Last two years… Now
So since i left magnolia I've found a new life for myself, it's not the same as the one in magnolia but since i've left, no one has really connected me from the guild, I know they have but they don't really know where I'm living now, since I didn't say my goodbyes to anyone. So since i left i've had a good life, my hair has grown quite a lot, I've changed, i don't really do missions anymore it being back to many bad memories, plus I don't want the guild to find my whereabouts, I've used some of my father's money that he left for me after he passed, missing him quite a bit.
So i'm living on the edge of a small village, that i've been to a couple times, one of them was when i came to live here with my mother and father before my mum passed away, when i was 4 still surprised i remembered it…I work in a small inn or hotel to what others call it, the landlord knows me but i've told her that i'm not looking for special treatment since i told her i don't run with fairy tail anymore, when i said that, it broke my heart, but it looked like she knew i was lying, she's been kind enough to let me have a room here, which is a bonus. My room is on the top floor, it is quite small compared to my other house in magnolia, which I still rent 'my eyebrows twitching think about the money, I send it back to magnolia for the house'. So my little room in this hotel is a cute, little bathroom with a bathtub big enough for two, which is shocking. The bedroom has a large bed, a desk which I was happy about, as well as a nice size wardrobe.
As your reading this i'm walking through the town I now live in, the people here are amazing their so kind and polite, and the moment I'm heading off to get some food for the week with the very little money I earn, but that's what I get for having a house in magnolia 'I laughs to herself'. I've lived here for nearly two years now, and I've met loads of people, but I wouldn't really call them friends or even family, some people I talk to because they know me from fairy tail but more because of my family name. Sometimes i feel like a celebrity depending on the time of the year.
After living here for quite for sometime, I got a weird letter about eleven months ago, from
one of my friends from fairy tail, they've finally found me, but i'm guessing she didn't know where exactly her letter has gone, 'thank god' i decided i wouldn't write back because i wasn't ready to head home yet, wellhead home back to magnolia.
After going out for the day, I had been shopping for food and window shopping for new outfits hoping one day I will get one but I knew I wouldn't be able to afford them. As I walked home with my shopping in her hands, something stopped me in the street, I certain smell, I remembered it, I turned around but no one was there, god i knew it was the time of the year when I was reminded of when I had left magnolia a few years ago, but I shook my head and continued to walk back home, removing the smell from my head because I didn't want to be reminded of those days.
As I entered the hotel my landlady greeted me "hey lucy sorcerer weekly has been delivered this week do you want one" I turn round "yes please, i wonder what the guild has done this week to end up in this" as I shakes the magazine in the air, and smiles towards me landlady and walks upstairs.
As I reached my room, I stopped "something doesn't feel right, why?" I opened the door but nothing seemed to be different. As I walked into my room, I close the door "it's good to be home after the day I've had" I puts my shopping in my little kitchen " what to have for dinner" I pull different types of food out of my bag and lays it on the table, "hmmm" I held my chin in my hand "i can make spaghetti Bolognese" I thinks to herself, " it would be a change to all those takeaways I've had". I began to cook my dinner.
After I had finished my dinner I decided it's time to tell my mother how I've been and what has been going on in my life since the last time I wrote to her.
I grabbed my papers and sat at my desk, and begins writing… 'dear mum,
''So it's been a few years since I left with no goodbye to my family at fairy tail, it's been quite hard leaving them without saying anything. After natsu left i didn't have a purpose being there missing him, before I left, everyone in the guild stayed united after zeref's monsters attack us, however after i left the guild one day, I got home and found a letter from natsu and happy, saying there were going on a long mission to improve their magic, but I wanted to go but they left me, why?.' As I start to cry while writing to my mother, the last few months my last letter has been about natsu. I stopped writing so I could cry, missing the man I loved, the man who told me he loved her and would want to spend their life together.
After I finished the letter to my mother, I decided to read sorcerer weekly so I could see what fairy tail had been up to this week, but nothing? "Had they gone quiet or something" I sat there questioning the magazine, not even Mirajane was in the pictures any more. I decided to take a bath to comfort my disappointment from not seeing them for the 20th time in the last couple of weeks. I sat in my new bathtub at work, I lived in the hotel I worked at, since it wasn't that far to go and it was cheaper living there than anywhere else.
As I layed in the bath I remembered how natsu confessed his love to her and how I confessed to him it was just as natsu finished one of Zeref's monsters that he told me. Natsu came up to her and hugged her tightly and said "Lucy I lo..lov..love y..you" and with that he kissed her passionately, I kissed back knowing the love he put to that kiss, I suddenly woke up from her daydream, I realised I wasn't with him and he wasn't kissing her, I started to cry, I draws her knees up to hug them and sat there crying away.
Remembering the guild hurt me, but remembering him killed me, my heart would ache for days, he was the love of my life, best friend, first friend even though he annoyed me, I hated missing him, if only he would come back and take me to my real home back in magnolia, back to fairy tail, to where erza, gray, juvia, Wendy, levy, gajeel, mira and the rest of the gang were, but somewhere in my gut I realised that wouldn't be happening, because it only happened in fairytales, and I knew natsu wasn't my prince and I wasn't the princess being trapped by the big bad monster in the big castle.
After I stopped crying I decided to get out of the bathtub and head off to bed, as I left the bathroom I imagined happy and natsu were out on the couch eating her food but it was only when they had disappeared she realised her mind was playing games with her. As she sits on her bed she looked over at her dresser and saw the letter that natsu left before he went, she kept it so she doesn't forget how much he meant to her. She grabs the letter and pulls it out of the envelope and she decides to not let herself cry as she begins to read it.
'my dear Lucy, I love you so much, and it is hard for me to write this knowing you'll be home soon as well as how broken you'll be when you read this, but I'm leaving magnolia for sometime and I don't know when I'll be back, but I promise to always protect you will all my will, i love you my dear Lucy, natsu xx'
as I read it I heard my heart break, knowing it can't break anymore, I can't stop the tear leaving my eye, the only tear, I put the letter in it envelope and back on the dresser. I get changed into my pajamas to get into bed and as my head hits the pillow I drifted off to sleep.
Times have changed since she left magnolia, she misses her family so much, but is someone out there hearing her wish to be back home. Maybe wishes do come to those who wish hard enough.
