Zeref P.O.V

I need to warn Makarov, not only am I an advantage for the Ultimanious Force's plans, but I have an awful feeling that Lucy could be too. I need to hurry. However, taunting my every move, a dark voice appeared during my train of thoughts and cackled loudly.

"I see that's gotten you riled up, Zeref. I don't see how it is a bad thing: having more allies is better for our existence, don't you agree?" He churlishly added. Not him again. I could feel my heart defeat to his words and my head began being clustered with more and more voices, persuading me into the monster they want me to become.

"Get out of my head!" I screamed as I clenched my temples and pressed hard, trying to numb the overpowering sensation of evil.

"Impossible, we ARE you, if we go so do you, stupid boy." It hissed and with one last blow it overtook my body. All I could do now was witness what dreadful atrocities it will commit posing as myself, with no way of stopping it until it tires from energy. Please, I beg, may no one come to harm this time.

"Hey, are you alright? I heard screaming," The overweight janitor, Droy, waddled up from behind me. My body turned around to face him, who used to have a concerned face sprinkled in cake crumbs, but now was planted with a sour glare. "Oh, it's you," He turned away to the back door of the kitchen, with me unintentionally following him in.

"Stop, you obese knave!" I could hear my own voice shout at the now-terrified man, but it was clouded in a harsh, demonic overtone. Droy turned around and tried to cover something behind him on the stainless steel counter. I expected fright however he displayed an angry face.

"What, are you going to kill me like you did with all those people?" He shouted at me, which made me choke with sadness and terrible nostalgia of strangled screams, but all it made me reply to that was a cruel cackle.

"Perhaps, if my magic can even penetrate through those immense layers of fat you call a body," My legs unwillingly stepped towards him and despite my resistant shouts, I still moved my body forwards and gathered a sphere of shadow around my fists.

"Kill me, I don't care. Ever since you took away my only friend, I just don't care about my existence anymore," His voice broke as his eyes flooded with tears and my arms rose to strike his still body, but I lowered them and smirked.

"No, I don't think this kind of quick death is pleasurable enough. I will suck the life out of you slowly and witness you suffocate in the shadow," I began to release Deathmist from my body. No! Stop it at once. Please don't make me harm him, please! I tried banging out of the constrictive bubble I was imprisoned in inside my own body, however it was no use. No matter how hard I persevered to escape, it still trapped me.

Suddenly, a large hand grasped around my whole body and pulled me backwards and away from Droy, who was thankfully safe and unharmed. I heard Master Makarov scream in pain from the life-absorbing shadow which attacked his arm but he just tightened his grip.

"Master Makarov, no!" Finally, I spoke words which I was not forced to say, but the cloud lingered as I hadn't recollected the whole control of my body.

"Zeref, control it now. Do as I say!" He demanded. Whilst my Deathmist seemed to not of affected him yet, he displayed an agonised, frustrated face and stared at me.

"I can't, I can't! You have to let me go Master. I don't want to hurt you as well!" I cried and began weakly hitting his wrist, but something made me sharply turn my head and I began choking to avoid him overtaking my voice.

"All apologies for breaking up this heart-wrenching moment," He growled, "but I have some destruction to do."

Yet, Master had done something I'd never expect him to do. He threw me against the wall, where I landed on my back and my head snapped backwards from the pressure and hit the hard surface. My vision became blurry and I fell to the floor, unable to differentiate up or down, left to right; everything seemed to be abnormally shaped and coloured.

For a split second I felt refreshed. I felt reincarnated with no troublesome weight on his shoulders or a murderous stamp on his forehead, and it felt absolutely ethereal. I saw a beautiful woman in front of me, standing proudly next to a kind-hearted, forgiving man, who had a familiar boy lying on his shoulders, and they all looked at me invitingly. A tear strolled down my cheek as I remember this halcyon. My family and I, when everything was enjoyable and all my demons were unknown to me.

"Zeref, hunny, do you know what today is?" I finally heard my mother's angelic, soothing voice and closed my eyes to absorb a sound I've been yearning to hear again, just one more time.

"It's my birthday!" A squeaky voice replied with excitement.

"Exactly, champ, and we're going to order your most favourite meal, you remember what that is, don't you?" My kind, gentle-hearted father cooed to the boy who began impatiently waiting on his shoulders.

"Pepperoni pizza with extra, extra pepperoni and bacon! Oh, oh and chocolate ice cream with sprinkles!" I tipped my head and lifted one side of my mouth, admiring my adorable overexcited attitude towards food, but my lips began wobbling. This was the night.

"But first, you have to go to a meeting with all those stuffy parents and teachers, be a strong little man, alright?" My dad tousled my hair and took me off my shoulders.

"Are you sure we should bring him with us?" My fair and smart mother whispered to my dad, to which he nodded; if only he hadn't.

Time skipped forward and the whole room was sitting on chairs in a circle, with all glaring eyes directed on me.

"He's a demon who should be locked up away from people, especially away from a school of children!" A father of a child from another school I hadn't met shouted at my dad, who tried to keep a stern face. I was confused, I didn't know what everyone was talking about, I certainly didn't do anything wrong!

"That is a horrible word to describe my son, Skiadrum!" My father growled behind his teeth.

"It may be horrible, but it's accurate,"

"That's it, I'm tired of everyone accusing Zeref of evilness, he hasn't done anything wrong! Look at him, don't you see an innocent boy the same age as everyone else's sons and daughters, how is he any different from them?" My father stood up and yelled, something I had never seen him do before. This caused uproar in the room, as everyone was arguing with each other, mostly aiming insults at my dad.

I began crying and cradling myself into a tight ball on the chair, trying to make everything stop and go away, but then my father recklessly punched Skiadrum, who then made all the rest of the fathers attack my dad.

"Stop it!" I shrieked and unexpectedly released my first Deathmist, which would've ended up killing everyone in the room if a beautiful, blonde woman, who looked a lot like Lucy, didn't activate a shield, protecting everyone in the room from it. Everyone, except my own parents, who limply fell to the floor after contact with my mist and all life was sucked out of them within a split second.

"NOOO!" I screamed at the scene, which stopped as soon as realisation of killing my parents hit my younger self, and then it began fading away. I reached out for it, however it dissolved in-between my fingers like ash in the wind. "I'm sorry, please come back to me!" I repeatedly wailed and cradled myself on the floor, hopelessly crying. Makarov walked up to me, looked down and sighed.

"I saw the flashback, Zeref, and no doubt do I feel sorrow for your loss, but you cannot do this," he waved his arm to Droy, who laid in the corner dumbfounded, "You must learn to control this magic but know that I will always be there to help you." He offered his now normal-sized hand and I accepted with a melancholic smile.

"Master, there is something I need to tell you." I sniffed.

"I'm afraid I have some news too, it's about what happened on Saturday."
