I'm glad you guys love this story, I didn't think people would like this type of story, but I was wrong. Anyway, enjoy!
Levy was sitting at the lake once again looking down at her feet which were both covered in darkness, she didn't know what was happening to her but almost 70% of her was covered. Her back was also hurting lately, there were bumps right below her shoulder blades but Thymos wasn't helping her.
"What are you doing?" yelled Thymos from a few feet away.
"None of your business." She mumbled into her lap. The demon behind her clicked his tongue but sat down beside her. "Do you think I'm weak?" she suddenly asked him after 10 minutes of silence.
The red-haired demon sighed and shook his head, "Why?"
"Well," The sapphire-haired girl paused, swinging her feet against the cold water of the lake, "I didn't really help at all with that Vulcan fight. I left my guild because I thought I was weak and I should become stronger. Now," she weakly laughed, pulling a hair behind her, now, pointed ear, "Now I can't even fight a simple Vulcan." She sighed loudly after she spoke and waited for Thymos to reply.
"Levy, I know that you aren't weak. The power that I gave you, chose you. The book picked you out of several that picked up the book. That makes you special right?" He explained.
"I guess." Levy whimpered. The two of them sat in silence until Thymos stood up and exhaled, "Don't expect this to happen again. I will never talk about feelings with you."
Levy only nodded but stared down at the water, maybe she should go back to Fairy Tail. Did they miss her? Did she care? Levy thought about just going back to Fairy Tail to visit and see what was happening with them.
"Thymos!" she yelled getting on her feet.
"What, woman!?" he yelled back without turning back to her.
"We are going on a field trip." Running passed him to her tent to change clothes. The demon just shook her head.
The next several hours were spent with the two walking through the woods and complaining the whole time, the demon just insulted Levy while they walked. Levy just laughed at him, knowing he didn't mean that stuff.
When they arrived in Magnolia, it was dark. Levy went to a hotel a few blocks away, but she was looked at weird when she stepped in. The clerk at the desk took one look at her and her eyes went wide. Levy probably looked demonic.
The small girl was covered in dark grey and black all around her body, with pointed ears. Her hair was bright against her darker skin and she wore a pair of shorts with a long shirt. Her face was 90% covered expect for one eye. "Excuse me?" Levy tried.
The clerk just stared wide eyed at her until Levy asked again, "Yeah, what do you need?"
"Um, I was wondering if I could get a room?" her voice was quiet and Thymos just chuckled behind her. Of course, the clerk couldn't see him so, Levy tried to ignore the demon, but it was kind of funny.
"Oh, um, of course. We have a room for you and how will you be paying?" The girl only stared at the computer in front of her and not Levy.
"Jewels" The small mage pulled out the amount of jewel she needed and set it on the counter.
Levy opened the door to the room and saw there was only one bed, the mage sighed but set her bag down on the floor by the door. "You can have the bed, I'll sleep on the floor." Levy slowly turned her head to him; did he just offer that to her? Was he being nice? "Don't say anything, just do it." He grumbled laying on the ground.
"Thanks" she said as she laying in the nice comfy bed. All she heard from him was a small 'shut up' but she smiled anyway.

The guild hall was loud as ever, Levy stood outside with Thymos waiting for something, she didn't know. "Are we going or what?"
She nodded and then opened the door wide. Levy looked around and saw that most of the guild was there in the morning, Lucy was at the bar with Mira and Lisanna, Natsu and Gray were fighting as usual with Happy egging them on from the air. The thunder legion was at the bar as well up further down from Lucy and them.
Levy looked around for Gajeel, unconsciously, she saw him talking to Pantherlily at a far table away from everyone else. Jet and Droy were together at the job board, possibly looking for a mission to do. There were many other fights happening around the guild with many other members, it looks like they recruited more people. No one has noticed her yet and that was a good thing because she wanted to look around more.
Thymos just walked around in front of her because no one could see him anyway, if only that was true. He was weaving through people when he saw a figure, a small girl with long blonde hair. She was on the balcony looking over the guild and she was looking straight at him. The demon looked to Levy but she was looking all around at everyone.
The blonde looked to him and then Levy and back to him, she understood but also didn't. "Um, Woman. I don't think we should stay that long." Thymos told Levy, he wasn't sure, but he didn't like it here.
"Levy!" A squeal came from the bar as Levy's brown eyes looked over at her. A small smile graced her lips, it was Lucy. The first person to notice her and run up to her but stopped when she saw the state of Levy. "What happened?" The celestial mage looked concerned about her friend.
"Oh this?" Levy looked down at herself, now she was almost all covered up in darkness, but it was turning a bit grey in some spots, "It's nothing. Just a new magic I learned." She brushed it off.
"Okay? If you say so. Where have you been?" She asked her while pulling the smaller girl to a nearby table.
The two friends had a long conversation while Thymos was staring down the blonde who moved down the stairs to stand in front of him. "You don't belong here." Mavis stated with her eyebrows frowned.
He crossed his blackened arms, "I only came here because of her." His thumb pointed to the blue-haired girl. "Don't go getting angry. I won't do anything to these 'precious' humans."
