First off, I apologize for this chapter being so late. I've been having a really hard time at home and school. I've had power outages and what not and many more personal things. So I am very sorry. Hopefully everything has been solved. Now I'm sooo sorry for that awful chapter riddled with mistakes. I fixed up this chapter and I hope this chapter is worth you guys reading. The last one wasn't very good at all. I'm so sorry for that. I feel really bad. I read over it and was like, "Ugh... Was I even awake?" I felt my stomach churn in disgust. Again sorry.

Lucy: Aw Fairy-chan. It's okay! People seemed to get past the mistakes and like it anyways!

Natsu: No being upset! Smile and do better next time.

Happy: Don't worry be happy!

Fairy: Aw thanks guys! I will work harder. Here we go! -a magic ball of light explodes and creates the scene.-

Lucy's P.O.V

I couldn't force myself back to sleep. My eyes wouldn't close. Instead they were stretched open wide with fear. I knew it was only a dream, created by my subconscious. My rational mind was cursing me for sending Natsu after something I'd witnessed while disoriented and still half asleep. But I was afraid. My hands wouldn't stop shaking. I could hardly breathe. My heart pounded loudly in my ears, alerting me that something wasn't right. Something was terribly wrong. Horribly, terribly wrong.

Irrationally, I was convinced it was my fault. I'd dreamt it and now it was going to occur. Whatever was happening, it was my fault because my screwed up conscious had concocted such a disgusting scene which may not even be real. I was psyching myself out. Creating a reason to fear what could be nothing. My physical reaction was only to the endorphins created when I was seemingly running for my friend. But that wasn't real either. I tried to convince myself of that but I couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that I'd only made it up. How could something meant only to be a dream, be so grotesquely vivid. How could I conceive something so ghastly in my sleeping state. My brain was still torn between what was real and what'd I had imagined.

I was hoping that taking deep breaths would help to. Though, to be perfectly honest, trying to calm myself after seeing such an awful scene seemed hopeless. So when the deep breaths didn't work, I curled into a ball to hold myself together. 'Oh god but what if it was real?' I shuddered so hard my teeth chattered. What I'd seen them do to her, in my nightmare, was so horrific I wanted to throw up. My stomach churned in disgust as I was forced to rewatch the ordeal behind my eyes again and again. My arms wrapped tightly around my torso in an attempt to keep myself from falling apart completely. I couldn't help but think it wasn't working. I felt like I was falling. Drowning in my own fear. I couldn't pull in enough air. I could only draw the conclusion that I was having a panic attack.

"Lucy?!" I visibly flinched when a voice, shrill with concern, called my name. I couldn't recognize who it belonged to. It was familiar but not at the same time. "H-hell-o?" The word came out quiet and broken because I couldn't stop shaking. Footsteps approached quickly and he was at my side. "Hey. Hey Lucy it's alright." He brushed my hair from my face and tapped his forehead against mine. An immensely calming gesture. He smelled of something fake but I knew it. I couldn't place the voice or scent. He murmured something under his breath and slowly I stopped shaking.

Inhaling calmly, I realized that the fear had finally been set at some ease. I directed my very curious half blind eyes at the person who had just helped me. Though I couldn't see him, I knew he gave me a dry smile but said nothing to explain himself. I bit the inside of my cheek and narrowed my eyes. For some off reason, this guy seemed unreal. Like, he someone I had met but it seemed unimportant at the time. I slowly slid into a defensive position, hoping he wouldn't notice. I seriously wished that I was still overly jumpy and he was just a student I had yet to meet.

"He told me to come back and check on you." I sighed deeply. 'That sounds like something Natsu would do.' I closed my eyes for a moment and inhaled through my nose before reopening them. "So Natsu told you to check on me. Did he have any news? Is my friend Lisanna okay? Did he find her?" Questions formed endlessly in my mind, along with the terrifying scenarios. Lisanna hurt or dead. Everyone hurt or dead. Natsu hurt or dead or worse. My breath quickened as the panic surfaced again.

