[Y/N's POV]

~~~Y/N's Dream~~~

I was in the guildhall sitting and watching everyone mess around and fight. There were kegs, chairs, and tables flying all over the place. I look to my left and see Lisanna sitting there with a smile on her face watching everyone as well. She then turned to me in order to say something.

Lisanna: "Hey Y/N, should most likely stop them from destroying the guild. Release a bit of your power. I bet they'll be scared soulless."

Y/N: *smiling* "Okay!"

I got up and started to release some of my power, but then something changed. I realized I was at the front of the guildhall by the doors, and when I released my power, black clouds started to roll off of me. I try to stop the power from growing, but no matter what I do, I can't stop it. I quickly looked up with panic written all over my face, but what I see doesn't help one bit. I see everyone afraid. Looking at me with fear in their eyes. I try to say something, but nothing comes out. I try to run away to protect them, but my body wouldn't move.

Random Guild Member: MONSTER!!!

Mira: "And people thought I was a demon, you're about 100 times worse than me."

Gray: "You're a monstrosity!! How can you even call yourself a member of our guild with that kind of magic?"

Erza: "You're no different than dark guild members. You have no right to be here. Makarov should have just left you in the forest to die."

I kept hearing them yelling horrible things towards me. I couldn't stop my tears. I felt like I've been stabbed 100 times in the chest while twisting the blade. I fall to my knees, cover my ears, and close my eyes.

Y/N: "Shut up, shut up, shut up!!!! You're not real!!!!"

???: "But we are, Y/N."

I turned around to see Lisanna standing there. However, she wasn't smiling. She was giving me a look of pure sadness.

Lisanna: "Why weren't you there to help me?"

Y/N: "Wha--"

Lisanna: "Why didn't you save me?!?! YOU TOOK THAT STUPID QUEST BEFORE HAND, AND NOW I'M DEAD!!! YOU FAILED TO KEEP YOUR OWN PROMISE!!! YOU SAID YOU WOULD PROTECT EVERYONE!!! WELL WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?! I DIED! AND YOU DID NOTHING TO STOP IT!"

Y/N: "Lisanna, I--"

Lisanna: "YOU WHAT?! *mocking voice* Oh, I had to go on the quest. I have to protect everyone. *back to yelling* WELL GUESS WHAT?! YOU FAILED! YOU LET YOUR BEST FRIEND DIE AT THE HANDS OF HER OWN BROTHER! YOU'RE THE WORST KIND OF PERSON THAT COULD BE LET INTO THIS WORLD!"

As she was yelling, I started to get caught up in what she was saying. Everything she said echoed in my head. I suddenly feel a slight disturbance in the air. I look up to see Lisanna holding a knife right above my head. She suddenly stabs towards me. I can only sit and watch in shock as the knife plummets towards my face. Right before the knife hits me, everything goes to black.
