Hello again~! I'm so glad the story is doing well, I honestly didn't think I'd have this many follower and readers so soon. It's only been 2 chapters after all. Anyways,important thing to note about this story: There will be quite a few chapters in italics, meaning they aren't happening in current time. So it'll be a while before the other characters come in. Please review! If you have any suggestions, let me know.
I don't own Fairy Tail, anything referenced, any songs used.
Gray-chan's hair was so fun to play with. His bang almost reached the tip of his nose, most of it was brushed to the side though. She liked it that way, it was cute. He was still lying on his side, but his head was now in her lap. He'd been asleep for quite a while now, she often wondered what he was dreaming about. She would've loved for him to stay like this, but she also wanted to talk to him. She wanted to hear his voice more.
She already heard it often since he talked in his sleep. The words were incoherent for the most part, so she heard every fourth word. He suddenly shifted, moving his arm from next to his head to next to his abdomen. She took his hand in hers, smiling down at him.

She dropped his hand the second his magic power zapped her. 'He may not resist me, but his soul still repels me ?!' she thought angrily. This happened often. She'd make a move for him, his soul would repel against her, brief pain, then frustration. 'It's not Gray-chan's fault, it their fault'. The peoples' spirits who guard his soul; Ul, Ultear, Juvia and Silver. She could control his mind all she wanted, but they made it impossible for her will to invade his soul. She slowly leaned down, her focus on his sleeping face. She put her forehead to his, ignoring the pain.
Astrid hated the way that witch touched her friend. Caressing his face, kissing him. It made her sick.
At the moment she was glad Roseia was distracted. She was currently reconstructing the link between her and the book (hence the magic circles). She already felt magic returning to her. 'A little more, just a little more time' she thought desperately, eyes darting back and forth between the book and Roseia.
Suddenly, the magic circles disappeared. 'Yes!' she thought happily, almost saying it aloud. She turned her head to the side, scanning her fellow prisoners until she saw him. MINHO! she shouted to him telepathically. He twitched slightly, but didn't wake up. She tried again, with more force and urgency. MINHO, GET UP! SNAP OUT OF IT! This time he jumped, eyes flying open.
Calm down, it's me she said, fighting back a rush of joy. Astrid…? came a hesitant reply. He was looking at her now, a baffled expression on his face. We need to get these chains off. Can you do that? No response. She was about to ask again then she noticed his eyes. They were no longer looking at her face, but lower. She followed his gaze, and found it was directed to her chest. She felt heat rising to her face as she realized just how much her shirt was ripped.
And she wasn't exactly flat chested.
NOW IS NOT THE TIME she shouted into his mind. He flinched from the force of it, then met her eyes again. Now, get these off of me she thought, jerking her chin to her chains.
He narrowed his eyes at the chains. They suddenly disconnected from the wall, making Astrid fall to the ground with a thump. 'Crap!' Astrid thought as Roseia turned at the sound. Their widened eyes met as Roseia's eyebrows shot up.
Don't stop, this is your chance!
Astrid scrambled to her feet as Roseia's face contorted in rage. Astrid made a mad dash for the book, as Roseia got to her feet. Astrid was in arms length of the book when she was suddenly sent flying into the wall.
In a flash, Roseia had managed to pin her to the wall, holding her by her neck. "You don't learn do you?" Roseia said menacingly. Her grip tightened with each word, while Astrid thrashed in vain.
"Sto...it….ro..a.." Astrid struggled to form a complete word with the air she had. "This is your 36th time trying to escape, when will you realize," Roseia said. "There is no esca-"
Roseia stopped mid-sentence, then screamed in pain. She pressed both hands to her temples, letting Astrid fall to ground in a coughing fit. " AAAAAAAAAH! IT HURTS! IT HURTS! STOP IT!" She screamed, falling to her knees. Astrid smirked weakly at her, and said "Don't screw with a psychic".
YAY ASTRID SHOWS OFF HER POWERS! The action starts now.
As always, thank you for reading. REVIEW.
