I'm sorry this was all i was able to get done this week, a close friend of mine passed away this week so this was all I got done.
For those of you who wanted to see the Cursed Apple symbol I wasn't able to post it so i made my profile pic it if you really want to see it.
Lucy woke up from her peaceful sleep feeling Gray's warmth around her. For an ice mage he is surprisingly warm. Lucy flipped over to face Gray: he was already up. "Morning Lucy." He said in a hush voice. "Morning sweetie." She replied. Lucy dragged herself out of bed and to the bathroom to wash up. Gray got up and wearing nothing but blue boxers, he grabbed his jeans and started to get dressed. After a quick bath Lucy got dressed and came out to the main room. Gray was dressed but wearing no shirt and leaning agents the wall waiting for Lucy. She grabbed her things, Gray being among them and ran out the door.
As soon as Lucy and Gray walked in the door Lucy was grabbed by Levy and Cana and pulled away to the far corner of the guild, while Gray was grabbed by Erza and dragged across the floor to the master. "So Lu, tell us how was your trip and spare no detail we want to know everything!" Levy said bursting with excitement. "Especially the dirty bits." Cana added. Lucy blushed and when on to tell them the events of their trip.
"Master Makarov I have retrieved Gray for you!" Erza yelled to the master as she approached him. She throw Gray across the floor to the master's feet. He resisted yelling at Erza for throwing him knowing it would be the last thing he would ever say. "Gray Erza tells me you and Lucy had a run in with the Cursed Apple guild." The master said jumping off the bar to reach eye level with Gray who was now sitting on the floor. "Ya these two weird guys wearing black robes and one had a cape with what I assume it was their guild symbol. Who are they gramps?" Makarov sighed and turned away for a second. "The Cursed Apple guild is a extremely dangerous dark guild who don't normally spare the people they face. Gray do you know the names of the people you saw?" Makarov had a serious look on his face that even freaked Erza out. Gray scratched his head taking a moment to think. "I think their names were Dan and Oscurità." The master mouth dropped he was so taken back he almost fainted. "What!" the entire guild looked over at the master whose scream could be heard far outside the guild. "You and Lucy face Oscurità and Dan Veleno and survived!" The master was in complete shock. "Master who are they?" Erza asked with concern in her voice. "Oscurità is the greatest assassin and shadow mage in Fiora and Dan Veleno is the son of their guild master Markus Veleno both him and his father are masters at poison magic and can kill with such ease they are both on the magic counsel's most wanted list. Lucy looked over at Gray across the room and she thought to herself that maybe she was right that guy didn't mean to hurt them or attended to. "Gramps why is this such a big deal?" The master grabbed Gray's shirt and held him up to his face. "Because they don't let anyone survive meaning they will come for you!" the master yelled. Lucy's eyes widened and the room started to spin. The last thing she heard was Gray call out her name.
Lucy woke up laying on one of the tables; Levy, Mira and Freed were all looking down at her. "Wha…what happened?" Lucy said trying to get up. "You fainted in the middle of the master's rant." Mira explained. "Where is Gray?" Lucy asked looking around the guild trying to spot him. "The master asked him, Erza and Natsu went to the counsel to report the appearance of Cursed Apple about an hour ago." Lucy got off the table and tried to steady herself, she was still dizzy after fainting. Levy helped her steady herself. "Levy why don't you walk Lucy home you really do need some rest. "Alright, come on Lu." Levy grabbed Lucy's hand and they headed out the door. The outside air smelled faintly of rotten food and the flowers outside the guild were all wilting. Lucy looked over in the direction of the wilting flowers, there she saw a tall guy with dark brown hair and on his hand was a guild simple that is resembled an apple,. "Levy look." Lucy pointed out the boy. "Wow he is cute but Lu what about Gray." levy said checking out the guy. "No look at the flowers he is walking by." All the flowers he walked by were wilting. "he's one of the Cursed Apple Guys I think his name is Dan." Levy's face turned to shook. "Lu we have to tell the master he is extremely dangerous." Levy tried to pull Lucy back into the guild. "No, lets follow him there must be a reason he is her." Lucy then pulled Levy in the direction of the Cursed Apple wizard.
