Waiting For My Mate

Chapter 86

Laxus gritted his teeth as the ground moved so fast it was just flashes of different areas. The golden lightning travelled through the air, leaving a lingering echo of thunder as it flew over the grounds.

What was the situation? Did something go wrong? Was Freed alright? Laxus growled and did his best to raise his speed as he was heading towards Magnolia. He wasn't sure what was going on, he could only tell that everything was not alright. The lightning dragon slayer charged more power the more worried he got and it felt like he wasn't moving fast enough no matter what.

It felt like an eternity before he finally spotted the familiar town that had been his home his whole life. Laxus growled, bolted once more forward and could see the Guild House.

Crashing lightning shot down on the yard, shaking the whole building and burning the grass. He knew Freed was still here. He had to go inside immediately. But when Laxus took one step, the whole surroundings started to waver and he felt his step shaking.

"What the fuck?" he snarled dropping on his knees.

"We're truly sorry, Laxus. But we cannot let you enter just yet."

Laxus lifted his burning gaze and looked at the four demons that stood there perfectly still while everything else moved and changed colours.

"What's going on?" he asked narrowing his eyes.

"We won't attack you if you stay put", Umanor said as they were standing in front of the doors. "We don't want to hurt you but if that is necessary to make sure Freed will be alright, we will do it."

"You better get the fuck out of my way or you're gonna feel sorry", Laxus growled and the air crackled dangerously with the huge amount of electricity.

"We'll let you through in a second when we get the sign", Valdeghar assured. "But not a moment before that. You might be Freed's mate but we will stop even you if that is necessary."

"Where's Freed?!" Laxus roared his voice full of anger.

"There is no need to be worried, Porlyusica is taking care of him", Umanor assured and others nodded. "But you cannot enter, you might endanger everything. Calm yourself, Laxus. You only need to wait for a short while."

Laxus snarled and did his best to get up, but then it felt like the ground started moving in a very same manner as if he was on a boat. It made him immediately nauseous and he had to lean against his arms, trying to breathe and he felt cold sweat.

"Good job, Moranga", Umanor said and the tiny demon chuckled moving his hands that were covered with pink gloves. "This way we just might be able to keep him out without any fighting."

Laxus tried to breathe and stay calm. His instincts were screaming for him to go find Freed, but he couldn't even move his finger or concentrate enough to use his magic. He had no idea how much time passed as he was just trying to not throw up or lose his mind.

Suddenly everything returned back to normal and he almost collapsed when he didn't need to fight against the nausea anymore. He panted and lifted his gaze but all four demons had already disappeared. What the hell was going on here?

He didn't have time to think about that. He got up on his still shaky legs, stumbling ahead and finally grabbed the door handles. The doors opened with a loud bang as they hit the walls and Laxus looked around. There was no one in the Hall. Not that he cared, he just headed towards the stairs right away following where Freed's scent was.

The blond man stopped when he noticed Porlyusica standing in the hall.

"Everything is fine, you moron", she said bluntly. "Don't look like you're about to kill someone."
