1 Chapter 1 / the vision

"Y/N! Y/N, wake up!"

"Lou?" I sat up just to fall back from the pain that shot through my head.

Guess the sleepless nights are finally coming back to haunt me.

I sighed turning to face the worried little person next to me. "What time is it?" I croaked while starting another attempt to sit up.

"4 o'clock in the morning. You were screaming and crying in your sleep again. Did you try drinking the tea I made you?"

I sighed trying to make my sleep deprived eyes focus on the white haired fairy. Her big heterochromia eyes glowed in the dark. A pink and a blue orb radiating exhaustion. "I'm sorry I woke you up again didn't I?"

Lou sighed and placed her tiny hand on my forehead. (size and general build like the fairies in the dress-rosa arc)

Normally I would now tease her about how tiny her hand looked against my forehead. But we were both far to tired to put up with such sh*t.

"Was it the same dream again?"

I nodded, my head buzzing with the pictures that were haunting me every night.

A little boy, an outcast, seemingly hated by the earth from the day he came to be. He was radiating loneliness, insecurity and a hunger to be loved. The scene switched to the same boy running around with two other kids his age. I could feel the joy and hope lying within this scene. Dreams were drawn out and planned and close bonds filling the child's void created. Then everything shattered. One boy disappeared leaving regret, sadness, fear and anger. A promise was made and led to the last scene. The boy now a fully grown man was lying in his childhood friends arms. A hole in his body. I could feel the hurricane of emotions hit me just thinking about it. The pain of loosing someone you loved, the void of a broken promise, the realization that you where loved and the regret of hurting those you loved. Then agony overwhelmed me and drowned me in pain until I woke up.

"What did I do to deserve this torture?"

I growled through my gritted teeth while massaging my acking head.

"Do you really think it's a dream?" Lou suddenly asked.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean you have had visions before, this might just be one. Maybe it's trying to tell you something?"

"Another vision Huh?" Dammit, Lou could be right. That would explain why none of our remedies have helped and why the emotions radiating from it are so strong. Oh no. Visions like this one are a pain. Does this mean I won't get to sleep until I have acted on it? ARG I hate this. I just want to sleeeeeep!

"Dammit, I think you might be right."

"Do you have any idea what it's trying to tell you?"

"Nope but I better figure it out soon. I haven't lived 364 years to be killed by sleep deprivation."

"You can do it y/N!"

"Lou, get me some coffee. I think we have layed low for long enough. Time for a new adventure!"

Writers note:

Hey, I hope you like the story so far. It's been stuck in my head for a while, so I thought I'll just write it out. English is not my first language so I apologize for any mistakes in my grammar. This is my first ever story so please give me feedback on how to improve.

Also this story started out as a Ace X Reader fanfiction, therefore it plays in the world of One Piece which is a story written by Eiichirō Oda.

Thank you and I'll see you hopefully in the next chapter.
