Chapter 1

The little blond girl sat on the swing bawling her eyes out. She didn't understand anything anymore, not that she understood to begin with. Her world was crumbling down and there was no way she could save it. She thought it was a punishment for coloring on the walls again but she didn't get it. Last time she did so her parents only sent her to her room but this time, it was a little too extreme she thought.

"Hey guys look I told you it was Lucy!" a little boy said running towards his companion. The boy's friends ran with him to the crying blond girl.

"Lucy?" the boy said slowing his run to a walk then stopping all together.

The boy had never seen his friend cry before. He was so used to her smiling and laughing and occasionally beating him up but never crying.

Lucy looked up at the boy and wiped her tears away. She tried to stop crying in front of her friend, but remembering she would never ever see him again made the girl start crying all over again.

"Natsu" the little blond cried bringing her hands up to cover her face.

"Erza! Erza! There's something wrong with Lucy!" Natsu panicked calling out to his friend.

Maybe she was broken? Maybe she got bullied before he came here? Natsu looked around to see if their was any older kids lingering around. They would pay for making his precious friend cry.

Just then his friends walked up and the tallest scarlet haired girl pushed Natsu aside and bent to Lucy's height.

"Lucy? Hello Lucy are you there?" Erza joked trying to see her little friend's face.

It had worked. Lucy dropped her hands and nodded at Erza. Erza turned angry seeing all the tears running down her friends face. She swore that whoever made her cry like this was going to pay. The other friends had gathered around Lucy staring at her, all thinking the same thing. Erza and Natsu were the ones the most angry though. Erza took a breath and decided to ask Lucy why she was crying before charging blindly and fighting everyone like her salmon haired friend idiot would do.

"Lucy what's wrong?" Erza asked in the kindest voice she could sum up.

Everyone other than Lucy shivered. No one was used to Erza's kind voice because she rarely used it. When she did though usually after her kind voice you'd get a fist to the face. She may speak kindly but Erza's attitude was anything other than 'kind'.

Lucy opened her mouth to speak but just the thought of it made her start crying again. Instead of words, sobs came out her mouth and she started to rub her eyes. Erza, seeing her friend in such pain, placed a hand on her head and rubbed it.

"Hey it's just me Erza, your best friend. Remember we tell each other everything along with our other best friends. They're all here worried about you Lucy. Come on you can tell us, we only want to help" Erza said.

All the friends added encouraging words with Erza.

"That's, that's, that's why I'm crying!" Lucy sobbed.

"Because we're your friends?" Erza asked.

She was confused. She thought Lucy liked her along with everyone else. Or is it that someone did something to Lucy behind her back. Erza turned around to face her friends and said in a very deadly voice.

"Which one of you hurt Lucy?"

The friends all took a step back and coward behind one another.

"It's not your fault it's mine" Lucy managed to say.

She saw that Erza was about to hurt their friends and she could let that happen, well again anyway. It wasn't any of their faults, it was hers.

"Lucy" Natsu said and sat on the swing next to his blond friends. "Were best friends aren't we? We can tell each other anything! Just the other day I was the one who drank Gray's juice box!" Natsu yelled out.
