The group of guys were confused...How was this attack their beautiful blondes fault?

How was this attack their beautiful blondes fault?

"Lucy...don't blame yourself for what phantom did it's no-" Gray was cut off by Lucy yelling

"It is my fault! If I never came here, If I never tried to have a normal life then they wouldn't have attacked Fairy Tail!" she knew something like this would happen again, and she couldn't stop it. My God, she wished she could but she had no power. She could only cry and do nothing... and she despised it.

"What're ya talking about Luce?" Natsu asked as he tried to comfort the blonde, she moved away, fists clenched as she shook in anger. Nobody knew, nobody was meant to find out.

"Phantom are after me to do what they did to my mother," Lucy yelled, tears beginning to fall down her cheeks.

"Lucy?"Lisanna was a little frightened of this Lucy...She was just like the Lucy she used to know. The one who could take down her older brother and Laxus, she was terrifying.

"They-They want to kill me... just like they killed her"Lucy's voice was now back to a whisper, her sobs took over and she huddled up closer to herself,

That's when headmaster Makarov walked in between the crowd.

"Listen up brats" he began "No one is to run off on their own. Everyone has to be in groups encase the enemy attacks!"

"Luce, they won't get you, I promise you they won't, " Natsu said his voice deep and serious, his eyes looked like they were on fire as he looked at her.

Lucy couldn't take it anymore, she didn't deserve their protection she didn't deserve their kindness or their friendship and trust. She didn't understand how they couldn't see she was the thing endangering them. She ran out of Fairy Hills, stupid idea because Aquarius told her to stay put but she wanted this to end and end right now. Lucy ran and hid since literally, everyone ran after her, they had split up into groups to find her. But Lucy knew places they didn't. She ran to the edge of Magnolia where she had found a small cave. She huddled up small in the darkest part of the cave digging her nails into her skin. She was so angry with herself, she couldn't do anything right.

"why me...?" Lucy mumbled to herself. She stood up and began punching the wall, that was until a familiar warm hand stopped her. She growled at the hand that prevented her from punching the wall.

"Hey! Don't growl at me Luce" The childish voice rang through her ears. It was dark so Natsu couldn't see she was still crying.

"Natsu, let go of my wrists" Lucy growled which covered up her wavering voice. His grip tightened and she was pulled into his warm embrace. didn't like it, she kept wriggling and punching him.

"Luce, gramps told us NOT to run off on our own and you, their main freaking target run off and worry everyone to death" Natsu yelled, usually Lucy would be shocked, but she just yelled back.

"Then would you just forget about me! Act as if I never even became a part of your school! Go back to your normal life without me in it!" her scream seemed to silence him, but only fo a few seconds.

"Never" were his only words as he pulled her closer,

Natsu's words just seemed to anger Lucy more but she was only getting angrier at herself.

"How can you stand me huh? I'm the reason your in danger, I'm the reason our home was destroyed, I'm the reason why my mother's DEAD!" Lucy screeched and sobbed at the same time. She didn't understand. It's all her fault but they never blamed her, not even for a second, Why?

"Luce... You're coming home whether you like it or not! Everyone's worried and they have something to say to you," Natsu said before he shoved her over his shoulder in a fire mans lift, she didn't resist this time, it was pointless to resist something she can't escape. She knew that all too well.
