Levy's P.O.V
I sighed. I just finished packing and now I had a decision to make. Was I going to sleep tonight? It was a struggle to keep my eyes open, let alone stay up all night. I didn't want it to come to this. I walked over to the kitchen, my feet feeling the cold on the floor tiles as I reached above the fridge and started to groan when I couldn't reach it. I grabbed a chair from the dining set and hopped on it opening the cupboard. I grabbed a plastic basket and rooted around before finding a red vile filled with red and white pills. I popped off the child proof cap and pulled out a red and white pill. I gulped thinking of all the harm it would cause my body but as long as I don't sleep, it doesn't matter. I started to pull the pill to my mouth. I hesitantly swallowed it down with a glass of water. I sighed again. I wasn't going to be sleeping any time soon. I put the cap on the vile and threw it in my suitcase. I know what I'm doing is bad for my body but I can't take the dreams any more. I walked over to my desk and started to read my Rome and Juliet book. Tonight's gonna be a long night.
Gajeel's P.O.V
The sound of my alarm clock cut into my ears and I shot my eyes open. I groaned loudly. I slammed my fist onto the alarm and apparently startled Lily who was at the end of my bed.
"Can you try to be a little quieter in the morning?" He said with a glare in his eyes.
"Whatever." I grumbled.
I looked over at the clock and saw it read four forty-five. I walked into the kitchen and saw Lily making eggs. I left the kitchen and grabbed some clothes and threw them in a backpack along with a pillow and a tent. I walked back into the kitchen and saw Lily putting the food on the table and sitting down. I sat down with him and picked up the sterling steel fork.
"You better not eat it." Lily's voice rang. I sighed and nodded. I jabbed the eggs and dragged the egg full of yolk onto a piece of toast and took a bite and could immediately taste the pepper and green onion and smirked. My cat was way better than Annoying and Short-stuff's cats. I finished eating and put my dishes into the sink only to get a scolding from Lily to put it in the dishwasher. I rinsed of the plate and put it into the dishwasher then closing it. I grabbed my bag and turned off all of the lights before waiting for Lily. He came holding a small backpack then tucking it into my backpack. We both turned and headed out the door and following the trail out of the woods.
A small growl came from my lips as I slowly paced around the train station. It was five forty-five and the train would leave in fifteen minutes. I heard Lily sigh but he didn't say a word. I sat down on the wooden bench and stared at the bright sunny sky and cursed.
"Where the hell is she?" I growled. I turned to Lily who shrugged his shoulders. I was about to go to her house and drag her here when a quiet voice interrupted me.
"I'm so sorry I'm late!" I heard behind me. Lily and I turned around and saw Levy running towards us. She looked awful. Her eyes had not only dark brown but now mixed with purple. She was wearing a lime green skirt and had a turquoise shirt, her headband was orange complementing her hair and she was wearing brown combat boots with laces undone. Lily and I eyes her before Lily spoke.
"Were glad you could make it." Lily said with a nice smile. She nodded.
"I just woke up late, sorry!" She said with a yawn.
"Usually if you sleep late you aren't tired." I snorted.
She sighed and we started to boarded the train. We started walking to the very end of the train because Fairytail had its own booth with indestructible materials. Natsu's face shot into my head and I chuckeled. We sat down and started tiny conversations. Lily sat on her lap enjoying being petted. I snorted again and the train started moving and so did my motion sickness. She laughed at my state and I growled and the next thing I know I hear "Solid Script: Sleep" and I'm drifting off.
Levy's P.O.V
Lily looked at me with a confused look and I smiled petting his ears.
"Why not put him out of his misery?" I said with a laugh. He smiled then nodded. I pet his tail and he purred. Lily looked up slowly with a look of happiness.
"Levy why don't you get some sleep? I can tell you when we are there."
"No need Lily, i'm not tired." I nearly bit my tongue spouting nonsense. I was so tired. I knew that Lily didn't buy it. Well I don't know if there will ever be a better time.
"Please excuse me Lily." I said while lifting him off my lap. He nodded and I walked out of the booth past the passengers regular area and reached the lady's room. I locked the door and took off the cap and threw another pill in. I unlocked the door and walked to the booth again and saw Lily asleep.
I picked up Lily and snuggled him. This was gonna be a rough job. Better study the guild. I picked up a few books on dark guilds master had allowed me to use and started reading.
"Passenger's this is our last stop please make way to the exit." I slowly stretched out and was trying to get the tension of sitting for so long out of my bones. I had been sitting for hours while the boys were asleep. I started shaking Lily and whispering "Lily.", "Lily." Into his ear. Slowly his head started to perk up and his eyes fluttered open. A smile rose to his cheek's as he looked around the booth.
