Levy's POV

" It'll be Mary who's name right now is Mercury. " I said.

" Levy-chan don't tell me... " Lucy-chan started.

" That's right I'm the one who brought her here. " I sadly said.

" Shrimp... " Gajeel whispered.

" It all began... "

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Story Begins

>> One year and Two months after Jean has died.

The guild have more members. Right now I am in a bookstore to buy of course, new books.

I saw a book with a blue and white crystal on it. It reminds me of the beautiful crystal blue eyes of Eliza and the white hair of Jean. When I was about to grab it another girl with platinum yellow hair with some shades of pink and sea blue eyes. She's quite cute.

" Hello. " she smiled.

" You want the book? " I asked.

" Well, yes. " she answered.

" You can have it if you want. " I said.

" Really? Oh, thank you. I've been looking for this all these years. " she said.

" Here. " I give her the book.

" Thank you again. See ya. " she thanked and went to a girl with red shiny hair with night blue eyes.

" Look. I have found it. " she said to the other girl.

" Thank goodness. So, all we have to do is read it and we can find them and solve the mystery. " the other girl said as they paid for the book.

The platinum yellow haired girl waved at me before going out of the bookstore and I also waved back.

I wonder what kind of book it is. I didn't even read the cover.

>>The next day...

I am already walking home but I saw someone selling ice cream.

" One bubblegum flavored please. " I said and the boy vendor nodded.

Another buyer came beside me, " The usual order, please. "

" Oh, good afternoon, Mary. " the vendor smiled at the buyer next to me.

I looked at the buyer and realized that she was the girl I met at the bookstore yesterday.

" It's you. " I exclaimed.

" You're that girl from the bookstore. " she smiled.

" Where's that friend of yours yesterday? " I asked.

" Well she went somewhere. " she replied.

" One bubblegum flavored ice cream and one vanilla flavored ice cream. " the vendor said.

I smiled and paid for my ice cream.

" Thank Mr. Flaser. " the girl smiled and paid for her ice cream.

" Mind continuing our conversation over that bench? " I asked.

" Sure. " she replied.

We went to sit in the nearest bench to us.

" About the book, thank you again. " she said.

" Your welcome. What's your name? " I asked.

" Mary, Mary Toran. You? " she asked as she licked her ice cream.

" I'm Levy McGarden, it's nice seeing you again. Uhm... you said that you've been searching for that book for how many years, right? So why do you keep on looking for it? Is it important to you? "

" Well yes. It's made by an important person to me. "

" What kind of book was it? "

" You didn't read the cover? "

" Uhm... no. I was fascinated by the cover. "

" It's a tragic story. All of the book she made always have a happy ending but that book was her last book. It was different because it was a tragic story. But it was still nice. "

" What's the name of the author? I would like to read her books. "

" Just say to the seller 'EN'. "

" EN? "

(Made up author.)

" That's what is written in every book she made. Well, I have to go. I still have a part-time job. See you again. " she waved as she left.

Will we ever meet again. I thought as I went home.

>> Five days later...

I was going to the bookstore to buy new books of EN. She's really a good author but I wonder why her last book, Fate, was not followed by another book. I become a fan of ET.

But it's weird because EN's last book was published about 9 years already. I think I should get some information about my idol. A fan should know everything about their idol. EVERYTHING.

I was having my fighting spirit mode not minding the people staring at me. I bought five books of EN namely: Sweet Lullaby, Spark in the Eye, Forever Wind, Endless, and... the one that really caught my eye, not because of the cover but because of the title, ...the fifth book I bought is titled: Frozen Heart.

Someone tap my shoulder while I was sitting in the bench, " Hello. "

I turn around and saw Mary, " Hello Mary. "

" I see... you got addicted by the books of EN. "

" She's a good author. "

" That's nice. " she sat down beside me and looked down.

" Anything wrong? "

" Nothing really. "

" You can tell me. " I assured her.

" Well you see, my brother I mean older brother. He is sick. He is the one working for us also. Now since he can't work, so me and my other older brothers need to work harder. My five part-time jobs can no longer sustain our needs. "

" Are you a mage Mary? "

" I am. "

" What kind? "

" Water, a water mage. Why'd you ask? "

" Do you want to join a guild? "

" A guild? Is that legal? "

" Of course. "

" Can you help me join? "

" Sure. " I smiled.

Mary joined the guild and easily adopt to the guild. She was more sociable than me so she had more friends but me and her are best friends.

>>Six months after...

I saw Mary helped Eve from Blue Pegasus. So I made something that I really would regret. I told the master of Blue Pegasus about our crimes but I was wearing a platinum yellow wig and a cloak.

