I just remembered a chapter doesn't have to be long to be a good chapter!

Disclaimers: Sadly I don't own Fairy Tail. The awesome Hiro Mashima does! STANDARD DISCLAIMERS APPLIED!

"You'll kill them."

I could feel it.

"You'll kill each and every one of them."

The demons.

"You're friends."

They're slowly taking over.

"You're guild mates."

Slowly.

"I'll devour you nice and slow."

They're eating my existence.

"You won't even notice it."

It's eating me away, slowly and surely.

"I can't wait to hear their screams."

Its power is close to surpassing my own.

"Hear them cry for help."

It's taking a small part of me every single day.

"I'll kill each and every single one dear to you."

Dad really left me with a troublesome power.

"Gray?" A familiar voice asked. Opening my eyes I was met with the sun's rays obstructed by a familiar face. One that belonged to a very dear and close friend.

"And I'll start with this sweet little blonde."

"What is it, Lucy?" I asked. Openly admiring her beauty. I haven't told anyone that I actually liked the guild's sole celestial mage.

The blonde bombshell sat beside my laying form. "Are you okay?" She asked.

"Yes, why?" I countered.

She stared at me and then I could feel my heart beat start to pound faster. She does things to me.

"I just noticed that you've been avoiding us for quite some time now." She said, "I've been wondering if I could help you in any way."

I blinked and blinked and then blinked some more. I never knew that she was paying attention to me. I guess I always assumed that it was Natsu this and Natsu that since he was the one that actually brought her to the guild. I guess you really do learn new things every day. "Do you remember the first time we met when we were getting the guild back together?"

She nodded, her long golden hair up in her signature ponytail swayed in movement. "Yes, I do. What about it?"

"Do you remember about the black marks that appear on my body?" I asked, itching to run my hands through her hair.

"Yes." She answered, gaze not faltering. It was more on the side of questioning and curiosity.

"Aren't you afraid of it?" I asked, "Of me?"

She giggled. Like bubbly, sweet sound giggled. She sounds adorable. "Silly, why would I be afraid of you?"

"Well, there's a chance that I'm turning into a demon- it could take over my very existence without me even knowing."

She was quiet, absorbing the words that left my mouth. "Are you going to kill me?"

"No." I instantly answered, "Well, I hope I don't."

"Then no I'm not afraid of you." She smiled.

I stared at her, blinking and trying to wrap my head around her answer. "How can you say you're not afraid of me Lucy?"

"I don't know…" She scooted closer, blocking the sun's rays once again. "I guess I just trust you."

I searched her eyes, not minding our position. In fact, I actually liked it, my attraction towards her never ceased to amaze me.

"You know Lucy you shouldn't be leaning on guys like that," I warned, smirking at the confusion that crossed her features.

"Why not?" She asked innocence laced her voice. If she's trying to fool me by playing innocent it's not going to work. I've seen some of her books, there's no way she doesn't know what I'm talking about.

"Because wearing a tank top and short shorts doesn't really help guys wander away from certain thoughts," I explained, leaning on my elbows. Now our face was closer, our breaths mingled with each other.

She blushed a pretty red. My urge to pinch her cheeks were at the tips of my fingertips. "Lucy?" I asked.

"Yes?"

"Can I hug you?"

Her mouth opened and closed like a fish, but she just looked utterly irresistable. Without waiting for her answer, I pulled on her arm and embraced her body. She made that cute squeaky sound she always does whenever she's surprised. She didn't struggle nor move away from me, in fact, she even relaxed in my arms. Her head laid over my chest, just above my heart.

"Gray?" She asked after minutes of silence that passed between us.

"Yes, Lucy?"

"I'm not trying to be nosy or anything but…" I glanced down at her and saw her bite her lower lips. "Does it hurt?"

"The marks?" I asked. Feeling her nod I continued, "At first they did, but now not really. I don't even feel them anymore."

"Do you get nightmares?" She asked. I felt her start to draw circles on my arm.

"No," I answered. It's not like I get nightmares from the marks, but I do hear the demon inside me. "Where are these questions coming from Lucy?"

"I don't know…" She admitted, her voice soft like a child that was lost. "I think I'm just afraid of you guys leaving me again."

"Again?" I couldn't help but ask. Is she talking about the time-

"Yeah. I get nightmares about you guys leaving me." She looked up at me, our eyes meeting. "Like the time when the guild disbanded just when Natsu left with Happy… Then each and every one of you went their own ways while I stayed…"

"Lucy you know I-"

"I kept tabs on everyone," She admitted, cutting what I was trying to say. "I waited for the day that everything would be back to normal."

"Lucy," I whispered, hugging her tighter. "You're crying."

Her hand reached up to touch her face, "I'm scared of you guys leaving me again Gray."

I smiled at her, "That won't ever happen again." I whispered, wiping the tears that ran down her porcelain-like cheeks.

"But-"

"It won't happen, Lucy," I interrupted her, "I won't let you be all alone again."

She shut up and just stared into my eyes. It made me wonder if she could hear my heartbeat pounding in my chest.

"I- do you know that I hear these whispery voices inside me?" I asked, trying to keep her thoughts away from the bad things she's thinking of.

"Whispery voices?" She asked, looking lost. Utterly adorable.

I grinned, "Yeah, I guess it's the demon that wants to take over my body."

"I think I have whispery voices inside too."

"Too?" I asked, quirking an eyebrow at her. She nodded, a smile appearing on her kissable looking lips. Mind out of the gutter man.

"They keep telling me that this is all a dream that everyone will disappear, everyone will leave me."

My left hand started playing with the tie that kept her hair in a ponytail, "And? Do you believe it?"

She sighed, "Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't. I don't want to think anymore."

I tugged on her ribbon, freeing her long golden locks, "Well I want you to think of one thing."

"Think of what?" She asked, pouting that her hairstyle was now ruined. "And why did you have to untie my ribbon?"

"I like your hair better this way, makes it easier for my hand to run through it," I admitted, enjoying the way her cheeks flare up again. I guess Loki's attitude is rubbing on me. "I want you to think about me."

"Think about you?" She questioned, confused.

"Yeah, like how would you feel about me when I do this to you?"

"Do what-"

I cupped her cheek and then leaned down, cutting her supposed question. I watched her eyes go wide before they slowly closed and enjoyed the kiss I insinuated. Kissing her felt absolutely right and addicting. I never knew her lips could be so soft. I let myself get lost in them.

"You'll end up killing her, human. You'll watch her like a hawk, end up plotting ways on how to get her all alone. And then you'll murder her painfully slow and watch the light leave her eyes."
