Iced Wings
Chapter 2
Blood Reaper
Blood. That was the first thing that came to me. It covered everything which I was able to spot, even me. But the scariest thing was that the blood wasn't mine, it was so much to only be mine instead it was the blood of my victims, Raven's victims who had fallen prey to my hands that were to be eternally coated in their blood. I just ran ahead, trying to get away from here but now the horrifying voices of the people suffering because of me were echoing in that damned tunnel I was running through.
'Please, I beg you! Leave me! Please spare my life!'
'Aaaah! You freak! I will take..my revenge…you brat!'
'Spare my wife and daughter…sob…please…kill me but not them…I beg you'
'It's Raven! He is coming this way! Everybody run!'
'Waaah! Mamma! Papa! You kiwwed Feli's pawents! UWAAAAH! FELI HATE WOU!'
'Go away brat, we don't want a killing machine in our cafeteria. You are alive because you are Master Keith's fav. Get the fuck away from our sight!'
'He is a killer'
'Killer'
'Murderer'
'Beast! He is a demon!'
"Stop it…I don't want it..I don't want to be a demon…please stop!" I said, my voice sounding broken but what was I to do. I just ran and ran when suddenly I spotted a man in front of me. He had platinum shoulder length hair and wore a brownish coat and pants with a maroon shirt and a white tie. He was giving off this warm aura but just as I neared him the warmness turned into the deadliest thing I have ever came across. I stopped abruptly in my tracks as the man grabbed my hand roughly and pulled me into the black seal he was standing on.
"There is no need to run Gray. This is who you are, a demon, a killing machine, a freak, a beast, an assassin! You are only eligible to take other's lives and nothing more. Don't you remember, even before I trained you to be an assassin, there were already three lives lost because of you! So why run now! Accept it Gray! There is no place you can go now except for here, Blood Reaper. This guild is the place where you will stay from now on! Just accept it! This your fate! Nothing can change it!" Keith said as the black seal glowed as tendrils grabbed on to the ice mage, who was just gripping his head in a failed attempt of keeping himself from believing in what Keith was telling him.
"No…I don't believe you. This isn't my fate nor it is my destiny…I just want to be free…I don't want anything else…let me go…" Gray said as the tendrils just continued to cover him. He looked at Keith to see him smirking at him.
"Freedom was never for you, Raven" those were the last words Gray heard before he was fully covered in the black coat of his dreadful deeds in past.
~ Laboratory, Blood Reaper~
"How is it going Levia?" Keith asked as he looked at the ice mage strapped on the metal table who was now limp after an hour of screaming and convulsing or so.
"I think he had accepted it after all this effort" Levia, the main scientist and doc of the dark guild, said as she looked at the ice mage. Keith just nodded his head in approval as he went and checked upon his all time fav assassin. After all he was the only one who had done every mission with greatest accuracy anyone can demand. Suddenly Gray's eyes opened as he looked around himself then spotted that he was tied on a really hard surface.
"Oh, you are finally awake Gray!" Keith exclaimed as he unstrapped Gray, who just sat up and did nothing else as if he was not the person he was before he was brought here.
"You again! I will kill you, you bastard!" Gray suddenly yelled as rage covered his senses. He was just aiming his fist for Keith when suddenly an electric shock went in his arm as he slumped on the ground while cradling it. It was burnt and appeared red.
"Do you think I wouldn't have had some of my own measures ready, huh? Well, I have already selected a mission for you so go and get ready brat." Keith said as Levia started bandaging Gray's arm when he first time noticed the bracelet on his arm, which likely was the source of the shock.
"Gray, he willn't let you live unless you do what he wants you to. So please obey him, I can't see you suffer anymore after all you are the son of my best friend." Levia said as she carefully applied the cream on his injury while Gray just nodded mutely, having no other choice other than to obey that son of a bitch. After the bandaging was done, he went in the main hall where Keith had called him.
"You are here, I see. Well, your first mission after all this time is just to kill a family of 4 nothing more. And don't even think of deceiving me this time because you are under my surveillance this time, Raven chan" Keith said as Gray just nodded his head. He went out of the room and headed to his so-called room. He entered and changed into a black hoodie and black jeans before going out of the large building. He drove to the southern part of the city where the house of his victims was situated. After driving through a dense foliage, he spotted a decent mansion and left his bike in the forest. He stealthily climbed up the tree, his training as a kid re-surfacing at his every move. He opened the window and jumped inside. He went into the corridor and spotted the family in the main room. He waited when the father stood up and headed outside, where he was standing. He hid behind the door and just as the door was closed, he slitted the man's neck and broke his backbone. First target dead, now three more left. For the rest of the three, he just entered the room and before the mother of the twins even got a chance to scream, the three were long dead. Gray just looked at what he has just done. It wasn't so different from what Deliora had done to his family. He just shook his head sadly as he quickly made his way back, knowing better than to stay there and be caught red handed.
~Fairy Tail, 1 year after Gray's kidnapping~
It has been 1 year since that day and nothing have been normal after that. When the news of Gray being kidnapped reached the ears of Fairy Tail, they went berserk to search for their comrade. They had even forgotten about the request board which was literally overflowing with jobs but no one was interested in taking them except from some who were really in need of money. Just 2 months ago it was announced that maybe Gray wasn't in that world anymore which no one was ready to believe but as time went by everyone started to move on. Everyone did, except for Team Natsu, who were still waiting for their lost Ice Make mage friend. Gray's spot was never even tried to be filled in and the three only went on missions that will even try to help in their search for Gray. Currently the said team was sitting on a table in the guild hall as they discussed their searches.
"Gray…I think we should agree with everyone else and maybe..move on" Erza said, as she sighed unhappily. It has been over 1 year and still there was no sign of her best friend anywhere. Natsu was just going to retort when suddenly the doors of the guild were thrown open to reveal Crime Sorcierie.
"Long time no see huh…"
