•Lucy's POV•
I woke up to the sun's rays in my apartment. It was another day of being ignored by the guild. Well not everyone. Levy, Mira, Gajeel, Wendy, and the exceeds talk to me. Ever since Lisanna came back from the 'dead' everyone has been ignoring me. Even Nastu! He never comes into my apartment anymore.
I get out of bed and take a shower and then get dressed.

I arrived at the guild and go to the bar. No one noticed me or said hi. They just continued on with what they were doing.

"Hey Mira," I said walking up to Mira cleaning a glass.

"Hello Lucy," Mira said giving me her sweet smile. "Would you like anything?"

"A strawberry milkshake would be nice," I told her smiling back.

Mira and I talk for a while until Nastu walks up. I was honestly happy that he came up to me.

"Hi Nastu," I said to him as he
walked up.
"Oi Lucy, we're kicking you off the team because you're weak. All you do is just hide behind your spirits," Nastu says, with Gray and Erza walking up behind him nodding.

"Oh... Okay," I said with a smile.

I try to hold back my tears. Why would Nastu do this? He was the one who invited me to join the guild and his team. Is it because of Lisanna? 

I turn to Mira and say I'm going home for the day. She just nods and goes back to cleaning and serving. I walk out of guild and go home.

When I get home I lay down in bed and start crying. Eventually I fell asleep.

~Time Skip~

It's been a week since Nastu kicked me off the team. I was walking to the guild thinking about how Nastu said i was weak. I've been thinking of leaving to train for a while now.
I walk into the guild and go over to Mira who was at the bar.

"Hey Mira. Is Master in his office?" I ask.

"Hi Lucy! Yes he is, why?" Mira says to me.

"Oh its nothing, I just want to talk to him," I say as I walk upstairs to Master's office. 

I knock on Master's door. "Who is it?" I hear Master say.

"It's me Lucy," I say through the door.

"Come in," he says.

"Hello Master," I greet him.

"Hello Lucy. Is there something wrong," he asks me.

"Actually I would like to leave the guild," I tell him looking at the ground sadly.

"Why Lucy? Is it those brats?"

"Actually most of the guild has been ignoring me. Nastu recently kicked me out of the team because I'm weak," I tell him everything that has happened since Lisanna came back.

"Lucy I'm sorry for what those brats have done to you. Should I punish them?" He tells me.

"No Master. Please don't hurt them. I would just like to leave the guild to train. I want to prove Nastu wrong that I'm not weak," I tell him.

"Okay Lucy. As long as you promise to come back," he looks at me seriously.

"I will Master. I promise," I tell him smiling.

"Okay give me your hand," he says. I give him my hand and he chants a spell above my hand and my mark disappears.

"Master I would like you to not tell anyone I left. If any of my true friends ask, just tell them you sent me on a long mission. I do not know how long my training will be. I'll send Loke here to update you on how I'm doing," I tell him.

"Okay. Keep me informed on how you're doing with training too," He says.

"Okay Ma- I mean Makarov," I say with a smile and walk out and go home.

•??? POV•

I was sitting outside of Makarov's office listening to Lucy's conversation with him. Once Lucy walks out of the guild I walk into his office. He looks at me shocked.

"First Master Mavis?!" He almost yells.

"Yes Makarov?" I say.

"What are you doing here? Do you need anything?" He asks me.

"I've always been here. Watching over Lucy. I guess it's almost time," I said.

"Wait you've been watching over Lucy? Why? what do you mean by it's almost time?" He asks.

"Her mother told me to watch over her. It's almost time for her seal to be removed. And go back to her sisters," I say giving a smile.

"Wait you know her mother? Lucy has sisters? What seal?" Makarov said confused.

I smile at his confused state. "I'm Layla's sister. Layla put a seal on Lucy at a young age and sent here to Earthland. Lucy doesn't remember anything from her realm," I say.

"WHAT? LUCY ISN'T FROM EARTHLAND?!" Marakrov yelled surprised. Luckily I put a sound barrier around the office before I came in. I just smile at him and leave him in his surprised state, not telling him anything else.
