(Lucy's Perspective)

I am dead.

But I am an angel.

No.

No!

I thought if the wings disappearing and they did.

I sighed in relief as nobody saw. We were in the middle of the forest after all.

"We are almost there. Just a little longer." We were nearing the edge of the forest. I'm not tired at all.

"Here it is! Fairy Tail." He grinned his stupid grin at me. I looked to my home. I didn't notice that my cheeks were heavily coated in tears until i felt his thumb on my cheek.

I looked to see his concerned face, but he quickly shook it off.

He grabbed my waist and threw me on his back. "What are you doing?" I asked monotonously.

"Well you aren't wearing shoes and your feet are really dirty. We also have been running for a long time so..."

"Alright." I replied. With that Natsu bounded into the guild. He slammed the door open with a kick and said, no, screamed that he was back. I felt like he burst my eardrums.

Everyone soon got into a fight. Oh Fairy Tail. I felt more tears fall down my new face. Why am I different? I'm basically the opposite of what I used to be.

"Hey there," Someone said. I looked to find my favorite bookworm, Levy. "You are new right?" I nodded and she stuck out her hand. "I'm Levy McGarden, what's your name?" I looked to her smiling face and grabbed her hand. It's different that her hands are almost twice the size as mine.

"I am Elle. Elle Hart." I replied emotionlessly.

"Well, it's nice to meet you Elle. Are you going to join the guild?"

"Yes. Yes I am."

"Oh great! What kind of magic do you have?"

I paled. But by the looks on the bookworm's face I was normal. At least current normal. "I have angel magic." I felt myself pour out in response.

Her eyebrows raised. "Angel magic? I don't think I've heard of that before. It must be cool though right?"

"Yeah. I only have a few spells that I've mastered though. I'm pretty weak." I said modestly. I really have no idea how to use my magic right now. I'm just going with my gut.

"Weak? I doubt you're weak. Well, knowing Fairy Tail, you'll be a great Mage in no time!" She boasted. "We will be best friends from now on alright?" She continued."Hey, Elle? How old are you?"

I inwardly gasped. By my body I'm eight, but inside I'm still seventeen. "I'm eight years of age." I said.

Her eyes widened. "Really? Eight? You seem so mature!" She go on her knees and pinched my cheeks. After a few seconds she let go and looked at me with worried eyes. "Elle, are you alright?" She neatly placed her hands on her knees.

"I'm fine."

"But you're crying."

"I am aware."

"Why?"

"I actually have no idea myself. The tears just don't stop."

She looked to me with empathy in her eyes. Then she stood and smiled. "We can change that though."

"How?"

"Fairy Tail is like a big family. So we are basically family now. And family always helps each other out." She smiled even wider.

We walked to Mirajane to get my stamp. White on my right hand. Pink would get everyone to remember of the bad memory. Afterwards we walked outside.

"Thank you Levy-chan."

Her eyes widened at the remembrance of her diseased friend.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up bad memories Levy." I waved my hands in front of my face. I felt flustered and embarrassed.

Her eyes softened. "I'm sorry that I made you feel that way. It's just that my fri- my old friend used to call me that."

"Lucy. Lucy Heartfilia." I whispered.

"How did you know?"

"I'm sorry. It's just that Natsu was talking about her earlier. I just assumed that it would be the same person. No I didn't assume I heard your thoughts on accident and I don't know how to control it." I rambled monotonously.

She placed her hand on my shoulder. I looked up to her. "It's alright. No one says her name anymore since she..." The bookworm trailed off.

"Left?" I asked, trying not to make it sound so sad.

"Yeah. Since she left." She looked away.

"Levy," I said looking down to my shoeless feet. "How long has it been?" I saw a few of my tears fall onto the concrete ground.

She took a while for her reply. "Seven weeks." She stated quietly. I heard her sad thoughts and felt her tears.

"I'm sorry for your loss." I said while trying to comfort her. I put my hand in hers and squeezed. This is where my old smile would have come in handy.

She sniffled and perked up. "No don't be. It was just unexpected and she was my best friend. Some people took it differently than others. I happen to be more depressed though. Like her old teammates. They took it the worst." We stayed hand and hand for a few minutes until I finally spoke again.

