Chapter 1

Lucy's P.O.V

When Lisanna returned, everything changed. She was a nice girl and she had the loveliest, bubbliest personality out there. She's always smiling. But something about her presence made me nervous to a point where I can't be around her. The atmosphere around her was so different to anything I was used to. It was almost as if it didn't suit her personality. I didn't like her. Because of her I was abandoned, hurt and neglected by all my friends and family! At first it was tolerable, laughable almost but even Natsu ignored me. Natsu. Someone who cared so much for his nakama, a boy who can comfort you with his goofy smile. But he stopped smiling at me and smiled at Lisanna instead, he stopped speaking to me, instead he spoke to Lisanna. He hadn't acknowledged my presence once in the 6 months she had been home for. He stopped coming over, I keep the window Natsu regularly entered through unlocked and sometimes in desperation wide open but he never came. Natsu had always been someone special to me, after all he's the reason I got to join Fairy Tail in the first place! When my father died it was Natsu who cheered me up, when Gajeel beat me it was Natsu who saved me. When I came home from a tiring day at the guild it was Natsu who would always wait for me in my room. It was always Natsu, not Gray or Erza or Wendy or Cana. Natsu. But he abandoned me and soon enough the whole guild treated me like an outcast with the exception of Wendy Marvell. It didn't take me long to realise I was just a replacement, someone to fill the gap made when Lisanna supposedly 'died' after all Mira had always said I looked like her younger sister. But the thing is, she's back and they don't need me anymore. No-one needs me. After all, who needs a weakling who hides behind her Celestial Sprits on their team? I'm a poor excuse of a mage.

Rogue's P.O.V

Sting was walking 4 paces in front of me as he lead us back to the guild, Lector was walking beside him while i carried Frosch in my arms. I let my mind wander but I snapped back to reality when I heard Sting's voice calling my name

'Oi Rogue do you smell that?'

I nodded in response and rolled my eyes when Sting ran ahead, looking down at Frosch i showed him a smile not even Sting got to see. I quickened my pace trying to catch up with Sting but stopped in my tracks when I saw him and the source of the scent that had attracted both Sting and I. He had a death grip on a girl that looked around our age. She had long blonde hair with a black streak in it that ran down her back and curled as it reached her waist. She wore a burgundy cropped corset, blue ripped denim shorts with chains on the right side of her hips and burgundy lace up wedge ankle boots. On the left side of her hips I noticed a brown leather pouch and an ordinary whip.

'Look Rogue! I found a stray neko!' said Sting

I sighed and let Frosch climb onto my shoulder.

'Sting let he-'

To my surprise the girl kicked Sting in the stomach shouting 'Lucy Kick!' causing him to lose his grip on her arm and fall to the ground. She got into a squatting position next to him and smirked.

'First of all slanty eyes, i'm not a cat but a girl, second of all did I give you any permission whatsoever to lay your grubby fingers on me?'

She got back up and turned to me smiling, I noticed the dimples she had when she smiled which added to her beauty.

'I'm Lucy Heartfilia a Celestial mage, I recently left Fairy Tail but that's a whole other story! It's nice to meet you!' She held out her hand and I took the chance and shook it making my heart stir slightly.

'Hello Lucy, I am Rogue Cheney and this' pointing at Sting 'is my partner Sting Eucliffe, I apologise for his rude actions'

She smiled at me and shook her head 'It's okay! I get it all the time!' She laughed and rubbed her arm.

I noticed her wrist was bruised and immediately glared at Sting 'Did Sting do that to your wrist?'

She looked startled and her eyes flickered to the ground 'U-um no! It was actually my friend Natsu that did that Rogue-kun'

No-one said anything for a while until Sting bursted out laughing

'Sh-she called you Rougue-kun! HAHAHA' Lucy glared at him 'What of it Stingy Bee' I laughed silently as I watched them bicker.

'What are you doing here anyway?' I asked her

She smiled at me and replied sadly 'Well I actually recently left my guild so now me and my sister are looking for a new guild to join, she says she found one called e-eto what was it called again?' She scratched the side of her head 'Sa-sabertooth? that's right! It was Sabertooth! But I don't know where it is' Sting and I just stared at her with wide eyes.

'This blonde chick is joining Sabertooth?!'

'Hey you're blonde too! And why is it a bad guild? Should I not join?!' Lucy responded. A worried expression fell on her face. I sighed 'No no it's a great guild we'll show you the way' I told her. She grinned at me and nodded

Previously Lucy P.O.V

After summoning Plue I walked to the guild balancing myself along the edge of the river. 'You understand me right Plue?' I looked at the shaking Spirit and sighed.

'Puun-puun!' was his response, I smiled and looked around, I saw the fisherman I had come to love and waved at them.

'Please be carefull Miss Lucy! It's dangerous!'

'Yes I'm-' I suddenly lost balance and crashed into the river the piercing coldness nipping at my skin, the air was knocked out of me, my throat started to burn and my eyes grew heavy.

'Lucy! Wake up! Luce!' Someone was calling my name a voice so close yet so distant.

'N-Natsu?' I started to cough and hot tears threatened to fall.

