It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining brightly. It was warm but not to warm and the wind was blowing very peacefully. It was like the world was shining at the people and told them to enjoy life for a day. And the Fairy tail mages did that. Nobody went on a mission. Erza wanted to have a picknick and made her whole team tag along. they were sitting right under a big tree by the river. And even Gray who's peace had been gone for a long while was enjoying it. It had been a while since he was able to rest without the voices in his head making him literally crazy.
The last weeks were pretty bad. He was wondering whenever he was haunted or not. The picknick they where having existed out of one strawberry cake. Erza gave one slice to everyone and told them to share it fairly and of course, the rest of the cake was all hers. After his very small piece of strawberry cake, the ice-mage decided to lay down and close his eyes for a second. In the last few weeks sleep wasn't really an option so he decided to use his very short moment of peace and he closed his eyes. And in only a moment he fell as sleep.
But too bad that sleep wasn't peace. Because he was there again in the black world with the male voice telling him the exact same words again. "Don't ignore the sound don't try to turn it out but listen" "Don't ignore the sound don't try to turn it out but listen" "Listen" Gray looked around him to him if he could place a face with this voice but he saw nothing except the darkness of the black world. "Leave me alone" The raven haired mage yelled and with that his dream ended and his eyes stormed open in fear.
"Gray?" Natsu said with a worried tone. "Where are you having a nightmare?" Gray looked around to see the worried looks of his whole team. "Sorry, It was just a nightmare." "Its okay you don't have to apologize, You just shocked us," Erza said Gray smiled "Yea I don't even remember what it was about so it was really nothing" The ice mage lied. "I need to buy food for dinner tonight" Lucy interrupted. She smiled as she waved us goodbye. Erza said that the boys should stay in until the sunset so they could all watch it together. But she ended being mad Because Her beautiful sunset was ruined By Natsu's and Gray's arguing.
After Erza beat up the two boys She and Natsu left to the guild. But Gray decided to go home instead. He thought of what the voice in his dream said and decided to listen to what the voiced said. Maybe then it would finally stop. And when he almost arrived home he heard it again. It was the exact same voice he heard the first time in his house. The sound of someone Crying. But even when he tried to listen there was no useful information to hear. He remembered his window breaking down last time so he ran to his window to see if maybe he could hear more if he was there. He stood by his Window and tried to hear whatever it was that he needed to hear to make it stop. He put his hand on the window in the hope that that would do it and finally together with the Crying He heard another voice. This time a male voice but it wasn't talking to him "We should call 911 Don't worry honey you be fine they will save you, I won't let you die"
Was someone in danger? Was that it? But where ? Where did he need to go to help them. "Common Gray concentrate you can figure this out someone can die if you don't figure this out." He told himself and as he tried to concentrate he saw images flashing through his head he saw a green house with broken windows and hearts painted on the walls. He knew that place it was a house near the woods it was 30 minutes from here. He walked past it a million times already. He ran there. Maybe he was going Crazy But maybe he could save a life today. Maybe he would finally feel useful.
He didn't know how long it took him. But he arrived there and saw the house with the windows broken and walked it in the hope of saving those people of whatever it was that had hurt them.
Maybe he should have told Wendy so she could heal them but he was so busy trying to figure out what the hell was going on that he completely forgot those people would need healing as soon as possible. And he finally arrived inside Only to find two dead body's A man probably a father and a small girl in his arms. The whole room was filled with blood. And the windows where shattered. The glass was spread over the whole room. And bullets could be found on the floor.
The blood was fresh. and there were still tears on the girl's cheeks. It looked like they were both shot more than once they both had a huge head injury too. Whoever did this Had shown no mercy? This wasn't just a normal murder this was more then just cruel. Only a monster could have done such a thing. The person who did this enjoyed every second of it. Gray used his lacrima to call 9111 when they arrived he told them he heard the sound of gun shot's and came to see what was going on. They believed him and even gave the ie mage a ride home.
The ride home was silent. The women from 9111 noticed the sad looks of the ice mage. "You could have stopped it, you don't have to feel guilty." Gray looked her in the eye"Maybe if I arrived a little sooner they would have been alive." The mage said with a sad tone. "You couldn't have known earlier, so how could you have been there earlier, It's okay to be sad what you just saw was horrible. But don't feel responsible" She stopped the car. "This is your house, right?" Gray nodded and left the car "Thanks for the ride home he said."
"you welcome, And don't take it to personal you can't save every life."
Gray walked into his home. He was broken. 2 perfect lives were lost today. How could such a beautiful day be so cruel. He started hitting his wall while cruising out every bad word he could think of and when his energy was finally gone. He kneeled down in front of the wall and started crying. Why couldn't he save them? If stopped trying to fight these voices sooner maybe he would have found those two people before they where dead.
And what was this? What the hell was going on. If he had some kind of new superpower they should just give it to Erza or Natsu at least they would have saved the people he thought. Gray didn't stop crying that night even in his sleep the tears kept on falling. Guilt was a strong feeling. Of course, he didn't need to feel guilty. Who the hell would have figured out what to do in his situation. Most people wouldn't even have found the bodies. But yet the ice mage felt responsible. But at least he thought that after tonight the voices would despair but that thought was far from right.
