Gray opened his eyes only to see nothing. He was lying on a bed with bandages all over his body. The pain that his injuries had caused was a bit better than before. "Where am I?" Gray thought
He tried to remember what the last thing was that he did." The sound of someone singing and his windows and then what happened then, Erza found him that's it, He must be in the infirmary. He heard footsteps coming closer and closer someone was coming in. The door opened and Gray who was curious lifted his head to see who it was. "Hey take it easy and don't move your head to mutch" "Natsu?" "Yea it's me looks like your head still works" Natsu smiled gently and took a chair and placed it next to the bed "Why are the lights out," The ice mage said.
"You have a concussion, you have to stay in a darkroom for a while" The fire mage explained. "Who the hell did this to you, Gray?" Gray looked with a confused look "I don't know, I can't remember" "Apparently that's normal with a head injury like yours. What's the last thing you do remember?" "I woke up like this somewhere in the woods, I crawled home to sleep it off but strange things happened" "I heard from Erza that were saying weird stuff before you fainted but it didn't make sense you said your windows broke but there fine" "It must have been the concussion" Gray replied " Probably" Natsu tried to think he wanted to know who did it it wasn't like he cared about Gray our anything but hurt a fairy tail member and you will pay. He definitely didn't care, okay maybe a little he admitted to himself. Maybe he did care a lot but it was normal Gray was like his brother.
"And before that, what were you doing do you remember that?" Natsu asked concerned "Drinking in a cafe" Gray replied "Which cafe" "The one near the train station" Natsu stood up "Go rest you need it" and he ran off. He was probably going to the cafe to find answers. Gray wanted to go to but he wasn't really in the condition for it. He felt weak and he didn't like it all that Natsu or anyone saw him like that
Nastu walked into the Cafe where Gray had been the night he got hurt but it was nothing more than an empty Cafe. nothing looked suspicious. Nastu wondered whenever Gray got hurt there our after.
There was a woman standing behind the bar.
She greeted him with a smile and asked him what he wanted to drink. He ordered lemonade she had blonde hair like Lucy and beautiful blue eyes. Her lips where pink and she couldn't stop smiling. She looked completely innocent. But Natsu questioned her anyway maybe her looks where deceiving our maybe she knew something. "my friend was here last night and after that, he got hurt really badly. I wanna know what happened did you see anything? He has da... " "Dark raven hair and blue eyes. " She cut him off.
"Do you know what happened?" Natsu asked angerly. "No... But I saw him last night. And I think I could have stopped it I'm sorry" the blonde said while she was trembling. "What do you mean?" "Yesterday he got sick out of nowhere, it was strange he looked totally out of it some guy came and said he knew him and help him get home. " "What did he look like?"
"I don't know. I'm sorry I thought it was weird but I didn't react to it" "Thanks for the information."
Natsu left the Cafe he was thinking about what could have happened. The ice mage was probably drugged that would explain getting sick out of nowhere and memory loss. The man who took him must have been the one who did it. But what now? He was at a dead end with this case
Gray tried to stand his injuries were a little better know. His head was still killing him. But that's probably Normal for a concussion. "Gray" a voice whispered behind him. He thought it was someone from the guild and turned around in a reflex but fell on the ground because of his injuries. He raised his head to see who called out his name only to see no one. The sound of singing started again and just like before it got louder and louder.
It's you again" Gray said "leave me alone" but the sound just got louder and louder his head was about to explode. And just like the first time he passed out."
Everything was dark it was like he was in a black hole. Gray looked around to see where he was. He realized he was unconscious. Kinda weird to dream and know it's just all an illusion but yet at the same time a dream never felt so real before in his life. "Gray" a voice kept on shouting out his name. But this time it was a male voice.
Don't ignore the sound don't try to turn it out but listen. And in a flash, the dream was over and his eyes opened. The first thing he realized is that he was on the bed again. Someone must have found him unconscious. When he turned to the left he saw Natsu sitting next to his bed. "So you finally woke up?" He said with a smile. "Finally? How long was I out" "2 years," the fire mage said. Gray frowned "And in 2 years no one changed to blankets in the bed? God they must stink" Gray said with a smile. "Okay 2 days the fire mage said with a smile". 2 days looked more like it but it was still very long his strange dream only lasted for like 5 seconds.
"can't believe I was out for 2 days..." the ice mage said. " Hey, Gray do you really not remember a thing of that night?" Gray looked confused at Natsu "No I'm sorry, there is a black hole in my memory" "I went to the Cafe to find out something, you got sick all of the sudden and someone left with you who apparently pretend you where friends. Maybe you were drugged." "who would drink me to beat me up when I'm unconscious?" the ice mage answered. "that takes al the fun of beating someone up away" Natsu stared and thought "Maybe it was someone weak, with no magic our someone who thought you were too strong." "maybe," Gray said while he put his hand on his head his headache was killing him. "You okay,?" Natsu said. "yeah I just need some sleep"
Natsu frowned "you just slept for 2 days". "It's normal for him to be tired right now" Erza interrupted "How are you feeling Gray?" "fine just tired and a headache" "Good anything else? The Scarlet haired mage replied. For just a second Gray thought of mentioning the voices and the strange dream. But they probably felt enough pity for him already so he decided to stay silent."Well you should rest" Erza said while she dragged Natsu out of the room with her
A few weeks past even though Team Natsu and other Fairy tail members had tried, nobody even got close to knowing what happened that night. And after Gray healed and started walking around like normally finding out became less important. And things got back to normal. But not for Gray he thought he was going mad. Because of something he didn't even know that he needed to have. Silence. The voices they followed him everywhere. There was no rest at all and when he finally had a small piece of silence he saw something that just couldn't be real. He looked fine, he looked like the old Gray but he was about to explode on the inside
