AN:/
It is really sad to see this story go to waste. I don't want it to, but no one seems interested in it.
I am very disappointed. Mostly at myself. Was this story really that bad?
I know I shouldn't seem depressed. And I'm not! I just wish some viewers would comment, or at the very least tell me what I did wrong. I am looking for comments that are encouraging, and could improve my writing skills.
Please guys, as fellow Fairy Tail fans, it would help me out...
I guess if people don't like it, I should just delete it. But we'll see after this chapter...
Rules
~Gajeel's POV~
"Why are you following me, Shrimp?" I asked the very persistent, and annoying girl.
"I told you, Gajeel, I am your guardian angel. I can't leave until I see you are safe." Shrimp replied.
We were walking the dark streets of the city. I was trying to get home, but this pest won't leave my side.
"Tch, some angel you are." I said sarcastically.
"What did you, say?"
"You say 'safe'. What exactly does that mean? If you're such a 'guardian angel', then why haven't you 'protected' me before?"
She just shook her head.
"I guess i'll have to explain to you. Come'on, let's just get to your house, so it doesn't look like you're talking to a ghost. People are starting to stare." She said. She fluttered ahead of me, in the direction of my house. Oh shit! She's a stalker creep! Now I'm never going to get rid of her!
But wait... Ghost?
I looked around. People were staring.
Shit...
~Flashback~
"You can't leave him here, Gajeel. The least you could do is bring him to a hospital." Shrimp said.
This is just gonna get weird...
So, we took him to the hospital. Told them he got into a fight. And they let me go without a suspicion...
Now I just gotta get let go from Shrimp...
Shrimp flew strait to my apartment.
She was a total stalker.
I walked up the iron stairs at the side of the building, and entered my apartment through a window.
Shrimp stood in the middle of my apartment.
"Sit," She commanded.
'Please don't tell me she's some victorious secret prostitute...' I thought.
I stood. I wasn't about to let some foolish girl tell me what to do.
She sighed. "Alright, then. At least hear me out. It would be a lot less confusing for you."
I gave an annoyed grunt, and sat on the floor in front of her.
"No matter how annoyed you get with me, I'm not leaving. I have picked up a burden, and I must make certain that that burden gets lifted from my shoulders."
"Just get straight to the point, Shrimp. I actually have questions you need to answer."
She gave another heavy sigh. "First off, only you can see me. And to answer your question from before... Look, the reason I came here was because I took pity on you. In the past, I thought someone like you would be able to pull through life... But I was wrong. You are terribly troubled, Gajeel. Your soul has been tainted with darkness. I don't want to see someone I am protecting fall to the darkness... Not again..." She whispered the last part. Her posture seemed slouched, and I saw her face take on a sorrowful expression.
'Not again'?
"So I have made it my duty to see that the darkness is far away from you, and you are safe. If you want to get rid of me, you will have to improve your life." She concluded. Her face perking up, and giving me a slight smile.
She wants me to completely change?!
No one cares about me! I am all on my own. She shouldn't see to my well being, because no one else has. And no one else should.
"Now, what did you want to ask me, Gajeel?"
I sat in shock. I can't take this. She completely wiped the thoughts from my head!
"H-How? Why you?" I collected my thoughts. More concentrated on my questions, I was able to speak.
"Why were you sent to watch over me?" She seemed shocked by my question.
She took a step back, and her sorrowful face appeared again.
"I died the day you were born. I was assigned to watch over you. Most angels never come to earthland. If an angel stays here too long they could lose their wings, and become a wondering soul. But I don't care... Not anymore. Look... Gajeel," She sat on her shins in front of him.
"Can't you see that I'm risking my own safety to protect yours? Please, just cooperate with me." A small hand came and rested on my shoulder. My attention was now completely on her. I heard her sob again. I couldn't see her eyes, thought. I could tell she was crying.
"I don't want to see you in pain." She managed to say through sobs.
I must be going crazy. Here was this small girl who claimed to be an angel. And apparently she wanted to save me from the 'darkness'...
"What's the darkness?" I asked.
She looked up. Her eyes were slightly red, and her cheeks had shimmering tears trailing down.
She looked so vulnerable...
"Hell." She said. Looking straight into my red eyes, I could see her pupils dilate. Just by that one word. She was scared. Fear had completely seeped into her being, and her skin paled.
I looked back into her eyes. Still shimmering with unshed tears.
She was serious. She was fucking dead serious, and I took it as a joke...
"I'm sorry" I said. I took her hand off my shoulder. Ignoring the fact that I wanted to feel her touch. This was all a mistake. It had to be. This was too unreal. I know she is being serious... It's just too much for me to handle.
Maybe it's just a dream?
Last chance. If you think I should continue this, let me know.
Happy Holidays, and keep a look out for my New Year's one-shot.
