Chapter 19
Dreams...
"RUN!" I Screeched as I pushed my friends out of the way. A huge, I don't know what it was, was trying to hurt us. I had to use my magic in front of them, but it's like they never saw... how?
"Wake up!" A voice ran through my head. "You're going to be late!"
Sting was shaking my shoulder. I blinked. "Late?"
"It's 10:30."
"CRAP!" I rushed to the bathroom, and got dressed. "Shouldn't you be at your guild?"
His eyes widened. "You better go Sting, I don't want you in trouble."
He nodded, heading off as I went to the guild, sword and Night equipped. (XD Cat equipped)
As I entered the guild, I stayed tense. I hate Lucy. But I still acted happy and cheerful. "Hey Natsu, do you wanna go on a job?" I asked in a light voice.
She noticed, and growled. "Why don't all three of use go then?" She asked. Natsu was confused, but was on my side. "I'll go with Saki. After all.. she asked me first!"
I showed him the job. "It's to go take down bandits and burn their building down."
Lucy pulled Natsu to the side, and I gritted my teeth. "Lucy, why don't you go with Natsu, and I'll go on my own?"
She grinned at my frustration. "That sounds perfect." Without even taking a job, I left. Hearing footsteps behind me, I ran faster, tears attempting not to flow. Yet, some puddled over my wall of fear.
"Saki!" Two voices called my name. I ignored them as I kept running. I forgot all about my asthma problem, and blacked out when my feet hit sand and water.
**************
I coughed. "Why did you follow me?" Levy and Night looked down. "We were worried about you!" Night blurted. Levy nodded. "You've done nothing wrong!"
Laughing shakily, I responded. "That's not what you guys think. I guess I've done more wrong...."
"SAKI NORIKU! You've done nothing wrong!" A voice shouted inside my head and I flinched. 'Wait... my head... its... BLANC!" I cheered in my mind as I hugged her. (In her mind, where these events take place at the momento)
'Loudness level, please.' She responded. 'I thought you left!' I whined. She shook her head. 'Never. There is a reason why, but it is not known to you right now.'
Blanc flinched at her own words, and I frowned. "Hey, I don't get it. Why can't I...?" She silenced me. 'That would be something you cannot handle right now."
I walked forward, hugging her. "I thank you, White Goddess."
She was in shock. "Y... you are!"
"No, you are. You've protected me all this way... and has always been my support. Thank you." I smiled into her shoulder, tears falling onto her battle armour. She changed to her human form, and hugged me back.
I raised my head in front of Levy and Night, and smiled. They were utterly confused. "Let's go back." I said, standing up. They helped me up, an I looked at Levy. "What's today?" She looked at her watch.
"December 10th."
"Christmas is coming... how about we go and get gifts for everyone?"
They both nodded happily, and we raced away towards the city of Magnolia.
After many shopping trips, we had a lot of bags. And they were heavy. I had went to a lot of shops, buying things for the dragon slayers. Levy had gotten things for numerous guild members, namely Gajeel. Night was carrying a small bag of her own, but I didn't know who it was for.
We went our separate ways, waving our goodbyes. I flew up to my house, and settled down with a knife, wrapping paper, and my gifts.
Midway through wrapping, I cursed as blood seeped out of my hand. "Stupid knife."
'Do you even know how to use one?'
"OH SHUT UP!"
I wrapped a paper towel around the palm of my hand, I continued wrapping until I was done.
"Hey... I just thought about something. You can't protect me forever, Blanc."
'I know... but there are things you don't know.'
"Such as?"
'I can't say.'
I sighed as I wrapped the last present, and lay my head on the table.
"Finally!"
A soft thump was heard on the deck, and I immediately turned to see Sting.
"Hey." I laughed.
He walked inside, hugging me. "Hey."
Sting looked at the bloody paper towel in my hand. "Who'd you kill?" He joked. "My hand. I'll be fine. But more importantly, did you do everything you had to in your guild?"
He grimaced. "Yes. They put barriers around the office and nailed the door shut."
"Sounds brutal."
We laughed together. "So why did you come here anyway?"
He smirked. "Are you saying I don't have the right to see my girlfriend?"
"No." I threw a tablecloth over the presents. "Bloody knife... I can throw it but not use it."
"SO THAT'S HOW YOU CUT YOURSELF!" He shouted in conclusion. I giggled. "Dummy."
The rest of night went on with food, and I eventually went to bed. I got all comfy and turned the lights out when Sting layed at the foot of the bed by my feet.
Smiling, I drifted off to sleep.
