Good Meets Bad

Chapter Seventeen:Savior

"Uhmm... Lucy-sama?"

The said woman raised a brow, "Yea?"

Yukino played with the hem of her shirt and she stuttered, "I h-heard that the L-Lucifer Gang teamed up with a few gangs and t-they are heading f-for your f-friends."

Gajeel and Lucy's eyes widened.

"Shit," The blonde stared at Gajeel, "Go back to our hideout and call out my members. Tell them we're going to kill."

"Sure."

Jellal leaned against a light post, pushing his sleeve upwards to glance at his watch. He sighed as he nibbled on his bottom lip. Lucy was late. Very late. He knew he shouldn't be that worried, Lucy was a gang leader and she was strong enough to handle herself but... he had a bad feeling. Not for her, but for him and his friends. He felt... bad vibes.

"Neh, Jellal," Loke said, pushing his glasses up by his index finger, "Are you sure she said to meet here? I mean, it's been about an hour and she's still not here."

"Yes," The bluenette answered, licking his lips, "She'll come, let's wait a little more."

Erza sighed, "Okay."

"I'm worried for Gajeel," Levy said, clasping her fingers together, "He said he'll be back in thirty minutes but he's still not here..."

"Gajeel will be fine," Laxus said, eyeing Jellal's head from behind, "He's a man, if someone tries to rape him, he won't decline."

They all laughed and Levy blushed. Jellal chuckled as well and he was about to say something when a bullet whizzed past his ear. Levy's eyes widened and she attempted to scream. Well, she tried but a hand was clamped over her mouth, muffling her screams. A gun was pointed at her head and soon, people armed with guns surrounded the Student Council.

A voice chuckled, "Nobody move."

Jellal's eyes darted everywhere, was this what Lucy mentioned last night?

"Jellal I... you'll be targeted starting tomorrow. Do not listen to any of them, I will come, okay?"

The bluenette stepped back and a woman pointed her gun at him, "He said don't move, bastard!"

"I don't have to listen to you," Jellal bluntly said and Loke's jaw dropped. He wanted to tell him to stop acting so tough but a gun was pressed to the back of his neck. Never have he felt this frightened before, except for the time when they saw Lucy working at a café.

The woman's eyebrow raised and she grinned maniacally, "He's the one! He's War Maiden's boyfriend!"

"I should've known that they were going to go after you," Natsu said, laughing nervously, "I'm all fired up but I don't want to die yet."

"Shut up!"

Natsu nodded furiously, trembling.

"You're going to die soon if this man's girlfriend doesn't arrive," A man with fiery red hair said, pointing his thumb at Jellal, "Either way, you'll still die. After all," He grinned mischievously, "We never leave any evidence."

Laxus swallowed a lump in his throat and he ignored the metal thing pressed against his temple. He closed his eyes; they had no choice but to wait for Lucy. If he attacked the guy behind him, all guns would be pointed at him and he would be found lying on the ground with blood pooling around him. He shuddered at the thought and he stared at Jellal once again. Why did he have to like a crazy, sexy, hot, cold, merciless woman?

The area was silent and Jellal began to wonder where the police was. They were on the streets, someone should've screamed right now and the police would come to arrest these gangsters. But no one came, no one screamed and no one was there.