Apparently so could he. Leaning forwards, he bumped his forehead against my own again and whispered the same words under his breath. This time I opened my blurry eyes and payed attention. 'No one that I know has the ability to do this. I would know if someone did. I would have felt it.' He stopped abruptly, probably sensing my suspicion. He said nothing for the first few minutes. It was silent.

"I wasn't expecting you to notice." His voice had changed. It grew deeper, more baritoned. I could feel the hair raising on my arms and the back of my neck. As the air thickened I twisted uncomfortably under the covers. "Who are you and where is Lisanna?" A low, sinister chuckle echoed through the room and a chill slid down my spine. The air felt toxic. My eyes widened and my hands flew to my neck. 'I-I can't breath!' My body convulsed painfully as I tried to suck clean air into my lungs to no avail. The edges of my impaired vision were darkening as the chuckle turned into a growl, full of arrogant triumph and sadistic malice.

"You wretch! You're friends have all left you. Every last one went to protect someone who has always been safe. Your precious traitor boy wasn't the one to send me." His words barely registered with me. I wanted to scream. I wanted to launch myself at him, baring tooth and claw but I could hardly move. When I tried desperately to yell for help, all that escaped my lips were strangled whines and choked sobs. My movements were limited beyond reason. I did manage to make a quick grab at his arm. I raked my nails over his flesh, tearing open his skin. Blood pooled, hot and red from the wound, and dripped slowly to the concrete floor of the nurse's office. He growled in pain and I showed my teeth, smiling in triumph. His low growl grew in volumes to a thunderous snarl. Suddenly I was paralyzed and my already dakrening vision was cut off entirely.

I choked out another strangled sob before going completely quiet. Tears trickled down my cheeks. I could feel myself slipping. I didn't want to leave. I didn't want to go. Silently, I begged god, the universe, any mystical force I could think of. I wanted to live. I wanted to live so bad my entire body was burning with the need to survive. The need to keep my eyes open. To keep breathing. To keep living. Absolutely every cell in my body was vibrating with that intense need. Every laboured breath the slid past my dry lips. Every flutter of my eyelids. Everything was in sync with that feriosious, burning, necessity. My fingers ached to curl into fists so I could strike out at my attacker. 'I don't want to die.' Blinking again, I gulped in another shallow breath of air. 'I don't want to die.' My jaw tightened as my teeth clenched together to keep from screaming and wasting precious air. 'PLEASE! I don't want to die!'

After the extreme sense of desperation passed, a huge wave of anger and sadness washed over me as I realized I wasn't going to live. I was going to die. Another tear dripped down my cheek as I went over the long list of things I would never experience. I would never finish my book. I would never finished high school. I would never have my first kiss I would never see my family again. A minute, bitter grin forced its way onto my lips when I thought of my home. Aquarius would be so mad. Aries would apologize over and over again. Virgo would punish herself beyond reason. And each would have someone to comfort them. Scorpio would comfort Aquarius, Loke would be there for Aries, Sagittarius would help Virgo. And those were only my personal staff. Though I liked to think of them more as friends. Everyone, everyone would suffer because I made a stupid mistake. But they would move on.

My father would be free though. He could finally move on with his life. Maybe meet someone new. Have a kid he loves. He could be happy and he could finally be free. Free at last. Of me. Of our terrible past. He could finally leave me behind with my mother's memory.

The combined thoughts of my father being free and of seeing my mother again, brought a blissful smile to my face. I would miss everyone. Especially my first real friends that I'd met here. Those who meant more to me than I could possibly of their faces appeared in my mind's eyes. Even the ones I had barely interacted with. The person who held the strongest presence in my mind, wasn't any of the girlsI'd met and made friends with. Or the guys I got along with. Instead it was Natsu. I pictured his grin. The annoyance in his glares. His kind gaze when he worried about someone. His laugh. How he loved to tease me. The incredible pain hidden behind the determination and strength. I could recreate every detail. I wanted to reach out and say good bye. To ask him to tell everyone that I would miss them. But I couldn't.

