P.O.V Master

I was worried sick! Laxus and Hope were heading towards the Consul for a discussion meeting to know what they are going to do with The Butcher. After my grandson called me yesterday night and told me everything about it I made some research about the theme… and just let me tell you that it was horrible! Fiore was in a state of paralyzing fear, no one had the enough guts to sleep because they were afraid of being killed in their sleep… until The Saviors, that's the name everyone gave to Hope's team (which didn't have a name before the event), appeared to save the day. They became quiet famous after capturing The Butcher however for what Yajima told me it wasn't worth it. He was there when The Saviors, more specifically Hope, explained the Consul the criminal's reasons, his way of thinking, how he ended up so messed up and what he was going to do if they wouldn't have stopped him… she… well they looked… dead as if something had died inside of them. According to what Yajima told me, it seemed that their innocence died that night when they saw The Butcher's eyes.

And here I am now, sitting on the guild's bar drinking as much alcohol as I could to prevent myself from rushing to the side of my grandson and his mate… Hope wasn't part of Fairy Tail but I considered her as one of my children too. I still remember when I first saw her and her big brother:

-There people in this world who prefer solitude but there is no one that can withstand it- I told Gajeel. I saw his eyes opening wide and I knew that my words had hit the right spot… and also a glimpse of fear to what was waiting for him in either both paths.

Suddenly sweet and livid laughter echoed in the metallic room- Gihi! You should hear to Master Makarove- a little girl landed between us. She pretty cute with her short purple hair, red eyes, black three quarters pants and her grey fur hooded t-shirt which hood had the form of a wolf head- He is right Gajeel- she smiled sadly at him- Friends are important… you should start caring for another people that are not me.

"Who is this girl?"- Tch! I don't need friends- Gajeel stood up and kneeled in front of her and smiled happily ruffling her hair- I have enough with you, my angel of Hope- I widened my eyes in surprise. I expected him to be gentle and smile like that after months or maybe a year of being part of Fairy Tail… but not to do it immediately.

-But I'm not enough for you!- she shouted angrily running to my side- Please don't be angry with Onichama!- she begged me "Onichama?! Was she Gajeel's little sister?"- He might be rough and a bit rude… well maybe a lot rude- 'Hey!' Gajeel protested causing me to chuckle- He didn't want to hurt any of your guild's members.

-Hope, that's enough- Gajeel stated with a stern and firm voice. I was very confused "What was going on?".

-No he needs to know!- she growled "Now I see the similitude between both Redfox's siblings"- Ye! He had killed, tortured and kidnapped before but that was three years ago. Now he is different, he never kills or torture and he only kidnaps when it is necessary for a mission- she began to sob and I stood there frozen.

-Hope enough- Gajeel's voice started to shake.

-It was my fault! If I wasn't so weak Master Jose wouldn't have used me to black mail Onichama to do as he said or he would kill me- she fell to her knees crying desperately-He had been in darkness ever since Metalicana left him until I came and gave him a bit of light… but I'm not enough! Please understand him he didn't have anyone to teach him what was good and what was bad… however, he did a great job when I came to his side. You can ask anyone even Juvia-onechan she will tell you that the Bloody Iron Dragon Slayer disappeared completely three years ago! So please don't be mad with him… be mad with me it was my entire fault…

-Enough!- barked Gajeel hugging tenderly Hope against his chest- You aren't the one to be blame. If anyone has the fault it's me for not leaving Phantom Lord as soon as you began to live with me- he caressed her hair and kissed her forehead- Don't worry everything it's going to be alright- he flashed an encouraging smile and returned to hug her. My heart broke at the scene… "I never imagined how much he must have suffered… Natsu had luck to end up in Fairy Tail… but Gajeel didn't… he was raised in an atmosphere where he needed to kill to survive… what kind of Master I am that I didn't see his side of the story before judging him?!" I saw the two siblings hugging each other "Jose what have you done?! Use their love like that!" I was very angry "I'll pay you a visit in jail later to teach you not to play with people's feelings like that!"-Hope what's wrong?- Gajeel asked concern.

