Neko: Welcome back! Thanks for giving me feedbacks! I have a clue on how to make it at least a little better now. I'm a newbie at this so please don't be too mean.
Natsu: Heh! That's what you get Neko.
Neko: Lucy! Natsu is being mean to me!
Lucy: Natsu! Quit bullying her! *Gives him an Erza glare*
Neko: Arigatou! Enjoy minna! I'll be back later!
Ch2: Leaving
Lucy POV:
I turned around and saw Loke standing there. For a minute there I wished it was Natsu who called out. "Loke, what are you doing here?"
"I sensed that you needed comfort, so I came," Loke explained.
"I'm alright now… I think. Oh, and thanks for bringing me back here when I fell asleep out there."
Loke POV:
'That's weird. I didn't bring her back here? Who brought her back? Was it Natsu? Gray? Erza? Or someone from the guild?'
"Hello? Earth to Loke. Are you still there?" Lucy said waving her hand in my face. I snapped out of my thoughts when she did that.
"Oh, no problem Lucy. So, what happened?" I saw Lucy at the verge of tears when I said that. "Sorry, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
"No… I want to say it," Lucy replied. Then she told me the story about what happened ever since Lisanna came back. I was so mad. I wanted to punch Natsu in
the face so hard. 'What the heck Natsu! How could you! Not just you, but everyone else the guild. What happened to you all?'
Lucy POV:
Loke punched the wall and made a big hole. "Loke, it's okay. I'm mad too, but they were the ones who taught me what a real family is. A real family helps each
other out. A real family never gives up on each other. They love each other. They're even willing to sacrifice their lives for one another. They were my real
nakama and I could always rely on them for help, but now it's different. They don't need me anymore. I was just a replacement. Now that they have one of
their loved one back, they don't need me anymore. I feel you Loke. I just want to stomp right up to Fairy Tail and slap them all in the face. I want to scream and
yell all my feelings out. All the things I've kept bottled up inside. My feelings towards Natsu and how sad and desperate I am, but will they even notice me?" I
started to cry even more and fell to my knees. Then Loke wrapped his arms around me.
"Lucy. Don't worry. I'll be here for you when you need a shoulder to cry on, when you need a punching bag, and when you need someone to yell at. I'll be right here," Loke smiled.
"Arigatou Loke. I think I'm ready to let it all go now. I want to leave Fairy Tail. I want to get stronger. I want to start new. I want to prove them wrong that I'm
not as weak as they think I am. I'm gonna go tell master right now!"
"Lucy wait!" Loke screamed.
"What?"
"You're planning to go see master like that?" Loke questioned.
I ran into the bathroom and washed my face. I looked at the time. It was only 5:47 right now. Then I dashed out of my apartment as fast as I can so no one
will be at the guild yet. I heard Loke yell out, "good luck!"
I was at my destined place in no time. It probably took me 5 minutes to get there. 'Yes! I'm getting faster! All those solo missions paid off!' I pushed open the
door and saw Mira wiping cups and Gajeel cursing in the shadow. 'Did something happen to him or something? Oh… maybe it was Levy-chan.' I smirked. Then I
walked over to Mira.
"Hey Mira! Is master here yet?" No response. "Mira? You there?"
"Oh, Lucy. I didn't notice you there. What did you need?"
"Is master here yet?"
"Oh yeah! He's in his office. Did you need something?"
"No. Nothing really. I just needed to talk to him." Then I walked towards the stairs. I climbed up carefully. I don't know why, but my stomach's been hurting a
lot recently and I've been feeling sick some of the days. I knocked on the door and I heard master say, "Come in."
Master's POV:
Lucy stepped in. I was surprised because she usually never comes in here. Heck, nobody usually comes in here. Plus, I can tell she was crying because her
eyes were red.
"Did you need something child?"
"Master, I want to leave the guild."
"But, but why? Don't you like it here?" I was on the verge of tears.
"Of course. I love it here. But I think it's time I leave. I've been ignored for 2 months and was kicked out of my team because I was weak. I think I need to
leave for a while to train and clear my mind," Lucy explained to me.
I was so disappointed. Disappointed in everyone, especially Team Natsu. "Lucy. You are strong. Probably one of the strongest person I've met my whole life.
You keep everything to yourself and you don't disappoint people. You are strong on the inside and outside. So please, don't leave."
"Master, I must leave, but I promise you I will come back."
"If that is what you wish my child. I have no choice but to do as you say. But I must take your guild mark away." She nodded and reached out her hand. I
moved my hand above hers and the guild mark slowly disappeared into magic dust.
"How long will you be gone?"
Lucy replied, "Probably a few years."
"I see. Please keep in touch okay?"
"Of course Mas-, no Makarov," Lucy answered. Then she left. 'Please, come back safe.'
Lucy POV:
I walked down the stairs and pain attacked me. My stomach hurted so bad. I winced and saw that almost everyone was here already. Everyone but Team
Natsu, Lisanna, Wendy, and the exceeds. 'I guess they're all out on a job or something.' I just walked outside and waved, "Sayonara."
I got home and packed my bags. I called out Virgo to help and as always she said, "Punishment time, Hime?"
"No! Just help me with packing." When we finished packing I told her to take all my stuff and put it in the spirit world. She nodded and left. Then she popped up
again, "Punishment now? Hime."
"No! Just go back already!" Then she left with a poof! I sat at the desk and wrote letters addressed to Natsu, Erza, Gray, Levy, Happy, Wendy, Juvia, and
Gajeel. When I finished them, I left them on the desk and left. I proceeded to the railroad station. I bought a ticket for Hargeon. I missed that place. The place
where I first met Natsu and the place where Genji Island was at. Genji Island was an island my mom gave to me when she died. I've never went to that place
before. I got on the train and heard some familiar voices leaving the train.
Neko: How was that? I made it just a little longer this time!
Lucy: You know. I think I like this story so far! Good job! Keep it up!
Neko: Arigatou Lucy! I don't know if I'll be able to write a chapter each day. It's a lot of thinking and typing to do. Plus, I got homework…
Natsu: Quit being lazy! A lot of people are already following this story, so you gotta keep going. Don't give up.
Neko: Okay… We'll see about tomorrow.
