'Ello!'
'Stop being weird your freaking them out!'
'Shut up Gajeel your the creepy one with all the piercings'
'Oh now you've done it you annoying B*tch' *chasing after me while i'm running away while crying*
'Laxus HELP MEEEEEE!'
'No way. I will only acknowledged the strong, weak people are nothing.'
'What you saying i'm weak, HUHHHH!' *standing on my tipie toes trying to intimidate him but still being a whole lot shorter*
'Ha, you weakling he is saying you are weak! HAHAHAHA!'
'Gajeel, you don't have to repeat him. You guys are so mean, I hate all of you!' *crying in a corner*
'Yeah whatever, you're still weak.'
'You don't have to say it again Laxus' *Still crying in my corner of shame and gloominess*
'She doesn't own fairy tail just the ideas for her stories.'
'Yeah my awesome story!'
'Your story really isn't that awesome though.'
'Why are you so mean Gajeel.' *crying in my corner again*
Chapter 1
Silence enveloped me, the piercing sound of absolutely nothing sent shivers down my spine. I had been used to it, for nobody had been bothered to talked to me for what felt like centuries to me. The ear-splitting silence came after she came back. The first week it hadn't bother me so much but after a couple weeks of being ignored, brushed off, and feeling as if I didn't matter to the ones that I loved anymore, depression hit me. It took me further into the shadows and the corners of the darkness. I had tried to talk to them but they just brushed me off and seemed too busy obsessing over Lisanna, their precision namaka, the girl who stood up from the death. Yes, that is how it went when their long lost dead friend returned to them, Lisanna.
I started to think that maybe I had just been a replacement for her when they had all thought that she was dead. I wallowed further into the shadows of the world. Leaving the light that I gad lived in for my past few happy years in Fairy Tail. Covering up my sadness and hiding my feelings with that absolutely fake smile that had plastered itself upon my face. I was just a ghost to them. Non existing but still there. No one able to see me. I remember the day that I thought that they had acknowledged me clear in my mind. It had turned out that they had done the exact opposite. That was the day that my heart shattered into a million pieces. The day that I had been broken by them beyond repair.
(flashback)
I slowly opened the door making little noise. Even though I scraped my throat and plastered that fake smile of myself upon my face while loudly calling out my hello, and looked expectandly at the people that were still partying or Lisannas return. No one said hello back, they didn't even look up. My shoulders slumped down as if they were carrieing a heavy weight. With my head bowed while dragging my feet across the ground I made my trudged towards the bar. I sighed as I threw myself down in my usuel seat at the bar, glancing over my shoulder as I did. I saw the table where I used to sit with my friends. They were all grinning and laughing loudly with joyful expressions on their faces. Ezra was sitting next to gray on one of the benches. Her gorgeous scarlet hair tucked behind her ears as a warm smile covered her face, she was looking at Lisanna who said something that she laughed at. 'She never used to smile like that at me', this thought was stuck in my head and plaged my mind. Gray looked content although he was sitting in only his boxers, for he still wasn't rid of his stripping habit. He laughed loudly togheter with Ezra, something which was rare for Gray to do but became more and more frequent since Lisanna's return. Natsu who was sitting opposite of Gray had one arm slung over Lisanna's petit, fragile looking shoulder with the childish grin that he always wore, it was like looking at a ray of sunshine. I really did love his smile. Too bad that I couldn't see it anymore. They were all laughing happily and I wasn't needed anymore, they had back what they had lost and had thrown away the thing that had replaced her for awhile. I felt a tug at my heart as that thought crossed my mind. I shouldn't think that way of my nakama. I let my feelings go as I sat on the seat that had become mine after the couple weeks. I let my head fall and it connected with the rough wood of the bar with a loud thud. I felt a satifying sharp pain shoot through my head. I wasn't needed Lisanna was back.
I lifted my head slightly as I heard footsteps comming my way.
"Hey Marajane." I said with fake happiness to the mage who was standing behind the bar looking intensely at her younger sister who was still chatting away with what used to be my friends. She didn't seem to acknowledge me while she still stared caring at her sister. A motherly and warm look was in her eyes as the corners of her mouth were tugged up into a smile. I yearned for my mother as I saw the look in her eyes.
"Marajane," I said a bit louder than last time, "Marajane, can you hear me?" I asked loudly, waving a hand in front of her face.
"Hhme." She answered absentmindedly. I waited patiently till she slowly but surely looked towards me.
"Oh, hey Lucy. I didn't see you there. What can I get for you sweetie?" cheerfully smiling at me.
"A glass of water please." She looked at me for a while with blank eyes that could have belonged to those of a zombie till it finally seemed to get through to her. After about 20 seconds of standing there in silence looking at me sheepishly she finally moved to get a glass of water and filled it, while still lookig over her shoulder towards her previously reborn sisther. When she put it in front of me she was already staring at her little sister her full attention on her again a small smile gracing her lips. I stared sadly at my glass of water as it dawned to me that no one needed me anymore.