Master was called. But thank goodness the master of Blue Pegasus thought that it was just a prank. Back in the guild, Erza and the members were angry because master found out about Jean since he was gone during the week that Jean died. So master went back to the magic council to clear out the misunderstanding.

And they were angry because the guild was about to get expelled and we were about to put into prison.

" Who told the master of Blue Pegasus?! " asked Erza.

This is my time to get back what I own, my place in the guild. " Erza, I saw... someone in our guild that told a member of Blue Pegasus about it. " I pretended that I am shivering.

" Who is it and why didn't you told us earlier? " asked Gray.

" She warned me. She said that she will kill me if I will tell you. "

" Who is it? Don't worry will protect you. " Erza said.

" Erza-san is right. Don't worry, I'm right here for you. " Mary hugged me.

Don't worry Mary, I'll be alright but I wonder about you. " You guys might not believe me. "

" Don't worry we will. We promise. " Lisanna assured me.

" It's... M-m-mary. " I said as I run away from her.

" Huh? " Mary was dumpfounded.

" I saw you. You were telling Eve of Blue Pegasus about it. " I said.

" How did you know about that? " Mira asked.

(Mira is referring about the crime that they did to Eliza and Jean.)

" No I don't know anything and I was- " she was cutted by Erza.

" Everyone protect Levy. " Erza ordered as they surrounded Mary.

" You are in love with Eve. And when he said you should tell him the secrets of Fairy Tail to agree on you being his girlfriend. You are so stupid to be fooled by that guy! " I added.

" No I- " Mary was cutted again.

" Mary! Did you meet up with Eve? " Erza furiously asked.

" No, I just- " Mary was stopped.

" Answer my question! " Erza ordered.

" Yes, but I- " Mary was suddenly attacked by Jet.

" You dare to scare Levy. " Jet grabbed her neck.

" No! I- " she was grabbed tightly by Jet and lifted her.

That's what you get for trying to take my place. I smirked.

She was attacked by all the members until she can no longer stand.

" No, I just- " she wasn't able to finish her sentence because Natsu hit her head so hard on the floor that caused her to cough blood.

" You put our guild in harm. " Natsu halfway burned the body of Mary. " You're more stupid than anyone else. "

" I-I at least not as stupid as you people. " she said.

" What did you say?! " asked Natsu as he was grabbing the hair of Mary tightly.

And then she said something that made us froze in place.

" W-well, *cough* didn't you caused *cough* two of your guild members to die. Namely Eliza Nova and Jean Barilles. " she said.

Natsu was shocked that he let go of Mary's hair and Mary fell on the floor coughing blood.

" How'd you know about that?! " I asked her.

" You said *cough cough* I'm the one who said it to those members of Blue Pegasus *cough* so, why are you surprised to know that I know about it. " she smirked.

And then their stared at me, " Levy... "

" I thought you're going to believe in me! Why- " I was cutted when she said a more shocking thing.

" And it seems you guys are doing the same crime again. Ha! Killing me like how you killed Eliza and Jean. Hahaha... right? " she sarcasticaly smiled.

And when we noticed what we were about to do again, Natsu moved away from Mary.

" Scared? Scared to do the same thing again? Or scared on admitting your crimes? Which one? " she said.

We just keep quiet.

She slowly tried to stand up, " You guys are the real stupids because you are tricked again. Without any proofs you kill people, not just any people, but your guild members.

And such a funny fate isn't it? First you killed my nephew, Eliza. I am younger but I am her aunt. Second, you killed my childhood best friend, Jean. Such fate. You murderers. " she sarcastically said.

" You know... them? " I asked.

" Well, to finish your business. " she put her hands on the floor. " I am sorry Eliza. "

She froze the whole guild, " You want me to die, right? Well I'll give you what you want. But remember, you are the real stupids. I am never going to trust you and when I return I'll give you your party.

Remember Fairy Tail this is your fate. " she said and then a sea blue gun made out of ice appearred and then the shocking part is she... killed herself. But no blood came out. Instead, she turned into small pieces of ice and soon melted.

We were frozen in place. We were having the third time that we saw one member got killed because of us. Her family were sad because we said that Mary went to a mission and never returned. But the truth is we hid it.

I told them about the truth. At first they were so angry at me but soon forgive me. But me, I can't forgive myself for doing that to my nakama. And keep on hearing her words in my dreams. Ever since then I learned my lesson.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>End of the Story

" After her death I can't sleep well. I read books to get her out of my mind. But it still keeps on reminding me of her. " I sadly said.

" I never knew you are this stressed out, Levy-chan. " Lucy-chan hugged me.

" The next one? " Charle asked.

" I guess I have to be the next one to tell about... "
