Chapter 21
I stood on the edge of the cliff, as I looked at the damage I caused. The Guild was completely torn down, and everyone was hurt pretty bad. We got lucky that we didn't actually lose anybody. I couldn't help but lower my head.
"Lucy?" Happy said next to me. "Are you okay?" I walked forwards towards the group of people and when I got to the edge of it, I stopped.
"Master." I said loudly and everyone quieted down at the sound of my voice, and I could feel everyone turn to look at me. I dropped to my knees and lowered my head to the ground, with my forehead touching the back of my hands. "I am so sorry." I cried.
"Now Lucy." I heard Master say, but I didn't dare look up. "You have no reason to apologize."
"Of course I do." I blurted out. "I'm the reason this has happened. I'm the reason we no longer have a Guild Hall, and that everyone is hurt!" I took in a loud shaky breath and sat up, and looked Master in the eye. "I should have never joined Fairy Tail! I knew the consequences of joining a non-Elf Guild, but I still did it out my own selfish needs!" I cried.
"Now Lucy Heartfilia! You listen to me!" I heard from my side and when I looked there stood Levy with Jet and Droid behind her.
"Levy." I said, as she walked towards me. I flinched as she moved her hands towards me, and I thought she was going to hit me. But instead grabbed my cloak and pulled me up off the ground. She was a lot stronger than she looked.
"Don't you dare say sorry again!" She yelled at me and her wings started fluttering faster than I have ever seen them before. "You took a chance! A random chance! And it's not your fault that the game was written so that you would be hunted! None of this is your fault, and I swear to you that you're not going to hear it come out of anybody else's mouth!" After that it was silent. Levy let go of my cloak and wrapped her arms around me and we both fell to the ground in a hug.
"She is right." Master said and I didn't let go of Levy as I looked at him. "I promise you, everything is going to be alright." I hugged Levy tighter as I cried into her shoulder, until I felt another hand on my back. I pulled away a little to see Natsu kneeling next to us. I broke away from Levy and tackled Natsu to the ground in a hug.
"Thank you!" I yelled into his chest. He had risked his life for me. He was about to die, for me. I sat back up pulling on his scarf to pull him off the ground just enough for him to be in range of my hand. And I slapped him. "But don't you ever do that again!" I yelled at him and he sat up on his elbows rubbing his cheek. He laughed and smiled at me.
"No promises." He told me.
