AN: Hey guys! LadyPlague here! Just wanted to inform everyone that Reapers Soul is temporarily on Hiatus. While that is on hiatus I will be regularly updating four stories on here. So that will be Twin Souls, Warrior Souls, One that I haven't posted yet which will be called Purgatory, and this one here is Monsters of the Universe (Title is based off a song by the band Wednesday 13, which I do not own! Just like I don't own Fairy Tail.) I'll most likely update in order based on reviews and followers. Regardless of how many I have they will be updated. Just the order depends. So If you have a favorite story of mine make sure to review and follow and favorite in order to show me which one you want updated first! The reason I haven't updated lately, is because I've been writing multiple chapters for each story in order to not fall behind!
Andromeda P.O.V
A small sigh escapes my lips as I let my head fall and hit the wood of the bar. A loud thump is heard, but I don't even bother to say ow from the pain that is now throbbing from my temple to my eyes. Six months. I've been in this guild for six months, and I'm bored out of my mind. Why did I decide being with my sister was better then exploring far away lands by myself? I turn my head to glance in the direction of my older sister. The so called Queen of Fairies. I watch her as she huffs at her friend Bickslow, her eyes take on a haughty look, her small nose turns up in the air, and she moves her fingers through her brunette hair before she whips out her fan and smacks Bickslow on the head with it. If you looked at us you never would have expected us to be siblings, not when I'm probably about 5 inches shorter than her standing at five foot two inches, and my hair is vibrant neon green with black streaks through it. I keep it at a short length, with the sides and back shaved down so that there's only an inch of hair there, and then I keep the middle top long enough that it hits mid chin and I put it up in some pretty cool old school pin curls. I also have these pretty nifty golden eyes. I look a lot different than Ever, but she's my big sister, only by one year, she's 23 I'm 22, regardless of the fact that certain mages here think I'm lying
I really have missed her. I suppose it hasn't been that bad since I got here. I've become friends with a few people, like Bickslow, Freed, Gray, Lucy, Juvia, Mira, Wendy and of course Gajeel. Actually Besides Ever's team…Gajeel was the first person to talk to me. Gray has also become one of my best friends. I talk to him about everything, and he usually goes on missions with me. He kind of abandoned his old team for me. Lucy understood that he was being nice and helping me get acclimated by being my partner, but Erza and Natsu think I stole him. They said that they would 'never forgive me'.
I think my most surprising friend is Juvia. During mine and Gray's first mission together, she had followed us, I knew the whole time, but I'm not sure Gray did. I had called her out before we started our mission and told her to join us, she's kind of part of mine and Gray's team now, even though it's not an official team, but still. She doesn't even call me Love Rival, like she does Lucy. I bet it's because I gave her some advice on Gray. She's started to tone down her craziness with him, and because of that, he'll actually talk to her. It's unfortunate, but I know Gray doesn't like Juvia like that, but hopefully they can be friends.
"Are you okay, Andromeda?" I hear an overly sweet voice. I smile. Moving my head to face Mira I smile even larger.
"Of course I am Mira!" I giggle at her.
"Are you sure? You weren't thinking about your and Gray's future babies were you?" I gulp as I see the demon Mira surface herself.
"No! No, no, no! I don't like Gray that way Mira! I told you already! But I do want to ask you if I can go on this mission solo!" I say excitedly bringing out a flyer I had pulled off the request board earlier.
Mira looks at it, "You sure you can handle this by yourself? It looks like it might take about a week." She asks me with slight worry showing on her face.
I grin big, "Of course!"
She pauses and thinks it over. I know she's just worried about me, but I'll be fine. "I'll let you go on the condition that you try my new ice coffee blend!" She cheers loudly. I chuckle slightly at Mira and nod.
"Sounds like a deal! You know I can't resist ice coffee!" I exclaim excited for a new blend.
"Oh," Mira's voice turns slightly creepy. "I know." Let's ignore Mira's creepiness, she was probably, just picturing babies that will never come to pass.
I look around watching my guild members as I wait for Mira and her drink. I smile as I see Juvia confessing her love once more to Gray, but not in the weird ways like usual, this time she's giving him flowers and I see a blush on her face. Gray of course turns her down and she melts into the floor before disappearing. Elfman is trying to get Ever to admit that he is a man. I chuckle at that. Evergreen needs to suck it up and just admit to everyone that her and Elfman are dating! Lucy is chasing Natsu and Happy around the guild hall, I'm assuming they called her fat again. They need to stop that. Lucy was a member of high society. She probably heard that all the time, because high society women are supposed to be twig figures: small chest, tiny waists, and no hips. Every thing is more accentuated with corsets so small figured women look like they have larger breasts and hips. Lucy is perfect though. She isn't fat in the slightest. I wish Natsu and Happy would understand how much that probably hurts her.
I place my attention back to the bar when I hear the slight thunk of my ice coffee being set on the bar. I smile up at Mira, and go to hand her some Jewels. "Oh No!" She says excitedly. "It's on the house since it's new. I don't want you to pay, since you're testing it out for me!" I grin at her and nod.
I take the straw in my mouth and give the coffee a hesitant taste. Oh my sweet Mavis, It's amazing.
"Oi! Mira you out did yourself!" I yell at the demon mage. I'm so enthralled by my coffee that I don't notice the demonic glint in Mira's eyes.
Within minutes I've downed my entire ice coffee. I let out a content sigh. It was so good that it's even making my body tingle. I look over at one of the back tables, seeing Lucy talking to Levy, and Gajeel sitting there with a bored expression on his face while Pantherlily relaxes on Gajeel's shoulder. I feel immense butterflies fly around in my stomach. I can feel my skin tingle even more. Maybe before I go on my mission I can do it. I need to talk to Gray.
