Chapter 6: Dead End

Lucy's POV

I was sitting at the waiting area of Zenith Town's Train Station, deep in thought. Yesterday was my trip back at the Heartfilia Estate where i came home empty handed, well not exactly since i brought back my mom's journal. And since last night, i was up until midnight figuring out my next move. But unfortunately, i didn't reach any conclusion or whatsoever.

Even though i don't have any plans, i still decided on leaving town today. That's apparently why i'm sitting here now, thinking and grumbling. I can't stay here for long as it seems that i already overstayed. 3 nights and 2 days is long enough.

With a shaky sigh, i approached the ticket booth hesitatingly.

"What can i help you with, miss?" A petite brunette asked politely from inside the booth. Her black eyes laced with stress stared back at my own. She's obviously tired but choosed not to let it show.

"Ummm, what's possibly the farthest town your trains can reach?" I asked quite hesitatingly.

"That would be Hoshi Town. About 6 hours from here." The brunette said while raising her delicate eyebrow. I can say that she's suspicious of me.

"Then, i would like 1 ticket to Hoshi Town, please?" I said. The ticket booth operater gave me one last look before handing the ticket to me. I smile sweetly at her as i gave her 2500J.

I boarded the train and got settled upon instantly. I can't help but question my decision. Was this the right thing to do?

Going back to what the operator said, i was going to Hoshi Town, the train's last stop. Approximately, that will be about 10 hours away from Magnolia. Pretty much the other end of Fiore. But wait, 'Hoshi'? I don't know why but i feel uneasy and somehow familiarity by the mention of it's name. Have i been there before? A simple question i don't have any definite answer with. I tried to recall anything about my past that has any connection with the mentioned town. But unfortunately, my memory before turning 5 was a bit hazy and cloudy. I can't seem to remember anything by then. But the memories of when i was 6 up to the present was pretty much crystal clear.

Hoshi?

Doesn't that mean 'Star' in Japanese?

Normal POV
Fairy Tail Guild, Magnolia

It has been 2 days since Lucy was last seen by her guildmates. Everyone was growing worried but neither one of them tried to ask their Master about her whereabouts. He was, after all, the last person whom she talked to before vanishing. The group which consisted of the few people who never forgotten the blonde, were sitting at a table at the far corner of the guild. They were discussing something serious in small voices which enabled those neighboring tables to not hear.

"Where is she?!" The petite short blue haired mage hissed as she puffed her cheeks in annoyance.

"Wherever she is, Juvia just hopes she's ok. And that she knows what she's doing." The water mage implied which Lisanna and Wendy agreed on.

"Tch. Bunny Girl isn't that stupid. Besides, she's already 17. She's old enough to make her own decision. All we could do is hope that Fire Lizard didn't infect her with his stupidity." The iron dragonslayer grunted as he chewed on a piece of iron who found God knows where.

"I'm still bothered though. How did Lucy just disappeared from Master's office like that. Not even a trace of her was left." Carla stated suspiciously. This thought, however made everyone think.

"That part made me confused too. There's no way we wouldn't notice her if she came down from Master's office. Aside from that, there's only two ways too be able to leave the guild. Either use the front or back door. And i'm telling you, it's just impossible for her to just vanish!" The take over mage said, receiving nods of approval from the small group.

"Maybe she teleported or something." The youngest of the Strauss siblings inquired which earned her looks of disbelief.

"That's kinda impossible, Lisanna-san. Lucy-san doesn't know teleportation, atleast that's what i know." Romeo pointed out.

"Yeah, but think about it. How would a teenage girl just disappear without any trace or clues?" The short white haired girl said, supporting her own theory.

"Well, who knows. Lisanna may or may not be right. Only Master can answer that since he's the only one who knows what really happened inside his office." Levy added which made everyone sigh. They respect their Master and Lucy's decision if ever they wanted to keep it a secret. But it still frustrates them to not have any knowledge on the blonde's whereabouts and location. They truly care for the Stellar Mage..

Meanwhile, the guild hasn't been in best shape lately. Their usual lively and wild behavior was a no show these past 2 days. This probably has something to do with their missing guildmate, Lucy Heartfilia.

When they realized their mistakes and by the time Natsu stormed out of the guild, they waited patiently for the blonde to descend from the stairs to ask for forgiveness. But she didn't appear. Up until 11 pm, the guild waited. But no Lucy.

The next day, they waited for her to appear and visit the guild. All day they anticipated her arrival. Some even practiced their 'sorry' speech and messages. Not one of them did any job that day since they wanted to say sorry in person. But when the clock at the guild hall struck 10 pm, there was still no sign of her.

Apparently though, Natsu didn't visit the guild since that day Lucy disappeared. He must have been feeling really guilty. He seems to be the most affected by all of this, after all.
