Welcome back! (: Before we get started I have a simple question. Is anybody reading this in love with Legolas from Lord of the Rings? No? Just me? Okay. ;-;

Enjoy. (:

After setting out for the journey again you couldn't help, but feel like you were all being followed. An unease went through your body so you adjust your shoulders to try and shrug off the feeling.

noticing your discomfort Gray asked you, "Are you okay (F/n)?"

"Huh? Yeah, just some back pain," you lied. You didn't want to add anymore worries to the rest of the group so you decided it be better to hide it.

"Oh, want a massage?" he shrugged his eyebrows teasingly.

"Huh?! no!" you take a few steps forward hurriedly to avoid him and you could hear him suffocating amongst his laughter.

"Wow, you and Gray are really close aren't you?" Lucy asked smiling and tilting her head so her ponytail flowed a bit more smoothly.

Twiddling your fingers whil;e biting your lower lip you respond, "I'm not very sure, but. . . By the looks of it we are. I still havent gotten any memories beside the fact I have a brother."

"At least you know what he looks like," Erza tried to cheer you up.

"Yeah, just give it some time," Natsu added.

"Aye, sir!" Happy helped.

You couldn't help, but smile at the fact they were all trying to sooth you. Gray appeared behind you, "Trust me once you get your memories back you'll see everything I told you was true."

You rolled your eye thinking how much he'd be rubbing it in your face once he saw he was right. You gave a heavy sigh and said, "Yeah, I probably will."

The journey followed and you could feel yourself growing more tired. Your feet were dragging on the floor and sweat dotted your facial features. You push a lock of your (h/c) hair out of your eyes.

Man, you think, why does it have to be so hot?

You wipe your forehead and heard a voice break the silence, "Hey, (F/n)? You okay? You';re pretty sweaty."

You see Gray staring at your rather concerned. Man, you didn't want to put up with his jokes right now.

"Thanks a lot Captain Obvious," you deadpanned.

"I'm being serious!" Gray said, "You don't look so good."

"I don't feel smashing either," you groaned.

He pressed a cool hand to your forehead and for some reason it was a lot colder than usual. Gray pulled his hand back, "You're hot."

Your face became even warmer, "That's not funny Gray!"

"N-no (f/n)!" His face became red, "Th-that's not what I meant!"

"Oooh!" Happy circled Gray's head, "He liiikes her!"

"No!" Gray protested, "I didn't mean that!"

"So, she's not hot?" Natsu asked, looking somewhat disappointed, "Gee Gray just because you're an ice mage doesn't mean you gotta be so cold."

"No!" Gray looked so red he'd be turning purple any minute, "She is hot!-"

"Wow, Gray!" Natsu winked, "I didn't know you had the hots for (F/n)! Go get her Gray!"

"Natsu you idiot!" Gray had turned purple, it was done. You didn't think it was possible, "I mean she's hot as in she has a fever!"

Natsu stopped, "(F/n)? You're going down with a fever?"

You shake your head, but Gray grabbed your face in his hands and stares you in the yes, "Do't lie, don't try to act strong (F/n)."

You sigh defeated, "okay, yeah. . . I do feel a bit warm,"

Erza cleared her throat as if she was trying not to laugh. Apparently, she and Lucy had watched the scene and were dying in their laughter. She then switched over to her serious face, "We are almost there. We do have time for another rest stop. Gray watch over her, make sure nothing worsens alright?"

Gray nodded and went beneath a tree holding your hand as you to sat side by side, "You sure are a handful (F/n), . . But I don't mind."

You leaned your head against his strong arms barely hearing anything he was saying. You were too focused on the intense hat coming from your body. It felt like a fire starting inside your veins that was just spreading and becoming hotter. Even Gray's coolness was not enough to keep you cooled at the moment. You felt your sweat dripping off your face and onto his clothing. . . It was there you realized he had actually stripped and was wearing no shirt.

You sighed mentally you weren't even paying attention when he stripped. What a bummer. You actually hadn't paid much attention to your surroundings before, but not catching Gray strip? you must have been pretty out of it to not notice that.

Before you knew it you had drifted into a heavy sleep.

You were walking through the forest on your own. You'd fallen asleep and they'd left you behind alone. You felt betrayed and lost. tears ran down your face as you called out, "Gray?!"

your vocie echoed throuhgout the trees and bounced back to you. There you felt more lonesome than you did just seconds ago. Why would they have left you? Were you slowing them down? Yes, it was probably because you were not capable of what they were.

You gave a sad look as you let your thoughts get the best of you. You continued walking and decided it was not worth trying to call out to them any longer. You were mostly hurt that Gray had left you behind. You'd never thought he'd done that to you.

You heard cry of pain and turned seeing Gray on the ground. He was under the foot of a hooded figure. The shadows hiding the person's features. You would have laughed and pointed out what a total cliche that was if it weren't for Gray's pained form.

He had bruises and cuts covering his torso. His lip was split and blleding. Blood was racing down the side of his face and he looked as if conciousness was slipping out of him.

You tried to call out his name, but your voice didn't work. ou tried again, but had the same conclusion. It was when Gray called out your name, "(F/n)!"

You were jolted awake at the scream of your name. Your (e/c) eyes shot open in search of what was calling out to you. Then time slowed to a crawl as you realized what was surrounding you.

You were in the grasp of a hooded figure. You tried pulling away, but realized your hands were bound behind your back. You tried to struggle continuously while searching what else was around you.

Your heart sank at seeing the image in your dream. Gray calling out to you under the foot of a figure. Only this time the hood was down and you saw perfectly who it was. It was Trent.

Your struggling stopped and you were dragged further away. You noticed Trent's eyes were no longer the captivating blue they once were, they were a crimson red. It was as if the blood straining Gray's features had somehow leaked into his orbs. It sent chills down your spine.

Trent glanced at you with a smile cold enough to freeze a thousand people, "We shall see each other soon, my dear princess."

Gray continued struggling,"(F/n)!"

Trent rammed his foot into Gray's head and knocked him out cold. You could feel the tears falling from your eyes as you cried out to him. You tried seeing Erza, Lucy and natsu anywhere but couldn't catch them. You were about to call out to them, but before you could a cloth was put over your lips muffling your cries for help.

Trent came up to you and caught your chin in his fingertips, "Fret not my dear (F/n). . . I left him alive, but if he interferes with us then I will kill him without a second thought," he leaned down to your ear, "And I promise to make you watch every second if you do not cope."

His blood-stained orbs locked on your (E/c) tear-flooded eyes. You felt a pain sweel up in your chesrt, but couldn't stand the thought of having to make anyone else suffere more than they could handle. You bowed your head and nodded.

"Ata girl," Trent smiled and turned to other people you hadn't noticed before, "Let us move forward. The princess will come willingly."

Your senses sharpened. That was the second time he'd called you that. The first time you'd thought it was merely a not-so-romantic way to address you, but a second time couldn't have been a coincidence.

You were led away and could do nothing, but think along the way.

to be continued...
