A Warning or a Dream
Ashely's Dream
Ashely's eyes shot open and looked down, only to find out she was strapped to a chair. She wiggled and moved but nothing was working.
"Stop moving, Little one." Ashely's head snapped up at the mysterious voice. She looked right in front of her to see a screen with a person covered in black on it, their red eyes glowing brightly through the hood.
"Who the hell are you? Why am I here? LET ME GO!" Ashely shouted at the screen and scrunched her face. The person just smiled through the dark hood and laughed.
"Look, I am here to help you with your mate problems. I am also here to show you your future if you don't comply." Ashely just grunted and frowned. As much as she didn't want to do this, she basically had no choice.
The ground around Ashely's feet disappeared as she was released from the chair. Ashely slowly fell to the ground to find herself in front of a another black screen, only this time she wasn't strapped down to a chair. But when she tried to move her feet, she was unable to.
"Shit." Ashely muttered under her breath. As she looked up at the screen, her eyes widened in horror.
The screen had a giant blue serpent running rampage and destroying everything in it's way. Ashely felt a presence next to her and looked to see the person in black next to her. Her face then showed a mixture of realization and horror.
"I-Is that m-me!?" The person in black just nodded as an silent answer. Ashely just continued to watch the screen in absolute silence. The person in black waved their hand in a swiping motion towards the screen, making the room go to a normal white background. Ashely stood up straight and looked the person right in their shining red eyes.
"How do I stop this from happening?" The person just looked at her and laughed before disappearing again. "Hey! Wait you piece of shit! DAMMIT!" Ashely shouted into the air.
Soon the floor started to crack under her feet, falling into the unknown abyss. As the floor got to the piece she was at, Ashely just closed her eyes and let herself fall.
End of Ashely's dream
Ashely's eyes widened as she took in ragged breaths, a cold sweat surrounding her and drenching her bed. She sat up in her bed and held her head in her hands, contemplating what to do about her dream. After a few minutes Lucy walked in absolutely confused and worried for her friend, since she heard her moving throughout her sleep.
"Um Ashely, are you okay?" Ashely looked up, and nodded with a fake smile on her face. "I'm okay just had a bad dream." Lucy nodded and decided to put back her thoughts about what she may have been dreaming about.
"Okay then, how you get dressed so we can go to the guild for some breakfast." Ashely smiled at the invite and got up to walk to the bathroom to get ready.
After about twenty minutes Ashely was ready so they left for the guild. As soon as they entered through the guild's doors, Ashely ran towards the bar and ordered twelve pancakes along with some water. Lucy laughed as she walked over and ordered four pancakes with a milkshake. As they were both waiting for their food, Levy came to them with excitement written all over her face.
"Hey guys! We should have a girls sleepover to celebrate Ashely joining the guild and get to know her better!" Levy recommended.
"If it's alright with Ashely" Lucy said, looking for Ashely's approval, to which she nodded.
"Perfect! It's going to at Lucy's apartment!" Said Levy excitedly, with a sly smirk on her face.
"WAIT! When did I agree to this?!" Lucy questioned the fact it's going to be at HER-technically their- apartment.
"No take backs! Bye guys, see you later at 7!" Levy quickly walked away to sit at the same table Gajeel was at.
"Oh well, at least we can have some fun" Ashely attempted to try to cheer up her friend and convince her, even though she had no choice but to agree.
"I guess.." Lucy muttered under her breath as she pouted. Ashely just laughed as Lucy looked at her in confusion.
"You know, I have better hearing than Dragon slayers. It's just that my eyesight is a little bit worse." Lucy just nodded in understanding.
Soon their food came and Ashely smiled and started munch on her food like there was not tomorrow. As Lucy looked over to her friend she just laughed.
"I guess Dragon and Goddesses also have the same appetite." She chuckled as Ashely looked at her a nodded. After about 10 mins, 3 mins for Ashely, they finished eating and were now happily full.
"Hiya Luce!" Natsu greeted from behind her, scaring Ashely even thought she had better hearing. Lucy turned around and smiled at him with her cheeks flushed a light pink.
"Oh, hey Natsu"
"Well I'm going to leave you too love birds alone to talk" Ashely winked and walked away to meet more people she might have missed. As she walked away she saw Max trying to kiss his broom while dancing as Mira was quietly whispering 'Max X Broom forever'.
After a few minutes Ashely rushed back to Lucy since she forgot to tell her something.
"Lucy, Lucy i forgot to tell you we need to buy some stuff for the house. We only got things that I needed. Plus we need sleepover items." Lucy nodded and said goodbye to Natsu as they left the guild.
After about 4 hours they were finally done with shopping and were now walking home.
"Today was so fun but luckily it is just getting started!" Ashely shouted excitedly, almost making one of the 2 bags she was carrying fall. As they continued to round a corner they were met with two men leaning their backs on the wall. The girls looked at each other before non-verbally deciding to to walk past them. As they walked past one of the guys spoke up.
"Ooooo dude, check out these two beautiful women. Would you two like to… hang out with us for a little while?" The guys breath stretched across them, making Ashely's nose scrunch up in disgust, since it stank very much of Alcohol. As they were about to walk away, the other guy grabbed Ashely's arm.
"I suggest that you let go of my arm right now." Ashely stated but the guy just held her arm tighter. The air surrounding Ashely slowly got thinner as her face turned darker.
In just a few seconds Ashely put down her bags, grabbed the guys arm, twisted it and kicked him in the crotch, knocking him out. The other guy's face turned from a sly smirk into a frightened little girl. He was about to run until Ashely grabbed him from behind and held his arms behind his back.
"Okay Lucy, I want you to focus all your power into one of your keys and point it at this guy." Ashely told Lucy, the guy still trying to get out of Ashely's tight grip. Lucy did as she was told and pointed one of her keys at the man. As she took a deep breath a golden glow came from her key and shot towards the man, instantly knocking him out. Ashely smiled and tied the two guys together.
"Good job Lucy. Now let's go home so we can set up everything for the sleepover…. Soooo last one there is a rotten egg!" Ashely shouted as she picked up her fallen bag and started to run to the house. Lucy looked confused before realizing what Ashely meant. She then started to run after her friend.
"Wait Ashely! Wait up!"
