It had taken a while but I had regained my knowledge of Fairy Tail and the Guild Members. Since I was in another dimension for 7 years it makes it rather hard to remember more than the basics. I had a one interesting encounter, my encounter with Laxus. When I had told him about my lost memories, he had acted with indifference and said nothing on the topic. I believe he saw through my lie but, thankfully decided not to voice his accusation.
As the Fairy Guild returned to its boisterous attitude not a single member connected the changes in my personality to the infernal clock device that sent me to that other dimension. I knew that if I wanted to keep my secret truly safe I should continue to be Lucy Heartfillia but I cannot return to what I was. I have seen too much of the world to go back to my innocent state. While I lived in that other dimension Lucy Heartfillia died, and, from the blood and ashes I was created. I did change in the eyes of the Fairy Tail guild members. My kind nature turned to indifference. My silly and fun attitude was replaced by a serious intensity. Most of all I remember when Levy told me that," Lucy, I don't know when but you have changed. You never talk much any more. You don't laugh. You never become angry. You don't show any emotion. What is wrong? Please tell me." I gave her some mush and pretend emotions to make sure that she did not pry. She seemed happy after I came up with some mundane excuse. She gave me a hug and left.
That was over 6 months ago. I have been searching for my cadre for 6 months and found naught but rumors. I could still hear them when I slept. I heard their wailing and felt their pain. After 3 months I had told team Natsu that I could no longer be apart of the team and that I needed to get stronger so that I would not be a burden to them. The entire team objected to my resignation. I even knew that when I was Lucy Hearfillia I was not a burden to the team rather I brought something other than strength to the team. But this was the best excuse I could come up with.
I needed to leave the team. When they accompanied me I could not do things the way I normally would. My methods were not exactly kind. I did what needed to be done and I did it in the most straight forward way. If someone had information I needed they would lose their fingers and toes. If someone was a pain they disappeared. I could not use my cut-throat methods when Fairy Tail members were around. They would prevent me from using them. Hence, I need to be able to look for my cadre without any burdens. It has been over 6 months, rumors of my cadre were a poor substitute of comfort but still, it was all I had.

"It is almost time for the grand magic games. I am fired up!" said Natsu. Erza said with a pleasant demeanor," Yes Fairy Tail will surly become number one." Erza gave a dejected almost angry glance in Lucy Heartfillia's direction as she said," I can't believe that Lucy would turn down being in the Grand Magic Games. It really disappoints me that she would not help fight for her guild to rise." An angry looking Ice Make Mage responded," I can't believe she left the team!" Happy said," Now, now Grey Lucy has her reasons." Erza said," She does but they are poor ones at that." Natsu, Grey, and Happy both nodded their agreement.
Next up the Grand Magic Games! Will Lucy find her cadre?
