Hey guys! Mystic Stars speaking! This is a short oneshot that I wrote a few months back. It was actually an essay question in a creative writing paper that I did for practice, although it was in a different language and I translated it to English so that I could translate it properly. I haven't updated my stories in a while, but I haven't forgotten about them or you guys! The next one I will post will be Warrior. Anyways, enough of my rambling. Enjoy this oneshot!

If I close my room door at night...
...I can hear the voices. If I turn off the lights in my room, it goes dark and I can see many things.
Strange things.
I see a hand. I see something flutter.
I turn my head, and I see something in the shadows. Occasionally, I hear a light and playful sound. Was that a giggle? Something runs behind me. I am standing in the middle of my room. Even though it's dark, I close my eyes, and take a breath. I'm not afraid.
I continue standing for a few more moments. Something lightly clasps my hand. My mind jumps, but my heart remains calm. The grip feel gentle. Cautious. Almost like a child's hand pulling gently on her mother's skirt, it wants my attention, but it doesn't want to frighten me. It gently tugs on my hand. I open my eyes, and look into vivid blue. It's as deep as the ocean, but it is as calm as a gentle breeze. I remind myself to breath.
Suddenly, blue isn't the only colour I see. Brown, yellow and red saturate my vision. I'm in a forest. The trees of the forest are influenced by the change of seasons from summer to autumn. My eyes meet cerulean once more. Blue eyes that are framed by dark hair and pale skin. She stretches out her hand and looks at me with kind eyes. With my mind in a haze, I take her outreached hand and I see white.
White bleeds into a spectrum of colours so quickly that I cannot pause to admire them. I hear the voices again. They're all saying different things too lively for me to comprehend. If I turn on the lights in my room, everything brigthens and I cannot see anything. Nothing except for white. Something holds me by my shoulders and pulls me back and my mind is one with my body once more in my room. I open my eyes...
...and I'm back in the dark.
"Oi Lucy! Are ya in?"
The blonde gasps softly as she opens her eyes. She lifts herself from her table, and quickly noticed her papers and pen underneath her arms.
"Lucy!"
"N-Natsu! I'm in my room!" She stutters, feeling frazzled. When did she fall asleep? And what was that dream? The pink-haired male jumps in through her open window, followed by Happy who zooms over his head. Lucy scowls. "When are you going to use my door for once? Geez." Natsu cackles but doesn't answer. The celestial mage just sighes. "Probably never, right?" She mutters to herself. Happy lands himself on Natsu's head. "What are you writing, Lucy?" The blonde looks at her papers, noticing the title written. If I close my room door at night.
She blinks before smiling a little. "Nothing much...just writing my feelings onto paper." The male duo look at each other before returning their gaze to Lucy. "Natsu, I think Lucy is being weird again." The blue cat says. Natsu nods lightly. "I agree Happy." The blonde raises an eyebrow exasperatedly. "Whatever guys. Let's just head to the guild." Natsu and Happy brighten immediately.
"Maybe we'll find a great mission!"
"I want to eat Mira's fire chicken before we leave!"
Lucy follows the pair before pausing to look back at her table. She stares at the papers for a moment before smiling and heading out, locking the door behind her. 'That's one way to interpret what will happen in my room in the dark.'
Thanks for reading!
