Hey everyone sorry for the late update I had to shovel snow all day and it set me back a little. Well I made this a long chapter for you guys enjoy.

Oh also i forgot to put this on the first chapter but

I DO NOT own Fairy Tail Hiro Mashima does

I just own the plot, any characters, items, and/or places I make up with my creative mind ;)

Well here is Chapter 2 enjoy

As I got further and further away from the place I've called my home for all these years I started to feel a little sad. But soon the town turned into forest as the train sped away faster and faster, I pulled out my sound pod and blasted my music in my ears to drown out my sadness and thoughts. I've been having trouble sleeping lately so after awhile when I started to drift to sleep since the train ride was going to take at least a day and a half to reach my destination I gladly welcomed unconsciousness.

I woke up at around 9:35am seeing as it was around noon when I finally left the guild and my friends yesterday. I know they'll miss me but I left them letters at my apartment I know levy will know where to look. I just hope I didn't hurt them by leaving so suddenly. I was so glad to finally get some rest I don't think I've slept that well since the guild started ignoring me. I would wake up every morning with red puffy eyes from crying every night until at least 3 in the morning and sleep deprivation. But no matter what I was feeling I learned how to keep my feeling inside when I was not alone in my home, safe from the outside world. I would clean myself up, put some eye drops in my eyes to clear the redness and try to cool my skin down so it wouldn't be so puffy. Then put just a little make-up under my eyes to cover the dark circles. Then I would walk to the guild with a forced fake smile and wear it all day until I came home where I could cry all I wanted.

"Stop it lucy, you need to stop thinking about them pull yourself together you need to show them that you can be strong and that you will be happy again NO MATTER WHAT!"

After shaking the thoughts of home away I looked out the window again deciding that I was going to call out plue I was getting a little lonely. I turned my sound pod down and then off so the volume doesn't make me jump out of my skin the next time I play music.

"Open! Gate of the Canis Minor! Nikora!" I said as I slashed my arm through the air.

"PunPunn"

"Hey plue do you mind staying with me for a little while?" I asked

"Pun" he said (translation "yes")

"Thanks" The thing I love about about plue is that you can just cuddle up to him and feel instantly calm and plus he is just so adorable. We just cuddled so that he could make me feel better the rest of the train ride. I know my spirits will always make me feel better when i'm down they're always there for me even Aquarius which was a surprise I honestly thought that she would be overjoyed that I was pain, and mostly alone, but she wasn't she even threatened to drown Natsu and the rest of the guild except those who cared for me still. I was thankful for her though I told her it wasn't necessary to do that she reluctantly followed my order to not hurt them. I had to tell no order my spirits to hurt anyone. She gave me a hug much to my surprise before she departed to go back to the spirit world.

On the train ride me and plue both fell asleep again so when we arrived in Clover town we were very tired and it was getting dark so we went to look for a cheap hotel to spend the night in. I didn't have to meet the mayor until 8:30 in the morning. So I had the rest of the night to relax and get myself together. After walking around for 20 minutes we found a hotel room for 7,000 jewels a night. After paying for two nights I walked to my room then closed the door behind me the first thing I did was plop on the bed. I called down for room service so I could eat something since I haven't all day I got some candy for plue since he wanted some. I was resting on the bed watching plue dance around the room when I heard a knock at the door for our food 15 minutes later I paid the man gave him a tip then plue and I proceeded to eat our dinner.

Afterwards I called virgo with the suitcase I sat aside for this mission. Thanking her I sent I sent her and plue home while I got myself ready for bed. I grabbed my pajamas, washcloth, soap, shampoo, towel, and toothpaste and toothbrush and headed to the bathroom. I drew myself a bath when it was the right temperature and stopped the water. stripped out of my clothes and got in. The heat stung a little bit but I soon relaxed and started to clean myself. An hour later I came from the bath dressed and really tired you would think that i would be tired after sleeping most of the train ride but no I was just so exhausted. I used telepathy between me and my spirits to contact Horologium and tell him to wake me up at 6:30am. Then for the second time that day I drifted to sleep.

"Luce we all wanted to put lisanna on the team, but we think 5 is too many so we decided she could take your spot. This way you can train more so you're not so weak {echoes(weak) over and over again}, YOU'RE WEAK LUCY, Lisanna is BETTER and MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU, YOU'RE NOTHING that's why I LOVE HER and NOT you." Natsu says smiling again lisanna is trying to reassure me that i'm not weak and that I am strong but natsu is pulling her away from me and her assurance is drowned out by the vile words of my guild mates my once "nakama" I can't help but cry, because I know he is right I am weak, useless, I'm nothing. I question why i'm even in the guild. I look around and everyone is laughing at me, my friends who were there for me are no longer there I don't know where they went but I don't see them the crowd that is closing in on me telling me to leave that I don't belong, I'm not worthy of being in fairy tail, calling me a coward, a weakling. I rush through them tears falling from my face. I'm all alone again just like I was when I was a child after momma died. I have no one I continue crying and I can't stop the tears just keep coming and coming.

