Shattered Ice

Chapter 4

Gray POV:

I hold her in my arms will tears in my eyes "I'm sorry Lucy..." I whisper and old her closer to me. She opens her eyes and looks up at me, she promises that she's okay but I see the pain in her eyes. I lift her up and start walking to our inn. She had a weird beat to her breathing she'd stop and then it'd stagger a little which worried me. "I should've protected you better..." I say in a low voice and another tear falls from my eyes. I feel her cold hand touch my cheek and then she starts to speak to me "Gray, you can't protect me from everything. I'm fine, don't worry so much" She smiles at me and I kiss her forehead. Once we get to the inn I lay her on the bed and start to clean her up a little. A few hours later Wendy shows up and examines Lucy "That's weird..." I hear Wendy mutter and my head shoots over in her direction "What?" She gives me a weird look "Lucy isn't hurt very badly, she looks bad but her bones aren't broken. She's perfectly fine..." My eyes blink a few times in disbelief "That's impossible, she had like 4 broken ribs and a broken leg." Wendy shrugs and examines her again but comes up with nothing "Again, she's perfectly fine" Lucy starts to wake up from her sleep and looks at Wendy with sort of an 'oh shit' expression and I shoot her a look that says 'explain now!'. She sits up and we gather around her "I am a celestial dragon slayer, my body heals back to perfection as I sleep. I didn't tell anyone because I didn't wanna be treated weirdly. Natsu would wanna fight all the time, I kept the celestial part and played it off like that was my main power." I felt my heart break a little more because the girl I've loved for so long has been lying to us since the minute we all met her. I don't  know who she is anymore. I get up and leave the room, slamming the door after me.

Lucy POV:

I watched him go and then looked over at a disappointed Wendy "Does anyone else know Lucy-san?" she asks me and I nod "Master and Mira knows but other than all of you...no" she frowns at me and walks into the living room where Gray was probably disowning me. I just hope he doesn't remember when I lost to Flare and Minerva in the GMG's because then he'll really be mad. I could've beat them and I didn't.

Gray POV:

'I can't believe she'd lie to all of her nakama and me...' I think to myself and Wendy comes out the room after me with a disappointed look in her eyes "What's wrong Wendy?" I ask he in a dead like voice, it's like all my emotions fled from me as my heart broke more. She looks at me with tears in her eyes "To talk to Mira and the master... They knew" She says and runs out into the darkness of night. I look back at the bedroom door and grit my teeth 'I don't know her anymore...I trust no one' I think to myself and at the moment my heart completely shattered in a million pieces.
