Fairy 10: Dream that he does not want to remember.

Fairy 10: Dream that he does not want to remember. (Re-Edited)

It is a dream, a dream that Zack had many times already. But oddly enough, each time he had this dream or the others, he always forgets them. But his feelings within them does not.

Sadness, rage, a will to kill, and emptiness. It something that Zack never wanted to feel, something he always runs away from, as his instincts tells him if he accepts those feelings, he will change for better or worst. And he does not want to know which one that is.

He dreamt about the blond-haired boy, who watches his father, who did unspeakable things to himself, mother or even his own little sisters.

The young boy felt like dying, but his younger sisters the only thing that given him a reason to live. That's why, at that day when that thing, he calls father. Looked at his sisters in a way a father shouldn't. Something inside the blond-haired boy snapped.

And the next thing the boy knows, he was looking down with a knife in his hand. Looking at the dead father who always seems like a giant to him. Dead, looking at his murderer, his son, right in his eyes. But the boy felt nothing, but the boy did feel something.

And what he felt killing his own father, this waste of human trash? He felt joy, and freedom, knowing he cannot hurt him or his siblings anymore. However, the adults didn't share this joy with him. And took his sisters, the only source of his sanity away from him. As for himself, the adults brought him to a special place, full of mental ill children like him.

Many years passed in that place, and when he was finally free from it. He distances himself from everyone, as he didn't want to become like his father, he didn't want to hurt or be hurt by anyone. Of course, he wanted to meet his dear little sisters, but at the same time. He was afraid if they see him differently than before.

But that changed when he met her, a troublesome woman that will not let him be. A woman that always has a gentle smile, like a big sister, that won't leave him be. That's why, slowly he accepted her, and told her the things he did. He thought she will reject him, a child that can kill his own father. But she didn't, she just hugged him, which made him feel safe.

She is always cheerful, never let anyone be alone. She was the reason that the blond boy, now man, learn to love again. But just like him, she also has her past demons, and it wasn't long, when he found himself in the pool of his own blood.

Zack has dreamt this many times, but each time he forgot about it. However, those feelings don't, as they only keep getting stronger each passing day.

'I will protect them… this new family of mine… Fairy Tail'

Zack swears as he fallen to the abyss, closing his eyes, only to once forget what he just seen.

Within the forest, lies a young man with dark blue hair like the night skies. And grassy green eyes, as he chilled on the top of the tree, looking down at Magnolia. He likes this feeling, watching each life goes their busy life, as he quietly watches over them.

Knowing it was time to head back. The young man who is wearing black pants, with leather boots, and long sleeveless dark grey jacket, showing the lean muscle arms of his. The young man also leaves the chest area of his jacket opened, showing his bare chest, with the guild mark of Fairy Tail, informing everyone who looked at his opened chest, that he is a wizard of Fairy Tail.

When he was about to jump off the tree, a grin shown on the young man's face, as he leaped off the tree, and landed on another tree instead of the ground. And looked at the one that was about to kick him, a pink haired punk kid that around 13~14 years old.

"Come on Natsu, you got to do better than that." The young man known as Zack Smasher said that, with a wide grin on his face. Looking at the young boy before him, also known as Natsu Dragneel.

"Hahaha, I am just getting started, Zack!" With a cheerful smile, Natsu kicked off the tree and sent another kick towards Zack, but Zack himself just slightly moved to the side, as he grabbed hold of Natsu's ankle, and swung him to the ground.

"You got to do better than that Natsu, you think you can play with little old me?" Zack went with a playful smile.

"You're not that older than me! Do not sound like an old man!" Natsu roars, as flames covers his feet, as he used the powers of flames to blast himself towards Zack. Seeing this, Zack only smiled as he activates his Gravity Magic slowing down the bullet-like Natsu before he hit him, only to stand to the side, letting the tree itself to become Natsu's target.

"Ahh! It is unfair! Using Gravity Magic is cheating!" Natsu shamelessly went as he crashed into the tree.

"Ahh… I told you, nothing is fair in a fight, didn't I? And you used your Dragon Slayer Magic first, didn't you? So, whose one unfair?" Zack said with a grin. Which Natsu just looked the other way, not admitting his fault. Seeing his younger brother like that, Zack cannot help to laugh.

"Ooh Natsu, will you never change? Anyway, we should head back, come on, how about we have something to eat? I'll pay." Zack went with a smile.

"Really!?" Natsu said with drool can be seen leaving his mouth.

