-Linebreak-

I knew the guild was different when I walked in. It was the way they smiled….it seemed- strange. Almost forced. Like they all knew something bad was happening.

Ω˜˚…˚˜Ω

It was a "normal" day at Fairy Tail. Mira was serving everyone and everyone was goofing off and I was just sitting at the bar. My team was talking to Lisanna with Elfman, I wasn't jealous or anything, I mean it's only been 1 day and they haven't ignored me. In fact, I was the one that shooed them off. They needed to talk to her!

Lately, I've been having strange dreams, headaches…and someone keeps talking in my head. It's not my voice, but it was a…man. I didn't recognize his voice…it felt very creepy.

I've been having dreams where he comes to me and takes my soul…

Where he takes everything of mine…

And leaves me with nothing to lose…

Then he leaves me there to die…

And my friends just stare at me as if there's no one there…

But that's not possible right? My friends would never leave me! I love them, and they love me.

My rants soon ended when I felt a powerful surge of Magic hit me. I think everyone froze. Everyone felt it. It wasn't just me. Time stopped moving. And my heart stopped beating. I felt like I was having a heart attack. During my desperate pleas, I saw that Lisanna was also having the strange pain. People were trying to help us, but nothing was helping.

Suddenly, the great amount of Magic power was coming towards us. Closer and closer. The sky started pouring rain.

Pit-ter.

Pat-ter.

Pit-ter.

'I'm coming for you…Lucy Heartfilia' a voice said in my head, it can't be! He can't come! I heard the footsteps approach the guild. Lightning trembled across the sky, and the rain got louder and louder.

'Your friends won't be able to help you. No one will.' The voice echoed. The doors burst open. There it revealed a man with a long black cape which had a hood. That hid his face. He was holding a scythe, but what was strange was that he had no feet. It's like he was floating. Suddenly, a mysterious force pushed me towards him. I saw Lisanna was also moving in closer to the man. We were moved to the center of the guild. Lisanna and I were both on our knees, while the black hooded man stood in front of us.

"Boys, girls" An eerie voice said "adolescents, men, women. Today, we have a choice to make. A big decision that will cost something valuable. An eye for an eye." He then turned to Lisanna and I.

"Here we have Lucy Heartfilia, celestial mage and your guilds angel." Pointing towards me.

"Here we have Lisanna Strauss, take-over mage, the third of the sibling. I heard you just got back." Pointing to Lisanna.

"This is where the fun part kicks in. Whose soul will you chose? Who do prefer better? Which angel will you choose? Who is your favorite person?" I shivered at the venom in his voice. Why is it Lisanna and I? I might have known her for a short period of time, but she is a really nice person

"Be careful who you choose. Because one person will survive and continue their peaceful life. The other person will stay in the pits of hell. She will have to work her way up to be a spirit. You will never see that person ever again. So be careful on who you choose. You have 10 minutes. Everyone for Lucy here, can go on the right side of the guild, everyone for Lisanna can stay on the left side of the guild." Lisanna and I looked at each other for one last time. We both saw the sadness in each of our eyes. 'Good luck' she mouthed. 'I hope it's you' I mouthed back. I saw her close her eyes. Probably praying. Or she didn't want to see the results. I closed my eyes as well. I didn't want to see a thing. It obvious she'll win.

In the distant I heard the shuffling of feet. And crying. I heard Juvia, Mira and Elfman. There were more, yet I couldn't distinguish who it was. I must accept my fate.

I must accept the fact that there's a 50/50 chance I will survive. My eyes started watering. I wanted to grow up peacefully.

I wanted to have children.

I wanted to be there when my children get married.

I want to meet my grandchildren.

I want to improve my magic.

I want to meet the one.

I want to experience love.

But it's too bad. I will probably never be able to do these things. Is what the man said true? Will my friends not be able to save me?

Will they choose me?

Was I a replacement?

Was I a nuisance?

Do they actually love me?

Will they try and find me?

Or will I give up hope?

"The results are in." The creepy man said. I could hear the distaste and the smile at the end of the sentence. He is planning something. I know it.

"Open your eyes, ladies." He said once more.
