling, much more than before at least.", he said, I stood there and glared at him, Argh! I want to skewer him! How big of an idiot can he get?! I screamed in my head. I was about to argue but he cut in and said, "Come with me, you're going to train starting today, I'll engrave every little tactic into your thick head, you're going to train with her. "Her? Who's Her?" I asked curiously. "Oh, you'll see soon enough" he replied. We were now standing in a huge isolated room, I peered into the darkness and made out a figure, a girl with red hair, red eyes. A girl who closely resembled my main features. Her cold eyes reminded me of how I probably looked when I decided to crush Fairy Tail. "This girl was the previous Queen, she threw away her life to destroy her hated enemy, she is now nothing but a mere dead person who walks to accomplish her final task, to train you and make you the ultimate Night Huntress. I should probably tell you that you'll meet the dragons after you surpass her." Said Ren. "All I need to do is defeat her right?" I growled, After I surpass the previous queen, I'll obtain the power of the dragons, and then all that's left is to control my true power, with all that, Fairy Tail would be defenceless against me. I thought. I'll show them! They'll regret messing with me! I thought. "Bring it on", I smirked. She showed no emotion, she came at me with lightning swiftness, I laughed clearly showing that I was thrilled, I felt an amazing rush in adrenaline, I felt her pure killing intent. I swung my leg into a high kick, she blocked it and then thrust her fist forward, I caught it and gripped it hard, I gripped it hard but not hard enough to shatter it. Tch! Damn! I thought. She stepped and held a vortex of black in her hands and thrust it without hesitation into my stomach. I choked and coughed out blood.

*Time skip, still Lucy's p.o.v*

We've been fighting for nearly nine hour straight already. I have barely hurt her yet but I could feel my power steadily building up. I could feel blood on my cheek where she had struck and cut. My body was all tattered and cut, she continued smirking at me, I knew that she was just toying with me. "What, is that all you got? You really disappoint me, I thought the next generation was meant to be stronger than the previous. You're weak. That's right, just plain weak." She taunted. I felt my blood boil, "I am NOT WEAK!" I roared. I was called weak by Fairy Tail just like that, I refuse to be called weak by another person, I'll show her! "If you're not weak than prove it! Come at me…unless you're too scared. Well, I wouldn't be surprised if you were scared, after all…you're W.E.A.K!" she said emphasising weak. That did it, I let out an astonishing amount of magic force, she tried to attack me but was pushed back by my magic force alone. I smirked, she couldn't touch me. I let my mind and body go with the flow, I let it all out, all of my magic power. A huge black magic circle appeared above her and I saw a black wind tear her body and cut it. She could barely stand now, she looked up and glared at me but the glare turned into a smirk, "You're not bad after all, let's end this fight once and for all", she whispered. I returned her smirk with a chuckle, "All right, let's", I purred. We charged at each other with our bare fists since we were both too injured to use magic power.

Lucy's p.o.v

The girl lay there passed out on the floor, I beat her! I cheered in my head. I panted heavily and choked on my own blood. I could barely see properly, before I knew it, I had passed out exhausted from fighting. I woke up on the back of a dragon, a beautiful Blue dragon, her wings reflected the beautiful and warm light of the sun. So you're finally awake now? Welcome to our world, the dragon's haven my young dragon Queen. I gasped as I listened to her thoughts, wait…Dragon Queen? I thought. No, no she chuckled. We simply call you the dragon Queen simply because you will become the soon -to -be strongest dragonslayer ever she said. Erm… isn't that a little bit too exaggerated? I mused. Well…a little bit I suppose but it is true, you are strong. You will be strong enough to rule our world after you receive some training she said. So what dragon are you? You know, like are you a fire dragon or something like that? I asked curiously. She paused and said with hesitation, I am the heaven's water dragon. But then she added something that made me freeze, You will also see Igneel, Metalicana and Grandeeney. "WHAT!" I said out loud. She chuckled, Yeesh, calm down, we're just going to visit those old fools! You will be trained by us, the dragons of heaven's elements. We shall all train you to be the superior dragonslayer. She said clearly amused. That's right said an unfamiliar voice, I looked around and saw three dragons. "Judging by their colours, I'm guessing that they are Igneel, Metalicana and Grandeeney, right?" I asked the blue dragon that I was riding. Yes! Oh, by the way, call me Silvy. Silvy as in silver as you humans like to call it She said in a bubbly voice. "Kay!" I smiled. Lucy, am I right? "Yes", I replied. I see that you've been hurt by your dear comrades. Especially that fool Natsu, am I right? Mwuahahahahaha! No worries, just beat him up when you see him again and show him what you're made of. I smiled at the thought of beating Natsu but flinched when Igneel mentioned him.

Back at Fairy Tail

Normal p.o.v

It's been more than a week since Lucy has supposedly died. Everyone has grown very sensitive at the subject of Lucy so no one dares to bring it up. The guild has begun moving forward and slowly revert back to their old selves but the guilt and grief still lurked somewhere in their chests.

Natsu's p.o.v

I felt a slipper smack into my head. "Who the hell did that?!" I shouted and stood up so roughly that I caused Erza, who was sitting next to me, to drop her cake. "Noooooooo! My strawberry shortcake!" she said angrily. She punched me and I flew straight into Gray, "what do you want you slanty eyed bastard?", he growled. "Whaddya say you droopy eyed bastard?" I spat back at him. In the end, the whole guild got involved in a fight, I laughed, it was soo long since I last laughed. The guild finally broke the tension and reverted back to it's old rowdy self. "Lucy always hid with Wendy whenever there was a fight" said Gray. I flinched when I heard her name, I didn't want to remember such awful things. "Don't bring her up anymore, Gray", I said flatly. He suddenly grabbed me by the collar and snarled. "Are you suggesting that we forget her as if she never existed?" he said.

Gray's p.o.v

After what we did to Lucy, Natsu is saying that we should forget her. I can't believe that Natsu of all people would say that. After all the pain we put Lucy through, he's saying that we should forget her, isn't that just cruel? I took him by the collar and snarled, he hid his face behind his bangs, I stared at him realising that he was the one suffering the most from the incident but still, saying that we should forget her was just cruel. "Please…please, just let me forget her, I need to", he pleaded. I let go of him surprised coz it was the first time he'd ever pleaded. Before I could hiss at him, he interrupted and said, "I need to forget about her, it hurts too much. I have to." He said as his eyes started to water. I could see that he was hurting by remembering her but I was still angry that he was trying to forget her. "Tch! Do whatever you want", I said lifelessly and walked away.

Natsu's p.o.v

I stood there trying to calm myself as Gray walked away. I knew this was cruel but I just had to forget about Lucy. I tried to walk into the fight and take my mind off of her but I instead, I remembered how she always freaked out whenever someone flew past her and into a wall (which was pretty normal). Why? I thought, Why can't I forget about her? Damn it! I ran out of the guild and broke into her old house half expecting her to kick me out the door and scream. I sniffed the room and caught a faint scent of her. It smelt so familiar. My mouth quivered and I could feel myself getting caught up in the past when we were still a team. I curled up on her sofa and fell asleep while I dreamt of the moment I had pushed her down the cliff. I didn't realise that I was crying…
