Author's Note- I wish they would have sent out a message about the site being down, but oh well, that's in the past, it's time for the future. The future of Lucy and Wolf's Howl to be more precise. Tell me what you think about the story and what you want to happen.

Thanks for Reading!

Chapter 9: A Fairy's Perspective

RECAP: Theodora finished her long explanation then decided to give a short pep talk. "So, is everyone ready to train?"

The group replied with a shout, "Yeah!"

"Now training, truly begins."The powerful master shouted back, then ran to the library, with everyone in tow.

Fairy Tail hadn't been the same since Lucy left. With time to think about all that happened, Erza, Grey, Natsu, Happy, almost everyone in the guild, really, saw the error in their judgement. Every single mage in the guild missed seeing the smile on the blond's face in the mornings. The spirit that she carried everywhere. And the glow of happiness and joy of being with her family.

Their master, Makarov, had returned that morning from his trip. A few days before, he had announced that he would be gone on a family matter. No body was sure what he had meant, but no one pushed. The guild had been eerily quiet those past few days. No one dared to talk about Lucy, the upcoming tourney, or anything that was connected to Lucy.

Natsu had walked into the quiet guild around noon that day. He had only walked a few steps when he felt a tug on his scarf. The fire mage weakly looked behind him to see a smiling Lisanna. "Natsu! Let's go on a short mission before the tournament!" The white haired girl chirped gleefully.

She had been the only one still fine with Lucy's leaving. That meant more time to be with her man. The two had started going out not long after she had returned from Edolas. When the two had told the guild, everyone cheered gladly, everyone but Lucy. She had put on a forced smile, one that Natsu wouldn't be able to notice, but she had. She had, and that's why she didn't like Lucy. Lisanna could tell that Lucy had feelings for Natsu, and she was not okay with that.

"Lisanna." Natsu couldn't believe that his girlfriend was smiling at a time like this, but he didn't dare raise his voice at her, "How can you be smiling at a time like this?"

Lisanna put on a confused look, "What do you mean? The Great Magic Tournament is only two days away! How can I not be smiling?" Lisanna knew why he was upset. It was Lucy's leaving. But Lisanna was a smart girl, she knew how to play innocent, and she was sure that with time Natsu would be back to normal.

"Lisanna, I know you didn't know her that long, but you should still be upset. One of your family members. One of my family members. A member the whole guild's family, has left, and know one knows where she is." Natsu explained, "Gajeel, Wendy, and I can't even pick up her scent." Natsu finished his complaining, now looking at Lisanna with a glum frown.

"That's just a better reason to go on a mission." The girl started, "Master is back, I'm sure if we explain this to him he'll let us go."

Looking up surprised, Natsu quickly stated, "Master's back?" then ran into the guild. When he got far enough in, he saw Makarov sitting on the railing in his usual spot, drinking." Hey old man!" Natsu shouted. Makarov looked down at the pink haired boy. Natsu shouted again, "Let me go look for Lucy!" At this, everyone in the guild looked at their companion and their master.

Makarov jumped down onto the bar, where he stared at Natsu, choosing the right words to say. When he couldn't, he simply said, "There will be no need for that. I already know where Lucy is."

Everyone gasped. Natsu growled, "If that's true, then we have to go after her! Convince her to rejoin the guild!"

Their master then shouted suddenly, "No! I will not allow that!" Everyone flinched at the sudden surge of rage. Makarov took a few moments to calm down. When he had, he looked up at his children with tears in his eyes. "Lucy is unable to come back. She has already joined another guild."

Everyone shouted at this, a random person screamed, "No! That's not possible." Others screamed similar things. Many just laid with their heads in their arms, crying softly. Natsu let out a roar that rivaled that of a dragon's. Everyone quieted down. The fire mage was seething in anger, heat waves radiating off of him. "What! Tell me their name, I'll destroy the place!" Natsu roared again, much smaller this time, "They must have forced her to join! She wouldn't join another guild! At least not so soon."

