Hiya all thanks for the reviews and encouragement. I don't own Fairy Tail, its property of Hiro Mashima-sensei!
Enjoy
Pride, lust and guilt no longer had any occupancy in Gajeel's tormented mind. He still hadn't come to the conclusion that his heart authentically beats just for Lucy Heartfilia, and not for his soon-to-be-bride Levy McGarden, his mouth synched effortlessly with the strawberry flavored lips before him. His long tongue found its way in her moist succulent mouth like it had always belonged there. Her blonde hair deterred the darkness of his mane and intrepid whispering shadows; unconsciously Gajeel was reclaiming his stolen property. The insolence of that whelp and the naivete of the blonde have completely obliterated his comfortable present.
"Because of you, because of him and mostly because of this." Gajeel whispered tenderly into Lucy's ear as he caressed affectionately her growing stomach.
Silence took over as the mighty Black Steel laid quietly weeping ontop of the mother of the child he always wanted.
"Gajeel... what's wrong?" Lucy asked quietly as she forgot the fearful moment as she patted him on the head.
Teary ruby eyes shone in the darkness of Gajeel's living room, melting Lucy's fragile heart. Everything could have been so much better if she only talked earlier... they could have been together... Lucy thought as she stared at the white ceiling as the man continued to quietly weep.
"Bunny girl, your making me into a terrible man. I'm breaking my promises to Levy, destroying my pride every time I don't run away with you and our child. Do you know how difficult it's been avoiding jail every time I see that cheeky whelp." The dark haired man whispered quietly to his receptive audience who could only sadly nod in acknowledgment.
Sitting up, Gajeel lowered his head in apology as he got up from the shocked woman and took a new seat on his rocking chair. This was wrong, both thought to themselves as they sat quietly in frustration, they both felt the chemistry, the lust and the familiar, yet forbidden, taste of their affair. Sighing, Lucy button up her open shirt and brushed her shirt back into place.
"Look Gajeel, I didn't come to take you away from anyone, you wanted the truth and I needed to get rid of this guilt. I'm with Rogue, you're with Levy. The child has a father-"
"-you bet the child has a father and that's me! Bunny girl stop ticking me off!" Gajeel roared obviously upset at the thought of his things being own by another.
Was he truly upset? Did she confuse him for another? No, all Lucy had been doing this time was covering up their mistakes and instead of feeling relieved by her resolutions, the man just seemed to get upset. He tried to take advantage of her, but he couldn't even touch her that way unless he was under the influence and mistaking her for another. The one who was growing upset and hiding it like a pro was the ex-aristocrat and not the use-to-be renegade.
"Look you had your fun with me, and now its time for you to wear your big boy pants and marry my friend." Lucy got up from the couch and headed for the door.
Turning the door handle quickly, she noticed that it stopped halfway. It was locked as she heard a sinister chuckle she hasn't heard in years. Stealing a quick glance, she noticed as her friend was being consumed in shadows.
"I never said that I was giving up Levy, for you. I just want what is mine. When in hell the only thing you can do is burn, so let's ignite the whole world around us." Gajeel said morbidly as he succumbed to the shadows who projected their dark desires to the young blonde.
Shaking her head in fear, Lucy fiddled with the doorknob and tried to kick it down, but it was no use, the door was locked from the outside and she was trapped with whatever monster took over her friend. 'I gotta get out of here, he's delusional and I can't stay around him.' Lucy thought to herself desperately as she tried to summon her celestial spirits.
"Hahaha Blondie, there aren't any keys in existence that can free you from us." Gajeel spoke maliciously as he pinned her against the door.
Nervously, Lucy expended all her magic trying to open each and everyone of her gates, and no matter how brightly her keys shone, they wouldn't produce even Plue, the weakest of her spirits. Her whip lost all of it's Celestial power. 'What's going on? Loke! Virgo anyone, help!' The blonde screamed into her celestial keys, hopping one of them would use their own powers to barge in and rescue her.
"Aww don't you like us anymore, little blonde bunny? Can't get out? Wanna know why? This room is immersed in Rogue's and Gajeel's shadows, they nullify your celestial powers." Gajeel's voice said distantly as he licked her marked neck defiantly, assuring cataclysmic chaos.
A mind numbing roar shot through the wilderness on the outskirts of Magnolia. Heart thumping violently, Sting rushed to the source, but when he got to the cell, Rogue was gone.
"Damn." Sting cursed as he took out his communication lacrima to warn Makarov and Fairy Tail.
Metal claws stripped the young blonde of her clothes, lustful scarlet eyes wanted to mar her skin in marks and cover her in red velvet blood. Scraping her long arms with his fangs, Gajeel relished in her strawberry flavored blood, and each lick enticed for another light laceration, his heart was thumping so hard, but once her tears and sobbing caught his ears, Gajeel came back to his senses. Clutching his head in frustration, the iron dragon slayer fought with his inner dragon, darkness and pride. Lucy was driving him to lunacy, he wanted to eat her alive, mark her right there and then, but once again he broke his promise to her. The sweat, the blood, her tears and lust clouded his nose and then he stared at his naked shattered friend.
"Rogue..." Lucy cried huddled up against the door.
"What did you say?" Gajeel hissed at Lucy who flinched in terror.
Whispering over and over she cried for Rogue to save her, only confusing an already angry Gajeel.
As Lucy's desperation rose, her mark signaled for her mate to come rescue her. The man was filled with so much anger and blood lust that he overcame his magical weakness and broke free from Sting's imprisonment; whatever was happening to Lucy, it was driving him mad. His mark ached so much, it felt like molten magma burning off the flesh off his neck, he had to find Gajeel and kill him.
