Messing with the Heart

Chapter One Running

Lucy couldn't imagine her life without Natsu or without Fairy Tail. Then that day happened. At the time it had made her the happiest person alive. She had given Natsu everything. Her first kiss and more. Everything and then he just left. He ran off on a mission with Happy without saying a word. He told her nothing. He just left. After he had promised her never to leave without telling her first and only if it was absolutely necessary. He just went on a request. Not a mission from the Master. A request just like any other.

Lucy didn't want to believe he left. She waited all morning for him to bound in her window and disturb her but he didn't. She went back to the guild and sat at the bar sulking.

"Hey where's Natsu, Lucy?" Mirajane the white haired mage in her pink dress asked.

"Don't know" Lucy said.

"Really? I thought if he went on a request without you he'd tell you."

"Well he didn't,"

"That's odd. Are you alright about it?"

"I don't care," Lucy said spitefully.

Days went by day by and no Natsu. Everywhere she looked she thought about Natsu. It was a reminder of his false promise. His lie. After a month she couldn't take it anymore. No one could talk to her. She wouldn't listen. Loki even tried to talk out of it but she couldn't. She wouldn't.

She was in her apartment packing.

"Lu-chan please don't leave." Levy pleaded crying.

"I'm sorry Levy but I can't stay." she said. Lucy continued packing and was almost finished packing. Levy grabbed her arm trying to stop her.

"Please Lu-chan please stay. Fairy Tail needs you." Levy said tears steadily falling down her cheeks.

"Fairy Tail was fine before I got here. It'll be fine once I leave." Lucy said tears falling down her cheeks. Lucy hated to leave but the pain was too much for her. She had to leave. There wasn't a choice in the matter anymore. She grabbed her bag and then looked at the Fairy Tail mark on her hand. It had to go as well.

Levy followed her back to the guild as Lucy carried her bag. Levy pleaded the whole time as they walked in the guild. Everyone turned not sure what was going on.

"Lucy don't do this!" Levy yelled. Lucy ignored her and walked up to the Master's office.

"Lucy what can I do for you?" Markarov asked happily sitting on his desk meditating.

"Take it off," Lucy nearly cried showing Markarov her mark.

"Take what off?" Markarov asked looking at her puzzled.

"Take the mark off. I don't want to be a part of Fairy Tail anymore. Now take it off!" she said crying the whole time.

"Why do you want to leave? Is there a problem?" Markarov asked.

"I'm too weak and I know it. I need to leave. I'm holding Fairy Tail back," she said. She was trying to keep it together. Trying to be strong.

"Are you sure my child?" knowing she wouldn't tell him the real reason. He had to let her follow her own path. He just hoped she'd come back once she got over whatever was making her leave.

"Yes do it," she said providing her hand again. Markarov nodded and prepared.

"You will always be a child of Fairy Tail even if you don't wear the mark." He said removing the mark. Lucy nodded grabbed her bag and left. She didn't care where she was going just that she was going. She was leaving Fairy Tail and she was leaving Natsu.
