The Curse

A.N: I do not own Fairy Tail, even though I so wish I did. This is a Prequel to my other Fic, The Cure (Hence why its called The Curse) and it will explain why and who cursed our beloved Gray. Hopefully I can do as well with this as my other one! I hope you enjoy reading, and please remember to drop me a review so I know how you like it :)

A lone figure sat under a shade tree, watching a dark haired figure across the park. Soon, he would be hers. Soon he would love her, as much as she did him. Soon, his life would be over, and theirs would begin. Soon everything would be different, and she couldn't wait.

Tonight the storms would roll through, bringing with them the last ingredient she needed. Her ceremony would be complete, and the curse placed within the week. Her raven haired beauty would come crawling to her, and she would use her body to please him. Bring him back from the brink of death, so he would be forced to love her forever. Soon she would have happiness, and no one else would be able to take it.

Soon...

Gray sat at a table in the guild nursing one hell of a headache. He was beginning to think celebrating his last mission at the bar might not have been the best idea. However, the beautiful woman he had taken home with him had been spectacular. They had screwed all night, in every position imaginable, and he was actually sore for the first time in his life from sex. The loud shouts coming from his guild mates were really bringing his mood down. I really don't like this place sometimes he thought, cringing when Natsu slapped him hard on the back.

"Hey, lets fight!" Natsu said, giving him a lopsided grin. This might actually make me feel better Gray thought, getting up from his chair and following the pinkette outside. The last time they had fought inside, they ended up breaking a lot of stuff, so now they were banned from ever fighting inside the guild again. If they were ever caught doing it, there was a very high chance they would get thrown out permanently, and that was something neither of the boys wanted.

"Whats the matter fire breath, nothing better to do then lose today?" Gray taunted.

"Che. You wish ice block! You are so going down!" Natsu yelled, swinging on Gray as he stepped forward. Gray shifted his weight, moving slightly to the left before punching Natsu in the stomach, using his own weight against him. Natsu flipped, clutching his gut as he flew through the air. Landing on his feet, he turned just as Gray punched his shoulder. Natsu returned the hit, and they were rolling across the ground. After about ten minutes, both boys were winded and bruised.

"Nice fight ice for brains."

"Yeah, you to flame brain." Gray said, getting up felling much better. That fight was just what I needed he thought with a smile on his face as he walked back inside. He was even more sore, but in a good way. He always enjoyed his fights with Natsu, it was like having a brother. Not to mention they were great tests for the others magic. Now Gray felt like he needed more celebrating, so he took off for the bar yet again.

Gray entered the bar with Natsu and Lucy, a predatory swagger in his step as he searched for the beauty from the night before. Not finding her, he took a seat at the bar and ordered a round of shots for everyone. Throwing back a double of his own, he turned to Lucy and Natsu.

"So, when is the next mission?" he asked.

"Well, Erza said she wanted to go on one with the team as soon as she got back. I think that will be sometime tomorrow or the next day." replied Lucy.

"I wanna pick this time!" wined Natsu, "The last time Gray picked I felt like I was going to be frozen forever!" The three friends laughed good naturedly at his comment. The last mission they went on was to somewhere far up north. Gray had showed them how to dig down into the almost waist high snow to make a shelter. They had fished, with Natsu wondering how the fish even managed to swim in the sub zero water, and fought a small horde of dark wizards that was trying to form a guild in the mountains.

Gray rolled his eyes at Natsu, still searching the patrons for his beautiful lady, until he spotted an even more enchanting woman walking through the door. Nudging Natsu, he nonchalantly pointed in her direction, motioning for Natsu to sneak a peek. He laughed as Natsus eyes dilated, taking in her gorgeous body.

Suddenly, the woman looked right at Gray. He swallowed at the lust simmering in her eyes, throwing back another shot as he kept eye contact. She smiled brightly, motioning him over as she turned back to her own group of friends. Gray noticed she was with another woman, and a man, so he brought his group over to match up. He ordered another round of drinks, and struck up a conversation.

"Hi, I'm Gray, that bone head over there is Natsu, and this is Lucy," he said nodding to each in turn. The woman smiled, then motioned to her own friends.

"I'm Lexi, this is Natalia, and Nyk. It's a pleasure to meet all of you." Gray swallowed deeply at the predatory feel she gave off, relishing in the aura as they talked. Nyk and Lucy soon broke off to dance and Natsu took Natalia to a quiet corner. It looked like Natsu was currently trying to eat her face and Gray wondered how anyone could want to kiss the flame brain. He ordered him and Lexi another drink, scooting closer throughout the night.

"You have the most beautiful eyes Lexi." Gray said, staring into the deep orbs as she reached out to touch him.

"Why thank you Gray," she said with a girly giggle. "So you're a wizard?"

"Yeah. I'm with Fairy Tail. One of the best guilds out there, and I'm one of the top wizards." he said with a wink.

"Ooooo, not too full of yourself are you Shot Wizard?" she replied.

"Not at all," Gray said with a wink. The whole time they talked Lexi's hand had slowly inched it's way further up his thigh. Gray was becoming very distracted as her fingers circled their way to his belt. "Um, would you like to go back to my place?" he asked hesitantly.

"I have been waiting for you to ask that since I saw you across the room." she replied with a sultry wink, standing, she entwined their fingers and pulled him outside the bar. He pushed her against a building, kissing her roughly as he tilted her head back. She moaned into his mouth this is exactly what I want thought Lexi as he pulled her to his side and steered them towards his house.