My smile vanished quickly when my air was cut off completely again. I heard him mumble something but I couldn't make it out. Internally, I struggled against my own body, writhing in fear. In reality, I couldn't even move my fingers. My lips parted to scream but there was no sound. That wouldn't stop me though. I still wanted to live. I continued to try with everything in me to move. To take a simple breath of air. To curl a finger. Nothing seemed to work.

'I can't die here. I'm not finished. I'm not ready yet. I want to do all the things I haven't. I don't want to die. I will not die. I WILL NOT DIE.'

Not a moment after I made my decision, I heard the door smash against the wall. Almost instantly, the pressure eased up and I could breath again. I gulped at the air greedily, my lungs no longer screaming for oxygen. "Lucy!" A voice I didn't recognize filled my ears. I turned my blind gaze to where it was coming from. My vision was returning steadily while I tried to regulate my breathing. I couldn't see him clearly but something stirred within me when my fuzzy gaze locked on his form. He was familiar and something inside of me knew it but I couldn't quite draw up an image of him. I tried to speak but I was exhausted. I heard my attempted assailant say something but my mind was too messed up to understand.

It wasn't long before there was only two left in the room. He was breathing heavily as he had only just chased my attacker off. I swallowed hard, hoping to build up enough tolerance to five my thanks. "Than-k you." I winced as my voice broke painfully but it earned me a relieved sigh from my saviour. "No problem. What are classmates form." His voice was warm and joking. I could hear the grin in his voice and I ended up giving a little smile too.

"So. What the hell was that all about?" He casually made his way over to my bed. I moved my legs so he could sit and he did. My vision sharpened for a moment and I saw him. He was breath taking. Very obviously my age with gorgeous white-blonde hair that seemed to almost have a blue tinge. His hair was complimented by his soulful forest green eyes. He was still smiling, with his perfect teeth and full red lips. I could feel a blush heating up my cheeks. I cleared my throat and swallowed again. "Not entirely sure. I think he-." Then I realized, he might not know about Natsu and the others.

He saw my hesitance and I think he made an educated guess. "I know about them." Feeling a slight bit of relief at his admittance, I continued. "I think he was an anon. A more powerful one because the others I have encountered. Everyone went to protect my friend Lisanna when I had a dream that she was being tortured by them but maybe it was wrong. The anon said she's always been safe. Or maybe he was tricking me. I'm not sure." A soft groan rumbled in my chest because of the pain in my raw throat.

He seemed to realize what was making me uncomfortable and stood. He walked over to the sink and filled a cup of water, then brought it back to me and sat back in his place on my bed. I gulped it down quickly after accepting it. "Thanks. That's a ton better." My vision had blurred out again but I knew he'd given me one of his award winning smiles again. "It's cool." He paused for a moment, as if mulling over whether he should ask his next question or not.

"So... Are you one of them?" The hesitance in his voice was obvious but it did nothing to cover the vast curiosity put behind every word. Curiosity that thoroughly intrigued me as I considered how to answer his odd but viable question. "We're not quite sure. There seem to be some attributes that I share but at the same time, I'm also different. I wasn't born here. I haven't displayed any type of magical ability. Despite this the anon continue to come after me." I grinned half heartedly. "But I don't mind because I have these amazing friends, real friends. I'm... Happy that I get to spend as much time with them as I do."

As I realized I was losing track of the original question, I circled back around. "So yeah... We have no idea if I am or not." I gave a small shrug with both of my shoulders..

