The door opens and Lucy walks in with someone. Someone that looked a lot like her.

"Oh look. There are two Lucy's. What ever could we do?" Gray asked, being sarcastic.

Lucy rolls her eyes and I was staring at her. She looks at me and smiles, waving a small hello.

I wave at her back and she clears her throat.

"Everyone, meet my ancestor from 100 years." Lucy said, smiling.

"Oh, she does look familiar." I said.

"Hey, I'm Anna Heartfilia. Pleasure to meet you two." Anna said, smiling.

"Anna, the one with the scarf is my boyfriend, Natsu Dragneel, and the one with the raven hair is my friend, Gray Fullbuster. The two are brothers."

"With different surnames?" Anna asked, confused.

"Gray's adopted. The rest are a bit personal." Lucy said, and I sigh.

"Well, Anna. Tell us about yourself." Gray said, smirking as he takes a sip of his whiskey.

"Ah, I'm a vampire. I come from 100 years in the past through a portal called the Eclipse Gate. Layla Heartfilia, Lucy's mother, and I were really great friends. Layla gave birth to Lucy 100 years ago. But, she didn't liked the era she was in so her mother time traveled 100 years in the future and that's how she got here." Anna explained, and I raise my eyebrows in surprise.

"Wow! We got another vampire, Lucy's from the past, and there's a portal! What picks my interest is the portal. Explain, Anna." Gray said.

"Well, the portal can't be used until there's a full moon. You can open it but you need The 12 Gates. All of them. Do you guys happen to know any of them?" Anna asked, and Lucy nods.

"Yes! My guardian, Aquarius is one of the 12. A friend of mine, Loki, is one of the 12. He met someone in Crocus who is one of the 12. Her name is Aries." Lucy said, and I raise my eyebrows in surprise once again.

"Ah, only three? I guess we need nine more gates if we're going to open up the portal." Anna said, pouting.

"Wait, why are we opening the portal?" Gray asked, suspicious.

"Well, we're going to kill Zeref before he turns immortal. Have you guys heard of this enemy called Alvarez? Have you been attacked by them before?"

"Actually, Luce has been attacked by a woman named Brandish twice with her companion, Ajeel. Well, Ajeel attacked her once with Brandish and–"

"Yeah, I know what you mean, fellow Dragneel."

For some reason, the way she said Dragneel made me feel uncomfortable.

"Enough being in this room. Lucy, go ahead and call Aquarius. I'm going to need her."

"Uh, for what reason, Anna?"

"Aquarius has the ability to travel to the Memory of the Stars. Memory of the Stars shows you what had occurred in the past. I want Aquarius to show all of you three what had happened to the Eclipse Gate." Anna explained, and Lucy nodded.

"Alright. I'll give her a call." Lucy said, taking out her phone.

"Better yet, let's bring her here." Gray runs off and comes back with Aquarius.

She looks pissed.

"Don't you ever do that to me ever again!!" Aquarius shouted, and Gray nodded.

"Y-Yes, certainly." Gray said, running back to the couch.

I chuckled and Gray glares at me.

"Do we got a problem?!"
