Chapter Five: Its to much to handle

Lucy's pov

I had taken my first steps to the second floor of the building Levy told me was a place called Fairy Tail. Levy hadn't told me anything, not about how I got hurt or how i seemingly lost my memory. 

By the looks on the peoples faces I knew that I wasn't being held against my will. Ive never seen someone so compassionate before. Or maybe I did. And I just couldn't remember it. 

When I looked at Levy or Natsu. I felt this strange aching in the pit of my stomach. I had a feeling that those two were very close to me before all of this happened.

There was one person that I had no idea what this feeling was. I met a little three year old girl yesterday that seemed to touch my heart with her smile more than anyone ever could. 

Levy told me that was the first time in my entire life I had actually met the girl. But I knew we had to have met somewhere, I felt as if we instantly had a bond. Almost one of a mother and daughter.

Amaya, her name was. Was a beautiful child. She had blond hair that had little hints of pink in it. Her eyes looked dark and mysterious. They looked a bit like Natsu's actually.

I looked out over what they called a guild, This was it? This was Fairy Tail? It looks just like a filthy pub...I'll admit I was expecting something alittle better than this. 

Maybe nicer or..actually Im not sure what I was expecting. I guess I cant say that I got my hopes up.  I wasnt sure what a Wizards Guild was supposed to look like.

Even though I guess that this was like my home.

"Is that...." I heard someone say as my presents began to attract attention.

"Its...no...it cant be, shes awake." Another mouth uttered.

"Its Lucy. Oh my god." 

"LUCY!"

Soon half the guild was up looking at me. I felt a bit embarrassed. I glanced over at Levy who was nearly in tears. It seemed that non of the other guild members were aware that I was awake.

I looked back to the rest of the guild. I saw more than my fair share of tears that moment.  A beautiful, redheaded girl in a shinny suit of armor step forward. 

The expression on her face turned my stomach inside out. It really was gut wrenching. So much pain. So much sadness i could see in her eyes. Yet her lips formed a joyful smile. 

"That, Lucy. Is Erza Scarlet. One of your most loyal and loved friends. Shes been waiting along time to see you up and walking again. A few months ago she convinced herself that you never would wake up..." Levy muttered only loud enough for me to hear.

I watched Erza who began to walk up the steps. If no one knew that I was awake then that means they dont know that I have no memory of them.

When Erza reached me her arms immediately found there way around me, tightly embracing me in a hug. 

"Oh my god Lucy...I was so worried about you. Don't you ever do that to me again." I could hear the strain and the effort it took to get those words out.

I didnt want to make matters worse by telling her the current situation. So I stayed silent and let her have her moment with who ever she remembered me to be.

Erza soon let go and looked me in the eyes. "Its so good to have you back."

I forced a smile and still said nothing. It was really weird doing this. I wasnt sure how to react to it all. Suddenly waking up and not remembering a single thing or person that was in my life.

I looked back out to the guild, there were so many people. Lots of things ran through my already full mind. I honestly wanted to know what my relations where to any of these people. If I had a lover here in the crowd.

"Lucy Heartfilia." A voice said behind me. 

I turned around, considering the only thing I knew about myself was my name. I was kind of shocked when I came face to face with a tiny old man.

I raised my eyebrows, I was about to ask who he was when Levy butted in.

"Hello Master of Fairy Tail." Though it may seem stupid for anyone else to hear something that seems so blatantly obvious. But to me it told me exactly who he was in my "life".

"Hello." I said.

"How do you feel?" The old man asked.

"Good as new!" I smiled.

"Master, can Lucy and I talk to you in privet please?" Levy asked from beside me.

"Yes of course." We ended up following the old man down the stairs and straight down through the crowd that made up the excitable Fairy Tail.

As we stepped out the front doors I was greeted by a somewhat familiar gust of air brushing gently against my skin.

We walked down to a very lovely spot, not far from Fairy Tail itself. It was what seemed to be a park of some sort. With a giant tree providing shade. As we neared it though, I did not have a pleasant feeling.

I thought I might though since parks are for having fun or relaxing. I stared at the tree when we stopped. There was something strangely familiar about it. But there was honestly no way that I was going to be able to place it.

"Is there something you two would like to tell me?" He spoke up, taking me from my thoughts of the mysterious tree.

"Yes, its something very important that needs to be brought to the attention of everyone in the guild regarding Lucy." Levy spoke for me.

Im glad she did. I wasnt sure how I was supposed to tell this man that I had no idea who he was or even who I was for that fact, other than what I have been told.

The master looked up at me. There was question in his eyes, or maybe it was concern. But either way it was a terrible sight. I could instantly tell that this man cared alot for the Lucy that he knew. 