The followed him for a good half hour until they reached the old burnt down mansion hidden by the forest in Magnolia. "You may as well come out girls I've known you were following me for some time." He called out. Lucy ran out from the bushes her and Levy were hiding in. Levy tried to grab her and stop her but she ended up being dragged out in the process. "Why are you here in Magnolia?" Lucy said grabbing her keys. "You have no need for those trust me I'm nothing like my guild mates." He said laughing under his breath. "Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Dan Veleno." He bowed to the girl. "I mean no harm in fact I ran away from home." Lucy looked into his eyes and saw that he wasn't lying. "If you ran away from home why are you here?" Levy said not buying it. "This old burned down mansion, its my childhood home, I grow up her before my father started Cursed Apple." Levy grabbed Lucy's hand. "So tell us why did you run away from home." Lucy demanded. "It's a bit of a long story but if you really must know
*Flash Back*
At the Cursed Apple HQ Master Markus is awaiting his son to return from his mission. "Father we are back with the lacrimas." Dan announced when entering the guild. "Excellent work Dan I trust you took care of anyone who gave you trouble." Markus said greeting his son. "Oh course father as promised I've started not to show mercury to my foes." Dan said sighing. "You will be a fine assassin one day, now the lacrimas." Dan held the wooden box out to his father; he grabbed the box and opened it. "Ah the poison lacrimas that Jose stole from us, these will make our magic grow to unspeakable power yet again and it should neutralise your antidote magic." Markus started to laugh uncontrollable. "Master!" They turned around to see Oscurità emerge from the shadows. "I have news of the Fairy Tail wizards we encountered, your son never did kill them, and the venomous fog spell he used was as a fake so they could escape." Markus looked at his son with a face that could kill. "Dan I told you mercury and love is weakness if you truly want to be part of this guild and one day be the new master you must learn to kill." Dan returned a glare to his father. "And what if I don't want to kill, what if I don't want to be the next master father!" Dan yelled. "You have no chose in the matter Daniel!" Dan turned away from his father and started to walk away. "Were are you going!" his father yelled. Without an answer Dan walked out.
*Flashback End*
"My father sees mercury and love as a weakness, because of it he spared my grandfather (his father) after he tried to murder my mother. He despised the fact that my mother was a healer, my family has always slowly creeped into darkness and become dark wizards. My grandfather returned and burned our home to the ground," tears slowly dropped from Dan's eyes, "My mother never made it out," Lucy could feel her heart break sharing in the pain of losing her own mother at a young age. "May father started Cursed Apple shortly after that, he hunted down my grandfather and made me watch as he slowly killed him." Lucy's composition slowly turned to horror. Dan slowly started to approach but before they could back up, "Stay away from them!" a man yelled from the bushes, a long metal pillar shot out of the bushes hitting Dan rate in the chest knocking him back. "Gajeel!" the girls called out. Gajeel ran out of the bushes to Levy. "Levy are you hurt!' he said in a panic, Levy let out a sigh of relief, "I'm fine Gajeel don't worry." Lucy glared at him. "I'm fine as well gajeel thats for asking and my I say subtle," Gajeel blushed and looked away angry and embarrassed, "I don't what you mean!" he said in a huff, "Um what about Dan, where is he," Levy pointed out, Gajeel ran over and found him unconscious under a tree. He kicked him in the face hard. "What are you doing Lucy yelled even more pissed a Gajeel, "I'm bringing him to the guild, just making sure he doesn't wake up on the way." he threw Dan over his shoulders and and pointed at the girls singling them to start walking.
Back in the guild they but Dan in a cage Redus made with is picto magic and the master was examining him closely. Dan slowly started to come to, "Where am I?" he said waking from his hase. Makora looked at him closely, "You in Fairy Tail , welcome," Makora said with a friendly smile, "Fairy Tail!" Dan lite up, happy and excited. "So Lucy tells me you ran away from home, to be excact from your father." Dan nodded letting out a sad sigh, "Yes, I understand why it may seem odd since my father is the master of the Cursed Apple dark guild but trust me I'm not like the others, I'm not an evil wizard," Dan turned his her looking at the guild member who were hiding behind flipped over tables. "Your father is indeed an evil man Daniel, and for those reasons the guild members are weary of you."
Suddenly the doors flew open with a force even Makarov was spooked. "Master! Master Makarov!" Erza stormed into the guild in a panic Natsu followed behind her carrying Gray. Gray was unconscious his skin pale as snow and panting furiously, when the master saw Gray his eyes widened. "Erza that happened!" Erza pulled a table up to the master and Natsu placed Gray on it. A few guild members ran over to Gray. "Gray! What's wrong with him!" Lucy cried out, "We were hunting down the location of Cursed Apple when we were ambushed, Gray was hit with needle rate after he got hit he collapsed, I'm sorry master i have failed the guild and Gray." Dan started to laugh, "Wolfbane Needle, one of my father's strongest poisons." Erza head shot up, in a split second Erza had he sword drawn and at his throat, "Your Dan Veleno, you did this!" Lucy ran at Erza taking her at surprise Erza stumbled back a few steps. "Dan you said before you can use antidote magic, can you help Gray!" Lucy begged tears flowing from her eyes. "I can help him but i need out of this cage." Makarov smashed the cage freeing Dan. "Master!" Erza yelled in disapproval. Dan walked over to Gray who seemed to be fading and fast, "How long ago did this happen?" "About 2 hours ago" Natsu replied, "He doesn't have long then, if this doesn't work then I recommend saying you last goodbyes." the guild fell silent, Lucy wiped her tears away and kissed him for what may be the last time. "I love you Gray." she said softly. "Ok I'll begin," Dan placed his hands over Gray, a glowing light blue magic circle formed over Gray.
