Hello! What is up? A new chapter! The 40th chapter to be exact! Yay! To be honest I don't have anything to say. Except that this story is nearing its ending point. Which brings me to why it took me so long to get this chapter updated. I've been working on summaries for my others stories, that I could write after this story is over. Sorry. I know you guys don't want to hear anything I just said. But, it's happening. Yeah. But! I have a lot of stories I could do, so that's exciting! And I swear to god, you bitches better vote on which story you guys want because only 3 people voted last time, and I might kill some one of I don't get more than 10 vote for which story you want!!!! Anyway, I would like to dedicate this chapter to natalielarahart! She is a new follower!!! Yay! Just a reminder, get ready for the ending of this story. Cause there's literally like 2 maybe 3 chapters left. I'll be lucky if I can stretch it out to 4. So be ready! And one more thing, my computer is broken so I don't get to type in that. And I wrote chapters faster on my computer. So it might be a little slow. Love you natalielarahart! Love you guys! Enjoy the chapter!

POV: Lucy

'My anchor. My family.' 

I thought as I put the Aquarius's blade down.

"No." I said.

"What?" My father asked, as he opened his eyes and looked at me.

"I said no." I repeated, and put Aquarius's key away. "I'm not going to kill you." 

"Why not?" He asked me.

"Because you're not worth it." I told him. "You never have been worth it." He then he just sat there for a few moments staring at me. Then he gritted his teeth, and got up and he started walking away, behind me. I looked up at Natsu and he nodded to me, telling me to add what needed to be. "However." My father stopped. "I can't just let you get away with what you've done." I turned my body to face him.

"What?" He asked as he turned back to me.

"You heard me." I said. "Do you really think you'll get away with what you've done to me? My mother? And what you almost did to my family?" I asked as I stepped closer, and closer to him. He slowly backed away a bit.

"But you just said that-." He started to say but I cut him off.

"I know what I said!" I yelled at him. As he backed away he tripped on a rock and fell to the ground in his back. "That doesn't mean I'm going to kill you. Yet."  I watched him gulp out of nervousness. 

"What are you going to do?" He asked.

"Sit up." I demanded. He sat up on his knees, and stared at me in fear. I stood directly in front of him. Then I placed my hand on the top of his head stared at him. "I, Lucy Heartfilia, the reincarnation of the Celestial Queen. Forbid you, to use any form of magic. From now, to the end of your life. I hereby extract your magic, until your soul has been born into another life. Toru!" (Toru: *Take* in Japanese) Then there was a black light that flowed in his veins and it traveled up into my hand. 

"What are you doing to me?" My father asked me, as he started sweating hardcore.

"I'm taking away your powers." I told him. "So you can never hurt another living being again." Then the last of his magic traveled out of his body and I held my hand so it was palm up, and there sat a black ball of light.

"Is that . . . . . .?" Natsu started to ask.

"Yep." I said. "Magic that was used for pure evil." Then I crushed it in my hand, and it broke like glass. I watched as the small pieces fell towards the ground, and disappeared. Then I reached down into my father's pocket and took his Celestial Spirits. I held them in my hand and closed it, hiding the keys from plain sight. Then when I opened it, there was eighteen little lights, all different colors, floating in my hand.

"Are those. . . . ?" Erza started to ask, but stopped.

"These are his spirits." I said nodding and closed my hand again and then threw them up into the sky, and they were on their way. After I could no longer see them I looked down at my father. "This is your one and only chance. Leave, and never come near me, or my family again. Or I will kill you. Do you understand?"

"Yes." My father said.

"Alright." I said, and turned away from him and walked towards my fellow students. My family. They all smiled at me, but then they lost their smiles and Natsu yelled my name as he and everyone else ran towards me. I spun my body to the side and grabbed the wrist that was coming at me with a knife and held it in the air as I pinned the his shoulder to the ground.

'Why couldn't he listen?'

I closed my eyes and broke my father's arm and it made him drop the knife and I pulled him upright, so he was on his knees again. He screamed in pain, but I didn't care. I warned him, and he didn't listen. And now I was going to keep my end of the deal. I placed both my hands on the sides of his head and a magic circle appeared under both me and my father.

"I told you." I said, and I started the extraction. My hands glowed white and so did my father's eyes. He screamed in pain as I tore his soul out of his body. Then there was a white flash of light and everyone shielded their eyes. When they looked back at me, what they saw is not what I would have ever wanted them to see. I was standing there holding a small black ball of light. And my father's body was nowhere to be found, just a pile of ashes on the ground, that was once the man that caused me the most pain in my life.

"What is that?" Gray asked. Natsu took a deep breath.

"It's her father's soul." He said and looked at me. But I couldn't look him in the eye, I couldn't look anyone in the eye.

"Why is it black?" Levy asked.

"A soul is born pure white, blinding even." I said as I stared at his soul. "But the more evil the person becomes in their life, the darker it will get."

"Lucy." Natsu said, because he didn't just sound worried. He sounded scared. "Can you come her a second?" He asked as he motioned for me to walk forwards. But he wasn't looking at me, he was looking begin me. I then turned around to see someone I actually knew quite well.

"Hello Death."
