Hey sorry for the late update, been a buys week anyways I'm gonna do a double update for you! Hope you like it. I do not own any characters in this story other than the ones I made up! Sorry for any spelling or grammar issues I'm a fail with that area :)
Masters POV
It breaks my heart, seeing my dear children crying over their loss. But we must remember that she said she would try and return.
"My children, please I know that you are sad. But remembers she said she would try to return and if we know Lucy she will come back to us." It's hard trying not to shed tears in front of them; I can see the way they look at me. They know I'm sad like them but what else can I do.
"Maters right. Lucy-san will come back she loves us too much not too" ah Wendy sweet little Wendy brave against the odds.
"Yea, plus would Bunny-girl want us all upset over her? No she wouldn't. Now master what's this 'gift' she left for us all?"
Ah yes, I tried to open it before they got here but she must have put some spell on it to open only to the presence of all out magic's. She must be very powerful, not many mages are capable of doing this high level spell. But then again she isn't an ordinary mage, I wonder how she is it's only been a few short hours. Lucy please be safe.
"Master?" I look to the voice and see Levi, her eyes red from the tears, breath harsh "P…Please, tell us why she left. There must be a reason, Lu-chan wouldn't leave so easy she love us. S…She's special" walking over to her I place my hand on her lap to show that there is a reason. Oh my dear Levi, I see the heart break we share, her orange dress crumped in her hands and tear stained.
"Yes, Levi I know that she is. More than ever, I have her gift for us here. It's her book, but only we can read it." Passing the book into Levi's hands the small golden heart seal glows a pale blue as the book turns itself to ifs first page. To my surprise there's a painting of us there with smile that now seem lost to her departure and a small inscription. This says 'To my loving family, I leave this book with you. In it is a story which the ending you will be surprised. Forgive me for leaving you, I never wished to cause you pain. All my love Lucy or should I say Luciana'
"Luciana? I don't get it. Shrimp what does she mean by calling herself that name?" hmm so this was her real name, I'm not surprised that her name was different from what we knew but… why does Gazzille look shocked to hear that name.
"Gazille, I don't know, maybe it's her name she was called by her father and didn't want anyone to know. Oh Lucy how could you think that you've hurt us!" I watched as her tears fell once again, I turn my attention to Wendy who also seems shocked by Lucy's name, almost in a state of disbelief about it.
"Wendy, Gazille. Tell me why you look show shocked about Lucy's name. Surely it's just a name and nothing more." I look to Wendy who seems unable to give an answer, as a single tear falls down her already damp check. Then Gazille, he was stern and composed as he was ready to answer my questions.
Gazilles POV
I was shocked; I looked to Wendy and saw that she was unable to give an answer about that name. I cleared my throat took a breath and began to explain the reason for our behaviour.
"Master, I speak for myself here but when I was training with Metalica he taught me about all different kinds of dragons. Including those of great importance."
Wendy places her hand on my side and speaks "Gradinay, also thought me about the dragons. I guess that if Natsu were to hear that name he would react the same." Returning to where I finished I continued to explain.
"Well, as I was saying we were taught the there was one dragon what was very important and special. This dragon was called Luciana, she was the offspring of the two most powerful dragons there was. We were told if we ever found her at all she needs to be protected from harm. The destiny of this dragon was untold. But we knew that if ever we did meet her that she would be treated with the greatest respect and cared for and keep harm away as much as possible."
Wendy's POV
I thought to myself as Gazille spoke, how Lucy-san could know this name only the dragon slayers knew of this name of course along with the dragons. Once gazelle finally finished his explanation I look to master's face. He looks pained, but not surprised. Surely he should be shocked at what was being suggested here, unless.
Levi's POV
"Master, you know already don't you? The secret that Lu-chan was talking about" I waited for his response, he didn't give one. Not that it was needed in reality we already knew. Can Lu-chan really be this Luciana that Wendy and Gazille spoke about? Why wouldn't Lu-can tell the dragon slayers about this if it were true. She might have known where their dragons were.
Hang on, why do I feel angry about this. It's not her fault even if this is all true, Lu-can hides secrets to protect people but I still can't understand why, maybe that's why she left her book with us. A clue to her true self, how could she carry all this on her own? I'm so sorry Lu-chan that I didn't see your pain; I wish I could have helped you. One of my stray tears falls onto the book, bound together with golden thread and crisp white pages.
