I'm so proud I got this done today! Writing fanfictions is really good for building my time management skills! I had some writer's block today, but anyways, here's the chapter!
Levy quickly shuffled back to the full length mirror to check herself one more time. Her sky blue hair was pushed back in a loose bun, held there by a salmon ribbon. Similar to the shade of her hair tie, Levy wore a rosy lace dress that ended just above her knees. A simple pair of grey flats both topped with a bow settled on her small feet. Lastly, Levy completed the look with a bracelet of silver slipped on her left hand.
Looking herself up and down, Levy finally decided she looked good.
But is this good enough for Gajeel? She questioned herself
Of course she was, she reassured herself, and with that, Levy departed from her house, unsure of what to anticipate that evening, and even more, what to anticipate from Gajeel.
Gajeel didn't know what he was expecting. Was he positive that once he groomed his wild black hair, he'd look like a wuss? Of course.
Did he think he would to be able to pull it off? Never.
But he sure as hell could.
Gajeel's dark mane was pushed back into a long ponytail down his back. Not one hair stood out of place, thanks to half an hour's worth of gels, shampoos, hairsprays and conditioners. In the reflection of his bathroom mirror, Gajeel's shark-like teeth gleamed. His tight white suit and bright red tie, he decided, was just right for this hopefully perfect date with Levy.
Levy skipped down the road which led to into town, where the restaurant she and Gajeel would soon see each other at was. This evening would make Levy's long awaited dreams to become reality, and it was the greatest feeling in the universe.
Soon after she had begun to daydream about the night and sexy man that awaited her, Levy felt watched, and not just by the passing couples that shot odd stares her way. She felt stalked.
Carefully, Levy continued to stay in the protection of the street lights, avoiding the shadows and whatever was lurking among them, at all costs. Eventually, Levy found herself faced with the only path to the restaurant being a narrow and sketchy alley. Her eyes followed the path to the end, and located a busy street full of beaming lights and cheerful voices.
I can make it, Levy told herself. It's only about six yards to the other side.
Steadily, Levy took her first step into the shadow submerged alleyway. With a shaky breath, she proceeded to take another stride. Once plunged into complete darkness, she heard footsteps. Her heart raced and in her ears, it beat louder than a timpani drum. Quickly, she backed herself up against the brick wall of the alley. Levy didn't dare move; she was too paralyzed with fear.
"Levy," a creepy voice you would only hear in a horror movie sung,
"Levy McGarden," the mystery person paused, "We know you're here. There is no point in hiding now."
Levy mentally winced.
He knows I'm here and my name?
Part of Levy wanted to come out of her hiding and turn herself in to this presumably evil man. But the more dominant side of her told herself to stay put and hope for a miracle.
"I am a very impatient man," the voice continued, now clearly agitated. "Just come out and play little Levy."
Levy was downright terrified. She was alone, petrified and hiding in a shady alley on the night she had hours before considered to be the best night of her life.
Her fairytale night had ended all too soon, the clock struck twelve and everything was ruined. All hope was lost and Levy's dreams one by one, shattered around her.
She thought about crying, admitting her failures and giving up, but she couldn't do it. She had to live through this.
For Gajeel.
Alright, I hope that keeps you on your toes for a while! Loved it? Despised it? Leave a review and tell me how I did! I'm not positive how my updating frequency will be on weekdays because of school, but I'm hoping to have two more chapters up by Friday. Anyways, thank you to everyone who favorited, followed and/or reviewed on my story! It means more than you will ever know (^3^)
