A/N: Hi guys! Sorry I haven't uploaded in a while. I could say it was writer's block, but I was just really lazy. Sorry. So, without further ado, here is the next chapter! Enjoy!

Chapter 4

"M-my mother?"

Lucy was in utter shock. How could they know her mother, she died 11 years ago; well, 18 if you count the Tenrou incident.

"How did you know her?" Lucy asked, beginning to be curious.

"She use to work here. Your mother worked in the infirmary with Nygus, and her spirits would help around the school," Lord Death stated, and in a matter-of-fact tone too. "She would bring you in all the time, you would play with Kid all the time."

"B-but how is that possible," Lucy stuttered out, "She died years ago. How could she have worked here? And there is no way that I would have been here; I lived in Magnolia as long as I have known."

"And how long is that?" Stein asked.

"I don't know. Like since I was four, I think, but before that…before that I don't know," Lucy started strong, but ended quietly, as she had figured it could be possible.

"You were four, the last time I saw you. That was only 18 days ago," said Lord Death. The room went silent as all of them absorbed the information.

"No," Lucy gasped, breaking the silence, "I-if you haven't seen me in 18 days, and m-mom died around that time ago, then that means…" Lucy brought her hand up to her mouth, "I have been in this type of situation before—a couple times actually—I think a day here, i-is a year in Magnolia." She spoke at barely a whisper, trying to hold back the tears.

"That would make sense," Lord Death stated solemnly, "Tell me Lucy, how did your mother die?"

"She, uhm, she got really sick, why?" Lucy said, and then asked. She had composed herself the best she could. She could fathom that right now, she had been missing weeks, hell, maybe months, and Fairy Tail had no idea where she was.

"Well," started Lord Death, "When on the day that your last day I saw Layla left, a witch attacked. She wasn't very powerful, but she was still tough to beat. Layla and her spirits were helping attack her, when the witch saw you. You were standing at the entrance to the school. Your mother ran to your aid, and then started to glow. The witch launched an attack on you two, but before it could hit, you guys disappeared. We didn't know what happened, but I'm guessing that your mother used her magic to get you away."

Lucy sat there, absorbing all the information before she spoke, "That could be why she wasn't getting better," she finally said. "Do you mind if I summon one of my spirits to clarify that that was the reason?"

"Not at all," Lord Death said, as he clapped his hands together.

"Okay," she grabbed Capricorn; thinking that he was one of the spirits Mother had already, "Open! Gate of the Goat! Capricorn!" There was a bell sound, and after the smoke cleared, Capricorn stood there with his suit and glasses.

"Hello Miss Lucy," he addressed her, then turned his attention to Lord Death, "And hello Lord Death, long time no see."

"Well for you yes," Lord Death said.

"Uh, Capricorn, you heard the conversation we had, yeah?" Lucy asked him. Capricorn turned around and gave her a little frown. Now she didn't want to know his answer.

"Yes," he paused, "And what Death-sama has said is all true, I'm sorry Miss Lucy," he bowed his head. He then he noticed her leg, "Why don't you let Virgo look at that?"

"Yeah," she breathed out. Capricorn was dismissed and replaced with Virgo. Lucy got her leg fixed up and stood up. She handed the cane to Stein, and returned her attention to Lord Death.

"So, what now?" She asked.

"I'm not sure myself, but we'll figure it out."

Lucy sweat dropped. I hope you guys aren't worrying too much, she thought looking at her guild mark.