To everyone's shock including my own as the tear fell onto the book the room went dark, and all that could be seen was a projections from the book. We all held out breath as in the projection Lu-chans face appeared, with her bright smile and glowing brown eyes they held tears in the corners.
"Hey guys, since you're seeing this it mean that I've left Fairy Tail. I have a message for each of you but please don't be sad, be happy with your lives, I'm sure our paths will cross again." The project turns to face the master as if she's in the room and knows where we are.
"My dear master, you who know my secret and have keep it. I'm very thankful and grateful for your help. I sincerely mean it when I say that I shall miss you. You were the second father to me, the one I would have hoped to have after my mother's death, but we both know that this isn't possible. I have a second gift for you all." Out of now where a small glow a yellow appears in the room and floats over to master, with a small pop noise into his hands there is a necklace with an intricate charm. He smiles knowing the gift is more than it appears. Next Lu-chan turns to Wendy.
"My dear sweet Wendy. My little sister, you have a great heart which is full of love to give. Your dragons choose well in her student and daughter. I know it hurts now but pain will fade and in place of our lose there is gain of a better tomorrow. You know this already when you lost your former guild and family not once but twice. My gift to you" this time a pale blue glow appears, as Wendy reaches out to the object it pops again. In her hand now is a set of bottles filled with rear herd for medicine and a book with beautiful dragon illustrations on it. Lu-cans attention turns to the exceeds.
"Hey, Happy my special little guy. I'm sorry for leaving without saying. I know this is hurting you so very much. Promise me you won't tell Natsu, I hope you're not mad at me okay? Happy I left your gift in my apartment, it's the rarest fish there is I know how much you like them. I'll miss you, you little neko."
"L..Lucy" poor happy
"Lilly, look after everyone for me. I may not have known you for very long but I will still miss you so very much. I leave you in charge of Gazille to make sure he doesn't hurt Levi-chan, although I know he won't." Lilly just looks at me and I feel a blush crossing my face, I look to gazelle who's face responds the same as mine I can't help but giggle while he hides his face. A white light appears next to lily as he holds out his hand and grabs onto the object turning into a new weapon for him.
"Carla, I know you saw this happening. All I can say is thank you for not saying anything. Don't worry about Wendy she's strong. My little friend behind your outer shell I know that you care for him very much, just give a little and you'll gain a lot. I hope you like your gift." This time is was a soft pink glow that appeared next to the female exceed, when the little bubble like object popped, out came a charm bracelet, with four charms on each contain different magical properties to symbolise what Carala hold close to her heart. I look at her face she looks sad as a tears appear in her eyes. Now Lucy turns to Gazille.
"Gazille, I mean what I said in that letter. A girl can't wait forever, even if you are destined to be with her. I know that deep down you are just the tiniest bit sad about my leaving, don't bother trying to figure it out I just know. Take care of her Gazille, keep her happy" a sliver light appears next to Gazille as he looks shock and somewhat amused but Lucy's message he looks at the gift. It's not what I expected, how on earth could she get that. We all looked at the gift, which was a scale from his father Metalica. I look into his eyes, as a tear appears. Finally it's my turn now, oh Lucy please don't be sad.
"Levi-chan, I don't know what to say other than I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry. I've hurt you all by leaving. Please forgive me although I do not deserve it. You can guess that I left because of my secret, and if none have you have noticed it by now from my clues I've left I'll say it straight out to you levy-chan my sister. I'm not human, my names is both Lucy and Luciana. The dragon slayers know my true self but only as a being they've never seen or met. I'm a dragon guys, I'm sorry I lied I had to protect my father, myself and the guild, but the one who I needed to protect most is Natsu. Remember this although it may be raining now" I look outside and see the rain fall, how could she "the sun will shine again" as she spoke the sun shone brighter than ever. An orange glow appears next to me, revealing a picture frame with me and Lu-can in, and the original manuscript of my favourite book and a small charm.
"W..What Lu-chans a dragon the one you was all talking about. How? Why would she need to protect Natsu the most?" I look around to Gazille whose face paled after hearing that Lucy was Luciana but there was more. His eye's filled with anger.
"That dense, fucking idiot. I knew that she meant more to him than normal person. I should have projected her more, found out sooner and made the basted realised. Fuck even I knew before he did. How can he do this to her!" he scream out in the room as the anger filled not only his heart but Wendy's too as she gave a look of hate.
