Lucy,

Hi Lucy. I know you're probably pissed at the fact that I haven't written to you in all the weeks you've been missing. What the hell am I saying? You probably won't ever get these anyways. I want you to know that I hate you. I want to hate you at least.

No, I don't want to hate you. You're my nakama, I can never hate you. That and you're one of my best friends. But why, Lucy? Why did you have to leave like Ur and Ultear? Like my father? Wasn't it you who told me that the guild would always be there for me? So then why did you leave, or disappear or whatever people are calling it?

I hate saying this, especially around Flamebrain who is still torn over you, but I think that you're dead. As much as I don't want it to be true, it's the only conclusion I can think of. How else could Ass Flam lose you scent so easily? No one in the country has seen you, and we can't even sense your magic anymore.

Or did you leave us on purpose? Did you go to a different country to escape us? If you did, why? I thought we were family! I thought you loved Natsu! I thought you swore you'd protect him and always be there for him! So then why are you gone? Celestial mages don't break their promises.

With all these thoughts in my head, it's hard for me to stay happy and try to cheer everyone up when I keep coming to the idea that you might be dead. How can I be happy if my little sister is dead? I know that we're not blood related but you're still my little sister.

If you are alive and just ran away, I want you to think about Natsu. I want you to think about how much he's hurting. Hell, the idiot even confessed his love to you in a letter. Granted, he crossed it out, but we can still see it clearly! He loves you , and you love him. He should really hid them if he doesn't want us to read them though. Honestly, he must have ash for brains.

So if you're not dead Lucy, and please don't be dead, come home to us and to Flame Brain. We all miss you.

Gray F.


Did Lucy die? Or did she run away? What if there is a different reason?

Maybe we'll find out in Natsu's letter.
