Forgive But NEVER Forget

Peaked Her Interest

Lucy's POV

"I-I got kicked out of my guild," she said between sniffs.

"WHAT?!" All five of us exclaimed.

"Because I lost to Kagura. I was forced to strip and remove my mark. I do not have anywhere to go now. Sabertooth was my home," she said.

I, like Natsu, grew a rampaging face.

Yukino saw the rage in our eyes and tried to calm us down but all her words went over our heads.

How could anyone do that to a guild member?! That's despicable!! Losing or winning, the joy should be the same in a guild. They are all family after all, right? No, Sabertooth doesn't think of anyone as family, they think of each other's as pawns or objects to make the guild look stronger...

"Wendy, please look after Yukino. I have to go tame some tigers," I said with rage oozing in my voice.

"I am coming too," Natsu said.

"Star Glider," I cast and a golden star appeared below my feet and I started to fly in the direction of Sabertooth's lodge.

"Happy," Natsu called and instantly, Happy grabbed Natsu and followed behind me.

"Lucy, don't! You know it's not a good idea! Calm down!! You're in the middle of the Guild Games. If you fight right now, Fairytail could be disqualified for sabotage," Loke's voice said to me telepathically. "Everything that you and everyone has worked for will be for nothing. I completely agree with your actions, but you need to take this war to the guild games."

I stopped midflight and Happy also halted.

"Thanks, Loke! You're right. I will destroy them when I get the chance," I replied to Loke's comment.

"Lucy, what's wrong? Why did you stop," Natsu inquired?

"I don't think we should go."

"WHAT?! Why?!"

"Look, I want to do this as much as you do, but our guild is on the line here. If we go and do anything, Fairytail can be disqualified for sabotage. You made an amazing effect on the crowd with your actions and words, let's not try and ruin that with this stunt."

Natsu nodded and both of us flew back to Yukino, Wendy, and Carla. Yukino released her breath when she saw me and Natsu come back down.

"Thank you for caring about me, but I don't want to cause any more harm to you or your guild. Thank you for trying, I'll have to take my leave," Yukino said.

"Yukino, we will destroy them for what they did to you. We will destroy them for our guild and you! What they did was wrong and we will pummel them into understanding what a guild really is," I exclaimed.

Yukino was shocked for a second and then smiled. "If you plan on destroying them, keep an eye out for our strongest wizard- "

"I believe you're talking about me, Yukino," a voice said as a magic bubble came between me and Yukino.

Out from it appeared a slim young woman of average height with long, straight and glossy black hair. She had a mean smirk on her face with eyes that shined with pride.

"Who the hell are you," Natsu asked?

"Pardon my intrusion, but I am Minerva Orland," she replied. "I have no interest in fairy trash, but you, Lucy Heartfillia, have caught my attention." She inched closer to me.
