Here's another chapter, hope it did seem too long to make. I had some trouble uploading this so it's a bit late. Anyway, enough of my rambling, hope you enjoy the chapter.
He breathed! My Grey-sama breathed! I was felt so overjoyed I could die! Although that would be pretty ironic.
Anyway I should probably put all the dirt back, I kinda don't want to get in trouble. I should do it quickly to, don't want Grey-sama to get a cold or anything.
I placed Grey-sama down and started burying the hole back to how it was and quickly put the shovel back in the shed. After that I picked up Grey-sama and started walking back to our home.
Now it did look a bit wired of me just carrying my husband like this, what could I say if someone told me and got suspicious? 'Oh, my husband was drinking a bit too much and passed out, Juvia's just helping him get home.' Yeah, that sounds good. Though he still looks really pale, but I think it could work anyway.
I wonder if I should tell anyone though, like Gajeel-kun or a close friend of Grey-sama like Lyon. Wait no, I can't they either know of his death or where at the funeral. They would be question about how I did it and I feel like it might not be a good idea to tell them about that Zeref guy.
Soon I walked into our home, it did feel nice to now know I can truly be at home with Grey-sama back, even if I was soaked by the rain.
It was pretty late, looking about midnightish from what I could tell. I just placed Grey-sama on the bed and went to change into some dry cloths to sleep in. Overall I think that Zeref guy made my day after seeing his wired spell thing actually worked. Even for a guy who looked like the devil in away, actually helping feels releaving.
I slipped into bed setting my alarm and getting settled in the bed. I smiled as I closed my eyes glad to see my Grey-sama breath again.
In the morning the alarm went off with its loud beeping as usual. With a groan I got up and turned it off, I still was tired from last night. The combination of digging a grave late at night while in the rain made me want to at least sleep for another 12 hours. Oh well at least I have Grey-sama to wake up and see.
"Good morning Grey-sama..." I said turning to see him not there. His side of the bed was a mess, maybe waking from the dead isn't a pleasant wake up. I probably just didn't notice being really tired and he's just in the living room or something waiting for me. Then I heard a wrestling noise coming from the kitchen.
I went to go to the kitchen to check it out. To my surprise it was Grey-sama. Although I also found another surprise, the kitchen being a mess. There where boxes and leftovers of food all over the floor and just about any surface.
Grey-sama looked pale still and had no color in his eyes, but they obviously didn't seem dead though. He was hunched over and sorta looked like a confused animal. Also being Grey-sama he was half-naked, that made sense.
"G-Grey-sama! What are you doing?" I asked him confused with such odd behavior from. I mean he isn't the neatest, but he doesn't make messes like this. "Your making a mess and wasting all this food. I understand that your hungry after not eating all day, being dead and all."
He just looked at me as if I was just speaking nonsense. Grey-sama proceed to move on to the fridge, which looked like he had raided a few times already.
Why would he be doing this? Is this like some sort of revive shock thing?
Well whatever it is I can't just let him wonder around the house all day like this. By the time I'd come back it would probably be a dump. That's also considering if he only stays in the house and not wonder off.
Wait, I think I got something! I picked up some meat that was on the floor, it didn't seem eaten that much, a few bites only. "Grey-sama, oh Grey-sama, I've got some food for you." I said slowly luring him to follow me. I lead him into the basement, in there he wouldn't be able to do much to the house or to himself. I can think of what to do about him later, right now I really need to get to work, don't want to be late twice in a row.
I drove to work, this time on time. As I was checking in the office I saw Gajeel-kun with his fedora on, which meant he was probably going to go out and researching a story or something. He has worked to try to to get on camera to give his reports, instead of just writing them.
"Hello Gajeel-kun, you got some sorta story or something?" I asked because he was wearing his fedora, I like to call it his 'Reporter Fedora'.
"Yeah, a local high school baseball team having a real good year so far, they are basically undefeated." he said like it was nothing, either he didn't care about the team or he wanted to do a different sport to cover.
"What school is it?" I asked, not knowing much about sports. I was more of the nerd type that would stay away from physical games. They just weren't that fun for me.
"It's the Summer Salamanders, or something." he shrugged, giving me more of the sign he didn't care about the sport. "Anyway how are you doing?" Gajeel-kun asked casually.
