Tori's P.O.V
I looked to see Maria leaning against a tree. "Why didn't you tell me that she was getting through?" she asks.
"I didn't want you to worry." I say, my guitar disappearing.
"Tori, I'm gonna worry about that no matter what. The fact that she is over in that dimension drains you of your magic!"
"I know. But, you know how a music Dragon slayer works, a little music and I'm perfectly fine. Besides, I didn't have a choice, it was either put her there or... Or kill her... And we both know that I can't do that."
"Look, I know she's your twin! But.."
I freeze, "this has to stop! You can't just keep using up large quantities of your magic power. If this keeps up, you could die!"
"People weren't born with magic power. If my magic is drained I'll just feel like a dead battery. But I'll still be alive."
"I know that. But if your power drains, she can get out. And if she gets out, She will kill you."
"....... I know..."
I suddenly collapse to my knees and start to cry, hot tears streamed down my face. Maria kneels in front of me and gives me a hug and just lets me cry, "s-she didn't even learn music magic with me. She said it wasn't her style and I could respect that, she learned mirror magic instead... But then she found Acknologia... She became a... A Death Dragon slayer... She killed anyone She thought to be beneath her.... S-she ... She killed my dragon Musa!! The only mother I ever knew!... She used a forbidden spell that turned my heart black... We were known as the Grim Dragon twins, and we killed so, so many people...."
I continued to sob on Maria's shoulder, she pats my back, trying to comfort me, "it wasn't your fault. She was controlling you."
"But it was my fault!"
"... How did the spell break?"
"........ It was because of Lauxus..... He doesn't remember though. You and I hadn't met yet, I think he was 15 and I was 12. He was sent to kill us.. We were attacking a small town a few miles away from Hargeon... Believe it or not.. We were an S class mission.. You know my silver eye? At the time it was black. He attacked Vicky and I tried to help her, he sent an electrical charge through my heart, which was supposed to be for her, and it broke the spell.. My heart was no longer black... He got knocked out soon afterwards. So I used what was left of my magic to seal her away.... And I'm not gonna let her get through."
"..... I know you won't."
I suddenly hear rustling in the woods. I see a familiar blonde and quickly splash some pond water on my face so it didn't look like I was crying.
Lauxus walks out of the woods, "Hey, you alright? Everyone's worried, they said you just ran out of the guild." he says.
I nod and plaster on a smile, "yep. I'm fine!" I say.
"You better be, cause gramps has got some news for you two." he sits down next to me.
"What?" me and Maria synchronize.
"Fairy Tail's entering the grand magic games, there will be two teams, and he wants you two to be on team B."
"Really?! That's awesome!" I say, smiling for real this time.
Me and Maria high five each other, "Wait! That means we've gotta start training!" Maria says.
"You're right! Where should we train?" I ask.
"How about here? Its a pretty nice place. We could get some tents and it could almost be like camping." Lauxus suggests.
"Yes! Who else is gonna be on team B?"
"Umm... You, Maria, me, Gajeel, and Mira. Natsu, Gray, Erza, Lucy, and Wendy will be on team A."
"Why isn't Keysha in the games?"
"She was in team B last year, and she thought it would be a good idea for you to take her place. She really has faith in you."
~Timeskip after everyone packed and are back at the clearing!~
Lauxus and I put up the tents, since we both had lightning magic they were all up in 3 minutes flat. I had brought all the training equipment I needed, we all started to train immediately. We split into 2 groups, the boys would practice their magic while the girls would work on enhancing our endurance and strength. I knew of a perfect exercise for the occasion, I went into my tent and came back out with a long black and blue ribbon.
"What kind of exercise is this?" Mira asks.
"A fun one! And it helps to increase, agility, flexibility, speed, strength, a bit of reflexes. And it helps with grace!" I say then start the music.

This was another way to let my stress out, I just made up the moves as I went, the ribbon was like an extension of my body.
As soon as I finish, I hear clapping, I turn around to see the boys there as well.
"Bravo!" Mira says.
"Quite impressive." Lauxus says.
"Not bad." Gajeel speaks.
"Tori that was great!" Maria says.
I noticed that it was sunset and decided it was time to retire for the night, I got in the girls tent and crawled into my sleeping bag before drifting off to sleep.
