Once upon a time, there was a kingdom called Fiore. In this kingdom, there was a small village that lay right before a forest that lay inbetween them and the capital city's outskirts.

In this village, was a miller who had two children. A boy named Jet and a girl named Levy. Now, their biological mother died from illness and their father couldn't raise them on his own, so he married a secretly dark mage who hated his children. Her name was Sorano and while she protrayed herself as angelic, she was truly wicked. She even poisoned her own husband for control of the mill. One day, her abuse went to the point of this:

"Levy I can't take it anymore! Angel treats us worse than the dog! At least it gets fed daily crusts! We need to leave here!" Jet yelped after their stepmother had went into town to get supplies.

"But Jet, where would we go? She'd catch us as soon as we'd try to leave!" Levy whimpered as she bound his injuries from Sorano's whip.

"We can go through the forest! If we can make it into the forest, and we made it to the capital city, we can tell King Metalicana, or someone official up there so that she can't hurt anyone again," Jet countered as Levy found herself persuaded. So at night when Sorano was asleep, Jet and Levy left in the cover of night. They got a quarte r when they fell asleep against a tree.

When Sorano woke up, she had found her stepchildren gone. She held up a magic mirror and used it to find them in the one place, she'd never enter.

"Those miserable little rats, so they want to be free, well they'll be free after what I now have planned," Sorano gritted as she poured a potion on her magic mirror. It went through the mirror like a portal and it enchanted the waters of the brooks in her step-children's range so that till one of them drink, or they are not in a certain range, the drinker would turn into an animal.

Meanwhile…

Levy and Jet had been walking when they came across a brook. Jet ran up to it and went to drink from it. Before Levy could stop him, he had unknowingly drunk the enchanted water. He then found himself transformed into a deer.

"Jet! I told you to be careful!" Levy squealed as she went to where Jet now was.

"I'm so sorry Levy, please don't leave me here on my own!" Jet, practically begging on his hooves. Levy knelt right next to him, took off her headscarf, and wrapped it around Jet's neck. She hugged him by around his now longer neck and kissed his muzzle.

"Of course I will, but we need to find a place to call home," Levy responded. Not long after, they found an abandoned cottage that could house the both of them. It had dishes, a bed, and even some clothes for Levy to alter as she grew up.

Time skip 7 yrs…

After 7 yrs, Levy had gone from a little girl to a lovely maiden while Jet had been a fawn, he then had become a nice buck with quite the desirable horns.

"Levy, you got to let me out! I'm tired of hiding in these walls. The hooting of the horn is like a calling to me!" Jet pleaded to his now 18-year-old sister, who was fixing the fire.

"Jet, the main hunts of the year are coming and you can't go out then, they'll kill you for sure. Not to mention that, if they kill you, I'll be all alone," Levy reminded Jet as she got a cozy little fire started. She turned to him as she tried to persuade him. But she found that she couldn't persuade him. "Okay but while you are outside, I will have to bolt the door to keep out the hunters. When you come back, say, little sister, let me in so I know it's you. Please be careful and remember, " Levy told Jet as he bounded out the door.

Throughout the day, Jet managed to evade the hunters, but one group had managed to follow him without him knowing to the cottage. They were shocked to hear the buck talk and have the door open to the deer. They went to the newer crowned king of Fiore, Metalicanna's son, Gajeel and told him what they saw.

"And ya sure that is what all of you saw?" Gajeel asked as he looked incredulously at the shocked hunters. They nodded as he thought of what to do. They can't kill the buck yet, but they didn't know what or who it was they were dealing with. "Alright tomorrow, all but one of you will have the buck take a detour but do not harm it. Then the one not with the detour group will show me the way to the cottage. Understand?" he asked after explaining the plan. They nodded and he dismissed them.

The next day all went according to plan, all but one of the men in the hunting group had caused the buck to make a detour around so it would take longer to get back to the cottage. Gajeel and Rogue, the one that stayed behind, had made it to the cottage before Jet had.

Gajeel and Rouge had gone to the door of the cottage and had knocked and had murmured the secret phrase to the person inside. Almost immediately, the door opened for them to find a now confused Levy. They entered the cottage and peered at now scared Levy. Damn, she is gorgeous, even if she is a shrimp. Gajeel thought to himself as he unabashedly stared at Levy. Then he noticed how nervous she looked.

"Umm can I help you, your highness, " Levy asked as she knelt and bowed her head. She kept her gaze down as she blushed as she felt his gaze. Then she felt his one of his hands take her much smaller one. He seems nice, also incredibly handsome, and holding his hand, it feels right. But he'd never want me. Levy thought to herself as she looked up in shock at Gajeel.

Unbeknownst to her, Gajeel's inner dragon approved of her as she was also his type. She was like the key to his iron heart. To him, she was a goddess. A tiny, blue-haired goddess.

"You don't have to act so shy, especially to me. If you want, just talk to me as if I was your closest friend. I wouldn't want to make it awkward whilst I talk to my future mate, " Gajeel told Levy as he heard not only Levy's shocked gasp but Rogue's as well.

"What! I can't be your mate, we just met, " Levy spoke, keeping her head down. She blushed as she felt his hands take hers.

"The mating of dragons doesn't work through arrangements, it is fate. Believe me when I say that when I first saw you, I fell for you already. For I have never met a more radiant beauty before, " Gajeel told Levy as he laid in the charm in his words. She blushed even more as he helped her stand. "Will you become my queen?" Gajeel asked as he knelt in front of Levy. He noticed that he didn't have to look up that much and he found rather hilarious.

"Yes but I can't leave my little fawn, he has to come with me, " Levy answered as she smiled softly.

