Chapter 10

"Levy...your shrieking is in my ear." Rogue shouted letting go to cover his ears. "it's not me! it's some sort of magic!" she screamed back towards him glancing around trying to find him in this darkness. "the darkness is a form of magic too! I can't see anything!" he shouted glancing around. "Then it must be a type of kidnapping mag-!" Levy shouted back towards him. "Levy?" he asked as there was a loud 'clomp' onto the stage. "yo Rogue...if you think this is going to save yer arse you've got another thing coming!" the voice of Gajeel growled.

"f*ck, where is she?" Rogue struggled to glance this way and that. "one thing I learned the best when you first came to the dark guild is how to work in the dark." Gajeel's voice almost sounded threatening. "How come Gajeel can hear?" Rogue thought as something pounded itself into his stomach, reaching up quickly to attempt to block it. "it's cold..metal? Did Gajeel just attack me?" he felt everything buzz as he wondered where Levy was. Surely she wouldn't of just sat there if someone was attacked.

"Levy?"

"don't you dare call to her!" another metal pipe went flying at him as he barely managed to duck feeling it graze his hair. "This isn't my first time in the dark either!" he shouted back. The light's flickered as he glanced where Levy would've been standing only a minute before the light's flickered off. Two of the unrecognizable people were dragging Levy away not a sound coming from either of them. "Make this buzzing go away!" he shouted at Rogue. "so he hears it too." Rogue inquired.

"Levy's in trouble!" he shouted towards Gajeel shouted something unrecognizable at him but it sounded like a threat and a ton of cursing. It was abruptly ignored, more like unheard so Rogue turned quickly struggling to vanish into his own shadow as Gajeel hit him with another metal rod. "I will get him back." Rogue glared towards Gajeel sending shadows to try to pin him down. "Is this because you like her so much, are you jealous? I apparently won over her affections in less than a week." Rogue antagonized waiting for an opening. Gajeel paused his face was probably bright red by now. "No...I will protect my guild members as a fairy tail wizard, and you made her unhappy." Gajeel shouted as fire, in the shape of the word, bounced off of the metal.

There faces lit up bright orange as the both turned their heads to see Levy struggling with two people one who was holding her, arm wrapped around her neck, the other just watching the fight carefully as if trying to figure out which one's eyes to take. "The eye thief!." Rogue stated feeling himself push up moving towards her with rapid speed, as Gajeel spun around. "the f*ck you say?" Gajeel asked as the light's came back on.

The audience gaped in amazement looking at the play they had seen unfold in front of them, sparks that flew off of the stage seemed utterly amazing. "Where are you!" he shouted as the crew quickly worked it close the curtains the audience members slightly confuse making up endings for themselves as they all stood up clapping enthusiastically.

"What do you think happened to the princess?"

"she was obviously kidnapped.":

"I think she rejected them both, that must've been the prince that showed up to win his wife back after neglecting her attention, but she left them both!"

The audience was talking in utter amusement. But that didn't matter, what they had seen live in front of them was indeed a kidnapping. Rogue stared at the floor. "They were teasing me..." he knew that, they kept turning his vision on and off so he would go after them. "What was the big deal buddy?" Gajeel grabbed him by the collar as Rogue looked up to him. "I owe you several punches." Rogue slurred back towards him.

"they can wait though, there's something more important I need to get to"

"Oh really? what would that be?" Gajeel was shaking him as shadows begun rising from the ground, he was obviously angry the shadows slowly began to take shape of a raging fire that cut like knives, leaving burn marks in the floor. "Rogue what's wrong?" Jessie shouted as Gajeel glared at her. "stay right where you are" he shouted at her, she quickly sunk to the floor hiding her head below the clipboard she was carrying.

"I've been more than patient with you." rogue said wrapping him tightly in shadows so tightly a normal person would've suffocated. "Rogue, you're going to cut his head off..turn him over to the police or something." Jessie was almost crying it was hard for her to say because she knew what she really feared was the person entrapped in shadows.

"show him the script." Rogue sighed dropping Gajeel to the floor who was quickly agitated. "wait you're from Fairy Tail too?" Jessie questioned moved closer slowly inch by inch as he looked up she flinched. "It's fine I won't hurt you." Gajeel sighed. "It's not that I just saw that altercation right now, brothers will fight, it's just that I was attacked by someone who reminds me of you a while ago." Jessie whispered. "Wouldn't it be the other way around?" he sighed eyes widening as he read the last line. Grumbling he handed it back to her. "It may say this in the play, but still..." Gajeel sighed trying to come up with an excuse. Ignoring Gajeel, Rogue stormed out into the town where thousands of people were coming and going to and fro. He was on a mad hunt for Levy.

"They are going to pay, no one makes me look like a fool...especially in my element."
