Chapter 2
"Gajeel's Eyes"
Gajeel plodded into the Phantom Lord guild, carrying his bundle loosely on her shoulder. His mission was done and now all he needed to do was wait. There was certain to be a fight between the two guilds and Gajeel was excited to go against them. They were such a weak guild and had to be taken down a peg or two he thought. He grinned his wolfish smile as he thought of the destruction he had left behind; their guidl hall in shambles, some members beaten and tied to a tree in the city park. he scowled as his mind brought up that team. They were one of the weakest in the guild but were treated as one of the most beloved. He had seen how Fairy Tail had accepted them and treated them and felt it was injustice. The weak should be destroyed as the strong prospered. That was how Phantom Lord worked. So he had to teach those insipid fairies a lesson.
It had been so easy too. They were careless. Stupid. They did not even think for a moment that they could be in trouble so close to their precious coddling guild. The two men had gone down first, throwing pitiful attacks towards him. They had been so weak and idiotic. The girl had tried to run at first, after watching her teammates fall so easily. She had tried to make it back to her guild, probably the wisest move the shrimpy girl could make. She was still too slow though and gajeel had not had any trouble finding her. He had followed her over rooftops, watching as the bobbing blue head wound through the alleys. He jumped from the roof to block her path. Standing at his full height he towered the girl and cast her into his shadow. She had been so scared, panting and sweating, the smell of fear wafting off in waves. He had felt such disgust and wanted to finish this quickly. But she had surprised him, throwing spells at him, blindingly him with a sudden appearance of flame in between them. While his eyes blinked away the white spots, he sensed her petite figure trying to race past under his arm and against the wall. His hand snaked out and grasped her arm sharply and slammed her against the ground. She writhed against his grasp and, as his eyes caught her other wrist moving against the air, another flame erupted between them. Despite it's bright light the heat was not substantial enough to shake his grip and in the red glow her eyes met his with a fght and a fierceness that had been missing from her teammates. Gajeel almost could not believe it. Where had the scared little thing gane? He could not believe her moxy. She met his gaze with her own, not breaking eye contact. He quickly knocked her out and carried her back to where her teammates lay. His mind not letting him forget about her eyes.
(AN: I like short chapters, quick and easy. Woo. A bit more explanation here than there were in the last chapter so hopefully you dear readers can understand what's going on a teensy bit more. I was so concerned that the last chapter was too short and didnt explain things well. I love critiques and hope you guys are enjoying the story so far. Read lots darlings!)
