"she's beautiful."

"she's everything and more than anything i could have imagined." 

it's warm. i can feel their warmth. even in this darkness and sea of unknown, their arms wrap tight around my body as they shield me against the harsh world that was awaiting me. 

"amaya lumiere ― the end of the light."

"a monster." 

"a murderer." 

"don't let her escape, kill her now before she does anymore harm."

"kill her!"

"kill her now!"

she gasped for air, shooting up in her bed as a cold sweat drenched her body. her wide eyes looked around, realising that she was just dreaming. although, it had once been her reality. maya released a deep breath, glancing down at her hands as she clenched and unclenched them, feeling her skin tighten and loosen as she did so. "i'm alive." she whispered, as if reminding herself of that fact. 

"hm? did you say something?" a head placed itself gently against the bare skin of her shoulder as a large hand encased itself over both hers. the warmth of the body next to her felt comforting as she melted into his touch until realisation washed over her.

"what the heck are you doing in my bed!?" she exclaimed, pushing the dragon slayer away as she lifted the covers over her body. "and where are my clothes!?" she screamed, accidentally kicking him in her attempt to scramble away, sending the boy flying off the bed. 

"what? don't tell me you don't remember?" natsu whined, lifting himself back up as he rubbed his head where the girl's foot had connected. 

"remember!?" maya suddenly froze, as if that word had triggered her memory and last night's events from the grand ball all came rushing back to her. 

"there you two are!" lucy approached the green haired mage and her best friend as the two re-entered the ballroom after fixing maya's makeup. "seriously, how could you leave me alone with them?" she whined, pointing behind her where the guilds had decided to come together and having a drinking competition.
