Lucy stood up, her hair in a braid down her back. The dress fell down to her knees. Eve lay curled up on the couch. Lucy brushed Eve's hair gently off her face. She turned to her bag, all packed up, looked down at the dress. It was hers, but it wasn't one she loved to wear. Lucy picked up her bag, put on her shoes, and left. He shoulder still ached slightly even though it had been nearly a week. She stepped out into the street and smelled the fresh air. She turned left, and she walked. No real destination in mind, she just walked. Sven had been right. She did decide Train was a good guy. He had apologized almost every day for Steven. She didn't like leaving them, but she had her own stuff to do. She walked down the road, her hair rippling slightly in the wind. The sun shone bright. She looked over at the park of the city to see kids playing in it. She smiled thoughtfully.
"I thought I would find you hanging around the park. Why so sudden to leave?"
"Train! What are you doing here?! I have my own business to take care of."
"But why did you have to leave so soon? I enjoyed having you around, and so did Lil' Princess." Eve stepped out around the fountain Train was sitting on.
"Lucy, why did you leave?"
"I'm sorry you guys, I want to stay, but I can't."
"You're not gonna go join Creed are you?" Train said, his eyes showing concern.
"Train, I've only known you for a week, and already it feels like you're my brother, and as my brother, you should know, it's my decision to go, not yours."
"I know it's not. But I thought I should warn you. I am never joining Creed, and if you join, I may just have to kill you someday."
"I hadn't planned on joining him. I need to end it. He cannot be allowed to remain alive. The night before Saya's murder, I had a dream…" Lucy stopped to keep herself from crying.
"You can see into the future? Interesting. And Creed's done some bad things?" Lucy simply nodded. She sank to her knees.
"I'm so stupid! How did I not realize it sooner?" Lucy cried to the open sky causing Train and Eve to jump.
"You're not stupid!" Train tried to soothe.
"The Dream! It was dark. The hair, the hair was to light to be Saya's! I was supposed to die!" Lucy's eyes leaked the tears as she cried the words to the sky.
"Don't talk like that! If you had died, then I wouldn't know you!" And then Train hugged her. He pulled her into a tight hug. And he whispered in her ear: "If you had died, Saya wouldn't be happy. Her dying words to me were: 'Train, take care of Lucy.', so you see, she wanted you to live!"
"She wanted me to live. I talk in my sleep. She must have heard, and changed the Fates…." Lucy was seemingly talking nonsense. She stood up as Train pulled her up. She stumbled into him, but quickly pushed away. Eve was busy observing a couple of birds. Train was staring at her. He finally came back to his senses, shook his head, and took a step away from Lucy. She turned away from him and wiped her eyes. What was she thinking!? She and Train! No way! Train and Eve started to walk away while Lucy was scolding herself. She quickly caught up. "So, what's for breakfast!?"
"She's just like you Train…."
"EH!? Like me!? NO WAY!"
"Like this dummy!? NO WAY!" Train and Lucy said at the same time. They both blushed. Eve walked in between them, but the whole time, she had the urge to move away. They seemed to attract each other like magnets.
