Gray came to school a few days after the crime scene. They found him innocent and sent him back here, letting him continue his normal life. But as soon as he got here, people gave him glares, called him a murder. At lunch, he came up to our table. "Hey guys." he smiled, sitting next to Leo. Everyone glared at him before getting up and walking to a different table. Leo gave him a sad look before following the rest. I was the only one left. He gave me a pleading look, but I couldn't help think it might've been him who killed Sting. Turning away, I walked out of the cafeteria.

School went fast this week. Gray has been trying to talk to us but none of us would listen. I started feeling pity for him. He needed a friend, I knew he did. On Friday, I approached him in the school yard which was empty, probably because of him. Sitting beside him on one of the benches that was set up, I smiled, "Hi Gray."

He gave me a look before looking ahead again. "So now you talk to me."

I gave him a sheepish look. "Sorry, but I guess I was still under the shock that you were there when those men were killed."

"I didn't kill them. I heard screaming. I ran over to where it was. Everyone was dead except one. I talked to him. The last thing he said was 'monster' before dieing in my arms. But I didn't kill them. I was just there at the wrong time, that's all."

Nodding, I leaned back. "Well then, I believe you."

"Really?"

"You looked really sad when you explained that to me. I also know when people are telling the truth very well." I gave him a wink making him laugh.

"Gods Lucy, you just know how to make a person smile."

I grinned, "I try my hardest."

"Still friends?"

"Of course!"

He sighed, leaning back on his hands. "That's good."

I smiled but stopped midway when a sudden throbbing hit my head. Groaning, I held my in my head, squeezing my eyes shut. "Lucy? Are you okay?"

I nodded, which was not a good idea because another painful throb went through my head. Pulling me up, Gray started leading me to the nurses office. Walking in, the nurse let me lay on one of the beds in the next room. Just after a blink I went under a deep sleep.

No One's POV

"I'll be leaving her to you now ma'am." Gray said, bowing before leaving. She smiled after him before returning to her work. An hour or so later the door opened making the nurse snap her head up and smile at who was in front of her.

"Oh my, here to see her again 'eh?" she laughed. The man nodded, smiling with the woman. "She's right where you left her." she pointed to where the blonde was before returning her attention back to her work. Thanking her, the raven haired man entered where the girl laid. Pulling a chair up he sat next to her. Grabbing her hand, he kissed it tenderly.

"Oh Lucy, you need to be more careful. You can be so careless sometimes." he laughed, brushing her bangs away from her face. Kissing her forehead, he exited the room and made his way to the door.

"My, aren't you a good boyfriend?" the nurse laughed making the man look over his shoulder and smile.

"Thank you ma'am." exiting the room, he laughed evilly. "I think I'm having second thoughts on keeping Gray alive." he disappeared after those words.

Gray's POV

Yawning, I entered the nurses office. It was almost lunch and I decided to leave something for Lucy. Walking in the office, I saw the nurse give me a strange look. I rose an eyebrow. "What?"

"Weren't you here a minute ago?" she asked.

"Wha-"

Walking to the cafeteria, I headed to where everyone was sitting. As I came over, they sent me glares as they were about to get up but I stopped them by saying, "Did any of you know Lucy is in the infirmary?" All of their eyes widened.

"What?!"

"I'm taking that as a 'no' then." I grumbled before sitting in the chair where Natsu was at. "Look, I see that you're mad and me at all, thinking that I killed those men, but I didn't." I started telling them what I told Lucy earlier.

"I believe you," Leo stated. Everyone agreed.

"Sorry we didn't believe you Gray..." Levy said sadly. I patted her head smiling.

"It's alright, but I have a feeling that someones posing as me..." I mumbled. Then a loud cackling sound was heard on the speakers.

"Mira and Lisanna Strauss, come to the office, we have some news for you." Lisanna and Mira shared a confused look before getting up and leaving.

Leo POV

At the end of the day was when we saw the Strauss sisters come out to see us after school with tear strained faces. Unshed tears still remained in their eyes. "What's wrong?!" Erza asked, looking at the sisters worriedly.

"I-it seems that Elfman died earlier today. He was sick this morning, but a neighbor heard screaming. When they came in, they saw him laying on his bed dead." Mira explained through sobs. Erza and Levy guided them to the booth we were in. I gritted my teeth, I was getting sick of Zeref's games.

"This was on his chest. It's for you, Leo." Lisanna whispered, holding out a piece of paper to us. I grabbed it before anyone else could.

Opening it, I started reading it quietly. It said, 'Leo, I swear if you report this, your friends family will be next. So keep quiet...Leo'. I crumbled it up in my hands. I was going to kill him. "What does it say?" Natsu asked, leaning forward. I gave everyone a sad look.

"There's something I've been keeping from you guys." I said quietly.

"What is it?" Gray asked slowly.

"I know the killer," everyone gasped. "He was actually a friend of Lucy and I. He was great, like a brother. But he was obsessed with her. He started killing people who got too close or harmed her. One day he took it too far and disappeared. I'm sorry I kept this from all of you. I was trying to keep this from Lucy. She doesn't know any of this. I don't want the bad memories coming back to her, it would be to painful for her. Please don't tell her this." I begged.

Everyone nodded, giving me a serious look, they now knew about Zeref, all I need them to do now was to keep it from Lucy.