Now we have to break the news to him that the Lucy he knows is now gone, and she may never be returning. 

"What might that be?"

"Its hard to explain. Its nothing good though, something that for the past two days she has been awake has been very hard to grasp..." Levy began rambling.

I could tell this was hard to say for her. She tended to get emotional every time she explain to me about how my life really is.

"Levy dear, take your time. Please just tell me what you have to say." The master's voice was very calm.

"Lucy has no memory of anything from before she woke up two days ago. Not me, not Natsu, not Fairy Tail, not even herself. " Levy got straight to the point.

"What!?" He nearly yelled.

Master turned to me once more. A new look filled his big eyes. One that stabbed me in the chest like an iron dagger. 

"How is this possible?" Master asked. 

"Wendy says this might have been prevented if she wasnt unconscious for so long. But there is nothing we can do about her memory." 

"There is nothing we can do.." He repeated.

"What about Ultear?" I heard a voice that i remember belonging to Natsu suggest from the bushes, it wasnt but two seconds later did he come rushing into sight.

"What do you mean?" I asked. "Who's Ultear?"

"Ultear you could say is a time wizard." Master said.

"She has the ability to take certain objects and either reverse or speed up the time of it. She could use it on your brain!" Natsu smiled almost wildly.

Levy sighed. "Dont you think we would have already done that if it was possible? We had Jellal contact Ultear this morning when you were with Lucy and Amaya. She says that something like that is far out of her abilities, sadly. She does wish she could be of help."

It made me feel so useless all of a sudden, hearing about what all these other wizards can do. A time wizard? Wow that sound utterly amazing. I wish I would meet my spirits.

Wait...

"Guys..I know this has nothing to do with the current situation.. But can I meet my spirits?" I asked.

Natsu looked at me and smiled. "Yeah! They are at my house...i mean your house. Sorry I moved in after a year just so your landlord wouldn't kick you out."

I felt a smile for on my face. It was cute actually, him telling me all the things he did for me while I was asleep. Now I hear hes been taking care of my house for me. How sweet.

Natsu pulled me along through the town that levy told me was Magnolia. It was a very large town, that was full of people. But as Natsu and I walked through Iit, I could hear the same kind of whipering that I heard in fairy tail among  the towns people.

"Is that Lucy?"

"Looks like it."

"I thought she died?"

"I thought she disappeared."

I chose to ignore them for the time being. I was about to see what my life was really like. Although it was clear that I didnt actually live with Natsu, it seemed he had made himself quite at home in my place. 

I guess it really isnt mine. Its the other Lucy's. Because I dont have any memory of it. Which in an odd way is very strange.

Soon we arrived at a cute little house crammed in between two more. Natsu held the door open for me and I stepped in. It looked so lovely.

Everything was very neatly placed and clean. When I looked at Natsu I didnt expect him to be such a clean freak. He looked more like the, im going to trash everything type.

"I spend alot of time each day cleaning it for when you come home. You were always so up tight about me making messes in your house. I figured you'd kill me if you got back and it was a wreck. I hope you like it."

So that was it. It was me who was the clean freak. "Thank you Natsu. Its really sweet of you."

Natsu gave me a tour of the house. I was a bit shocked when I got into my room and saw a wall that was nearly covered in packages. 

"Yeah, over the past three years people have been sending you things. Telling you to get well. It became to much to hold at the hospital so I brought them here for you."

I felt a sudden wave of guilt as I sat down on the bed. I made all these people worry. I wonder what really happened. I looked up at Natsu who was watching me from the other side of the room.

"Natsu.." I began

"Yeah?"

"What really happened that day?"

"You mean the day you were knocked unconscious?"

"Yes, that one. I wanna know what I did. Why I made everyone worry for so long."

"You save us." He said.

"What?"

"You took a very deadly hit for me...Ezra and the rest of your team. You stood up and didnt back down."

Shame stuck me. Did I really do that? I wasn't sure it was a good thing or not.

"Im sorry."

"You have nothing to be sorry about. You had courage. Yes we were all scared, no terrified that you wouldn't make it. But you are here now. Nothing could be better." He smiled.

I shook my head. "No, I could have my memory and you wouldn't have to be telling me all this."

"You dont understand Lucy, Weather you remember us or not doesn't matter. All that matters is that you are here with us, alive."

It was the first time since I woke up that I had really thought about who I was. I thought maybe I was being held captive. But no, that's far from the truth.

Theses people care so deeply about me. It kills me to know that I dont feel the same way. Only because I dont really know them.

That's why I have to find a way, find a way to bring the past back. I have to remember.
