Disclaimer: I do not own Fairytail

"Lucy!"

"Levy!"

"Elfman!"

These three names were heard all over Fiore. Not just from the people within the guild, but the word had gotten out that three wizards of the Fairytail guild had gone missing and people from all over the kingdom were now on the lookout for the recently lost mages. Everybody no matter who they were if they turned their heads left or right their eyes would meet a "Missing Person" sign and a picture of Lucy, Levy or Elfman would be staring back at them through the white piece of paper.

"Oi Natsu!" Gray called out a few meters behind Natsu, Juvia standing beside him his arm wrapped gently around her shoulders.

Turning around Natsu looked at Gray with empty eyes. It had been two weeks since 'his' Lucy went missing and he has not heard a word about her or her return. Nodding his head Natsu signaled Gray that he was listening.

"Hey Natsu, Gramps said that he wanted to see you in his office but I don't know what it's about, he seemed quite agitated about something. Natsu nodded his head, turned around and started making his way at a dreadfully slow pace towards the Fairytail guild.

"Gray-Sama is Natsu ok?" Juvia quietly whispered to Gray as she watched Natsu sulk away.

"He's just having a hard time; he has looked everywhere and can't find Lucy. Gajeel and Evergreen are having a hard time as well" Gray hushed quietly as he gently tightened his grip on Juvia's shoulder walking away. Ripping her eyes away from Natsu gloom a single tear escaped her eye.

Natsu slumped his shoulders as the regular walk that took him no longer than two minutes now took him what felt like an eternity. Dragging his feet along Natsu kicked the pebbles and little stones that lay scattered across the pathways and roads. "Damn how long till they return?" Natsu mumbled underneath his breath as he turned his vision to the cloudy sky as it reflected his emotions perfectly the once energetic dragon slayer was nothing but a miserable mess. "It's not fair…" a single tear rolled down Natsu's cheek as he stood in the middle of the road looking straight up at the sky. "Why does it have to be her… why can't this have happened to someone in a different guild? Why is it always Lucy?" His tears that had collected at the brim of his eyes threatening to escape and fall down his cheeks had his vision going blurry. Hanging his head back down Natsu continued his journey in the direction of the guild.

Finally reaching the guild Natsu hesitantly opened the large doors the usual quiet sound seemed to be eerily loud as the usually noisy and ecstatic guild was nothing but quiet as a few heads lifted to see who entered only to put their heads back down as they realized it hadn't been any of the three missing mages.

Evergreen was seated at one of the tables with Freed, Bixlow and Laxus. Gajeel was seated at a table close by Wendy was seated close to him Pantherlily, Charle and Happy all sitting quietly. MiraJane and Lisanna were having a hard time as they sat quietly at the bar tables staring into nothing but empty space. Walking towards the stairs leading towards the second floor of the guild where the Masters office was, Natsu's footsteps echoed across the guild the sound bouncing off of everything as no one even moved as much as a finger. Dragging his feet up the stairs he gripped onto the dark wood side railings tightly as he slowly moved his way up the wood slightly cracking underneath his strong grip. Counting the stairs as he climbed up he finally reached number fifteen the last step also the same amount of keys that Lucy currently has. Scrunching up his face Natsu opened his eyes realizing that a single tear had fallen onto the ground, wiping his eyes he slowly lugged on to the single door on the top floor.

Raising his hand he slowly and painfully brought himself to knock on the wooden door, once, twice and on the third time a voice was heard.

"Natsu… I've been expecting you. Come on in" The guild master's voice quietly answered with authority in his voice.

Creaking the door open Natsu peeked his head in and pushed himself through the door quietly closing the door behind him.

"Well you might know why I called you hear, or you could be wondering why I would even want to talk to you about anything at the moment especially with what happened with-'' Makarov started talking only to be interrupted by Natsu abruptly.

"Don't you dare talk about Lucy! Not now! Not ever! Lucy is gone and I can't do anything about it! So don't you dare ever speak a word about her especially in my present at the moment! The entire guild is breaking because of Lucy, Levy and Elfman. Lucy was my life how can you not understand that this is tearing me apart! Please don't talk to me about Lucy! I haven't gotten sleep for an entire week I've been looking everywhere for the past two weeks the entire kingdom has! But guess what no one has seen them or heard about them! How can they just disappear? how can she just leave me?" Natsu snapped, falling to his knees he crouched down on his hands and knees his hands curled up in fists his hair fell over his eyes as tears brimmed his eyes rolling down his cheeks and falling onto the floor.

Makarov couldn't do anything for the vulnerable broken boy in front of him. Minutes passed in silence as Natsu slowly picked himself up in agony, Makarov suddenly remembering what he called Natsu into his office for. "Natsu, this is your choice if you even want to believe me with what I'm about to tell you, it's also your choice if you want to do anything about it but… Lucy came into the guild just a day ago, she left the guild."

Natsu's eyes widened as his eyes snapped up from the scratch on the ground that had seemed so interesting just a second ago. Grinding his teeth together he growled his eyes changing from sadness to anger in mere seconds "Why the hell wouldn't you tell me this?!" Natsu barked out angrily slamming a fist into the wall behind him.

"Now, now Natsu, this was Lucy's choice, she didn't want to see you. She said something about it being easier for the both of you. But she did give me this and told me to pass it on to you as soon as you got here". Makarov held out a piece of parchment paper.

Snatching it out of his hands, Natsu crashed through the doorway running down the stairs as fast as his legs could carry him everything around him was just a blur as people looked up quickly the only word leaving their mouth was "Natsu?" as he zoomed past them and out of the large guild doors.

Racing through the town he reached the bench that Natsu placed underneath one of the large trees in the park that he and Lucy always walked through. Sitting down he stared blankly at the piece of light tan parchment. Flipping it over he saw that Lucy had written 'To Natsu 3' in her gentle cursive writing. Opening the folded letter he started to read the beginning of the letter. Lucy's voice rang through his ears as if she was reading it to him.

Hey Natsu it's been a while huh? I'm really sorry that I couldn't give you this letter in person , I really did want to but they said I couldn't see you. It's been exactly two weeks since I've seen you, I really do miss you there hasn't been one night where I haven't thought about you… heh I almost forgot, tell the guild that Levy, Elfman and I are doing just fine… Elfman will be coming back soon but I can't promise when. I'm not even supposed to be telling you this but I think they are planning something big, it could end in a disaster… they said I could quickly go to the guild just to renounce my position and get rid of my guild mark, so I'm giving this letter to Makarov so he can pass it on to you, because if they found out that I was speaking to you, I'm scared that they would hurt not only the guild but most importantly for me… you. I couldn't forgive myself if because of my mistakes you would get hurt. I just want you to know that I love you so so so much! I won't deny it to anyone at all, if I ever got the chance I would say it to you in person but I can't… next time I see you well if there is a next time I will scream it for the entire world to hear…. And I'll say it again I love you Natsu… Goodbye

Love Lucy

Forever & Always

Tears dropped onto the page as the sides of the paper crumpled up as Natsu tightened his grip the edges ripping slightly.

Natsu snapped his head up screaming at the top of lungs.
