Gray's very graphic, intense and vivid dream
Gray shifted uncomfortably from his position on a wobbly wooden stool in a dark tavern.
"Tea?"
Gray shook his head with a sigh.
"You told me you'd seen a girl with blue hair" Gray almost growled. He had been sitting in the Tavern for almost half an hour trying to get information from the elderly lady sat across from him. She had told him that she'd seen Juvia and could help him.
Flashback - Earlier on
Gray stared wide-eyed at the position Juvia previously stood. His jaw hung open in shock.
Hurt her? He would never do something like that especially to someone who cared or used to care about him so much.
Gray frowned, it's true that he did wish she'd leave him alone sometimes but he didn't want her to hate him.
Juvia's words had felt like a bullet to his heart, he cared about her, he really did but not in the way she wanted.
Before Gray could ponder about Juvia's weird behaviour any further a cold chill ran down his spine.
He was the target of many glares. He almost froze in position when he locked eyes with Mira. Her hair defied gravity like Kakashi's grey hair and seemingly had a life of its own like the hair of a super Saiyan.
"Gray," she said his name in a sickly sweet tone.
"Y-yes" he responded shakily.
"Why did Juvia say you hurt her"
Gray shook his head, he didn't hurt Juvia… well not physically anyway.
Mira's eyes narrowed at Gray as she crossed her hands over her chest. "Then why is she saying you hurt her"
Gray brought his hands up in a defensive manner.
"I don't know… I haven't done anything to her" he said defensively. Gray watched cautiously as Mira's grey super Saiyan hair decided to follow the laws of gravity and return to its normal position.
"Just go look for her" she sighed.
Gray quickly nodded his head not in the position to disagree, even if he could he would have chosen to look for Juvia on his own. He felt responsible for her odd behaviour.
The ice mage rushed out the guild, happy to leave all the tension. In his 'happiness' and relief he failed to realise that he had forgotten his trousers laying on the guild floor.
Gray swore up at the dark cloudy sky as rain poured down from the sky in big bluey-grey teardrops. He studied the droplets as they slammed onto the cracked concrete bellow his feet and exploded into much tinier droplets.
'Tears' he thought bitterly to herself. The thunderous cries of two clouds violently colliding echoed down the empty street.
'Cries'
Gray sighed and shoved his hands into his jacket pockets his raven hair stuck to his face and felt like a wet soggy mop, he had been looking for Juvia for well over an hour and was starting to get worried. It was dark, raining and late. He had already checked her home, gone back to the guild and Lucy's apartment twice. She was nowhere to be seen.
It wasn't safe for her to be walking around at this late and in this weather, yes she was a water mage but what if an ice mage stronger than her tried to attack her. What if Lyon wanted to kidnap her and lock her up in his basement? Gray shook the disturbing thoughts of Lyon as a yandere out of his head.
"Young man you look troubled, could I be of assistance" Gray glanced downwards towards a short elderly lady with wire like silver hair, her green eyes looked dull in colour as she smiled up at him.
"Uh I'm looking for a friend"
"Is that so? Is she a girlfriend" The lady's thin lip moved like puppets as she spoke. Even the wrinkles she had reminded him of the lines puppets had from their bottom lips to their chins.
"No" Gray finally said. The old lady rose an eyebrow and smirked.
"You hesitated". Gray frowned he didn't hesitate… well, he did but it was because he was comparing the lady's face to one of puppets but he couldn't say that.
"I was processing the question". The lady's smirk widened.
"Tell me what does this friend look like". The ice mage shrugged his shoulders.
"Blue hair, blue eyes, blue clothes, talks in the first person-"
"Juvia?" Gray's eyes widened as he suddenly crouched down and grabbed the old lady by the shoulder.
"You know her?! Have you seen her?! Where is she?! He practically yelled in her face.
"Come with me I'll show you where I saw her"
Flashback End
"Ahh yes you're girlfriend," she said with a grin. Gray clenched his teeth and bit his tongue to prevent himself from saying something he'd regret later.
"She was in my store yesterday"
Calmly Gray proceeded to stand up and walk towards the door of the tavern. This lady was wasting his time, time in which he could be looking for Juvia. She went missing today not yesterday.
"Wait where are you going? Don't you want to experience what she experience?" Gray was in front the hag in less than a second.
"Explain" he demanded.
"That darling wanted to live in her dreams for a while so I let her" Gray was confused, he was certain that Juvia's dreams consisted of him and Juvia being Lovey Dovey surely she would have been in a good mood after living in one of her fantasies.
"That cutie pie was speechless once it was over. You know what I think I'll show you"
Before Gray could respond he thrust into a dark oblivion.
After a short while, the dark oblivion was replaced with pale yellow walls and a sky blue carpet. A green love seat began to materialise closely followed by a light blue princess bed.
Gray's eyes narrowed in concentration. He recognised this room as Juvia's, he had been in it once before when she decided to look after him after he had a bit too much to drink. Gray glanced around the room everything seemed to be as he remembered it. Well almost everything, the plushies and posters Juvia had of him were nowhere to be seen. She loved his merchandise and treasured each and every one of them. His dark eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he slowly walked around looking for where the Gray's could be hidden.