"Good morning Lily." I whispered softly.
"Good morning Levy." He said with smile.
I turned my head to make sure it was just the three of us.
"Lily hold your ears." He nodded obediently with a look of curiousness as he covered his ears with his paws.
I smirked and held up my hands.
"SOLID SCRIPT: SIREN!" I yelled. The word siren appeared and started flashing white and red while blaring loudly. Gajeel quickly shot up his head and covered his ears. A looked of fury on his face.
"DAMN IT SHRIMP SHUT IT OFF!" I smirked and the words faded away. Gajeel glared at me and Lily chuckled.
We all grabbed our stuff and left the train station. When we got out there was a huge city full of stores and shops. I took a deep breath of fresh air and remembered something. I told the boys I would be right back and dashed off looking for a famous ice cream shop. I found it at a corner and opened the old fashioned style doors. When I walked in he greeted me with a nice smile.
"How can I help you young lady?" He said with a chuckle. I looked at the menu before turning back to him.
"Can I get three cones? One with caramel, One with kiwi and one with vanilla and iron bits please? The caramel small and the kiwi and iron large please."
"Um... ok." He said with a weird look and started to make the cones. He made the caramel and kiwi one quickly then went to the back room and came back with screws in his hand and placed them on the vanilla ice cream and handed me the three cones.
"Thanks!" I handed him one hundred and twenty jewels plus a fifteen jewel tip.
"Enjoy!" He said while I left through the front door.
I walked back to Gajeel and Lily and handed them their cones. As soon as Lily saw it he started drooling.
"Thank You Levy!" He said then started eating. Gajeel looked at the ice cream cone, snorted, and then muttered a quick thank you before eating it in one bite. I chuckled. Same old them. I started eating my ice cream and we walked towards the mayors house. We got lost on the way but a nice elderly man pointed us in the direction we were standing in front of a secretary desk.
"So you're from Fairytail I assume?" A woman with dark brown hair with hazelnut highlights spoke loudly.
"Yes, I'm Levy Mcgarden that's Pantherlily and Gajeel Redfox." She nodded before picking up a phone and started exchanging words with whoever was on the other end. She hung up and turned her head to face us.
"Go to the left and straight forward and its the door with the gold door knob." I nodded and started heading towards that direction. We made it there and slowly opened the door and stepping in to a round office with book shelves covering the walls with a desk in the middle. Oak I assume.
"I'm charmed to meet all of you. I'm mayor Detro." He smiled.
"Thank you, I'm Levy Mcgarden that's Pantherlily and Gajeel Redfox. So about that job?" I said pointing to each of the mages.
"Oh yes of course. The dark guild is in Sereal Woods. As you probably know it is a huge forest, so I made you a map." He handed us a light brown sheet and electronically it lit up and there were marks and labels everywhere. I felt Gajeel and Lily staring over my shoulder. In the middle of the woods on the map there was a big "X".
"The X is the dark guild known as Death Scythe. It's very powerful so please be very cautious, and Gajeel? Make sure to protect her." He said aiming his attention to me. A part of me was annoyed because he thought I was weak but another part of me was flattered.
"Don't worry I won't let her out of my sight, and same with Lily." He looked terribly un amused.
Lily nodded and a blush appeared on my cheeks as we left the mayors home. We started toward the woods. I was having a dicussion with Lily over types of magical objects while Gajeel looked annoyed at us talking but didn't say anything.
I kept walking until I felt dizzy and tired but I didn't want to take a pill. Not with Lily and Gajeel around. We've been walking in the forest for about an hour but we weren't halfway to the dark guild, my feet were killing me and it was dark. Why is this forest so damn big?! My mind started bickering with me but suddenly I felt light headed. I started falling over but Gajeel caught me.
"Jeez if your that tired let's set up camp here." I nodded.
Gajeel's P.O.V
Shrimp looked exhausted, and she nearly fell over. Finally I can make sure she gets some rest. I just finished hammering in the last peg that help up the tent. We now had a fire going and two tents set up.
"Gajeel?"
I turned around and shorty was behind me.
"Whadaya want shrimp?" I said pretending to sound annoyed. I didn't like showing emotion. Even around her.
"Ill be right back." and with that she walked off into the forest and out of sight. When she came back fifteen minutes she didn't look tired at all. In fact she looked... Well rested? I sighed better get some shut eye and with that I fell asleep.
