Gray sat alone in a cell.

Unlike Juvia, his cell had no furniture, no bed and no door. All that was keeping him from escaping were iron bars installed as a wall. Not even a window was present to let him know what time it was. He sat alone on the cold stone but none of that mattered to him.

In that moment he was only thinking about Juvia.

Juvia and Margarets words.

He tried to understand how it was possible that Juvia was her daughter.

After accepting that fact, he tried to understand how a mother could harm her own child?

He desperetly wanted to see Juvia again but he had no idea what he would do if that was to happen.

Would he tell her the truth? She never knew about her parents, would it be wise to open healed scars?

Juvia had Fairy Tail, she didn't need to know about a mother who hates her. It would only hurt her, he had to make sure Juvia stays out of harms way-

"Kyle doesn't see it..." Grays deep thoughts were interrupter by a sweet voice coming from behind the bars,
"...but you are a cutie!"

A girl appeared and winked at him.

Gray rolled his eyes and looked away.

"Oy, you're rude too!" She protested.

"I'm Candy, your future lover!" She leaned against the bars seductivly, "I heard your name is Gray, isn't it?"

The Ice Mage scoffed, he didn't even bother to look at her. "I- I'm taken", he stuttered.

He didn't know why he had the urge to say that - practically he was not taken. But his heart was indeed occupied by a different girl. He blushed at the thought of confessing to himself that he liked Juvia.

"Oy, that blue girl?" Candy rolled her eyes, "Mother will be done with her soon so don't think that it will last", she laughed.

Her laughter was immediately cut off by Grays hand around her throat. Shocked she looked up to meet Grays deadly glare.

"Do not dare to threaten Juvias future", Gray whispered to her. Candy felt like alone the tone of his voice could kill her.

Gray could now take a closer look at the girl.

She was a head shorter than him and pretty slim. Her long beige hair was tied up in two curly ponytails. What cought his attention the most was the fear in her pink eyes.

He let her go and took a few steps backwards.

Candys body covered a kimono dress in pastel yellow colours with rosy ribbons. On her back hung an attached katana with a pastel pink grip.

Her legs were exposed up to her tighs, where her white guild mark was located. Her breasts were also very visible.

Too much... - Gray thought.

"You know-", Candy coughed a little, "You know nothing about how to properly treat a lady," she complained and dusted her dress off.

She took out a key and started to swing it in her fingers.

"But I know how to treat a gentleman", she winked.

"You've got nerves. Get lost!" Gray scoffed and turned around.

"Let's make a deal."

Candys voice turned serious.

"Unlike my big brother Kyle, I don't really care about what happens to that water chick and if Mommy gets what she wants ble ble, you get the idea," she explained showing her annoyence.
