A Dark Secret? (Rewrite)

Part 10

~Flashback Start~

"Please be alive."

A kid could be seen running happily through his village carrying a small child on his back. "And that is the bakery! Though mom's cooking is better." The mysterious kid said with a slight giggle as he ran past a bakery. The little kid had a smile on his face as his brother began to cheer and laugh clapping his hands. "Faster! Faster!" The little kid shouted in glee. It was moments like these that the little kid loved dearly. He felt as if the world would never end. Just him and his brother against all odds.

But soon this kid's world came crashing down. There was fire and the buildings were burned to the ground. Everything was gone in the blink of an eye. The little kid was running through the village his heart pounding and sweat rolling off his face. "Please be alive." The kid said in a soft voice as he passed the bakery by his house. It was burned to the ground as memories of him and his brother buying bread and sneaking some food were erased. The kid then arrived at his house and gasped loudly. Where his house once stood now lay ashes of what once was. Memories of the kid flashed in front of him; from his brother being born to just this morning. The kid fell to the ground and let out an ear piercing scream as his body started to tremble with sobs. In just one moment his entire world was changed and he took it for granted. Now he had no one.

~Flashback End~

Zeref woke up trembling. He hadn't had that thought of that time in a long while. Zeref curled in on himself and silently began to cry. If only he had come earlier then maybe just maybe he wouldn't be here today. That maybe just maybe he would be dead.

Natsu was walking around with Larcade and talking. "How was father when he was younger?" He asked as Natsu smiled knowingly. "Zeref was an energetic little one but devoted his soul to studying," Natsu said as he began to laugh along with Larcade. Natsu then froze as his eyes widened. "There is darkness, trouble is brewing." Natsy said ominously as he began to run to Zeref's room.
