I do not own Fairy Tail.

It belongs to Mashima-sama. I'm just a fan trying to make a story about my OTP!

(Miss Author popping confetti everywhere! "My baby is ALIVE!")

ΩΩΩ

Cold sweat ran from Wendy's forehead down her cheeks as her hands keep on glowing over Juvia's wound. She didn't know what happened but she's sure that whatever came upon the water mage was the reason why a certain raven haired ice mage from Fairy Tail was in rage and seeking blood. The sight of the battle field was frightening and the sound of shattering ice and screaming people that she could hear through her Dragon Slayer enhanced hearing were sickening. The war itself was ugly and sudden turns of events turned it more horrible than ever.

Wendy is young and maybe not as powerful as those who were older than her but she's willing to give her best to save her comrade not only for Juvia's own sake but for the sake of one Gray Fullbuster's sanity. He could not go on rampaging like what he was already doing because it's dangerous not only for the enemies but for everyone in the vicinity.

"Calm your nerves girl," Carla scolded her when her hands shook. "I know this is terrible but I don't feel any nasty feeling about Juvia's condition. She would be fine."

"But she's not breathing!"

Well, that's true. When they found the water mage she was lying motionless on the ground, not breathing but not completely lifeless. Something's wrong about her condition and that's what they need to find out.

"She's still too cold."

ΩΩΩ

Light.

There's only light in the place where she is and it's blinding. Where am I? She asked herself as she tried to lift herself from the ground. Oddly, she felt no pain when she could clearly remember that she was on a great deal of pain before she lost consciousness on the war soon.

That's it! She was on the war zone where hundreds of bloodied bodies including hers were lying motionless on the ground and there were chaos everywhere. What happened to her? How did she ended up in a place full of light and there's nothing else she could see but white. Where are the mages fighting against the soldiers of Alvarez?

Where is Gray-sama?

The last time she saw him he was wounded because he tried to take his own life for her which she also did. She performed a Blood Transfusion spell with the last ounce of her power which would probably lead her to her death.

Her eyes widened with the thought. Could it that Juvia is already dead? Is this place the afterlife? Heaven or perhaps the place where Juvia would be judged if she is to go to heaven or hell? Thoughts ran wild in her head as she tried to figure out her situation. If she's dead, thus that means she succeeded in reviving Gray with her Water Make: Blood?

At least Gray-sama is safe. It doesn't matter if Juvia is dead.

"Do you really think it does not matter at all?"

Loud gasp escaped her mouth when a masculine voice suddenly spoke behind her. That voice was familiar and when she turned around she was shock to see Silver Fullbuster with all his glory standing in front of her. "Father-sama!?"

"Hello there, Gray's woman," he greeted cheekily. "How have you been?"

Juvia's face flushed crimson red. "F-father-sama was mistaken. J-Juvia is not Gray-sama's w-woman." But how Juvia wished she could be, she wanted to add but choose not to. "Juvia had been good," she said instead. "Where are we, Father-sama? Is Juvia dead? Is this the place where dead people reside?"

"Hmmm, you can say that," Silver replied. "But I have to ask you, why are you here? Ain't you suppose to be somewhere taking care of my son like what you promised?"

"I-Juvia did take care of Gray-sama," she exclaimed. "But Juvia ran out of choice. It was the only way. Gray-sama was dying. He was bleeding and Juvia had to do something! It was for his welfare. Juvia took care of him even if it caused Juvia her life."

"I see. No need to be so worked up," he said patting her head. "I guess I should thank you for that. But do you really think it was for his welfare? Thus your death guaranteed his life of happiness or another one of his long life misery?"

"Wh—"

"I was watching from the other side. I can't help it. I want to watch my son and from what I saw, he seemed to care too much about you. Didn't you just leave him more broken than healed?"

"Juvia don't understand."

Silver sighed and eyed the young woman standing in front of him. The one who unleashed the sleeping darkness that he left within his son, his precious son. "What did he say to you before you departed Juvia?"

It took her some time to recall what happened and what was said in the battle field but when she did remember them, sadness flooded her. "But I had no other choice. There were only two options. Gray-sama's life or Juvia's and Juvia would always choose Gray-sama even if she has to sacrifice herself."

"And that's what he hates the most," another voice said and a woman with short black hair and kind eyes popped out from nowhere. "He never liked it when people choose to die for him. it always leave him scarred and shattered."

"U-Ur-sama?"

"Hello Juvia Lockser."

"H-ho – Juvia is really dead."

"Yes. That is if you choose to remain so." Ur stated enigmatically.

"What do you mean?"

