Chapter 11: Diary Entry

 (Italics are a diary entry for this chapter)

Fairy Tail was my home, it had been my home ever since Laxus and Anna rescued me from the destruction of my village all those years ago. It was the place that I always felt like I was a part of a family, a slightly dysfunctional family at that. It wasn’t a feeling that I had felt since I was with Sting … though I used to have doubts about whether or not I would see him again at the time.

Not many people had believed in me before I joined the guild, I had people who looked out for me and helped me to grow. Anna and Mira were the motherly/older sisters to me, helping me to keep my emotions and my magic under control, so that I wasn’t afraid of it anymore.  

Laxus and the rest of the thunder legion alternated between being the cool aunt/uncles to over protective parents … especially the dragon slayer.

Master Makarov was the sagely grandparent who offered words of wisdom (even when he was completely hammered)

Lucy, Lisanna, Juvia, Cana, Erza and Levy acted as older sisters who helped to guide her and protect her.

The youngest dragon slayer had been my best friend before the Tenryou incident, given that she was the closest to my age and we had the most in common. We were both alone before finding a home within the guild and sharing the same opinion when it came to fighting. Given the difference in age after the seven year gap, we were still close but I doubt that we would ever get the same level of friendship back to what it used to be.

The boys of the guild were a completely different story compared to everyone else, as they alternated between teaching me to be stronger, being overprotective, teasing me, protecting me and taking me on missions. These were memories I wouldn’t change for the world.

After the Grand Magic Games happened things started to look up, all the pain and loneliness I felt during the previous seven years just washed away. On another positive note, I got to meet Sting again. However in the midst of all the happiness I was feeling, there was something that changed all of that –

Tartaros

Tartaros came and changed everything. We all lost something in the battles we fought whether it was a friend, a parent, a home, our dignity, our pride, the ability to have faith in our own strength.

What most of us didn’t realise was what we would lose after the battle, something that cut any of us deeper than any of the battle wounds.

Natsu Dragneel had promised me, while I was adjusting to my life at the guild, that he would always be there to protect me and that he would never abandon me, a promise he had broken twice already. The first time was when they were trapped on Tenyrou Island seven years ago and this time he had abandoned Lucy, Fairy Tail and me after the Tartaros incident.

He broke his promise again. He left me all alone, again.

………

While Sabertooth had been celebrating the return of Minerva back into the Guild, they were unaware of what had happened to the Fairies during their party. That was until a rain soaked (Name) appeared in the entrance way of the hall, looking completely dishevelled.

“(Pet Name)?” Sting queried when he caught sight of the intruder, rushing over to her and wrapping his arms around her soaking wet frame “What’s wrong? What happened?” the words she spoke next shocked him and the rest of Sabertooth.

“Master disbanded Fairy Tail”
