The Ice Mage held the body of his friend and crouched down. He laid her on the floor and sighed deeply. He had managed to get the cuffs of his wrists and was able to use his magic again.

Gray stroke Juvias cheek. In that moment he was so happy to see her save again. He knew he didn't have to worry about her body, she just had to regenerate.

He used his Ice Make magic to freeze the wounds.

A shadow appeared on Grays face as he remembered what had just happened.

Juvia lost control over herself. He knew that she is more of the jealous type but she wouldn't kill anyone. Did the necklace leave some kind of dark magic in her...

"Juvia had already lost enough!"

He remembered Juvias words from before.

She was Margarets daughter. Maybe Juvia wasn't as pure as he thought her to be?

No. He shook his head. How could he even doubt Juvias innocence for a moment? She is just hurt and confused.

Gray looked over to the passed out Lost Tessera member.

Her body was a mess. Countless wounds across her chest and blood pouring out of them all.

He walked over and froze all the wounds. He didn't fancy the girl at all but that didn't mean he wanted her to die.

"This power..." Candy muttered silently while Gray was treating her.

"Mommy was right.. ugh." She moaned from the pain.

"She... has his powers!" The girl coughed up blood.

"What are you talking about? Whose power?" Gray shook the girl but it was too late.

Her head dropped lifeless on her shoulder with her eyes wide open.

She was dead.

Grays whole body shivered and he looked over to Juvia with terrified eyes.

She killed her.

Gray found himself in a spot where he started to be scared for Juvia. He didn't know what to think of this...

If Margaret was such a merciless person and Juvia had her blood...

The short influence of her mother has already brought a tragedy, he had to get Juvia out of here immediately.

Gray picked her up and started to walk off when he bumped into someone.

He was ready to fight but the pink hair calmed him down.

"Natsu! What are you doing here?"

"Great to see you, icebrain!" Natsu smiled but his happiness washed off as soon as he noticed Juvia and the dead girl behind them.

Lucy came running to them along with Happy.

Her excitement also dissappeared immediately and was replaced with horror, "What happened? Did you.. kill her?"

Lucy covered her face with her hands.

"No." Gray looked away.

"We need to talk, let's get out of here!" he demanded and started to walk away.

"I'm glad you're okay Lucy", he said and looked back with a smirk. "But let's go back now!"

The confused duo along with Happy didn't protest. They made their way out of the guilds danguons.
