"(Y/N)! Why have you done this to us?!" Natsu shouts, a look of intense hatred on his face. His eyeballs are nonexistent, instead, mini balls of fire the color of dried blood replace the missing objects. He smiles creepily at me, revealing a row of pointy-sharp teeth that are begging to sink into my flesh.

  "I-I...." My brain scrambles for words, any words, to string into a sentence. My sense of calamity is completely destroyed as adrenaline rushes through me; terror spiking down my body.

  "You have betrayed us. I...will not forgive you!" Erza requips into Heaven's Wheel armor, and points all of her swords to her target: me. She looks even more terrifying than usual. Fresh blood drips from her fangs. Her hair leaks the precious red liquid everywhere, tainting the air with a metallic scent.

   Lucy summons all of her Celestial Spirits. They all look devious, and I cower under their fierce glares. Even the softie of the group, Aries, has taken the appearance of a demon. Her once light pink hair is now a startling blood red. Her horns look like charcoal, and radiate red-hot heat. She carries a matching pitchfork.

Dried blood is caked onto her cream colored outfit, and her eyes....they appear to be glowing coals.

  Even the blonde is disturbingly demonic. Her chocolate brown eyes are gone, leaving pits of darkness in her head. Gooey black liquid drips down, imitating tears.

  Lucy's faded gray-blonde hair seems devoid of any life; her bright blonde hair is quite the opposite of what it is now.

  I slowly back away from the three, and trip over an unexpected rock. I look behind me as I fall, and see an endless abyss of shadows waiting for me.

  In slow motion, I fall over the edge, and as all of them kick me to add to the effect, time resumes motion. I scream as the shadows engulf my form, and sense the ground right beneath me.

  'Impossible! This is an endless-' I think, but I am cut off by my own scream of terror and the devious laughing from above.

  The sense of ground inches closer and closer, until-

I wake up abruptly just before my body slams into the 'ground'. I am breathing hard, and I feel as if my breaths aren't fulfilling my need for oxygen. I am hyperventilating.

   As I attempt to slow down my breathing, I am startled as I hear a scream.

  It takes me a moment to realize that the scream belongs to me.

  I manage to stop screaming, but the images of the twisted versions of Natsu, Lucy, and Erza are burnt into my mind.

  I shiver in fear as their words invade my mind, and I feel tears start streaming down my face.

They wouldn't ever do that to me...so why am I afraid?

   I take shaky breaths, reassuring myself that it was only a dream.

   I check the time after who knows long, and I realize that it's four. Sting, Rogue, Yukino, and I decided to meet up at 5, which means I have about thirty minutes to shower and get ready before I start heading to Sabertooth.

  I reluctantly get out of bed, wrapping a blanket around me for comfort. My legs feel like they'll give out at any given moment. Slightly sighing, I pick out my normal outfit.

  I'm shivering. I don't know if it's from fear or temperature, or perhaps both, so I glance out my window to check.

  My window has drops of condensation spilling down slowly, so I open it to get a better view.

   I slightly gasp. It looks like a winter wonderland.

   A good six inches of snowfall has accumulated overnight, which covers everything: streets, rooftops, decorative flowers, etc. The sky is full of light-colored clouds, and snowflakes fall down continuously. The harsh breeze creates artistic arcs of snowflakes, but also tosses around the drifts of snow.

  I take a good moment to admire the winter-in-spring scenery, then I grab my extra warm (f/c) sweatshirt. On the inside of my sweatshirt, there's a layer of fuzziness for added warmth.

I lay it on my bed, then take a shower. After I get dressed, I blow dry my hair so ice crystals won't form in my silky strands. (A/N: LOL that's actually happened to me.)

I pull my sweatshirt over my head, and put on a (f/c) beanie. After a moment, I decide to wear my (f/c) gloves. I just wear my plain converse.

I run downstairs and swing my door open, revealing streets that contain undisturbed snow. It is a blessing yet a curse, for now I have to trudge through six inches of snow while the blizzarding continues.

Frowning slightly, I start walking to Sabertooth.

  Thankfully, the walk to Sabertooth is uneventful. Other than the fact I may have accidentally face planted into the snow. My face is also red from exposure to the chilly wind.

   This is when I wish I had a face-mask like Dobengal.

  Shivering, I swiftly enter the doors to my guild.
