Third Person POV

Natsu, Happy, Otto, and Kiora walked back to the train. Natsu groaned at the thought of riding the train back.

"Do we have to take the train?" Natsu whined.

"We could walk?" Kiora suggested. Natsu's eye lit up, "Yeah!" Happy and Otto looked at each other and shook their head.

"The train is much faster." Happy said.

Natsu shrugged. "So?" Happy and Natsu argued for the next five minutes and the train whistle went off, signaling it was about to leave. Kiora widened her eyes and grabbed the back of Natsu's shirt and pulled him onto the train. Natsu sat beside one window, Kiora across from him, Otto was sitting next to Kiora, and Happy was perched on Natsu's shoulders. Trying not to get sick, Kiora went to sleep again. As before, she looked very peaceful. Her shoulders slumped, her face at ease, just so peaceful. The evening sun shone down through the big window on the train and onto the group. Besides Natsu's motion sickness, the train ride went relatively well.

-Train Ride Yay!-

Kiora yawned and stretched her arms. She lazily got up and followed Otto and Happy out. She was carrying Natsu behind her with ease. She drops him on the ground with a thump as the train goes away. Natsu groans and climbs to his feet.

"Do we always have to take the train?" Natsu says.

"I did suggest walking but…." Kiora said, shrugging.

"It wouldn't have been so fast to walk..plus we might run into more thieves.." Happy mumbled, lowly so that Otto wouldn't here. He got the same feeling that Natsu did whenever he looked at the guy.

With the Trio back at the guild, Natsu immediately went over to the bar where Mirajane was tending to the table. A warm smile greeted the fire dragon slayer as he was served his cup o flame and a meat drum of meat.

Otto's POV

You weren't really all that sure as to why Kio would want to bring you here. You didn't see the point in joining a guild, when you knew that the master really wouldn't agree. Though you suppose he would be rather proud of you if you took out a guild of mages..The matter of going about doing so seemed to be the problem, you suppose that some of them had to be powerful. You have heard of the guild once or twice before, but it was just some lowly talk about how some pitiful fools were going to destroy it to take over. Turned out that some of those fools even joined afterwards, it was pathetic.

Looking around the guild you noticed that there were some well known mages lounging about the area.

Erza Scarlet, Mirajane Strauss, Laxus Dreyar, and Natsu Dragneel, christ even Gajeel was here. You weren't exactly sure as to how you would destroy the guild, but I suppose you will find a way. Should you even destroy the guild? You supposed that it would be rather foolish to just ahead and jump right into destroying it when you first set foot into the guild.

You needed to analyze the wizards in the guild before you can really do anything. So for the time being you decided that you were going to just relax, analyze everyone and how they would react to what you were planning on doing.

Though something nagged at the back of your mind...Well not a something more like a someone. The child grew stronger against your wards, always pushing back against you as if he could win. Honestly you weren't sure how much longer you could keep Otto warded out, though the more the days went on the more you seemed to notice that the pest always has one foot still in your mind.

Oh well...You suppose only Time will tell…

Kiora's POV

I walked into the guild hall with Happy, Natsu, and Otto. I was glad to see Otto but he didn't seem to be to thrilled about the guild. I just hope he doesn't do anything rash.

"Hey Lucy!" I heard Natsu shout as we entered through the doors. A girl, Lucy by the looks of it, grinned and waved hello. I shyly walked over with them, Natsu and Happy in front of me and Otto behind me. A girl with Scarlet red hair and a boy with….no shirt or pants on, weird, sat at the table with Lucy. I gently took seat at the table and looked at the others.

"What are you trying to say, flame brain!?" Boxer boy shouted at Natsu, causing them to butt heads before Natsu retorted with a punch to his face.

"I am trying to say that you need to put on some damn pants, droopy drawers!" The fire dragon slayer let out a puff of fire before jumping up and attacking the other.

A little ways down the table there was a slight sigh as Lucy rested her head on her hand, talking to Levy.

"I'm just not all that sure what to do, Levy-chan." With a slight pout, her blue haired friend reached out and put a sympathetic hand on her friend's shoulder.
"Lu-chan, you need to tell them. Otherwise you are probably going to be too late."

The blonde lifted a finely arched eyebrow, "Oh, so like you and Gajeel then?"

Red scaled it's way up to Levy's face, and she began to sputter over her words. They both seemed to find it amusing and laugh at the end. I looked around at them, one blood-chilling detail catching my eye. I clenched my fist and my muscles tensed.

"Lucy has a whip!? Does she..use it?" I thought.

A hand suddenly rested on my shoulder, "You'll be fine." Otto's voice rang by my ear, just before he sat down by me. "If she even thinks about pulling it out on you, I'll break her legs." He said casually.

A dark aura suddenly fell upon both of us and before we could turn around, Mirajane had her hands on either of our shoulders, "Just exactly who's legs are you breaking?" Her voice was warm but the threat was chilling.

Otto was the first to jump up to the plate, "No one in particular. So don't worry about it." His voice was equally as warm though it still held something more...sinister? It wasn't exactly cold at all like Mira's. I stood up, Mira's hand removing from my shoulders and my words stuttered, "I-ah-I'm going to go...upstairs!" I raised my voice for the first thing I could think of. The wizards near us gave a questioning look at me and I sheepishly lowered my head and my face felt hot with embarrassment. I ran up the stairs and quickly shoved myself into a room. I sat down and covered my face with my hands, dreadful memories flooding over me.

Slash. "Will you listen to me now girl!" I stayed quiet. Slash. Slash. "Have it your way." I bit back my tears. Slash.

