The flames reached the clear blue sky. Lucy stood watching, tears rolling down her white cheeks. Her golden hair was pulled back in a braid, and she stood on the hill alone, watching the building where her friends had gone, and not returned. The bushes rustled behind her as Sephiria Arks, Number I of the Chrono's Numbers, stepped out behind her. The Gold Cat, queen of the sweepers, prepared herself for battle. One man followed, pulling a gun out. One shot rang out through the silence. The Gold Cat fell backwards off the hill into the river. Her body splashed into the water, and Sephiria Arks looked down in the river, watching the girl's body drift downstream. The man, his face hidden, stepped up beside her and pulled his hood back. The Black Cat. The Black Cat was once again, a killer. Sephiria and Train turned and walked away.

She jerked awake and up into a sitting position, putting her face in her hands. Sven was sitting in a chair next to her, watching her.

"What?"

"You were mumbling. What did you see?"

"Never you mind. It has nothing to do with-" But it honestly did. Sven sensed this, and he didn't push the topic any farther, except for one more question.

"It has Train, doesn't it?" Lucy nodded. Her throat wasn't working properly and she leaned back into the couch. "Oh, hey, sorry you don't have a proper bed."

"It's OK. Eve doesn't either, and besides, as Eve said, I'm a stray cat, I sleep where I can." Lucy smiled slightly. "I need more sleep. I'll see you in the morning Sven. You sleep to." And with that, she curled back up under the blanket and drifted off into slumber. This time, Lucy's dreams were filled with the galloping freedom of horses. She woke early, and being as quiet as possible, she dressed and snuck out. She was going to find a horse to ride.

"You thought you were just gonna leave me?" Train said catching up to her.

"What are you doing up at this hour?"

"I was up, and I saw you leave. Why are you bringing your gun to go horse-back riding?"

"You never know what you encounter." She stopped and turned to him. "Train, by doing this you're almost confirming Eve's suspicions that we are a couple. Are you OK with that? I mean, after Saya….."

"You're Saya's sister, and besides, I don't think she'll mind. Her soul is probably smiling down on us right now." Lucy nodded and turned to continue forward again, but Train grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a kiss. Lucy pulled away after a minute, and instead of slapping him like Train expected, she simply turned and continued forward. Soon, they found two horses for rent, and they rented them out for the day. They tacked the horses and rode to a trail out of town. It wasn't long before Lucy was loping. Train however, didn't really know how to ride, therefore didn't lope. Lucy trotted back after running her horse for a while, and they switched horses. He watched her run, and his horse went into a trot. Soon, Train Heartnet and Lucy Minatsuki were loping along the trail together. Creed was infuriated by this. He was certain now; the girl had carried on her sister's spell.