He made a noise in the back of his throat as he stood up. "Do you feel able to stand? It might not be safe in here." I considered for a second before acknowledging the fact that he was probably right. Someone had just tried to kill me. Had found me, in the nurses office, and tried to murder me. 'I think I'm allowed to be a little mad. Not right now. I should probably get out of here.' I nodded and instantly felt a hand on my arm. As I swung my legs slowly out from under the blanket. I settled my feet on the ground and, with his support, I stood up.

"There we go! Oh by the way, my name is Mendax. Nice to officially meet you Lucy." I grinned despite myself. "Nice to meet you Mendax. I like your name." He chuckled awkwardly. "Yeah...My mom wanted to name me Wendle but my dad wanted to name me Max. So it was either Waxdle or or Mendax. I like the one I got out of the two if I'm being honest. People call me Max but if I was Waxdle... They would probably call me Wax. Not awful but not exactly appealing huh?" I pressed my lips together trying to hold back but I couldn't. Not a second later, I burst out laughing.

"Sorry Mendax." I immediately apologized when I got it out of my system. "I'm not laughing at you but your story was pretty funny. My mom was stubborn about my name. She absolutely insisted that they name me Lucy and wouldn't have it when my father even made an attempt at suggesting another name. She was utterly convinced that I would be her little Lucky Lucy." My chest ached as I spoke. A sad little smile to match my sad eyes.

We made our way to one of the classrooms, him helping me limp along while I took uneven, staggered steps. Mendax sat me down at a desk then turned the chair from the one in front of mine around to face me. "So how are you liking it in Magnolia? You just moved here right? Was there a reason?" My lips scrunched up to one side. "Yeah I did just move here but I think my dad used to take business trips here. Magnolia is beautiful and I love it a lot actually. It really feels like home." I could sense his smile. "That's good! I'm glad you're settling in great. Well other than the recent hospital trip but you seem pretty much all good now." I nodded slowly, recalling the events that had led to me having to visit the hospital, a place I really hate.

We sat and chatted for a while, talking about random things. I found out that he's lived here his whole life, he was born during the winter, and he'd found out about Natsu and everyone because a nagging feeling had led him to believe they were different. He investigated and found it to be true.

"It must have come as quite a shock, to find out you're classmates aren't who they say they are." He gave me a funny look as I said that and the air around him stilled suddenly. I only managed a quick glance at his face before my vision blurred again. "Yeah I guess it did. It was a shock to find out they are different." I noticed how he leaned on the word they but I didn't ask. It wasn't my business and I didn't want to pry.

It wasn't long before I heard a familiar, frantic voice shouting my name. "LUCY! LUUUUUCYYYYYY! LUCY WHERE ARE YOU!" As he drew closer, his voice grew louder. "I'd better go." I glanced sadly at Mendax. "Are you sure?" He made a noise in the back of his throat that told me he was. I sighed. "Well I hope I'll get to see you again soon." He touched my arms, then took off in the opposite direction of the other person tearing down the halls.

"LUCY! LUUUCY?!" Another voice joined his. "LU! LUUUUCY! LUUUU!" I recognized Levy's voice and got to my feet. "I'm in here! I shouted as loudly as I could manage. Immediately there were two forms, both panting quietly, standing in the doorway of the classroom. "Hi guys." I could hear a growl building up in his throat. "You were supposed to stay in the nurse's office! Why are you here?! And who was that?!" I held up my hands to show that I wasn't up for a screaming match.

"I... I was attacked in the nurse's office." I heard them both suck in a breath. "The person you just saw, he saved me. I'm okay now." Instantly Levy's arms were around me. She hugged me tightly and I suddenly was filled with this unexplainable sense of... well actually it was a combination of strong emotions. I felt guilty at the same time as relieved and above all I was so happy. So happy that I was able to see her again. I hugged Levy back as tightly as she was. "Thank you."

I heard a heavy sigh from the door frame. "What? Are we not allowed to hug Natsu?" I looked at Levy with surprise. She'd never snapped on Natsu or anyone that I knew of before. We let go of each other and Natsu strode over, patted my head which I hate, and grinned.

