A/N: Hello!~

TRIGGER WARNING: Mentions and scenes of suicide. You've been warned!

Please enjoy?

Everybody sat in the guild in utter silence, stunned by what the revelation that was revealed heard from Team Natsu. So many questions swirled in their minds as the time clicked by. They had never expected it to be coming it from such a cheery enthusiastic girl. They had never expected if for Lucy to do something like this.

It was another ordinary day at the guild, and Erza sat a table, reliving her talk with Lucy's father.

...

~Flashback~

Something about him made Erza suspicious as they continued to talk. The way he had talked, and the way he had felt and looked apologetic, she couldn't help but be concerned and suspicious.

After Lucy's father had left, Erza decided to walk in Lucy's house, or breaking in, as Lucy would like to say, and talk to her. But she was nowhere to be found. She stood near a wall, rethinking on some stuff, and opting to wait for the blonde to come back. It wasn't long until she heard noises of a door opening and closing.

Erza remained frozen and mute until she sees a familiar blonde walking into the room and walked to her bed, slumping face first onto the bed, laying their limp and still.

Couple seconds later, after seeing that Lucy wasn't moving anytime soon, Erza moved to stand in front of the bed, and observed condition of the blonde. She looked so pale and weak. Erza frowned as she had many questions she wanted to ask. But she knows that Lucy needed to sleep, seeing that the behavior of the mage had been questionable. She planned on asking her tomorrow to make sure that nothing was wrong and that she's okay.

She eyes the desk and walk to it and pulled out a piece of paper and started writing something on it. After she finished, she placed it on the table next to Lucy's bed and placed another piece of paper that Lucy's father had given her next to the note.

"I will always be here, Lucy. Fairy Tail will be there for you." Erza whispered before leaving the apartment with much more uncertainty than before. She'll need to talk to Lucy to clear her uncertainties. Why does she have a bad feeling about this?

The next day, Erza sat with Natsu and Gray, whilst keeping them from fighting each other. She didn't tell them about what happened last night. Not yet. She need to talk to Lucy first.

It was 8:43 A.M and Lucy had not yet entered the guild yet. This was usually the time that Lucy usually comes, but the blonde mage had yet to enter, to which Erza grew restless.

"Where's Lucy? I want to go on a job with her." Natsu mumbled, his head on the table.

"Maybe he gotten eaten by a fish?" Happy offered, while eating his own fish.

Natsu looked at Happy. "That could happen…"

Gray grew a tick and hit Natsu in the head. "That obviously can't happen!"

"Is it because Lucy's too fat?" Happy snickered.

Gray sweatdropped and glared at Happy. "Lucy will kill you if you say that."

Erza stood up hastily, quieting the boys. "I'm going to check on Lucy."

"I'll come too!"

"Eh, why not?"

"Aye!"

Erza, Natsu, Happy, and Gray walked out of the guild, and walked straight to where Lucy lives. As they got closer and closer, Natsu became more…tensed. Gray noticed this and decided to ask him why.

"What's wrong, Natsu?" Gray asked.

Natsu gulped. "Why I smell blood?"

The mages, plus the cat, turned to him confusingly. There was silence for a few moment.

Erza was the first to speak up. "Blood? Where is it coming from?"

Natsu sniffed the air again. "I really hope I am wrong."

Gray grabbed his collar and shook him. "Where is it coming from!?"

Natsu gulped, staring off into the distance, where Lucy's house was. "…Lucy's"

There was another utter silence, to which it only lasted only for a second.

"She was attacked!?"

"Lushee!"

"Let's hope she's okay!"

The mages started running toward Lucy's apartment with concern and fury and Natsu burned the door without any second thoughts, much to Erza's annoyance. She'll have him pay for that so Lucy won't be too mad.

The mages looked around with concern in their eyes, definitely smelling blood. But there was nothing. Confusion wiped around Gray's and Erza's and Happy's face as they concluded that there was nothing here.

But Natsu was more skeptical as his nose tracked the source to Lucy's bathroom. Erza saw this and prevented him from burning the door. Instead, she used her sword to destroy the knob, letting the door open by itself.

The mages stood with shock when they saw the scene before her. Lucy was leaning over the tub, the tub filled with blood, and her arm was covered with it.

"Lucy!" Natsu ran forward and started shaking her, but she remained unconscious.

"Stop it, fire freak! That may not be the best move. Lucy already lost a lot of blood. The last thing we needed is to be shaking her." Gray shouted, shoving Natsu away.

"Enough!' Erza shouted, quieting the boys. "First, we need to stop the bleeding."

In all honesty, Erza was scared. She had so many questions to add to her uncertainties then before.

Erza knelt next to Lucy who was still leaning over the tub and grabbed her bloodied arm and summoned a towel and wrapped it around her arm to stop the bleeding.

"Is she still alive?" Natsu asked, with a look of concern clouding his eyes.

Erza placed her fingers against Lucy's neck and tried to feel any pulse. It was faint, but it was there. "Lucy's still alive, but it's faint. We need to get her some medical attention."

Gray looked at the tub filled with blood. He wondered what happened. Then he sees something in the tub. "Is that a knife?"

Erza, Natsu, and Happy turned to Gray before glancing into the tub, definitely seeing a knife covered in blood.

"What does this mean?" Happy cried, tears threatening to fall out.

Erza shook her head as she continued to wrap the towel and tried not to move Lucy too much. After she was done wrapping her arm with the towel, which was slowly being soaked with blood, she turned looked at her face.

Lucy's face was almost white. And why did Lucy have a peaceful smile?

"We need to take her to the infirmary in the guild. Wendy can help her." Gray said, snapping Erza out of her deep thinking.

