I had to get stronger in order to kill Lucy . If my sensations were not wrong , I had felt the limit to her power when I strangled her . She was stronger than most of the witches I had killed . My training duration was extended , I had trained in the morning and evening . I practiced my swords fighting in the morning while I practiced increasing my spiritual energy and transmutting it to Genisys in the evenings . After transmutting my my energy , I got tired . It was tiring to transmute energy from one to another . That day , I went to sleep without having dinner . I had a dream . A dream about mom .

I was a child , mom often took care of me . She always made my favourite veggie soup , and cooked rice . One day , I saw two Lucys in my room at night . They looked alike , but I could see the difference . The taller one was Lucy , while the shorter one was the other Lucy . I guessed it was another Lucy or even maybe her sister . I was sitting on the floor , leaning against my closet . I was scared . The Lucys were fighting hand to hand . Lucy stood in front of me , blocking my view . The other Lucy had a scared look on her face , like she had realised she'd done something wrong . Just then , I saw mom running in my direction , and standing in front of me , another one blocking my view again . Just then , I saw the other Lucy cast a spell , mom had pushed Lucy down on the floor , she had taken the attack . The other Lucy ran away , I crawled to mom and shook her asking if she as fine . Then , I saw her whispering some words to Lucy . Lucy nodded her head and casted at spell on me .

I woke up with the help of my alarm clock . Great , I thought . I sighed and went to train . As I trained , I wondered what that dream was . It felt real , but then again , it was just a dream . Even so , I still thought about it . I didn't even realise that Lisanna was there until she suddenly back-hugged me . I was shocked , I pulled her arm and pushed her on the ground . I ativated Genisys and pointed my sword at her , putting it beside her neck . I honestly thought it was Lucy . Without realising it , I was glaring at Lisanna with eyes that could kill . Lisanna was shocked and scared , she was shaking with fear . Then , I had realised it was Lisanna . I dropped my sword and rushed over to her . I asked ," You okay ? " She was still shivering , she replied ," W-why d-did you ... a-activate ... your G-genisys ...? " I said ," Sorry .. I thought you were someone else . " Lisanna calmed down after a while . I asked , "Have you calmed down for now ? " She nodded her head and asked ," That someone you thought of .. was it that girl you mentioned .. ? " I answered ," Yeah . " There was silence for a minute . Lisanna asked ," Why .. do you- " Just then , a group of soldiers walked past . They were a badge of the official witch-hunters . It was something like a guild , but more like an organisation . As individuals , they were called ' Brothers ' . They put a 'Brother' in front of their names . The ' Sisters ' were for women that had the guts to be a witch hunter . There was only one woman by far , Erza Scarlet , she was known to be merciless and she was one of the leaders of the organisation . The organisation would differentiate themselves by imprinting a crest on their hand . Me , however , even though I was a witch hunter , I wasn't part of that organisation . I preferred to be independent and rely on myself only . I didn't like being ordered by someone . I have killed many witches , every one that I notice , I kill them mercilessly . The only witch that I haven't killed seen I've seen her was Lucy . I decided not to kill her and I wasn't ready to fight her straight on . I still had a long way to go . Lisanna sighed and said ," It's the 'Brothers' again . I wonder if they come here every morning . " I said ," Yeah , they do . " Just then , we heard stomps of metallic boots . It was Erza . She tied her scarlet hair in a ponytail and wore her usual metallic armour . She looked at Lisanna and commanded ," Lisanna , you're not allowed to be here . Go back to Elliotts before I tell on you . " Lisanna sighed and stood up . She asked ," Are you gonna send me back ? " She had the aura of authority surrounding her . She replied , " Of course . I wouldn't let you go by yourself in case you come back here again . " I had always thought of Erza ad my rival . I always wanted to have a fight with her , but I always lost . Then , I declared ," ERZA ! LET'S HAVE A MATCH ! " She immediately answered , putting up a hand ," No . " I said ," Tch . What a cold woman . " Devil horns came out of her head . She glared at me and said ," What did you say ..?! You wanna get killed ..?! " I immediately shook my head , trying not to get myself killed for saying that . Lisanna stood up willingly and waved bye to me . I waved back . She went with Erza , who was literally pulling her . It was almost six , I changed to my usual clothes and went to the training camp . As usual , dad was already there . But there was someone else there with him . It seemed like they were having a meeting , as they were standing in dad's tent . In there was a table , a map on it . I walked in and heard their conversation .

" But she's the daughter of Sena ! There's no way she could be- " Gray's father , Silver said . He realised I was there , and stopped talking . Gray had suddenly gone missing two years ago , he was my fighting partner , and we the best of friends .

" What brings you here , son ? " Dad asked .

" What were you guys talking about ?" I asked curiously .

" Nothing ," Dad answered .

" I don't think you should know about this , Natsu . " Sliver said , looking away .

" About what ? " I asked . I started to get frustrated .

There was silence in the tent . I frowned and asked ," Is this something I shouldn't know about ? Then all the more I should know ! " I banged the table . Just then , a soldier came in and said ," Sir , we've got the witch ! " The fathers looked at each other and nodded their heads . Both rushed out together . I wanted to go out but I could tell that Dad was telling the soldier something in mindspeak . Mindspeak were for people who were close to each other . They could talk to each other in their minds without saying it out . However , they weren't able to lie . But , even if they are very close , they had to touch each other's creststones in order to be able to mindspeak . I was about to follow Dad when the soldier blocked my way . Apparently , this soldier and dad were quite close . He was known as dad's right hand man and his name was ' Kei ' . I sighed and said ," Kei , let me through . " He said ," I have orders to not let you go through . " I frowned and drew my sword out . He drew his too . I said ," Let me through , Kei . I don't want to fight you . " Although I said that , I had really wanted to have a spar with him for once . I got excited and swung my sword at him . He avoided my attacks and said ," I too don't want to fight you . " Then , I had a plan . I tried to attack him in one direction until he stood in my original and I stood in his . Then , he realised what I had done . I smirked at him and ran off . I saw the Brothers , they were chaining someone . A witch . I walked forward and looked closer . I wanted to see if it was a powerful witch , then I would've wanted the privilege to kill her . I got a clear vision of the witch . I dropped my sword . I got shocked . What ..? Who was that ..? I .. saw wrongly .. didn't I ..? I did .. right ? It couldn't be .. I thought . I ran to the Brothers and tried to go through them . I said ," It's not her ! You got the wrong person ! PLEASE ! It can't be ! " At that time , I only saw her and only thought of her name .

Lisanna .. !
