"Tristan and Vincent were hired by him to make your life miserable enough that you'd want to go back home. I'm sorry, I know this isn't the news you need right now Lu-Lu," Lisanna said sympathetically as she hugged her now crying friend as she repeated 'i'm so sorry Lu-Lu' over and over again.

"Why... Why did it have to be like this?" Lucy sniffled in her friend's arms trying to regain her composition.

"I don't know Lu-Lu... but I do know that we won't desert you, what do you want to do? I mean, you could confront the assholes if you wanted," Lisanna asked rubbing Lucy's back softly as the blonde started pulling herself together.

"I'm going to go back to that wretched home to give him a piece of my mind. He can mess with me how ever he likes I won't change my mind even if I'm beaten, but I will not tolerate him messing with yours and my feelings!" Lucy spoke proudly as she wiped away her tears, her eyes ha mixed feelings of anger, sadness and apology.

"No you can't! If you go in you won't get back out and I don't even want to think let alone know what he'd do to you this time, he's probably even doubled his security! Mira would also forbid it, you can't leave us again LuLu" Lisanna said as her voice wavered at the thought of Lucy's 'punishment'

"Lisanna, How do you not hate me yet? I mean you've had the worst of everything he has dished out, out of anyone that he knows is close to me, and yet you still don't blame me, why?! You should just hate my guts for even existing" Lucy half yelled half sobbed.

"Because it's not your fault. I know better than anyone one that you're nothing like you're father, he's cold distant and will do anything to get what he wants, and he only does this to you because he blames you for what happened back then, You are kind, patient and will help a friend in need a-and you're the only one who was nice to me other than my family when I was little, so there's no way I could hate you!" Lisanna said softly her voice wavering as she teared up slightly as she spoke.

Lisanna's words hit Lucy like a ton of bricks had come crashing down, as Lucy looked Lisanna in her eyes she noticed how they told a different story they held a fear and sadness as she looked at the blonde.

"Lisanna, I'm sorry... I'm going back! You all risked everything for me, you're friends, popularity, your peaceful school life, everything that means so much to a high school student! He is not getting away with it this time, he's done ruining everyone's lives!" Lucy spoke determinedly as her bangs covered her eyes casting a shadow upon them.

Lucy's eyes where filled with a look of pure hatred as she walked out of the girls toilets. She walked down the now slightly busy school halls to the head masters office, to master Makarove.

"Sir, I apologise but I must leave school due to a few... family issues" Lucy spoke to Makarov in a quiet but determined tone, not daring look at him directly.

"Lucy... I know it's not just family issues my child, I know this as a certain big-eared friend of yours has told me everything, I would like to advise against it if what I've heard is true," The small old headmaster Makarov spoke kindly towards the blonde as if she were his own child.

Natsu stood just outside the doorway behind Lucy, out of breath but grinning since he got there a long time before the blonde as he heard the entirety of Lucy and Lisanna's conversation.

"I'm sorry but I have to do this, he's hurt too many of my friends already. If I come back would I be allowed re-entry into the school with everyone?" Lucy asked emphasising the 'if' because it was highly unlikely she'd come back without guards following her left, right and centre.
Lucy stared at the floor, the room was silent for a few seconds before Makarov tried to speak.

"Lu-" Makarov was interrupted by a large crash, Makarov glared at the innocent looking Natsu, thinking it was the pinkette messing around, but Lucy knew it wasn't her pink haired best friend, she knew all too well it wasn't him though she had really wished it was.

All of a sudden Lucy's anger began to build up all at once as her father's personal guards crashed through the headmaster's doors breaking them off their hinges she let every little bit of her anger flow out into two words.

"FUCK OFF!" Lucy screamed at the guards who seemed a little scared for a second but more shocked than anything to see the usual scared and quiet Lucy yelling, swearing and looking as though she could scare the crap out of a dragon-Erza's influence is what Natsu and the others who had looked in thought simultaneously- the guards hadn't seen this side of Lucy since she was ten and ran away the first time.

"Lady Lucy the master wants you home..." A bald guy who is very tough looking with no emotion whatsoever on his face said.

He was the strongest of the Lamia scale guards, Lucy absolutely hated him because he had no feelings what so ever, or didn't show any anyway. He was also Lucy's father's favourite and personal guard meaning if he was here it meant her father was sure to be here somewhere.

"No! I will never go back to that place even if my life was threatened! I refuse to listen to anything he has to say regarding everything he has done to me and my friends! Stop trashing my home and leave my family alone!" Lucy growled at the men glaring at them, a glare that rivalled that of Erza's. Jura visibly shivered at the glare that looked as if she were about to kill. (Yeah, I know this is probably impossible but if her glare rivalled Erza's its got to be pretty scary)

"Lucy, don't make it harder than it has to be," another man said, though he wasn't from the Lamia scale guards no.. he was from the celestial guards, they're sneaky like ninja's...and this one was in a suit, and he had shades on indoors, Lucy knew exactly who he was and a cold sweat began to fall down the back of her neck.

"Capricorn," Lucy glared at the goat faced man at which the man didn't even flinch, which surprised everyone, even the emotionless tool Jura.

There was a second of silence until Capricorn picked Lucy up and placed her over his shoulder, Lucy did not like that idea and kicked the goat faced man in the jaw which in turn made him drop her, thankfully Natsu caught her before her head hit the floor which was really fast, even for Natsu. Lucy ran out of the building as Natsu put her down, she had Natsu and a few of the 'gang' on her tail calling after her and then the guards chasing after them all, the group by now had given up so Lucy ran round a corner she almost got away from the guards, that was until she ran into someone she had not seen in years, nor had she wanted to see

"S-Sting..." Lucy breathed as the well-built blonde stood arms crossed in front of her. His narcissistic smile aimed down at her.

"Nice to see you too blondie," he stated sarcastically with a mischievous glint in his eye which terrified Lucy '

'well, shit' is all Lucy could think as she looked at the sabertooth member in fear.
