Chapter 10

It's driving me insane!

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or its characters, only my own OC's and ideas

Frea paced up and down inside the train station in Magnolia, it had been about a month since the battle of Fairy tail when Laxus had been kicked out. She ignored the curious stares she was getting from some of the nearby people. Her mind was elsewhere, the note... the mission she was supposed to remember... the man who was hired to kill her... K... K! Who the Hell is K?! These questions had been bothering her for the last month, it still hurt to even try to think about it but she had grown used to it.

Why cant I figure this out? She leaned up against a wall and slid to the floor, placing a hand against her head.

"It's driving me Insane!" She growled and gazed down at the floor. What was even more frustrating, her counterpart Shadow seemed to be feeding off of her negative feelings, and was trying to consume her. But I cant let that happen, I told Master Makarov I wouldn't let her... She took one of the pieces of hair bordering her face and glared down at the tips. They weren't silver anymore, they were a very dark grey. She let it slip through her fingers and closed her eyes tightly.

Damn it all!

"Hey Frea? Are you alright?" She opened her eyes and stared at Elfman who stood before her. Why is he here?

"Oh sure... just fine... What are you doing here?" She asked. He gave her a worried look and she closed her eyes,

"You don't sound so sure... I just got back from a job." He explained. She didn't bother to open her eyes back up.

"Come on." She opened her eyes to see his hand held out toward her. She thought it over before taking it and he helped her to her feet. "How about you tell me what's bothering you?" He asked and she sighed.

"Its this note I found back when Laxus started the fight during the Harvest Festival... It was addressed to me and it said this mission I was assigned was almost ready to be completed, I just need to remember what it is..." Frea started slowly, "The note was signed by someone named 'K'. The thing is I don't know what the mission is or know who K is! And after that a Mage for hire showed up and tried to kill me, said he was hired by someone named K..." Frea crossed her arms over her chest. "Its driving me insane, I just cant figure out what it all means or remember the mission I supposedly forgot..." She glanced back at Elfman to see his reaction, he looked deep in thought.

"Did you try asking the Master?" Elfman asked and she shook her head.

"No... Makarov's got more important things to worry about then some note that might just be a prank..." Frea muttered, though she highly doubted it was a prank. Elfman seemed to think the same but didn't say so,

"Well I wouldn't worry about it to much, your a strong Wizard, if anything comes for you I'm sure you'll be able to take care of yourself." Elfman reassured her and she nodded a little. "Are you waiting for someone?" Elfman asked and Frea nodded again.

"Yeah, I'm going on a mission with Lucy, Grey, Natsu, and Erza." Frea explained.

"Well, I have to head back to the Guild. Good Luck Frea." Elfman murmured as he headed away, Frea watched him go before turning away. Ok... relax... stop thinking about the note... you have a mission to focus on...

"Hey Frea!" Frea glanced over her shoulder to see the group she had been waiting for appear, Lucy was waving at her and smiling warmly. Frea gave her a small smile in return.

"Hey.." Frea said softly as they approached. She sighed in exasperation when she spotted the enormously large amount of luggage that Erza was carrying.

"You ready for the Job?" Lucy asked her excitedly and Frea nodded a little,

"Sure, its always nice to go on a job and take your mind off a few things.." Frea murmured, she followed behind the group as Erza lead them onto the train. Erza sat across from Grey and Lucy, while she knocked Natsu unconscious and let him lay in her lap and Frea sat in the seat across the small isle from Lucy. They didn't talk for most of the ride, Frea placed her elbow on the armrest and put her chin in her hand, closing her eyes.

What was this mission again...? Hmmm... Oh, right. Disband a rather amateur Dark Guild in the town... Doesn't sound hard...

'No... it sounds like a full meal...'Frea's eyes flew open and she glanced around to see if someone had been talking to her... No way... She couldn't be talking to me could she...?

'Why yes, its me, Shadow...' the voice hissed in her head and she shut her eyes again, her mind drifting off to an empty and open space, filled with dim light. Frea stood in front of a girl who looked almost exactly like her. Shadow had long black hair, blood red eyes and the same markings Frea had under her eyes, but in a black color. Shadow was wearing a snug short black dress and no shoes, she was smiling at Frea.

'What do you want?' Frea growled and Shadow chuckled softly.

'It's quite unfair you know... keeping me locked up, I'm starting to get hungry.'Shadow told her.

'It's the way it has to be, if I let you switch places with me, we're both dead.'Frea hissed, Shadow gave her a maniac smile.

'Oh, I had heard that the Magic Council set up rules... if you switch with either Winter or I, they will kill us...' Shadow murmured and laughed. 'I would like to see them try!'Shadow stopped laughing, they both turned to see another girl walk up to them. She had medium length pure white hair and icy blue eyes, the markings under her eyes were white. This was Winter, she wore a pair of white leggings and a white off the shoulder blouse, and white flat bottoms.

'You put to much trust in your power, Shadow, not even you could keep going for long, especially if Frea had already taken a lot of damage. Defeating the council would not be as easy as you believe..'Winter said softly and Shadow cast and angry glare at her.

'The same would go for you, damn coward...'Shadow hissed and Winter shook her head.

'It is not cowardice that I am showing, I simply do not wish to start a war with the council...'Winter murmured. Shadow was glaring and turned her fiery gaze on Frea.

'War with the council or not, you cant suppress my power forever, I will take you over...' Shadow snarled and she disappeared into a smoky haze. Frea let out a sigh and glanced over at Winter, who was still staring at the place where Shadow had disappeared. If she had to choose between the two of her persona's, Winter was the one she liked better.

'Winter...' Frea murmured and Winter's eyes gaze rested on her.

'You need to be aware, my power is growing weaker and Shadow's is growing stronger. She is right, you cant keep suppressing her for much longer...'Winter said, Frea lowered her eyes.

'I...I know... but would you happen to know anything about the note... or K?' Frea asked and Winter's calm expression remained.

'The note does seem to be bothering you... but I cant seem to recall any mission you may have forgotten...or any one that called themselves K...'Winter replied. Frea nodded,

'Alright...'She murmured and when she opened her eyes again she saw the floor of the train. This isn't good... I've only ever spoken to them in my head when something bad is about to happen...

But I'll hold on to myself as long as I can... Shadow... I will not let you consume me!

Sorry, this chapter may be a bit confusing, but the bold and italicized words are the dialogue that is taking part inside Frea's Head. Thanks for reading!