Still no one else noticed Levy was there but one other person, Gajeel was staring daggers at the young girl. Levy tried not to notice him, but it was hard when his red eyes keep glaring at her, but his eyes reminds her of Ryos and it made her blush. They walked around the guild to talk to everyone that missed Levy, Mira was thrilled to see her again and so were Jet and Droy before they went off to their mission.
Levy looked at the time and saw it was almost 5 in the afternoon. She had been talking to Lucy for a long time. "Well, Lu I should get going." She turned to get up, but she didn't see the looked of disappointment on Lucy's face.
"Oh, will you come back?" Lucy asked while standing up with her, off to the side she could see Natsu coming over to see Lucy. Levy just nodded and went to go find Thymos, who was talking to nothing it seemed.
"I just need to go and train some more." Levy loudly told Lucy that made Thymos head turn to her instead of staring at Mavis. That was their key phrase when Levy wanted to leave since, it would be weird to call out someone who wasn't there. Natsu stood by Lucy and saw it was Levy she was talking to.
"Oh, hey Levy! You look different." Completely oblivious to everything. His arm slung around Lucy's shoulder with a careless smile on his face.
"Yeah, thanks." She whispered before stepping to the door, "Bye Lucy!" she waved closing the door behind both her and Thymos, but he hasn't said anything since. "What's the matter with you?" she whispered to him.
"Is there like a ghost part of that guild?" he asked, immediately sounding crazy but Levy just laughed.
"Oh, that's just Mavis. He was the founder of Fairy Tail and she stays around to keep an eye on us-them." She explained but got mixed up on the last part. She shook her sapphire hair at the thought, she had a new family now. "Wait, she could see you?"
Thymos scoffed, "She's dead right?" the solid script mage nodded hesitantly, "I'm a demon and she's dead. Of course, she could see me."
Levy made a face, "Oh, that makes sense. I keep forgetting you're a demon." She pushed his arm and giggled he just looked at her like she was crazy.
"You do know you're part demon now too right?" he told her. Levy looked shocked, she was? That's what this stuff was? Levy had tried for hours to get that locked book open, but nothing would work and Thymos wasn't any help since he couldn't go near the thing. When she tried to ask more questions, a loud voice was heard from behind the two of them.
"Shrimp!" Levy growled, it sounded deeper than normal, which kind of scared Levy but it made Thymos smile, widely.
Levy stomped to stand, facing him but not saying anything. Gajeel was also stomping up to the smaller girl without Panterlily. Levy crossed her arms and waited for him to say something, but he didn't say anything.
"What? This was the guy you had a crush on before? Man, he's lame. I prefer shadow man any day." Thymos commented looking off to the side but he knew that he made Levy uncomfortable. The solid script mage blushed and groaned, losing her composure. Gajeel raised an eyebrow at her.
"What have you been doing to yourself?" the gruff iron slayer asked looking her up and down.
Levy turned her head away from him and closed her eyes, "I've gotten stronger." She stated simply. The dark-haired man tsk'd, almost laughing at her. She turned to glare at him, "What's so funny?" Her lip curling up in a scowl.
"Nothing, just didn't think a shrimp like you would get stronger." He was acting like that wasn't a big deal to say to her. On the other hand, Levy was livid, she was clenching her fists in her arms as they were crossed.
"That's what you want to think, then fine. What do you want?" Levy grinded her teeth, Thymos was wondering around behind her, kicking rocks and looking bored. Levy wished that he would just go away, she wished she would just disappear at this point.
Gajeel growled, "If you're so strong, then why don't you fight me?" He asked, letting his arms fall to their sides.
"What?"
"Fight me." he said again with more of a growl. He thought she was just going to get flustered and run off but what he didn't know was that she was going to agree.
"Okay." Her voice was neutral and so was her face.
"What?" She heard from both Gajeel and Thymos. The small mage just crossed her arms and raised her eyebrow at the taller mage. "Fine, lets go." The dragon slayer walked off before Levy even had a chance to react. The girl just sighed and walked off with him, this was not how she thought her day would go.

Levy stood off to the right of a giant field behind the guild hall; Gajeel was all the way off to the left, talking with Pantherlily. Levy was stretching her arms behind her back when she saw a couple of members of Fairy Tail walk out to see what was happening.
Levy and Thymos were quiet, the demon himself was sitting in the grass behind her, the sapphire-haired girl was busy thinking of strategies. Planning out what Gajeel would do and how she could counter it. Gajeel glanced her way and she narrowed her eye back at him, not turning away.
He stepped towards the middle and Levy slowly walked to him, looking at his clenched fisted, wondering if he was going to hit her now. Would he go easy on her?
"You ready for this shrimp?"
Levy only glared at him, but she didn't see the darkness spreading more over her eyebrows but Gajeel stared right at it. "Okay, I'm ready."
Gajeel cocked his right fist back, Levy acted quick, "Solid script: hole" a deep hole opened up below Gajeel as he fell through, cussing as he fell. Levy ran further away from him; anticipating him to attack her straight away.
