Nashi's POV

I jump awake as I start to cough, regaining my breath. I gently brush my hand against my neck. What happened?  I look around and see three people on the ground, and the whole alley destroyed. I look around and see that the two men from earlier completely knocked out. Did I do this?  I stand up and look over to the third, who is panting heavily. They had their hood covering their head. "Man, I really over did it this time." the person chuckles. Now I'm confused. I rermeber this voice, but I know for a fact it's no one from the guild. So who is it. 

"W-who are you?" I ask, my voice trembling a bit. "I guess everyone really did forget. It has been almost 4 years now..." This doesn't help. "I asked a question." I growl. They may be older, but I don't care. I will defend myself. "It's alright Nash, I won't hurt you." 

"Will you just shut up and tell me who you are already?!"

"Jeez, just as stubborn as your mother. Fine, I already exposed myself by helping you. Wendy wouldv'e sniffed me out on you anyways."

The stranger lifts their hood to reveal a man in about his late 20's with salmon hair like mine. He had the same eye color and skin tone as Luke, but of course, aged. 

"Are you-"

"Yeah."

"Then how are you-" 

"It's a long story that I don't feel like explaining right now. Can you at least lead me to your home first?"

"How do I know your not a fake!"

"Hmm. I don't know."

"That's not helping your case!" I pout. He chuckles. "Alrighty then, follow me." My 'Dad' grabs my hand. "Hey wait! What about Mom and Luke?!" He tsks. "Luce replaced me already? Whatever, you'll be fine." He starts to run of in a direction. 

We evetually reach an abandoned house. "D-Do I have to go in there?" I shudder. "Yes, it's not that bad, trust me." He opens the door and it creaks open. The house was old. It had cobwebs in each and every corner. Spiders and bugs crawled around everywhere. The walls were rusting and the floor was filled with dust. I closed my eyes in discust. Just the thought created goosebumps on my arms and legs. I heard him chuckle. 

After carefully walking through, we reach what looks like a trapdoor. The man opens it. Under the trapdoors, ladders lead to who knows where. The man crawls down first. When he reaches the bottom, he reaches his hands out. "Jump." He says blatanly. "What! But I don't even see you or know whats down there! What if your trying to kidnap me!" I yell, clearly not falling for the same trap twice. I can feel him roll his eyes. "If I really wanted to, I would've done it by now." I guess he's right. I take a deep breath before jumping into the darkness. 

Sure enough, I feel myself land in his arms. "See, told you; you can trust me." He says. He begins to drop me but I cling to him. "A-actually can I stay on you? I d-don't really like the dark. P-plus you might loose me!" I hear him chuckle. "All right." I climb onto his back and he continues walking. Sooner or later I feel myself fall asleep on his back. Hmmm, it's really warm. 

I wake to hear us stop in a room. "We're here." 'Dad' says. I look around and that we're in a dark room see glowing eyes. I shriek and tighten my hold on my fathers torso. I hide my face on his shoulder blade. I hear my dad sigh. "Stop it Jellal. It's just me." I feel my father turn his head. "It's alright. The lights are on now." I look up and see a small room with four small matresses layed out in a corner. Theres a couch in one corner and a table in the other. "What is this place?" 

"Our hideout."

"Aye, Salamander; I thought we were coming back at the same time!" A guy with long black hair says. "Yeah, what Gajeel said." A blue haired guy with red tatoos on his face said. Gajeel? Isn't that Emma and Gale's missing father? Wait a minute... 

"I know, I know. But I couldn't exactly just let the Pythons have their way with her." Natsu explains. The raven-haired shirtless guy's eyes widened. "No way, the ones left over found out? And better yet they want to attack after all they've lost?!" He exclaims. "I guess so." Daddy shrugs his shoulders. "That's not good, I guess we'll have to come out sooner rather than later. But of course, with the stunt you pulled we're being forced to come out sooner anyways." The blue haired guy frowns. "Hehe, yeah. Sorry about that." 

After looking at them for awhile, I'm able to pinpoint it. "Wait a minute, if your my dad, then that means that they guy with the blue hair is Uncle Jellal, the shirtless guy is Uncle Gray, and the guy with the long black hair is Uncle Gajeel!" I point them out. Uncle Gajeel and Gray smirked. "I see you didn't only inherit your mothers looks." Uncle Jellal smiles. "You could learn a thing from her flame-brain." Uncle Gray smirks. "Shut it Ice breath!" My father spits. 

"How do you remember us anyways? You were only two when we.. disappeared." Uncle Gray asks. "Well how could I forget you? The guild and my mom always tell stories of you guys before you died. It's as if you guys we're the dead founders of the guild!" I giggle. "Really? Luce really must not miss me that much, or else she wouldn't be with that Luke guy." I shoot a questioning look to Daddy, but then let it go. "Dang, already moved on. I feel sorry for you bud." Gray teases. "Your not helping!" My father pouts.

"So what now?" Uncle Gray asks. "Well, we have to go home obviously. Bunny girl is going to freak when she realizes her only child is gone." Gajeel states. I was about to correct him, but Jellal interrupted. "We'll have to leave soon though, the guild is probably already searching for her." "Welp.." Gray starts. "it's now or never."