"Why worry about the fakes when you have the real one"
Grays's eyes widened at the sound of his own voice. Standing in front of him, was a replica of himself but topless. Gray number 2 also had a cheeky smirk planted on his face and his onyx eyes held a hint of mischief.
"What Gray" muttered in shock. It was weird seeing himself standing half naked in the room of a girl who loved him so much.
"Juvia… Juvia I." Gray slapped his hand over the mouth of his duplicate not wanting to hear what he was going to say for a number of reasons. The top reason being he wasn't Juvia and he had no intention of becoming Juvia.
"I'm not Juvia," Gray stated in a matter of fact tone. The duplicate smiled before pulling Gray into a tight hug. Gray choked as he breathed in a strong metallic scent, his skin never smelt metallic, he always used the lavender perfume he stole from Lucy. Gray growled as he tried but failed to rip himself out of the grip of the clone.
"Damn lady," he cursed, the lady couldn't even replicate his strength properly or perhaps she gave him the same physical strength as Juvia. The latter seemed more logical since his duplicate kept calling him Juvia.
Gray was so caught up in thought that didn't notice his head being tilted up and the duplicate Gray leaning in until it was too late. Gray froze as soft, plump lips met his own soft plump lips. To say he was disgusted was an understatement. He was being forced into a kiss by a topless version of himself. Gray gagged as he felt bile coming up his throat. He was going to vomit. The lumpy acidic liquid sprayed from his lips onto the lips of the other Gray but he still didn't pull away. Gray continued to vomit, not only was he kissing himself but there was vomit pooling down his lips. The rotten smell of yesterday's supper intertwined wich acid, lavender and metal increased the intensity of vomit spraying from his mouth.
After what seemed like a lifetime of torture the duplicate Gray released his lips "Juvia I love you" Gray gagged as the words repeated in her head like a broken record, over and over again. He would have preferred Lucy or even Juvia saying those words.
"Juvia I love you"
"Juvia I love you"
"Juvia I love you"
"Juvia I love you"
"Juvia I want you"
"Juvia I want you"
"Juvia I want you"
"Juvia I want to kill you" Gray's eyes widened as suddenly Juvia's bedroom drained in colour so that it was now a mixture of greys.
"Juvia I want to kill you!" This time the line was accompanied by an insane laughter.
"Juvia I want to kill you!" Gray tried to tug away once again but Gray number 2's grip was too tight.
"Juvia I want to kill you!" An intense pain emitted from Gray's stomach as a hand encased in ice forced it's way through the thick-toned layers of skin tissue and through the thick dense pink muscle which protected his organs. A low squishy sound like someone stepping in thick mud could be heard as the hand twist and turned inside of him.
Gray coughed as blood, bile and lumps of food flew out of his mouth in thick lumpy reddish yellowish droplets.
"I missed" The ice mage's eyes doubled in size as the hand was ripped out his stomach. Blood splattered everywhere as the hand was once again thrust into his toned abdomen however unlike before this hand grabbed onto something… his spine.
Gray looked his duplicate in the eye daring him to do what he thought his duplicate was going to do. In return, he was sent a smirk, a dark smirk one reserved for the cruellest people hidden away in the depths of hell.
He felt it, he felt what Juvia felt.
That moment he realised why Juvia was so scared of him.
Even if it was just for a split second he felt the excruciating pain of his spine disconnecting with his skull and ripping through his rib cage. He felt what Juvia had to endure
He felt his lungs burst open and abdominal wall tear in two as the hand pulled and tugged at his spine. He watched in horror as his entrails poured out, following his spine in a tangled mess.
He felt what Juvia felt
He endured what Juvia endured.
Gray snapped open his eyes, he was back in the Tavern. The one the elderly lady owned. He had just endured having his spine ripped out and a knife in the shoulder.
Gray clenched his fist and glared daggers at her.
"I'll kill you," he said in between clenched teeth. The old hag simply sent him a closed eye smile before replying.
"It's understandable that you're angry, you don't want to be in a fantasy with yourself, do you. Don't worry here's one on the house"
"Ice make-" Gray didn't get a chance to complete his sentence as he was thrust into yet another dark oblivion.
The sky was picture perfect, no clouds to ruin the nice sky blue. The sun shone brightly in the sky heating up his skin. Usually Gray would have complained at something like this but he was in a cool pool, wearing nothing but his swimming trunks, more clothes than he would of like but he felt pretty comfortable, in fact, everything seemed perfect except for the 6 Juvia's around him, 3 on either side.
"Gray-sama Juvia loves you," they all chanted in unison. Having one Juvia was enough trouble but 5 clad in skimpy bikinis? That was torture. Gray closed his eyes in annoyance. He was pissed, that old lady pissed him off.
"Gray-sama Juvia loves you," one of the Juvias whispered in his ears. A tint of red dusted his cheeks as she pressed herself into his toned chest and planted a kiss on his cheek.
"NO JUVIA LOVES YOU MORE" Gray choked on his saliva as his right arm was pulled in the direction of another Juvia.