Which he did, jumping up from the hole with his fist up, the slayers eyes were looking around for her when he spotted her off to the side. Levy jump up to the tree beside her when Gajeel hit her with an iron dragon roar, knocking all the leaves off it and knocking her down to the floor.
Levy's eyes opened when she felt an iron pole slam next to her face. Levy grabbed onto his arm/pole, trying to shake her off but Levy wouldn't let go of him. He started pulling his arm back to him, but Levy had other ideas, when she came close, Levy brought her foot up; kicking in the side of his face. Gajeel hit the floor while Levy flipped on her feet behind him.
Gajeel growled, standing up, making his arm into a saw. Her brown eyes widened, and she jump but not high enough, he cut her outer thigh with his dragon sword. She clenched her teeth but didn't scream, Levy landed and looked up when she saw another roar coming at her, "Solid script: shield" Large letters of 'shield' were held in front of her, when his iron roar hit, she was pushed back.
"Had enough shrimp?" he yelled far away, between two trees. Levy had an idea, she ran towards him and he was confused, bending down in anticipation.
"Solid script: Net." Throwing out both hands, the net was huge. It wrapped around Gajeel and both tree beside him, he snarled and bared his fangs at her when she smiled.
Gajeel smiled back at her, her smile dropped, the mage stopped struggling then he turned into solid iron. His body cut through the net quickly, Levy ran the other way. The slayer pointed his hand towards him as spears flew around her. Levy tried to dodge them but some of them nicked her and one of them stuck in her shoulder, coincidentally where her guild mark used to be.
Levy turned around to him, pointing both hands to him, her finger tips glowing black, she started shooting black balls to all the spears. Then she tried pointing towards his own hand, but he pulled back once she shot down all his spikes.
The sapphire-haired girl stomped her foot, bringing up dust, she moved her hands forward quickly. The dust turned black and sped through and hit Gajeel in the face. The Fairy Tail mage started coughing loudly and wheezing, he fell to his knees gripping at his neck. His iron form faded, his pale complexion was back, he started to breathe again. "What the fuck was that?" he rasped out, breathing heavily.
Levy didn't answer because she felt pressure on her back, like something was pulling on her. she grunted and fell to her own knees, hunching over. Thymos was standing by but he knew what was happening and it was going to be painful. Gajeel was just watching her, not knowing what to do.
The points on her back were pushing something out and Levy was now gripping the grass in front of her, she wanted to scream but nothing would come out, only spit was flying from her mouth. Then out of nowhere a pair of black, tattered wings and the sound of ripping skin. There was blood dripping from the bottom of each wing and Levy started breathing normally now.
Gajeel was about to ask her why she had those but was interrupted by Levy herself, "Fuck!" she screamed but held a smile, "Fuck yeah! I knew that's what those were! I told you!" she pointed to Thymos who also had a small smile but to Gajeel it looked like she was talking to no one.
"Who are you talking to?" Gajeel asked standing up, holding his stomach, "Whatever, we are still having a fight." Fist ready and eyes set.
Her wings were flapping around, she was still trying to get use to them when Gajeel came at her with a fist to the face, she hit the ground on her right side, but her wing actually ended up hitting Gajeel as she turned.
Her foot pounded into his face again when he fell to the ground in front of her. Gajeel then kicked her back, pushing her to her back. Both fists turned into poles as he pinned both her arms down, "Give up now?" he smirked at her.
Her eyes shot up to him with malice, she was thinking of several different ideas of what to do, trying not to show any emotions to this asshole. Then she looked back to her feet, she wrapped her blackened legs around one of his legs, catching him off guard.
He stepped back, his pole leaned up as he did so, leaving room for her to slip one arm out. That arm wrapped around the same leg, "Solid script: fire" his leg caught on fire, she backed away from him as he jumped from her.
Levy stood shakily on her feet again, her wings making her wobble; still not use to them. The solid script mage held her hands together, parallel to each other, focusing power into the center. A solid black ball formed in her hands, growing until it was as big as a beach ball. Gajeel was running towards her not noticing the black ball.
The ball flew to him slowly, smacking him in the face, he was pushing against it, but it wasn't budging. The ball smashed him against a tree and it wasn't letting him move, "Ready to give up Black steel?" she taunted him, using his name from when he was in Phantom Lord. The man growled then turned into a shadow and moved from the tree to behind her. Gajeel struck her, smacking her legs out from under her.
Gajeel transformed his arm into a club, smashing it down but she moved to the side, he tried again on the other side, but she had moved again. As he was trying to club her anywhere, Levy was moving out of his way every time while simultaneously forming a small cloud in her hands. When Gajeel lifted up to club her again she threw it directly into his open mouth and nose.
The slayer started coughing again, his arms falling limply to his sides. Levy scooted away to a tree and watched at this point. "Done?" She asked.
He was coughing but nodded to her, she stood up and walked away from him. "I don't want to ever talk to you again." She whispered with her back to him, but she knew that he heard her.

Levy was back in her tent she had her lacrima communication out in front of her, "I wanna join your guild." She said as the person on the other end smiled.
