"I'm going to miss this place" I sigh as I close the door to my apartment behind me, I have a bag slung over one shoulder filled with food, some money and a blanket, all the things I will need for travelling. I raise the hood of the cloak that I have put on to stop anyone from recognising me, I really want to go and see the guild one last time but I can't risk going back when they might turn on me again and anyway I need to get stronger first but I will miss them all especially- no Lucy don't think of that I tell myself firmly and before leaving I slip an envelope with this months rent in it for the landlady. Turning away  I slowly make my way to the end of the street. Something wet slips down my cheek and I realise it's a tear, brushing it away angrily I tell my self that I'm not losing everything, I still have my Spirits who are just like family to me, gently brushing a hand across the Celestial Keys on my hip. Turning left I make my way out of Magnolia, not stopping for a rest until I have reached the forest, summoning Plue we walk through the forest, following a random path " I wonder where we should go now Plue, we need a suitable base to train at but we need to be far enough away that no one will recognise us" 

"fghefrgaf"

"Yeah good point, they will probably come after me once they realise I have left and will ask people if they've seen me so I think I'll just keep moving"

"nejed"

"Yep, I'm glad I'm better too, see you soon" and with that Plue faded away, leaving me to my thoughts, I was still wondering why everyone had turned on me. It was close to noon when I rounded a bend in the path and came to a small village, a breeze drifted my way bringing with it the smell of food, my stomach grumbled and I realised I hadn't actually had lunch *oops*. Rummaging around my bag I drag out an apple and a few bars, "now the question is wether I should ask to stay a night in a spare room or not" thinking about it I decide not to, seeing as it's too close to Magnolia. I follow the path which is winding through the tree's, when I get to a suitable clearing I set up camp and summon Capricorn the celestial goat spirit, "Lucy, how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine but I want you to teach me to become stronger!"

"Okay" He agrees and set's me exercises to do every morning and night, such as, 10 pushups and sit-ups, running for 5 kilometers every morning and opening up Celestial gates for as long as I can and as many as I can. I struggle through all of the exercises apart from the last two exercises he's given me  and when I'm finished I am thoroughly drenched in sweat and feel like sleeping for a million years, thanking him and saying goodbye he fade's away and I make a fire to cook on. After finishing off my meagre meal of bread and a few strips of burnt chicken I take my blanket out of my bag and curl up beside the fire. "Nat- huh? what was that?" I wake up suddenly wondering what had woken me up, realising that the fire had gone out I put some more logs on it and lit it again AAAOOOOOOHHHI yelp "where did that come from? and what was it? It sounded like a wolf!" AAAOOOOOOHHH Oh no, there's another one, I think with dread as the howls draw closer.I hear soft footsteps padding around the clearing and catch a few glimpses of grey and black shapes, snarling jaws and hungry eyes, now quite afraid I open Loke's gate "Open, gate of the lion, Loke" I cry, "what do you need help with?" Loke asks as he appears, "Can you get rid of those wolves?"

"Your wish is my command!" He shouts *sweat drop* before leaping at the wolves and kicking them away "Oh, that was fast, thanks Loke!" 

"No problem, will you be OK?"

"Of course I will, see you soon" I reply before he fades away. After that I can't get back to sleep, I reach out to grab another log with my right arm and something on my hand catches my eye, bringing my hand close to eye level I see that my guild mark is still on it, I stare at it for a few minutes remembering all the good times I had had at Fairy Tail, before I will it to fade away, a few more seconds and it's gone. I pull up my knees with my blanket around me, burying my face in my hands and start to cry because I have now officially left Fairy Tail. Dawn breaks with the sun spilling golden rays onto the mountains and trees but I don't notice the spectacular view because I'm packing away my blanket, putting my cloak on, which I had taken off before training last night, and putting out the fire, remembering what Capricorn had said last night I run for the first 5 Kilometers of the path through the forest. when I'm done I take a big sag of water and have a short rest. After a few minutes I get up and keep walking, an hour later the tree's thin out and I realise I am now around the Oak Town area.  Should I stop in Oak Town to collect some food and maybe some new clothes and a bath! Oh I can't believe how much I miss Bath's!!!! But Oak Town is pretty close to Magnolia so- grgrrrgr rumbles my stomach, I stop for a rest and look in my bag for food, I groan as I find only a protein bar and two apple's left, Wow, my food went pretty quickly I think regrettably, grgrrrrrrrgr, well that decide's it, I will have to stock up on food but first I think, and then shout, "Open gate of the giant crab, CANCER!" *Ding-dong* "Hello Baby! What do you need?" ask's's Cancer "Hi Cancer, I need you to make my hair look different to usual"
