Welp.
I suck. Let's move on to the story shall we?
Chapter 3
Lucy's POV
I sighed, deep in thought, my head resting on my hands as the chatting of the guild continued around me. It seemed too calm lately, especially after I had seen Edolas Lisanna on that train ride back from the mission. My eyes wandered over to the bar, where Lisanna and Mira stood. Mira had been absolutely ecstatic when Lisanna came to us, she even burst into tears, though, this all happened after we established more of the...serious...matters.
As I stared at the two siblings, I thought back to Fairy Tail and how Mira told me she couldn't leave her sister again, and was choosing to leave for Fairy Tail once Lisanna and I talked over the issue about Edo Lisanna. I removed my hands from under my chin and let my head fall to the table with a degrading moan, which caused the two chatting team mates of mine next to me to look over in confusion.
"Lu? Are you ok?" Celeste asked with worry in her tone.
"Yeah, peachy." I replied, not bothering to look at her, let alone lift my head.
"Seriously Lucy? We can kind of tell when something's wrong by now." Jay spoke up from his seat next to Celeste.
I turned my head towards them, slowly...ever so slowly, and when I finally faced them, they both had deadpan looks.
"I'm just over thinking, and I'm bored." I replied, finally.
Celeste cocked an eyebrow. "Aren't you like, twenty-five? Can you get bored?"
I moaned. "Don't bring up my age!"
Celeste laughed. "Yeah, yeah." Celeste's mocking tones faded away as her mood changed to excited. "Hey Lu! Why don't we go see what the others are up to?"
"What do you mean?" I asked, suddenly interested as I raised my head up from the table.
"Well, it occurred to me a while ago that, though you've been in the guild for a while, you really don't know how your friends live their lives!" Celeste replied.
"Hmm..."
"I'm just gonna...you know...leave." Jay said, and like that, he was gone.
"C'mon Lu!" Celeste pleaded.
I sighed and gave in, though, not even before we stood from the table, Holly was behind Celeste, who visibly got chills. Soon enough, Liam was right behind Holly.
"If you're showing Lucy our lifestyles, you can show her the chores you haven't done in a month." Holly said. Sickeningly sweet...hmmm...wonder how Celeste will get out of this one?
"Yeah...about that...STILL WON'T DO THEM!" Celeste yelled, laughing as she grabbed my wrist and ran out of the building, me in tow and Holly yelling after her.
Celeste and I sat on a bench in the town of Magnolia, panting as we had finally stopped running.
"Why did we run for so long again?" I asked, out of breath.
"Holly isn't easily evaded..." Celeste replied, running her hand through her golden hair, pushing it back.
I gave a small laugh, then stood from the bench, stretching, and nodded to Celeste when she got up and did the same. "So, where are we going first?"
"Hmm..How about...Miku and Mina's place?" Celeste replied, a finger on her chin as she debated the nearby houses.
"Sounds good!"
The walk wasn't long, but I guess it wasn't short either. The house I stood in front of was small, and had a white exterior paint with little splotches of blue and dark blue like the twins wanted to repaint, but couldn't agree on a color. We walked up to the door and knocked and soon enough, Mina answered the door, giving us a surprised look.
"Oh! Hey Lucy! Celeste! We didn't know you were coming.." Mina stated.
"Ah, yeah...that's because.." I started.
"Because we were in a hurry." Celeste finished, and I nodded.
"Well, come on in!" Mina said, gesturing with her hand for us to enter her home.
Celeste waltzed right in, but I took more cautious steps, I'd never been to Miku's and Mina's house before, what did you expect? We spent the next hour or so talking, until I finally brought up the absence of the bubbly light blue haired teen.
"Oh.. Miku? I forced her to get some sleep.. she's been having night terrors lately.." Mina replied.
"Night Terrors?" Celeste inquired, though from the hint in her voice, she wasn't really talking to either of us.
I just sighed then stood up from the couch I was sitting on and looked towards Celeste, who stood up in turn. We said our farewells and thank yous to Mina and went on our way to the next home.
I was beginning to get worried, we visited three more houses after the twins'. Aoza's, Melody's and even Celeste's own house, and in each house, someone was having night terrors, for example, Aka at Aoza's, Melody herself and even Liam. The night Terrors aren't remembered, but they're enough to keep the victims from sleeping properly.
I had been debating what the cause for this newly discovered problem was for about three days until Aoza came up to me, a mission flyer in hand.
"Hey Lucy, I found this on the board." Aoza was oddly serious.
Confusion flickered in my eyes until I took the flyer from Aoza's hand. The flyer was based on Night Terrors... My eyes widened as the flyer mentioned a new dark guild consisting of four people that had moved into their town. They believed that the dark guild was causing the Night Terrors, as even their name implied the source : Dreadful Dreams.
"Should we take this job?" Aoza spoke up next to me.
I looked to her and nodded. "Go get Celeste and Jay, we leave now."
And we did. Now we were on the train heading to the town of Ranosik. We were all eerily silent and no one was making an effort to break the silence, not even Jay who would normally be the one to throw in something dumb about now, but, we all knew just how serious this mission was. By the time we reached Ranosik, we knew something was wrong, especially by the way the dark aura hung over the town.
As we entered the town, a you girl around seventeen years ran up to us. She wore a fancy looking dress with her hair in a beautiful bun with crystalline blue eyes that were stricken with fear and hope.
"You're the wizards from Intertwining Realms right? Right?" She asked hastily.
"That'd be us." Aoza said.
"Thank God, my name is Rosa, the daughter of the mayor here. My father has fallen terribly ill from the fear of the Night Terrors, it seems they also gradually damage your health.." Rosa spoke quickly.
I heard Celeste suck in a deep breath and I spared her a glance, noticing her wide-eyed look. "Then what about Liam..?" She muttered.
I turned my head back to Rosa and saw just how frantic she really was. "How much do you know of Dreadful Dreams Rosa?"
Her head snapped in my direction. "Well, there's four members.. they're a dark guild... and they're quite powerful."
"Okay.. but do you know anything about the members?" Jay asked, stuffing his hands into his pockets.
"I-I don't... but! My father told me of a dream he remembered... he saw a silver haired girl, and three men behind her, and she seemed to be singing as one of the men waved a baton behind her that seemed to emanate a bad aura."
"A silver haired girl..." Celeste mumbled, a finger on her chin and eyes narrowed in thought. "It couldn't be..."
"Lisanna." Aoza spat.
"Edolas most likely." Jay added.
I turned my head to the clouded sky above, my eyes narrowed in thought, frustration, confusion and anger. What are you up to Lisanna. And how do you plan to carry out your revenge?
