I walked through the carnival. The bright lights and the smell of popcorn was everywhere. Suddenly I heard a scream. The scream of a child. A terrible scream like that of a night terror. It was... Me. I watched as my tiny self hung onto dear life from a Ferris Wheel cart with both hands slowly slipping. My mother, Mavis, and my father, Zeref screamed for help as their young daughter was close to her death. I ran in my now body, under where I calculated my young self would fall. 

'Hang on mini-me!' I thought. I looked up but the Ferris Wheel was gone. Everything was. Just a black field of nothing and a light grey sky. I looked around once again and saw Natsu and Erza standing a little ways away. "Erza! Natsu!" I shouted at the two. They turned around and I shrunk back in horror. Their eyes weren't there. Only empty sockets with blood running out of them. 

They both began to run towards me, Erza taking the lead. I began to take steps back until I burst into a full sprint when the guild came into view. I gave a sigh of relief which was cut short when a cold death grip touched my shoulder. "Daddy?" I turned to see Zeref with tears in his eyes. "Daddy what's wrong?!" I cried as I grabbed his shoulders and hugged him. He pushed me back and a black sphere appeared in his hand. 

A white sphere began to appear in mine. "Don't come near me with that death magic. I love you father. I wish not to hurt you." The phrase my mother would say to me repeated in my mind, 'Light overpowers dark. Love overpowers hate.' A bright pink magic circle appeared beneath my feet (like how it did when Lucy used Urano Metria on Angel). A bright pink light beamed down from a swirl in the sky upon me. 

Father had stopped crying, yet he held a look of disgust on his face. I had never known what disgust looked like until now. Tears built up in my eyes as I felt my magic slowly drained from my body. I fell to the ground while Father stood over me with anger now plastered on his face. He raised the dark sphere and began bringing it down. I thought I was dead.

~Dream End~

I sat up in my bed with beads of sweat racing down my forehead and cheeks. The clock on the bedside table read "9:48 P.M.". Wait. 9:48?! What happened to the mission? Our extremely important mission!
