'Hey guys, let's play with an ouija board. That'll be cool, right?'
"Hell no" was going to be Gray's initial response, but that thought ended up being lost between other thoughts of being too harsh, since it was Levy who asked in the first place. Gray could admit he was cold, but he was cold towards everyone. Not just specifically singled out people. Well, besides Juvia maybe.
So he ends up saying yes.
Worst mistake he's ever made, he thinks.
He's currently sitting in the middle of his living room floor, watching with a scowl as Lyon sets up the board and candles. He senses Gray's glare, so he glares back, clicking his tongue in annoyance.
"You got something to say?"
Gray crosses his arms and narrows his eyes, sighing a tad bit louder than necessary.
"I have a few things to say, actually. Why are you even here? The plan was for me, Levy, and Lucy-"
"Shut the fuck up. I invited myself because I wanted to see your face when you practically shit your pants from seeing a ghost. Think of this as family bonding."
"Family bonding my ass" Gray mumbles under his breath. He rolls his eyes and decides to leave it at that, knowing that Lyon is stubborn and immature and was very unlikely to drop a simple argument if they ever got into one. He looked over to Levy, who was nose-deep into a book that was heavily based on supernatural rituals. His throat went dry and his head started throbbing when thinking about the possibility of them actually calling forth a ghost or something related to it.
He was just about to change his mind, tell everyone to get the fuck out of his house, until he heard Lucy call him over to begin.
He slowly moved over to his spot in between Lyon and Levy and gave everyone a worried glance.
"Are you ready, Gray?'
"Hell no" is what he was thinking about saying again, but he didn't want to give Lyon the satisfaction of him being scared, so he grunted "sure" and placed his fingers on the triangle, sinking back when hearing Lyon's ghostly tone of voice from next to him.
"Is there anyone here with us right now?"
The triangle starts sliding across the board, to the corner where it says 'YES.'
Lucy gave an excited giggle and Gray fought with everything in his being to not roll his eyes. He wasn't impressed.
Lyon kept going.
"Do you have a name?'
The triangle circled around the word'YES.'
"What is your name?"
The triangle starts moving slowly towards the letters, and Lucy gets a nervous look on her face. Gray isn't going to ask the stereotypical question, so Lucy does it instead.
"Are you guys pushing the triangle?"
Lyon looks up and raises an eyebrow.
"Are you pushing the triangle?"
Lucy shrugs her shoulders.
"Hey, someone had to ask sooner or later."
Everyone stopped talking when the triangle stopped on the board. They waited a few moments, and the triangle suddenly started flying over the letters, spelling out a name. Gray couldn't catch all the letters, since the thing was moving so fast, but Levy manages to understand it. She tells them that the name spelled out was 'Salamander.'
"So. we've been talking to a lizard?" Gray asked bemusedly.
No one answered. The board started to move, and a sudden gust of wind blew the candles out.
Levy gave a surprised yelp and Lucy sat closer to her.
"Were done here." Gray says, folding the board.
"Gray! We need to say goodbye first-"
"Fuck this shit" is all Gray says before throwing the board out of his window and slamming it shut.
He turns back towards everyone and points to his door. "Get out."
Gray only gets a few hours sleep before waking up with a hard on that night. It has been a while since he last rubbed one out, so he decided to take care of that and watched some television.
About 30 minutes had passed from him watching tv, and Gray hears a noise. It's dark in his apartment, and the only light there is was from the tv screen. He grabs his remote, the only thing he could see, and tried to find what the noise was. He doesn't see anything of course, but he hears shuffling in the kitchen area.
"Who the fuck is in here?"
As expected, there was no answer. The tv turned off, and Gray was left in the darkness with whatever the fuck was making noises. He stands still, not knowing what to do or what it is in his house, until he hears footsteps. He bolts from his standing position, to the living room area. He runs into the couch and scrambles over it and ducks down. Gray is genuinely scared now, his mind was racing, but he didn't know what to do.He decides to count to five, and stands up swinging the remote around with a loud ass yell in hopes to scare whoever was in his house.
But as soon as he starts yelling, he gets knocked down, and feels a hand covering his mouth. He closes his eyes, and fights.He starts punching and kicking, but to no avail. Gray opened his eyes, and immediately froze in fear. A set of glowing red eyes were staring down at him. He feels claws digging into his wrist, but he doesn't move, just keeps looking into the eyes above him.
A few moments passed, and Gray's brain kicked out of the flatline and regained its power to think. Gray began flailing again, kicking his legs with renewed vigor and bit down on the hand covering his mouth. The guy-or whatever the thing was - pulled back with a growl, and Gray took the opportunity to pick up the remote that was left lying on the floor. He threw it dead in the center of the intruder's forehead and scrambled to get up.
He didn't, however.
He felt himself get thrown back to the ground, and got pinned down from behind. The claws were back in his wrist, and Gray heard the thing talk.
"Is that how you treat your guests, you rude ass human?!"
Gray's eyes widens and he screams.
