I really thank EternalBlaze5 for the amazing beta reading she has done! Also I would like to mention the perfection in another one of her stories, 'Spicing Things Up A Bit'. I personally enjoy reading it.

Let's continue with the story. Shall we?

Chapter two: The Power of Feelings!

Flashback

Juvia cowered back at his outburst.

Maybe...she should have listened to her first mind earlier...

Juvia cowered back at his sudden outburst. She was terribly shocked and the fear overwhelmed her. She spoke, once she could bring herself to make use of her vocal cords.

"G-Gray s-sama?" She stuttered, her voice full of worry for the ice mage.

"Don't you get it? Just get out of my sight!" Gray answered coldly.

Many questions swirled through the water mages head, but one question constantly nagged at her mind...

Why me?

She felt torn, hurt, and scared. She was scared of losing the man who had showed her a world without gloomy, rainy skies. Gray was the light in her dark world. He showed her what it meant to be happy, and live onward, looking forward to each day. As long as Gray was with her, she was sure she could always reach the sunlight, and blue skies. She didn't want to imagine how her life would be if she lost him, forever.

All giddiness left her features, as her look became stern.

The guild could feel the tension in the air, which was so thick that a butter knife could cut straight through it. The guild members had long since gone silent when the beautiful girl had approached Gray.

Looking at the sudden change in situations, each felt the urge to kill him, the one who'd hurt Juvia. For them, Juvia had always been a kind person who supported the guild in times of need. For them, she was a girl with incredible manners and they respected their dear friend greatly. The only reason they hadn't stood up for her yet was because Juvia was standing strong. She could handle this herself, and giving Gray a taste of his own medicine would only hurt the poor girl's feelings.

Juvia spoke, her voice cracking slightly, "G-Gray-sama, do you, deep down inside have any feelings for Juvia? Any at all?" Hope was clearly evident in her voice.

Gray glanced at her, his eyes glazed. "I've told you many times before, Juvia. Just get it through your thick skull already! I don't like you, and I never will!"

Juvia tried her best not to cry, as his words repeated over and over in her mind like a mantra. If he had wanted to break her heart, he succeeded, because he sufficiently shattered it to pieces.

Her chest hurt incredibly as she tried to piece her world back together. But what was a world without her dear Gray-sama?

She felt pain so intense, it hurt like never before. She couldn't stop the tears from running down her reddened cheeks anymore. She fell to her knees, her expression blank, the silent tears rolling down her face.

Time ticked by slowly, and as each second passed, you could hear the slight 'ticking' of the guild clock. Each member stood there, still too shocked and flabbergasted to utter a sound, or even attempt to help Juvia.

After nearly five minutes, Juvia stood up, and turned towards her guild mates, a saddened smile lining her features.

She blocked her tears from flowing anymore, and without uttering a word, went to the doors to leave.

Erza stopped her midway, her limbs and vocal cords finally deciding to work.

Sadness engulfed her voice,"Juvia don't take him seriously. He's drunk and upset. He's saying nonsense. It's only because—"

"Juvia knows. Erza-san," The bluenette spoke, cutting the scarlet-haired woman off.

"He's sad because he just found out about Ultear-san's death. She was someone who was like a big sister to him. But he isn't lying about his feelings, because drunk words are sober thoughts. Just let Juvia go. Let the water be still for a while, Erza-san."

Erza opened her mouth to protest, but hesitantly closed it realizing her efforts would be futile. Once Juvia had her mind set on something, she would carry it out, no matter what.

After the ordeal, Juvia left to head to the beach. There, she thought all night. She thought over any mistakes she might have committed, or anything she had done to make Gray so mad at her. She repeatedly rethought over and over on the events that had accured that day, trying to let it all sink in. The water mage didn't allow a single tear to spoil her face anymore, because believing it was almost impossible. She had lost her love forever.

Later the next morning at dawn, Erza was walking near the beach, and she jolted as she heard a scream pierce the skies. It was a scream filled with sorrow and hurt.

She turned towards the direction of the cry, and looked onwards towards the ocean.

A huge whirlpool ravaged the ocean's once calm, salty blue water. Huge waterspouts danced across the surface, tearing and ripping anything in its path. In the midst of this, was the heartbroken water mage. Her hair thrashed and flew around her face wildly as she hovered feet above the water's surface. Her outfit flapped wildly as the winds batted against it and picked up speed. Juvia's eyes were closed tightly as she focused all of her concentration on letting out the incredible power of feelings. The sorrow, and the hurt she once felt, was slowly disappearing.

Erza smiled sadly, knowing that soon they would be seeing...a new Juvia.

A small review won't hurt. Will it?