The scene changes and i'm not at the guild anymore I'm younger and i'm back at home with my dad. It's my birthday he doesn't remember or care.

"PAPA!" i yell excitedly coming into his office "Guess what today is! GUESS GUESS it's a very special day" I continue yelling excitedly smiling while holding my favorite doll both my parents got me when momma was still alive.

"Child can't you see i'm busy, I don't have time for your silly nonsense today now leave my office so I can get back so business." He forgot he forgot it was my birthday. I felt tears gathering in my eyes as I ran out of his office and into my room to hide for the rest of the day hugging Michelle close to me as the tears fell down my face.

I woke up crying looking around me to see where I was, noticing i wasn't in my room I started to panic a little then yesterday's events started coming back to me. It was 5:47am when I finally got up it was earlier than I thought it was. "No need for the alarm from Horologium now, since my dreams and nightmares wake me up before hand" I sighed and got up to get ready for the day.

After I got myself together, up, and dressed I decided to grab a quick breakfast at one of the nearest restaurant.

"I'll have Strawberry Waffles and a side of eggs with a French Vanilla Iced Coffee please" I told the waiting waiter (A/N: Get it the waiting waiter because they're waiting to wait on you? Get it? Okay that's enough my my bad/terrible jokes back to the story) as I handed her the menu and smiled at her. Then proceeded to wait for my food, when it arrived I ate it all rather quickly because I didn't want to be late.

Time skip after the Mayor's Office

Laying on top of a roof of a random looking building searching for anything suspicious in the small happy town. Unluckily for me nothing happened until 4 hours later. Seeing it was already 1pm the talk with the mayor had gone a little longer than necessary. 5 men wearing all black walked into different directions but all headed in the same place.

Summoning Aries to create a cushion made of wool on the ground below; I jumped from the building top, thanking her saying she did great and dismissed her. Then I rushed towards the store the bandits were in calling out virgo to help me while unlatching my Fleuve d'étoiles. Before they could enter the building. I made my presence known calling out Loke to my side

"Open! Gate of the Lion! Leo"

"You called princess?" I sweatdropped

"No time for flirting loke help me take out these bandits." I said

"As you wish princess" then he went into action it didn't say on the flyer but apparently two of them were mages. One used water magic the other used fire magic. I let loke and virgo deal with the mages while I knocked the other three unconscious. Then called Virgo to tie them up, asked her for some extra rope for the other two then dismissed her. Joining the fight with loke barely missing a stream of water coming at me we were all dodging blows and magic from each other. When I just got tired of it and called Aquarius to wipe them out hopefully not me with them.

"Open! Gate of the water bearer! Aquarius!"

"Could you please wipe them out?" For once she actually smiled at me and said

"My pleasure" and knocked them out in one go. I'm just glad that she didn't get me this time.

"Thank you, I just hope I didn't ruin a date between Scorpio and you. I'll give you each 3 months off so you can spend time together." then I dismissed her and Loke calling out Taurus to tie up the last two and help me hull them to the police for them to wait for the rune knights to take them away.

After I went to the mayor to get my reward I was exhausted, and headed back to the hotel. I went to take a long bath to relax again then got out and got dressed calling out Loke and Capricorn telling them I would need their help because starting tomorrow I would be training in Alpine Forest for the next 3-4 years. They agreed and went back to the spirit world I went to sleep. Calling out all those spirits today has taken a great toll on my magical energy.

Waking up groggy I changed into a black tee shirt with pink short shorts and black running shoes. Putting my hair up in a ponytail, I checked out the hotel and started making my way into the forest. First stopping in a weapons store, I noticed a beautiful necklace the tag said it was a equip necklace for small items for 150 jewels. I grabbed that along with a black and gold katana that came with 5 matching daggers, that were 2500 jewels. Then two items caught my eye particularly; one was white the other a light blue twin swords with silver intricate designs and symbols which I recognized as the zodiac. Deciding on asking the store clerk about them I walked up to him with my finds.