I quickly remembered the news I had been waiting for and let the head pat slide. "How is Lisanna? Did you make it in time? What happened? Is she okay? Wh-." Natsu cupped his hand over my mouth. "Shh. Lisanna is perfectly fine. She never was in any danger." I thought back to what the man who attacked me had said. "She was always safe..." Natsu whipped his head in my direction and Levy started to really listen. "Why do you say that?" I shook the memory off. "That's what my attacker said. He said she was never in any danger but I don't really know if that's the case."

Natsu's voice appeared next to my ear. "Is that all he said? It would have been nice if you'd told us right away." I felt my eye twitch in annoyance and I ducked away. "Oi. Gimme a break." He huffed loudly and straightened. "Levy could you give us a minute?" I heard a sound of understanding come from her direction then footsteps as she left the room.

Natsu didn't speak immediately. He prolonged the silence between the two of us. The longer the quiet continued the more worried I became. "What is it Natsu?" I found myself wrapped in warm arms with my face buried in the area between his shoulder and his chest. I felt his chin resting on the top of my head and his warmth seeping into me.

I lost it. All the images my mind had drawn up while I thought I was dying, every feeling I was suppressing. It all bubbled to the top and burst forwards. I clung to him, as if he was the only thing holding me up. He very well might have been.

"I was scared Natsu." I hiccuped. "I was so scared. I thought I was going to die." I felt a dark growl rumbling low in his chest but he held his anger back and simply held me as I cried. He stroked my hair to try to calm the crying and kissed the crown of my head. "Shhhhh. You're okay. You're not there anymore. You're right here. You're with me. It's okay."

He kept repeating himself, and it lulled me into a calm again. I breath out raggedly, exhausted by the ordeal I'd gone through today. I wasn't sure how to thank him so I clutched him tightly and murmured my thanks under my breath. He acknowledged what I said by mumbling, "No problem."

Finally we broke apart and I sat myself down, I knew if I didn't I would end up falling at some point. Natsu leaned against the desk across from where I sat and waited for me to explain everything that happened.

"I had just sent you away to see to Lisanna. I was in the middle of having a panic attack when he came in. He soothed my fear with some odd power I'd never experienced before. Then when I realized it was no one I knew, he changed and something came over my body. I couldn't move or breath." My voice started shaking. "He told me that Lisanna was always safe." Something struck a cord with me. I breath in deeply and steadied my voice. "He called you a traitor boy. What did he mean by that?"

Natsu outright ignored my question. "So then we should no longer be straining our efforts to protect Lisanna and you but rather just you. That'll make things easier, especially considering you're staying with me. No arguments because I won't take no for an answer." I gave him a look but I didn't press him any further. 'I guess I'm finally learning when to mind my own business. Maybe I'll bug him about it later on. Since I'll be living with him for a while.' Sighing, I nodded. "I won't argue. I agree. I don't want my father getting mixed up in everything that's been going on. He could get hurt and that's the last thing I want." Natsu grumbled something but I didn't catch it. I pretened to though. "I love my father Natsu. No matter what he's done." I could very literally feel him pouting. "Fiiiiine..."

"Can I come back in now?" Levy's small voice sounded from behind the door. Natsu pushed himself off the desk and pulled it open. "Yeah we're good." Levy hummed in amusement. "I'm surprised the school didn't implode. You two being in the same room for so long is rare." Natsu's air of annoyance towards me return which instantly brought about my own. Levy came to stand by me and I leaned my head against her arm. "I wanna go home. I need to talk to everyone in my home." I could feel Natsu's disaproval radiating off of him. "I won't stay but I need to go. I have family there that I can't just leave behind." He didn't say anything but I knew that he knew ,arguing wouldn't do any good.

