My eyes snapped open and I sat up straight, breathing heavily. My body was covered completely in sweat. I took deep breaths to calm down my racing heart. I had the same dream- no nightmare again. Only it wasn't made up by my imagination. It actually did happen.

My room door snapped open and I saw a guy with dark brown hair and black eyes.

"What happened?! I heard you scream!" He asked. He was my elder brother, Derek. He's elder to me by 5 years. But before I could answer someone else yelled.

"Sis! Are you okay?! I heard your scream even in the garden." He shouted. He had silvery white hair and brown eyes. He was my younger brother, well adopted brother but whatever. His name is Charlie. He was younger to me by 4 years. I smiled.

"Don't worry. I'm fine. I just had the same nightmare again. No big deal." I said.

"No big deal?! How can it not be a big deal?! It's the third time you had the same nightmare again." Derek yelled.

"I know! But I want to fight it myself. So please." I pleaded. They looked at me worriedly and then sighed.

"Fine. Freshen up and come down for breakfast." Derek said and they both left. I sighed and went into my bathroom.

I looked at myself in the mirror. My face was covered in sweat and my hair a mess. I stripped down and started the shower. Warm water flowed down my body and I sighed in content.

I think I should introduce myself. My name is Lucy Heartfilia. I'm 16 years old and I have waist length blonde hair and chocolate brown eyes. I traced the scars on my body. These scars carry many memories. Bad memories.

I slowly opened my eyes. I found myself in a completely unknown place. I tried to get up but fell down. My wrists and my ankles were tied up with chains. Also I felt a bit weak. I squinted my eyes and saw few people gathered in a corner.

I moved a bit which caused the chains to make some noise. The people there realised that I was awake and came towards me.

"Hey are you hurt anywhere?" A guy who looked like he was in his late teens approached me. Being a little cautious of the unknown surroundings, I scooted backwards, avoiding him. I stared at him with slight fear.

He paused. Lowering himself a little, he smiled a bit while making eye contact.

"I'm Oliver Cromwell. It's nice to meet you." He said. My fear slowly started to disappear.

"I'm Lucy Heartfilia." I replied. "Where, where am I?" He sighed before answering.

"You are in the headquarters of the AAO a.k.a Anti Alice Organisation." He explained.

"What's AAO?" I asked.

"It's a place where people who have Alices are prisoned and are experimented on." He explained.

My eyebrows crinkled a bit, trying to understand him.

"What are....Alices? " I asked.

"You don't know what's an Alice?" He asked, surprised. I shook my head.

"It's a power which a person possesses. Like me. I have the Wood making Alice. And everyone over here has an Alice. " He explained.

"Does that mean I have an Alice too?" I asked.

"Well you must be having one or these people wouldn't have brought you here." He said.

"Do you remember how they found you? Or what was the last thing you remember?" He asked.

That made me remember everything. My mom.....She died...Right in front of my eyes. Tears streamed down my cheeks. Oliver panicked a bit.

"H - Hey what's wrong?" He asked.

"N - no … nothing....its just I...I saw my mom die right in front of my eyes." I said. I then felt someone hug me.

"Shh...its gonna be alright...you just have to stay strong and brave." A girl with short dirty blonde hair said. I remembered my mom's last words and I smiled softly.

"Hmm..." I mumbled.

Days went by, then months and even years. It had been 5 years since I was kidnapped.

"Move it, kid!" The guards who held me yelled.

"You know we just found out that this girl has another Alice!" One of the guards spoke.

"What?! Are you serious? It hasn't even been a week since we found out that she has 6 Alices and now this too! Damn!" The other guard said.

Yes that's right I have 7 Alices. I had just finished my tests today. Tests as in me being experimented on so that they can use me for their benefits in the future.

Suddenly, a loud sound of glass breaking was heard and people with masks on showed themselves. They wasted no time and captured most of the kids.

The guy in the middle who looked like he was about 17-18 years seemed to be the leader of the group.

He looked at me and his eyes widened. He had dark brown hair. He quickly punched the guards, who were holding me, in the guts and carried me in his arms and gave a signal to everyone and they all escaped. My eyelids became heavy and I fell asleep.

Normal POV

"Mistress!! The spies of Alice Academy broke in and stole the kids! Even the kid with the rare powers!" A guy said to the lady sitting in front of him.

She just smirked. "No need to worry. It's going just as planned." She said and started cackling loudly.
