Ancient Words Unspoken

11 ? Freedom And New Danger

"I can try," Y/n spoke quietly, her eyes closing slightly.

She wasn't sure how long passed before she slipped into sleep but she was sure that whatever this dream was, it couldn't be any good.

For once it wasn't dark, but the brightness somehow made it look even eerier than usual. It seemed almost hospital like. The walls were plain white, the floor, white tile, and rows upon rows of lights running across the length of the room. There was a figure standing in one corner of the room however if seemed incredibly far away and as Y/n began running, she didn't seem to get any closer. She called out for the person however it did nothing, and so she carried on running, hoping to finally get somewhere only, it never happened. Giving up seemed to be the only option and so, she collapsed to her knees, almost immediately feeling a gust of wind rush past her before hands ran through her hair.
"Y/n, oh my pretty Y/n. Why did you run? You should have always known that I would find you. I will get you back, my precious Y/n," the hands were now holding her shoulders, the voice close enough to her ear for her to feel breath brushing against her ear.
"Oh? And look who we have here," the voice spoke and Y/n's eyes opened against her will.
Fingers grasped her face and turned her head to see what it was talking about, causing pure fear to well in her chest.
The long pale fingers of her father were wrapped in long green hair and she had to force herself to check whether it was true. Horror was the only thing she could feel as she saw Freed's face, pale and deathly.
A scream escaped her mouth and she launched herself at the man. Pure fury filled her veins, she didn't care what happened, she just had to get revenge. How could this happen? How did he find her? How did he find out about Freed? How...?

The dream began fading into nothingness as she felt a hand on her shoulder shaking her slightly, a voice calling her name.
"...Y/n...wake up..Y/n..."
She registered it as Evergreens voice and snapped awake with a gasp, desperately trying to catch her breath.
"Whoah, what happened? Are you alright?" The brunette asked once she realised Y/n was fully awake.
"N..nothing...nothing, just another stupid nightmare..." The H/c girl mumbled and shook her head before glancing around her. "What time is it?" She added
"Almost eight o clock, you've been asleep all day, we didn't want to wake you but you were shouting and seemed distressed," Evergreen asked and Y/n looked away.
"I...I'm sorry...I think I should be going home..." The H/c girl spoke and moved to stand up. A hand on her wrist stopped her temporarily.
"Be careful baby, Freed would never forgive us if anything happened to you," Bixslow spoke before Evergreen added
"We can go with you if you'd like, to make sure you're safe,"
The H/c girl shook her head and gave a small smile as she responded.
"I think I need a moment alone, I'll be safe I promise,"
The two agreed reluctantly and Y/n headed for the exit, feeling her hands shaking slightly from the adrenaline caused by her nightmare.
It was just a dream.
She was going to be fine.
Nothing was going to happen.
She struggled to believe this herself however, she had to try as she started walking.

Freed had reached the town at around nine o clock. He could see through the wall and saw the utter chaos that was going on inside the town. There seemed to be a large group of people in what looked like the town centre and there were children running around scared, hiding anywhere they could, parents crying and screaming that they had lost their child, it even looked like a couple of buildings were on fire. He took out his sword before spotting a small child staring back at him, their eyes filled with obvious fear.

"I'm going to help you, okay. I promise, I'm not from that dark guild," He tried to reassure, kneeling down slightly to be at the same height as the child "I'm from a guild called Fairy Tail," He showed the small child his guild mark before standing up again and lifting his sword to begin undoing the runes.
