Her sorrow

Lucy was terribly pained. The only person she ever loved, and ever would love, had forgotten her. She had simply faded from his memory, but he was intact in hers! When they had laughed together, kissed tenderly, held each other close, or simply talked.

A week after Lucy returned from her training, both of them were sitting in Magnolia Park. It was a beautiful afternoon, with clear skies and cool weather. The trees were beautiful and green, the flowers soft and tender. Lucy and Gray sat together, their arms entwined, looking gently in each other's eyes.
"Lucy..." Gray asked quietly. "You know, it was awful for me when you left. It was a long, lonely year. I waited for you, I was afraid, worried."
"Gray....." Lucy whispered. "I'm sorry, I had to."
"My life is yours, Lucy Heartfilia. I will be there for you. Always and forever."
And they had kissed under the golden rays of the setting sun.

And now, Gray remembered her no more. Her heart was broken, shattered into a million pieces. Was it even necessary to live anymore? Who would she live for?
Would she have to leave Fairy tail again?

Sting's POV

I went into Magnolia Forest for training. I've never forgiven myself since my Yukino died. I still think it was my fault. Had Blondie not appeared to save us... Rogue and I would be dead too. I owe blondie. But since when was she SO powerful?!
I guess I'll go to Fairy tail once and visit her, I should. At least to say thanks once more.
I turned around the corner, and I saw her. "Blondie?" I gasped under my breath. "What is she doing in the forest all alone?"
I decided to say hi.
"Hey, blondie." I grinned slightly.
I was shocked when I looked at her face, her beautiful blue eyes dark with limpid tears, and her expression the very one of agony. Her face was filled with raw emotion, and inexpressible sorrow.
"Lucy....?" I asked in shock. "What's wrong?"
The tears started falling from her eyes as she shouted, "Sting, I shouldn't even be alive... it's Gray, he had a memory erasion spell on him, and he c...Can't remember me anymore!"
I was shocked to say the least. Poor Blondie. I hesitantly went and hugged her automatically. She laid her head upon my chest and started sobbing.
She was beautiful, like a stone sculpture of grief straight from the Renaissance. I blushed slightly.
"Hush, Blondie. You can talk to me you know."

Normal P.O.V

Lucy poured out the whole story, and Sting said, after thinking a bit. "Wanna come to Sabertooth for a while? Not to join, for I know you love Fairy tail, but maybe you could visit. With your friends of course. And Rufus is a memory make mage, I've not giving you any hope, but you've got a chance, Lu. And if you want to join, we would be delighted."
Lucy smiled, "Thank you, Sting. I won't join, but maybe I could visit?"
"Of course, although you won't be able to take any solo jobs. But I'll be happy to come with you. And we will welcome you, blondie."
For the first time, Lucy smiled gently. Her smile was so beautiful, that Sting caught his breath. It was the greatest pity that someone as lucky to be her boyfriend would forget her. It was really sad.
Lucy went into the guild, and stopped in her tracks when she saw Gray. He didn't even look at her, but Lisanna came and hugged her. "Are you ok, Lucy?"
"No, Lis," She said with a sad smile. "I want to get away from fairy tail for a bit...."
Everyone looked dismayed. Wendy shrieked, "But Lucy-nee you just returned. You can't leave again! Not so soon!"
"I won't leave the guild, I just thought I'd visit Sabertooth for a while. Yukino was my only friend there but.. Sting said I could visit. He's the master now."
Natsu shouted, "No, Lucy! You left once because of me, and I will NOT let you leave again..."
Lucy started to tear up, when Erza came and put an arm around her shoulders. "She needs a change of scene."
Lucy looked at her gratefully, when Gray strolled up to them. He was still perplexed about this pretty blonde, and he felt a sort of attraction towards her. Okay, she was very lovely, and strong, but it wasn't like him to really be so confused about a newcomer. "Oh... hi.... uhm... your name was...Yeah, Lucy. Hi, Lucy." He said with a slight frown. Lucy looked like she was about to collapse, after looking at those cold eyes, in which there was no recognition. And no warmth at all. None of that inexpressible tenderness she was used to seeing, none of that gentle affection. Juvia stood up suddenly, "Gray-sama, Juvia thinks you should not go after Lucy-san now. Please leave."
Gray looked confused. It wasn't his fault. He didn't understand why he was being treated so coldly. Especially Juvia being so cold?! She was a crazy stalker, his crazy stalker. He had never loved her, but it hurt him to see her so cold. He was happy she was with Lyon now, but she should have been friendlier.
"Ok, Juvia. See you around," he said with a friendly smile, and left. Mira went to Lucy and took her hand. "Lucy, we know you love Fairy tail. If being near Gray hurts you, go to Sabertooth. But never forget that Fairy tail is your real family, and come back soon. And visit us when you can. I won't let you remove your insignia, and nor will Master."
"It's ok, Mira," Lucy said with a small smile. I wasn't planning on removing it. I want to find a cure for Gray, and I will always love you guys. And maybe I'll train a little more on my way."
They spoke to Master, who granted her permission to visit Sabertooth, and Lucy decided to call Sting through a communication lacrima.
''Hey, Sting."
"Hi, blondie. Decided yet?"
"Yeah, can I visit for a month or two if it's ok with you guys?"
"We'd be delighted. Got permission from Makarov-san?"
"Yes, sure."
"Then, welcome to Sabertooth, blondie!"
Erza stepped in with a scary look and dark aura.
"Don't you dare take advantage of our comrade," She threatened.
"I promise!" Sting cowered.
