"Aye, sir!"

"WHATTHEHECKGETOUTYOUBUTTHOLES!"I scream, whipping my head around to face the pranksters. Natsu and Happy. Of course.

"We're sorry, we didn't mean to scare you…that bad." Natsu says with a shy smile.

"Aye." Happy agrees.

"I'm not talking to you two until you go back outside,knock on my door, and ask to come in." My eyes narrow. Natsu spins around on his heel and stomps down the hall, dragging Happy behind him. I follow them to the living room and lie down on the couch.

"Knockity knockity!" Natsu yells from outside. "May I come in?"

"Yes, you may enter." I announce. They enter together.

"Do you guys want ice cream?"

"AYE, SIR!" Happy yells. Natsu nods excitedly. I already knew their answer.

"Okay, Natsu, strawberry or chocolate?" I ask, pouring milk into a large bowl.

"Strawberry." Natsu says, eyebrow raised in confusion.

"What 'bout you, Happy?"

"Ditto." He responds. I roll my eyes at him and pour strawberry syrup into the milk. I grab my whisk and start to whip the mixture.

"Why's there only strawberry milk?" Natsu asks. I place three bowls around the larger one.

"Just watch, flamebrain." I say. I spin the bowl on the countertop.

"Spirit of The Snow, I call on you to FREEZE!" I whisper. A ice-cold chill runs through she room. A big, slightly transparent blue snowflake appears over the bowl, freezing the milk.

"Woah, Kloey, that is AWESOME!"Natsu whoops.

"Well, are you gonna hand me the scoop?" I question with a smile. Happy puts the scoop in my palm. I scoop ice cream into all the bowls.

"Natsu, this makes your Dragon Slayer magic look boring. All you can do is melt stuff!" Happy says, scooping ice cream into his hands and stuffing it in his face. I roll my eyes and open my fridge, taking out a plain low-fat yogurt.

"C'mon, Kloey, not that stuff!" Natsu complains.

"This is part of the diet I'm on."

"Nope. You are eating this." Natsu says, pushing the last bowl of ice cream in my direction. I eye the small bowl of the sweet dessert warily. It looks so good. I grab it ravenously and dig in. The sweet strawberry melts in my mouth.

"There we go!" Natsu whoops. I flash a wide, happy grin. This is why I joined Fairy Tail. To have loads of fun. And eat a lot. As I polish off the pile of strawberry sweetness, I start to talk again.

"So guys, it's dark out, and really late." I begin. "Wanna stay?"

"Sure. If it's okay with Happy." Natsu agrees. Happy nods.

"Well then, time for bed. The couch is all yours."

I stand in a dark room with newspaper covering the walls. As I walk to the wall left of me, I notice the words are in a different language. The words frantically dance on the paper, almost as if they are trying to warning me about something. I feel a hand touch my shoulder. It is cold and lifeless. I spin around to face the person behind me. My reflection stares back at me with lifeless eyes and a tortered smile. Her skin is a ghostly white, and her lips as black as death. My eyes grow wide as she hugs me and whispers in my ear.

"The choices you make/The choices affect him, too/ And the choice will hurt." She whispers. I furrow my brow in confusion. Who is she talking about? My reflection takes a breath and continues. "The pain will never stop./ The torture will never end./ And you will die." A sudden rush of realization and terror washes over me.

I know exactly who "he" was.
