Chapter 5

Author Note- Hey! Unfortunately I'm still having writers block Q _Q but I'll try to make this chapter good! Thanks for reading my story even though it's super bad ^_^ Slight hint about there being NaLu.

No Ones POV- Fairy Tail

Everyone's smile was forced. There laughter hollow and fake. There once shinning eyes were dull and full of regret. All of their energy drained. They resembled zombies. Bags under their eyes, skin pale, eyes red and voices hoarse.

This was what was left of Fairy Tail…It had only been a month since their celestial mage left them and it was hitting them hard.

All of Magnolia could feel the tension in the air. Fairy tail mages who didn't know Lucy too well attempted to bring the joy back while others just simply left the guild.

Natsu spent day after day training non-stop for when they finally found where Zeref was. The rest of team Natsu (including Lisanna) only took missions that had something, anything to do with dark magic or celestial magic. In the hopes to find Zeref or Lucy.

Natsu's POV

I quickly scanned the request board for the hundredth time that day. Sighing when I once again found nothing useful.

I felt empty. I didn't feel sad. I didn't feel angry…I didn't feel happy or jealous. I didn't feel anything. I couldn't sleep but I couldn't stay awake. I couldn't speak but I couldn't stand the silence. I couldn't laugh but I couldn't cry. The only thing I felt…was pain. Stabbing me continually in the chest until it was just another part of everyday life but it never stopped hurting

When Lucy left a month ago she took my heart and soul with her. She took everything that made me, me. I didn't even realise how much I needed her…until she was gone.

"Natsu!" an excited voice broke through my thoughts. It was Lisanna, and Erza and Gray were with her too, but what was shocking was that they were smiling. They haven't smiled all month…so why know.

"We found Lucy!" Erza jumped with glee. The great Titania Erza looked happier than Juvia when she spotted Gray, and that was saying something.

"Where is she?" I muttered, glancing over their shoulders to see an empty space. The slight hope I had disappeared in an instance. The stabbing pain in my chest grew.

Lisanna was the one that answered "She's not coming back Natsu…She joined Sabretooth"

The guild was silent. The pain kept growing until it was unbearable. I let it all out. I didn't care that I was in the middle of the guild. I didn't care that everyone was staring at me. My face was damp with tears and hands drenched in blood. Her words echoing in my mind.

"Hi, I'm Lucy Heartfilia, thanks for saving me earlier" (when Nastu and Lucy first met) 'Ever since we met'

"I don't want…to run away by myself, because no matter what, I'd rather be together with everyone else" (Phantomlord arc) 'You trusted your guild'

"Natsu!" (When she jumps from phantom lord guild tower)'You trusted me'

"Someone like you, someone who'd shed tears for their friends…will always would be welcome in the Fairy Tail guild" (tower of heaven arc, Lucy and Juvia vs Vidaldus) 'you cherished your nakama'

"But they feel pain! They have feelings! And yet you call yourself a Celestial Spirit Mage?"(Oración Seis) 'You cared for everyone and felt their pain'

"I'm the most powerful wizard in Fairy Tail!" (Edolas arc)'You always smiled even in the hardest times…'

"It's always more fun when we're together" (Tenrou island arc) 'You kept smiling'

"Now apologise to Marshall and bring Natsu back!" (Key of the starry sky arc) 'Through the pain you fought'

"I can't betray everyone's feelings. That's why…there's no way I'm gonna give up!"(Grand Magic Games Arc) 'Right till the end…even if no one else heard you, I did'

"You had so much kindness. You trusted us so much. You would've given your live to save your Nakama. Even after we hurt her so much! How could we have been so stupid?!" I cried my voice slowly rising in volume.

I didn't care that people were telling me to stop. I continually punched the wooden floor. Wood stuck out of my hand, blood dripping down creating a small pool. I released all the anger, sadness, and regret.

"I'm so sorry…Lucy" I whimpered. My punches died down long enough for Gray and Erza to grab my arms. Restricting me from punching the ground again. I didn't care anymore. I felt nothing, even the pain was gone. I was hollow.

Lucy's POV

I've been at sabretooth for one month. I'm still not an official member…yet. Minerva has trained me in hand to hand combat, with some help from Leo. Virgo has helped me perfect my skill with my Fleuve d'étoiles. Capricorn has helped increase my magical ability and Sting a and Rouge basically just supervised and gave me advise.

I'm quite proud of myself. I can summon all my zodiac keys for hours and can push Minerva back in hand to hand combat. I can even beat Sting and Rouge in a magic fight, but I always have trouble when they gang-up on me.

I don't know why but my amount of magical energy has been growing more than it should in the short time I've been training…not that I'm complaining or anything.

"It's time" Minerva cheered, interrupting my thoughts. She does that a lot. Not gonna lie it gets really annoying.

"Time for what Minerva" I questioned in my usual bored tone. I haven't gotten very excited lately, every day was the same thing. Training.

"Today's the day you finally join Sabretooth!" She squealed excitedly. Minerva was the opposite of me. She found everything exciting.

"Cool" I said half-heartedly. Don't get me wrong I'm happy but…I'm also really nervous. What if they don't accept me!? I know that since Sting became guild master everyone's a lot nicer but…what if no one likes me because I used to be in Fairy Tail. Minerva, Sting, Rouge and maybe Yukino are the only ones that I know will accept me.

"What's with the face" Sting interrupted my thoughts. I forgot to mention. He does that a lot as well. I'm not going complain this time through. I didn't even release I was pulling a face! I'm so pathetic…

"So where and which colour?" Sting held up the Sabretooth guild stamp. I wanted it somewhere that could be easily seen and the complete opposite of where I had my Fairy Tail guild mark. Mabey a different colour. Ahhh! I hate making decisions!

"If you want you can just choose where you want it and it'll pick the colour that best suits you" Sting grinned "it's a brand you option we just added."

"That sounds great, thanks Sting" I smiled back "in that…left lower arm please" I smirked at his perplexed facial expression, letting out a slight giggle "what's wrong sting? You wanna say something?"

"It's just that it's not very common, that's all" He goofily grinned. That smile is so familiar to me now.

"Well, what's wrong with being different" I questioned as he stamped my arm.

"Nothing, cool colour" sting pointed at my arm before walking back to his office to put the guild stamp away. My Sabretooth mark was a brilliant gold, merging into the black outlining. Overall, I liked it. Not too girly but not too boyish either and it matched the gold on my black leather jacket and jeans.

"My first day at Sabretooth" I mumbled turning around. God everyone was staring at me! I could feel my palms going sweaty. They must remember when I first arrived…shit.