"Juvia, do you wanna see him? Do you wanna see Gray?" Ur offered.

"O-Of course! But how?"

She smiled and took her hands in hers. "I can show you the other side but that's all I can do. The rest is up to you."

"Go with her," Silver interjected. "I'll just be off for a minute to fetch someone. I'll be back in a bit. We all need to move in a hurry for Gray."

Confused with all that the two older mages were saying, Juvia let Ur lead her in a place that was not very different from where they stood earlier. It's still full of light and there's nothing else there but white surrounding like they were walking on endless clouds. They halted after a minute or so of walking and Juvia found herself staring on a big translucent mirror like object that was floating in the air.

She caught he breath when Gray's face suddenly appeared in the mirror like object like she's watching him like a movie playing on a lacrima TV. "Gray-sama," she whispered weakly with unshed tears. He's fine and fighting once more. He's alive but there's something wrong.

"What is going on? Why is Gray-sama acting like a mad man? He looks like... He looks so different but the same."

Ur's hand landed on her shoulder. "He's lost and his darkness is taking over his senses. This is what your death did to him. You gave him life but killed the light inside him. He is no more than a demon craving for devastation. He desires nothing now but death of those who will be stupid enough to stand his way."

"No! Gray-sama is not like that!"

"He is now."

She could not say anything. She just watched as Gray beat the shit out of Invel and freeze any Alvarez soldiers who tried to help their general. He would freeze then shutter them into nothingness. Please, Gray-sama. Get a grip of who you are. We are Fairy Tail. We don't kill even our enemies and never hurt defenceless people.

"Now Juvia, do you still think you did the right thing?"

There was no answer but cries. Did she really turn him into a monster? Who would stop him now? Where are the members of Fairy Tail? Ain't no one would try to go and stop him? "What should Juvia do now?"

"Go back."

"What?"

"Return to the living while you still got time. While you can still pull him back."

"But how?"

Ur smiled to her. "It's all up to you. Do you have enough will to go through the boundaries of living and dead and go back to where you truly belong?"

"Juvia will do anything for Gray-sama."

The older woman smiled again. "I wish I had the same determination to go back when I was the one in your shoes. I am glad Gray found someone like you who care not about life and death but only love. Your sheer determination to live will lead you back home with him." there was joy in Ur's eyes as she enclosed Juvia in a tight hug. "Go back to him and never waste your life thinking that it is what is best for him. If you want him to be happy don't die for him, always choose to live for him. Live for those you love."

Juvia smiled back at her. "Juvia will." She would go back and live for him and will never again die in his arms.

"That's it girl," Ur replied cheerfully. "Now if Gray won't listen just give him some good smacks on the head that always work."

"If I have a say, it would be better if you would put a leash on his neck," a playful feminine voice caused Juvia to twirl around. "If he is anything like his father that would be the best way to make him do as you say." A beautiful woman beside Silver said.

Juvia need not to guess who the woman was. There's no doubt that she was Gray's mother, Mika. The woman who Gray said to be so kind in his memories. A gentle woman with nothing but love to give. "Mother-sama."

"Hello Juvia Lockser," Mika greeted with a kind smile. "It's a pleasure to meet the woman who melted the ice around my son's heart."

Once again Juvia's face flushed. She can't think of anything to say and she was not given a chance to think at all as gentle arms wrapped around her. "Thank you for everything you did for my Gray," Mika whispered in her ears and for the first time Juvia felt no animosity towards someone claiming Gray to be hers. "Please always look after him. Fill his heart with love since we can no longer do that for him. Love him to the point there's no more gaping hole in his heart. Seal his darkness Juvia."

Juvia felt hot tears falling on her shoulders and could not help her own tears to fall. "M-Mother-sama, you need not to worry. Gray-sama will be alright. Juvia's not the only one who will fill his heart with love. Fairy Tail will always be there for Gray-sama. He has a home to go back and a family that cares for him."

Mika smiled once more as she cupped Juvia's face. "I'm glad to hear that. Now you must hurry. Time is running out. Gray needs you back so go back to him."

"Hai!"

ΩΩΩ

Hello minna! How are you? I was too lazy to write anything the past few days that I completely neglected my unfinished works and I am so sorry for that.

For now I am just so glad that Juvia is alive according to the spoilers and I'm still waiting for the official update.

Since I'm feeling motivated, there might be updates soon in my other stories 'The Never Ending Tale', 'Midnight Memories' and 'Please Stay' defending on how busy my week will turn out but I'm starting my Monday with this one so please let me know what you think of it by dropping a review.

Yours Truly,
