Chapter 4
One by One
~Levy's POV~
No, Oh NO! He wasn't meant to find it! It's not meant to happen this soon! what am I gonna do!? If it's started this quick, then I don't have much time left! And the darkness is still after him! I have to stay, and protect him for as long as I can!
"Shrimp?"
"Huh?" My mind stopped at the sound of his deep voice. "Yes, Gajeel?" I asked, finally out of my ranting state.
"You're starin' at me. Do I got something on my face, or somethin'?" He asked, crossing his arms. It was then I realized, my feather wasn't in his hand, by rather in his messy, black hair.
My face heated. "Wh-What are you doing, Gajeel!" I fumed.
"Waiting for you to stop staring at me. You look like a strawberry. Can angels get sick? Why are you so red?" His comment only made me blush harder, out of embarrassment.
"T-That's n-not w-what I m-mean, Gajeel." I said, stuttering on almost every word. I could hear him chuckle.
"I mean, why do you have my feather in your hair?" I asked, calming myself down.
This time it was his turn to blush. A light pink spread over his cheeks, as he looked away from me. "N-No reason." I giggled at his stubbornness.
"Will you two stop goofing off!" A voice said. I turned away from Gajeel, and noticed the cat. Was. Looking. At. Me.
HE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO SEE ME!
"Kyaaa!" I screamed, and jumped into the air.
"L-Lily? You can see her?" Gajeel asked. Lily looked at me.
Lily was the name Gajeel picked for him?
Lily sighed. "Yeah. But it's quite odd. I could only see her after you adopted me."
And then it hit me. "Silly me. I'm not used to animals being able to talk. For a second, I thought you were human." I dropped to the ground. Another feather fell, but I covered it with my dress, so no one could see.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Gajeel asked.
"Well, animals have souls too. Unfortunately, they don't have guardian angels, like humans do. I supposed, Lily can see me, because he is your cat. That would prove it. Along with all of your belongings. They are the only things I can physically touch, because they are yours." I stated.
"Ah, I see." Lily said, holding a paw up to his chin.
"Alright, let's get goin'. I don't wanna spend all night on the streets." Gajeel said, and started walking towards his apartment. Lily and I followed.
And another feather fell.
As soon as we got to his apartment, Gajeel sauntered to his bedroom, and I could hear him fall onto his bed.
I'm glad he's not worrying about me too much, but we can't sit around forever. It saddens me to think how I can't stay here with him. At some point I have to fly back to Heaven. If I can. So far I have counted ten feathers that have fallen. I have hundreds, but if I lose ten feathers every day, that means, I have only a month or so. And that's not enough time.
I can feel it. The dark energy that surrounds him. Gajeel is trying so hard to get out of it, but it never leaves. For some reason, I don't know why. That's why I'm staying. I already explained to him, how staying here is going to put my life at risk as well but...
I'm not even alive.
Does that mean I lied?
A diamond tear fell onto the wood flooring. My tear.
I want to stay and help! I want to protect him! He's suffered enough! I have seen his pain. Every time I look down at him from Heaven, he looks so pained. He suffers every day. I came to change that. Even if that means, I risk my own well-being.
I already wasted my life. I'm not going to let him waste his.
OOOOOOOOOOOO! Will we get to see what Levy did in her previous life?
Sorry this chapter is short, I'm kinda going step-by-step with the whole plot thingy.
But because it's a little short, here's a preview of the next chapter!
Chapter 5
Doppelganger
I awoke to the sound of a voice. "Gajeel!" Echoed through the apartment. I wasn't calling him, and Lily was still asleep next to me. Who was it?
"Gajeel-san, where are you?" A woman's voice. He didn't have a girlfriend, though. At least, that was his status the last time I checked. So who was she?
Do you know? I know. I want you guys to guess! Please review, follow, and favorite. Also check out my other stories!
