Author's note: Talk about a full plate! I've been working on art like a madwoman the past two weeks! My book's release date is coming March 20th on Amazon, so it's been non-stop digital drawing! I'm working on a new website for the book series, as well as starting to get back into sculpting after a long break from it, as well as other commitments. Some I can't explain, others will be revealed in the future. As for that new job I was supposed to do? Yeah, a few weeks ago, it didn't work out. I'm not upset because I literally had no connection to that place and I learned the place had a nasty history of worker abuse. More so, it was a Godsend it didn't work out. Plus I had some mild anxiety this past week. I'm fine for the most part, it just happens sometimes.

As for what I plan to do right now? Do what I've always wanted to do: Focus on my own work and get the career of my dreams! The past two years have been a little crazy; but I'm ready to take the bull by the horns and go for what I want to do. I suggest the same to everyone: 2020 is our year! Follow your hearts and follow your dreams. Don't let a single soul tell you otherwise!!!

Chapter 13: Truth about White

Hours had passed since the lockdown and Levy found herself waking up in Gajeel's arms, naked as the day she was born, she lifted her head up and rubbed her eyes. She studied Gajeel as he slept right next to her, a few snorts coming out of his mouth and then changing into a full blown snore. Levy blinked in surprise at his snoring, but smiled at him.

For a while, Levy had been wanting to get closer to Gajeel; but she never expected it to be like this! She gently caressed her delicate fingers across his chest, feeling the well toned muscles from years of workout routines, and dealing in mechanics. She continued to caress her fingers across his body and became more and more mesmerized by his beauty.

"Keep that up and there will be a round two." Levy almost fell out of the cramped bed hearing that and watched as his red eyes slowly opened.

He began to sit up in the bed and cricked his neck a tad bit to get rid of the pent up feeling in it.

"U-Um, good morning!" Levy squeaked out.

"Morning." he yawned as he stretched his joints "What time is it?"

"I think around 8:30?" she took a look at her cellphone that was still in her pant pocket and confirmed it was close to 8:30 in the morning.

"Ugh God I just want to lay here all fucking day." Gajeel confessed "Maybe have another round or two…." he gave Levy a knowing look which caused her whole face to turn pure red "Aw come on Lev, after half that crap you pulled last night, you still blush like a school girl. Gihihihi." she smacked his chest as he laughed and began to move closer to her as if to kiss her again..

SLAM!!!!!

"Hey Gajeel," a male voice suddenly called out, they looked up to find PantherLily waltzing in the room "I'm back! I know I got a lot of explaining; but I have a message for you and-" he stopped in his tracks when he found both Gajeel and Levy lying in bed together, completely nude with only a blanket to cover them and staring in pure shock.

"Um……." Lily tried to speak out "Am I interrupting something?"

"Uh…" Levy and Gajeel spike in unison before she crawled under the blanket further to hide her naked body. Gajeel however, couldn't care less.

"Well… I cake to tell you that Porlyusica is looking for both of you. I was going to find Levy afterwards; but I think you both killed two birds with one stone for me………."

"Uh, alright- thanks Lily." Levy smiled "Hey can you please-"

"Your secret is safe with me." Lily waved "I know you two would probably want to keep it close lipped for a bit until everything is calmer. And Levy, I do want to have a word with you after you speak with Porlyusica. I have some information you're going to want to hear. Now, please excuse me as I need to go pretend I never saw this…" Lily left the room that moment as the two began to get their bearings together.

"The fuck you think that old hag wants?" Gajeel asked as he placed his boxers on.

"Lord knows." Levy sighed as she got her bra on "But it must be important if she wants an audience with us. She's not one for company."

"Yeah, yer telling me. I think that old hag was enjoying digging that bullet outta me too much."

"Porlyusica hates people but she's not sadistic…."

"Maybe it's just me." he grabbed a set of pants he had in one of the drawers and found Levy's top, tossing it to her so she could put it on.

"Well, maybe what she has to say is important." Levy theorized "Hopefully what she has to say is something that can end this whole thing once and for all."

"Yeah. Fucking sick and tired of not being able to go try some of those raids or blow up cars." Gajeel admitted before finally placing on his shirt, grabbing some shoes and leaving with Levy.

Porlyusica sat in her office, placing a few samples of hair and an unknown substance into a few test tubes and watched it bubble. Gajeel and Levy enteredGajeel and Levy entered the room and closed the door behind them.

"You wanted to see us Porlyusica?" Levy asked.

"Ah yes." she nodded "PantherLily managed to get a sample of White. Like I requested."

"Wait," Gajeel realized "Lily left to go get that fucked up drug that's been going around?"

"I was planning to do it myself." Levy confessed "However, Lily volunteered to go undercover and grab a small sample. I asked for nothing too big because I didn't want him captured by The White Mage."

"And it's great he got what he did." Porlyusica interjected "Because the sample was decent enough to run a few small tests. And I have some news." she pulled out her microscope and a few slides to show the newly formed couple. She motioned for them to come forth and Levy did. She looked into the microscope and noticed something off with it.

"It looks like a strain of cocaine." Levy pointed out.

"Exactly." Porlyusica confirmed "But look closer." Levy looked closer and began to realize what she meant.

"The molecular structure is similar to ours! But it's different!"

"I have a feeling it was tampered with." the couple looked in pure shock hearing this.

"Hold the fuck up!" Gajeel hissed "You're telling me someone took our blow and changed it?!"

"It's a crude way of putting it but yes." Porlyusica confirmed.

"How the hell did they do that?!"

"I don't know; but I'm looking further into it and it seems to me, theythey're looking to make it for brainwashing purposes." the whole room grew silent at that. Horror filled Levy's veins before she managed to clamor for her cellphone and make a phone call.

"E-Erza." she swallowed "I need you to find a few people to leave the bunker, grab as many explosives as you can. And burn the lab down."

"What?!" Erza replied on the phone "Levy, are you positive?! That warehouse has over 600,000 worth of cocaine! It's enough for all of us to leave the town! Are you sure you-"

"We can make up for it! I just got some extremely disturbing news and I need that place burned to the ground immediately."

"Lev-"

"JUST DO IT!!!"

Levy hung up her cellphone and let out a few deep breaths.

"Oh God." Levy breathes "I knew it was a bad idea from the start; but it was the only way. I should've just made us steal cars or sell pot, that's the least harmful!" Levy began to feel her tears well up in her eyes as she sobbed. Gajeel places his arms around Levy and did everything in his power to comfort the weeping girl.

Porlyusica just stood and watched as Levy cried, knowing this wasn't the time to allow her hatred for humans to kick in and let them leave. As Levy cried, the bunker began to shake and the dust could be seen flying in the air. The cocaine lock up was blown to bits.

"It's all over now." Gajeel soothes as he wiped a tear off of Levy's eye, now let's find the piece of shit who started this."
