Chapter Twenty

Another update! Can I have a round of applause? BTW, I don't have a specific update schedule. I just update when I want to.

Another thing. I literally forgot about the story. I had to read my own book to remember. lol.

This update is a thanks for the 2k votes on TCQR and the 10k reads for ASCB. Again, thanks. Maybe I'll update more often. ;-)

The dream won't make sense, but that's how it's supposed to be.

Canissa's POV

"H-how can you be sure?" I asked. "I mean, she could be actually dead! Or she's with us, but invisible... like a ghost! Or-"

Haiki cut me off by grabbing my hand. His hand was warm which was rather unusual for a demon (a/n I was listening to Demons by Imagine Dragons when I wrote this, lol), but I couldn't focus on it. "What the hell, Haiki!" I all but screamed. I wanted to curl up and cry. I admit, I'm scared. Scared that when we get to Aluna Estars, that my sister won't be there.

He just merely glared and looked at me straight in the eye. "You listen to me, princess. One, I know that your sister's in Aluna Estars. Two, no negative talk. And three, shut the hell up." With that, Haiki gave me one last glare before stomping out of the ice cream shop.

I looked slightly dazed, but snapped out of it soon enough. "What the hell was that for? And what stuck up his ass?"

Rona shrugged. "He's bipolar?" She offered. She had a small hint of a smile, but it didn't grow.

I frowned. "Isn't anyone going to follow him?"

"Nah, my brother's... well, he prefers to be alone. And he gets mad over the tiniest things." Rona shrugged again. "He'll be fine." Well I certainly hope so.

Haiki always seems so easygoing that it's weird to see him mad. Rona looked at me and shrugged again. As if she could read my thought, she gave me a small smile. "Haiki doesn't usually get mad, but he hates negative attitude." She said.

"So," Silas said, intervening into Rona and I's 'conversation'. "What's the plan now?" I actually forgot that the others were here too.

Cania, my counterpart, thought for a moment. "I think," she said. "That we should talk about how to get on Aluna Estars without getting attacked by the stars.

I thought for a moment. Laxus would be able to help, but he's nowhere to me found. I'm kind of Angelic, but I have no clue and would rather not risk lives.

"We could use Hasani's Celestial Change," Silas offered.

Hasani, who was quiet up until now, shook her head. "I would rather not risk our lives. Though I have Celestial powers, that doesn't mean that I have Celestial heritage. Therefore, the stars won't accept me."

I sighed. We were getting nowhere with this. I closed my eyes, wanting to just rest for a while. But alas, I fell asleep...

Air, I needed air.

I was drowning.

I was going down.

I can swim, but why can't I move my legs or arms?

Why am I frozen?

Sister, Lucy, please come help me!

Zeref, Zinic, the Aluna Estars.

Where am I?

I felt my arms.

I could move again.

But, where am I?

I looked around. Black. Pitch darkness. Nothing but black.

Where was I?

Then, as if there was a light switch and it got turned on, light appeared. First, there was a star. Then more stars. Then, a whole constellation. I constellation I didn't recognize. A new constellation.

I didn't know a whole lot about stars, but I know enough to know that this is a new constellation.

The shape was intricate, and lovely. It looked somewhat like a huddling lady.

The constellation was bright, letting me see a bit of my surroundings, which wasn't much. Just more pitch darkness.

I looked down to see where I was standing.

I wasn't.

I was floating. Midair. In pitch darkness.

Was this another one of my crazy dreams? It doesn't seem like it.

Maybe I should pinch myself to see if this is just a dream.

I pinched myself.

Then, like a bubble, something popped.

My eyes shot open.

A/N These are so short because it's like the calm before the storm. While they're trying to figure out this mystery, things will happen. So these will be short. From what I see, this book will be the longest out of the three. It might come up to forty chapters so this is only half over. And they already have a few clues. But other than those clues, which only leads them to a dead end, they don't know anything.

For those who didn't think this chapter made sense, it wasn't supposed to. But it has a huge part in the story.

Constellation on the side. I didn't have time to get all artsy about it.

Until next time.

Love,
