A sprinkle of attraction (A GaLe fanfic) Book 2 of 'Sprinkle of' series

《Chapter ❹》 『What's going on?!』

---
Erza's POV

We ran out of the car and into the house, everyone in Levy's protection team was nearly dead, "R-run..." Freed muttered, "I-it's a trap.." Then he went silent, "Freed!" Mira yelled, she quickly grabbed her phone from her pocket she was about to dial the police but an bullet shattered the phone.
"Metallicana!?" Natsu yelped, "No." I said putting my hand out.
"Gajeel."
"What is he doing here!?" Natsu screamed, "That's what I would like to know." I glared at him.
He shot another bullet at Natsu, I quickly pushed him out of the was, the bullet just only making contact with my dress.
"Mira!" I yelled, "Right!"
She quickly ran to him, she had this 'sixth sense' which allowed her to anticipate the moves of anything and have lightning quick reflexes, Gajeel, shot another bullet at Mira but she evaded it, ran up to him and kicked the gun out of his hand, I grabbed Evergreen's stilettos as threw them at Gajeel, pinning him against the wall.
Natsu switched on the lights and then we all realised that this entire thing was just a setup, Gajeel had slumped over, unconscious, as though he was being controlled by someone, and that someone was nearby.

We all turned our heads to a sound of clapping, another man walked down the stairs, clapping, he had dark black hair and spoke in a very calm tone. "Well done, well done!" He laughed, "Nothing less I expected from you, Natsu."
"Who the hell are you!" Natsu yelled, "Oh. It seems you do not recall? Such a shame. Zeref, that's my name." He said, I sense a little hint of sadness in his voice, strange...
"Levy!" Cana's voice yelled, their scouting team bursted through the front door. "Who the hell are you!?" Elfman yelled, "Stay down!" Zeref yelled, he grabbed two guns from his pocket and fired them at their team, Mira managed to save Lisanna, Cana managed to evade them but unluckily for the other three, they were wounded.
"What did you do!!" Natsu yelled, "The bullet isn't harmful, it's laced with a drug that immediately knocks you out. Kinda neat huh?" He smirked, "Now where were we?" Zeref cooly asked.
"You maniac!" Cana yelled, "How could you do such a thing!?"
"Silence fool, you weren't invited." He sighed and shot another bullet at Cana, she quickly dodged and threw a shard of glass at him, which he easily shattered with a bullet, such lightning quick reflexes!
"I guess I shall take my leave now, don't worry, three got away, I shall not harm them. And with that he jumped out a window.

We somehow managed to make it back to the hospital, Levy, Wendy and Romeo were still missing, Natsu, Mira, Cana and Lisanna were out looking for them, the others were all getting treated, nothing fatal, just a few bullet wounds. Thankfully.
Though I was mostly confused.
How did Gajeel get out?
What happened in there?
Who is this 'Zeref'
What relation does he have with Natsu?
We went in to Gajeel's room to ask what had happened, he said he didn't remember, strange...
Maybe he was under the influence of drugs? But, his medical scans, said absolutely nothing.
What's going on here!?

Levy's POV
---
Wendy, Romeo and I kept running, none of us looked back, why did Gajeel suddenly attack!? And upstairs, were there more of them!? We need to get back to the hospital immediately!
"Duck!" Romeo yelled, we all managed to duck as a bullet was shot at us, "Run!" Wendy screamed, I quickly grabbed a rock and threw it at the man, somehow it managed to hit him, stunning him for a few minutes.
Romeo led the way, running through some avenues, "Not so fast!" Another man yelled, he must've intercepted us at one of the routes!
"Outta our way!" Romeo yelled running towards the man, knocking him down. He quickly grabbed his gun and continued to run.
We ran closer and closer to the hospital before we hit a dead end.
"Damn it!" Romeo cussed, we turned around to run back but another man walked around the corner.
"Gray-San!" Wendy exclaimed, I quickly grabbed her hands and puller her back, "Gray isn't that tall." I sternly said, under the man's breath I swear he muttered 'don't speak of such a filthy name.' But it could've been me.
"Ahaha!" He laughed like a maniac, that laugh sent a chill down my spine. "Levy Mcgarden, what a smart little girl you are." He cooed, his voice was cold as ice, "You are completely correct, I am not Gray yes, but rather, a relative." He sneered, "Relative!? But all of Gray's relative's passed away in that mass murder!" I screamed, "Get back!" Romeo yelled, he shot three bullets at the man, in which he shot three bullets back, deflecting ours.
"Don't bother, you're cornered. As I was saying-"
His words were interrupted by a honk of a red car, the headlights became bigger and brighter.
"Move!" I screamed, pushing Wendy and Romeo out of the way, I quickly jumped and avoided getting hit, however that man was sent flying, "Get in quick!" Natsu yelled, we didn't hesitate.
