Lucy's POV
My spirits hated me, except Loki.
I left so I could release all the pain.
So I could punch out my emotions.
I did a simple job. Kill a Vulcan hiding up in the mountains. I didn't expect it to take a week.
The trip up the mountain was more dangerous than the Vulcan with its treacherous slopes and its unbearable snowy weather. I could barely survive. I had to constantly find shelter and warmth.
I missed my friends but my burning rage kept me fighting.
I fought my way up that mountain.
By the time I had come across the Vulcan I was out of breath and my heart was pounding inside my chest. My spirits were weak from the journey up the mountain. Consequently, the Vulcan had me captive for five or six days.
On the seventh day of my captivity, Loki had enough strength to fight and kill the Vulcan.
We had made camp there for two days. My spirits rested in their world while I waited in the cave.
I had to leave soon or I would die of starvation. Mustering all the strength I had, I began the trip back to Fairytail.
Unfortunately, that stupid monkey broke my leg. So, walking down the mountain was almost impossible.
By the time I had gotten back to Fairytail, my leg was infected and swollen. Wendy had taken care of my leg and tended to it for as long as necessary. It had started to heal.
And then Natsu came back. My amazing, beautiful Natsu. My reason for existence. Poor Natsu didn't know yet. I can't bring myself to tell him.
He may never know until its over.