I was a bit confused thinking he'd be more in hurry to get to the story. "Better... Don't you have to get to that school to make that report?" I asked
"I've got sometime for small talk. Besides you probably still have it rough right now." he said concerned for me, like he was yesterday.
"Actually-" I cut myself off from what I was going to say. I was about to slip out what I did last night. Good thing I caught myself or he's think I'd be crazy or something. "Actually I'm slowly getting better, now if you excuse me I have to get to work." I told him walking as calmly as I could, though most likely looked like a nervous reack.
When I got on my computer, starting my work, the first ting I thought of was how was Grey-sama was doing. He must be so lonely and confused down in the basement. Though why was he acting like that in the kitchen this morning? Maybe it's some sort of supernatural side effect Zeref 'forgot' to tel me about.
Either way I just hope he's ok, even with that odd behavior this morning, it was only once. One time, and it was right after he woke up from death, it just must be hard to wake up from that's all. I bet that's it, once I get home everything will be fine. He'd be normal, life would be normal, everything would be normal. Although it would be hard to explain how he's alive again.
Ugh, I just need to not think about that too much, just focus on work Juvia, can't be that hard right now. Let's see how the weather's going to be.
I looked over the computer alnlasing the chances of what kind of weather would happen this week. I saw a lot of cold air and cloudy weather up for the week. High chances of rain to boot, just great. At least when I get home Grey-sama should be there to make up for it, make things less gloomy. Well that is if Grey-sama is back to normal by then.
Ugh! I'm thinking about him again, I just need to clear my head and work. Just work, work like a be Juvia. The weather doesn't care about Grey-sama, even if he is your husband.
After finishing work and going back to the office to check out of work, Mr. Loke walked in. As usual he had a standard business suit, red tie, glasses that almost looked like sunglasses, and his ginger hair spiked "Hey, Juvia, can I have a talk to you?" He asked me "It's not like yesterday, this one is more of a casual talk, okay?"
I was sorta confused to why Mr. Loke would ask to have a normal talk when I was about to go home. I really need to cheek on Grey-sama and see how he's doing. He must be miserable in the basement, being stuck there all day. "What would you like to talk about, Mr. Loke?" I asked sorta not wanting this to take to long.
"Please, call me Leo." He insisted "I just want to say that you've been doing good for what you just dealt with. Trust me, I've seen someone close to me die before and I've felt your grief. Although it does impress me that your strong enough to keep working as if life was normal. Other then yesterday morning I noticed you haven't let this get in the way of your work. Honestly I couldn't work for at least a week after something that tragic happening in my life." Mr. Loke put his hand on my shoulder and said "Thanks for your strength so far, I wish I could have that sometimes when in depression. If you ever need help from me about this, don't be afraid to come up to me and ask for help."
"O-ok, Mr. Lo- I mean Leo." I said not knowing how to respond, I mean Mr. Loke is a kind boss, but I wasn't expecting him to offer this to me.
"Well, you should get going, I've held you back long enough." Mr. Loke said patting my shoulder and letting me go.
It was raining again as I went inside my car and took a deep breath. "Juvia wishes she really had the strength Mr. Loke thinks Juvia has." I said thinking about his words. I wasn't really strong, I was just lucky in finding Zeref and get a 'Get Out of Jail for Free' card with death for Grey-sama. Just a cheater of death.
Though what would I say to him? First he was praising me so I could really refuse it, I need the self-esteem boosts. Second, what would I have told him? I met some creepy guy on the street and returned my husband from the dead? He would think I'm crazy or take back his statement thinking I'm in denial.
I let out a sigh and start the car. I should just go home and see how Grey-sama is doing, he's been in that dark basement all day. His probably just confused that's all.
When I got home the first thing I did was head for the basement. However the moment I opened the door I could hear a kind of scream coming from the basement. This made me worried. What was going on down there?
Slowly I get the key for the basement and walk down to it. The close I got the more the screams started to sound sorta despite, as if it knew I was coming and wanted to get out of his cage. When I got in front of the basement door I could hear him scratching the door.
"Um, are you ok there Grey-sama?" I asked. Grey-sama only gave a big scream, like I was taunting him.
"Shh, it's ok Grey-sama, just calm down and we'll just get on our way to get everything back to normal, ok?" I asked him, trying to confer him, since he sounded distressed. Grey-sama only gave another despite sounding scream.
