Chapter 10
Time seemed to stop. BANG. Blood dispersed from Jet's chest before he coughed blood and fell to the ground. Gajeel looked up shocked to see Natsu holding a pistol.
"You okay Metal Head?" Natsu asked grinning offering his hand to Gajeel
"Shut up Flame Brain" Gajeel grinned also taking Natsu's hand helping him up.
As they both looked down from the roof they saw more authorities taking control of the area until all the enemy was taken into custody. When they both reached the cars Igneel was being attended to sitting in an ambulance. He looked up and saw the two smiling.
"I'm glad you two are okay. After all these years- we finally caught Black Shadow all thanks to you and Levy" Igneel said whilst hissing at the pain in his shoulder that the doctor was tampering with.
Gajeel's face went pale. Levy. He remembered that horrible sight that would never be flushed from his mind. Natsu seemed to understand this and handed Gajeel some keys to a Black SUV getting inside with him also.
They rushed to the hospital, abandoning the speed limits completely.
When they arrived, they rushed to the front desk demanding Levy's room number. Out of fear the desk lady gave them the directions immediately. Room 239.
Natsu decided to give Gajeel some time alone with her.
Gajeel entered the room to see Levy bandaged from head to toe. She was put on oxygen and on a drip. The doctor walked in and looked up from his clipboard looking at Gajeel.
"You must be the boyfriend of the patient?" Gajeel nodded faintly his eyes not leaving her.
"Well to be honest, it is a miracle she has survived- she should be dead. She has suffered large blood loss from deep cuts and rips in her skin all over her body. She also has broken all but one of her ribs. She is currently unconscious but should be waking up soon. The good news is that she should heal in a couple of months depending on her progress." The doctor looked at Gajeel and then two Levy.
"I will leave you two alone- I will be back soon. If anything happens, don't hesitate to call one of us" And then the doctor exited the room.
Gajeel took a seat next to Levy grabbing her hand and intertwining his rough ones with her soft one.
A tear trickled down his cheek, which he quickly wiped away.
"I'm so sorry Lev. It was my fault you got caught". He brought her hand up to his lips and gently kissed it sniffling.
He remained there for a while before resting his head on her bed and falling asleep.
Levy's POV
As soon as I opened my eyes I felt a mixture of aching and burning pain all over my body. I grimaced, as my eyes adjusted to the bright light filling the room. I looked around and noticed a black mop of hair on my bed leaning on his tanned, studded arms.
I slowly grabbed his hand and kissed it. He stirred and jolted his head up looking at me.
"Hey" I said nervously
He immediately got up and wrapped his arms around me like he would never let go of me.
"Levy you fucking scared me. I'm never letting you go again- I'm so sorry. I should've told you about my past". I furrowed my brows at this. "It wasn't your fault Gajeel. I would've found it out eventually. Atleast Black Shadow is gone now.''
He kissed my head and my lips lightly, lovingly. I knew this was the man I would have forever.
