Chapter 2
His head hurt like hell as well as his right abdomen. He didn't know where he was, he had woken up in a dark room. His hands was tied together by a thick chain which was then tied to a metal ring attached to one of the walls, he tried to pull but the chain only got tighter. He had tried to chew it of but discovered that it was covered in runes making it impossible to chew.
"Fuck what is happening?" He felt something tight around his throat. He lifted his hands to feel what it was. "A metal collar? Who da fuck do they think I am? A fucking dog or something?"
He started to pull to nu use feeling a tense pain from the still fresh wound. He could feel a lock on the backside and quickly gave up, scanning the room for a way out.
It looked like a small cellar room, no more like a dungeon. He could see a small wooden table not far from him and a disgusting looking closet. The walls where bare except for four pair of handcuffs and a pair of long black chains. On the long side of the room a big wooden door was shown, covered in runes. He could also see a small window with bars and runes covering it, to prevent him from escaping. He crawled up to the small window touching the runes to get a shock back "Gah! Fucking runes everywhere!" If he actually had listened to what Levy had tried to teach him about runes he would have a chance of getting out of here. He looked out to what seemed like a big rock covered valley. This place was unknown for him and it didn't make the situation better that it seemed to be in the middle of nowhere.
He could feel a chill as he heard the door unlock and quickly turned around to see Taizo standing in the door way.
"Hello young one, seems like you have slept well."
Gajeel started growling pulling the chain making it burn into his wrists, but he would not show any sights of pain to that loser.
"Let me go so I can punch that stupid grin of your face!" Gajeel roared looking like a beast in a cage.
"Oh seems like someone woke up on the wrong side today? Well I would not try that, that collar you have is a anti magic collar, as long as it around your neck it will drain your magic.
"I don't need magic to punch your teeth out!" But he knew with the gaping wound and the headache still making his vision blurry he had no chance.
"What are you after?" Gajeel asked still trying to pull free.
"Isn't it obvious? You little dragon"
Gajeel thought he heard wrong just staring at the man.
"You are mine now! My little pet dragon" The man liked his lips making Gajeel more uncomfortable than he already was. Who was this man?
"Like hell I'm going to stay here you piece of chit!" Gajeel spat out, he feel the rage flaming as he stared at the man between him and freedom. Taizo's look darkened and he started walking toward him with big steps.
"This is my chance." When Taizo was in reach Gajeel made an effort throwing himself at the man, but faster than Gajeel could react Taizo activated the collar making it send out a powerful electric chock. Gajeel screamed in pain as he fell to the floor smoking and panting from the intense chock. Taizo pulled Gajeel's shirt of and pulled out a big black whip, striking him one time, two times, tree times. He gasped in pain but did not scream, he would not get the satisfaction hearing him scream.
"I do not appreciate you calling me that little dragon!" pulling Gajeel up by the hair grabbing his face.
"Remember this, disobey me and you will pay. This was only a warning understand?" Throwing Gajeel to the floor. Gajeel raised his head bleeding from his hairline still on all four, giving Taizo a glare actually making Taizo take some steps back.
"Get used to you new home!" Taizo spat before walking out making the runes once again rice covering the door.
"So the rumors really were true," thinking back at the glare Gajeel had given him actually making a chill climb up his spine. That was not the eyes of a human but a wild beast ready to draw blood.
"Heh, but soon enough he will have the eyes of a broken man, a little puppy. It will take some work but I'll get there. I got all the time in the world
After Taizo's had left Gajeel collapsed on the floor. The pain where unimaginable painful and he clenched his teeth as he tried to stand up but instead he fell on his back screaming out in pain.
"I hope he didn't hear that" He thought quickly sitting up. "I'm so tired" He moved to the table and lay down on it, His back hurt and his side hurt not giving him many options to lay, so he flipped over to his stomach and lay like that until sleep claimed him thinking back to the guild.
It was laud and chaotic at the guild as usual. Erza had just broken up a guild brawl scolding Natsu and Gray as it was those who had started it. Makarov sat in the bar sulking the broken furnishers with Mira trying to comfort him.
In the back corner of the guild a blue hair bookworm was sitting nose down in a big thick book. It seemed like she hadn't even noticed the big fight. All week she had sat there waiting for Gajeel and Lily to get back from the mission, she wanted to go with them but Gajeel had refused saying it was too dangerous, she got so annoyed when he rejected her like that.
"Master!" was heard true the guild hall and she could see Lily flying fast in the direction of Makarov. But she didn't see Gajeel, had something happened? Makarov looked serious as he took Lily back into his office.
"What was that all about?" She could hear Natsu mumble as all of them looked at the closed office door. Levy decided to go and talk to Lucy.
"What had happened?" She asked Lucy
I don't know but it seemed pretty serious, I have never seen Lily act like that."
Levy could feel the worry rice thru her stomach and it seemed to show since Lucy started
"I'm sure it's nothing Levy, I would guess Gajeel has broken some important building or something and don't dare to face master.
"Yea you are properly right Lu-chan." But the worry didn't go away.
Sometime had passed before Lily and Makarov exited the room, Makarov stood up top of the bar with Lily next to him making it clear he was about to speak.
"I have an announcement to make, after a mission Gajeel is now missing. I need all members to keep an eye out for clues where he could be or what have happened. He was last seen in the forest of Kilty."
"Missing!? How can he be missing?" Levy thought feeling more worried than ever. She could see Lily fly over lading on her table soon being attack with questions from Natsu.
"What did the old man mean by missing?" Natsu asked. Lily explained the situation and how he had found the wristbands and then flown directly to the town asking the villagers of they had seen anything. They explained that they had no idea where Gajeel or the other victims could be, they had search the whole town and some even the forest and nothing was ever found, expect the two dead victims.
"Well then we just need to start looking!" Natsu yield jumping up onto the table getting an agreement from the others.
"But what if he.." Levy started sobbing but was soon interrupted by Natsu.
"No worries Levy, That scrap metal bastard would never go down so easily" giving her a wink.
"He will turn up before you u know it" Lucy's calming voice made her felt a little better. She knew that Gajeel was strong and stubborn but she couldn't shake of the bad feeling she had.
