Chapter 9: Secret's Revealed

Normal P.O.V.

Gajeel, Levy, and Erza are sitting around a campfire while Levy wraps some of her hair around Gajeel's injured hand.

"So... you're being strangely cryptic as you wrap your fucking messed up magic hair around my injured hand." He said sarcastically before wincing when she puts pressure on the wound.

"Sorry~!" she apologized before sighing, "Just don't... don't freak out." she warns him.

He gives her a skeptic look before hearing her sing,

"Flower gleam and glow.
Let your power shine."

As she sings, her hair starts to glow. Gajeel sees it glow and follows it around, freaking out on the inside, despite Levy's warning.

"Make the clock reverse.
Bring back what once was mine."

He sees Erza give him a confident smirk and pointing at his hand. He looks at his hand and sees the hair glow around it.

"Heal what has been hurt.
Change the fate's design."

He looks back at Erza and all she does is shrugs and silently tells him, "This is how it works, jack ass."

"Save what has been lost.
Bring back what once was mine.

What once was mine."

Levy finishes singing and her hair stops glowing. She looks at Gajeel with a worried look on her face while he takes the hair off his hand. Once off, he starts to show a slight panic attack but Levy screeches,

"Please don't freak out!"

Not wanting to worry her, he just brushes it off with a strangely fast compliment/question.

"I'm-not-freaking-out-are-you-freaking-out-no-I'm-just-very-interested-in-your-hair-and-the-magical-quantities-that-it-possesses-how long has it been doing that exactly?"

"Uh...forever, I guess?" Levy says unsure before sighing, "Minerva says that when I was a baby, people tried to cut it. They wanted to take it for themselves. But, once it's cut, it turns blue and loses it's power." She shows him a part of her hair that is blue.

"A gift like that, it has to be protected. That's why Minerva never let me..." She sighs dejectedly, "That's why I never left the... hmm."

"...You never left that tower." Gajeel finished. She looks back with a guilty look.

"And you still want to go back to that bitch?" He asks appalled.

"No! Yes. Ugh! It's so damned complicated!" She says in frustration. She puts her hands through her hair before calming down and asks,

"So... Gajeel Redfox, huh?"

"Uh, yeah. Well. I'll spare you the sob story of poor orphan Gajeel Redfox, it's a little bit of a... that's a bit of a downer." Gajeel blushes and rubs the back of his neck in embarrassment. Levy scoots closer with anticipation and excitement for a story in her eyes, waiting for him to begin.

God damn it she's cute! Gajeel laughs nervously before sighing,

"There was this book, a book I used to read every night to all the younger kids - 'The Tales of Metalicana'." Both Levy and Erza gasped.

"YOU READ A BOOK!" They both exclaimed/thought. He gave them both a glare before continuing, " Badass rogue, richest man alive, not bad with the ladies, either. Not that he would want to brag about it, of course." He says with a wink.

"Hmm... Was he a thief, too?" Levy asks with curiosity in her voice.

"Uh... well, no." He said with disappointment in his voice.

"Actually, he had enough money to do anything that he wanted to do. Hell, he could go anywhere he wanted to go. And, and, and for a kid with nothing, I don't know, I... Just seemed like a better option." Fuck! I am such a pansy for telling this little runt my past.

Levy puts her hand over his with sympathy in her eyes.

"You can't tell anyone about this, got it? It could ruin my whole reputation." He tells her with seriousness in his voice.

"Oh, we wouldn't want that." Levy says with mock concern.

"A fake reputation is all a man has." He winks at her. She just nods in agreement.

Gajeel clears his throat before saying, "Well, I should, um... I, I should... I should get some more firewood." He blushes. Shit! I'm not supposed to be blushing! What the fuck is WRONG with me! he yells at himself while getting up to get firewood.

"Hey!" Levy says, stopping the thief in his tracks.

"For the record, I like Gajeel Redfox MUCH better than Metalicana." She says with a blush.

"Well, then you'd be the first... but thanks." He replies with a smile then leaves to find the wood. Levy sighs dreamily when suddenly,

"Well! I thought he would never leave!" Levy gasps in horror. When she turns around, she sees Minerva in her cloak with a sinister smile on her face.

"M-M-MINERVA!" she shrieks out.

"Hello, dear!" Minerva says sweetly.

"But I, I, I, I don't, uh... How did you find me?" the girl asked nervously, while Erza blended in with the log.

"Oh, it was easy really." She replies while distractedly looking at her nails. "I just listened to the sound of COMPLETE and utter betrayal and followed that."

"Minerva..." Levy sighed.

"We are going home, Levy. NOW!" Minerva said with demand in her voice.

"You, you don't understand. I've been on this INCREDIBLE journey and I've seen and learned so much. And I even met someone." Levy interjects.

"Yes, the wanted thief, I'm so proud. Come on, Levy." the wicked sister says in boredom.

"Minerva, wait. I think... I think he likes me." the bookworm says with a blush.

"Likes you? Please, Levy, that's demented." She says with disgust.

"But, Minerva, I..." the young girl tries to explain.

"This is why you never should have left." Minerva continues making Levy sigh in exasperation.

"Dear, this whole romance that you've invented.
Just PROVES you're too naïve to be here
Why would he like you? Come on now, really.
Look at you! You think that he's impressed?" She points to Levy with an amused look on her face.

"Don't be a missy, come to sissy
Minerva..." "NO!" Levy interrupts.

"No?!" Minerva says in shock before turning into evil Minerva. "Oh. I see how it is." She slowly walks up to her and sings,

"Rapunzel knows best
Rapunzel's so MATURE now
Such a clever grown up miss." She pats her on the head.

"Levy knows best
Fine, if you're so sure now
Go ahead and show him THIS!" She pulls out the satchel shocking Levy.

"H-how did you...?" She asks nervously.

"THIS(pulls out crown) is why he's here!
Don't let him deceive you!
Give it to him, watch, you'll see!" Minerva sings out tossing the crown to Levy.

"I will!" she says with confidence in her voice.

"Trust me, my dear
(snaps fingers)That's how fast he'll leave you
I won't say I told you so!
No, LEVY knows best!
So if he's such a dreamboat
Go and put him to the test!" She puts satchel around Levy and circles around her getting into her personal bubble.

"Minerva, wait-" Levy tries to stop her.

"If he's lying, don't come CRYING!
MINERVA KNOWS BEST!" She disappears into the night. Levy looks at the crown in concern before hearing in the distance,

"OI! Can I ask you something?" Gajeel yells out. Levy hides the satchel and crown somewhere safe.

"Is there any chance that I'm gonna get super strength in my hand because I'm not gonna lie. that would be fucking AWESOME!" he asks while entering the campsite. He notices Levy fidgeting.

"Hey, are you alright, Shrimp?" He asks with concern.

"Hm? OH! Sorry, yes! Just, um, lost in thought, I guess." she replies while silently praying, Please buy it! Please buy it!

Gajeel shrugs it off before continuing, "I mean because here's the thing. Superhuman good looks, I've always had them-BORN with it, but SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH? Can you imagine the possibilities of this...?" he asks excitedly.

Behind some bushes near the campsite, Minerva and the Twin Dragons are looking at the group. The Twin Dragon's start to go toward them, when Minerva stops them.

"Patience, boys. All good things to those...who wait..." she says with a sinister smirk.
