Tori's P.O.V
I walked through darkness... I didn't know where I was going, I just kept walking. My eyes suddenly land on a full length mirror, I walk up to it to see my reflection. I had my hair in pigtails, my left pigtail holding the streak of white I've always had since that fateful day. I looked like my 14 year old self, I had a white skirt on that reached just above my knees, a white button up top, and a little black bow around my neck.
'I will be here
When you think you're all alone
Seeping through the cracks
I'm the poison in your bones
My love is your disease
I won't let it set you free
Til I break you'
A voice sings, I look around and there is no one around. I look back at the mirror and gasp, my reflection was different... The white streak in my hair was black, my silver eye had turned black, my white outfit was black and the ribbon around my neck was white.. That's when I realized that it wasn't me.. It was my reflection that was singing the haunting melody.
The mirror suddenly cracked, I turn and start to run, a long corridor of mirrors had suddenly appeared. With everyone that I ran past they cracked, each and every mirror holding the same face of the cruel girl.
'You'll never know what hit you!
Won't see me closing in
I'm gonna make you suffer
This hell you put me in'
She sneers at the verse, referring to what I did to her.
'I'm underneath your skin
The devil within
You'll never know what hit you'
I finally found a way out, a large wooden door stood in front of me. I pull it open and continue running. I see my guild mates ahead of me, Maria starts to run towards me, then all of a sudden it was like they were above me. It felt like I was swimming through oil, team Natsu held Maria back as she reach out her hand. I reach out my hand and try to grab hers, her fingertips barely brush against mine before I felt like I was being pulled down into the darkness again. I was sinking deeper and deeper, I see Maria looking at me with a panicked look on her face. Her mouth was moving but I couldn't hear the words she was saying. Little bubbles of air escaped my lips as I felt myself losing what little air I had left in my lungs.
'The devil within'
--------------------------------------------
I bolt up in my bed, beads of sweat rolled down my forehead as I took deep breaths. I look at my surroundings, I was in my room, in Fairy hills, it was light out. The clock on my nightstand read 7:32 A.M. I sighed and fell back onto my pillow, I started to doze of again when I suddenly felt an arm wrap around me in a hug. My eyes snap open to see it was Natsu hugging me in his sleep.
"WHAT THE HELL?!?!" I yell and kick him off the bed.
"Ow! What was that for?" Natsu asks rubbing his head.
"FOR BEING A PERVERT!! WHY ARE YOU HERE?!"
"Lucy kicked us out in the middle of the night and the last time we visited Maria she beat us up!" Happy says landing on my head.
"You do know this is the girls dorms right?! Someone could just waltz right in-"
As soon as the words left my mouth, my bedroom door opened and there was Erza standing in the doorway. A dark aura suddenly surrounds her as she notices Natsu, "Natsu...." She says menacingly.
She punches him and he's goes flying out the open window next to my bed, "Sorry!" He yells as happy goes to grab him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I put my head down on the bar as I started to doze off again for the 5th time that day. Maria sits down in a chair next to me, "Yeesh, what happened to you?" She asks.
"Nothing. Just nightmares." I mumble.
"Is it about.. You know.. Vicky?" She whispers.
"Yeah. But it's fine... Quick question. Did Natsu ever break into your house and sleep with you?" I ask changing the subject.
"How did you know that?"
"I woke up this morning to a warm hug from a sleeping Natsu. The perv."
"WHAT?!"
"It's fine. I'm gonna be kickin' his ass today anyway! What song did you use when you fought him?"
"You're going down, by sick puppies. And technically it wasn't me that used it."
"Aw! You took my first choice! Oh well, I'll have to go with my second choice."
"Which would be?"
"You'll have to wait and see."
"Why don't you tell them about her? I told them about me, and they still accepted me."
"But it's different for me. Yes, you have a curse, a split personality. But me? I have a twin who's famous for the murder of who knows how many people. Not to mention she killed our own dragon, not that she even bothered to practice the same magic as me."
"Whatever you say. It's your choice."
A chair suddenly flies past me over the bar counter, nearly hitting me, Maria, and Mira, who was cleaning a dish behind the counter.
"TORI!! IT'S TIME FOR OUR BATTLE!!!" Natsu yells.
I sigh and get up, I walk outside the guild with Natsu following close behind. Everyone gathered around us, I see half of the guild betted that I would win, Lauxus also being one of them. The other half of the guild betted that Natsu was going to win. The fools are gonna loose their money!
"This is your last warning Natsu! A courtesy call! Surrender now!" I say.
"Now way in hell!! I wanted a fight! You really think that I'm gonna give in when we haven't even started?!" He yells in chibi mode.
I sigh, 'Hey, oh. Here comes a danger up in this club, when we get started man we ain't gonna stop. We gonna turn it up till it gets to hot. Everybody sing hey-o, tell 'em turn it up till they can't no more. Let's get this thing shaking like a disco ball. This is your last warnin' a courtesy call.' I sing.
Natsu looks at me confused, a strong aura appears around me. I tilt me head to the side and grin at him,'Hey-o here comes a danger up in this club, when we get started man we ain't gonna stop, we gonna turn it up till it get's to hot. Everybody sing HEY-o tell em' turn it up till they can't no more, let's get thing shakin' like a disco ball, this is your last warning a courtesy call.'
My blue and black guitar appears in my hands, as I continue to build up my magic power, Natsu attacks.
"FIRE DRAGON ROAR!!"
As his flames make a dirrect course towards me, I smirk, I strum a few notes and his attack is absorbed by my guitar.
"What the hell?! Aw come on man that's just not fair!" Natsu yells in chibi mode again.
"That's the thing! A music dragon slayers instrument can absorb any elemental attack and store it away for later!" I explain, "Now it's my turn."
A electric yellow magic circle appears undernieth my feet, my hair fly's everywhere as electicity buzzes all around me.
"No way!" Natsu and Lauxus synchronize.
A spark can be seen in my eyes as I look at the slamander, 'I am not afraid, of the storm that comes my way, when it hits it'll shake me to the core and make me stronger than before.'
"SHOCK WAVE!!!!" I strum the guitar and an electric yellow beam shoots from the strings right at Natsu. It was lik watching a deer in headlight. It hit him head on. When the dust cleared he was noticed hanging from a nearby tree.
My guitar disappears and I walk through the crowd, "Check mate." I say, "I win."
