Shattered Ice

Chapter 6

Gray POV:

We burst through the door of Lucy's hotel room and I couldn't believe that she wasn't there. I really blew it and I should've let her explain before losing my shit. 'I mean it's just magic...that could've be useful in the grand magic games....and on missions' I think and then shake the thought out my head "Natsu can you pick up her scent?" he nods and starts sniffing around like a trained dog. Once Natsu picks up her scent, he starts to run in the direction of it with everyone following close behind. We come upon this abandoned house in the middle of the forest that's infested with all kinds of creatures, even S-class monsters. Natsu looks over at me "She's in there, but before we do anything would you mind telling me your relationship with MY Lucy" The Flame brain cocks up one of his eyebrows at me "What do you mean YOUR Lucy?! She's MY girlfriend!" I yell at him and we have a death glare contest basically. That all stops when we see the door to the house open and a certain blonde mage exit into the forest "Where is she going? Why is she going alone?" I whisper under my breath and start to follow behind her. Soon she comes to a clearing and starts talking to a dragon with sort of a saddened face and I think her dragon noticed us in the distance because she looked dead at me and whispered something even the dragon slayers couldn't hear to her and then just flew off, leaving Lucy behind. Lucy just sits there for a while and I couldn't hold back anymore, I ran up behind her and hugged her tightly "I'm sorry Lucy, please come home with us..." I feel tears slipping out my eyes and I try to blink them away. Lucy did something I never thought she'd do.......she pushed me off and had this dead look in her eyes. She stood up and walked away from me and something I noticed was that her guild mark started to fade away with every step she took, she's lost faith in Fairy Tail as her nakama. She stops about 9 feet from me and looks back at everyone before closing her eyes and shaking her head in disappointment. I never saw her again after that.

Lucy POV:

I didn't know how to feel in that moment, one minute you're pissed at me because I'm secretly a dragon slayer and the next you want me to stay with you. I felt betrayal, the ice mage has frozen my heart and I can't love anyone else but I refuse to go running back to him. I'll take my chances out here with these monsters, I'll perfect my magics and start a little combat training with Loke. Maybe one day I will go back to Fairy Tail but for now I can't. After that night I hear Gray standing outside my cabin waiting to see  if I'll come out every night, I never do. He always leaves me chocolate covered strawberries and expensive gifts to show he still cares. After about 2 years of that same routine...he stopped showing up. I guess I truly shattered his heart and he's given up on me, he can move on but my heart is still frozen. I don't want revenge, I just want to think. After about 4 years I finally leave that cabin and start walking to the guild, my Fairy Tail symbol is faint but its there. I had a little bit of faith in them. If Gray has moved on then maybe Natsu can unfreeze my heart, sure I put the spell on myself but I can't undo it. I walk into the guild hall to find everyone saddened for some reason and no one even notices that I'm here, what happened?