"G..Gazille, what wrong what do you mean?" I knew Lu-chan loved Natsu but why is Wendy and Gazille so angry with this.
"That fool, she's his mate. His one and only, and he hurt her. Lucy-san, I could never imagine the pain your holding watching him day after day. Lucy-san is Natsu's mate and Natsu is Lucy-san's" Wendy, she never gets angry with people I'm shocked. Those two were meant to be together it must have been killing her knowing her true love was cold and left her.
Master POV
My children all so angry, I wish I could help them but I cannot lie that I'm not angry also at what they've done to her. Before any of us could speak the projection cried, wait did this mean that it wasn't a recording but she was talking to us right now.
"Please, Please s..stop. don't hurt him, I couldn't bear it. Yes he hurt me but never ever hurt him for me." Oh my dear Lucy, you are so strong and brave watching us.
"Lu-chan, are you talking to us right now?" asked a shocked Levi.
"Yes, I am. The moment your tears touch my book I felt a pain in my heart. The pain I caused you all, I needed to do something to make the tears end. Forgive me everyone!" the project image had changed the once, happy smiling child now an emotional wreck stricken with pain as she feels the heart break of her family.
"Everyone, I can't say any more about why I left to you. But to find out all read my book and you will understand. You know what I am and my real name, but the rest that you need to know is in this gift. Please try not tell the others I've left, and if they notice me gone then try not be angry. I..I love you all so much, look af..fter each other." The room returned to normal, everyone had tears in their eyes as the final good bye from their friend. Levi holds the book and places on my desk. We all watch her walk with the book, she turns as her tears stop.
"Come on now, Lu-chan wanted us to read her book. Let's not let her down." We all nodded and headed to the book as I took it into my lap and read aloud.
As I spoke, I looked to my children as their faces shift with each moment in this book. She writes about her mother and father, her life with us, and her secrets. As I finished her book, we all sigh and look to each other.
"Master, what now? How can we hide the fact she's gone." Levi spoke
"I know it will be hard for us, but it's what she wanted let it be" I told her, what else could I say to calm them. I reach out to touch her shoulder only to stop as I hear the thump of not just Gazille but Wendy's feet.
They spoke out in unison, "No!"
"I'm sorry master, but I will not pretend. She may have asked us not to be angry with them all but I must be. I promised Metalic I would help her if I ever found her! I will punish them myself" Gazille, I wish I could stop you, I hold onto Levi as she tries to get up to calm the dragon slayers knowing that she can't stop them.
"I agree with Gazillie-san, they must be punished. They hurt her so much I could see it in her eyes. She left to protect us all from her pain, I can't let them get away with this." I wish I could stop them but all I can do is watch. As they burst the doors to my office open and give glares to the whole guild, with anger, pain, and hate. I didn't know how much this would affect them if I did I would have stopped her myself.
Elsewhere in the Guild Natsu's POV
Why do I feel like there's something missing, something important? My heart it feels empty why?
I wonder what those guys are doing in master office they've been there for a while now, usually I can hear everything in the guild thanks to my dragon senses but I can't strange. A few moments later I look over to master's office, as I hear the angered footsteps of Gazille followed close by Wendy. Hang on Wendy, sweet little Wendy is angry at something this is not normal. They stop just at the top of the stairs and look down at every one glaring, with such anger, pain, and most of all hurt. No one else seems to notice them there; I best ask what's wrong.
"Oi, metal head, Wendy what's wrong?" I shouted to them gaining the attention of the whole guild as they look over to the two dragon slayers. They don't respond, they just stare as I look closer to Wendy her fists a clenched as she holds onto her dress and Gazille just stares, his eyes slightly red. Has he been crying? Before I could comment I see the others leave masters office. Straight away I notices Happy, his eyes filled with tears, as Carala places her paw on his back.
I notice that the Wendy and Gazille have now come down the stars and started to walk over to me and the others. They both looked anger and upset, but why? Before I could question them everything seemed to be in a blur. I felt a hash sting across my face; I knew that someone had punched me across the face. I here everyone gasp, as I look and am too surprised to see Wendy! And then I feel a pain in my gut knowing that this time it was Gazille who had punched me. Myself and the other guild members were about to question what the hell were they doing but we all stopped hearing the small whimpers looking to its source it pained me as well as the others.
"N...Natus, w...why?"
"Happy, what's wrong? Tell me little guy" master stepped forwards and looked to us all, he was sad too, what's going on?
