Why hello there my pretties. Next chapter is up. Time for me to have some fun in the next chapters. (As in slowly die as I get constant writer's block) Enjoy!

Lucy's POV (Had recently just joined. The initial sighting)

I sit in the guild. I had just joined. Fairy Tail, it's an odd guild. I sit at the bar when I hear a man name Loke shout. "Erza's back!"

Erza….

I heard Natsu and Gray mention her. They'd go on about a monster of a woman, someone to fear, someone too powerful to handle. It can't be her. She wasn't a wizard. She's kinder than the woman they describe. Well, that was Erza the girl, not Erza the woman. Who am I kidding? Erza's dead. I don't know how but I'm near positive she it.

The door to the guild opens and a silhouette of a woman is all I can see. She holds a huge horn over her head. She walks in and I see her features. I nearly gasp.

"She's really pretty," I say to Mira, the bartender.

Erza puts down the horn and she starts speaking to the members of the guild. She's stern and almost pissed off. About the mistakes they make.

"She may be a bit bossy but she's saner than anyone else in the guild. I don't see why everyone's so afraid of her."

Erza walks over to the bar. She smirks at Mira. "Hello, Erza, I see your job went well," Mira says.

"Yup." Erza sat on the stool next to me. She chats with Mira and orders a piece of strawberry cake she ordered the second she sat down. She loved that stuff. She just seems like the girl I knew. How she talks, her smile, her eyes...well, one of them is duller, doesn't really have a shimmer like the other one does but they still seem like her eyes. The eyes that I'd look into and blush.

Erza's alive. No mistaking it's her. The scarlet hair is the final give away.

It was thirteen years ago that we...started a friendship. It wasn't a relationship, we were friends that were to become a couple. She finally mastered her magic? The knight…

"Anyways, Erza, meet Lucy."

Erza looked at me. I look back at her. "Nice to meet you," I say flatly.

She looks at me. I see the eye that was off lacked a natural shine to it, it wasn't dull like it was vacant, it lacked the shine eyes have naturally, the film over them to protect them. Like the tear glands don't work so it isn't as as shiny as the other. She leans in close to me. "Do I know you?" she asks.

I shrug. She doesn't even know me. Well, she did leave me. Why did I cry over her? Why did I hope to one day find her? What did I expect? For a happy ending? This isn't a fantasy like our mothers read to us.

"You remind me of someone," she says softly. She pulls away.

"Who?" I ask.

"Just some girl...it was a long time ago. I'm positive she hates me, though."

"Why did you stop seeing her?"

"How did you know I stopped seeing her?" She looks at me, curious.

I cringe slightly, but I quickly find something to say. "If she hated you, then she wouldn't be around you."

"I just couldn't...I don't even remember her."

Erza walked out. She's changed a lot.

I look at Mira. "Is she single?"

"Yeah. She's all yours if you want her."

I blush madly. "A-as if!"

"You know she's trouble, right?" I look at Cana. She's a mage who can really hold her liquor. She drinks practically all day.

"How so?" I ask.

"She beats up people who ask her out or she merely breaks their heart. She says she needs to focus on other things besides dating. She's just being a jerk when she does it."

"Or she's scared," Mira says.

"Her? Scared?" Cana asks.

"She's odd...hardly any of us know her past. She looks at things with longing stares, like she wants to know the truth behind it. She reads children's fairytale stories for christ's sake. She probably faced a lot of emotional stuff as a kid…"Mira sighed.

"She looks familiar," I mumble.

"She knows you, you know her, how?" Mira asks.

"I think she was my neighbor," I lie.

"I don't see Erza having a family...I think she was made purely to be strong. She probably was a lab experiment or some sort of living doll they made, why she seems to lack emotion," Cana joked.

"Don't joke like that. I'm positive she had a family. She came here without anyone. She was alone. She was missing an eye and covered in cuts and bruises. I think her family was killed some way," Mira says.

The Floras...they really did die? I thought was just a scenario but it actually happened. I hated Erza all these years but she couldn't control her own future, being so young.

But...why doesn't she remember me? I know it's been thirteen years but, we loved each other. I knew it was her seconds flat.

Whatever...I guess I finally know. But she doesn't remember. What exactly happened to her?

Thank you for reading!
