A fool to believe that I was better off without being beside you.

She's my Momma 07

Surprisingly no one ratted them out, but hell they were now on the edge of Erza's sword. It has been a month since team Mira went out to retrieve the blonde celestial mage, but much to their displeasure no word has made it back from them, not even from the blonde.

Team Natsu was now sitting at one of the table looking annoyed and irritated; it has been a month since the other guild members parted their ways from the team. And though that did not concern them, what the team wanted to know was the disappearance of Lucy, Mira, Levy and Gajeel.

The four seemed to disappear since the Dragneel's Family Day, and since then they never did go on a mission. They were itching to know what the big deal was, why every member won't seem talk to them, why in the hell the guild was so quiet and what the hell happened to their four other members.

"Hey guys" greeted a white-haired woman who seemed to not be concerned at all.

"Hey" they greeted not really on the mood to talk, they were irritated.

"What's with the angry mood for?" she questioned now sitting beside Natsu and Happy on her arms.

Happy wiggled out from her arms and went towards Erza's side for protection from his 'mother'. Lisanna seemed to claim the title since the day Lucy was not around, and let's just say Happy was not at all pleased.

"We're not on the mood to talk Lisanna" Erza gritted her teeth in annoyance making Lisanna shiver and nervously smile.

"Okay?" she said sounding unsure but didn't really budge from her sit.

She then placed her head on Natsu's shoulder, making the dragon slayer tense for a moment, recalling the moment where Lucy was supposed to do that when they go star-gazing. And that was what months ago, snapping his last bit of patient he stood up making Lisanna back up for a moment. Natsu then decided to consult their master who was on the counter drinking alcohol.

"Gramps!" his voice echoed the hall making some members cover their ear.

"What is it Natsu?" Macarov answered not looking at the fiery boy.

"Where are they?! Where is Lucy at?" he asked annoyed as hell, Erza, Gray and Happy then approached the master as well they were also curious of the topic.

"Lucy, Mira, Levy, Gajeel, the four of them has been away for a month now! Aren't we gonna do something about it?!" Natsu now shouted making Erza, Gray and Happy nod.

"Calm down boy, just wait for them to come home" Macarov stated calmly looking at his cup of alcohol as if that was the most interesting thing to look at as of this moment.

"To hell with waiting! I cannot just sit around knowing my partner is out there on where Mavis knows where!" Natsu slammed his fist on the counter, making some other members to jump from their sits.

"Master, I believe Natsu is right" Erza agreed looking angry as well, not at all pleased of the secrecy the guild was keeping from them.

"Team Natsu" sighing, he was about to spill the beans.

And right before Macarov could even begin his explanation the guild doors open, and their stood three of his children looking solemn and pained. Their expression screamed a thousand of words for the guild members who know.

"Master, we're back" Mira greeted with pained emotion on her face, traces of tears were still visible on her cheeks.

Levy then sobbed then and there dropping unto the floor, Gajeel stood there not speaking but just letting his tears rundown uncontrollably. With no words the other guild members shook their head no and then their tears run down, Macarov sat there silently tears now on the corner of his eyes.

"W-what's going on? Master!" Natsu shouted, although not knowing why but his heart clenched he stared down at their master wanting nothing but an explanation.

"Luce, where's Luce?" he asked now looking at three mages on the door.

"Ah, she didn't go with you she's on another mission, right how foolish of me to think she was with you." He stated as if to convince himself.

"Mira, what's the report?" not even minding Natsu's presence and persuading to himself.

"It took us 3 weeks and half to get to the island, somehow we would always get lost. As if it doesn't want us to find the land" Mira began, wiping her new streaming tears away.

"And when we finally found landed on the island, the demon was already dead" Gajeel continued, looking down staring at his feet.

"We talked to the mayor about the job and somehow, he told us she defeated the demon and right after she was confined at the hospital they suddenly noticed her body glowing, then she disappeared" Levy finished, hiccuping from time to time recalling the exact same words of how they told them of.

"We tried searching for her on the island but we didn't found any clue, and all that was left were her torn clothes, whip and ... keys" with the mention of keys team Natsu's head shot up, their body glued to the floor their eyes locked on a certain key pouch, it was all too familiar to not know.

"Luce/Momma/Lucy?" Natsu, Happy, Erza and Gray said simultaneously, staring intently at the key pouch on Mira's hands along with her whip.

"M-master?" Erza's voice quivered her eyes still lock on the keys, she cannot seem to look away from they key pouch on hand.

"Wh-what happened?" Gray said almost to a whisper his tears now on streaming out of his eyes.

"Tell me this is not true, pinch me I must be dreaming" Natsu did pinch himself but still found himself on the guild hall, he was still there, he was still standing there, not moving an inch from where he was standing.

Happy who was flying mid air moment ago now dropped down on the ground on his human form, his knees on the wooden floor big tears now streaming down and wailed. He cannot seem to hear any other thing, just the ringing in his ear and his thumping heart.

"Momma!!!" he finally shouted.

Hands on his blue hair pulling and tugging to ease his pained aching heart, but no. It did not do a thing, his heart clench and ache, he wanted to run to her keys and clutch them tight but he was glued to where he fell from the air.

His loud cries echoed throughout the guild hall, how could he let his mother go that day? How could he leave her? How could they leave? Natsu sank unto the floor, tears streaming down his cheeks too.

