Chapter 9

Hello again! In this chapter there will be: Gruvia (duh), maybe Elsa jokes, romance, fear and KAWAII! Love y'all! Hope you enjoy!

{Gray's POV}

     What had I done? I heard Juvia whimpering on the other side of the door. I tried to remember what I had done wrong... wait. That sentence.

     I had sounded like that man from her nightmare. I was gonna knock on the door and make the situation funny by singing 'Do You Wanna Build A Snowman'. But I decided to let her cool down. Then the stupid part of my brain was speaking to me. It said;

     "Gray, why don't you cool her down? You're an ice wizard!"

     "It's an expression!" I shouted back in my head.

     Damn... was I really having an argument with myself? I decided to go downstairs before I went even more insane. I layed down on my couch and noticed that my clothes were is a pile next to me. Did I seriously strip again? Just when I thought I was losing the habit. I only had my boxers on. I decided to put my black shirt on too, since I didn't really care if they saw my boxers, I was usually only in my boxers around the guild hall anyways. But to be courteous, I put on the shirt.

     As I drifted off into sleep I thought of Juvia of course. I was actually thinking of what our kid might be like. I decided that if we had a girl, she would definitely be like the little girl we saw at the beach. Heck she could be our kid! She had Juvia's bubblyness and my short temper. She had my hair and Juvia's skin and eyes. Hm... before I knew it, I fell asleep.

{Juvia's POV}

     I was ready for bed. I was wearing one of Gray's big shirts, since I usually slept better in big shirts, but all Mira packed me was tight stuff.

     Gray... I wasn't sure if I could trust him... what if he broke my heart? Should I just give him up? But a future with him is so close in reach! If he's not lying... these were the thoughts in my head as I layed wide awake in my bed, shivering under the covers I was hiding under. I felt so alone. So afraid. So... helpless. I knew that if I fell asleep, I would have that nightmare again. Maybe I would have it a couple of times before I woke up...

     I decided to fall asleep anyway. I was too sleepy and too upset about Gray to care about being terrified and tortured again.

     As I felt myself drifting off into sleep, I felt the dream beginning, the horror setting in, and my worst fears consuming me. The dream was continuing, getting more real by the second. It was at the part of when he threw me put of the cage now. I was absolutely terrified would be a huge understatement.

{Gray's POV}

     Even while dreaming, I could hear Natsu and Lucy's obnoxious bear snores. Ugh. I don't think anything could wake them up now.

     Then suddenly, I was jolted awake by Juvia's terrified scream. All my muscles moved at once, causing me to launch myself off of the couch. I quickly got up to my hands and knees, then to my feet, and started to run upstairs. I scrambled up the stairs and to her door. I tried the door knob, it was locked. I banged on the door with my fist as she screamed continuously, like a deranged animal being beaten slowly to death.

     "Juvia!" I shouted.

     She screamed again. I heard a whip, and other footsteps.

     Someone was in that room with her. That was it. I blew down the door, and what I saw, horrified me.

     Juvia was sleep walking, and her magic was reincarnating the scene of the nightmare in real life using water.

     Juvia was hung to the ceiling by chains of her own water magic, with cuts on her everywhere. There he was... the man from her nightmare made of water. I couldn't see his face. It kept changing. He was wearing a robe, and there was something radiating off of him, that made me want to cry out in fear. It seemed too real. Something wasn't right. The man was speaking in a such voice, one I knew, but couldn't recall. I tried to attack him, but wasn't able to. I just passed right through his water body. Then he smacked me when he was bringing his arm back, ready to whip Juvia, and that, was very solid.

     Instinctively, I ran up to Juvia, and hugged her limp hanging body. When the whip struck, it hit me. I held in the bellow I craved to release.

     What if I woke up the Nalu couple? Juvia wanted to keep this a secret, so I endured the pain. My flesh split open, and Juvia's tears fell in the cuts. Her tears were boiling hot, and so was her body temperature. It stung so bad, but I didn't let go. I would rather face the pain every night, than hear Juvia scream once. She finally stopped screaming, but was still crying her eyes out.

     The dream was almost over, I could tell. The man walked up to her with the gun. She was about to pull the trigger. I could hear the trigger click before the water dropped to the floor and evaporated. The dream was over.

     There was blood everywhere. Juvia and I were covered in it. She dropped down from the ceiling and I caught her lifeless seeming body. Then when I held her, she seemed to relax a bit. I hugged her against my bare chest (where did my shirt go?!). She was so fragile.

     Now I understood why she was terrified to go to sleep. That was horrible... I held her against my chest, whispering comforting words, wishing for her to wake up.

ENJOYED!? CYAAA! Sorry for the short chapter! And for the hangcliff... hee hee...