-He forgave you and doesn't blame you anymore!- the little girl exclaimed happily while hugging her big brother by the neck.

Seeing my confused expression Gajeel chuckled- It's her magic- he told me- She is an emotion mage.

-That's an extinct magic!- I gasped shocked that a little girl like her could use magic like that.

-Gihi! You can't expect less from a Redfox- Gajeel praised to my surprise "I need to get use to his good side"- Master Makarove- his voice was dead serious- I would like to join Fairy Tail but also I would like to earn your and your guild's trust in any way possible.

I was surprised by his request but ended up giving him a proud smile "You are not what I expected Gajeel Redfox… and I'm glad"- If that's so I have an special mission for you- he crooked his pierced eyebrow suspiciously- Do you know that I have a son called Ivan?...

"I hope they are alright" I begged in my head "And that neither Gajeel or Levy find out that I lied about them going in a mission I requested them to do".

P.O.V Levy

-Gajeel calm down- I told my boyfriend sitting at a table in the centre of the guild hall with Lily, Jet, Droy, Lu-chan, Juvia, Grey, Natsu, Wendy, Grey, Carla, Happy and Erza- The worst thing that can happen to Hope, if what you told me about how strong she is, is to get pregnant.

-That's right Metal Head so calm down!- Natsu clapped Gajeel's back roughly but he didn't even flinch at the strength of the Fire Dragon Slayer.

-It's that you don't understand!- he punched the table and the guild went mute- She always tells me before she goes in a mission it could be personally or by lacrima- his fists clench in rage and concern. I could see all his body tensing and shaking- The first day we returned from Tenrou Island I went home, finding it clean and well maintained. When I entered the kitchen I found a note from my little sister telling me that she was in a mission and would be returning that night… all this years she had been waiting for me to came back… she never lost hope… she truly makes justice to the name I gave her- I shed a few tears moved by the story he was telling us, I saw around and found out that I wasn't the only one- I went to the train station that night and waited for her, when I saw her getting off the train I called out for her. As she heard my voice Hope stood frozen for a few minutes giving me the enough time to rush to her side. When I reached her I was the one that stood frozen, she had changed so much… her shoulder length hair was not knee length hair… she didn't use her wolf hood anymore but a wolf fur vest… and now she was almost my height- he sighed with a sad smile- As soon as she saw me standing there in front of her she punched me as hard as she could in my guts- Gajeel, Lily and a few members of the guild chuckled- And began shouting 'Fucking bastard do you know how worried I was! I thought that I lost you! And that I was alone once again!' while she pinched my face. The funny thing that I couldn't stop her even if I wanted she was too fast for me- now the entire guild, including me, broke into laughter "Who would have thought that the Scary Iron Dragon Slayer could have lost against his little sister?"- When she finally had enough of using me as a punching bag I asked her 'why did she leave a note?'. Do you know what was her answer?- he asked me and I shook my head in a negative answer- 'I didn't want my Onichama to get worried or angry at me'- he smiled at the memory.

-Oh Gajeel!- I hugged him hard.

-That's why I know that something is wrong… something important and dangerous happened that made her leave immediately without telling me… cause she knew that I would stop her- he finished with a big and tired sigh.

The entire guild was silent by his story and concerned for him- Old man tell us the truth! – Natsu yelled his fists in flames.

-He is right Master- Erze concurred- Don't you see how worried Gajeel is!

One by one each member of the guild stood up for my boyfriend- You are not alone anymore- I whispered to him in his ear. He looked at me shocked by what I said and by all the guild defending him but ended up breaking into a big smile.

-I guess I'm not- he murmured but I was able to hear him.

-Ok brats I'll tell you the truth!- shouted defeated Master Makarove- Laxus and Hope are…
