I sighed, its been quite a few weeks since I've been in the forest. My clothes were just a little to tight for comfort, and my blonde hair looked brown. I shuddered at my

memory of what had happened at fairytail , the reason I was even here in the first place.

***Flashback***

I opened the doors of the guild ,"Im back" I shouted.

I stopped short from walking any farther, there was a dark aura surrounding the guild." Hey guys." I nervously whispered, my words hung in the thick tension.

Every pair of eyes surrounded me until Gray spoke up, " What are you doing here." I fidgeted with my skirt ," I just finished my mission ."

"Lucy why would you come back,is it just to further shame us by your weakness, hell I bet you ran away crying during your mission." this time it was Cana who

spoke."W-what do you mean." I stuttered. Why were they being mean, even if it is the truth."Yeah i bet she did run away screaming " laughed Mirajane."M-mira"."Oh look

she's gonna cry again." piped Wendy , with a malicious tone. Erza's voice boomed," Trash like her should be obliterated."there was a eruption of cheers when she said

that."Death is to good for scum like you." no no no."Natsu, no, not you too", I pleaded. When i turned to face him there was a sharp pain across my face, i fell on the floor

holding the side of my head." hehe looks like yall were right she is starting to cry again", Natsu laughed at me."Nat-" i was cut short when a foot connected to my head

snapping my head back,"Shut up." he growled. That started a frenzy of: feet,fist,and magic.

Throughout it all I said nothing until Erza came at me with her sword raised. Pain erupted throughout my body. I screamed as she sliced her sword through the flesh around my legs. I then got up , limped to the door, but before i got there a blow to my back sent out onto the street. " Don't EVER come back, we don't want trash like you."

My tears were falling freely now but you could hardly tell because it started to pour rain. I stood back up, and hobbled down the street towards the train station. I was gonna

get as far away as possible form the guild. When i got on the train i fell onto the seat, every passenger staring at my wounds." Oi Blondie what happened to you?" i turned

and saw Sting Eucliffe staring at me with a smirk on his face. " You look like you fought a pack of wolves." he said jokingly." Or a pack of fairies ." ,I murmured unaware he

heard me. A flicker of sadness overtook his face but it quickly vanished.I tried to sit up, bad move , because when i did a wave of dizziness overcame me and i

passed out , the only thing i remembered was of Sting's panicked voice,before my head hit the seat, this time i didn't get back up. When i had woken up i was in a

hospital covered in bandages from head to toe. A nurse came in and was surprised to see me sitting up, holding my aching head." Oh so your awake " said the nurse.

"Um what happened?" i said hoarsely. " Well a young man dropped you off here saying you had gotten badly hurt from doing a mission in your guild, is that right?" Not

even close."Yeah that's what happened." After that i stayed in there , finding out i was in Crocus, for a few weeks until they decided i was better, then i was free to roam. I was

afraid of them finding me: In a town,on a train, at a restaurant. I was petrified of them so much so that i endured walking in the forest getting mud all over me.

**************** present time

I was ,walking, and walking but my feet went numb, i sighed again. I was so dirty. I wandered off of my set path into the actual forest, stopping occasionally until i found

a natural spring. I stripped off my clothes, and laid them to the side and slipped into the water."Ah", i moaned , it felt so good to finally wipe away all of the dirt and grime.

I ducted my head underwater scrubbing the dirt away. After i was done i laid against the side of the lake, happy i washed all the dirt away, when i heard a rustle come

from behind.

I turned around to find Sting standing there , staring with wide eyes." OH MY GOD!" I screeched.
