A/n: Gonna be honest, it's getting kinda hard to keep up with this story, I only have weekends to write now and even then, I can't spend all my time writing but I'm gonna try and carry on with weekly updates for as long as I possibly can.
Sunlight began streaming into the room through the thin curtains the next morning, rousing Y/n from what had been a fairly peaceful sleep. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked towards the clock hung on the wall, seeing that it was still quite early. The room seemed strangely fuzzy and she sat up in bed, squinting into the room which looked like it was full of fog.
dark letters caught her eye and she felt a spike of fear as she stared wide-eyed at the wall opposite the bed where she now sat bolt upright. Covering the previously plain white walls were dark glowing purple runes, the same unfamiliar symbols from the other notes.
She hadn't realised the choked out noise of fear that she had made which had awoken both Lucy an Erza who now looked over to her with concern clear in their faces. The H/c girl simply lifted her hand to point towards the writing, both other girls gazes following and seeing the writing, their eyes widening too.
"Is anyone hurt?" Erza asked, jumping out of bed and walking closer to the glowing text.
"No, I don't think so," Lucy checked over her arms and legs just in case and Y/n did the same, feeling horror clawing up her throat, feeling like acid in her stomach.
Erza turned to the H/c girl to see why she hadn't replied and immediately rushed over when she saw what Y/n was staring at.
On each wrist, a small line of purple runes ran, the symbols small but this time recognisable.
Lucy had also approached and had taken Y/n's other wrist, examining the writing.
"These are just normal runes? Right...?" Lucy asked, recognising a few of the symbols from watching Levy use her magic, as well as the few times she had seen Freed's runes.
"Yeah...but why...? Why are these normal and the other ones aren't?" Y/n mumbled
"Can you read what it says?" Erza asked and the H/c girl brought her wrist to eye level, starting to read the individual letters.
After a few moments, the H/c girl looked up in confusion, looking at the runes on the wall again.
"It sounds like some sort of protection spell but I'm not one hundred per cent sure, it just doesn't seem right. Why is this the only thing that is written normally?" She spoke and Erza's concern only grew as she suggested
"Maybe we should postpone the mission, something seems off about this,"
"No, no, I'll be okay, don't postpone it because of me. It doesn't seem to be anything harmful so I'm sure it can wait until the end of the mission to sort out?"
"Maybe we should ask Freed about it just in case?" Lucy suggested and Y/n immediately shook her head
"It's fine, honestly. The runes on my wrist are nothing harmful and the ones on the wall...They're..." Y/n's voice was full of confusion as she glanced back at the wall, scrambling up from where she sat to rush forwards towards the wall" They're...gone....."
She looked back at the other two mages, panic clear on her face as she glanced down at her wrists again.
The purple letters still glowed as they had done before however, the wall was completely blank. Even as the H/c girl ran her hand over where the text had been, there was nothing, not even a trace of what was once there.
