Dear Fairy Tail,

I don't really know how to put this… I'm not entirely sure what happened myself. Nonetheless, I will explain things to the best of my ability, because I owe all of you at least that.

I've always had people after me because of my family. Even after my father lost his fortune, people have still attempted to kidnap me for my name and whatnot. I always kept these episodes from you guys because they were very sporadic and I could always handle the men that came after me. Mostly it was just weak, greedy wizards or wealthy men. However, a few days ago (at least I think it was a few days ago) there was another incident, and the mages were too powerful. They caught me when I was alone in my apartment, while Happy and Natsu were on a mission and my landlady was out of town. They climbed in through the window that Natsu always uses. I didn't stand a chance. They knocked me unconscious, and when I awoke, I was in a dark room. I couldn't make out anything; my head pounded terribly. I don't know how long I'd been asleep or where I was. I drifted in and out of consciousness a few times, though I don't remember exactly.

Then I woke up in the driver's seat of a car, similar to the one Edo-Natsu had, except with an SE plug. Taped to the steering wheel was this note:

Blondie,

We have no further use for you. You may use this car as you wish for the next 3 hours. After that, it will explode. If you or someone on the outside tries to open one of the doors, it will explode. If anything is done to get you out of this car, it will explode. There is nothing you can do but accept your fate. Nothing personal, it's just business.

So here I am. There is a timer mounted on the dashboard that currently reads 1:07:42. I have one hour left to live. I have already driven the car to an empty field so the explosion won't hurt anyone. For my last hour, I shall write to you all.

In case I don't have time to write to everyone personally, I'll address everyone here. I am so sorry. Words cannot express the remorse I feel. You all meant the world to me, and I was just a bother for you. Someone was always there to save me though. Even through that Phantom Lord mess. I was a new member of the guild but you all put your lives on the line for me without a second thought. You are what got me up in the morning. The thought of hurting any of you is what kept me from running away. You always supported me. You always put a smile on my face. I love you all more than I can write, and I hope that you all live long and happy lives.

With so much love,

Lucy
