"Keep up shrimp!" Gajeel yelled over his shoulder as he walked through the forest. He and Levy picked a short job in the woods for 5,000 jewels while Panther Lily was sick. The mission was to bring two bags of seeds to a near by village, but Levy was whining louder than usual.
"I'm sorry Gajeel! This bag is just really heavy." Levy responded and shifted the sack in her arms into a comfortable position. Levy had insisted that she should help carry the luggage as well, but Gajeel had his doubts. When they arrived at the village, Gajeel told Levy to stay outside as he walked into the leaders hut. The hut was small and dusty, but allowed him enough room to set the bags in front of the meditating leader.
"Seeds are here." He growled with annoyance. The villages leader woke up and bowed in apology. When the short man looked up and saw the giant Dragon Slayer he pointed towards the door and told him where the bags were to be placed. Gajeel growled and grabbed the bags, then walked outside towards the shed. When Gajeel threw the bags inside of the shed he looked over his shoulder in search of Levy.
"Boo!" Levy poked her head out from the side of the shed and tried to scare Gajeel.
"You can't scare me that easily shrimp." He rolled his eyes and threw her over his shoulder. "Come on, let's go set up a tent. It's becoming night."
"HEY! Put me down!" she squealed and pounded her fists against Gajeel's back. He only chuckled and jogged towards an open field of grass. Levy was set down in the grass as Gajeel set up their tents. The tents were put up just as the sun started to set.
"The sunset is so pretty." Levy smiled and cuddled up in her sleeping bag.
"Yeah yeah. It's just the sun." Gajeel replied indifferently as he too crawled into his sleeping bag.
"Good night Gajeel!" Levy whispered loudly.
"Good night shrimp." Gajeel replied and layed down on his back to rest.
Little did they know, that night would not be good at all.