I stand up from my stool at the bar and make my way over to the ice mage with a smile on my face.
"Gray!" I exclaim as I stand in front of him. He smiles softly at me.
"What's up, Andromeda? Got a new mission for us?"
"Huh? No. I'm going to do a solo mission, but before I go…I'm going to tell him!" I watch as Gray's eyes widen and a small smile appear on his face.
"Really? That's great Andy!" He uses my nickname. "I'm glad you finally decided to."
I smile at him and nod. "Wish me luck, Gray!"
"You don't need luck, Andy. It'll be fine." Gray gives me a grin and then pushes me in the direction of Gajeel's table. I giggle and start walking over there. An insane amount of courage coursing through me. This is it. I'm finally going to tell him.
I smile as I reach their table. Levy is the first to notice me and she narrows her eyes at me, but I ignore it. Gajeel looks at me a small smirk making it's way onto his handsome chiseled face. "Hey, Gajeel? Can I talk to you in private for a moment?" My voice isn't as strong as I was hoping it would be, in fact it came out with a very nervous sound to it.
He nods his head, and goes to stand, but before he can Levy grabs his arm. "He can't he's helping me with something." She speaks with a hard edge to her voice.
"Levy-chan, you and I were talking, let him go." Lucy looks at Levy curiously, not sure what's going on with her friend. I start to shift uncomfortably.
"Just go away Andromeda. He doesn't really want to talk to you anyways. Besides if your going to tell him that you like him, he already knows and doesn't care." I can feel tears start to drip down my face as I hear this. What is going on? Why am I here. I never wanted to tell him. I didn't want to hurt Levy. What am I doing?
"Oi! Shrimp, st…" Levy cuts Gajeel off.
"He doesn't want you talking to him any more either, Andromeda. You shouldn't even be in this guild." I can't move. My breathing is getting heavy and the tears won't stop falling down my face. My chest hurts so bad. Why is this happening?
"Levy!" I hear a female shout coming from the direction of the thunder tribe table. It's Evergreen. She sounds pissed.
"That is not manly!"
"I…I didn't…" I try to say but I trail off. I don't know what to do. Why is this happening…oh, Mavis…Mira what did you do?
"Shrimp," Gajeel growls. "What is wrong with you?"
"Nothing is wrong with me, Gajeel. I'm just telling the truth! Andromeda, Gajeel is mine. He isn't yours and never will be. He likes me. He's protected me so many times, and always sits with me. What makes you think he would ever want someone like you?" She snarls at me.
With that said I can feel my heart break. I let out a strangled sob. "I'm…I'm sorry." Before anyone can speak again I run out of the Guild, hearing several people yelling my name.
Gajeel P.O.V
I growl loudly as I watch Andromeda run outside. What the fuck was that shit? "What is wrong with you McGarden?" I hear Levy gasp as I call her by her last name.
"She was trying to steal you away Gajeel. Just like she stole Gray from Team Natsu!"
I look at the short blue haired mage in disgust. Before I can comment, I watch as Bunny Girl smacks Levy across the face. "Gajeel is a person, Levy! You do not own him! And not once has he ever expressed that you and him were in any sort of a relationship other then friend ship! What you did was wrong!"
"You stupid bitch!" My eyes widen at the pure fury I hear behind the female voice, I turn my head to see Elfman holding back Evergreen. "What the fuck did you do to my sister! I swear I will turn you to stone and break you! Elfman let me go!" I watch as she pulls and struggles against Elfman's hold. She almost breaks it, but then Bickslow grabs her as well.
"Leave Levy alone! She's right!" The stupid fire dragon slayer yells jumping in the middle of things. I growl again. They hurt her. Levy, Erza, Natsu, Jet, and Droy. All of them have said and done things to make her feel unwelcome.
"You should feel like shit, Levy." Gray says walking up to us. He has a rather intimidating aura surrounding him. "She was never going to tell him in the first place, because she didn't want to hurt you! I'm pretty sure Mira put something in her drink, thinking that She would confess to me, but that back fired. Andromeda has had a thing for Gajeel since she got here, but she didn't want to hurt you Levy. And this is what you do? You cause our nakama to feel like shit! What the fuck is wrong with you?"
"Mira…"I growl, looking for the demon mage.
"I'm sorry!" Mira shouts. "I didn't know she would confess to Gajeel. It was just supposed to give her courage to confess to who she really liked, and I thought it was Gray!"
I hear a scream and whip my head around, seeing Evergreen turn her attention to Mira.
I take a deep breath before letting out a dragon roar. "Shut the fuck up!" The guild quiets down. "McGarden, you should be fucking ashamed of yourself. You're a fucking awful person. You come near me, Lily, or Andromeda and I will make sure Evergreen gets the chance to turn you to stone." I turn my gaze back to Mira. "Mira stop messing with peoples fucking lives, you do it again, and I'm sure Juvia wouldn't mind putting you in a fucking bubble of water for awhile. Now someone fucking tell me where she would go!"
Gray clears his throat. "She probably went to the train station. She was going to tell you how she felt before she left for her first solo mission."
"Which one did she take, Mira?" I growl.
"The um…The one in Terra Point."
Oh, Mavis no. She's going to get herself killed. If she can't focus she won't make it. "Lily!" I shout before rushing out of the guild, Lily following behind me. Don't worry my little goddess, your dragon is coming for you.