The three of us sat in silence until I stood. "Okay. Let's go now so I can tell my family that I won't be staying at home for awhile." In reality I was heading home so I could pack a bag and give my friends a month off. "Levy and I will go to my place so I can get my stuff. Natsu you can start setting up for my stay since you insist I stay with you." Levy linked her arm through mine and led me out the door. "So what are we going to pack you?" There was something buried in her voice. "What are you getting at Lev...?" She giggled quietly. "Nuuuthin'." I looked out of the corner of my eye. "Tell me. I know there is something so just tell me up front."

It took five minutes to get it out of her. "Weeeeelllll... You are going over to Natsu's house." I gave her a blank look. "Huh?" I couldn't see it but I knew she dropped her jaw. "What do you mean huh? The sexual tension between you guys is unimaginable! Common you can't be completely oblivious!"

This time I dropped my jaw. "Are you kidding me?! It's not sexual tension! Tension sure, but there's nothing... sexual about it." I could feel my temperature sky rocketing. My cheeks were flaming and I couldn't look Levy in the eyes. "I knew it! I knew it I knew it I knew it! You totally have the hots f-." I clapped my hand over her mouth. "SHUSH! He's still in the building baka!"

We both managed to be quiet until we got out of the school. As soon as we were out the front doors, she started squealing to high heaven. "Lucy! Admit it! Please just admit you like him!" I groaned allowed and tugged her by the arm, pulling her in the direction of my home. "I will not admit that which isn't true Levy! Now stop begging me to do so." She huffed loudly and allowed me to drag her to my home where I found Aquarius and Loke waiting for me at the gate. Both had annoyed but endearingly worried expressions.

"Loke! Aquarius!" I waved them down with Levy in tow. "Whatchya doin' out here?" Both of them turned, shushed me, and gestured for me to leave. I ducked down, on instinct, and made my way over to them. "What's going on?" I kept my voice as low as possible despite my doubts that anyone could hear us.

"You're father's home. None of us want to see you go through that anymore so we agreed that as long as he's awake, you're not getting anywhere near the house. When he finally leaves, we're keeping him out. None of us work for him. We work for you." Aquarius gave me a look of determination, appreciation and above all, love. Loke's expression mirrored her's. Tears welled in my eyes and I hugged them both. "You guys are my friends. Not my servants." I pulled away from the tight and emotional embrace and steeled myself against what I would have to face. On my own. "I need to go inside. I know you guys are trying to protect me and it means the world, but I have to fight my own battles. I can't be a scared little girl anymore." Both of their eyes were filled with conflicted emotions, knowing I had to do this yet worrying about me anyways.

"Levy. I will go inside on my own. I shouldn't be long but if I'm more than fifteen minutes, it might be a good idea to see what the hell is going on. Cool?" She nodded, not entirely sure what was going on but still understood what I needed her to do. I gave each of them another quick hug before I basically kicked down the gates.

On the other side of said gates, was everyone else waiting to stop me. I made eye contact with each and everyone of them, trying to make them understand without me having to say anything. I assumed it worked because not long after they all backed down and made a clear path that led to my front door.

Once I was inside, I bolted upstairs and into my room to pack my bag for the time I would be spending at Natsu's. I grabbed my salmon coloured backpack, the one I hadn't used since like the first day, from my closet and threw it on my bed. I zipped it open and searched through it to see what was left. I had some school stuff but that was it. I emptied my bag of everything then stepped over to my dresser, which I didn't need to actually see, where I pulled out shirts, pants, shorts, and whatever else I needed. I stuffed what I gathered into my bag then zipped it closed and dodged out of my room to the bathroom. I collected my necessities from there as well and shoved them into my bag.

By the time I'd gotten downstairs, I was surprised I had yet to encounter my father. I peeked into the kitchen and found no one there either. Because it was empty, I took a minute to grab a few things from kitchen as well. I didn't take any food because I assumed Natsu and Wendy had food considering the amount Natsu could eat in one sitting.

