Not What It Seems

Lucy couldn't remember a time where she didn't have strange dreams. From she was a child she had dreams about arms holding her, eyes staring at her, voices talking to her.

Calling her strange names.

She was always fine with them though. Most times she'd wake up well-rested and warm. She'd felt safe in those dreams like she could do anything with them cheering her on.

That was until her mother died.

Her father gave her a music box after her mother died, she had seen her mother look at it with such disdain and unhappiness, why was he giving it to her? It had markings and engravings on it and Lucy couldn't even open it. It has a range key lock to it, it was like a Celestial key could fit it but Aquarius' key didn't fit and she got mad at her when Lucy had tried to use it on the lock.

That was when the dreams turned into nightmares. There were mostly of others, men and women alike scream even some children. They weren't the voices she had heard before they were colder, in pain. They told her she never took responsibility for what she did, to stop playing the victim, to just wake up already.

Then she joined Fairy Tail, she got friends who she didn't have to pay to stay with her, friends who she didn't keep on her hip.

And that's when both dreams and nightmares stopped entirely.

She now only remembered parts of them mostly those that included a girl, she would always shine the brightest in her memories, blue eyes, and a kind, almost sad smile. Some so many people looked similar to him, so many that made her feel safe. But she always knew they weren't the same people. With them, she felt a natural kind of hate, like a chemical reaction burning her skin and turning her into a monster but with her, she was always elated, happy, and free and no one could take that from her.
