Sixteen - Lucy Heartfilia
It was an unfortunately rainy day. Lucy watched the drops stream down the window as she waited for school to end. As soon as the bell rang, she joined Levy, Jet, and Droy on their way to book club. They couldn't use their homeroom, like they usually did, because art club was meeting there. Their club activity for the day was to find a new place to meet.
"We could always meet at the house," Lucy suggested. "Since we all live there anyway."
"That's true," Levy agreed. "Plus, almost no one will be there for a few hours since they're still here."
With that, they set off, towards Fairy Tail, umbrellas open above them. When they got closer to the house, something seemed wrong. Lucy noticed that the door was hanging off of its hinges. She gasped and ran forward, followed by the others. Things were strewn about and some of the windows were smashed in.
"What happened?" Jet asked angrily.
"I'll go get help!" Lucy said, running back towards the school, ignoring the rain. The first people she found were two members of the karate club. Perfect. "Natsu! Gray!" she exclaimed, running up to them as they prepared to fight each other. "Where is Headmaster Makarov? Someone broke into Fairy Tail!"
"What?" they asked in shock.
"Who?" Gray asked.
"I'll kill 'em!" Natsu shouted.
"What did I just hear?" Makarov asked, entering the dojo.
"Headmaster Makarov!" Lucy said, turning to the old man. "I don't know what happened, but Levy, Jet, Droy, and I went back to the house and found it torn apart!"
"Let's go," Makarov said, leading them out.
They were joined by most of the other Fairy Tail kids as they walked. The house was in the same state Lucy had left it in when they arrived. Everyone was surprised and upset, but Makarov tried to calm them down, telling them they could fix it. Lucy wondered where Levy and the others had gone. That's when she saw figures lying in the street.
"No!" she cried out, running towards them.
Everyone followed her to find Levy, Jet, and Droy lying in the street, beaten and bruised. Levy had a strange symbol painted on her stomach, which was visible because her shirt had been torn, but was running slightly from the rain. As everyone moved forward to help their friends, Makarov seethed. He was practically shaking with anger. Gray took a closer look at the mark painted on Levy.
"It's that gang, Phantom Lord," he spat.
"Those bastards are going to pay!" Natsu shouted, looking around as if to see where the culprits were.
"Destroying my home is one thing," Makarov growled. "But my children... How dare they... This... This is war!"
Lucy knew Fairy Tail to be very dramatic, but she knew this situation was different. This was a serious matter. Someone called Porlyusica, the school nurse. Technically, she was a doctor, but she didn't want to work at the hospital, so she just helped out Makarov. Lucy stayed with Levy, Jet, and Droy as everyone else followed Makarov to find out where Phantom Lord was.
She hoped they didn't get themselves into any trouble. She had grown so attached to them over the past several days. They were so kind to her and accepted her so readily into their home. She started to cry. Why would anyone attack Fairy Tail?
"Gihihi," a voice laughed.
She started to turn around to see a tall boy with too many piercings, and a girl with a big parasol, which was unnecessary indoors.
"Who are you?" Lucy demanded. They looked like bad news. "Get out of here!"
"Are you Lucy Heartfilia?" the guy asked.
"Juvia thinks so," the girl said.
"Time to go," the boy said.
That was the last thing Lucy remembered.
