Journey of a Light Mage - A Fairytail Fanfic

Chapter 88 - Dreams or Visions?

***Rachel's p.o.v***

The white space.

I was in the white space again.

Looking around frantically, I stopped when I saw her. The same old woman. The same old woman with her wrinkled face, lightly flowing dress and brown-greyed out hair.

She turned to me again with a smile as she spoke, "My little Lotus-"

I screamed.

I screamed shooting awake, shaking and gasping.

Freed and the rest of the Thunder Legion turned to me in surprise at the sudden scream.

That's right, we all came down here to the guild's library for some quiet when I fell asleep.

"Rachel?" Freed questioned, glancing at me.

My whole body was shaking, and I couldn't tell if it was from an oncoming panic attack or fear.

I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out, only the slightest sound of a pathetic sob as my body continued shaking.

Once tears started to fall down my cheeks, Freed lightly shooed the others away as he pulled me to his chest and started stroking my hair.

Once the others had left, Freed spoke, "Hey, shhh. Breathe, ok? Deep breaths. Remember what we practiced."

I laid against Freed as I breathed taking in a few calming breaths.

After a few more moments Freed spoke again, "Better?"

I nodded.

"Do you want to tell me what happened?" He asked.

"I- it was that dream again, with the w-woman, she s-she- s-she called me l-l-lotus," I uttered out shakily.

Freed tightened his grip around me, "This is the third time this dream has happened right?"

I nodded.

"And she didn't call you this before?" He questioned.

I shook my head.

"Well, it's ok now. It was only a dream so I'm sure it's fine," he spoke to me.

I sat up. "I'm not so sure anymore," I muttered.

"Rachel?" Freed questioned.

"I've had a lot of questions recently. I'm going to go somewhere to figure it out. I assume you and the others will go out on a mission?" I asked standing up.

Freed nodded.

"Then please be careful," I said kissing his cheek before I turned to leave.

Grabbing my hand, Freed stopped me.

"Rachel are you sure you're alright?" Freed asked me in concern.

I nodded, "Yes, thank you Freed, but I'm alright. I was just a little shaken, but I'm alright now, I promise."

Freed nodded, letting me go, "Alright be careful."

"I will," I told him before I left exiting the library.

"Rae? Are you alright?" Laxus asked as I exited the door, the others also staring at me in concern.

I nodded, "Yes, I'm alright. Just a little scare is all. I'm going to head out. Freed's downstairs waiting for you all," I told them.

They glanced at me for a second before they nodded.

"Alright Rae, take care," Laxus spoke.

"I will, and you too," I nodded to them before I left.