"Excuse me but I would like to buy this katana and matching daggers but I wanted to know if you had any celestial keys, and to learns more about these twin swords." I said smiling at him

"Ah yes, of course madam we don't have much information on them, they were just brought in. We do know that they can be infused with celestial magic to become stronger they can also be put together to create a twin blade sword (A/N: yeah don't know the name for it I'm bad with weapons that could be the name but I'm not completely sure). One is wind sword the other water, I'm afraid that's all the information I have on these, they are one of a kind you're lucky to have spotted such a beautiful and stronger weapon." He said

Smiling again I agreed then asked if he had and celestial keys. Sadly he said no so I just paid for my new weapons which came down to around 2650 jewels he let me have the celestial twin swords as a gift. Putting the equip necklace I started my way to the store to get some food that'll last me about 2 weeks. Calling out virgo to take my new weapons and food to the spirit world. I started walking to the town's edge towards the forest.

Five hours later I found a huge clearing and decided it was further away from the town that I could train in peace but not to far so that I can't make trips to town to get supplies. I walked a little more finding a cave that I could use as it wasn't occupied. Making note that the clearing was near so I wouldn't have to walk to far to train every day.

I called out Virgo once more to bring me all my stuff, and set it up. I put all my suitcases on the other side of the cave it was almost as big as my apartment back magnolia. Setting out to the clearing to train i could already tell this would be a long 3- 4 years. Calling out Capricorn we begin my training with meditating and focusing my magic energy. After five minutes I was losing control over the pressure of my magic as it increased and had to stop.

"Lucy-sama you need to focus. Take deep breaths and truly focus on your magic. Feel it, sense it's strength and weakness, study it. Imagine you can see it in your mind what would it look like? Feel your magic dance around you in the air, become one with it." He said as he closed his eyes and started to meditate.

I tried again and this time I did what he said and we meditated for hours. Loke then helped me with my stamina and building my strength. I swear I think loke was harder on me than if I trained with Erza, he made me run up and down this huge hill with huge trees (A/N: think of the forest in harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban when they are hiding from Professor Lupin after he transforms) over and over again with rocks tied to my feet. I know i'm going to be sore when I get back to the cave. At least Virgo brought my bed for me to sleep on after everyday of training. On my way back to the cave I heard running water and went in that direction finding a little river of water. At least I have somewhere I can wash up now. Heading back to my new home sore from everything I collapsed on my bed then grabbed my toiletries, a towel, and pajamas and headed back to the river to clean up.

Stepping in the water it was surprising warm and relaxing, I started to wash my hair and then washed up the rest of me carefully noting bruises on my ankles. Once I got out and got dressed I made my way back to my home gathering firewood on my way so i can get to starting my dinner. Today has been eye opening, tomorrow hopefully I can learn new spells to get stronger.

As soon as I finished eating I went straight to sleep.

Waking up screaming and in a cold sweat is not how I prefer how to wake up every morning. Sitting up I tried not to reflect on the dream trying to forget it as I got up today. Getting dressed and made my way to the clearing not bothering with breakfast. I was too antsy I couldn't stand still so I just wanted to get started on training. Calling out Loke instead of capricorn I needed to move. Sensing my distress he started telling me to run but this time i had to carry as many heavy rocks as I could. This continued throughout the morning when I dropped one he made me carry two more along with the one i dropped and start over again. Soon I was exhausted and couldn't run anymore and sat down to rest. Hours later I was calm and less antsy enough to call out capricorn to meditate. It continued like this for the next month.

Laxus POV:

The Raijinshu and I just came back from a job, when got to the guild I was surprised to not see blondie there. She should've been back by now, I would never admit it out loud but I like blondie my team has often caught me staring at her. But when I walked into the guild I didn't see her anywhere I was there the day she went out on that mission I just hope nothing happened to her it's been a week and a half since she left and i'm starting to worry. Walking over to bar to get something to drink dismissing the Raijinshu I called over Mira signaling her to come over when she was done.

"She isn't back yet I'm kinda worried and she hasn't contacted you or master?" I heard the little bluenette say. What blondie isn't back yet? Where the hell is she?" I listened to their conversation carefully so I don't miss a single thing said

"No, not a word. I hope she is okay, I'll check with master when after I serve Laxus, him and the raijinshu might want to know what's going on too. Go get Cana, Gajeel, and Lily and meet me up at his office I have a bad feeling about this but I want the rest of Lucy's friends to know if something happened to so we don't have to repeat the same thing. Wendy and carla are on a mission so is happy with Team Natsu so we will gather those three and tell them when they get back." The she-demon barmaid whispered. Then she made her way over to me and got my order already knowing what I want explaining what was going on. Not Knowing I heard everything. Now I'm even more worried than before. I hope she is okay. 'Please be okay blondie' I thought. After that I caught the eyes of my team and made my way up with the she-demon, the drunk, the bookworm, and metal head with his exceed following me. When the Raijinshu made their way over to us we all went into my grandfather's office. The She-Demon knocked on the door and we heard a faint "Come In" before entering. Being the last one to enter I closed and locked the door.

