Chapter 14
"Stay awake" she whispered to herself placing her hands firmly on the ground, they were so close but already blurring through the atmosphere. "It's because of the heat...I am not inhaling carbon monoxide..." she mumbled to herself looking towards the lower half of library. If only she could down to at least the door she would have the chance of surviving.
"Something to help me stand" she glanced trying to think straight as she could feel her thinking starting to blur together and black out.
As she glanced up towards the staircase a figure approaching at a steady pace. "Gajeel? No...he's not here right now..." she thought to herself knowing that this was probably a delusion. "Jeez Shrimp you sure are such a handful" he muttered picking her up as he walked back down the library. "Someone get some water in here the library is on fire." Gajeel shouted pointing behind him although they were new comers and no one would listen to her, his stature before being in a 'good' guild had reached them and they made sure to think twice.
"Yes sir" they muttered quickly. "Where'd you find her I've been looking for her all night?" May muttered incapable of keeping her older form in a panic back to her original age tears pricking her eyes as the people behind her whispered. "I knew she wasn't suited for a dark guild master"
"Tell me that twice...we all hoped she would grow up like a perfect dark guild's master's daughter but that didn't work"
"She's still too kind"
May was extremely quick to ignore these whispers. "You sure you can handle all of that whispering?" Levy muttered still half awake as May nodded "I am the dark guild master now...I must be stronger than their petty whispers. And Gajeel I am demanding where you have found Levy." May said in a more stern voice stomping her foot down to seem to fulfill her position better.
"I found her in the library." Gajeel said simply no resistance or anything just staring her down as her hair suddenly stood on end like a cat in its fury, May now in no different feelings. "Bring me Pep, now!" May immediately demanded raging around the castle.
"Your fiancé?" another mumbled while the other trembled: "we do us have to? I mean Pep...he's..." the person trailed unable to create a possible sentence. "Yes! Bring me Pep, as your dark guild leader I demanded his presence!" May shouted swinging around as the doors slammed open at the top of the stairs.
"The funny thing about that is I'm staging a take-over" he smiled brushing his hair back behind his ear with a killer smile swords hanging from a wrap around his waist and a sword in each hand. "Honey your games as a pretend dark guild leader are over...everyone knows you are incapable of leading anyone to any victory." Pep smiled towards May's glares.
"You told me no one was in the library! These people are our guests how dare you lie to me!" May shouted "Well yes the reason she was in the library was my fault to" he smiled innocently like that was an accident. "What I want for my people is to lead them to peace where the world can see them as more than villains and they don't have to flinch at every sliver of light thrown towards them, and where they won't have to worry about it being snatched away...And you are bad for my people, I must expose of you!" May shouted picking up a sword from the table and pointing it at him. "Tonight I will rid my castle of you!" she shouted, minions from the magic 'Shade' appearing at her side.
And that is how a war that will change their fates begun.
