Natsu looked everywhere, but he couldn't find Gray. Or as you might know him, Acacia's father. Well, just keep looking!

He was the one that was supposed to be taking care of her. He was the one who supposed to have raised her till she was 13.

It had been 12 years, they hadn't seen that stripping raven anywhere. The guild was lost without their only ice mage to protect them.

Until Team Natsu had been captured and sent to a concentration camp for men and women over 20 years old.

That was when they saw him, during shooting time, like archery with a gun. He had hit the bullseye straight on 5 times in a row till he ran out of ammo. The gun was almost as tall as Lily in his combat form.

So now they were locked in a cell, altogether. Gray had really changed.

His hair, from so much sunlight, had turned a dark blue, yet almost as light as Jellal's, color and his eyes had turned 's hair was tied in a ponytail with a random weed, reaching his thighs

He took it down and shook his hands through, brushing out the massive tangles and dandruff clumps in his hair.

Lucy averted her eyes, clearing her throat quietly. Erza stared at him, tears running down her face.

"Why so quiet?" the raven asked smiling. It revealed white, straight teeth. They snapped their heads up to look at him.

"It's been 12 years, and you just say nothing? I mean, come on." His voice had changed so much. It was raspy and deep and masculine all at once.

His clothes. He wore a black tank top with black elbow gloves. He had on ripped skinny jeans. He couldn't wear shoes, so he had small cuts, scrapes, and scratches everywhere.

"Where were you?" Natsu whispered. "Huh?" "Where were you?!" he yelled again, alerting the inmates near them.

Gray's widened like a deer in headlights before telling the pinkette to shut up. The girls weren't watching them, too engrossed in their thoughts to notice.

"Natsu, I've been here. I never wanted to come here. But they took me and it's not my fault."

"Well, Gray...Who took you?"

The tears just started flowing.