Makarov glared at the dragon slayer, calming him down. When Natsu was quiet enough, the powerful mage told, "Lucy joined the guild of her own accord. She was eager to trust them. She wanted a family badly, she wanted friends. Something most of you didn't give her. Especially you, Natsu, you practically threw the friendship between you two right in her face."

Fairy Tail's guild members were hurt by their master's harmful words, but they knew what he said was true. Some members denied all of it, but as soon as the protests began they were quieted by the menacing stares and threatening glares of the others.

Natsu was confused. What had he done that ruined their relationship? He demanded an answer, "How did I do something like that? I want to know!"

Makarov, glaring at Natsu once again, shouted at the teen, "By announcing your relationship with Lisanna, that's how!"

Natsu's anger flared once again, "Are you blaming Lisanna?"

The master of the guild shouted again, his anger raising as well, "No, I'm blaming you! You were careless with your words! It had been obvious she had strong feelings for you! But with only a few words, you shattered those feelings! Shattered them like a broken window!" Makarov finished, his anger had been released.

Again, everyone in the guild gasped. Levy, standing in the corner thought, Had they really missed that! I can't believe them!

Natsu started denying the accusations. Unable to believe them, he fell down to his knees. "No. That can't be true. There's no way. It can't be!" Natsu continued to mumble, denying the thought.

At this Levy snapped. She briskly walked up to where Natsu kneeled, and, in one swift motion, slapped him with all her strength. Natsu fell down onto the floor, shocked by what just occurred. The members of the guild were shocked as well. Levy yelled at Natsu, who was defenseless on the floor. "Are you really that stupid? I can't believe you! After all the time together, all the missions, you hadn't even noticed? You were her partner!

"Did you even know that, for almost two weeks after you and Lisanna became a couple, Lucy didn't come to the guild? That she only had sleepless nights? No! You were off having fun!" Levy finally finished her tirade on Natsu, but then turned to look at Grey and Erza, "What about you two? Did either of you two ever visit her? Did you even notice?" Erza looked down at her feet ashamed. Grey, however, looked on, a scowl on his face.

Lucy and the events from the other day were fresh in Levy's mind, so she next turned to the rest of the guild. "And the rest of you! None of you thought about Lucy's feelings! You only thought about your selfish desires and greedy thoughts about being number one again! You all disgust me! Ugh!"

As Levy finished her downpour of insults, she sternly stomped out of the guild and into the city of Magnolia. Gajeel quietly followed suit, wanting to comfort the girl he secretly loved. All mouthes were tightly shut for several minutes after that. Mirajane broke the silence first, asking her master a question, "Master, please tell me, what guild did Lucy join. I wish to go talk with her about what's happened."

The old mage looked up at Mirajane glumly. "I will tell you the name of the guild, but I ask that you do not go to see her. She needs more time before that." Mirajane looked down at Natsu with a disappointed look on her face, he was still lying on the floor. "Lucy is now in the guild Wolf's Howl." Makarov paused for a moment, glanced down at Natsu then sighed, "Do not be sad, I know the master of the guild quite... well. Ahem! And I'm sure we will see them at the tournament, anyhow."

Mirajane gave a small smile, then went back to cleaning the bar, looking forward to the chance to see the blond again. Makarov returned to his spot on the railing and began drinking again. The silence continued for the rest of they day.

Author's Note- Sorry this chapter is so short, pretty much a filler chapter for the rest of that day in the story. I try to make each chapter at least 1500 words. I got close to with this one, but I just couldn't figure out where to put anything else. Also, I didn't want to make Lisanna act like a bitch, but I couldn't think of any other way to put her in a story like this. Please don't hate on Levy either, her, whatever you want to call it, scream fest I guess, is something easily understandable so I don't think I acted her out to badly. One last thing, if you don't like how Chapter 8 went with the time flow training thing, I don't either, but it's a crucial part of the story so I had to include it