"Master, we are a little worried about lucy's whereabouts. She was supposed to be back last week but she still isn't here, I know the mission she took was easy so I know for a fact that she wouldn't have had a problem on it but I'm worried that she might've run into trouble on her way back" The She-demon said I looked at Gramps face and saw sadness in his eyes but it was gone a second later as if he were trying to hid something from us. Just the one glimpse of that made my brain go into over-drive with possibilities of her being in trouble, and or hurt. I had to force my mind to stop and pay attention to my grandfather's next words. I noticed he muttered an incantation to make his office sound-proof before he spoke.

"Lucy has left the guild." He said. I didn't know words like that could have an affect on me so strongly but they did. I barely notice the gasps and the cries of outrage along from the guys with crying from the girls around me. I didn't know what I felt but I know that i wish I'd never felt it again. It felt like a piece of me died for some reason and I don't know why. I had to force my lightning now to crackle all of my body when I heard his next words.

"She left because besides everyone in this room and Happy, Carla, and Wendy, she was being ignored by everyone in the guild, and got kicked off her team with Natsu calling her weak. I should've punished that brat but she told me not to and that it wasn't their fault that she was also told me she left something in her old apartment for you guys didn't say what though, but she said levy would know where the spare key is to get in. Since the place is still her's for this month. She went to train for a while but I don't know when she is coming back." He finished sadly. Around the room you could see the tears falling off of the women's faces while all the men wore shocked and sad expressions. After a good half hour when everyone was calm enough we left out gramps office and made our way out the guild and headed to blondie's place.

The bookworm stooped down and grabbed a key from under the "Welcome" mat and opened the door. We all looked around her apartment seeing nothing in the kitchen most of her pots, utensils, plates and bowls were gone. In her bedroom her bed was gone and every thing from her bathroom was too. The bookworm called out that she found something and we all made our way to her. She held up 3 letters One labeled with all of our names, one for Team Natsu, and One for the entire guild. The one that had our names on it read.

"Hey guys,

You've probably noticed that I'm not back from my mission well I'm not coming back at least not right now. I realized that I need to train and become a stronger better mage so I can do better in supporting my spirits and still have enough energy to fight myself during a battle. I'm tired of always getting saved and being the women in distress. I want to be the Hero this time, I want to prove Team Natsu, My father, anyone who doubted my power, all of Fiore really that I'm a strong mage. i want to get better I want to do this for me. While I'm away I know it'll be hard but don't hurt Natsu or anyone of Team Natsu who forced me to realize that I actually need this. Yes that flame-brain called me weak but trust me i'm going to Make him eat his words when I return. Just keep smiling and don't be sad if i find out that you've been miserable this whole time I WILL beat you up for disobeying my order to enjoy life and be happy, and when I come back you guys can be angry with me for leaving and I know I deserve it. But I love you guys.

Mira: Don't and I mean don't hurt them okay, I forbid you to use satan-soul on them. I know everyone except Lisanna and you guys deserve it but don't it'll be okay. Just stay smiling and when I get back you can scold me about leaving you there, but after that I want to hear all the gossip on what's been going on around the guild while i'm gone. Oh, you and freed better be together when I get back" The she-devil smiled and blushed having tears in her eyes as she read the letter since bookworm couldn't from how much she was crying.

Cana: Girl if i find out that you're sober at any point I'm going to throw a huge barrel of alcohol at you and force you drink it. We've grown closer since what happened on Tenrou Island and you're like a sister to me so please don't be upset that I'm gone when i come back You and Bickslow better be together I know how much you like him." For the first time that I saw anyway the drunk actually blushed at the mention of bickslow and her and smiled with tears in her eyes.

Levy: I promise you I'll finish my novel and when I return you can read it and decide if it is good enough to be published yet. Don't stop reading ever BOOKWORM UNITE lol i'll miss you levy-chan. when I get back you and Gajeel BETTER be together. I swear you and him are oblivious on how much you like each other." I'll miss you lu-chan the book worm whispered.

.Gajeel & Lily: please be there for levy guys I know she'll need it. Lily never stop your love for kiwis and watch out for gajeel for levy. Gajeel if you dare hurt my best friend i will skin you alive when i come back i swear i will, but look out for her for me will ya. Also man up and tell her how you feel already. If you guys aren't together when I get back I will team up with Mira and plan how to get you guys together." Gihi alright bunny girl jeez even through a piece of paper she threatens me.

