3rd P.O.V

It had been a week since the Tartarus incident took place. And she still hasn't recovered, both physically and mentally. Her wounds were still bandaged and throbbed with pain from time to time.

And at night, her dreams would turn dark as Lucy was forced to relive that battle inside her head. It was a taxing battle, her chest was heaving from exhaustion. Bruises practically covered her flesh, blood dripped from her head, making her feel woozy.

She had just summoned Aquarius, her oldest friend and ally. It was a miracle that the hot tempered mermaid showed up, for she already had two other spirits out to assist in the battle.

Virgo the maiden, a pink haired maid who had this strange obsession with being punished. Always there for her princess since the Grimoir Heart battle. And then Leo the Lion, aka Loki. He was different in both terms of appearance and personality since when she first met him.

Back when she was new to Fairy Tail, she saw him as a member who played around with girls, though Lucy knew there was more to his story. He ran from her every single time he caught sight of her. He would act awkward around her, still traumatized from his past.

She only wished she had realized sooner of his suffering. However that didn't change the fact that she was glad he was here to help her now. The way things are going though, their fate seemed bleak. She was ready to faint from the pain and lack of magic.

"Ahhh!" Lucy screamed, as Aquarius shoulder was sliced. The scaled opponent that was fighting Loki was able to easily swim in the mermaids tidal wave. And then she saw in slow motion as Virgo and Loki, whom were distracted received vital hit from Jackals attack.

Them both apologizing as they're forced to return to the spirit world. Things only got worse from there. As the blonde haired wizard was forced to endure small explosions hitting her body. Reaching her limits, she was ready for the end.

Just for Aquarius to come to her rescue...and force her to make the greatest sacrifice of all. "Destroy my key Lucy! And Summon the Celestial Spirit King!" She cried, begging for another way.

Wanting to refuse committing such a deed. But in the end...for her family, for her guild...she lost her mothers spirit, her first friend. The face that the water bearer made before disappearing still burns into Lucy's memory.

A small sad smile, tears glistening down. Her eyes saying that despite always being annoyed with the teenaged mage, she still loved and cared for Lucy...and it broke her heart.

She would wake up these cold harsh nights shivering, small tears streaking down her face as her eyes turned to the broken key on her nightstand, Aquarius's symbol shining in the moonlight.

After several deep breaths and swallowing the bile that would be caught in her throat she would rest her head on her pillows, and wait for the sun to rise. Though Lucy has spent her thoughts away at Fairy Tail, the pain still plagued her heart.

Even now as Lucy watches Cancer style Wendy's hair back to it's beautiful and original length, her smile just isn't as bright or joyous as it used to be. "Wow thank you so much Lucy-San! And Cancer-San!" The Crab Spirit snips his scissors.

"No Problem Ebi." He disappears, as Lucy and Wendy speak about whether or not her blonde hair should grow longer. For a moment it felt good to have things slowly return to normal. That day passes by, not much going on.

Lucy arrives at her humble apartment but before she can open the door, she feels something. Someone's there. Lucy huffs knowing exactly who it could be. There was only a handful that would break into her room.

She opens the door "Natsu! Happy! How many times must I tell you not to break into my house!" She pauses in her rampant lecture to find no one there. When something catches her eye. A letter neatly placed on her coffee table.

Reading it she stands shocked, it taking several seconds to process the information. Before running off, the words engraved into her mind as she sprints yelling. "What the hell!" Outside she continues, already out of breath for she's not yet at 100 percent.

Tears starting to reform in her eyes. Her fingers crushing the letter in her hands "If you do that...if you do that...I Won't get sad. MORON!" Her shrieks of rage were lies to what she was truly feeling, but what could she say?

The letter that was practically crushed in her grip being from Natsu and Happy. She couldn't take it...it was too much for her. Their bond, after everything they've gone through. 'How could you leave me like this?'

'I'm going off on a journey to train with Happy. I'll be back after about a year. Give everyone else a heads up okay?'

Unable to take the sadness weight down on her she falls to her knees, hiding her face as sobs racked her body. A warm hand presses gently against her shoulder... She turns around with a gasp, surprised to see him there.

As he gently wipes her tears away. "It's going to be ok." He murmurs softly into her ear. Lucy hugs him tight, feeling his strong arms wrap around and support her. He lets her cry, ashamed that he couldn't do anything to stop her tears, that he couldn't prevent her loss.

They stay there, the wind gently blowing. After what seems like hours her chocolate eyes met with his. "Thank you Loki." His master manages a small smile. He pulls her back into his embrace, her head laying gently against his shoulder.

"You don't have to try so hard you know. " Her eyes close listening to his breathing and feeling gentle fingers rub circles on her back, she falls asleep in his arms. As they both pray for a better tomorrow.

To be continued

Author Notes: I did it! Yay~ So yeah i'm starting off this story super late into the game, and if you haven't guessed it, it's gonna be a Lucky pairing(Lucy x Loki pairing) I go back and forth between this pair and Nalu(Natsu x Lucy) but lucky is the pair for this story.

I always find it interesting how playboy characters(Lavi from DGM, Loki from...fairy tail...holy crap they look alike and they have similar behaviors...they're related to hibiki from blue Pegasuses...) always seem to have this dark past and mysterious background.

And as much as I believe Nalu is gonna happen(squeal~) Loki and Lucy doesn't get enough love seeing how there were several moments when you think 'Whoa they're gonna be together'.

To me there's way too much Nalu fanfic(I've been reading nalu fanfic for like 2 weeks and I'm still not done with the archive, thats a lot and me picking based on the summary

Anyways with that folks please review/fav/follow if you like this so far. Thank you to any and all supporters who have been waiting patiently and dealing with the reuploads. Tchao for now~
