Levy smiled at Gajeel. He leaned down and kissed her. "I love you, Levy." he whispered in her ear.
"I-I love you too." Levy spoke quietly. She kissed his cheek then hugged him. Gajeel held her close as he returned the embrace.
"Are you ready?" Levy heard a new voice speak and Gajeel was gone. She felt a sharp pain in her shoulder and she opened her eyes slowly. She blinked a few times and saw a man staring at her. "Are you ready for this, Levy McGarden?"
Levy coughed and glared at him, he was about as tall as Gajeel. He had short blond hair. He wore an eye patch over his right eye. The shirt he was wearing was white, but it was stained with blood. His black jeans showed no sign of attack on him or anyone else, but they were black so it was reasonable.
Levy chuckled a little, "He'll save me." she whispered. She had hardly remembered the night before, but that was because they had drugged her with something. It wasn't an actual drug, it was some type of magic this man himself possessed. She only knew he had it because she had watched him use it on Gajeel while she was carried away.
Being cocky was not a good idea for Levy, the man smirked and pulled out a knife. "Do you even know who you are talking to?" he asked coming closer to her. Levy pulled at her hands that were tied above her head, her legs tied together below her. She tried to get out, but it was pointless, the ropes were too tight.
Levy looked the man over, judging from his appearance she would say he was a thief or an assassin. "You're going to regret hurting me." she said as he came closer. She didn't care who he was, she just wanted to get away. The rope around her hands was hurting her and the fact that her arms were stretched above her head was making it so her shoulder ached.
"I am Jethro of the Midnight Assassin's guild." he reached her and gently pressed the knife to her forearm. "You and your friend, the Iron Dragon Slayer, got our thief arrested. I'm going to make you both pay for it. I watched as you two confessed your love for each other last night. I also watched as he wanted to make sure you got home safely, so he followed you after you left your guildhall." this made Levy blush slightly.
So he was following me, I knew it, she thought.
The assassin continued, "But he failed. I took you both down with my drugging magic." he smirked and pressed the blade into Levy's forearm harder. She let out a little noise. She didn't want to satisfy him by screaming, she knew that was what he wanted.
"He'll come for me, and he'll tear you to pieces." she felt her blood starting down her arm. It ran onto her shoulder and down her neck onto her shirt.
My clothes. I don't remember putting these on.
She was wearing a white shirt as well, with a black mini skirt.
"I'm going to crush all your dreams." Jethro looked Levy dead in the eyes. "And if he comes, then I can promise he'll die before your eyes."
Levy's breath was caught in her throat. Her heart was pounding, Gajeel couldn't get caught. Even if he did end up getting caught, he would save them both, right? Levy coughed and began feeling exhausted.
"I'll be back." Jethro cut her other forearm then walked away as Levy passed out.
Gajeel and Pantherlily rushed passed the Fairy Tail guildhall. Bisca and Alzack walked out with Asuka between them. They smiled and waved over at them. "Hey! Gajeel, Lily, can you two watch Asuka for us? We're going on a job and everyone else we normally ask are gone." Bisca said.
Gajeel glanced at Lily, "Go, I can get Levy back alone. When Natsu comes back, make sure he doesn't find out. I can do this alone." he said. He continued walking as Lily watched him uneasily.
"Be careful!" Pantherlily yelled as he met up with Asuka.
I will be, he thought. Unless something happened to Levy...
