It was a sunny day out. My family and I was walking through the park, just enjoying nature and such. We were there for a few hours and we went to the guild for something to eat. After getting our food we sat with our friends and talked about our old adventures when suddenly the doors bust open to reveal a beautiful woman with several serious looking men standing behind her. She had on an elegant black and white dress that when to her feet. She had on sunglasses and a black sun hat. I couldn't see but I knew she was scanning the room, looking for someone. Everyone in the guild was looked confused as to why a sophisticated looking woman was in a rowdy, dirty guild. She seemed to have found what she was looking for, which was me, because she started to walk towards my table. 'Oh great, now I'm fucking screwed.' I thought as she got closer.

"Why hello Natsu, it's been a while hasn't it?" She said with a fake smile.

"Yes it has, what are you doing here?" I asked her.

"Oh you know how it is, knew I had to do some business here and I thought I would stop by and see you."

"That's nice of you." I said with my jaw clenched. I have a feeling I know what the business is about.

"Of course what surprises me is that you went and got yourself a wife and a few kids. When I met you, you said that you wouldn't have ever been caught dead with a family.

"What are you doing here Ms. Dragonheart? I don't do business with you anymore, so if you didn't need anything then leave." I said with a growl. I knew that everybody was looking at me curiously and suspiciously but I didn't look at them. She looked at me for a while and then stood up and walked out of the door. After a few minutes of silence everybody went back to their normal selves. Later that evening we were still in the guild hall, eating, drinking, just goofing around but suddenly there was a large explosion from the doors, several people were injured, and many were dead. I quickly got up from my seat and ran to the front to see the Mistress with all of her assassins standing there with their weapons drawn. She gave them a signal which I guess it meant to attack because they sure hit the guild hard; they were killing members left and right without any remorse. Let me tell you something to watch your friends die that way is awful. After all the mayhem was over there was only me, Lucy and the twins left alive. I was taking on three of the bastard that was trying to take the twins. Another guy came up from behind and bashed me across the head which made me lose conscious for a while. When I came too I was in an abandon building with my hands tied behind my back. I look around to see Lucy to my right being raped by two of the Mistress's lackeys. I thought seeing all my friends dying were horrible, seeing the love of your life being defiled like that is soul crushing. I tried to burn the restraints only to realize that they were restricting my magic, so I had to sit there and listen to her screams and begging till they finished. They left the room and the damn bitch that started this all walked in.

"Hello again Natsu, did you have a nice nap?"

"What the fuck is this about Loretta?" I said with all of my hatred.

"Well you should have listened to what I had to say. If you had maybe all of your friends would be here, that lovely girl over there wouldn't have had to have gone through what she did, and maybe those adorable children of your would have had a mother and father to come home to."

"You and I both know that isn't true. You would have killed them either way, so don't give me that bullshit line." I yelled. She gave an annoyed look and smacked me across the face. She turned to the wall to my left and nodded to whoever was on the other side. A few seconds later a few of her men came in and dragged me and Lucy to an open area outside of the building. They made us kneel in front of a shallow pit that was going to be our grave. I then heard Loretta starting to say the Code of a Deadman. The code is about the life of the assassin and how he betrayed the Brotherhood. The final part is kind of like a mock trail only you're already proven guilty so they decide what your punishment should be; usually death is the outcome. After she finished speaking, one of the men came up and stood behind Lucy. He pulled out a pistol and held it to her head. She turned her head to me and said.

"I love you." Then the man pulled the trigger, her body jerked forward which made her go down into the hole. Then he turned the gun on to me.

"Do you have and last words Natsu?" Loretta asked. I remained silent already accepted my fate. The man pulled the trigger.

"Natsu…NATSU!" a voice said to my right. I opened my eyes to find that I was on the floor of the train and the rest of the team was surrounding me with concerned looks on their faces. I also noticed that the train had reached its destination. I slowly sat up and saw that the floor had scorn marks on it and that the seats looked a little melted.

