Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I have been way too overly excited with 'The Pheonix'... EKKKKKKKKKKKK... Yeah.

But I realized that this needs more attention. So I'll try to write this. I don't know how far this will go... Maybe after this chapter there will be two or three more... I don't know. I still have to work out details. I also have a really sweet ending to this. But don't be mistaken... It's not the brightest...

Chapter 3

Bad to Good


~Gajeel's POV~

It's all a dream. It's all a dream. There is not an angel hovering in my apartment. Wait-What!?

"Hi, Gajeel." The hovering angel says...

I stare at her blankly, from across the room. Wondering what the hell she plans on doin.

"Sooo, you wanna get started?" She asks, now setting her bare feet onto the floor.

"With what!?"How is she going to torture me!?

"OK, well first off, we gotta change your attitude, make sure you don't get arrested, and then do good deeds."

"I'll do the second one."

"Gajeel, you can't just do that. If you want me to leave you alone, you have to do all three." She taunts.

I stare at her. Collecting my thoughts, I notice a slight error in her demands."You said I gotta change my attitude. Well, I don't think that's gonna happen, shrimp. You can't just pop up, and say 'Change your attitude!' No, I will not just change myself just like that. I can't. I am my own person, and I am not really used to...Being nice..."

She sighed. "I guess you're right..." Her voice trails off, and she looks at her bare feet. "But-" Her face twirls back to meet my gaze. "You have to work on being nicer to people." She finishes. I give an annoyed groan, and sit against the wall.

"So, come'on!" She said cheerfully! So here I was. An angel that only I could see was guiding me through the city, just so I could do 'good deeds'. And apparently that meant things like; helping an old lady cross the street. Or, hanging out with my cousins, and their cats...Flying and talking cats...I also had to quit the gang I was in. So by dinner time, I was looking for a new job. Thanks to the angel, I have lost my job. Fantastic! Haha, Not. She kept saylng some weird shit like 'Just trust him.' I know, It's confusing. She's confusing. This whole fucking mess is confusing.

The sun had started going down, and I decided to head home. Oh, but of course she had to follow me.

"Gajeel," She said shyly. I glanced behind me, to see her walking like a normal person-not an angel...

I grunted in response. "There's somewhere I want you to go, first." She continued. She started walking away from me, and I followed. She stopped at an animal shelter.

"Why the hell are we here, Shrimp?" I asked. I'm unemployed, and she expects me to take care of an animal!? HELLLL NOOO!

She frowned at the brick building she had led me to. "I figured...That maybe you could give an animal a shot at a new life, just like I am with you." Her voice died down. I am not good with the waterworks! She cannot have an emotional breakdown on me! "Come'on! Give it a shot!" She perked up, and I couldn't help but agree with her sweet smile. We walked into the animal shelter. I passed by the many cages of dogs, and She kept standing by a door. I glanced at her, and saw her eyes water. And that's when I saw the sign on the door.

It was the room where they put down animals.

Two men in volunteer uniforms were walking towards the door, with a crate between them. "So no one wanted the little guy?" The female volunteer asked her partner. "No, everyone thought he was some undeserving freak." The man responded. "Oh, so that's what all the people thought of me." A third voice chimed in. Wait... Were they going to put down a person!? No, they couldn't. That's not right. What else could it be? What animal could talk? It might be a parrot. But the voice sounded like an actual person, not an animal.

I walked up to the man, who had the small crate. "Could I see it?" I asked. His eyes widened. "Sure." he muttered. I peered into the small crate, and saw a black and white cat. "Whatcha lookin at, spikey?" The cat said. The cat talked! Does he fly, like my cousins' cats?!

I chuckled. "I like him. Can I adopt him, or are you gonna throw his life away?" The man's eyes widened even wider. "Come right this way, sir." The woman said for her partner, who looked like he was dying of shock.

So now me, shrimp, and the cat are walkin back to my place. That is... Until I saw a feather fall from Shrimp's wings. I picked it up, and examined it for a brief moment. I could hear her gasp.

"What's this, Shrimp?"


I know you all will probobly spam me for this chapter. I am so sorry for the late update, and you're gonna have to live with this cliffhanger.

Not a lot happened, but It still needed to get done, because it was essential for the plot.

I absolutely hate animal abuse, and having to put down animals. It's really sad, but I needed to do something realistic. Go Gajeel, for saving an animal!

Also, I currently have two stories on hold- 'The girl next door' and 'The girls on vacation' Let me know if they should be updated soon. Suggestions wouldn't hurt, either.

Follow, favorite, and comment!

Until next time my lovelies!

XOXO
