I've nothing to say except, please forgive what happens to Gray in this chapter. I swear this was written before Mashima-san even killed Gray off in the last arc. This is a side story of what happens to the others after they got captured.

Gray P.O.V

WHAM!

I get punched in the face by some muscle-headed prick. I can feel the blood draining from my mouth. Forced to taste the metallic liquid, I spat some out on the side and smirk at my attacker. A layer of rope is tied around my body, keeping me confined to this wooden chair that's beginning to get stained in my blood. I try moving to see if the rope was loose, even just by a little, but it was no use, the ropes were too tight. This bastard's lucky my arms are tied to this chair else I would've beaten the shit out of him. From what I can tell, this must be their interrogation room. Not my first time being in one since I got arrested a few years back. The torture devices were on the other side of the room, drenched in dry blood and other fluids I can't make out.

Just then, the door busts open and in comes a fat one-eye geezer. He examines my bloody figure from head to toe with a devilish smile playing his wrinkled face. That smile is starting to piss me off.

"Seems like you've had enough. Are you ready to talk now?" he asks. I didn't respond, I just glare. So they planned to rough me up for answers? Fat chance they were getting any.

Seconds later my face was met with a hard punch that nearly broke my nose. I threw my head from the force. The throbbing pain was indescribable; groaning as I feel warm liquid trickling from my nose. It was getting a bit hard to breathe with all the blood clogging my air hole. That JACKASS punched me… again! Oh – just wait til I get my hands on that ugly piece of shit. I'll-

"Not so hard my boy. We need him alive" fat-ass rested a hand on the freak's shoulder. He backed off while nodding his head. "Sorry boss" You'll be sorry when I get out of this.

One-eye looks back to me. "Sorry about him. He doesn't know how to control his strength sometime" he slyly says. "I'm Captain Black Eye and I liked to ask you a few questions, son"

I frown at him. He expects me to talk after what his friend over there put me through? He must be outta his fucking mind. "Where did your captain went off to when you docked on the harbor?"

Now the smart thing to do was to tell him the truth, 'cause I really didn't know where Natsu went or when he even left the ship. I decided be a bastard instead. "Up your ass"

BANG!

He shoot me in my shoulder, causing me to fall back in the chair. I clenched my bloody teeth while tossing my head from side to side.

FUCK THIS HURTS!

As the hard lump of metal penetrated in my shoulder burn my flesh, I sighed. It was a sigh of anger, anguish and agony. I just recovered from my last injury, and now I have another one. My luck sucks.

I catch a glimpse of red liquid oozing out the wound, making a pool of my own blood form beneath my cold body. I smile to myself sadly. So this is how I'm gonna die huh? Death from blood loss; I wanted my death to be more memorable than that, but hey – what can you do?

In a blink of an eye, the door swings open again, this time revealing a beaten up Erza and a worn out Wendy being dragged in the room by their hair. The moment they spotted me they rushed to my side. "Gray!" they both gasped. I feel someone untying the ropes and resting me on their soft lap.

"H-Hey… you're a-alright. T-That's good" I struggled between breaths. I was really worried for them when I woke up to find myself in this room with no one around. It's a relief to see their okay; too bad I can't say the same about myself.

"Don't talk"

Erza puts pressure on my wound while Wendy tears a piece of her dress and presses it over the red-head's bloody hands. Erza glares at the owner of the gun that supposedly shot me. "How could you?!" she cries harshly. I could see the tears swelling up in those brown eyes. I never like seeing her cry, even when we were kids.

"Maybe you'll be of more use than him"

"Go to hell!" she spat. "I wouldn't tell you anything, you monster"

SLAP!

Erza falls to the ground, her hand covering her bruised cheek. She was faced down with her hair shrouding her face from view. One-eye used his foot to forcefully roll her over, getting a death glare from her in return. "You're a feisty bitch"

"Go fuck yourself"

He chuckled. "That's the same thing that blunette said to me when I interrogated her. Lucky she was a kid or I'd cut her foul tongue off"

"Levy?!"Thank god this idiot hadn't realize she was seventeen. Her undeveloped body isn't that bad; she has breasts even if they're small. They're still breasts for Christ sake! "Where is she? If you hurt her I'll –"

"GHA!" I coughed out more blood. My body began to shake uncontrollably against my will.

"Gray-san!"

"AAUGHH…! GHHA...!" I couldn't stop coughing. Every time I breathed in, I would choke on the blood that was rising in the back of my throat.

"Gray!"

"He's going into shock Erza-san. Help me keep his head still"

I feel warm hands holding the sides of my face as I subconsciously swing my head around. My heartbeats become more rapid, as if it's gonna burst in my chest any second. I slowly feel mind start to drift away into darkness. My eyes begin to close.

"Look at me Gray! Don't you dare die on me! I …I'll beat you up if that'll keep your eyes open" she cries, raising a shaky fist at me. Never thought I see the day she'd show fear. She always shows her tough side, never letting others see her weaknesses. But look at her now.

"So you actually care about me?" A weak smile inched on my face. My eyes shifted to her brown orbs stained by tears. She stared at me in disbelief before my vision blurred and I fell into an abyss of absolute darkness.