"What happen?" I asked confused.

"Apparently you were having a nightmare. You were thrashing around and at one point your magic flared as you can see from the floor and the seats, and you were crying in your sleep. What was in the dream that made you lose control like that?" Erza asked worriedly.

"I…I don't remember." I lied and I think she knew that too judging by that look on her face, but she didn't question it.

"Well since you seem fine let's get out of here and meet with our client." She said as she went to get her bags. Once we got off the train we went through the city till we stood in front of a gate that led to a humongous mansion. The guards asked us why we were there, and we told them why. One of them led us to the main office in the building and we met the target's father. He described what the mission was about and told us to start when his son woke for the day.

"Are there any questions?" The man asked.

"Yeah where is the bathroom?" I asked.

"Um…it's down the hall, second door to your right." He said.

"Thank you." I said as I headed out to the room. I went down the hall and across from the bathroom was a balcony that had a brilliant view of the garden. I stared at it for a while then when to the restroom. As I came out I went straight to the door of the balcony and opened them. I went out on to it and looked around.

"Alright you can come out now." I said as a figure came into my line of vision.

"How did you know that I was there?" She said.

"Well when I got off of the train I saw you walking through the crowd and then when I was standing across from the balcony I saw your binocular lens shine from the sunlight. Plus you know how good my senses are."

"Should have known, you were on of the best in the business."

"Yes, yes I was but that's in the past. Anyway where is my hug, we have been standing here for two minutes and haven't gotten a hug yet." I said with a pout. She chuckled and hugged me tightly.

"It's good to see you again Baby V." I said hugging her just as tight.

"What did I tell you about calling me that?" She said with a mock scolding voice.

"I can't help it you were the baby in the group and you always will be in my eyes, Violet."

"Whatever, anyway the reason I'm here is to tell you that to watch your back. This client of yours has been in some shady business and some people want him dead, and as you know his biggest weakness is his son, so they going to try and kill him. I'm sure you know who they are." She said. I nodded.

"Dragonheart."

"Yep."

"Great just all I needed for this mission."

"Yeah there is another thing too."

"What is it?"

"She is looking for you."

"Why?"

"I don't know but as of the last few months she has had her spies everywhere looking for you. It'll only be a matter of time till she finds out about your wife and children."

"Shit, one more thing to keep me up at night."

"I didn't want to put stress on you but I figure you would like to keep your family and friends alive."

"Yeah, I appreciate all the information that you've given me, but won't be silenced if they find out?" I asked in concern.

"After your disappearance me and a few others decided to retire from the dark life. I'm glad I did otherwise I wouldn't have been able to have gotten together with Dusten." She said with a smile.

"So you and him finally got together, I'm glad it was better than that one asshole that kept hitting on you when you were younger."

"Yeah and we are expecting our first child."

"That's great news, I'm happy for you two. However I don't like how you are still climbing high places. You need to not do that then you've got a bun in the oven."

"Yeah don't worry dad I hear that enough from Dusten. I'm careful enough."

"Well you better, anyway I need to get back to my team and you need to get back to your sweetheart." I said giving her another hug. She nodded and accepted my hug, she then went over the edge and disappeared into the hedge. I turned around to find Gray standing there with an accusing look on his face.

'Oh great.' I thought as I started for the doors.

"Who the hell was that?' He asked with anger.

"An old friend, and that's all you need to know."

"Oh yeah well how would Lucy feel is she knew you were meeting old friends that nobody knows about."

"I know that it looks bad but there's nothing going on. I wouldn't cheat on my wife."

"Unhn sure."

"What's that's supposed to mean?" I said as my anger was rising.

"Only that you and that girl seem to be awful close to been just friends."

"Have you never hugged a girl that was just a friend?"

"Yeah but not that tightly."

"I told you that there is nothing going on, so I don't need to keep defending myself, now if you would excuse me I will getting back to the mission." I said pushing past him and went into the room.