"Could you show me her grave?"

She gave a sweet smile and lightly pulled me to the back of the guild and then to the side where there was the beginning of the forest.

There it was. Adorned with flowers of all colors and pictures of me. The past me. I stood in front of it then sat on my knees. I felt a parade of tears fall down my face.

"Here lies our beloved Lucy Heartfilia. A wonderful mage who loved her friends dearly. She shall never be forgotten." It read in the grey stone.

I placed my index finger on the letters and dragged it across the grave.

I really am dead. My body is seven feet under this very grass.

I dropped my hand to the ground.

I felt Levy's memories flood my brain.

(Levy's memories) ((Lucy's perspective but through Levy's eyes))

I heard doors fly open to show a very bloody Natsu with something in his hands. He was breathing heavily and you could see from a close range that he had tears on his cheeks.

"Help her. Please. I can't help her. Someone please." He croaked as he fell to his knees sobbing.

My sight wandered to what he was holding and I immediately felt tears cloud my eyes. I felt myself move towards Natsu.

"Wendy!" I heard myself call. The little girl rushed to Natsu.

"Please. Help her." He cried, still holding the something close to his chest. He was sobbing as Wendy put her hands to the something to heal it.

I felt myself shivering as I held my hand to my mouth.

Wendy fell back exhausted and crying. "I'm sorry. I can't. She's..." The twelve year old couldn't continue as she began to sob uncontrollably. Her white cat rushed to her side as well as the blue cat to Natsu. The cats comforted their best friends the best they could.

"Lucy." He whispered with a scratchy voice. He dropped the something to the wooden ground to the entrance of the guild.

"Lucy." I heard myself whisper. I stated at my body. It was covered in blood. The dagger was no where to be seen but Natsu's favorite scarf was stained as it was used to stifle the blood at the fatal wound.

Everything went black as the memory faded.

(Lucy's normal perspective)

The black faded into single blades of grass.

I was laying on the ground and Levy was furiously shaking my shoulder.

"I'm sorry Levy. I saw your memory and I've never done that before. I'm awake though."

She sighed and picked me up onto her hip. She wrapped my arms around her neck and my legs around her waist. "It's alright Elle. I was just scared." She grinned and she walked us back inside the guild.

I nuzzled my face into the bookworm's neck. "Thank you Levy." I felt myself drift from consciousness and I fell into a dreamless sleep.

I awoke to several familiar faces.

My old team.

I felt a few silent tears fall from my face.

"Hey Elle!" Natsu said.

"Hello." I replied.

"This us my team and I want you to meet them." I nodded in response.

"Hello Elle, I am Erza Scarlet. You may call me Erza." The scarlet haired Mage said. She gave me her hand to shake. Her hand was huge as well.

"I'm Gray Fullbuster." The unknowing naked man said.

"Clothes." I whispered.

"Gahhh!" The ice Mage screamed as he ran to find his clothes.

"I'm Happy!" The flying blue cat said.

"My name is Wendy Marvell." The twelve year old with pig-tails said.

"It's nice to meet you all." I said. We talked about their magic and their lives. It's difficult to hear their stories again.

"I'm going to go take a job now." I stood from the table and walked to the request board. I pulled a job that was 115,000 jewel that was to capture bandits.

I walked over to Mirajane to get it approved.

"Are you sure you want to take this job alone, Elle?" She asked.

"Yes." I stated. She looked at me and reluctantly stamped the paper.

I walked out of the guild only to find Natsu following me from behind bushes.

"I can do this on my own." I said. "Go back to the guild Natsu."

"How did you know i was following you?" He asked.

"I heard your thoughts. The answer is no. You cannot come with me."

"Why not? You picked a tough job for an eight year old." Oh how I wanted to say I wasn't a kid.

"Fine. I'm getting 100,000 of the jewels though."

"Yes!" He said in triumph.

We walked forward with him behind me. He was trying to protect me from random citizens along the way.

"The train?" He asked.

"Yes."

"Can we walk?"

"No."

"Why?" He pouted.

"I took this job wanting to go alone. You decided to join me. So you follow my rules."

"Bleh." He mimicked vomit sounds as we walked into the train.

When it started moving, he flopped onto the nearest seat and pulled his hands over his mouth.