"How could this happen?" he asked in no one in particular, but they all needed an explanation after all.

"Somehow when Lucy grabbed the request that day she didn't even seem check into what it was" Macarov explained his tears coming down his eyes as well.

"And somehow the mission was found to be an S-class the day after she left, the day you celebrated your family day. When we finally know it was one I immediately ordered a rescue team for Lucy at Star Island, but somehow"

"We didn't make it in time" Mira concluded, and all hell broke loose loud cries were heard within the Fairy Tail guild hall.

And as if the heavens knew how they were feeling, the rain poured down at the dark grey sky. Slowly and somehow abruptly Happy and Natsu got up and dashed towards the guild doors, but much to their dismay Macarov already knew what they would do he slammed his giant fist on Natsu and somehow Lisanna wrapped her arms on Happy.

"Let me go! Let me go please!" Happy shouted begged, pleaded and kept on wiggling his body out, the sight of Happy all broken and wailing broke their heart in a much smaller pieces.

His face now drenched in tears, he was heartbroken, irritated, and sad, annoyed, and is aching for his mothers touch. She was supposed to be here with them, she was supposed to be alive and smiling here at the guild with them, so why? Why did she have to go?

"Let me go please! I have to go and get my Momma, she's out there somewhere, she's out there and needs my help, please, please let me go. My Momma needs me" he pleads, reaching his arms out the door that seemed so far away.

"I'm right here Happy, please calm down" she whispered trying to calm him down to stop his outburst.

That sentence somehow made him stop, her voice mixed with her mothers. His eyes widen and slowly he turned his head towards her, long golden hair with brown eyes was what he wanted to see. But alas his vision started to clear and his eyes saw a white short haired woman with baby blue eyes, he did not wanted to see those what he wanted to see was chocolate brown eyes.

Then and there he started to sob again, shaking his head he wailed and protested from her grip. He wanted out of her arms; he did not want to be in another's he wanted Lucy's, he wanted her arms that would cradle her, he wanted it to be her that was holding him, he wanted it to be.

"Please let me go, my Momma's waiting for me, for us. Please, please." He sobbed, his face drenched, with no more energy to fight he began to fall into his knees with Lisanna.

"Happy I'm right here, please stop, Happy." She pleaded tears now out and flowing; her heart ached at the sight of Happy protesting and heartbroken.

"No no no no, I want Lushe, I want my Momma with me, Lushe, Lushe's my Momma, she's my Momma!" he cried out, wiggling out again trying to get out of her grip.

Shock written on her face her mouth agape, her grip loosens and she let him go she let her 'son' go. It was all Lucy here Lucy that, the moment she and Natsu started dating all Natsu talked about was her too, and now Happy claimed Lucy his mother. She knew this day would come, she knew but somehow it still pained her, it still hurts her, how she wished it was her but it's not.

Happy crawled toward the door but was meet with a giant hand now both he and his father was facing the floor, face drenched in tear they all were sobbing. They lost one of their own; they lost a friend, a sister, a partner and a mother. Natsu and Happy's cries were the loudest of them all, the cry of losing someone dear, the cry of losing a lover and a mother.

They mourned all day for their lost fairy, after a whole lot of crying Team Natsu went back to their table and there they never did talk to anyone again. They were the most affected by the sudden news, they were guilty for their comrades death, they were guilty but truly wasn't their fault.

"It's her fault" Happy suddenly said and bolted out the guild and dashed towards his mothers apartment; not wanting to see that person's face, not wanting to hear that person's voice and not even wanting near with her.

He never really did want to blame her he never really did, but somehow it just flowed right on his mouth. He was just really too stunned and broken to work his brain out, he never meant to put the blame on the person who just wanted to get close to his family. But if she didn't just asked her to go on a job then maybe, his mother would still be here, and then maybe she would still be alive.

A couple of days later Lucy's death was made known throughout Foire, Lucy's friends out of Fairy Tail was devastated from the news. One for example was Yukino Agria from Sabertooth fainted from the news, she never really expected it to happen she was basically one of the strongest person she has ever met.

Lucy Heartfillia's death made quite an impact throughout Fiore, she was quite known to be one of the friendliest people there is. Jason from Sorcerers Weekly also couldn't believe the news he suddenly got, Lucy may not have been with him long but somehow she crawled her way unto the reporter's heart.

The news took really quite a toll at the friends Lucy made with, each day a visitor would come and go to the guild giving their at most respect. Tears were shed from here and there, oh how they wanted it all too just be over and done, but it didn't, not from the requip mage, ice-make mage, script mage, fire dragon slayer and exceed's point of view.

The celestial spirit mage's death didn't really sit well with that group they have been distancing themselves from anyone, they haven't talk to anyone either they just come and go to the guild letting the other members know their alive and have not commit suicide.

Natsu and Happy have always been found at Lucy's apartment since day one, they would only go home to bathe and change then would directly go back. Erza has been locking herself on her room every night or day when she's not at the guild; and she would only come out when she needs to go to the guild, Gray has stopped stripping all of a sudden and could be sometimes be seen staring at the cheery blossom Natsu sailed for Lucy.

Whilst Levy, she has been stuffing her face with books and would only just rest when someone would pull her out the library. Somehow she has been researching on Lucy's disappearance hoping it was just like how Lisanna disappeared years ago, but much to her liking she found no clue nor any links of her vanishing.
