ALEX POV

"Alex! Give me back my pants!" Gray yelled after me, while I was running around the guild waving a pair of pants in the air. "Catch me if you can," I replied looking over my shoulder. Not seeing where I was going, or what I was doing, I made a huge mistake.

"ALEX!! GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!! YOU WILL DIE FOR DESTROYING MY CAKE!!" Erza yelled now chasing after me with Gray right behind her. "Guys. You need to keep it down, or you'll wake up Lucy," Wendy said silently. "I looked back at her before tripping over Mira's foot and face slammed into the guild's floor. I was getting up when I felt someone trip on me and land ontop of me.

You know those moments when your life flashes before your eyes? Well, that is exactly happened when I turned over to see who it was. "Found ya!" Erza said with a dark aura around her and then... BAM ... Erza's fore head slammed against my nose, when Gray had also tripped over me. "Owwwwwie!" I said holding my nose that was bleeding now. Erza rubbed her forehead and then glared at me and Gray, then grabbed my bangs and Grays bangs then slammed our faces together.

"Alex, give Gray his pants back and be quiet," Erza said and walked back to the table. Everyone sweatdropped and said,"You were loud, too." I stood up and brushed myself off and Wendy healed my nose. Such a sweet girl, and you wonder how people like her ended up in such a reckless and destructive guild.

"I'm gonna check to see if Lucy woke up yet," I said walking to the infirmary. We got back about 5 hours ago and Lucy has been askeep that entire time, even while we were on the train. Natsu hasn't left her side yet, which raises your suspicions about him liking Lucy. Although I wouldn't be suprised. I creaked the door open to the infirmary, and found Lucy stirring in her sleep and Natsu was leaning back in a chair trying to keep himself awake.

"Hey. Do you wanna get some sleep? I'll watch her for you," I told Natsu who jerked his head up when he heard me speak. "Nah, I'm fine. I want to be here when she wakes up," He said smiling his big smile and rubbing the back of his head. I nodded and plopped into the chair on the other side of Lucy's bed. "So are you gonna leave the guild since you practically finished your job for Igneel?" Natsu asked, with a hint of disappointment. "No. I like it here, and besides, that old scale bag doesn't decide what I do for the rest of my life. All Igneel said to do was to show you and Lucy the special powers, and finish off Vallen," I said then looked down at the floor,"I highly doubt that Igneel really cared for me. All he ever talked about was you, he truely cares for you."

There was a single tear that streamed down my cheek. I felt a hand on my shoulder. "That's not true, Alex. Igneel gave that anklet to you for a reason, to show his love and care for you. I think that he couldn't have chosen a better sister than you," Natsu said looking me in the eye. I just started to cry even more,"You don't understand, Natsu. I don't have a single memory of my childhood, only patches like me as a kid or me running around with Prada. I've been in 5 different magic guilds since I was 4 years old. I'M A LOST CAUSE, NATSU! I CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT OR KEEP ANYONE SAFE!"

He flinched in suprise at my tone. Its true the only thing I've done for anyone was hurt them or bring misfortune to the people around them. "That's not true at all," Lucy said sitting up. Natsu and I both look at her in suprise. "Lucy? How long have you been awake?" Natsu asked. "Long enough to hear all of that. Alex, we are your new family. You haven't done anything wrong, nor hurt any of us," Lucy replied. I sniffled,"B-but you got hurt because if my past, I couldn't protect you. Just like I couldn't protect Prada."

"It will never be your fault, my child."

"Master?" we all asked. "People can't have happy childhood memories. Lucy suffered a bad childhood, Erza suffered from the Tower of Heavan, Gray lost his master, Natsu hasn't seen Igneel for years. We have all suffered something terrible. That's why we are here, is to help you through all of your problems," Master continued. I was blinking to make sure that I heard everything correctly.

"Y-You want me to stay?" I asked not sobbing anymore. They nodded in agreement."Of course we want you to stay," Lucy and Natsu said-creepily-simutaneously. "You are apart of this family. You are my child," Master said. I grinned,"Thanks, guys." Master turned his attention to Lucy,"Glad to see you awake." Lucy giggled and replied,"Glad to be awake. I'm gonna go see everyone." With that she stood up and walked to the door.

As soon as she opened the door, Erza, Levy, Lissana, Wendy, and Juvia dog piled on her with a bone crusshing hug. "Lucy! You're okay!" The girls yelled. "Y-Yeah. Can't-breathe-loosing-conciousness," Lucy choked out while looking light headed. They all let go and helped her up. After that, everyone just partied and checked up on Lucy. I snook out of the guild and went to the only place that I knew no one could find me at.

In the East Forest...............

I was sitting on a rock at the edge of this pond that I had found. The moon was coming over a clearing in the sky. Everything was peaceful and sirene. "What the hell am I gonna do with myself?" I was talking to my reflection in the pond. Great now I sound like a nut-job.

"Nothing is wrong with you, it's just that you have to unleash your inner self," said a random person behind me. I jerked around to see a man in a black cloak. "Your scent," I said,"Its familiar." Poison and Coffee. "Haruniki?" I said walking towards the hooded figure. He backed up alittle,"I-I don't know who you're talking about." I took faster steps, the figure tripped on a root behind him..........

Making me trip on him landing directly on top of him. I pushed myself off of him, but before I did, I yanked his hood off and then revealed the one and only Haruniki. "What are you doing here?" I asked him,"and where's Pirus?" He got back up,"I need to talk with you, and Pirus said she was going to walk around Magnolia and explore."

"Oh, well. What do you want to talk about?" I asked sitting back down on my rock. "I was wondering if you wanted to come with me and Pirus on a mission. We......... we think that we've found a way to bring back memories, and we thought this would help," Haruniki said. I stared at him in amazement,"M-My memories?"

He nodded. I was about to say, Hell yeah I'll go!, But i just smiled and said,"Thanks for the offer, but I decline. I don't need those memories now that I have a new family right here." He smiled and walked up to me. He looked down at me then hugged me,"See you later, Alex." I blushed lightly as he turned into black mist. "You, too."
