Welcome to a new fic of mine! This is a story based OOC a creepypasta called "What is Dead". I reccomed looking it up if you want to see ho this story is going to work in general (I plan to go more in depth). Anyway enjoy the story and I hope to get constructive criticism!
It a cloudy day in the town of Magnolia. Church bells ringing near by and gloom all over the sky and people.
On this day a funeral was going on. A funeral for my husband, Grey Fullbuster.
I went up in front of his coffin when it was time to do my eulogy for him. "I am Juvia Fullbuster. Juvia has known Grey-sama ever since we where young. Juvia had always seen Grey as a cool, confident, and brave man. No matter what he wanted to do, he would do it, regardless of what anyone thought about it, like when he would strip all the time. Anyway, Juvia always remembers his talent of art, especially with ice sculptors. He would often say he only did it only to put bread on the table, but Juvia thinks he really liked it in secret." I said going though sweet nostalgia, that is until bitter memories came back too.
"However, Grey-sama, a few years ago got some sort of heart daisies. Doctors didn't know where it came from, but most implied it was just genetic and neither of us knew. Over these years, he had five heart-attacks. The first one was the most sudden and traumatic, happening after he came back from work. The second, third, and forth ones weren't as bad. They where still terrible to see him go though and just as scary, it just wasn't as saveirer. The last one... The last one is why he's in a coffin right now." I said as some tears started leaving my eyes. "The last one happened while we where asleep, it wasn't till morning till Juvia noticed he was dead. His body pale, no breathing, and the smell of rotting over him. That was yesterday, and Juvia is learning that I can't grief enuf for my beloved Grey-sama..."
After the speech I just couldn't talk anymore, I was just crying too much and walked away. I almost walked out of the funeral, but that would be like running from Grey-sama, and I couldn't do that.
I spent the rest of the day grieving at my home, I just couldn't do anything else. It didn't help that I had work the next day.
Spiking to the next day I woke up with a terrible start. I cried myself till I passed out to sleep and I woke up an hour late. I think I forgot to set the alarm on over thinking of Grey-sama. I moved around my home, getting ready slowly. It made me feel like I was now alone, no one to share and love anymore.
I got into my car and drove to work as quickly as possible, however there was a bit of traffic on the way there. It was like life was trying to make things worse for me.
Because of the traffic I was about two hours late. This made my boss get mad at me and had a long and angry talk with me. I understood why he was furious at me, but it was like I couldn't do anything about it. Now it's as if life is hating me because I don't have Grey-sama beside me in live anymore.
I work as a meteorologist at the local news station, Fairy Broadcast (FB). I'm good at it, always curious on how the sky would change so sudden and trying to figure out it's mysteries. However as a meteorologist for a local news station isn't much, but as Grey-sama said about his ice sculpting, it brings bread on the table... Ugh, I shouldn't think about Grey-sama now.
As I was working I heard a voice behind me "How about that whether?" the voice was deep and came out of know where, but I knew who it was.
I turned my chair around to see a tall man with long black hair and piercings all over his face. He wore a black suite, a black and red striped tie, and held some kind of coffee mug. "Oh, hello Gajeel-kun, what are you doing here?" I asked the man. I assumed it was lunch from how he wasn't at his work place. Gajeel worked with news related to sports, however he wouldn't be on TV because the boss thought the piercing and long hair would encourage punks somehow and looked unprofessional.
"I was just checkin' up on ya, knowing about what happened to Grey." He explained. After mentioning Grey he sorta looked like he felt a bit guilty talking about so soon.
"Oh, I see..." I said just feeling awkward about the subject of her husband's death.
"So how are you doing?" Gajeel asked again.
I was quite for a bit just feeling the awkwardness adding on to my bad day. A sigh left my mouth before answered "Just terrible, Gajeel-kun."
"Hared that Loke got on you for being late." Gajeel said trying to somewhat change the topic. It was hardly helpful as he might of thought it was.
"Um, yeah." I said sorta wanting him to leave right now. I turned around trying to get back to work. Unlike Gajeel I couldn't really afford to take a lunch break, unlike him.
