TWELTH CHAPTER, YAY! I never thought I'd get this far so fast honestly. Big thanks to 8XxAnimexX8 Senpai for being a dedicated reader and reviewing! I'm starting to rethink the Clannad After Story parody thing, if I were to do it, I'd have to rewatch the same sad scene over and over again to get the details right. I don't think I can handle that many feelz ;-;. Also, I'll be adding some text in between this and the story from now on, it'll be important later on.

Disclaimer: I own nothing of Mashima's.

Dia gasped and released Gray, who now had his bangs covering his eyes.

"H-How do you know that n-name?" she stuttered.

He said nothing. Her eyes widened as a memory suddenly popped into her mind.

"Hehehe, ...ryu-kun! Stay with me, until the end."

"That depends on the choices you make in the near future...-sama."

"Heh, that sounded pretty wise coming from someone like you."

Both laughed and looked toward the door. "Is she coming?" "Probably..." "I want to play with her again!"

Soundlessly, the door opened. The outline of a person appeared in the doorway. "Ah, she came!"

"Come sit down, we were expecting you."

The memory suddenly ended and Dia came back to reality.

Gray had moved away from her and was now drawing something on the walls. There was an eerie vibe coming from him.

Astrid and Minho looked spooked yet puzzled. "W-What was that?" Astrid nearly whispered, her eyes glued to Gray.

"Don't know," Minho slowly replied, his eyes flitting between Dia and Gray.

Dia stood up and slowly brushed off her skirt, still shell-shocked. Astrid walked over to where Gray was and inspected seemed to be in some sort of trance, moving his limbs stiffly."Gray…?" she called nervously, lightly tapping his back. He didn't respond or even give any indication that he'd heard her, he just kept drawing.

"Gray?" she called again, firmly this time. He slowly turned his head to look at her, so slow it was briefly smiled at her then went back to drawing. She huffed and grabbed his wrist, hard.

He froze (no pun intended) then slowly turned to her again. This time he didn't smile at her, instead he kept a blank expression.

"Are you alright?" she asked slowly, to make sure he understood her. He stared at her for a few seconds before ripping his wrist from her grasp.

Their eyes met as she let her hand drop back to her side. They stared at each other for what seemed like forever, the tension was looked back and forth between the two, unnerved by the long lasting tension.

Dia was seemingly in deep thought about something, zoning out for the suddenly broke eye contact and turned to stare outside. Suddenly, he started walking toward the exit.

"Where're you going?" Astrid questioned immediately, only a few paces behind him. He turned toward her and narrowed his eyes slightly. Astrid gasped, "Your eyes, what happened to your eyes?"

Gray's eyes were no longer black, but now light blue and dull.

In an unknown location, a lone girl sat on her knees, weeping.

She was surrounded by thorns, unable to escape. She'd already tried and had gained dozens of everywhere. Her arms, her legs, underneath her clothes, even on her wings. Yes, she had wings.

They were in resting position, having no trace of their usual prayed those terrible men wouldn't come back, they certainly weren't 'd thought humans would be like they were in her memories; generous, fun to play with and humble.

She looked up through the thorns to check if the sun was still there. It night had been rough. It was cold and wet and not shook her head. Not fun at all.

She desperately wanted her red eyes friends to come back, they'd played with her. But they had to run when the scary men came. She wished she could run with them.

Crack

Her eyes widened.

A sound.

Crack crunch

Another sound. It was closer this time. She could vaguely guess they were footsteps. 'Which means…!'

They crashed through the bushes.

Too late.

"Well, well, well," the large man said with a grin, looking down at her."Looks like our little Fairy-chan has tried to escape again~" The girl next to him sang.

"But there's no reason to escape anymore~". She noticed the man was holding the end of a rope which he quickly yanked forward. A squeal came from the other side of the rope before another girl crashed through the bushes, being forcefully pulled. The rope bound her wrists, which prevented her from balancing properly.

Their eyes widened at the sight of each other's beaten states.

"Arisu…!"

"Yumichi…!"

The thorn cage opened, only for the man to kick her friend inside."W-What are you doing here?!" Yumichi cried, in joy yet in anger."I didn't come of my own free will ya know" Arisu grumbled, fumbling with the rope. Yumichi immediately started helping her and together they managed to undo the knot binding her 's expression darkened suddenly. "They're hunting," she said in a low voice.

"What?"

"They're hunting fairies, Yumichi. They're hunting us for that project of theirs"

Yumichi felt her eyes burn at that statement.'How could humans be so cruel? Aren't we supposed to be praised? This isn't like what she said at all.' Arisu nudged her, making her friend to face her.

"Don't worry," she said with a grin. "We'll definitely get out of this."

Letting you know now, whenever I switch POVs like I did in this chapter, it's VERY important to pay attention to the new characters. This took me quite a while to type but luckily I had a good vibe and managed to finish it today. I've decided to make a deadline for myself. NEW CHAPTER EVERY 2-5 DAYS. I know it might seem like a long time but it's hard to make a chapter with all this school work. Luckily, I have no school for the rest of the week so I might get another chapter out by the end of the week. I noticed how my story had exactly 777 views. Coincidence? I THINK NOT! (REFERENCE)
