Journey of a Light Mage - A Fairytail Fanfic

Chapter 77 - Severed

***Third-person p.o.v***

"Have we checked this area?" Rachel questioned leaning over a map of Fiore.

"Yeah, and we didn't find any sign of them there either," Levy answered.

"Any word from the other guilds?" Rachel asked.

"Nothing yet, but they're keeping an eye out for any abnormal activity," Lucy answered.

"It's not good enough," Rachel growled standing up and proceeding to pace around the room impatiently.

'Prism could've shown me where she was with sight sharing, so since she hasn't yet that means they're blocking her magic somehow. Hang on Prism, I promise I'll get you back,' Rachel thought as she clenched her fist.

"Can't you find Prism like how she found you?" Cana asked.

"No. That was Prism's spell not mine," Rachel stated.

"Rachel maybe you should rest a bit. You're exhausted," Juvia tried.

"At least eat something," Mira begged.

"I'm not hungry and I won't rest, not until Prism is safe. I'm fine," Rachel glared back.

Juvia and Mira saddened a bit before they let it be, leaving her to it.

The guild watched her in worry as Rachel continued to pace restlessly around.

"She's going to keel over at this rate," Evergreen muttered worriedly.

"Can't you guys do something? Make her rest and eat?" Bickslow questioned to Laxus and Freed.

"We have been. She's eating enough not to pass out so far, but that's it. We can barely get her to eat as it is and as for sleep..." Laxus trailed off as he glanced at Rachel with worry etched over his features.

"She can't really sleep now even if she tried. Even if she wasn't worried as it is, she can feel Prism's emotions. So she wouldn't be getting any sleep anyways," Freed finished.

"She's not the same," Evergreen muttered.

"Rachel's never been this harsh with the people she cares about, not even on the worst of days and she would never snap at you Freed," Evergreen muttered sadly.

Freed glanced at Rachel as he thought back to last night.

"Rachel please! You need to eat and rest, you're going to destroy yourself," Freed begged.

"I'm fine," Rachel responded.

"No, you're not. You're not going to have any strength if you keep this up. Please, if Prism was here-"

"WELL SHE'S NOT!" Rachel yelled.

Freed stopped with widened eyes.

Rachel widened her eyes.

"Sorry. I'm sorry Freed," Rachel muttered turning away.

Freed sighed. "It's ok, I know you're worried. We all are, but you're not going to have the strength to save her if you keep this up. Please Rachel," Freed begged.

Rachel sighed, "Fine."

"It's been three days since Prism was taken. She's been drowning in worry so you can't blame her," Freed explained.

"I hope we find Prism soon. I'm worried about her too," Bickslow muttered.

"We all are," Laxus muttered.

"We got a lead!" Lisanna shouted running into the guild with her brother.

The guild, especially Rachel perked up at that.

"People matching our description were spotted by a cliffside just outside of Barian Forest!" Elfman explained.

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

'Finally! Don't worry Prism I'm-'

Thump thump.

"Perfect! Let's go out there and get Prism back!" Natsu yelled.

Cough!

The guild froze as they turned towards the ugly sound.

My hand was over my mouth, eyes widened in shock as blood seeped through my hand.

My body collapsed to the floor as the guild cried out in fear.

Freed caught me before I hit the floor as I was racked with coughs as I continued to cough up blood.

"Jet! Get Porlyusica!" Gray yelled as Jet ran for help.

Freed stared down at me worriedly as my body throbbed in extreme pain as I continued to cough up blood.

"No..." Bickslow muttered as everyone turned their gaze to him.

Bickslow lifted his mask as he stared down at me.

"He severed it... He severed their soul connection," Bickslow muttered fearfully.

The guild froze in shock and fear.

Freed gripped me tightly against him as I started to black out from the pain.

"Please Rachel, hang in there," I heard before everything faded to black.
