A Big shout out to The16th! Thank you for being my first review. EPPP Alright guys! I want some more reviews! Please tell me what you think. Well here goes chapter two!

Levy woke up three days later. She looked around the room trying to figure out her surroundings. Wondering if she was still in the castle.

She sighed when she knew the room

"Just the infirmary" She smiled.

Levy sat up and winced in pain. She pulled back the blanket and saw the damage. Broken ribs, had some internal bleeding, cuts along her back and tummy, and a sprained ankle.

"It could have been worse?" She shrugged and sighed.

Levy looked around again and noticed that it was dark except for the candle lit by her bed side desk. She grabbed a mirror and looked at her face. She had a cut above her left eye brow, black eyes and a hand shaped bruise on her neck.

"He did worse" She said to herself and put down the mirror. She glanced around one last time and noticed the other beds were made and were empty.

"Where is Jet and Droy?" She asked out loud. 'Wow I am really speaking my mind right now' she thought.

"If yer lookin for 'em, they were all better yesterday" A male voice sounded from the dark corner.

Levy choked on air and grabbed her chest from the sudden voice.

"You scared me half to death! I thought..." She trailed off breathing in and out slowly.

He stepped out of the shadows and into the light with a grin on his face.

'No emotions? Not one trace? Does he not…oh yeah I remember now' she was thinking to herself and she felt her heart crack a little.

"Oi!" He said loudly to her the bluenettes attention. She looked up from her thought and noticed him at the foot of her bed.

"What are you doing here Gajeel?" She asked, putting all emotion aside making the sentence blank as possible.

"I was told to watch ya' while you were out" He said while playing with the medicine bottles.

Levy ground her teeth together at her remark. "Put them down before you break them" Levy spat.

"Don't get your panties in a bunch" He responded with a smirk and set down the bottles.

Levy huffed, "Well I'm fine so you can just go"

"Whad yer mad bout, Shrimp?" He said and ruffled her hair

"What am I mad about!?" She shouted, she looked up at him and breathed.

"Nothing" She slumped back in the bed and let all emotions go.

'Where were you?' She mentally asked him in her head.

She stared at her hands and he watched her.

'Look at me?' He mentally told her.

She raised her head and looked at him.

'She's covered in cuts and….bruise's' Gajeel thought. He looked over her body and his eyes got stuck on her neck. 'She…cause of me…she' He started to shake.

"Gajeel" She whispered softly, making him look at her.

"Hm" He grunted trying to calm his dragon down.

"Can…can you umm" Levy was trying to say.

Gajeel noticed her trouble and responded, "Well, you gonna say it or not?" He crossed him arms.

"Can you um…play with m-my hair?" She asked him while fiddling with her fingers.

He signed and walked over to the side of her bed and sat down next to her. She moved over so he could have more room. Gajeel laid down next to her and she tilted her head more over to him. He rested his hand on top of the head board and placed he hand on her head and played with her silky hair. Fifteen minutes later she was fast asleep cuddled up close to him.

"She cried out your name" a voice spoke from the door frame.

Gajeel looked up and narrowed his eyes at the man, "Tsk"

"She screamed and cried out your name the entire time. She was sure you would hear her and come in a heartbeat." Jet said walking over to Gajeel said, staring down at Levy with sorrow filled eyes.

"I…we always thought that we could protect her from everything, but then you came and you, alone, proved us wrong. You could protect her much better than we can or ever could" Droy said.

"She fought as hard as she could…but then he got her from behind." Jet said, he started to have tears in his eyes.

"Do you know…do you know what it's like to be right next to a girl, and hear her scream like that? Hear her beg and pled for him to stop and just kill her instead." Jet said, now crying.

Gajeel anger started to build and he started to shake.

"She only yelled your name…no one else's" Droy said. "Not master's, not Natsu's, neither Droy nor I. It was just you"

Gajeel looked over at Levy and he felt his dragon rattle the cage.

'Mine! No one, is allowed to touch her!' His dragon roared.

"So where were you?" They both asked now looking at the dragon slayer.

"You swore that you were going to protect her and be there for her, that all she had to do was say your name…and you would be there." Droy said.

Gajeel didn't answer, so Jet grabbed him by the collar, "WHERE WERE YOU!" Jet said harshly trying not to wake up Levy.

"I'm sorry" He said, but not to them. It was to the sleeping Levy.

"Next time….no there won't be a next time, will there Gajeel" Jet said as he walked out of the room, not looking back.

Gajeel knew what he meant.

"Why did you speak my name, Shrimp?" Gajeel asked the sleeping Levy.

Gajeel pushed aside the hair on her neck so it was just her skin showing. He knew that he shouldn't do this, but his dragon was calling.

He bent his head down so his lips barely touched her neck and breathed on her neck, so she would have his sent. That way other dragon slayers would know that she was marked. He knew that she also had his scared mark on her somewhere, most likely on her back. And he wanted to check and see if it was there. His dragon paced back and forth to see that mark. But his sent was enough to satisfy the dragon in him.

Hey guys!? So what do you think? Good eh? I will try to update every Monday if possible. Thanks for reading and please review!