Wendy & Carla: I will be back wendy I would never leave you forever, I'll miss you two. Wendy you are like the little sister I never had and you've grown up and gotten so much stronger much since we've first met. I'm so proud of you, Carla please look out for wendy for me and please just give Happy a chance he won't go away ya know ;)."

Happy: Don't blame natsu okay, he's still your best friend. I'll miss you, you stupid little neko. Keep up giving carla fish I'm sure she'll crack one day and accept it. Never stop being happy, Happy.

Laxus & Raijinshu: Hey Sparky, I know we haven't talked often but you aren't so bad once people get to know you. Just don't shock anymore too bad while I'm gone lol. Evergreen I'm going to miss you a lot, I loved have time to have girl talk with you just like wendy, cana, and mira you're like a sister to me. Freed it was fun talking to another person who loves books just much as levy and I never stop reading. You're like a brother to me and take care of mira for me ;). Bickslow never stop being yourself (which apparently is a huge pervert)." Bickslow laughed at that lolling out his tongue. "I want you guys to look out for laxus for me even though he say he doesn't need it we all know he does." I scoffed at that "yeah blondie because I need looking after" I thought

I'll really really miss you guys please don't cry, and don't go looking for me this is something I have to do on my own. I don't know for how long that I'll be gone but when I come back you guys still better be there. Love you guys, see you when I get back.

Sincerely,

Lucy Heartfilia.

"I can't believe she left" that's all that kept going through everyone's minds. Soon every one went walked out of the apartment and went our separate ways. I told my team that I was going home then used my lightening body to get home faster than walking. All I could do when I got in the house was go to my room and stare at the ceiling as I layed on my bed. The following days I did the same thing but realized gramps probably had a lot of paperwork waiting for me back at the guild so after a week of not going I finally went and put an impassive face on and walked in during the middle of one day. The guild was just as busy, loud, and rowdy as any other day but that's because they don't know what they did to blondie. The only people who weren't their usual self was blondie's friends. I saw Wendy, carla, and happy with sad faces. Looks like someone informed them on what happened to lucy. I made my way up to my office making eye contact with the Raijinshu then made my way up to my office where I willing went to do paperwork.

(Time skip 4 months cause I'm tired as heck and lazy)

No One's POV:

People in the guild are finally starting to realize that someone is missing. The first one was Lisanna she noticed 2 months ago that lucy wasn't here and that no one has seen her in a minute she asked the mira where she was and she told her the truth and that she left. She wasn't the same after mira told her why she left. Lisanna has been sad ever since and wishes lucy would come back while she sits with Team Natsu quietly with Natsu's arm around her. He seems not too worried about where lucy is it's like he has completely forgot about her for some reason. Lisanna wants to tell them about how they made lucy feel and that she's not apart of their guild anymore but lucy's wish is that everyone finds out on their own that she is gone. Mira let her read team Natsu's letter. She told lisanna that she doesn't blame her for anything that it was bound to happen. She wants her to be happy to and she's seen how her and natsu look at each other and that she understands that they were always meant for each other. That she wants to come back home when she's stronger so she can really feel like a fairy tail mage. She told her about how she shouldn't cry because she will be back soon and they can hang out and have a girls night with levy, cana, mira, and evergreen. After reading that she just wanted to find Lucy and cry and convince her to come back, but she know lucy wouldn't like that and mira forbade her to go look for her which made her sadder. She could tell that friends that stuck by lucy were pretending to be happy but she could see the worry and sadness in their eyes and they would barely talk to anyone but them selves. Her sometimes in that group, they would talk about the good times they had about her or they would just stay silent not wanting to voice the thoughts that were troubling them. The guild seemed different from when she transported to edolas all those years ago. They were still family but they had forgot all about one of the most important people ever. The light of the guild Lucy Heartfilia.

Lucy's POV:

It's been about half a years time since I left the guild. I've gotten stronger and I'm learning how to use my swords and daggers. My spirits have been a huge help they've supported me through all of this and i know i can always count on them. The were always more that friends to me they were My family just like Fairy tail was/still is but right now I just needed to find my own way in life. I needed time to discover who i am, who I want to be, and what I want to do with my life. I'm glad I'm not alone, I'm glad I have them. Something felt different about today I don't know what but I know something big is going to happen, I can feel it.

A/N: Okay I hope you guys can forgive me with taking so long. I'm now starting a schedule so I will write a new chapter every week and post it every Wednesday. If I write two chapters that week then I'll post it over the weekend following that Wednesday. Anyway I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Read & Review please thanks guys
