Hey Guys! Milafox here with… that's right! The new chapter of the story *Huzzah!* And guys and gals, im sooooo sorry that its taken like… a month or something to finally get this chapter done but I am here now and im back in action so hopefully this awesome chapter can make up for it!

Disclaimer – I don't own Fairy Tail, but I proudly own the story c:

Pain

All I can feel is pain. Help me, kill me, and put me out of my misery. Pain is all I feel.

Confusion

I'm confused. Confusion is all I feel. I am confused of who I love and like, I need help. I am confused

I am in agonizing pain as I lie, face down into the dirty soil that held up this town. I watch as people scream and burn as they try to get out of the flaming houses. I was once told that fire was life, the flames will decrease and increase as of human emotions will. I was told that flames were peaceful and gentle, like the ocean. But now, all I see is the smoke from the houses that children were born in and old men have made sturdy. I hear the rasp and harsh cackling of the man that has his boot on me, the man that I know will end me. I am not afraid though. I was never afraid, because I knew. I knew that one day I would die and I would die doing something I loved; in this case being with my old friend and having a wail of a time. My head throbs in pain as I breathe in the smell of the charred town that once stood tall and proud, and remember when Lyon and I were kids and training with Ur, our sensei. Honestly, I didn't think I would end up like this, I mean charred and buried in the ground. I would laugh at the irony if my ribs were not crushed and shattered, I mean honestly, an ice mage of Fairy Tail, the strongest guild of all, burnt to a crisp! I guess this is what happens when a person is honest eh? I don't regret it, I don't regret telling Master about my "secret" or about Erza finding out. I would rather have Erza find out rather then that idiot flame brain Natsu. Oh Fairy Tail, how I miss them already, I miss all the fights and all the arguments. I felt tears roll down my blackened and bloody cheeks as I imagine the guild making speeches at my grave and crying over the fallen ice mage. The ice dragon slayer, the legend, the prophecy, the one and only…. They were wrong, I was normal like everyone else right? This can't be the end. I feel my cheeks start to wet as I cry at my uselessness. This can't be the end because it isn't. I am smart for my age, I was always told that, and for once I kind of agree. My world darkens as I feel my eyelids droop down, and suddenly everything is quiet. No more screaming, no more rash cackling, no sound. All I hear is the steady and soft heartbeat and easy, calm deep breaths.

Thump, Thump, Thump

I feel my power restore as I relax and let my body take over my movements.

"Don't think, feel"

I feel it

"You don't feel emotion, all you feel…"

All I feel…

"Is justice"

I feel energy and I seek vengeance. Vengeance for those who have fallen under this man, the man that is trembling in fear and I rise with soulless eyes.

"I feel nothing but justice" I repeat aloud as the words slowly corrupt my mind.

"I seek vengeance for those who have fallen under the masked man of cruelty, the man that stands before me now…" I say aloud, without thought or feeling I attack. I can feel the familiar energy course through my veins with greed and eagerness to take the man's life. I can feel myself slipping into the dark and corrupted world but something holds me back, someone perhaps? No, it isn't possible… I can feel my energy being taken away and I see my vision regaining itself as I hear the voice that I have heard since I was just a boy, I feel a hand wrapped around my wrist, the one that holds me back from the vengeance I seek. But no, I feel emotion again, I feel happiness overwhelm me and I hear the voices and feel the arms and hands that wrap around my broken body. My family was here, and my family was going to stay here, here at my side to help me through my toughest conflicts. I see the man broken and crushed on the ground but still alive. Something wanted him dead, I could feel it inside me, but I refused, I couldn't let my family see me like that…. Like the monster I am inside. I feel my legs collapse beneath me and before I know it, I hear my name being called and my world fading into a dark abyss of unconsciousness.

"Gray!"

"Gray! Stay with us!"

"Don't die on me bastard!"

"Stay alive Gray…"

The last voice I recognize before I fell into a unconsciousness was of the scarlet haired girl, the one I fell head over heels for since the day she had first joined the guild. Since we were kids I had always liked her, but over the years my love for her grows like a rose in the spring… a scarlet rose, with the thorns to protect her. But the bee always gets through her defense eh? The bee gets through the armor over her heart and shows her the love that she had never experienced before, the love of a family and… the love of a boy perhaps eh?

Well guys, I hope that is enough for you (At the moment at least). I want you guys to know that I really appreciate you guys for sticking with me all this time, and I really put my heart and soul into this chapter (For once being serious eh?). I hope you enjoy and I will have another chapter out soon, trust me it won't be a month this time! But until next time I will see you guys later… BYYYEEE!
