Chapter 3

She opened her eyes and the first thing that she saw was ice.

She smiled weakly.

'Gray.'

...

Gray stood with his back facing his comrades. A sword made of ice in one hand and the other balled into fists which in a few seconds met with Isaac's face. The old man lost his balance and stumbled backward. All the dark mages were shocked to discover another Fairy Tail wizard. They had never anticipated this.

With one swift movement Gray broke the magical wall inside which his friends were trapped. The wall shattered into millions of pieces like it was made of glass. Gray assumed that the wall was only breakable from the outside seeing that it had shattered with one blow.

" Gray!" Lucy and Happy cried in relief, tears welling up in their eyes.

" Nice going droopy eyes." Natsu smiled goofily.

Gray could only smile back. He was glad that his friends were alright . He glanced upon Erza and his eyes immediately softened. She smiled weakly at him. He just gave her a stern nod as if trying to tell her something. He then turned his attention back to the dark mages. Natsu stood beside him, an unreadable expression was etched on his face. He lunged forward and punched Isaac hard on the face.

" You messed with the wrong people."

Within minutes the entire dark guild was defeated. Dark mages lay on the ground unconscious , taken down by ice shards, some burnt and some taken down by swords. Their Master was no where to be found.

"That...was so close." Lucy sweat dropped . "If it hadn't been for Gray we would have been goners by now."

" Aye!" replied Happy flying on top of Gray.

" Tch! I could have beaten then up myself." Natsu said casually.

" Yeah my ass. You people were as good as dead if it wasn't for me." Gray boasted.

"you asking for a fight ice popsicle?"

" bring it on flame brain!"

" Oh boy there they go again." Lucy and Happy face palmed.

"Well I told you people that it was a trap didn't I?" Gray said with a bit of anger and annoyance. Well if it wasn't for the numerous missions he had been on these past few days then even he couldn't make out if it was a trap. Something quite similar happened on his last mission so he was all heads up for this one.

Gray noticed Erza looking at him from a distance. He turned to face her. She looked like she was feeling guilty about something. Guilt was quite evident in her eyes. It wasn't that hard to distinguish since she always kept a straight face. She slowly approached him. She looked at the ground unable to face him. She knew it was all her fault for not listening to him.

" I'm sorry." She said in a voice so low Gray had to strain his ears to hear. He managed a small smile. " It's fine."

" So we should get going then guys before it gets too late. I mean there isn't even a proper place to stay ." Lucy said.

" Yeah and I'm also hungry." Natsu whined. Lucy just sighed in annoyance. She looked at Gray. He looked a little worn out. He was rubbing his forehead and he had a strained look etched on his face.

"Hey Gray...are you alright?" Lucy asked, concerned about her friend. He was fine just a few minutes ago.

Gray suddenly felt pain shoot through his head. His head felt quite heavy. He rubbed his temples trying to get rid of the feeling. He tried walking but his feet felt quite numb. His sight became blurry and his knees started to wobble.

'Shit!'

"Hey Gray what's wrong ?" Erza asked. Worry slowly creeping into her face.

"I'm fine...just a-" Gray fell on his knees. He gripped his hair in frustration. His head was hurting him like a thousand devils. He winced in pain.

"Oi ice princess what's wrong?" Natsu tried staying calm but was worried as well. Erza rushed to his help but was stopped midway.

"G-get away!" Gray screamed. He didn't know why but he felt anger boiling inside of him. He couldn't think straight. He couldn't think anymore. He felt all sorts of negative emotions creep into him. " Get...AWAY!"

"Gray! What-"

"You've lost him." Erza spun around quickly to that voice. She knew it too well. She narrowed her eyes at him.

" What do you mean!"

Isaac laughed hysterically. " Oh poor Fairies, the moment he showed up I cast a forbidden spell on him. Forbidden and lost magic. It works minutes after casting the spell." He smiled devilishly. He had escaped when the rest of the guild was defeated. But to imagine that he had cast a spell on Gray, no one expected this.

"Natsu held him by the collar and glared at him. " What kind of spell bastard!"

Isaac simply smiled bitterly. " It just turns him into one of my men. A dark wizard. It allows me to manipulate his mind, in other words it allows darkness to manipulate his mind.

Erza's eyes went wide at his statement.

"W-what..." She questioned, slowly trying to take in what Isaac had just said.

" Exactly what you heard Titania. Gray from now on bears hatred towards Fairy Tail. He will be nothing less than a killer dark wizard and also will be nothing less than an enemy for you all Fairy wizards." He laughed hysterically. " He'll just destroy Fairy tail for us."

Erza's eyes went wide with anger. She armed herself with her sword and charged in towards Isaac but was however stopped but, the thing that stopped her shocked her the most.

Ice.

Gray blocked her aim. He shoved her away harshly and looked at her with disgust and hatred. Erza's world shattered into a million pieces. Never had Gray looked at her in that way. She was frozen, more like glued to the spot. Gray just pushed her aside harshly. Erza stumbled and fell backwards.

" Gray! What are you doing?! That is Erza. Snap out of it!" Lucy screamed.

Gray turned towards her. " I know who she is Lucy." Erza felt tears in the corners of her eye. ' He knows who I am...and yet...hates me.'

" That's it Gray! Destroy them!" Isaac laughed. That was the last ever heard from him because the next sight that everyone saw was an ice sword pierced through his neck.

Natsu stayed frozen in shock. Gray would never kill anyone even if they were enemies.

Lucy covered her mouth with her hands in disbelief and Erza just watched on...a blank expression on her face.

"G-ray..." Natsu's voice shook with fright. Yes, Natsu was scared. Not for themselves but he was scared for Gray. He was scared for his nakama.

" I said get away!" Gray said with his voice full of venom.

"Gray wait-" Gray's fist met with Natsu's face. Natsu fell backward. Lucy rushed to Natsu's help.

" Gray please stop!" She cried, tears streaming down her face, her voice pleading.

However Gray did not bother, he started walking towards the dark guild's ship which looked a lot like Christina of Blue Pegasus. He boarded the ship and looked back at the others. His expression unreadable.

Natsu quickly got up and started running towards the ship. Lucy did the same. As the ship rose above the ground. It created a tornado of dust and sand. The ground began to shake like before. It blinded Natsu and the others. They were unable to make out what was happening. They could hear the ship take off slowly. Natsu shielded his eyes and tried moving but in vain.

The tornado gradually subsided. When Natsu and Lucy opened their eyes, they noticed the ship with Gray in it missing. But their most shocking discovery was that Erza was also missing.
