Gray X Reader: My Protector (Wattys2016)

Chapter 54: Oh hell no!

Your POV

Willow stares at me with her new golden eyes in an uncertain way.
"(Y/N)... I can explain!" She says a little too desperately.
"Explain what?" I ask "What the hell is going on?" I say kind of shocked.

My body just flipping transformed like to the point where, she was only just recognisable.
"(Y/N)... I'm being prepared to return to the celestial world..." she mumbled.
"What do you mean return?" I ask.

Willow looks away from me for a moment and down at the floor.
"The mark that was singed in my fur is my celestial constellation mark. Unfortunately it was brought to be shown quicker due to a certain someone trying to interfere..." she muttered, then she looks at me again "either way, I'm a celestial spirit, I'm not an exceed or a cat, and neither was Ivera. Both of us are basically created for one reason. To protect you for your life in the human world." She says her eyes gleaming with tears.
"Wait... so... what?" I ask.
"Your father created us, we're celestial spirits and we are on Earth to make sure that you didn't come into any harm." She says.

I stare at her blankly. It hit me suddenly as she said all of this.
"So you've been lying to me?" I ask
"Yes... no... I mean-"
"She had to." Gray says. My head snaps to Gray. Wait a second...
"You knew?!" I ask.
"Yeah..." he mutters.
"You knew and you didn't think about telling me?" I ask.
"No- yes -"
"What so it didn't even cross your mind that I was being lied to? In fact you just played along with the lie so technically you yourself lied to me!" I say now tears of anger springing up in my eyes.
"What? No! Listen-"
"I'm sick or listening Gray!"
"(Y/N) give the guy a break he wasn't the only one okay!" Natsu says.

I turn to look at Natsu in disbelief .
"You knew too?!" I said.
"(Y/N)... we all did..." Cana mutters.

I suddenly feel really weak. This isn't because I've lost my energy. It's because I suddenly realised that the whole guild lied to me.
"Y-You all did." I repeat. Tears are now falling down my face. "You guys are no different to the Darknight guild." I mutter then walk out.
"(Y/N)! Wait!" I hear Gray say.
"Don't even try and follow me!" I say angrily.
"Bu-"
"Don't! "

I carry on walking away. I'm tired, I'm embarrassed and I'm hurt. Today just hasn't been my day.

I've accused my best friend of hurting my other best friend, used pretty much all of my magical energy on a fight with him then found out he's not actually guilty, then find out that my whole guild has pretty much lied to me.

"You know, crying about yor problems doesn't solve them." I heard a voice behind me say. I look to see Draco standing there with a smile on her face.
"Oh," I muttered and wiped my tears "I'm sorry I didn't realise you were here." I say.
"Don't worry about it," She says "What's happened? " She asked her golden eyes glinting slightly.

I don't feel comfertable talking to her about my problems. I've literally just met her and I'm not sure weather I wanna discuss it with her, after all I'm not too sure if I can still trust her.

"I've just... I don't know exactly... just a little sad?" I say. My statement ended up turning into a question.
"Right..." she laughs slightly "(Y/N) I can tell when someone is lying." She smiles.

I sigh slightly then look at the floor away from the green - haired yellow - eyed girl who was staring at me.
"I've just been lied to." I mutter quietly "by my whole guild. They all lied. Every single one of them lied to me. Even my freaking boyfriend... and we're suppose to get married... and how can I get married to him when he's lying to me so casually? What's going to happen to me when I get married to him? Is he still going to carry on lying like that? Without any care or any signs of remorse? Dammit does he even care?!" I say now tears welling up in my eyes.

I look back up at Draco and there is complete silence as she looks at me. She then smiles kind of in a pitying way. Great. The girl pities me.
"You know, maybe you and Gray weren't meant to be?" She says suddenly. Her words suddenly shock me.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"Well, he's lied to you right before your wedding, I mean maybe he's not serious about it."
"Oh no! I know he's serious... at least I think he is." I sigh a little.
"Listen (Y/N) I know lots of people who would date you," She pauses "they might be closer than you think."

Realisation hit me like a tonne of bricks.

Oh my gosh. Draco has a crush on me!

"Listen Draco, you're a sweet girl and  all," I lied "but I'm more into guys than gi-"
"What?! Oh hell no!" She says "That's not what I meant!" She says desperately "I mean, you've probably already met the person you're suppose to be with, who isn't Gray and you just haven't noticed it." She smiles and then turn her back "but you will soon." I hear her say before she walks away.

I'm so so sorry I haven't updated in like three days! I didn't have Internet yesterday (or not much) and I kind of had small writers block.

I know what I want to do with this story I just don't know how I want to write it if that makes sense! But I won't give up on this story!

(I have a habit of giving up on books but I'm determined not to on this one. Besides I have to fill in all the cliffhangers right? >:D )
