~Onto the story~
~Nastu's POV~

I stare at the letter in my hand. I look at Lissana who had already handed Gray the rest and opened her letter.

"Meh." I shrug and open the letter.

'I'm glad that Erza taught me to read.' I think as I glance at the letter before reading it.

Dear Nastu,

You know, it's funny.
I trusted you.
You promised me.
So why?
Why did you do it?
Why did you lie to me?
Why did you betray?
What did I do to deserve this?
What did I do to be hated like this?
I loved you Nastu.
I trusted you Nastu.
And what did you do?
You played me.
You broke me.
You lead me on to believe that there was a man in my life that really cared for me.
I don't have anything more to say to you except
I hate you.
I hate you,
Nastu Dragneel
And I don't ever want you near me again.
Because you will do the same thing again.

~Lucy

"Tch that wea-"

Lucy

I stop mid-sentence as that name rung through my head.

"Nastu?" Erza questions. "Are you OK?"

Lucy

My grin falters as I remember so of the happier memories.

Lucy

I clutch my head in pain as the memories keep coming faster and faster giving me a spliting headache.

Lucy

Lucy

LuCy

I start hearing a waterfall-like sound aa the memories stop and the name gets louder and louder.

LuCY

"GGAAAHHHHHH!" I howl as I drop to my knees.

LuCY

LuCY

LUCY

'CRACK'

'Lucy, I'm sorry' I think as darkness envelopes my vision and I fall unconscious.

~Erza's POV~

I open my letter after Nastu with a sense of dread inside of me. 'Look at me, scared by a letter from a weakling.'
I think as a bead of sweat rolls down my face.

Dear Erza,

You know,
I understand why you did it.
I mean, Why would the mighty Titaniaassociate herself with a weaking like me?
I don't know what sick joke you thought of when you decided to pretend to be my friend and sister but I'm sick of it.
Haha...
The irony of it.
I'm sick of a sick joke.
A joke that was played on me.
I feel as if I should hate you.
But I don't.
I still love you as my older sister.
An older sister who loves wearing armor. And not to mention strawberry cake.
When I come back,
If I come back
I want you to stab a sword into the ground.
That's if you care.
It will tell me if you care and you do care.
It will tell me that you feel guilty.
Like I feel guilty of joining this guild as a weaking.

~Your little sister,
Lucy

"Tch that wea-" Nastu started but stopped with a look of confusion on his face.

"Nastu?" I start as his grin falters. "Are you OK?"

He then started clutching his head with his eyes closed while muttering uncomprehendable things.

"Nastu, I said are you-"

Lucy

'Wha-' I think only to be cut off.

Your little sister, Lucy

'What is this?'

Lucy

'I don't care for her!'

Your little sister, Lucy

'I don't'

YoUr LiTtLe SisTeR, LucY

"GGAAAHHHHHH!" I hear Nastu shout faintly as the sound is overpowered with a constant noise of a sword being dragged across stone.

YOUr LiTtLe SisTeR, LuCY

I lean up against the wall and hold my head while whimpering in pain.

'THUD'

I faintly hear the sound of something dropping to the floor but I couldn't tell due to all the sounds ringing in my ears.

YOUR LItTle SiSTeR, LUCY

"But I don't," I whimper put loud as I slide down the wall in a curled position and the noise gets louder.

YOUR LITTLE SISTER, LUCY

'CRACK'

'Lucy, why did I do it?' Was my last thought as my body relaxed and I fell into a pit of darkness that is unconsciousness.

~Gray's POV~

I look at the three who opened their letters. They all seemed to be having different feelings and triggers. I look at my hands and sigh. 'I still don't know why we did it' I think as Flame Brain finishes his letter.

"Tch that wea-" he starts only to stop suddenly.

I raise my eyebrow in question as I stand.

"Nastu?" Erza questions. "Are you OK?"

'Hmmm...' I think.

"Nastu, I said are you-" Erza repeats only to suddenly stop like Nastu.

'Her too?' I look to Lissana for help only to see her sitting with her knees pulled to her chest.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." She kept muttering while crying.

"GGAAAHHHHHH!" Nastu howls as he falls to his knees.

"What's going on?! Nastu answer me!" I shout at him only to get no response.

Erza leaned up against the wall while whimpering in pain.

"Lissana get it together! What are you sorry for?" I ask, pulling her off the floor.

"It's all my fault!" she wailed loudly.

'THUD'

I turn to see Nastu sprawled on the floor unconscious.

"LISSANA!" I shout feeling overwhelmed.

"But I don't," I hear Erza whimper.

"IT WAS MY FAULT!" Lissana finally shouts while looking me in the eye. "I DID IT! I MADE THE POTION!"

I take a step back in surprise.

"What potion?" I ask upset.

Lissana wiped her eyes and looked back up.

"I-i made a p-potion. A h-hate potion. And I made it to t-t-target L-lucy." Lissana stutters. "I-it was because I..." she trailed off.

'It was her fault!' I think in anger.

"...I was jealous. She had gotten close to Nastu and everyone else in the guild and it was like she replaced me. I just wanted to take my spot ba-"

I interrupt her in anger.