"Loke, the bastard." Gajeel scuffed "Can't he just be reasonable. I mean your still girevig for Grey. Can't he just have a heart."
"Don't speak of like that, Juvia knows he's a good boss." I told Gajeel "He said that he understood Juvia is going though troubles, but it's no excuse for being two hours late." my voice got more soft as I tried to get back to work.
"Did you even get any sleep?" Gajeel asked, clearly not over 's supposed insensitivity .
"Yes... but not much." I said, although I couldn't drive myself to shoo him off.
"Juvia, you need to ask for a few days off. I think we can easily work around with the news without are weather-girl." Gajeel told me concerned.
"Gajeel..." I just couldn't deal with his reminders and distractions. I also couldn't just take a few days off. I mean what would I even do? Just grief for Grey-sama making things worse?
"I see." Gajeel took a sip of his mug and turned around "I'll check on ya later, Kay?" he asked waking off, probably going back to his work place.
I only sighed as I got back to my work. Maybe a few days off wouldn't be too bad... I'll just see if I really need it and talk to about it tomorrow.
Later that day I walked out of FB like a zombie. I was starving from hardly eating anything over the day, tired from little sleep and a long day of work. Worst thing is I know I was just going to enter home all alone.
I drove home and went into the house. Without Grey-sama it didn't even feel like home, just a building that I just so happen to sleep in.
I spent an hour or so just looking over old photos. I only stopped because it was too bitter for me to handle. I just couldn't stay in the house. Not for now, not when I have too many memories of Grey-sama.
I deiced to take a walk around town to try to get rid of my thoughts for a while. Maybe I would go to Gajeel-kun's house. Yeah, I might, take a few days off from work and just go to Gajeel-kun's place. Just to get away from my sorrows.
As I walked more around town it started to grow into night and rain quickly followed. I just had to leave my umbrella home... Oh well, guess I should just go to Gajeel-kun's now, don't want to caught a cold or anything.
While walking to Gajeel-kun's I felt a sudden chill as I passed an ally. After passing I just stopped, what could that be? Slowly I walked back to the ally, peaking my head around the ally coroner. The only thing that caught my eye where a pair of blood red eyes looking back at me.
"It's rude to stare at people, ma'am." A man with red eyes said. He just appeared next to the corner as if it where magic or something. The ominous man had blood red eyes and black hair. He only worse some sort of black and gold robe that looked like it should be in a history book.
"H-how did you...?" I was just a lost of words from the creepy man.
"You seem troubled, ma'am." He said not looking away from me with his soul pricing eyes.
"O-oh not really, I was just walking by and it started raining. I just thought I noticed there was a dry spot in there, but I was wrong. Now bye-bye mister." I said just wanting to get away from the creepy man.
"I know your creeped out with me, but please be honest with me, ma'am." The red-eyed man said just staring me down. What did he want with me? "Can you at least just tell me your name, ma'am?" he asked.
I was hesitant to do so, but I told him for some reason, I don't know why I did. "J-Juvia."
"Would you so happen to be Juvia Fullbuster... or do you now go by your maiden name?" he asked. I found it a bit creepy he knew of my husband was dead. At least that was what he was implying.
"I go by Fullbuster still..." I said not knowing what else to say to this man.
"Oh, well then , I am sorry for your lose." The red-eye man gave a bow to me before turning around.
"How do you know Juvia is a widow?" I asked, knowing this guy wasn't at the funeral.
"I read the Obituary, . Honestly I find it the saddest part of the news paper." he said walking off.
"Wait! How do you know we were married?" I asked, knowing for a fact neither I nor Grey-sama ever seen this man in our lives.
"I watch the news every now and then and I recognized the last name." The red-eyed man responded simply.
"Oh..." Now I just felt sorta stupid that I freaked out in front of some normal guy like that... No. No he isn't normal though. It's something with those eyes of his.
"Do you miss your husband, ?" the red-eyed man asked as he stopped walking.
"Yes, very much..." I answered. I had no idea where this guy was going on about this.
"How would you feel if you could have him back?" he asked me.
The moment he did the thought popped in my head. Live would be normal, my life wouldn't be in grief anymore! I didn't even have to think much about it, I immediately said "Yes I would!"