"Well I'm just going to open the door, alright? So just calm down and we can get things settled." I told him trying to hide my fear of what Grey-sama was right now. Whatever it was it didn't act like him.
I slowly unlocked the door and he went silent. Cautiously I grabbed the nob of the door and started turning it open.
The moment I had a crack open he was trying to rush out of the small entry. He was very aggressive about escaping. Grey-sama tried to get his hands though the door, often attempting to punch me or the door.
After this started to happen I fought back against him and closed the door as fast as I could and locked it shut.
"Grey-sama, you're not going to get out of there until you calm down. You can't be like that outside and you know that. Now I don't know how it's like in death, but your back in life. You have to realize that and act like a person and not an animal." I told him, not going to let him out other wise. If I did I don't know what I would do with him.
I tried to get him to calm down and get out for about two hours, however all the attempts where the same. Grey-sama being violent when trying escape desperately, struggling to close the door again, and trying to calm him down.
I just couldn't get him to calm down. Maybe I need to wait longer or something.
As I walked back up stairs the screams started again. Each screech of his chilled me, like when looking into Zeref's blood-red eyes.
Before going to bed I went to the kitchen and got him some food and battles of water. I mean he had to be hungry, it could be why he's screaming like that. Maybe he's like a baby right now and can't tell others what he wants. Yeah that's right. Heh, Grey-sama is like my baby know I guess, even if he doesn't seem like him right now.
When going back to the basement I had to go though the same process again. However it was both easier and harder with the food in hand. He focused more on the food then attacking me, but keeping the crack small enough so he didn't try to escape was a hassle.
After feeding him I walked up to the bedroom. I set my alarm and closed my eyes to go to sleep. However not long after I closed my eyes the screaming started again.
I was wondering why. Did the food not completely satisfy him? Did he want to break free? Well whatever it is I just have to wait till morning. It's already late, I need sleep.
Though I need sleep, the screams keep going. I could hardly sleep with him bursting out such loud blood chilling sounds every few seconds.
Things only got worse as days went on. I still haven't let him out of the basement, since he was still acting like a mad animal. Feeding him got harder and harder. He would want more food and it would be more difficult to give it to him without him trying to be violent. His screams got louder and more terrifying each and passing day.
Grey-sama's screaming got so bad, even some of my neighbors could hear it. Now that scared me a lot. What would they do? Try to find out what's making the sounds and why is it in my house. But what would they do if they look over the home? They would find him very quick, but once they open to see what it is... He might escape... I can't let that happen! I can't let him be get out like that and try to rampage the outside.
One day as I was about to enter my house two of my neighbors walked up to me. One was Maco, he had purple hair, a blue shirt, jeans, and a S necklaces. He was accompanied with Wakkaba. He was an Irish looking man with fluffy brown hair, a green shirt with flowers on it, jeans, and his pipe to smoke out of.
"Um, c-can Juvia help you two?" I asked as if I didn't know anything.
"Me and my wife has been hearing loud screams coming from your house, Juvia. We want to know what's going on." Wakkaba explained.
Maco nodded and added in "Yeah, my kid has been growing scared of you and your house thinking your some kind of witch."
Oh what do I do? Do I just show them Grey-sama? If so what would he do? Would he kill them? Break free or something? What if I don't show them? They would only grow suspicious of me and try to see him any, making it worst.
I deiced that honesty would be the best policy here, it would be easier to deal with. "Ok, I'll show you two, follow me." I told them getting into my home.
The two neighbors followed me down into the entrance and they could tell someone was in there. Well it seemed more like some monster then someone.
They seem scared as they neared the basement "What's in there? Some kind of demon?" Wakkaba asked.
I hesitated to answer what was in there, let alone answer the question. "You'll see." I said sounding more dark than I thought it would be.
As I unlocked the door and slowly opened the door I started pushing the two into the basement.
"Hey, what's going on here?" Maco asked in confusion as I pushed them in.
This felt so wrong to do, but they knew. They just knew too much, if they got out they would tell someone and I would get in trouble along with Grey-sama getting put down.
I managed to get the two in the basement. I could hear the scream of my neighbors as I locked the door, I felt like a monster for this.
I walked up stares slowly when I heard the screams stop. However that wasn't what scared me, it was the next noise I heard, chewing.
I turned back walking up to the door cautiously to see if it was what I thought... Sadly it was.
Grey-sama was eating them.