"Just go to sleep." I said.

He replied with gagging sounds.

"Same old Natsu." I thought sadly to myself.

I heard the train stop and Natsu jumped in happiness. I dragged him out of the train. He was so heavy.

"Client's house first." I said.

We walked to a small mansion and asked the maids to go inside.

"Ah. Someone has accepted my request. Thank you." The old man with an unusually large nose said. "I am Rhy Noceros."

Natsu stiffed a laugh at the client's name.

"It is a pleasure to meet you Mr. Noceros. I am Elle and this is Natsu." I said to the old man.

He smiled. "So about the job, all I need from you is to capture some bandits that have been stealing from the richer citizens in the village. There are only a few bandits and they reside in the forest somewhere. If you succeed, I will give you 115,000 jewels."

"We will gladly accept this mission Mr. Noceros." I said monotonously.

I stood to shake his hand. Then we walked away.

"Be careful Elle dear." He said with a frown.

"Of course, Mr. Noceros." I said.

He looked surprised but smiled.

I started to walk towards the forest.

"Elle?" Natsu asked.

"Yes?"

"How did you hear Mr. *Pft* Rhy Noceros say to be careful?"

I stopped walking and tilted my head. "What do you mean?"

"He whispered very quietly. I could barely hear him."

"Really?" He nodded. "Hmm. I guess I have advanced hearing now." I said while resuming walking.

"What do you mean 'now'." He asked.

I felt more tears fall down my face. "I'm different than I used to be, Natsu."

"How so?"

"I used to smile. I didn't have this hair, these eyes, this personality. These tears." I whispered the last part.

"What happened?"

"My heart broke."

He looked at me confused, but I kept walking.

"Thirty meters north then underground is their base." I said.

He stopped walking and started getting ready to jump in and knock everyone out.

"Be quiet and follow me. I have a plan." I said.

I walked to the entrance and grabbed some dirt to rub on myself. I rolled down into the hole and thought of sad memories that I knew would make me cry more.

"Hello?" I asked.

I heard some grunts an snickers. Then I heard a fat man walk towards me. "Hello little girl. What are you doing in the woods all by yourself?" He kneeled to look at my face.

"Are you good guys or bad guys?" I asked.

"There is only me here and I am very good." He said.

"Him." I pointed to a dark corner. "He is bad." I heard the bandit in the corner shift in his spot.

"What do you mean? There is no one there?"

"You are an idiot." I said.

I punched his face and kicked his thigh. Then all of the other bandits jumped out of their spots.

They all had small daggers but when I saw them, they floated away. Some growled. They all attacked eventually.

After about five minutes of punching, kicking, and squealing? I walked back out with a large rope that was attached to all of the bandits.

Natsu looked at me surprised. "How did you-?"

"They were stupid." I replied with only one tear on my face.

"Well?" I asked.

"Well what?"

"Carry them."

"What?"

"The bandits. I can't carry them."

"Oh!" He picked up the large group of unconscious bandits and we walked back to Mr. Noceros' house.

"Done." I said to the old man.

His eyebrows shot up. "Fantastic! Fairy Tail mages work very fast."

He asked his maid to get the money and she came back only a minute later with a large bag. "Here you are. 115,000 jewels. Thank you."

"You're welcome Mr. Noceros. The stolen items are in their hideout in the woods." I said as I clutched the bag that was surprisingly light, but very awkward to carry in my small arms.

Natsu took the bag and swung me on his back. "Bye!" He said as we walked away from the mansion.

"So how did your first job go?" Natsu asked.

"Easily. I'm only giving you money because I don't need all of it and you carried the bandits. I'm not giving you any more." I said monotonously.

He chuckled and kept walking to the train station. I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes.

Memories of old missions flooded me and so did the tears.

"Hey Elle," Natsu interrupted my thoughts.

"Hmm?"

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

"Do you cry because of your feelings?"

"Yes. I was remembering some things a moment ago."

"Oh. You can talk to me about stuff if you want to."

"Alright Natsu. I'm going to take a nap. Don't hurl on me while we're on the train." I placed my head on his back and closed my eyes again.

"I won't." He said softly. I could hear him smiling.

I soon fell asleep.

DONE