Once I had everything I needed I headed into the living room. My father sat quietly on the couch, staring out the window with a dull, blank expression. I took a few steps towards him. "Father? Are you alright?" He refused to look at me but he did answer me. "Yes Lucy, I'm perfectly fine." His voice held no type of emotion at all what so ever. He looked so incredibly depressed as he stared into the empty yard outside, his eyes locked on nothing. I couldn't think of anything to say so rather than speak, I hung my head and allowed my silence to speak for itself.

"Lucy. I wanted to tell you something about your mother that you never knew." My head jerked up, eyes wide with shock and filled with interest. I waited impatiently for him to continue what he was saying about my mother. 'What would I have never known? What could be so important that he's sobered up and is speaking to me? What the hell is going on?'

"When she was younger, your mother came to the city where I lived. You already know the story of how we met but you don't know the story she told me just before you were born." He exhaled a heavy sigh that fogged up the window. "About two days you were born, your mother told me about where she'd come from. She told me about this place, Magnolia." I froze. 'My mother came from here? Why wasn't I told this? Wait, why does it matter?'

"She also told me about her history. How her family was from a unique lineage that was part of a specific group that had been protecting the city for generations. How you were going to have to follow in her footsteps when you were finally old enough. Your mother didn't want that for you though. She wanted to keep you from this place but she knew that you would end up here at some time or another. She had me promise before she died that I would bring you here when you turned 17. I brought you a little early but this is where I wanted to do this."

I furrowed my brow in confusion when my father said his last piece. "What do you mean? What do you want to do here?" So many possible situations flashed through my mind at ridiculous speeds. Some of which consisted of him denouncing me. Some had him telling me he wasn't my real father and that my mother had originally gotten pregnant with me with another person. There were even a few where he killed me. I took a step back defensively for fear that the images would actually come to pass.

My father clenched his jaw tightly and I heard a strange clicking sound coming from where he was sitting. "I'm sorry Lucy. I'm sorry for everything I put you through and I'm sorry that I couldn't be a better father. I've left everything to you and the account numbers are hidden in the wall vault in the basement. You know the passcode and where it is." He gave me the most guilty look I have ever seen on a face. "I'm sorry Lucy."

My breath hitched in my throat as he stood. "D-Dad, what do you mean? What's going on? Are you okay? What's wrong?" My voice couldn't reach his ears anymore. As he turn I saw the gun. It was more of a blurry 'L' with my vision but it was clear enough for me to see what it was as he pressed it to his temple. "Good bye my little lucky Lucy." Then he pulled the trigger

The shot was deafening. Not only could I not see properly but now my ears were ringing. I watched my father's figure slump onto the ground, as if his bones were made of jello. It was the most inhuman thing I'd ever witnessed in my life. Blood had spattered on my face and clothing. I dropped to my knees. My legs were unable to support me. I reached out to my father's body, where it lay still, blood flowing from the bullethole.

"Dad... Daddy... DADDY! DADDY! DADDY! NO DADDY! NO NO NO NO NO NO! NO DADDY NO!" I didn't realize that it was me screaming. All I could hear was the ringing in my ears. All I could see was the ever blurred figure of my father laying dead in front of me. "NOOOOOOO NO NO NO NO NOOOOO! NOT AGAIN NO!" I gripped the back of his coat with my bloodied hands. 'I've killed my only other parent. I'm a murderer.'

So... What didjya think of that little cliffhanger? I hopefully will be updating again in not too long. I've finally gotten a lot of personal things worked out so it should be fine.

Lucy: You're really mean to me as a main character you know.

Fairy: I do know actually... Whoops?-shrugs-

Happy: Let's just sign off here tonight. Natsu's already sleeping.

Natsu: -snores-

Fairy: Well guys! I hope you're enjoying this story. It means the world to me to hear from you guys. I'm sorry if I don't reply back right away I've had a hell of a year but honestly. The only reason I write this story is because you guys inspire me. When ever I get stuck, I just look at the positive and kind reviews and smile. Thank you so much