"SHE DIDN'T TAKE YOUR STUPID SPOT SHE HELPED US MOVE ON AND REALIZE YOU WERE STILL IN OUR HEARTS! SHE CREATED A SPOT FOR HERSELF TO FILL AND NO ONE COULD BE LIKE HER!" I shout at her.

I take a deep breath as she starts tearing up again.

"I-i didn't r-realize t-that u-until s-she left. I-i d-didn't h-have a w-way to r-reverse the p-potion. I t-think t-the letters, w-whatever s-she wrote broke t-the s-spell." she admits while finding her feet more interesting.

"So..." I start, my bangs covering my eyes as I look down. "All of the pain we caused her, all the heartbreaks, it was because of you petty jealousy?"

I hear Lissana gasp in shock before she sighed.

"When you put it that way it makes it sound even worse but yes, because that's the only way to come even close to the truth. " she finally says.

I look at Nastu, who is sprawled on the floor, and Erza, who is curled agaist the wall, but also unconscious.

"We'll finish this later help me take them to the guild." I growl, walking over to Nastu and picking him up with his arm over my shoulder. "Grab Erza and let's go."

"O-ok..." Lissana says behind me and I hear armor clacking and grunting before she appears beside me while carrying Erza in the same manner that I'm carrying Nastu.

We both stumbled out the door and out of the street.

"L-luce...n-no.." I hear Nastu mutter as I carried him.

"Wait up Gray, I can't keep up!" Lissana says a few steps behind me.

I sigh and stop until she is in front of me before I continued to walk. we finally made it to the guild and I kick the doors open.

"Where's Wendy?!" I shout as all eyes turn to Lissana and I and some members gasp in shock.

"what happened to Nastu and Erza?" Cana questions.

"I'll answer that later but where's Wendy?!" I snap at her.

I hear the door open and I turn around to see the group that had left earlier walk in.

"What is the meaning of this?" Gramps inquires as he noticed the burdens that Lissana and I had.

"S-she'-" Lissana starts only to stop while Nastu had tears running down his face even though he was still knocked out. "N-nastu?"

"Don't...stop don't leave me." He cried out.

"Nastu snap out of it," I growled as I took him to the infirmary.

All of a sudden he burst into flames and I was blown back. He hit the floor with a dull thud while I crashed into the bar.

"ACK!" I cry as I coughed up some blood from the impact.

"GRAY!" Wendy shouted as she ran towards me.

"I'm fine," I groan as I stood up and walked back to Nastu, who was crumpled on the floor while steaming. (Me: This dude is a flipin furnace!)

I picked him back up while using some of my magic to not get burnt and carried him to the infirmary. Lissana had already brought Erza in there and headed back into the hall.

"What's wrong with them?" I asked Wendy as she moved about the room getting different things.

"There's fragments of a spell that's disappearing as they stay unconscious and there's no harm being done to them but I need a fragment so I can tell what is in it and who cast it." she replied.

"There's no need for that." I say as I turn to head out the door.

"Why?" she asks, running up to me.

"I'll explain to everyone at once. Come on if there's nothing else wrong with them." I say as I walk out and head over to Lissana.

"I think you should tell everyone what you did, Lissana." I say when I reach her.

"Yes I think someone should explain right now." Gramps says as he drinks a cup of coffee on top of the bar counter.

Everyone gathered around the table Lissana sat at and waited for her to start.

"All of it," she began, "Was my fault. It was because I was jealous that I... I took a strange recipe from a cloaked figure and used it on the guild. It made everyone hate Lucy and I-i regret it. I was so stupid..." she trailed off in tears.

"Gray how do you know all of this?" Gramps asks as he notices my poker face.

"Because," I start out with a sigh, "The spell broke for me the day after Lissana's birthday party when I went to Lucy's apartment for something and ended up reading a letter she wrote for me. Those two read a letter from her and then collapsed afterwards. Based on what Nastu was muttering I'm guessing the spell broke for those two."

"And what about everyone else?" he inquires.

"T-they're all ether s-still under the spell or was n-never infected by it. I-i think that something from the person that s-spoke the truth on w-what the f-felt while their l-loved ones hated t-them i-is what b-breaks it." Lissana answers.

"This is all your fault!" Happy shouted from his spot ot a table.

He had tears streaming down his face as he pointed his paw (Me: aww so cute!) towards her.

"You forced Lushie away!" He continued then flew to Wendy, who was also crying, and cried in her arms.

"I-i know. And I r-regret if so much that I-i wish that I could apologize to her! She left a letter for the guild and a book for Levy that's dedicated to the whole guild." she said as she handed said things to the master.

"Lissana we will talk about your punishment later but I'll read this letter that Lucy left for you all." He declared as he stepped onto the stage and started reading.

As he read out the letter the guild members all started dropping to the ground unconsious until he had finished and only the group that had left earlier, Lissana, and I were left standing.

"They'll be up again in the morning." I tell everyone. "At least I was,"

I walk over to the request board and pick out a mission to a city that I hadn't checked for.

"I'm going on this one." I say as I head towards Mira.

"Why have you been going on so many solo missions these past two years, Gray?" Mira asks me as she stamped it.

"Because I've been looking for Lucy since the spell broke and I'm not stopping now. I'm bringing back my little sister." I reply as I head out the door leaving everyone speechless.
