Author's note: Ok s***'s gone nuts. Let's see what happens next!
Chapter 10: Then It's War.
The ballroom filled with vampires looked in shock at this event; especially Levy, who buried herself deeper into Gajeel's arms.
"The fuck you say?!" Gajeel growled at Prince Jet.
"You heard me." Jet growled back "You're holding my bride. So she belongs to me, give her back right this second." Levy felt her heart freeze; her blood running cold. She wanted to pass out, run or vomit (which ever came first). She expected Gajeel to let her go and give her a glare, like the one he gave her the night she left. But instead, she felt him hold her tighter. Levy looked up at him and found Gajeel giving the worst death stare on the planet to Prince Jet.
"She's one of us now." Gajeel told the werewolf "I won't let you lay a hand on her."
"This is your last warning." Prince Jet growled "Give me Levy, or I will take her by force." Levy literally buried her face into Gajeel's chest, cowering in fear over this situation.
"Why should I listen to you? You did break into my territory. And so did your men, twice to be exact! This is the third time you tresspassed on my land! I think you should leave!" Jet let out a ferocious growl and before Levy could blink, she found herself in Jet's arms and he was making a mad-dash for the door.
"You're coming with me." Jet growled at her "You're my bride and that's final." Before he could reach the door, they slammed shut and Jet was attacked by Natsu and Gray.
"Take you're filthy hands off her!" Natsu screamed. Levy was held onto tighter by Jet as these attacks began.
"That's my friend!" Lucy screamed before blasting an attack on Jet that almost had him seeing stars.
"Levy's one of us!" Erza screamed "Lay a filthy hand on her, you deal with us!" The attack sent Jet flying into the wall and Levy into the air. She expected to feel the hard marble floors but landed bridal style in Gajeel's arms.
"You alright Shrimp?" Gajeel asked.
"Yeah." Levy gulped "Thanks everyone." Jet got up from where he landed and wiped away the blood dripping from his mouth.
"So you made my bride one of your own?" Jet replied "Yet you haven't Sired her? I find that suspicious to be honest." Jet quickly grabbed Levy and pulled her close to him.
"Keep away from her!" Gajeel screamed.
"Levy," Jet said to her sternly "do you think you can trust these leeches? They may of accepted you into their Coven but it's only going to hurt you in the end." Jet took Levy's right hand and made a small cut with his nail. Levy yelped in pain and watched as Jet squeezed blood right out of her finger.
"Take a look." Levy looked around and looked in horror; everyone was beginning to show desire to drink her dry. Panting heavily, shaking, drooling and looking tempted to drink the blood coming from her finger. Even Gajeel was showing signs of wanting to drink the blood "They're your enemies Levy, they only want to drink your blood. You're nothing but their blood bank! They'll keep you around until they dried you u-"
"Shut up!" Gajeel screamed "You have no idea what goes on here. The shrimp's been here for months and I never once laid a hand on her! She was sick when she got here and was getting worse. I had my friend cure her so she could live to see her own children."
"Hmm. Then thanks for keeping her alive for me." Levy backed away from Prince Jet and did something he didn't expect; she took some of the lemons she found on a buffet table, quickly cut them and squeezed them, neutralizing the odor in the air.
"Thank God." Natsu puffed.
"We've warned you enough." Erza said to Prince Jet in a serious tone "Leave this place at once, or face the wrath of our Coven." The Vampires formed a mob and looked at the werewolves with a serious tone.
"Fine." Jet smirked "Then, it's war. Lord Gajeel, the contract you made with my grandfather is officially null and void." With a deadly glint in his eyes, Prince Jet left the ballroom with his men. Leaving the vampires in a stunned silence.
"Levy," Erza suddenly said in a serious tone "what's going on here?" Levy took a deep breath before sniffling.
"I'm sorry everyone." Levy sniffed "Especially you Gajeel, I should of told you when I had the chance. I wasn't kidnapped to be a sacrifice to Prince Jet, I was suppose to marry him!"
"What?!" the entire room screamed.
"Marrying off a member of my village has been tradition for fifty years. If we refuse, the entire village will be slaughtered. I thought my parents would step in and protect me, but they decided to save their skins by letting them take me. Oh God, I put you all in danger! I'm so sorry!" She began to let her tears flow and ripped out the largest sob anyone could hear. As she cried, she felt a cold hand on her shoulder, Gajeel's. He took her into his arms and comforted her.
"Shrimp," he soothed "I knew this." Levy looked up in shock.
"Y-you knew?"
"Lily predicted your arrival here about a year ago. He predicted the war was to come. I just remembered that not too long ago." Levy couldn't believe she was hearing this, Gajeel knew? "I'm not gonna let them get you. You're not leaving my side anytime." Levy's eyes rolled more tears down, but they weren't tears of sadness, they we're tears of joy.
"Thank you." she muttered to him. Gajeel helped Levy up and took her hand before kissing it.
"Come on Shrimp." Gajeel smirked "I'll take you back to your room. In fact, I think it would be best if we all retired for the night. We got shit to talk about tomorrow." He took Levy and walked out of the ballroom.