I felt a tap on my shoulder and I nearly tumbled out of my chair through the surprise that someone was actually seeing me, and wanting to talk to me.
"Yeeze Luce, jumpy aren't you." I looked at the owner of that voice. Natsu was grinning at me his soft pink hair hung slightly over his eyes as he looked at me as though I was the biggest idiot ever to have come into existence. I grinned as I saw him. He was talking to me. He was aqtually talking to me after those 5 months of solitude and loneliness.I felt so happy, it was like I finally could see the sun again afther a great storm, my whole world was lighted up again. Someone had come to me and talked! I looked up at him curiously as for what he was going to say.
"What's up Natsu?" I asked with true happiness in my voice.
"I actually need to ask you something pretty important, if that's okay with you." he said a slight blush covered his cheeks and he ran one hand though his hair.
"Kay." I answered with curiosity.
"Well since Lisanna is back we were thinking that the team and Lisanna should have a few missions. I mean get the old team back together. Ezra, Gray, Happy, Lisanna and me." You mean I'm not needed anymore." You can go on solo missions from now on or find other people to team up."You mean you don't want to see me anymore." It'll be good for you. I mean you can get stronger" You mean I'm weak right, right Natsu?" Ezra thinks it would be good for you to become stronger." Are you saying that Ezra thinks I'm useless and will just get in her way."And Gray thinks it will be a good way for you to toughen up you act." Do you mean Gray thinks I cry easily."So that was the plan." He finished his sentence with a huge lively childish grin on his face. As he said those words the sincere smile that had finally come to my lips after so many weeks slowly left my face and it felt like someone had punched me in the gut with iron gloves on and then stabbed me in the back while slowly twisting the knife and then thrown me in a pot of freezing water only to pick me out of it and slowly burn all my skin off. "If that's okay with you of course." Natsu said quickly as if it was an afterthought. They were kicking me out of their team, if I liked it or not they were doing it anyway. It was final, they really didn't want me anymore I had indeed just been a replacement for them to soothe their grief.
"Are you serious." I heard Marajane say exited. I looked at her and saw her , not you too. Please understand how much it hurts. Please... "That's amazing, don't you think so too Lucy? Everything will now really go back to how it used to be!" Are you talking about the way it used to be before I joined? She was smiling at me expectedly hoping that I would go off team Natsu and go solo for a while. While my mind was screaming 'NO, No, can' t you people see that I dont want that!' I felt tears prick behind my eyes daring to spill. It hurt so much, so, so much. But I couldn't help but force a small and awkward smile on my face and say.
"Sure! I think going solo is a great idea for me. And you can all go back to the time before I was part of Fairy Tail, right? Because that's what all of you seem to want so much." Natsu looked a bit confused as I said the last sentence but didn't think much of it. He just started grinning and said.
"Thanks Luce, great talking to you again." After that he turned around and started running back waving his hands exitedly to the table where all the others were waiting to see what my answer was. They looked at Natsu and started grinning as he gave them a thumbs-up. Lisanna jumped up excitedly and huged Natsu as he picked her up off the floor and twirled her around. They were laughing like idiots. Then finally Natsu slowly moved his face closer to Lisanna's. He closed his eyes and pressed his rough lips against her soft delicate ones. The guild erupted into howls and catcalls also some Go For It Natsu. I stared at them trying to hold back the tears as my heart was being ripped out of my chest and stomped on. A single tears slid down my face.
"Yeah great talking to you again." I murmured as I stood up from the place I had been sitting and dragged my feet home. Ones I was in the comfort of my safe bed I started sobbing. I didn't care that my make-up got ruined as the endless waterfall of tears streamed down my face.
'So that was the first chapter of my story! Did you guys like it?'
'They probably hated it and it's probably full of spelling mistakes and stuff'
'SO WHAT IF IT IS IT'S ABOUT THE STORY NOT THE SPELLING AND THE GRAMMAR! BAKA LAXUS!'
'Hey Gajeel, are you crying?'
'No I'm not' *tears steaming down his face in little rivers* 'It's sweat from my eyes, IT'S SWEAT MANLY SWEAT!'
'yeah, I don't think so. What do you think Laxus?'
'He's definitively crying.'
'Why'd you have to be so mean to Lucy! Just because you are stupid doesn't mean you get to be mean to Lucy!' *Gajeel pointing an accusing finger at me*
'I don't wanne but I have to for the story to work.' *Walking over to Gajeel and hugging him while crying too*
'You are both weak people.'
'WHAT YOU SAY LAXUS!'
'Whatever, people please review, she needs advice and she needs it fast (and I think that she needs a lot of it) otherwise she'll just end up writing such a horrible story it will burn your eyes. So please review.'
'OMG LAXUS, you are so mean.' *running towards Laxus (still crying by the way) and jumping on his back* 'Meany, meany ,meany!'
*Laxus grabbing me and trowing me to the wall* 'Whatever you're just weak, and by the way I think you permanently broke Gajeel.' *Gajeel still sobbing in a corner while rocking from right to left*
'Just Remember people, review.' *Me pointing down to the review button*
'Till next time!'
