Hey peples! What? Don't ask... anyways, we are coming close to the end of the balckmail story, another four chapters, and garanteed MEGA NALU! At the end :)

Previously/Lucy's latest letter stated that she had to become friends with Felicia as well as Sting, could Felicia be the one writing them? It also, heartbreakingly stated, that she had to de-friend Natsu. Stuck in a dilema of obba being hurt, and not being able to tell the boy she loves her feelings, what shall she do? On another matter, what the hell are the elders on about?

"No!" I accidentaly shouted, as I finished reading the letter. My mouth was open in horror. Why him?

Because my blackmailers hated me.

They were being a frenemy. They stopped me having to say goodbye to him, but in the most horrible way possible. They were making me make new friends, and giving me dresses, mixed signals.

The pieces didn't fit, they had to be someone who could be with me at all times, listen to my darkest sercrets, and want me to suffer before bringing me back. One of my hypotheses, was that my father had hired someone, and that someone was having a little fun with me. I tore up the letter in anger, and threw them in a corner of the room. I had to do this, for obba.

After a long shower, I walked into my room, it was dimy lit, but relaxing. I walked towards the windows, but I unfortanetly saw him.

Natsu.

Waving at me.

Grinning.

My expression didn't change, and I closed the curtain, without even returning a smile as I usually did. God, I hated myself.

I slept without a nightmare, or a problem. When I woke up, I walked automatically to the curtains, to open them. When I did, I saw Natsu, waiting at his, it was open. He looked up when he saw me, and waved again. Do not attempt to pass a message to him. I just stared, expression unchanging again, and walked away. Once again, my hatred for myself amplified. I got ready for the day, knowing how boring and absolutely shit it would be, but I had to do it. God knows what they were doing to obba. The door bell rung. I breathed in, and walked towards it. To my relief, only Cana was there.

"Morning Lucy, why weren't you here yesterday." She said.

"Long story, how's school? Oh, I didn't see the time, we need to hurry." I said.

"Why didn't you wave? You always wave?" Natsu said, as we walked out from behind her. She smiled apoligetcally at me, she knew she had been hiding him. Be the most hostile you can towards him.

"Oh, I forgot...my book...go without me, I'll catch you up." I said, mainly to Cana. I closed the door in their shocked faces, and sat down. I heard them:

"What the hell?!" Natsu said.

"Dude, calm down. She's probably just tired." Cana said.

"What on earth have I done? One moment, she's smiling all the time, next, she completely ignores me! What is this? Mood swings?" He said, still angry.

"She's probably just on her period." I was gonna kill Cana.

"Still...somethings not right. And I'm dead if she doesn't speak to me..."

"Why?"

"A bet I made."

Once I was sure they had gone, I walked at a fast pace to school. I got there before the bell rung, and tried to find my next target. Sting. He was easy to find, lounging around the lockers.

"Hey! Sting!" I said, waving at him. He looked up, slightly surprised.

"Lucy-chan! To what do I owe this pleasure?"

"I just wanted to say sorry, for being so cold the other day..." I said, once I was next to him.

"That's okay, I was a bit...touchy feely, you could say."

"I guess."

"Say, would you like to have lunch with me today? We've never really had a proper conversation."

"Sure, I'd love to!" I said, smiling. "I just need to go and see someone, I'll see you later."

"Sure, oh, here's your boyfriend. Hi Natsu-kun! What's up?" Sting said, over my shoulder. I turned around, and saw Natsu grinning at me and Sting.

"Yo. I'm good, you?" He asked Sting.

"Fine."

"I'll see you at lunch." I said, before turning the other way.

"Wait, Luce?" Natsu asked. I stopped, my back still to him. "Do you remember on Monday, when I said, I'd say who she was by the end of the week?" He said. "I'll tell you, but do you remember our promise?"

Break his heart.

"Of course I do. But you see, I'm not interested in who your crush is anymore, so why don't you just go and tell her and stop pestering me." I said, in my most perfect vocabulary ever, and then walked of. God, just kill me already. I was such a bitch, I hated myself for doing that. I walked to the gym, where I presumed Felicia would be, and sure enough, there she was.

"Felicia?" I asked, as I walked in. She was still on the mat, doing the breathing exercises.

"Lucy, I thought I had already made my opinion of you clear." She said, stopping, and standing up.

"Yes, I know, but, I wanted to try becoming a member of school life."

"Oh really? To do that, you have to be a model student, and unfortanetely, you have one flaw."

"What is it?"

"You're a friend of Natsu Dragneel's, and that means misbehavior."

"We're not friends anymore." I said. She raised an eyebrow.

"Is that so? You two are unsepearable, why the change?"