"What would you give for him?" The man asked "Would you be willing to pay a price either now or later of what you would do from your actions?" he asked
I was just too filled with joy to really think about it and blindly said "Yes!"
"I see..." The red-eyed man got out a book and tour out a page "Now take this and never see me again." he said as he gave me the page.
I quickly put in my pocket to keep it as dry as possible. "Who are you though?"
The man took a moment, as if he where thinking about what his name was "...Zeref, I am Zeref. Now, go, . If you see the devil once, shame on him. See him twice same on you. See him thrice shame on us both." Zeref said pushing me away and disappearing into the darkness and rain of the night.
I was confused on what he meant the devil, it was like he was implying he was the devil. It would make sense with those blood-red, soul pricing eyes and chills around him.
Soon I quickly tried to find somewhere dry so I could read that piece of paper Zeref gave me. I went a closed restaurant. It had one of those little curved shade spots by the windows.
Then I took out the page Zeref gave me. It was some-sort of wired voodoo thing on it about resurrecting the dead.
At first I thought that Zeref guy could of just been some sort of crazy guy... Although I do want Grey-sama. What could it hurt to at least try?
Reading more into the paper apparently all I had to do was to get Grey's body, make some wired sadist like circle, and chant some wired phrase. 'Soporem rediret, staim evigilabit ad me'. I had no idea what it was, but I think it was some kind of Laitan.
My only real concern was the odd circle, it made me feel like I was going to summon the devil with it. However it is all for Grey-sama, and it doesn't seem that hard anyway. I mean the hardest part would just be digging him up in the rain.
When I entered the graveyard, I honestly was expecting some kind of grounds keeper or someone around, but no. All that I could see was the ground and stones of the dead.
I walked though the graveyard slowly, cautious if anyone would see me. Although my first thing to do was get a shovel. I couldn't just go back to my place, not without Grey-sama. I can't go to Gajeel-kun, it would be too suspicious. Besides, I could find one somewhere around here.
Over my walk of the empty graveyard, I saw a shed. This should be for the grave diggers!
I got out of my wallet to get a paper clip. I only had one around me because Gajeel-kun thought me how to pick locks back when he lived more of a street life. I used it a lot to get into Grey-sama's house before we started dating.
It took me a bit to get it unlocked, due to lack of practice, but I got it open.
I walked in the shed, it was very dusty and filled with both shovels, crosses, stone, lanterns, dead flowers, just a lot of stuff for graves. I only picked up one shovel and eagerly ran out. I don't think I closed the door thought, but I could just get that done after I return the shovel.
I started running to find Grey-sama's grave. The ground felt very muddy and made a 'slush' sound when ever I took a step across the yard.
Soon I got to the grave and started digging as fast as possible. The ground was very wired to shovel from how muddy it was. It was like the shovel was sinking into the ground, instead of digging at first. The rain just made any dry ground I dough up all wet and muddy. It wasn't fun to dig out.
After what felt like hours of digging in muddy ground I got to the coffin. I opened it as fast as possible and took his corpse out of the pit of a grave. Then I used the shovel to make that devilish circle. I put Grey-sama in the middle, and I on the border of the circle.
Once on the circle I started the chant "Soporem rediret, staim evigilabit ad me!"
The first time I said it, obviously nothing happened. However the more and more I said it the more it felt like death was closer, it made me scared, but I keep chanting. It was all for Grey-sama.
By what felt like the hundredth time saying that odd phrase and strike of lighting crossed the sky, giving a mighty roar of thunder. I stopped right there as I felt the feeling of death faded.
The ritual felt like it was over so I just waited for Grey-sama to rise to life. I waited for a few minutes. A few minutes quickly turned into an hour before I knew it.
At this point tears just where leaking out of my eyes. I don't know if they where of anger for me doing something so stupid or of sadness because I actually thought it would work.
Seeing this had failed I picked up Grey-sama again, about to put him back into his grave until something happened.
I wasn't sure if it was just my imagination or not so I put him back on the circle to check. After checking my tears of frustration and sadness quickly turned into tears of happiness.
He was breathing!
