Chapter 4 Training And Tears Of The Sky

Timeskip: 3 months after Lucy Disappeared

Wendy's P.O.V

¨Lucy..¨I couldn't bear to say her name after what I found...

*Flashback*(a week after Lucy had died)

A little blue haired mage was skipping down the road, heading to an apartment before stopping with a shocked celestial mage's apartment had a rent sign in front of it!Wendy quickly ran to the land-lady and asked her where Lucy was.¨The little brat just off and disappeared, never came back so I'm selling it.¨Wendy quickly picked up Lucy's faint scent and found herself at the top of a cliff,looking down and gaping as she saw blood.

¨No...¨was the only word she could muster as she sunk to her knees and burst out into that day I always went and put fresh flowers at her grave everyday.I grew distant from the guild members,refusing to speak and taking dangerous missions by myself to come back with scars or fatal wounds.I don't care though, Nee-chan would be proud!If she was here..

*Flashback End*

And that's how I am now, sitting in a dark corner by myself,glaring at anyone and everyone that dares come near.

¨Lucy...¨ ...¨Please come back,I need you...Please...¨

I walked to the request board and snatched a mission,tears streaming down my face.I placed it in front of the bar-maid and banged on the looked at me pitifully and stamped the paper,arguing was no use. I grabbed the paper and began walking out.I passed Team Natsu and they called me over but I just shot them a hateful glare and walked out.

¨I'm so glad I quit the team...those...those..¨The blast of the train interrupted my thoughts as we pulled away from Magnolia.

¨I wish you were here Lucy-nee...¨

~Meanwhile, At An Abandoned Forest~

Lucy's P.O.V (Same time as Wendy's p.o.v)

I was running laps around the entire forest, avoiding trees,jumping over pits and hills,climbing up mountains and swinging from vines! I was the girl Tarzan,except that I was in a forest and I wasn't raised by monkeys.

Over the one week time I had improved my speed and stamina greatly,I could now run 160 mph for 35.25 miles while dodging obstacles without using magic!(Me:GO LUCY,GO LUCY!)I could also easily blend into the forest and shadows,especially since I wore camouflage clothes!

(Random)Timeskip: 1 hour after punching tress

I was quietly punching trees (Me:How can you PUNCH TREES quietly? Lucy:AG...Just get back to the story!)when I heard a large deafening roar behind me and turned around to see a ginormous red scaly dragon.

¨ROOOARRRRR!¨The dragon looked very familiar when I suddenly realized who he was!

¨Hi Igneel.¨

The dragon looked down at me with surprised eyes. ¨I know you from your son, I used to be in the same guild as him.¨I and Confusion flashed through the fire-dragon's eyes as he transformed into his human form.

¨Lucy?!¨

Igneel's P.O.V

¨Lucy?!¨I asked the rusty haired girl.

She nodded and smiled.¨Looks like you can recognise me, even if I'm no longer myself and we've never met..¨She smiled sadly.

¨What do you mean, not yourself?¨I asked curiously,humans could be so confusing sometimes,how can you be yourself but not be yourself?!

¨I mean that my spirit is in a different body as in this one, my real body committed suicide and went jumping off a cliff.¨ She replied sadly.

¨COMMITTED SUICIDE?!¨I screamed, (Kids please don't commit suicide,you won't be as lucky as Lucy)So that's why she looked different, but SERIOUSLY?!SUICIDE?!

¨Why?!¨

¨Because ¨She put her head down ¨I was replaced,ignored and unloved...what purpose would I have in the guild?In life?¨She looked up at with pain-filled eyes brimming with tears. I said nothing, I had never known that kind of pain before, to be replaced by the one's you loved.

¨Exactly.. probably don't even know that I existed.¨The tears flew down her face faster and formed a puddle on the ground.

¨You said you met my son Natsu the fire-dragon slayer, didn't he help you?!You're his BEST FRIEND,didn't he stop you?!¨I pleaded.I was desperate to know at least he would try to help!

She laughed bitterly, tears streaking down harder ¨Best friend?Me?HA...sorry to disappoint Igneel but at this point I doubt he would know or care what would happen to me,besides I'm not his mate if that's what you think.

¨BUT...WHO...WHY!?¨ I was bursting with anger and confusion so hard that steam came from my head!I'LL BEAT YOU TO A PULP WHEN I GET THERE SON!

¨Igneel?¨I looked up to see her eyes looking at me with concern.

¨I'm FiNe!¨ I exclained, but inside I wanted to RIP my SON to SHREDS! (Me:GO IGNEEL,KILL NATSU! Igneel:ROOARR Natsu:STOP GIVING HIM IDEAS!)

¨His special someone and best friend is Lisanna. Lisanna Strauss.

¨WHAT?!¨ Me the ALL-POWERFUL FIRE DRAGON IGNEEL WAS FREAKING OUT!¨NO,NO,NO,NO!¨I screamed running around in panic!

¨Igneel.¨

¨THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING! THE FUTURE,HIS FUTURE,MY GRANDKIDS!¨

¨IGNEEL!¨She yelled.

¨What?!¨

¨Calm down,it's ok,I don't mind.I'm over it,besides I have to get stronger!¨She wiped off her eyes and pumped her fist in the air.

I sighed loudly ¨Do you want me to help you?¨Rusty (Lucy) looked at me surprised. ¨Really?¨

I nodded and her eyes immediantly lit up before she jumped on me! ¨Thank you so much Daddy Ig!¨She hugged me tightly.

¨AAACH...CHh¨I couldn't breathe at all,how strong was a human female's grip?!She let me go and apologized. ¨Sowwy Daddy¨ She Put her puppy-dog eyes and apologized.

¨You're welcome and it's fine!¨She smiled and hugged me again.¨When do we start training Dad?¨She asked eagerly.

¨Right now Rusty!¨ She pouted at my nickname but broke out smiling. ¨All right, Let's get this fire started!¨She pumped her fist in the air,her eyes set in determination.I laughed and turned into my dragon form. I could tell this would be a lot of fun!
