Magnolia, Fiore
Fiore Hunter College
10:48 A.M.

Fiore College: the university for students from Fiore High would went above and beyond. There were infinite amounts of classes to take, given you could only pick two majors and the rest was boring mandatory stuff. All the staff and teachers were perfectly equipped with the knowledge to teach them to the students' fullest potential. Of course, there is no exception for the headmaster of the college. He was a particularly young man with hair as dark was the night sky and equally dark eyes to match. The staff that personally knew him always said that he was a nice, hard working leader that just happened to have tragedy be struck upon.

Walking into his office, he pulls out his computer and begins to type. Today was the day that the four chosen would know the true reason behind the Citizen V case, the true reason behind those scars.

The four survivors of the attack:

Lucy Heartfilia
Age: twenty-one years old
Hair Color: Yellow/blonde
Eye Color: Brown
Major in Astrology
Minor in Fictional Writing

Gray Fullbuster
Age: twenty-two years old
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Dark Grey
Major in Sculpture
Minor in Chemistry

Levy McGarden
Age: twenty-one years old
Hair Color: Blue
Eye Color: Brown
Major in Fictional Writing
Minor in Language

Erza Scarlet
Age: twenty-two years old

Eye Color: Brown
Major in Counseling
Minor in Fencing

These four... They would know soon enough. And when they do, they'll have a choice:

Fight or die.

My pencil taps against the desk repeatedly. Who knew being in a class you love could be so boring? Then again, today was today.

Today marks the three year anniversary of what happened on that day. How the death of twenty senior high school students and a beloved school counselor happened.

I was a survivor. I managed to block out most of the memories of what happened but, I was told that me and three others were lucky. Me, Gray, Levy and Erza managed to escape somehow before the bus caught on fire, which we were told that if they weren't dead already, they would've instantly be killed anyway.

We lost the people we loved. Our family. Our loves. Our soulmates. All taken in only a matter of seconds.

We cried. We suffered. Yet, we're still here.

I never... I never got to tell Natsu (he never even made it to eighteen) that I loved him for the final time or be able to protect my cousins or anything.

But, I shouldn't dwell on the past anymore. It'll never happen. He will never come back. None of them will. They've since long been dead.

They're all dead and there's nothing I can do about it.

"-u-chan? Lu-chan!" I heard Levy shouting next to me, frantically pointing her pen above my head.

I look up to see Mr. Clive, with his eye slightly twitching in annoyance.

"Is there something you'd like to share with the class, Miss Heartfilia?" he asks as I stop tapping my pencil.

"No thanks. I'm fine." I give him a cheeky smile and he goes back to his desk in a huff.
