LUCY'S P.O.V.

"ERZA! NATSU!" I shout as I watch them fall to the ground from exhaustion.

"Ice Make: Ice Cannon!" Gray shouted as he finished the job.

I just sat there helpless watching my friends slump down. I quickly treated them and brought them back to Fairy Tail. I told everyone I was going home for the day. I toke a bath and put my PJ's on. I slipped into bed.

I was running in darkness. I didn't know what I was running from. Just running. I heard someone scream. I turned around seeing Erza falling to the ground with multiple wounds. I tried calling out to her but my voice got stuck in my throat. I heard more cries of pain. Everyone was on the floor withering in pain. I felt something grab my foot. I stopped running and looked down. My friends' corpses were grabbing me.

"Why? Why aren't you stronger? Why do we always have to protect you?" they moaned.

I thrashed around trying to get out of their grip. I couldn't move anymore. Still trying to get free, I moved my head and neck upwards. Than, I was consumed with darkness.

"AHHH!" I screamed.

My hair was plastered to my face with cold sweat. Just a dream. I got out of bed shakily. It was 7:30am already. I grabbed some clothes and headed for the washroom. I thought about my dream.

Am I really that weak? I thought.

I thought about my last mission. I hardly did anything. One hit and I was down.

I need to get stronger. I'll talk to Master today. I thought getting out if the tub.

I put on a coral tank top with a small black coat that ended at my ribs, light wash denim shorts and my boots. I quickly strapped my keys and whip to my belt and headed out the door. About 15 minutes later, I arrived at the guild. Everyone said their usual good morning's as I made my way to the bar.

"Hi Mira. How's Team Nastu?" I asked.

"They're still resting up. Would you like your regular?" the white-haired barmaid asked.

"Yea. Have you seen the master around?"

"He's in his office." Mira said passing me my drink.

I murmured a thanks and drank my vanilla milkshake quickly. As soon I was done, I headed for the infirmary. Team Natsu were on the beds looking pissed.

"Hey guys. Are you feeling better?" I asked.

Natsu's face lit up when he saw me.

"Yea. Just a bit sore." said Gray.

"Sorry. Wendy will be back tomorrow from her job to heal you guys."

"You don't need to apologize Lucy. We're just glad you're safe." said Erza.

I smiled weakly.

"Yea. Thanks guys. I'll see you later." I said waving goodbye.

I quickly walked to the Master's office. I knocked gently.

"Come in." I heard him say.

I came in closing the door behind my slowly. Tears were pouring out of my eyes.

"Master? I-I want to leave." I chocked out.

Pain and sadness masked his face.

"Why my child? Why must you leave?" he asked close to crying.

"I-I need to leave to get stronger. I need to get stronger for my team. Don't worry Master. I'll be back." I smiled sadly.

"V-very well. I need to remove your mark. I will give you a new one when you come back." Makorav was crying. "I suppose that you don't want anyone to know."

I nodded and wiped away my tears. My hand glowed a little and than the Fairy Tail insignia was gone. I said goodbye to Makorav and left his office. I told everyone I was feeling a little sick. I ran all the way back to my apartment. I summoned Virgo to pack my stuff. After she was done that, I went to the train station and purchased a ticket and climbed onto the train going to Spark. (Random. I couldn't think of anything better) A couple hours later, I arrived at the city. I began to daydream and wandered into a dark alley. I didn't realize until I heard someone snicker and whistle.

"Well lookie here boss! It's a girl! One with a good chest too!" I voice drawled.

More laughter. I turned around only to be punched in the stomach. I went flying back a few feet. Clutching my stomach, I summoned Loke (Leo).

"Open, Gate of the Lion, Leo!"

"Yes princess? How may I serve you?" Loke asked kissing my hand.

"Can you defeat the guys over there?" I gasped out still I bit winded.

My magic was running out quickly. Soon Loke was gone and I was left to face the thugs/mages by myself. They kicked the whip out of my hand and began to kick and punch me.

"Even though she's a mage, she's pretty weak." someone said laughing.

Weak? I don't want to be weak! I don't want to be weak! I thought frantically.

I felt something coarse through me veins. I felt my body change. It didn't hurt. It felt natural. I heard people shouting and than everything went black.

LAXUS'S P.O.V.

This city is so boring. I should probably go to the next one. I thought to myself.

I smelt something of in the air. It was coming from a dark alley. I tried to ignore it but crazy laughs filled the air driving me crazy. I eventually gave in and went to take care of the maniacs. When I got there, I did not expect to see them beating a little girl.

She looks kind of familiar... I thought silently.

I was about to go help her when she was engulfed with a slivery light. I squinted and heard shouts of terror. When the light died down a large wolf with silver fur turning gold-ish at the bottom half and silver/blue eyes.

Where did the little blonde go? I wondered.

I looked around. The thugs were on the ground with bites and claw mark injuries. The wolf looked confused and tired. The wolf glowed again and the little blonde chick took the place of the wolf falling unconscious. She fell to the ground limply. My first thought was to leave her be, but I thought about what my gramps would say. I let out a sigh and carried her over my shoulder heading for the hospital. The doctor said that she was fine and would be waking up soon. I grunted and sat next to her bed. I used my thought projection to contact my gramps.

"Laxus?" he said confused.

"Hey gramps. Do you know who this little chickie is?" I asked bored pointing at the girl.

His eyes widened.

"Laxus I don't know what you did-" Makorav began.

"Hold up. I didn't do anything. She was like this when I found her." I interpreted.

He let out a sigh of relief.

"So who is she?" I asked.

"You tried to kill her before." my gramps said sighing.

"Oh yea! What was her name again?"

"Lucy Heartfillia. Now why are you contacting me again?"

My face turned serious.

"She turned into a wolf and beat up a bunch of thugs."

"You're kidding right? Wolf slayers are extinct!"

"Well explain the little blonde chick than."

Makorav let another sigh.

"Stay with her Laxus. I need you to train her. And make sure she knows how to use her power." said Makorav.

"Wha-? Why do I have to train her?" I shouted.

"When she's done her training with you, than you may come back to Fairy Tail with her."

"I don't want to come back! Whatever. I'll train her. That way I get to fight more." I said grinning. I was happy that my gramps would let me back into the guild.

I said bye and waited for Lucy to wake up.

This chapter is kinda short. I'll make the next one longer. Thanks for reading.
