The End of the Beginning

"HELP ME!" A shrill scream pierced the air. The birds that had been resting in the tops of the trees lifted off, wings flapping madly. The small group of wizards came to a stop as the scream reached their ears and their eyes widened.

"Lucy..." They breathed before dashing off into the trees, searching desperately for the blonde Celestial Mage. A pinkette lead the group, dashing madly as he relied on his nose to find her. Beside him his blue Exceed partner flew along side him, just on the verge of activating Max Speed as he kept up with the pinkette.

All their hearts were pounding, tensions high. They had been separated from Lucy a little bit ago, their mission had gone wrong from the very beginning. Behind the blue Exceed and madly dashing pinkette, raced an Ice Mage, a red-head, a small girl and her white Exceed partner.

They needed to find her, they had to!

"NATSU!" Another scream pierced the air and they ran faster. The sky was suddenly becoming dark with thick grey clouds and a chill wind picked up. They had never heard Lucy scream like this before, they hadn't thought it possible of the sweet, kind Celestial Mage to make such a horrible noise.

Another scream shot up from the trees, but was abruptly cut off and they all sweatdropped.

They all came to a dead stop as the trees thinned out into a clearing, their eyes growing wide in horror. Blood littered everything, the ground was torn up, and the trees had deep slashes in their bark.

In the middle lay a broken, mangled, ripped, bloody body. The once beautiful golden hair was matted with both blood and dust. The clothes were ripped, along with the skin where the blood had slowed to a stop long ago. She was cold, pale, lifeless.

They were all frozen in horror, before tears started to stream from all their eyes. Not even Healing Magic could fix this, she was already gone, and they knew it.

Natsu stumbled forward numbly and fell to his knees beside her, lifting her limb body up and crying silently. Gray quickly crouched down and turned Wendy away from the horrible sight as he pulled her close and let her sob into his shirt, keeping his own crying silent. Erza stared in utter shock at the blonde, she couldn't move, couldn't think.

Happy pulled Carla into a hug as she stared to cry too and Happy cried with her, they had been to late... Utterly late...

Natsu's face lifted toward the sky, eyes shut tight. Lightning flashed down as the storm broke out over them, and the thunder was drowned out by his voice.

"LUCY!"

..._-+-_...

The usually rowdy and happy Fairy Tail Guild in Magnolia fell into a state of disarray. No one smiled, no one laughed, no one hardly even spoke. Magnolia was hit by constant rain since Lucy died, despite Juvia having felt Lucy as a Love Rival, she still had considered Lucy as one of her friends.

Lucy's best friend Levy had been hit pretty hard by the news, and now she only found comfort in a certain Iron Dragon who seemed affected by the blondes death more than anyone would have thought. Erza became silent, serious, never joking and never smiling after that.

Gray had fallen silent too, the only time he would seem to ever speak is when he was trying to get Juvia to calm down. Wendy seemed a little haunted by what she had seen, and she never seemed to stop crying after it happened.