"Stuff." I said. She crossed her arms.

"Well, Lucy, I do think there is an opening for a second student representative on the school board, since he just quit. I'll see what I can do, but in return, be a model student. Meet me at the library after school."

"Okay, thanks Felicia, you know, you're actually a nice person." I said, smiling, and to my surprise she smiled back.

I walked to class, Physics, excellent, Levy time. But when I sat down next to her, she was giving me a funny stare.

"Hello?"I tried.

"Good morning. Why aren't you talking to Natsu?" She asked. I sighed.

"I am."

"You know what I mean." She said. I sighed again.

"It's complicated. It's not that I don't want to not speak to him, it's that I can't."

"I don't understand."

"I can't tell you. But I just can't, and I feel horrible."

"Lu-chan, you are having a serious case of PMT."

"Levy-chan, I promise you that I'm not affected by any tension caused by the menstrual cycle." I said. "Could you not tell anyone what I just told you please? About not speaking, you know..."

"Yeah, sure, but I think it's because you like him."

"That doesn't make any sense."

"The fact that you like him doesn't." She said, and we started giggling again.

The next part of that day I was dreading was drama. If I was intent on doing the job to the full, I would off changed role, but being Juliette meant I could look Natsu in the eye, and right now, that was as about as close to him I could get, so I was happy when Mira came to warn me about the upcoming extra class.

"Lucy!" She said, as she called over to me. I turned around, and thankfully saw her smiling at me.

"Hi, Mira, what's up?"

"I just wanted to tell you that we have an extra drama class coming up."

"Oh really? Cool!"

"And, I trust you know your lines?" She said, giving me her death stare.

"Uh...yes?"

"Okay. Also, one last thing..."

"Yes?"

"Why are you ignoring Natsu?" She asked.

"Did he ask you to ask me?" I said, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes." She answered. I sighed.

"Can't he just except the fact I can't speak to him?" I said. The letter didn't say that I wasn't allowed to say that.

"No. He can't, Lucy." Mira said. Something in her voice added another crack in my heart."All of us know how close you two are. You've told each other secrets, and helped each other, and you've been there for each other. We all know you like each other-"

"Don't even go there!"

"And to see you, not together, it's awfull."

"Why is it so awfull? I've only been here four weeks! I'm new! There isn't a place for me in the group you've created, I'm just a pushover!" I said, students started looking at us.

"You're not." A voice said. I turned around, and saw Natsu, closing his locker. I should of remembered where I was going... "You're anything but a pushover. Do you know what effect you've had on all of us, being here? You obviously don't, because you weren't here before. But, why can't you speak to me?" He asked, walking next to Mira and me. I looked down at the ground.

"Because. I can't. I'm-" No, I couldn't go that far. Saying sorry would be breaking the rules. I shook my head, and pushed pass him, running of to the library, but he held my arm.

"Lucy! Wait!" He said. "I know this isn't just some dumb fight, I know there's something serious, tell me what's going on, I can help!" I shot him the most mean look I could summon.

"You don't know anything. Let me go." I said, and pulled my arm out of his grip. I had to take it a step further, I had started to know my blackmailer, and I knew that this had to be done, now, or they wouldn't be satisfied. "You really think something serious needs to happen for me to ignore you?" I said, smiling, devilishly. "You're wrong, I don't need you anymore, why should I bother with a pest?" I said, his eyes widened in disbelief, and his knees gave way. I looked down at him, half mocking, and half pitying. "Pff, pityfull." I said, and walked off. I felt Mira's stare boaring into my back.

I walked off, to the girl's toilets, where I locked myself in a booth, and cried. His disbelieving stare, and his eyes, they were stuck in my mind. I had caused that, I had caused that hurt, and I had caused him to get sad. I called myself names, hating myself. I heard the doors to the toilet open, and I hurriedly stopped sobbing, took some tissue, and wiped my tears away.

"Lucy?" A voice asked.

"Felicia? What is it?" I asked, unlocking the door and walking out.

"Another letter for you. I'll see you later." She said, handing me the envelope and walking out.

I swore out loud, and walked back inside the booth. I tore open the letter. A little bottle was enclosed in it, it rattled with pills.

Dear Lucy,

You weren't supposed to say you couldn't, you have disobeyed. Your maid was hurt badly. But also, your performance just now was excelent, so here are the changes.

You have three days left in Magnolia before we take you back, and we also want to do a bargain with you, it's in your adavantage, you'll be able to say goodbye to Natsu Dragneel, if you don't mind getting hurt...

Remember, three days. Is he really worth it? Will you take our bargain?

Next chapter, pain, tears, fainting, dreams, and a wake up that wasn't expected...