Quickly Rogue ran like a mad man through the streets of Magnolia feeling Lucy's dwindling magic, while inadvertently grabbing Evergreen's attention, disrupting her spell on Levy who took advantage of the situation and vanished.
"Damn it all to Tartoros!" Ever cursed as she ran towards the hell hole that Gajeel's house was soon to become.
Slithering in the shadowy streets of Magnolia, Rogue understood two things, his mate was with HIM and he was making her suffer. His growling whilst in the shadows sounded like a howling of a storm to the citizens of Magnolia who witness a malevolence consuming the northern corner of the usually lively city.
Bitting the inside of her cheek, Levy ran towards Gajeel's house with a sense of doom and one thing bothered her greatly: somehow her once best friend, Lucy was involved. Taking a shortcut, behind Lucy's apartment, Levy cautiously approached the fear-engulfing house.
"NO!" Levy could hear Lucy cry out in pain as a body banged against the front door of Gajeel's rune barricaded home. Thrashing, whimpering and loud roars where heard as Levy trembled at the chorus of violent noises. What was going on? Her mind became numb fearing the worse of her fiancee. Why was Lucy here?
The evidence before her, did not result in her questions being answered. From the noises and screams, it sounded like he was raping her, she didn't sound that terrorized and that made her whole world spin out of whack. A few moments later, she saw everything happen in slow motion, Rogue materialized from the nearby shadows, Evergreen seemed to hug her from the front so she couldn't see and her own hands seemed to understand the situation more than her processing mind as they tried to cover her ears and deafen the horrendous noises echoing from the familiar house.
Minutes later she saw Freed, Laxus and Master. 'What's going on?' Her mind continued to ask, but the situation that played in front of her could not provided logical answers.
"Gajeel get your rapist self out of here and face me like a man." Rogue yelled as he was propelled from the front door for what seemed to be the millionth time, but then he realized that Fairy Tail was there...
Freed dropped his rapier in shock at the news; Laxus let out a string of curses and Evergreen just shed tears as Levy shook violently in her arms, before she fainted.
Thanking their deceased master, Mavis, Evergreen placed Levy on the floor as Freed finished writing a rune that had expel Lucy from Gajeel's house.
Emerging from a bright light, the destroyed blonde seemed to have lost a lot of blood, her perfect skin was scrapped with fangs and claw marks, her eyes were red and puffy, and as she limped her face was drenched in excruciating pain. Everyone stared in horror at her brokenness, as she seemed to blindly walk pass them and into Rogue's arms. Growling furiously, he covered his mate in his cloak and demanded Gajeel's head for recompense.
"I'm sorry Rogue, but we simply can't allow that." Makarov said extremely upset at his child's brokenness. Makarov showed a calm front, but on the inside he wanted to kill Gajeel, drag his soul across Tartoros, bring him back to life and repeat several times until he was satisfied. 'You promised me... you promised her, but you still ended up hurting her.' The Fairy Tail master thought as he saw Lucy cry into Evergreen's motherly chest.
By this time, Levy came too, but pretended to be asleep as she heard Lucy's Saber argue with her master.
"I want the bastard dead! He raped her once, I'm taking responsibility for that, but this second time... I want his carcass in a tomb!" The shadow dragon slayer hissed as Levy gasped quietly in acknowledgment. 'So that's what happen... the rumors were all true, Gajeel raped Lucy, she ran off...' The script mage added the new information in her head feeling horrendous at her friend's misfortune.
Makarov quietly tried to calm down the blood thirsty Rogue, as Laxus teleported with his lightning inside the house of terror.
"Gajeel... you f-ed up so bad my friend." Laxus said at his rabid friend who chanted 'where's Lucy' over and over again. Rolling his eyes, the older slayer could feel that his guild-mate was not in possession of his own mind, the invisible dark miasma that consumed the house was poisoning Gajeel beyond control.
A flash a lightning consumed a quarter of the city as the windows and clear skies seemed to reflect Laxus' mighty rays, as he shocked Gajeel into unconsciousness.
The door of the secluded house finally opened as Laxus emerged with Gajeel over his shoulder. Lucy eyes felt the guilt of the situation overwhelm her, she wanted to cry, apologize and run to his side, but now she was too traumatize to even talk. Chocolate eyes witnessed as Laxus threw Gajeel on the hard cobblestone ground next to Makarov as he dusted his hands.
"I didn't know we had this kind of trash in our guild." Hateful stormy eyes glared at the man on the floor.
Sting was the last one to arrive and when he saw how disheveled Blondie was, he too wanted to shed the bastard's blood all throughout Magnolia. Gritting his teeth, he ignored the desire to act as he closed in on Evergreen and Lucy.
"Are you okay Blondie?" Lucy nodded her head slightly as tears fell on her own. She was in pain and her voice was shed in the last series of screams.
"Stay away from her you traitor! She'd be fine if your nosy self would have stayed out of this. I was going to let them talk, I was gonna make sure that eventually when she was ready we could arrange something with the child!" Rogue said as he struggled to get out of Makarov's enlarged fist.
Hearing the logical plan his friend was going to execute with the blonde bothered Sting. The only reason he got involved was because Rogue was blinded by darkness, why did he get involved it wasn't his mate, it wasn't his child or even his close friend. Sting felt so guilty that his jealousy over his friend's happiness destroyed a slue of people.
Clutching to Rogue's cloak like a life line, Sting saw as Lucy limped painfully towards her master. Unable to vocalized her thoughts, she pointed to her beloved pink guild mark.
"No..." The old man released Rogue, and held Lucy tenderly.
