Lucy POV:

Today was going to be a great day. Lisanna had come back a few months ago, and she was soooooo nice! Apparently, the Guild had thought that we would have fought a lot since we had similar personalities, but honestly, she was too sweet to get mad at! Sure, I was a little depressed that the Guild had seemed to forget me once they figured out that Lisanna and I weren't going to fight like Gray and Natsu, but I learned to deal. It was kinda hurtful when Natsu just stopped talking to me though, along with Erza and Gray. Happy still talked to me though, and Gajeel, Wendy, and Juvia. Carla and Pantherlily too. And Master of course, I mean come on, he wouldn't ignore any of his children.

So, I was in my home, thinking about how I was going to pay the rent soon. Sure, the landlady was nice enough to let me pay it next month, but I really didn't want to abuse her kindness. I quickly put on some comfortable clothes I would be able to move well in. I put on a pair of shorts and a cute pale blue tank top with some cherry blossom designs on it. I started walking towards the Guild and stopped by the cake shop. I mean, special occasions should get cake, right? And what better cake to get than a nice strawberry shortcake, that would make Erza's day. The cashier smiled at me and waved as I exited the little shop after paying for the cake. I continued on my way, though I noticed that one of hairclips had snapped. 'That's a bad omen…' I thought before ignoring it and continuing on my way to the Guild.

On my way there, I heard a desperate scream and recognised it as Lisanna's. I summoned Loke and Virgo, getting Virgo to take the cake to the Guild for me, so we could all enjoy it together. While she was doing that, Loke and I went to check to see what was happening. Honestly, when I got there I was shocked, there was Lisanna.

But she had been cornered by a few men, each almost as big as Taurus. I quickly summoned Capricorn to help as well, seeing as there were six of them as far as I could see. Lisanna had her clothes torn, and it appeared that she was crying. I gave a quick and sharp yell to alert people passing by that something was happening, to make sure that there were witnesses so that these dorks couldn't say that I just randomly started beating them up. I saw a few people gather outside as my spirits and I began to fight the men away from Lisanna. I made sure that they were able to see that they had hurt Lisanna before I came, and together my spirits and I knocked the guys out. I was running low on magic, keeping my spirits out and fighting did that to me. I asked my spirits as well as the witnesses that had gathered to take the men to the nearest post of the Rune Knights while I tiredly dragged my body to check on Lisanna.

I let out a relieved sigh as I saw that she hadn't been harmed, just had her clothes ripped off. I quickly summoned Virgo to get Lisanna a shirt, though I could tell that she had fainted from the trauma of this incident. I quickly put the shirt on her, and just as I was finishing I saw Team Natsu as well as Elfman and Mira and the entrance to the alley we were in. I smiled at them, relieved that there weren't any more men to take down. Loke and Capricorn were still sending the men to the Rune Knights, and after summoning Virgo while the two were already summoned, I was ready to sleep.

But they didn't look happy, no they looked mortified. Before I could ask why, Mira was choking me in her Sitri Soul form. "W-why?" I asked as she lifted me off the ground. They didn't answer as they started beating me, saying that I shouldn't be jealous just because they didn't spend all their time with me, yelling at me for- Did they actually think that?! They were yelling at me for beating up Lisanna, even though there were no signs that I had. Hell, I was more injured than her! But as I kept pleading, begging them to stop, they didn't let up. Gray had frozen different parts of my body before shattering the ice, Erza had used her Heaven's Wheel armour to stab me in various parts of my body, and Natsu… Natsu had even used his Fire Dragon's Iron Fist on my Guild mark, burning it off before telling me I was no longer welcome in Fairy Tail. They threw me around the alley, painting the alley in my blood. I was glad that Lisanna hadn't woken up, I wouldn't want her to see both her brother and sister in their demon takeovers attempting to kill me, as well as her greatest friends, Team Natsu, torturing me.

And they were indeed torturing me, telling screaming about how useless I am, how weak. How I would never do anything, how I would never be remembered as anything but a hindrance. It burned, it stung and I felt the spears that they were throwing into my heart. It hurt so much that these people were my nakama, my family who were saying this, doing this to me. I had thought that they had had more faith in me than that.

I knew that there wasn't anyone to hear what was going on. Anyone who'd been within hearing distance had come when I was saving Lisanna, and had left with my spirits to give accounts on what had happened. I was seeing black spots right now, and when they were done, there were multiple pools of my blood.

"You should thank us for not killing you, you piece of shit." Erza snarled at me. "We better never see your ugly face ever again." She flicked the blood, my blood, off her sword and onto my face.

"If you ever try to come to the Guild again, or we see you on any of our missions, we will finish the job." Gray hissed. I could see the freezing vapour that was simply exuding out of him. He was glaring down at me as if I were nothing to them.

And I guess I was. Here I had been, hoping against hope that they would have remembered why this day was special, why I had been so excited for today. I had even told Lisanna about what today was, and I guess none of them really listened other than Master, Lisanna and the few who remembered me.

It had been the Anniversary of the Guild's formation, and I had prepared gifts and cake, and ribbons for everyone. Virgo already had instructions to decorate and prepare everything in the Guild, so I wouldn't have to worry about that. But there was more, and I'd been hoping that they'd remember this.

It was my birthday.

All those years, I had celebrated on my own, ever since my mother died. The Guild had promised me that they would help make it special, after all, I was turning 18. But no one had cared, now that I think about it. They hadn't listened to me at all, at any time really. Not even when I came up with plans for missions, they had just gone rampaging in, tearing everything in their way down. I felt myself sinking lower and lower into depression.

In the back of my mind, I saw them all turn and leave, bathed in my blood. Mira, still in her Sitri soul, carrying Lisanna to the infirmary. I hoped she was okay. As I looked around myself, at the walls that had been painted in my blood, I knew that this is probably where I would die, whether it was because of blood loss of magic exhaustion. I had nothing left to lose, so I did what I did best.

I summoned a spirit.