Visions, sounds, fear, and pain rushed over me as I remembered them. A knock shocked me out of the trance as a salmon haired boy cracked open the door. His face showed puzzlement at my bent over, configured body. I looked up slightly, my eyes and tiny tear marks showing. I hadn't noticed I had been crying.

"Kio, what's the crying for?" he said confused. I stood up and I wiped my eyes.

"Nothing Natsu, it's not important. I have to go now though…." I said cautiously and opened up the window. I back to him then out the window and I jumped down. I looked up then back to my normal height. My eyes widened as I saw a figure right in front of me and he jabbed something sharp into my skin. I clenched my teeth and looked up just in time, my vision getting blurry, to see Natsu's surprised face looking down at me from the window. Then, it all went black.

Natsu's POV

My heart raced as I quickly scaled to the bottom of the building in pursuit of the mysterious black figure. The figure had done something to Kiora by the looks of it and picked her up and started running. I almost caught up when he took a sharp turn into a wide alleyway. I strained my eyes to see in the darkness. Kiora shifted and soon her eyes flew open. The figure took off it's suit to reveal a lean black haired boy with a black t-shirt and pants. He grinned and looked devilishly at Kiora. I readied an attack but he quickly took Kiora and put her in front of him, holding her hands together by the wrists behind her back.

Suddenly, a dim light flickered on to reveal more of the guy's face. Kiora glanced back at him then stopped dead, she whispered, "Cole…" and struggled. Cole smiled and talked in a calm manner.

"Kiora, how nice to see you! Freak. How is the magic going, oh wait, or did the Orphan Mother beat it all out of you!" He laughed. My mind raced with anger and confusion.

"Who are you an what are you doing with Kiora!?" I yelled. He chuckled. "I'm Cole an old-time….friend of Kiora's." I stepped forward but heard the yell of Kiora.

"Stop Natsu! He knows a paralyzing time of magic!"

Cole laughed. "How long did it take you to figure that out magic girl? The only difference between us is that I'm not a freak and I can control my power, powers in your case." He continued to laugh. I had enough of his game and started to walk forward when my legs suddenly collapsed. I looked down to see a green trail encase my legs and start to form up my body, eventually paralyzing me. I was stuck on the ground but I could see Kiora and Cole plainly.

"Didn't little Kiora here tell you to stay back?" Cole chuckled. "You let her go!" I yelled. Cole laughed again, this guy was really annoying me. "You're not the one who broke her out of the orphanage, so who are you?" He questioned. Kiora struggled then Cole took out a knife. His knife was tipped with the green paralyzation magic Cole possessed. "Now now, don't struggle or I will add another scar onto your pretty little body." he grinned. Scars? Orphanage? Kiora and Cole must have some type of past.

"Go to hell," Kiora spit out.

"Oh honey, can't you just tell me how it's like?" he smiled and put the knife to the bottom right of her collarbone and carved the knife deeply down to the top of her sternum. She let out squeals of pain but kicked wildly. My anger was only fueled by her pain. I struggled but couldn't break free of Cole's magic. I looked up as I heard a sound from Cole. He had dropped the knife after Kiora sharply stomped on his foot.

She wriggled out of his grasp, her hands free now, but he quickly picked up the knife and warily thrashed it, cutting her shirt. Kiora's shirt ripped off to reveal many scars, big and small, littered over her body. She turned her back to me and I gasped at the long, deep, rigid scar that went diagonally all the way across her back. Ignoring her shirt, she used deadly strength, pinpoint accuracy, and a flaming anger, she stood towards him then sharply punched him diagonally in the jaw, hard. He dropped the knife and it clattered on the floor.

Cole let out a loud yell as his jaw moved sideways. Filled with rage, Kiora kicked the back of Cole's legs, sending him to his knees. She grabbed his medium long black hair and hardly bashed his head into a large stone on the alleyway ground. She lifted his head back up, his head bleeding profusely, and whispered something in his ears. I could only slightly hear.

"Next time you mess with me, expect to leave with more than a dislocated jaw and a really bad head injury," she spit venomously then threw him the short distance to the ground and walked over to me. A dark veil enclosed me and I could suddenly stand up and move my muscles again.

"Thanks," I said. "You really kicked that guy's ass," I joked. I quieted when I saw Kiora looking expressionlessly at the ground. Her swirling eyes showing pain her body couldn't express.

Kiora's POV

I thought about all of what Cole had said. Not being able to control my powers, all of the scars, me already going to hell. It was true, and it hurt. I felt dizzy and soon, my vision was enclosed in a dreadful memory.

Flashback

I sat in my room, crying like always. I only cried alone. I tried to act tough around the other kids, it usually worked except for a group of kids. Cole, their leader and the biggest jerk, Zayne, the tattle tail, Kia, the snotty girl, and Jay, Cole's second in command. I heard a knock at my window and turned to see a small boy sitting their. His face looked sad and I could see it was raining outside. I cautiously walked to the window and opened it, the rain splattering on my already wet face.

"W-what do you want?" I stuttered.

"Are you ok? Why are you all alone?" The boy asked.

"I'm not ok, I want to get out, I want to run, I want to be alone!" I practically yelled. The other kids in the other rooms not caring for what I said as usual. I didn't know why I was opening up to this boy, but it felt comforting to talk to someone without getting picked on.

"Come on, lets go," the boy instructed. I looked up at him, shocked.

"You will run away with me?" I said. He nodded and smiled. "But I'm staying with you, it's not fun to be alone." My eyes lit up and I quickly grabbed my robe to cover myself and I went out the window, the rain continuingly showering on me, then I closed the window quietly and ran away into the shadows with the little boy. As we ran he asked, "What is your name?"

"I'm Kiora, what's yours?"

"I'm Otto," he smiled and we continued running.
