Chapter 4: Lucy Heartfilia

It has been almost four hours since I got on this train and almost five since I was at my apartment. I will have to thank the landlady, Emma, for telling my friends that they could check my room. I sure hope they found my letter. I got a floating letter from Gramps, the guild master, wishing me luck. He promised if they didn't get the letter to tell them all tonight. He also said that he was able to lecture Natsu for four hours before he decided to run out. I am happy that he is back but it is my turn to go do major training myself. I have about another hour train ride then a twenty minute drive. I am super excited but a part of me is not. I want to turn back and head back to the guild but I also want to get stronger.

"Hello miss, may I see your ticket, please," One of the train men ask interrupting my thoughts. I hand him my ticket and smile. Once you are out of Fiore you have to hand a ticket to the train conductor, or else you get kicked off the train. I wish that I could have just one more moment at the guild, but I can't have everything. When I get back, I will be stronger than everyone else. I will be so strong they won't even know it is me anymore.

"Miss, is this seat taken?" A elder woman asks.

"No, ma'am. You may have it," I smile towards her. To totally honest I actually didn't want anyone to see me, this woman could prove as a witness. I can't be found. "I have an odd request."

"Yes, young lady?" The woman seemed to perk up a bit.

"Do you mind not telling anyone you saw me here?"

"Why, of course not. I won't tell anyone," She says as she sits down.
