Chapter 10

The Real Gray

Gray woke up in another cell that was completely he could see was the faint outline of a door, in the corner to his began to realize that he wasn't chained to the ceiling, instead his left ankle was attached to a chai that was locked onto a hook that was welded to the floor.

Gray got up to make his way to the door but, his poisiond body stopped him. He fell against the closest wall and began to worry, that his friends would fall for Midnights deception. His mind quickly fell on Juvia, she will figure it out I know she will. She has stalked me enough, she knows me better than Lyon. Don't le me down Juvia please was Grays last thought.

When the door flew open to reveal Cobra, "Good morning Frosty" said Cobra snickering at his own comment.

"Morning" asked Gray questionably.

"Yes" and "welcome to Hell" spoke Racer as he mad his way over to be pained ice Mage currently using the weight off he wall to keep his torn body upright. "It's time Racer told Cobra.

"Okay grab him" Cobra replied, as he unhooked the chain from Gray's ankle.

"Come on" Racer yelled throwing his knife into Grays back, he watched in awe as blood began to ooze from the blades touch.

Gray shivered as the warm blood trailed, down his torn back and soaked into the fabric of his was take to yet another room, that held a large table with restraints, in the center. Gray was ore than shocked, when Ivan walked in with Midnight.

"what the hell", was all Gray got out, before midnight placed a piece of tape over his mouth.

"So your the famous Ice Mage Gray Fullbuster, from my stupid fathers guild Fairytail". Ivan screamed the last part in a rather loud and annoyed voice. Right in Grays face .

"Your probably wondering what rave tails master is doing here" inquired Midnight.

All Gray could do was nod, as his face sported a look f pure confusion.

"Well Midnight began when we decided to go up against fairytail, we knew our numbers were too small, and the fact that fairytail has many strong mages is no secret. Heck the Oración Seis has all been defeated by fairytail once before and all Raventail members have been defeated by one of your mages alone".

"Damn Fairytail" mumbled Ivan, more to himself than anybody else.

Ignoring Ivan's out burst Midnight continued. "So we asked Raventail to join Blood Orchid, temporarily that is". "Well bough explaining, Ivan as I promised, you get to torture Gray". Stated Midnight.

"Of course thank you master Midnight". Ivan said grinning evilly at Gray.

Gray felt as though he was going to die by Ivan's glare was just as scary as Makarov, when he gets mad at Laxus and Natsu for destroying the guild. Gray shuddered at the thought of being left alone with these people let alone this man. He began to repeat the words "Juvia will not be deceived, the others will find me" in his head.

"Well shall we begin" said Ivan chuckling to himself. " I have waited too long for this to not enjoy it" he thought. Then without waiting for any kind of answer. He strapped Gray to the table, he then grabbed a fire poker from a fire place that Gray had not even seen upon his entry. Gray bit his lip and scrunched his face in agony while also pushing his harde into the table. As if to escape the excruciating pain his body was being going through. As Ivan dragged the fire poker over his chest and stomach wheals I pushing it further into Grays skin leaving a long red mark that would, surely become a welt in its wake! Gray tried to stifle a scream, but only managed to bust his lip in agony as Ivan repeated this process till he got tired of it. Which happened after about thirty minutes, to Grays relief.

Grays voice was hoarse from all the screaming. "What's Ivan going to do next" wondered Gray, and as if on cue Ivan pressed a button on a remote. He then proceeded to unhook gray from the table.

"Maybe he'll take me back to the cell Gray hoped. But his hope was short lived when, moments later Nullpudding appeared. Yes, sir he said.

"Help me" answered Ivan.

Together the two grabbed Gray and placed him in chains that were again attached to the ceiling. Ivan and Nullpudding then repeatedly beat Gray. They punched him in the stomach, back, chest, and then finally Ivan hit Gray in the head, so hard his head hit the wall behind him, when his body swung backwards. Ivan must have even satisfied with Grays scream. Because he stopped Nullpudding from landing another blow. "Instead he said take him back to his cell".

"Yes, sir replied Nullpudding in a disappointed tone.

He unhooked Gray, and grabbed Grays arms and dragged him to his cell. He opened the door and pulled Gray to the chain I the floor, he then attached the chain around. Grays ankle again after shortening it.

"Now I can't reach the door" Gray thought. He tried to stand but his legs started shaking, as he began to feel dizzy. He fell to the floor, as Nullpudding snickered as he finished locking the door and left. Grays stomach started to growl, he had been without food for nearly a day. The first two days he had been held captive, they had at least given him food and water. At least there was a bucket in the closest corner, Incase he had to use the restroom. Ten minutes Cobra came in carrying bread and water, here he said as he placed them at the door just out of Grays reach.

Gray licked his lips he was so thirsty, "is this another one of there tortures","Maybe I can stretch" Gray thought. But was quickly discouraged when intense pain he had never felt before, coursed throughout his body and burned with such intensity Gray felt like he was on fire. He screamed in agony until his voice was nothing more than a whisper. After what felt like forever Grays body finally, began to find some small relief. He looked at the door the food and water was still there but, he just couldn't find the energy to move. He looked to the ceiling allowing a single tear to fall down his blood covered cheek, that he did not know was there. He quickly tried to raise his arm to wipe the tear, when he realized his arm, would not respond to his command. Then remembering back to his torture session with Ivan he recalled that he had most likely broken his arm. When Ivan had hit him against the wall, the chain holding his left arm up was stuck, and the force of the punch had caused the chain to twist therefore breaking his arm. He silently began to cry "when are they going to realize that's not me".Gray thought.

Day two

Gray woke up to Racer punching him.

"Get up" Racer said as he saw Gray flench. He had already removed the chain from Grays ankle.

"Okay" said Gray through clenched teeth as he realized the everyday task was easier said then done. as soon as he was up he tried to take a step, and fell on his mostly poisoned side.

"Oh I see the poison is spreading" said Racer.

Excellent the plan is coming along great said Midnight out of no where.

By this time Gray was certain he had. Concussion because, he couldn't understand what they were saying, his head was pounding. He felting puking, no wait he didn't feel like puking he was going to, and as if on cue Gray began coughing and gagging. But all that came up was blood and saliva and some weird liquid that Gray was unsure of. After Gray was done his body was so trashed. His arms couldn't hold him, up any longer I his kneeling position. He fell face first into his own vomit, neither Midnight nor Racer moved to catch him as he fell. They then too him back to the room he was in the day before. Ivan walked over with towl and just rubbed it across his face not really leaning anything off. Not that Ivan cared if he was clean or not Ivan could still torture him, until the smell started to bother him.

"Ugh" was all that escaped Grays lips as the smell entered his nose.

Nullpudding then walked over with the command, from Ivan and used needle blast that left Grays hand crushed. After his voice had yet again gone hoarse, from another day of torture. Gray was again dragged to his cell, he was starving and thirsty. He was so thirsty but cobra did the same thing, and Nullpudding had again made the chain shorter. Gray finally fell asleep as the pain in his body subsided a little. He could still feel the poison that gad now spread up and down his back, and his sides had already started to turn purple as the poison was three followed the same order wake up and be tortured by Ivan, except he was actuall able to eat his meal. Day four he was woke up, tortured and then forced to sleep hungry again.

Day five

Gray woke up to the sound of "GRAY where are you"?

"Natsu"? "No Macoa"? Gray said in a raspy voice. "I'm here" Gray managed before a coughing fit overtook him. Not really sure who was talking to.
