Chapter 4

Levy's POV

I opened my eyes only to squint at the sudden bright light coming from the room around me. When my eyes adjusted I realised I was in the Infirmary- great. I looked to my right and saw the chairs were empty, 'Gajeel probably didn't stay' I thought sadly. I looked at my wrist and waved my hand over it so that it was glowing. 'To think this was the cause of all my troubles' I amused myself. It was a beautiful gold glow and I could somehow sense that I was safe with this on my wrist. I waved my hand over it again and it went invisible so that no one else could see it.

I slowly stood up from the white bed and felt my legs shake from not walking recently. I looked at the time on the wall above the door- 1.00pm. I opened the door cautiously and started going to the bar only to stop and see a red haired man with bright gold eyes blocking my path.

"Um, excuse me." I attempted to pass him once again but he moved in my way again.

"I believe me and you need to have a little chat." He smiled looking at me and then leading me to one of the guild's tables.

I was curious to know who he was. I swear he was familiar somehow- maybe I saw him on a job or something.

"My name is Elliot and I'm just like you" He explained revealing a blue rune on his wrist.

"Um- I'm Levy. Can you tell me what this actually means" I asked pointing to my wrist slowly.

"Well, that's an angel rune that protects you from being seen by people who hunt our kind down- I have one that hides me too." He replied

"What do you mean by 'our kind'? I'm just a normal Solid Script mage." I stated

"Honey- you and me are Angel Slayers. We are have the most powerful magic known to mankind." He said in a dead tone

"Expand…"

"Well an Angel Slayer is born from either an Angel Slayer parent or rarely an Angel itself. The Angels live in an area where no one knows- it's an alternate universe like the Celestial world. I was born from an Angel Slayer couple on Earth- my father and mother has taught me everything about my Slaying magic. Sadly, there are always mages who abuse dark magic to kill the light of our kind- they are called the 'The Soul Stealers' but I call them 'the Bloods' because all they do is kill. These people aim to kill off all Angel Slayers and steal their magic or souls to rule over the universe. They killed my parents when I was 14- I'm 19 now so it was a long time ago, but I have been in the 'Sabor Tooth' guild working as a bar tender for a month or so. I have tried to keep moving around the country to find other people like me but I have been unsuccessful until I was contacted by Makarov and met you." I was shocked. But so happy. I felt warm tears fall from my eyes as I smiled happily. I stood up and hugged the man as if he were my best friend- he went stiff but then he hugged back.

"I'm really happy I have someone who understands me." I laughed as I sat back down.

He grinned, "Me too. Me and you are gonna train tomorrow and be official partners" He stated as he held out his hand for me to shake.

I hesitated thinking about 'Team Shadow Gear' but Jet and Droy were always fighting for me so I didn't have any involvement in missions unless it was deciphering runes or translating scripts. Luckily they were on a mission and only come back in two weeks.

I grinned also and shook his hand- both our runes released magic particles which bonded with each other as a sign of a partnership and making a two blue dots appear under our runes to show our union as 'Angel Slayers'. I let go of his hand and admired the dots.

"Anyone can see these dots. But they just show that we are a team." He explained.

"Well I shall meet you here at the guild tomorrow at 10 and we will go train." I arranged happily.

"Okay- see you then" He replied. I got up and left to go find Gajeel. I walked to the park benches and saw him sitting and looking at the tree he hung me from.

"Hey" I said placing myself next to him. He looked at me with a serious face of sadness and guilt.

"Hey- you're up." He said in a raspy voice.

"Yeah- you weren't there so I looked for you" I replied quietly

"Sorry, I was asked to leave by Demon woman so I couldn't stay. And the guild was boring so I thought I would get some fresh air"

"Do you still beat yourself up about the past?" I asked indicating that I was talking about the tree."

"Who wouldn't after what I did to you" He grimaced

I leaned into him and he wrapped his arms around me. I sighed sadly.

"Gajeel, you were following orders and it was a long time ago. Don't forget that I forgave you for it meaning you should forgive yourself." I stated

"I know but it's hard" He replied

"So Black Steel Gajeel is going to live in the past for the rest of his life? That's not the Gajeel I fell in love with." I was ready to stand and walk away but he held me in place.

"Your right- I won't forget it but I won't let it ruin the relationship I share with the woman I plan to spend the rest of my life with" He answered kissing my head gently.

I felt the blood rush to my cheeks when he said the last part.
