Chapter 17: Dreams
~~~Last Time~~~
"NATSU!!!" *Erza running around the corner*
"SHOOOOOOOOP!" *starts running for life*
~~~This Time~~~
~~Jacks POV~~
So, let's see. I'm going under the fake name " Ace Clubs" and I'm going to be moved to a city called "City of Haven." Yea that just about sums it up, how screwed I am that is.
Seriously!! This solution doesn't solve MY problem! I NEED to get my family out of there! I can't leave them. The problem may be fixed in... what's her face's eyes, but not mine! I can't just leave my daughter in that devil's hands! I need to convince that girl to help me save my family. I don't care if I have to face that demon, Chara. I just need to make sure their safe.
I'll consult the cat at breakfast about my problem and see if I can change her mind. And hope that Chara hasn't killed my family yet. That is all I can do for now. I promise Fliora (Fli-or-a), I will save you.
I just barely get to sleep without the thought of my wife being killed. I drift off into a dream wondering what this sacred land has in store for me this time.
~~~Dream~~~
I was running, I don't know what from, or where to, I was just running. I seem to be in a forest of some sort, except it seemed more dead than a regular forest. It still had leaves, and was green. It just seemed like a filter had been put on the colors to make it seem more dark and dreary. Needles to say, I was scared.
There was a menacing cackle, followed by a blood curdling scream, then by some crying, then silence. My feet seamed to have a mind of there own, taking me to where the sounds once came from. Oh, how I wish they hadn't.
In front of me was a horrifying sight. Chara stood there with a bloody knife. Standing over the bodies of Fliora and, my daughter, Seaira(Sea-air-a). Seaira had fresh tears streaming down her face, and looked like she was morning over the loss of her mother. Fliora, on the other hand, looked like she was trying to protect her only child. Chara was standing there with a crazed look. One that can only be described as blood lust.
She turned her head over in my direction, with her red eyes staring into my soul. "You had your shot Jacks. And you blew it. NoW YoU mUsT bE pUnIsHeD!" Chara said, her voice getting all weird at the end.
She charged at me, her blade aiming at my heart. But she started to turn into a tree. As she is charging, moss started to grow an her, and her skin turned into wood. This "transformation" was finished, with her blade inches away from my heart.
I took this moment to regain myself, when a small glowing dot came out of nowhere and went close to my face. The dot seemed to give off that warm filter on Instagram. (No I don't have an Instagram account) I see Seaira chasing the firefly, with a smile on her face. Like she never even died.
I was shocked, surprised, you name it. My daughter, that was dead a few minutes ago, was chasing a firefly. UNBELIEVABLE. I wonder if Fliora is still alive too! If Seaira is still alive, there is a possibility!
Seaira runs around me, still chasing the lightning bug. And the bug still giving off the warm filter. Soon the entire forest is redid of the dark filter. The forest looks lush and lively, and the stars give just enough light to some-what illuminate the forest.
"Come on daddy! The show is about to start!" Seaira chirps at me with her little voice that I've missed so much.
"What show?" I mumble under my breath.
Soon, she drags me out of the forest and into a HUGE clearing. It overlooks a city below, and gives full view of the night sky above. Let me just say, it was a full night of stars.
I was enjoying the stares when a bunch of shooting stars come out of nowhere.
"The meteor shower has begun!" Fliora beamed.
I looked up at the beautiful sight, and sighed. This felt good. Being with my family and watching the stars. I wish this could never end.
Everything slowly fades out into nothingness, as I drift into a dreamless state for the rest of the night.
~~~(Y/N) POV~~~Jacks having the nightmare~~~
Something felt off to me. Something... disturbing. Something... unwanted. I realize that someone is having a nightmare.
"But how can you tell?" you might ask.
That is because I have an ancient magic called dream magic. I can tell if someone is having a nightmare/ good dream and I can modify the dream. I use it more when someone is having a nightmare because... I mean seriously, it's a bad dream. No one wants a bad dream, so I fix it.
I can tweak the dream in any way, shape, or form. My personal favorite, is an intro with a firefly and end with a meteor shower. Normally I'm the one chasing the firefly, but I'll also use one of the dreamer's family members.
I go out into the hall to look for who is having the nightmare. The nightmare-ish aura is coming from Jacks's/ Ace's room. I silently enter the room, seeing Jacks shifting and turning in bed. I slowly and silently move to his side. Now that I'm closer, I see that he is sweating.
I gently place my pointer finger on his forehead, and use the dream magic. I see the dream that Jacks is having at the moment. His wife and daughter are on the ground, presumably dead, and Chara is going at him.
I turn Chara into a tree and use my favorite dream. I have his daughter chase a firefly and the firefly gives off a warm vibe. His daughter takes him to the clearing that overlooks the City of Haven. Que meteor shower, and my job id done.
I wait for it to end and put jacks into a dreamless state. It's not something that I like to do, but given his rattled state, this will give him the most sleep for tonight.
I head back to my room and head to sleep.

"But Author-San, Author-San! How did Reader-Chan get dream magic?"
"That is because she learned it when she was in the lab. (The one mentioned in chapter 7 (I think)) Her brothers and sisters would have nightmares often, so she learned dream magic so that she could make her brothers and sisters happy."
And that is the answer to that question that was probably on all your guys's minds! And, yea I know I updated yesterday. I just felt like posting another chapter.
