1:29 in the morning, something happened that I will never forget. At that time, I saw the love of my life be slain by the same creature that raised him.
It all started at 1:25, I saw him battling a dragon. Not one of the hatchlings that the others in the guild were battling, a fully grown dragon that was out for blood. I was leading hatchlings away from Jet and Droy and I ran. I didn't know were to run to but I ran out of the town towards the castle. I kept on running and the hatchlings kept on firing lasers. I manage to miss most of the lasers, but some of them skid across my skin causing blood to seep from the wound. I look up and the hatchlings are getting closer. I run and I see a huge dragon with a muscular, bandaged, black haired dragon slayer fighting it. I get closer as I run towards him, and I see that his injuries from the Grand Magic Games had opened up and his bandages were ripped off and blood stained his clothes and skin. He spots me out of the corner of my eye and looks at my direction.
"Get down!" He yells at me. I drop to the ground and I cover my head. "Iron Dragon's Roar!" I feel the dragon roar above me and I can hear the cries of the hatchlings being attacked. The roar stops and I look up at Gajeel. He's panting and out of breath. I then see the dragon come in with one of it's claws.
"GAJEEL!" The claws swipe across his chest and he is sent flying towards me. The clock read 1:29 as he lands hard on his back. I manage to get to my feet and run towards him. I kneel next to him. I see the claw marks across his chest. He slowly opens his eyes.
"Levy...Run...I won't make it...Save... yourself." He's breathing is slowing down.
"No! I won't run away! I can't leave you here to die!" I yell and scream. I feel warm tears roll down my face and onto the ground.
"Just...run..." He's trying his best to save me. I don't want to be saved. I want to spend my life with him.
"No! You told me to never leave you side again and I intend to keep that promise until the bitter end!" I feel his hand caress my face. I hold his hand with both of mine.
"Levy...I just...want you...to...know..." I can feel his pulse slow down and his breathing gets heavier. "I...love...you..." in that instant, his red eyes went backwards into his skull and his pulse stops. I look at his face and I see a smile plastered across it. I climb on top of him and put his forehead to mine. I slowly press my lips to his now lifeless lips. I can taste the blood on them. I don't care.
"I love you too." I pull apart and I look up at the clock. 1:30 am, the time that the love of my life died right in front of me.