"JUVIA LOVES GRAY-SAMA MORE" Grays eyes widened as he felt his left foot being pulled
"NO JUVIA LOVES YOU MORE" His left arm was tugged,
"JUVIA LOVES GRAY-SAMA MORE" His right foot was pulled
"NO JUVIA LOVES YOU MORE" His head was being pulled
"JUVIA LOVES GRAY-SAMA THE MOST" a very private place was being pulled.
At first, the pulling wasn't too violent but having 6 Juvia's competing for him was bound to take a turn for the worst.
Gray squeezed his eyes closed in pain as he felt his right arm disconnect from his shoulder bone, he could hear the muscle and tissue tear like a piece of paper and the veins snap like a rubber band. Blood leaked out of his shoulder turning the water around him red.
Gray didn't have a chance to respond as he felt the bone in his right ankle snap in two, another snap could be heard from his knee on the left leg as it disconnected from his thigh. Both legs being pulled apart was agonising, something Gray thought he would never experience. Loose skin on his knee could be seen flapping in the breeze which had only just picked up. His eyes watered as he felt the chlorine in the pool stinging and poking at his open wounds. The bottom of his right leg was pink and bloody where the skin had ripped off and the muscle could be seen. A sharp fragment of bone could also be spotted poking out of the muscle as blood poured into the pool like an open tap. The water around him which was previously blue was now a deep red, heavily concentrated with his blood.
Gray froze when he felt little Gray being torn off his lower region. He didn't scream he didn't wince he just froze and stared as it floated in the water.
He was limbless, and what made him a man was no longer connected to him.
The final Juvia grinned as she hugged his head.
"GRAY-SAMA'S MINE!" she yelled in victory but what she failed to realise was that her tight grip was suffocating him...
Gray was engulfed in darkness once more...
Gray's cracked open his eyes, he was alive. He touched his feet and his lower region in relief, he had his limbs. He then glanced around the room he was in. He was back in the Tavern that belonged to the hag. The lady sat across from him with a wide grin on her face.
"How was it dear? Did you enjoy it?" she questioned. Gray resisted the urge to ice make her into a pile of blood and flesh.
"I hope you die soon you old hag" he said simply. Gray slowly stood up and walked out of the Tavern, his eyes dark and mouth dry.
That old witch had tortured Juvia than used Juvia's to torture him.
'Disgusting' he thought bitterly, he was going to make sure her store was closed down and that she was thrown into an asylum.
The Next day (He didn't find her)
Gray walked into the rowdy guild hall with his hands shoved into his black jeans. The noise in the guild hall died as everyone watched him walk across the giant hall towards a certain bluenette water mage. He let out an annoyed sigh as both Erza and Mira stood in front of her protectively,
Did they really think he'd hurt Juvia? Nevertheless Gray continued towards Juvia until he was standing in front of the two of them.
"Move," he said. He wasn't in the mood for dealing with them, especially when they thought he was the bad guy.
"We will not let you see her," Erza said sternly. Mira nodded her head in agreement, neither of them thought Juvia was ready to see Gray. They both knew that Gray wasn't the type of person to hurt his Nakama but obviously something had happened. Their theory was confirmed when Gray spoke up again.
"Juvia I know what happened, that old hag put me through what you went through plus more"
Juvia's eyes widened Grey-sama had been tortured and stabbed liked her?
"The spine, the chair, the knife everything plus extra's which were on the house"
Both Mira and Erza started at Gray and Juvia in confusion. Knife, chair and spine? It made no sense.
Gray could see Juvia through the small gap between Mira and Erza. Her big blue eyes were glossy as if tears were building up ready to fall. Her royal blue hair framed her face in messy untamed waves, her pale skin was paler than usually with dark blue bags under her eyes probably from lack of sleep. She looked very blue.
"Gray-sama… Juvia didn't mean for you to…" tears began to fall from her eyes as she tried to continue what she was saying.
"Juvia.. she didn't mean for Gray-Sama to be tortured as well. Juvia's sorry if she didn't say what she-"
"Juvia it's fine, I'm fine," he said with a smile. He didn't want her to blame herself. If anything he was the guilty one, he had rejected her in such a horrible way, he was the reason she had wanted to live in her dreams. He looked down at his feet in guilt, if he had just said yes Juvia wouldn't have gone through what she did. She would have still loved him.
His thoughts were cut short by Erza who was red with rage.
"TORTURE?" She yelled. She grabbed Gray by the shoulders forcing him to look into her brown eyes. He was hesitant at first to explain what had happened but a forceful shake from her was enough to get him to speak.
Gray had never seen the guild so riled up, plates, tables, weapons and mages were being thrown around in anger. The noise level had more than doubled as people shouted out curses and threats to the open air.
In all the confusion Gray managed to sneak beside Juvia. He grasped her small hand in his to gain her attention. Her eyes widened in fear and she winced slightly.
"Juvia I'm sorry for everything that happened to you, if I'd known what would happen I wouldn't have rejected you," he said as he stared into her ocean eyes. Juvia didn't say anything in return, she tried to but her mouth opened and closed like a fish.
Out of the corner of his eyes, Gray could see Juvia's hands shake violently.
It was going to be a long road to recovery.