"Of course he comes with you. He can live in the castle grounds and I won't let any hunters harm him, " Gajeel exclaimed as he took Levy's hand and used his magic to make a ring and it to be on her finger. Just as he finished, Jet bounded in the room.

After they had packed up Levy's belongings, after years, Levy and Jet finally left the cottage. She rode with Gajeel while Jet had walked beside them. When they had arrived at the palace, Gajeel dismounted and had carried Levy inside while Jet went to the gardens with Rogue. After an hour, Levy's clothes were far finer than that of what she used to wear. Then she had finally met up with Gajeel. Then he addressed the people in his kingdom about the finding of his mate and about his future wedding.

Finally the marriage of Gajeel and Levy came. It was as if they were glowing with joy and love. It was celebrated all accross the city with great pomp and joy. 10 months later Levy had given birth to twins and had named them Shutora and Yaje. Yaje was older so he'd be the next king. You would think that this was the end but alas, it isn't.

Sorano had heard about her step-children's happiness and hated it. So she plotted on ways to ruin it. She finally came up with a plan: Sorano would sneak into the palace as a nursemaid and when she had Levy alone, she'd kidnap her. Then she'd hide her in a cavern on a treacherous mountain. And then leave her there under a spell. That would not only destroy Jet but the king that supposedly "loves" that useless tramp and leave her children motherless. Not to mention the kingdom that liked that weak child of a queen.

The time came when she had the best chance of success when Gajeel had to go and settle a trade agreement in a nearby city. Sorano used a potion that let use transformation magic and had disguised herself as an old nursemaid. She snuck inside the palace with servants bringing in supplies for the babies. She finally found her target with her children. She had just gotten them to get the infants to sleep. She had left them in the care of the guards and the nurses in the room. Sorano then followed Levy to her chambers and transformed herself into a shadow to get in unseen.

As Levy began to get ready for bed, she set her crown on her dresser, only to hear the one voice she'd thought she was free of.

"Well if it isn't the new queen, or should I say my old pet? Don't even think of screaming for help, I've put up a sound barrier around the castle. No one will be able to hear your cries for help, " Sorano crooned as she held a vial in her hand and a large coil of rope on her arm.

"Step-mother?!?!" Levy cried as she backed away slowly. She paled at the sight of her. She, unknowingly to Sorano, activated an alarm to the castle guards.

"Oh, you remember me? I feel like it's been such a long time. Have you missed me?" Sorano stalked towards Levy like how a cat would corner a mouse before killing it.

"How can I forget, we were your toys, and you treated us cruelly. Please leave us alone, we have been free now for years!" Levy cried as she was now backed up against a wall. Sorano seized Levy and had forcefully had her chug the sleep potion. Before Levy had fallen into her magic-induced slumber, she murmured to her step-mother, "Gajeel will look for me, and he is a relentless hunter."

"Oh he can try my dear child but even if he does, there is only one cure for the potion I had you drink and it is something that does not exist, true love. So sleep my little stepdaughter sleep, for you shall never awaken, " Sorano said as Levy fell into a deep slumber. Sorano shouldered the senseless queen and carried her off as the guards had finally broken into the room. The soprano had arrived at the cavern and tied Levy tightly to a stone pillar so that her body wouldn't be dragged out. She would never be found.

As soon as Gajeel had heard that his wife had been abducted, he rushed home to their chambers to find any scents that lingered. However, when he had arrived to make sure that his children were not harmed by his beloved wife's captor, he found a frightened nurse maid staring into a room through the crack from the doorway. What he saw through the crack was rather confusing in itself. It was Levy looking at her children with loving yet sad smiles. "Oh it saddens me even more so now that I might never get to see you after this, " Levy whispers to her children as she fixes their swaddles and places them in their cradles. Before she can leave, Gajeel went to his beloved wife and wrapped his arms around her.

"Wait why can't you stay?" Gajeel asked his wife as he noticed how dirty she was.

"Oh Gajeel, I did not want to leave you or our beloved children. I was taken by my step-mother, Sorano. She forcefully had me take a sleeping potion, and now I am being held on Phantom Mountain, in a cavern. The only reason you can see me right now is the strength our love, but the only way to free me is a showing of your love for me. I have to go through because I have very little energy left, Please hurry Gajeel, " She wept as he held her though as she finished telling him what had happened, she vanished.

"I will find you, Levy, I promise, " Gajeel muttered as he raced to his chambers and packed a pack with a set of clothes, food, water, and weapons. He summoned his two most trusted men: Rogue and his personal knight Pantherlily. His plan was that they would go there and rescue Levy. If the bitch that took Levy was there, he'd kill her. Or just plain out have her taken and then executed. Whichever came first.

Time skip a week of traveling…

They had finally arrived at the mountain. They had scaled it until Lily found the cavern that Levy was being held. Gajeel found Levy gagged and tied to a rock pillar. Guarding her, was a serpentine-like creature that hissed at them when it had noticed the rescuers. Gajeel motioned to Rogue to go around the cavern in his shadow form and to get Levy while he and Lily distracted the creature. After an almost too easy fight, with a still sleeping Levy, the creature fell. Gajeel went over to her comatose form and kissed her forehead. Almost immediately, Levy's eyes opened and she slipped her arms around his neck as he lifted her into his arms so she can get carried down.

When they got halfway, they heard an angry shriek from the cavern was Levy was being held, prisoner. Levy whimpered as Gajeel handed her to Rogue. The shriek came from a fuming Sorano as she teleported to where the group was. She had her hands ready to cast a spell, but before she had the chance, Lily had gotten behind her and knocked out Sorano. He placed anti magic cuffs on her wrists and had Rouge shadow travel her to her new cell. And they lived happily ever after… Except for the false angel.