"Yeah… I mean, I like living off the land, so I don't have much use for Jewels."

Zack said with a sigh, even if he has learned a lot in this year. And he has changed compared the clueless boy that didn't know anything. Of course, Zack still clueless of many things, but he not as bad he was when he firstly joined Fairy Tail.

But some things did remain, like he refers to live in the woods. And in winter he does either rent a place, or normally stays with Natsu or Gray's place. Of course, he wanted to say at Mirajane's place at first. But that tomboy just kicks him out every time he tried. He knows there is a dormitory belonging to Fairy Tail, but that place only allows women members. And male members must find their own homes.

Rest of the year when it not winter. He spent his time in the woods, it may be dangerous at times. but Zack feels comfortable there. Of course, this is due to the fact, he has spent his first month in this world in the wilds. And since then, he referred this lifestyle. He even has built himself a hut not far from the town.

"How about you two? Fish sounds nice, and I think I know a place that also lets pets inside, and raw fish at that. And I will also help with a certain someone's studies?" Zack said while two figures came out of their hiding places, which shocked Natsu, that should be able to pick up them up with his nose. But he was too concentrated on beating Zack, he failed to notice them.

"Pets!? I am not a pet… did you say raw fish! Let us go!" Happy who is being hugged by Lisanna said that. As he already forgot about the whole 'pet' thing.

"Happy? Lisanna? Why are you two doing here?" Natsu askes.

"That because we are looking for you Natsu." Lisanna said that, as she looked at Zack, as her smile somewhat became forced: "And study… do I have to, big brother?"

"Hahaha, how else will you become stronger? Come on, I'm also interested in Take Over Magic, so I had looked into it. I'll help best to my knowledge." Zack said.

In the past year, Lisanna and Elfman does not really call Zack his name when Mirajane is not around. They called him big brother or bro (Elfman does). Seeing the current events around Mirajane and Zack, it goes without saying, that Zack may as well be their future brother-in-law.

"Come let's go!" Natsu said, as he run towards Lisanna. Seeing the two talking to each other, Zack smiled seeing this. He treats Elfman, Lisanna, Natsu, Cana and Gray as his little brothers and sisters in this past year for some reason.

Troublesome little sister that likes to drag him to drink, but he does not mind: 'I should get her some wine.'

Calm, stripper little brother, that not bad to hang around with: 'Maybe I should bring him on a quest and do some sparring with hm later as well.'

Cowardly but also slowly turning into a man, little brother, even if he bigger then Zack himself: 'I should buy some dumbbells? No, maybe I should spar with him as well.'

An elder sister, who is the same age as him. But kind but also strict older sister: 'I should get her a cake and asked if she can help with my sword forms again.'

Little sister, that always put others before her: 'What topic I learnt to help her… Take Over Magic is interesting, but I stay with my own.'

Chaotic little brother, but fun to be around with, but worried about his future: 'Should I ordered extra meat for him? Spicy ones, no I like the spicy ones… but it funny to see his face when he eats them, and he calls himself a Fire Dragon Slayer?'

As if he can sense he is being mocked, Natsu turn to face the smiling Zack, as he just shows his carefree smile. Which made Lisanna confused, wondering why Natsu just suddenly stopped talking, and looked back at Zack for some reason.

And Zack himself, thought about the last one around his age. A girl, which feels differently compared to a sibling. Bully? Maybe, but she sometimes can be soft, he can sense it. She is distancing herself from others. She only shows signs opening to him. But always refused to let anyone help her.

'She wants to do everything herself.'

'Not make any ties with others, to prove herself she doesn't need anyone.'

'She wanted to be the best, that's why she always headbutt with Erza,'

'But she is just a stubborn girl… and for some reason, I cannot leave her alone.'

When Zack thought that he doesn't know why. But even now he wanted to see her. He wanted to go with her and her siblings on missions. But felt he should be here when she comes back, that why he dares not to go far away from this place.

He does missions, earn an income that comes to over three million Jewels since he does not spend much. He holds himself back to make sure everyone is safe. In this past year, he known he can grow stronger, but it frightens him to leave them alone, if he goes too far ahead himself.

'Why cannot I leave them… is because I always wanted a family… and why cannot I stop thinking about her… Mirajane…'

Zack sighed, seeing his problems just piling up: 'It seems, I still have a lot to learn huh.'

Zack went, as he caught up with Lisanna and Natsu.