Erza nodded and was about to carry Lucy bridal style, but Natsu beat her to it, carrying Lucy bridal style and ran out of the guild with unimaginable speed. Gray and Happy followed them out of the apartment.

Erza slowly stood back up and stared at the bloody tub and the knife that laid in the pool of blood. She looked around to see if there was anything else that might've happened.

Nothing.

Nothing was out of the ordinary. She eyes the piece of paper that she had written last night, which was crumbled and thrown onto the ground. She picked it up and rereads it. Erza sighed.

Did…Lucy try to kill herself?

Erza placed the paper on the table and ran out of the apartment and ran straight toward the guild. When she bolted in, she could already see the shocked and grim expression on the member's faces. Everybody was quiet. Everybody paused and stared at the door which was the entrance to the infirmary.

Erza stalked to the door and slowly opened and sees Natsu, Gray, Happy, Wendy, Carla, and Master in the room.

The towel that had wrapped Lucy's arm was unwrapped and Wendy was using her sky magic to try and stop the bleeding and heal it as much as possible.

The mages stood next to a wall in silence, watching Wendy tending to Lucy.

30 minutes later, Wendy stopped her magic and fell to her knees. Carla ran up to her to make sure she was alright.

"Lucy-san will be fine. She had lost a lot of blood though. When she wakes, she'll need food to keep her energy up." Wendy said as she stood back up.

"Ok, I'll bite, what happened back there? Why did we find her in the bathroom, possibly dying?" Gray said, already stripping out of his clothes.

Nobody answered. Erza hoped to god that her conviction was wrong. Why would Lucy try to kill herself? Why would a happy girl like Lucy try to kill herself? It just didn't make any sense.

"We'll just need to ask Lucy when she wakes up. But not when she immediately wake up. We don't want to put too much stress in her, as she already lost so much blood." Master Makarov said.

"Maybe the fish did it?" Happy tried.

The mages face-palmed.

~End of Flashback~

Master Makarov had ordered everybody to leave the infirmary except Erza and Wendy, as they are the only responsible one to watch over Lucy. Carla decided to leave them alone and sit with the others.

Meanwhile, outside of those set of doors, everyone was still quiet, still unmoving. They were anxious, they were enraged, they were scared, and they felt guilty to let something happen to Lucy.

"I swear…if somebody had done that to her, I will kill them." Natsu said with venom, standing next to a table, glaring at the guild's entrance, expecting anyone to enter through them.

"Mercy will not be given." Gray added.

"We don't that for sure." Mira said.

"Like I said, maybe a fish tried to kill her?" Happy said.

Nobody decided to respond to that.

…

Erza and Wendy sat in a chair in silence. Erza had her arms crossed, studying Lucy's face. Wendy stared at the floor. Silence continued to fill the room until Wendy decided to speak up.

"Erza…what happened?" Wendy timidly asked.

Erza tore her eyes away from Lucy and look at Wendy. "I really don't know. But Lucy was late in coming to the guild, and we decided to check up on her…only to find her in the bathroom, covered with blood and injuries."

Wendy looked up to looked at Lucy. "Do you think…Lucy-san tried to…" Wendy trailed off, afraid if what she thought was true or not.

Erza sighed. "I sure hope not. I don't see any reason as for why she would do it."

5 minutes past with utter silence, and Erza was becoming restless. She stood up quietly and turned to Wendy. "Come and find me when she wakes up. No one else."

Wendy nodded. "Where will you go?"

"I need some fresh air, so I'll be outside." Erza said as she walked out of the room, and into the room of tensed members that awaited for any further update about Lucy's condition.

Erza ignored them all as she exited the guild and leaned against the building next to the door. She takes a deep breath and looks at the sky.

She relived the scene over and over in her mind. Trying to find a reason why Lucy would've done it. Only to come up with nothing. She had already settled things with her father…so she doubted he was the cause.

Damn it, Lucy. Why did you try to kill yourself? Please tell me you weren't trying to kill yourself. Please…I don't need another family member dying on me.

...

It had been an entire day, and Lucy had not woke up yet. The sun was hugging the horizon, members reluctantly going home, one by one. Erza, Gray, Natsu, Happy, Carla, Wendy, and Master was the ones to stay behind, opting to spend the night at the guild.

Wendy continued to stay in the room with a sleeping Lucy. The others stayed outside, giving them room when Lucy does wake up. And Erza was still outside the guild.

Natsu leaned against a wall with his arms crossed, sad and afraid for his friend. The scene that he had seen terrified him. She had almost lost Lisanna once, although he was not there to see it, but he didn't want to relive that feeling of losing somebody again.

Gray sat at a table, bare of his clothes, and stared off into the distance. Seeing all the blood before her made him remember his past when Deliora had killed his family. He didn't want to lose anyone else. He didn't want to lose any more of his family.

Happy sat next to Carla, with their ears drooped down. The exceeds did not say anything, they continued to sit and hoped for the best.

Master Makarov sat on a bar, not daring to touch any of the booze, mostly because Mira had threatened him not to touch them. He knows all too well of losing somebody important to him. He can only hope that Lucy will be fine and live. He only wonders what happened.

Erza continued to lean against the building outside the building, staring off into the dead of the night, the stars that filled the stars, the brightest of the brightest stars gleaming. But to Erza, they seemed really dull. Erza vowed to never lose a family member…after Uncle Robby, Lisanna or Simon. To see Lucy slipping like that really made her…afraid.

The mage continued to stay in the dead of silence, with Wendy watching over Lucy, and the others just hoping for the best and hear Lucy's side of the story.

"Erza."

Erza looked down to see Wendy looking at her through the door. She immediately knew what she was going to say, but she wanted to hear it first.

"She's awake."

A/N: Boooom!
