She thought she was going crazy, but she thought she could smell something from her childhood. The one thing that always made her happy. Yet at the same time she felt it would harm her.

Her father.

Although it could just be a different florist She thought not letting her guard down But why do I feel on edge? Like something's going to jump out from behind me and-

She was thrust out of her thoughts by Gajeel and Lily's snickering. Long story short, Levy is in the middle of a pile of ripped up paper and the book she was reading has spontaneously disappeared.

She took in her surroundings for the first time in a while, the ripped paper bits, the two grinning idiots who were about to go through hell, and her father at the front of the guild hall. Although no one seemed to know who he was or notice him – even though he hasn't changed since the last time she saw him – she could never forget.

"Dad!" She shouted running towards him with tears filling her eyes. But just as she was about to reach him, the floor turned into a bottomless pit. She found herself falling (and screaming) and her father stood in the exact same place, his face expressionless, his eyes glazed over with a dark figure standing and grinning next to him with his arm extended in front of the man's neck and in an instant his arm was covered with razor sharp wind (Kind of like Erigor's wind barrier but on a smaller scale).

No! Stop! Don't do it! She tried shouting but had lost her voice and watched as her father was beheaded by the dark figure. And she had stopped falling a few feet below where the floor once stood (everything else had disappeared at this point except the entrance to the guild hall)

"I'm coming for you and your magic" The figure said smiling mischievously

DAD! She tried to scream again but was met with silence and the mysterious figure's evil laugh

She couldn't move, she couldn't use her magic, and she couldn't scream for help. The only thing she could do was watch and cry as the figure's black gloved hands reached out to grab her.

"NOOOOOOO!" She screamed falling off the bed. When she realized where she was, she calmed down and relaxed.

"Why am I in here?" She wondered aloud

"'Cause ya passed out as soon as you saw me and Lily's prank, Shrimp" Said a familiarly gruff voice "We didn't know you'd get nightmares"

Levy looked around trying to find the source of the voice when she heard another one

"We deeply apologize, Levy." Levy looked on the other side of the bed where Gajeel and Lily were previously sitting and waiting for her to awaken "Here" Levy stood and Lily handed Levy the book that she thought had been destroyed.

The two boys thought she was still angry with the way she was glaring at them but she was just very deep in thought.

"I wouldn't pass out from seeing a book destroyed, I'd make whoever destroyed it suffer; go through their own version of hell, but I wouldn't pass out" She said puzzling the two males "Did I happen to say anything while I was unconscious?"

"Yes, you said quite a few things actually" Lily answered flying towards her and landing on the bed "You kept shouting No! and Dad! Plus you kept screaming and crying"

Is my dad alive? Did someone contact me while I was asleep? And did they cause me to pass out? Or was it just a coincidence? She thought as she looked at Gajeel and Lily And how am I going to get them back for this?

"What happened in it"

"Huh" Levy said snapping out of her thoughts

"I said, what happened in it" Gajeel repeated suddenly in front of her looking as intimidating as ever. (Except to Levy and Lily of course)

"Gajeel, I know you want to know but I thought we agreed we'd ask for answers when-"

"I can't wait anymore!" He said with a (cute) angry face

As the dragon slayer and his fluffy partner bickered they didn't seem to notice the absence of the topic they were arguing about. Said topic had jumped out of the window and landed on a pillow made of the word 'pillow'. She ran with a small fleeting hope in her heart, a hope that her father may have survived, a hope that instantly got shredded as she came to the same burnt building she had once worked at.

"I knew this was a mistake" She mumbled as her tears fell to the ground and she sat hugging her knees to her chest "I really am an idiot sometimes" she said with a sad smile

Inside the infirmary, the two male mages were still arguing

"Besides I ain't exactly the patient type. You of all people should know that!" He said with an irritated (cute) face

"She's gone"

"Huh? What're you talking about she's right he-" Gajeel looked at the empty space where Levy once stood and gaped "How'd she leave without us noticing?"

They both felt a breeze and face palmed (or face pawed in Lily's case) The window. Of course she'd do that They both thought

Lily flew out of it to see if he could find her and Gajeel stuck his head out. He looked at the ground and saw a white word.

He jumped out of the window hoping to fall on the word but as fate would have it, he was going to have a rough landing. (He went straight through it)

While following Levy's scent, Gajeel kept grumbling things about how grass is supposed to be soft.

A few minutes later Gajeel found his girlfriend sitting outside of a burned down building and he smelled salt.

"Shrimp?"

Levy didn't move at the sound of the familiar voice, she simply asked with a hoarse voice "What do you want?"

"I want to know what's wrong" He said as he sat down and pulled her into his lap

She looked away as the tears started to fall again "I….I can't"

"Shrimp-"

"Gajeel, I-I don't want to go through that again" She said looking into his eyes "Never again" She whispered looking down (Of course Gajeel heard her)

"Just…..go away, if I get close to another person they'll either leave me or die because of me" She said trying to stop her voice from cracking.

"Levy, I'm here for you no matter what. I'll never leave you. And I won't kick the bucket that easily," She realized he was serious at the lack of short jokes "so tell me what's wrong."

"I-I can't" She said between sobs as she clutched his shirt

"Please Levy, I love you and I hate to see you like this."

Lily quietly landed beside the two and spoke. "I won't leave you either. We are both here for you Levy. We are both willing to listen."

"Promise?"

"Cross my heart and hope to die" Gajeel replied

She wiped away a few tears and recalled her nightmare to them along with her suspicions about it and her past – excluding information about her mother.

When she finished Lily was silently crying and Gajeel held her tighter.

Pantherlily broke the silence "I had always assumed you had a wonderful childhood due to your positive attitude, I could've never imagined such horrors befell you – and at such a young age as well!"

Gajeel stayed silent but Levy and Lily could tell he was crying too.

"What about your mom?" He asked looking into her eyes

"What about her?" She replied

"What was she like?"

"She was….ummm" Levy started to blush "Bigger" She emphasized her point by holding her hands in front of her chest

"You know that's not what I meant"

"I got my height from her, and my magic."

"Levy, I meant what kind of person was she"

"The greatest kind, I didn't really know much about her since she died when I was five." Before he could say anything else she added "But I do know that she was an S-class wizard of Fairy Tail, Master even said she was one of the strongest wizards to ever be a part of the guild. But one day, she took on a job too big for her to handle." She flashed a sad smile while a single tear escaped from her eye "And even though the guild is my family I still feel kind of lonely on the holidays."

Pantherlily jumped into Levy's arms and hugged her tightly. Even though he's supposed to be the tough exceed he still cried, he cried for Levy and so did Gajeel. It wasn't as noticeable at first but he started to shake as he tried to hold back the tears but for some reason he never can, whenever it came to Levy anyway.

And so Gajeel and Lily shed their tears for Levy. But since Levy had never heard either of them cry before it sounded very unnatural to her ears but as she got used to it-

No, no one can get used to that strange sound.
