Chapter 2 - The Thief
Jake
The next morning...
"Wake up Jake. You need to hear this." Douglas, his friend Exceed who wears a usual puppy costume, shook his arm to wake him up.
The light blue haired man muttered an incoherent statement as he rubbed his eyes open. He vision saw clearly that he was not in his room, his old prison room. This was his new room, a more pleasant one. He also realized that he was in his new apartment that he bought last week.
'It's good to be free...' Although he thought it was good, there was still worry in his heart. A worry for his brother. 'Why did he do that to me...?'
"Are you listening?" Jake shook his head and he chuckled when Douglas pouted at him. "This is important Jake! Henry wants to kill you!"
"What are you saying Douglas? Henry treats me and my brother like his sons."
'He had a point...' The orange cat frowned. Jake and Kael was treated by Henry like his sons when he arrived in Stratholme town. Kael was too young to be a Mayor so Henry taught him many things in the political aspects. On Jake, Henry learned the young man has a special case and treats him well.
'But why did he posted on the guild mission boards about Jake taking his valuable stone?'
"Anyway, I'm gonna go eat outside and buy some meat for lunch. Wanna come?" Jake offered a smile.
"Yeah... That's a good idea." Though Douglas was still worried about his companion. He's feeling something bad is gonna happen.
IiiiiiiiiI
Jake knew it. He knew he was being followed by someone or a group of people. He can feel it. His dragon instincts were telling him that he's not safe here.
"Douglas, I think we should go..." He grumbled after finishing their meal and grabbed the bag of meat from his side.
Douglas knew it too. There were eyes staring at them, studying every movements they do. So he obeyed and they left the restaurant after paying for their bills.
The light blue haired man walked carefully on the streets, his senses were fully alert. If someone was after him, he would definitely won't hold back and destroy them. It was part of his 'special case' after all.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed him from a dark alley he was about to pass through. Jake was about to attack when he familiarized the person who grabbed him.
"G-God! Don't scare me like that, Lizzy!" He shouted at his pink haired friend from the guild called Leaf Blade.
The young lady shushed him as they watch some familiar men pass through the alley. They hid behind the dumpster and lucky for them, they weren't caught.
"That's Ben and Gumbo. What do they want from Jake?" Douglas whispered.
Lizzy raised a mission poster on their faces. The light blue haired man's eyes widened.
"So Henry really want to..." Jake couldn't even say it. Why does his father-like old friend want to kill him? He haven't done anything wrong to him.
"I don't know. But Jake, you're not safe here. Even strong mages from Fairy Tail were looking for you."
Jake felt tears forming in his eyes but he refused to let them pour out. He was done with crying. He hated crying because all he had done from his life was crying. That was literal because of his 'special case'. He had been crying every single day of his life because of that.
"I suggest you leave the town. The Mayor also announced this morning that you stole a valuable stone," Lizzy almost cried for her friend as she said the worst of all the happenings. "Y-You already have a bounty on your head."
Hia chest tightened as his heart started to hurt. His brother... also wanted to kill him. Why? Why does everyone hate him? Is that why he escaped from his prison cell deep down in their house where his brother locked him away from the world? Because everyome in the world hated him?
"Jake!" Lizzy caught her friend on her arms as he passed out from the sudden revelation. Even she didn't know what was wrong with the Mayor and his brother, she still cared for her friend. "Douglas, let's take him home. You two need to get out of town."
"Where will we-" Before the Exceed could finish his sentence, he saw a lightning bolt that was about to hit them. "LOOK OUT!"
BOOM!
It was a loud explosion that made people near the alley ran away as fast as they could.
Lizzy made a protective barrier that absorbed the sudden attack and they weren't hurt. But they were still not safe. At the end of the alley stood a large muscular blond with a lightning shaped scar on his left eye. His rage was obvious because of the lightning that seemed to surround his body. He looked like an out-of-control killing machine.
"You almost killed Freed!" He threw another zap but it was absorbed by the barrier. "You!" Zap! "Hurt!" Zap! "My TEAM MATE!"
In his fourth attack, the barrier waa destroyed and Lizzy and his friends stumbled across the dumpster. She couldn't do anything since she's a protection mage. All she can do was build barriers that no attack can penetrate.
But this man. This man can destroy her barrier. If she doesn't do anything, he would kill his friend.
"P-Please stop! He didn't do anything!"
The blond didn't listen and prepared another attack. An attack that seemed to be familiar to Lizzy.
'H-He's...'
"Roar of..."
'... A dragonslayer.'
"... Lightning Dragon!"
A blinding beam of electricity shot out from his mouth and it was about to hit the three helpless creatures. Lizzy thought they were going to die...
But there was a hand. Yes, a hand. A hand that stopped the attack like a miracle. It was... Jake's hand!
The light blue haired man stood up like he had awoken from a dreamless sleep and muttered something that made Douglas eyes widened.
'Y-You don't have to do that!' It was only a thought. But he failed to shout it at his friend as a rainbow colored magic circle appeared beneath them.
"... Magic Sealer Technique. Unleash!"
"NO!" That blond guy didn't know the truth. He doesn't need to get that special attack from Jake.
Or is it Jake? His voice sounded different now. It was filled with hatred and darkness.
After the blond fell on his knees, Jake walked slowly at him while saying, "You have no rights to hurt my friends..."
OoooooooooO
Wooh! 2nd chapter is done! Jake seemed to be evil at the end of this chapter. And Laxus, I'm very sorry for you... T.T
That magic was something really powerful. I'll explain what it is in the next chapter. Expect some blood and violence in the future chapters (That's why I rated this as M).
See ya!
