*Chapter One*

Lucy cried silently as she moved her folded clothes into the suitcase by her legs. She shook, choking silently on sobs. A fairy tail member could break into her house at any moment. She had to hurry and do this or they would never let her go. They could barely do anything last time Jude hired a guild to attack Fairy Tail. She packed up everything, down to the last book, the last letter to her mother, the last picture from her missions. She took everything downstairs, which surprisingly wasn't that much. She was about to leave when she remembered her book. She hugged it to her chest as she was leaving before shaking her head. She flipped to the last page. On the next available spot she finished her masterpiece.

Nothing ever works out the way you planned, though. Every happy dream must come to an end at one point. This is where this dream stopped dead. The end.

She cried harder as she carried all of her stuff to the guild, which was nearly empty. She put on a smile and wiped her face before walking into the quiet building. She danced back to the bar and set the book on the counter before writing on the dedication page.

To my dearest friend, Levy-chan. You're the first one to read it. Never forget me.

She closed the manuscript before and pushed it to Mira. "Please, only Levy sees that for now. I'm really tired and I'm feeling sick. I might not come in tomorrow, but don't tell anyone. I just want to rest." The silver haired waitress nodded and hid the booklet under the bar. Before Mira said anything, Lucy ran out of the guild. The blonde celestial mage was so close to tears that seeing her bags in front of the guild made the tears flow out of her eyes. She grabbed her things and rushed to the station.

The entire way to her old house, tears fell from her chocolate brown eyes. She pulled out the letter from her father once again and read it.

Lucy. Come home now. There is no need to be so stubborn. You may have said to leave Fairy Tail alone, but why would I when it's so fun? All you need to do is come home again. Just be the good girl you have to be and they don't get their wings plucked. I can ensure that they soar through the sky or plummet like rocks. I'm expecting you. Jude Heartfilia.

She positively hated him, but her love for her nakama was strong enough to help her through anything he threw her way. Even death, she would gladly accept it to help Fairy Tail. So, going back home couldn't be that bad.

Fairy Tail Guild- Morning

Natsu burst into the guild, almost destroying the doors again. He happily walked over to the bar, half asleep still. "Lucy! I need to go on a job soon. Me and Happy ran out of food!" He tripped over Gray's extended foot, though that was the least of his worries. Lucy would have usually nagged him about grammar and her rent, and their eating habits.

"Lucy's not here, slanty eyes!" Gray yelled, trying to cover his own worry. She was always one of the first people here. Natsu whirled around, glaring at Gray and smashing his head against the ice mage's.

"What was that, you brain freeze?" the pink haired fire mage growled under his breath, a deathly red aura emitting from him. Gray smirked, pushing against Natsu with his raven hair covered head.

"I said that you were a moron who should think once in a while. hot head!" The two continued to bicker for a while as the blunette script mage, Levy, read through Lucy's book as quickly as she possibly could. She flipped to the last page and put a hand over her mouth, breathing in a sharp breath. Tears streamed down her face and she cried silently for a moment. After a while, everyone stared at the girl in shock, the book locked in her iron grasp.

Gajeel even got worried. He'd been around her when she read everything, deaths, couples fighting, her favorite ships getting together, but nothing compared to these tears. They were… fear filled. "Oi, shrimp, what's wrong with you? Are you broken?" The girl finally snapped her hazy, dark eyes out of their spot, glued on the closed book. She let out a choked sob and everyone rushed to go cheer her up.

"LU-CHAN!" Levy screamed, the entire guild practically shaking. Everyone covered their ears, though Gajeel recovered quickly enough to grab onto the girl who fell forwards, crying her heart out. Levy cried on Gajeel's shoulder as Mira walked over and Natsu picked up the book, laying on the floor. He flipped through it, looking for any blood or scent of other people, though none were there.

"It's okay Levy-chan. She's just sleeping. She told me so last night," Mira said. Levy shook her head and looked at Mira with a horrified expression before snatching the book and showing Mira the page. She skimmed over the words with a smile on her face until the last paragraph entered her vision. Mira's lip began quivering as tears formed. She fell to her knees and buried her face in her hands, crying as well.

"Lu… Lucy?" Warren asked from the guild board, still standing. He had heard everything from Levy's mind and was trying to process it. He couldn't. None of them could. Not one guild member could possibly gather why everyone was bursting into tears.

"MASTER!" Levy and Mira screamed before continuing into a whole new sob fest. Makarov calmly jumped down onto the bar counter. Levy held the page out to him in shaking hands. Makarov read it… and read it again… and read it a third time. He squinted his eyes and turned his head to the side before lowering his head and stepping back. He stepped off of the bar top and screamed, the fall on his head making him grasp the concept.

"What's going on, ojisan?!" Natsu wined. backed away from Gajeel, who looked worriedly at her. She cleared her throat. She wasn't ready to read it out loud. Then it was definitely real. She opened her mouth and closed it several times before taking a deep breath. Mira shakily stood up and looked over Levy's shoulder, hugging her softly.

"Nothing ever works out the way you planned, though. Every happy dream must come to an end at one point. This is where this dream stopped dead. The end." Everyone stared at Levy, quietly, seeing if there was a 'just kidding!' or 'I got you guys!' at the end. Chaos broke out when they realized it wasn't coming. Everyone raced towards their guild mate's house in search of the girl. Natsu barged in to find her scent was faded. She wasn't here and hadn't been for hours. He rushed after her fading scent and everyone followed behind him; right to the train station.

"LUCY!"
