Chapter 20
Claire-"Uh you didnt hear that."
Lily-"Heey when you come back in a week mind bringing some air freshener? it smells like shit down here."
Gray- "D-d-damn...I couldn't do anything to him...again...Nae...kill me now...I am useless." said Gray as he laid there on the ground.
Nae- Nae changed back to his normal self, took two steps, and collapsed.
Lily-"Well Alleria, Rhonda's gonna be sad that she's not gonna be the one to kill you, but oh well, she'll be happy you're dead."Lily pulled her blade out of her belt and pulled it back ready to stab claire.
?-Out of nowhere a man a few years older than claire slammed into Lily knocking her to the ground,"Dammit Lily." he picked up her machete and stabbed her stomach with it.
Nae- Nae crawled over to Claire, taking Lilly's knife to the chest.
Gray- "Who are you?" said Gray as he used his sword as a cane to walk and then fall against the wall behind him.
Claire-"Holy shit." she whispered,"Ryan she screamed throwing her arms around him.
Gray- "Another one? I-I am out of energy to fight!" said Gray as he attempted to patch up his wounds with some extra medical supplies he had.
Ryan-"Oh my god ew get off me Alleria." he said shoving her off so hard she fell on the floor, "I'm not gonna fight you. Dont wanna completely murder you or anything."
Gray- Gray, now getting his energy back to walk from Shinji's medical stuff, walked over to Ryan and readied himself as he said "You sure?"
Nae- Nae woke up. Looking around, he gasped. "W-what happened?"
Gray- "You went all freak mode on me again and then Grimm came and kicked your ass, then Claire said she loved you and you turned back to normal." said Gray looking over at Nae.
Nae- "S-she did?" Nae said?
Claire-"did you have to fucking tell him that?!"
Gray- "I did though! It was essential to the plot! I am surprised he didn't freak out that Grimm kick his ass in one hit. He seems like the type to freak out about losing, not someone saying something obvious like 'Claire loves you'."
Nae- "I-I Uh..." Nae blushed deeply red.
Gray- "Oh and you also made me pissed cause you stabbed Rhonda through the chest asshole!" said Gray as he went over to Rhonda and use the remaining supplies he had to heal her.
Nae- "Move." Nae said pushing Gray out of the way as he got to work, undoing what he did. When he was done she was perfectly fine. He healed her wounds better than new. No scars or anything.
Gray- "I will stay hurt until I can get Shinji to heal me cause I don't want to be healed by your healing "style"." said Gray as he looked around and said "You have a lot of people to heal around here."
Nae- Nae looked down in shame. He was unspeakably sorry. He didn't know what to say. "I'm-I'm super sorry..."
Gray- "Yeah well you weren't the worst threat during the battle. Grimm now has targeted you as well as me. Fucking asshole, I can't wait to kill him." said Gray as his voice got really dark.
Nae- Nae healed everyone as best as he could. "So what's our next move?"
Gray- "None of them are awake yet." said Gray as he walked with Nae. " Our next plan of attack is just to wait a week for the war or at least that is what is best right now." said Gray.
Nae- "Okay." Nae went over to Claire, sitting down next to her. "So um..."
Claire-"Uh but like what do we do about Lily and all them? They probably still have a death wish for me and and." Claire started crying.
Gray- "Then you will have to beat them till they understand your pain" said Gray. "I only fought because I thought it would be a good warm up."
Claire-"Yea thanks for that Gray. Feels great when your friends take sides with people they dont even know."
Gray- "Hey I know one of them!" said Gray. "Besides, Nae was the enemy at the end there. I was playing around until he went all crazy on us." said Gray.
Claire-"Uh yea that was kinda hard to watch."
Rhonda-"What the hell happened?" she said barely conscious.
Gray- "Well let's see, you came to help me fight monster Nae, got stabbed, then I beat Nae to a bloody pulp and healed you, kind of." said Gray helping her up from the ground.
Rhonda-"Owwww jesus my stomach hurts."
Gray- "It may hurt for a while, you were stabbed." said Gray.
Rhonda-"thanks for that Nae."
Gray- "At least he said he was sorry, before, while you were asleep...it's the thought that counts." said Gray.
Rhonda-Rhonda laughed,"yea i suppose. Im just happy your alright! You ready to take on Grimm next week?"
Gray- "I was never not ready. I don't care what I have to do, I just have to beat him." said Gray.
Claire-"uhhh so can we leave before the rest of them wake up?"
Gray- "I guess, it is your choice, do you want to talk to them or not." said Gray.
Claire-"Uh not really." she turned to see Ryan walking out the door,"Hey where are you going?"
Ryan-"Just because I saved you doesnt mean i like you or anything. I just don't want you to die to a bitch like that. Later Alleria."
Gray- "I would rather die by girls than by a dick like him." said Gray as he collected up his stuff and turned to Claire and said "You ready to go?"
Claire-"Uh yea..."She said sorta distant.
Gray- "What about Rhonda?" he said as he pointed to her laying against the wall as he said "She will see us leaving, you ok with that?"
Claire-"I honestly don't care unless it'll affect your relationship or whatever,"she said rolling her eyes
Gray- "No, it won't affect anything really. I guess we should get going then. I will take you to one of the safest places I know, the Blood Blossoms HQ." he said as they started walking
