AN. This is my first time writing for Fairy Tail, thus my first time writing in Loke's point of view. I'd greatly appreciate feedback, so if you have anything to help me improve please leave it in a comment. Thank you!

The day Natsu brought that blonde haired girl in was when I knew that fate hated me. It was a cruel joke to place a celestial wizard in my presence. When I saw those keys the face of Karen instantly flashed before my eyes.

I ran, and that's what I kept doing.

I ran from Lucy.

My new routine was working out. Lucy was gone most of the time, off with Natsu, Happy, Gray, and Erza. I knew to avoid the hall when one of them was present because it was a sure bet Lucy would be close behind.

Then we were attacked. Phantom Lord sent their Iron Dragon Slayer to trash our guild hall. Then he attacked Levy, Jet, and Droy.

Fairy Tail fiercely invaded, but retreated in the end. As we stood off against Master Jose's guild once more, weaker than before, I felt something. It was a hunch, and it didn't give me warm feelings inside. I kept fighting though, but the hunch returned. I couldn't ignore it twice.

I rushed from the battle. I hurried towards the warehouse containing Reedus and Lucy.

But I was too late.

She was taken.

Gone.

I should have left immediately after the first hunch, but I didn't.

I was afraid to be around her.

But reflection was futile now. What I had been trying to prevent was going to happen anyways.

Another celestial wizard would die because of my actions.