'Shh it's okay Lucy' He sighed and looked away 'It's me, Loke'

'Loke?' I flung my arms around his shoulders and sobbed into his chest, he rubbed my back soothing me and used his magic to dry me. He the picked me up bridal style and said 'Lucy don't you ever scare me like that again' I simply nodded and let my thoughts drift as i fell asleep

Loke's P.O.V

I walked towards the park where I made my contract with Jenny, it was still the same as it was back then. There were two large oak trees on either side of a beautiful crafted bench with a plaque that read 'In memory of Jenny Realight a Blue Pegasus Celestial mage'. It was spring so there were cherry blossom trees everywhere around the park. The sky was clear and the sun was shining down warming up the earth below me. 'Princess would you care for a drink?' After getting no response from my master- no friend. I looked down and saw she had fallen asleep. She looked so calm and but you could see the bags under her eyes from lack of sleep and they were noticeably red and puffy from crying. Even so she looked beautiful yet almost child like at the same time, Lucy had this look about her that just screams 'I'm innocent!' no matter what she wore but she could still be sexy and mature looking at the same time. In other words she was perfect. I set her down underneath the shade of the right Oak Tree and sat beside her protecting her from any lurking perverts. I growled at the thought. The wind picked up slightly and I could smell her unique scent, another thing I liked about her. She always smelled of vanilla mixed with strawberry's and cherry blossoms. I had so many reasons to protect Lucy, first of all by contract and law I have to but also because she is the reason us spirits can be at peace, she makes us feel loved, she doesn't see us as tools but as her friends. Lucy is strong, much stronger than Jenny at such a young age too. The night I was destined to disappear forever she summoned all her spirits and even the Spirit King himself. She's the strongest Celestial Mage I've ever encountered in my was the night Lucy Heartfilia changed my fate.

Normal P.O.V

'Lokeee, Lokee' Lucy sighed. She had woken up to find Loke sleeping beside her in the park. He stirred and slowly opened his eyes. 'Come on Loke it's getting dark we still need to get to the guild.' she said. The sun was setting and Master had asked her to come to the guild more frequently, he was the only one who noticed her absence. Lucy and Loke walked to the guild in silence. Upon their arrival, Loke decided to return saying he didn't want to drain any more of her magic. She walked into the guild and forced a smile onto her face. 'Ohayo minna!' No one noticed and she sighed sadly but kept on smiling a smile that no longer reached her eyes. She took her usual seat by the bar.

'Mira could you get me a glass of water please?' She smiled at the beautiful Satan-Soul mage.

'Mira this, Mira that you're always asking me to do things for you! Why don't you get off your lazy ass and get it yourself!' Mira snapped at her. She clamped her hands over her mouth as soon as she realised what she had said to the Celestial Mage. 'Lucy i'm so-'

Lucy pushed her chair back as she got up, interrupting Mirajane. She hid her eyes behind her bangs and bit her lower lip trying to force back the tears. 'Since no-one wants me here, i'm leaving.' She grabbed her keys and headed for the door. As she was about to leave Natsu entered through the same doors she was going to exit through, hand in hand with Lisanna along with Gray and Erza. They stopped her dead in her tracks.

'Lucy' Natsu said harshly. Lucy didn't fail to notice he had dropped the nickname 'Luce' he had given her.

'Oh hey guys, I was just leaving.' Lucy replied faking a smile.

'Umm actually we need to talk to you about something' Natsu stated while scratching the back of his head. 'It's important' Lucy raised a brow at him but never the less let him continue. 'Actually, how do i say this, we've been thinking. Maybe you should leave Team Natsu, you're pretty weak and it annoys us how we have to save your sorry ass all the time. It's well, shameful.'

Shameful. Weak. The words rung in her head as the tears once again threatened to fall. 'What are you talking about Natsu? You're joking right?'

'He's right' Erza piped in 'You're a nuisance'

'All you do is hide behind Loke, i feel sorry for him' Gray mumbled.

'You're messing with me right?! TELL ME YOU'RE JOKING THIS ISN'T FUNNY ANYMORE GUYS!' she screamed.

Lisanna stepped forward and glared at her. 'Don't you dare snap at Natsu like that! He's nothing but nice to you as well as the rest of Team Natsu!' She exclaimed.

Lucy glared back at Lisanna and shouted 'Nice?! You call this nice?! For the past 6 months everyone in the guild has neglected me!' She looked Natsu in the eye. 'I used to love Fairy Tail, everyone here was my nakama. Fairy Tail was my home, my family! Fairy Tail taught me that nothing can come between the bond of nakama! This place was my second home i felt welcomed here, like I was actually wanted for once! But i guess i was wrong because you're all just a bunch of hypocrites!' Tears poured down Lucy's face as she broke down in front of the guild.

'Luce-' Natsu started

'Don't you dare call me that!' Lucy screamed. Lisanna raised her hand and delivered a full blown slap to Lucy's face. Levy just stared with wide eyes while everyone else sniggered. 'You bitch!' Lucy screamed

'Get out Lucy! NOW!' Natsu shouted. He grabbed her by the wrist and dragged her outside. 'Just go home you dirty whore come back when you're ready to apologise to Lis!'
