So guys this is a a short chapter. Like...A really short one.

I apologize. But dont worry after a couple more chapters or so they get pretty long. So bear with me!

I write first and edit later, and I changed so much. Some things just didn't work.

Sorry again. Anyway.

Enjoy.

I do not own Fairy Tail.

The Next Day

Lucy inhaled the brisk air making her lungs burn. unable to breath through her stuffy nose she pulled Natsu's scarf down beneath her lips. She had forgotten to put chapstick on before she left, and her mouth was now dry and cracked with irritation. Lucy licked her lips, knowing full well it would only make it worse.

She'd been walking for a while now, but she didn't know exactly how long. Levy's words made her agitated. She couldn't sit still with her anger.

It was preposterous! Giving up on Natsu that is. How could she do that to him? He would never do it if it was her, he never stop looking, and he wouldn't lose faith. How cruel was she to even suggest such a thing.

But Erza and Gray had obviously sent her. She did say "we". So did that mean they were both ready to let Natsu go? But he was family, how could they? Nakama was the most important thing to Fairy Tail, yet here they were betraying one of its members.

The chill that ran through her wasn't because of the cold wind dancing across her cheeks. She began to feel even more alone. Lucy didn't even think that was possible, but now she was alone in her hope. Her teammates, her guild-mates...were giving up on family. Lucy never thought she'd see the day.

She grit her teeth, and balled her fists in unison. She couldn't let out enough anger. Lucy just wanted to punch something.

They couldn't do this! They couldn't Leave him! He never left them! When Erza was sacrificing herself to Etheron, Natsu pulled her out. Gray was about to kill himself too. He was going to use ice shell, but Natsu stopped him. He saved romeo's father, and even beat up Gajeel after hurting Levy and tying her to that tree. Countless other times, with countless other people!

He saved so many of them. They just couldn't do this!

Lucy knew deep inside her heart that these bad thoughts about her partners were wrong. They didn't want to give up, and they didn't want to leave him. They felt the same way, Lucy feelings were just erratic. They were acting more mature than she was. Lucy was having a fit like a child would. But the blonde still couldn't stop these bitter feelings. The poisonous emotion pulsed through her like they were attached to her blood.

Lucy sniffled and wiped her chilled tears. She should stop crying, it wouldn't do anything. It wouldn't bring Natsu or Happy back. But even as Lucy thought this, her crying got worse, and she didn't actually care if she did.

The celestial mage was tired; tired of coming up with nothing. Looking and failing. If Natsu was even still alive...

Lucy lifted her hand and physically smacked herself.

"Ow." She rubbed her red cheek. "Well its my own fault for thinking that."

She couldn't think Natsu was dead, that wouldn't only bring her hope down even more. Lucy couldn't afford that. They were alive. she would find them. Happy and Natsu would come home.

"They aren't dead." Lucy closed her brown eyes, and clasped her hands together. "They aren't dead." she repeated.

"They're NOT dead!" She bit her lip, and cringed against her own screaming voice.

And then that's when she heard it. It made her heart thump in her chest painfully. It was barely audible as the wind carried it to her ears. But there was no mistaking it. It was a voice. A voice she hadn't heard in a long time, but also a voice that she wouldn't forget even in death. The voice that belonged to a little blue exceed.

"LUUSSHHHII!"

Cliffhanger!

Eh...Not really

Sorry for the short chapter. Again I changed a lot of things.
