Chapter 19: Waiting
Levy looked distractedly out the window. Her history teacher's drone served as nothing but white noise. It had been several weeks since that fateful weekend and that was all Levy McGarden could think about. When would they get into contact with her? Are they close to getting their hands onto the book? She laid her head down on the table, examining the gloves she had to decided to wear that day. That one weekend held more adventure than her entire life, and now she was just left stranded here waiting. If it weren't for the blue scars that riddled her arm she would have thought she made the whole thing up.
She sighed as she looked up to history teacher. The subject he spoke of Levy already knew like the back of her hand. Too much reading over the summer had led an already dull situation to be downright painful. Where was Gajeel? What was he doing right now? Was he thinking of her? She blushed at the possibility.
Gajeel looked up to the stars, thinking about a little bluenette. He was wrapped up in his sleeping bag, and after much consideration he was positive that he could make enough room for the both of them. After the weeks he's had without her, all he wanted was to wrap his arms around her. No real progress had been made on retrieving the book, and his disease had gotten worse. He was now incapable of joining the crew on missions, not even the mission to retrieve the book that would save him.
His sickness had taken a massive toll on his body. Would Levy be willing to like him in this state? His canines had sharpened to a fine point. Patches of his skin had painfully transformed into silver scales. His head was suffering from a searing headache, and he could feel that horns were forming. The spikes would eventually appear, they would pierce through the skin of his forehead. He dreaded the thought. He was quickly running out of time. He would succumb to his disease, he would turn into a monster. Who knew how much time he had left before that became a reality? All he could do was wait.
This is sooo short but I was in the writing moooood!
