Without a warning, Gajeel leaped forward, tackling Jose onto the ground. His eyes bled red, literally. Small streams of blood poured from his eyes, due to how insanely rage-filled he was at the moment. His mate wouldn't survive, he knew that much. She couldn't with the silver present into her system, but that didn't mean that he would give up completely. He hoped that Fairy Tail's healer fae, Wendy, had tagged along with them. If she were here, then there could still be a tiny chance at saving his little mate.

"Hmm, what's the matter Gajeel? Sad that your mate will enter the afterlife before you?" he teased him, using his unnatural-even for a vampire-strength against Gajeel, causing the pierced vampire to go flying into a wall.

The wall surrounding his frame cracked, shards of the concrete-like material piercing into his skin. Yet he ignored it, not caring about his own personal health at the moment. Levy was his top priority now. He had to make sure that she stayed alive above anything else. Tears already threatened to spill from his eyes, knowing what little chance she had at living.

"Why did ya have to do this to me, Jose?! I did ya a favor by leavin'!" he growled at him.

Jose merely chuckled. "Really? Come now, why don't you tell Levy the truth, eh? Would you want her to die without knowing who you really are?"

"She doesn't have to know about it! It's in the past, you moron!" he yelled at him, his eyes holding fear. He didn't want his mate to know about his dark past, even if she was at death's door. He didn't want the last thing heard from his mouth to be a back story that would have ruined their relationship forever.

"If you won't, then I certainly will," the pointed eared man said, using a spell to hold Gajeel against the wall.

"N-no...do-don't" Levy whispered, no longer able to keep her eyes opened.

"Gajeel wasn't just a simple clan-member, my dear. He was my right-hand man. I raised him as a ruthless killer. He grew up enjoying the feeling of murder. He loved killing innocent humans, draining them of their blood, as well as simply feeling their blood run through his fingers. He was a monster, a beast. I never educated him, nor taught him how to properly speak. He only knew the basic words of a small child, even as a young teenager. I loved how simple-minded he was. And then a war broke out...between us and Fairy Tail. They somehow beat us, taking my youngest members away from me, which were Juvia and Gajeel of course. I'm sure they had a hard time teaching him manners, though from what I see here, he hasn't learned a thing from them," Jose explained, a cruel smirk plastered upon his face.

Gajeel, now shaking violently from fully reliving his past, stared at his mate with tears in his eyes. "...Levy?... Don't...please don't hate me! I didn't know better back then, I swear! But please, please don't hate me. We both know that yer life is gonna end any minute now, and I want ya to remember me as yer loving and weird mate. Can you...please?"

"G'...jeel...l-love...y-yo-you..." Levy managed to say with her now slurring speech.

Tears fell from Gajeel's eyes. "I love ya too, Shrimp. I love ya so much..."

A harsh slap was suddenly felt upon Gajeel's face. He snapped his head towards Jose, rage building within his body once more.

"Please, do not trifle me with your boring love, Redfox. Now that your mate is due for a permanent visit with the afterlife, you shall join us once again. You will inherit this guild as your own," Jose spoke out.

Gajeel, with an intensely high amount of rage, was able to break from Jose's barrier. Despite Jose mastering basic spell casters that were made highly effective, the pierced vampire was able to break out very easily. He glanced towards Levy, wondering how much longer she had left on Earth. Even if Wendy were here, there would be no way to save her in time.

Glancing towards his old master, Gajeel cracked his knuckles. "You took away the only thing that mattered in my life. You took it away for yer own selfish desires, and ya expect me ta just join this clan again with a happy attitude? Heh, yer dumber than I thought. You make Salamander look like a genius, and that ain't good, Jose...not good at all."

"Come now, Gajeel. I did this for your own good. You wouldn't have wanted a vampire mate, leaving you to take care of her and any children that you sired," Jose snorted out.

In a flash, Gajeel leaped towards Jose, grabbing him swiftly by the neck. "You don't get, do ya? I'm a changed man now, Jose. I would do anything, anything to have my mate alive and well, pregnant with our child."

Instantly, he began to crush Jose's neck, leaving the older man wincing and choking violently. With his other hand, Gajeel unleashed his vampiric claws, slicing and dicing at the man's body. Vampire blood poured out form the wounds, creating a puddle on the floor and drenching Jose's clothing. Again and again, Gajeel swiped at his old master, who tried his best to fight back. He gave Gajeel a few wounds, but nothing incredibly severe.

With a last resort of energy, Jose was able to shake free of the pierced vampire's hold, crawling towards Levy's cell. Along the way, he grabbed a bottle of poisoned air that fell onto the floor from his torturing case.

Growling, Gajeel began to make his way over towards Jose. When suddenly, the bleeding man uncorked the poisonous gas, allowing it to engulf both Levy and himself.

"Levy! LEVY!!!" Gajeel yelled out as loudly as he could.

Severe sizzling was heard, the cries and weakened screams of his mate emerging from within poison cloud.

"Levy! Hold on!" Gajeel choked out, trying to unlock the cell. However, when he reached into the gas cloud with both of his hands, he himself cried out and quickly retreated his hands. Inspecting them, he noticed that they were badly burned, obviously now scarred for life.

"LEVY!" Gajeel called out again, tears threatening to spill from his eyes as he noticed how silent the two were from within the gas cloud.

The gas cloud finally began to fade, leaving behind the results that it had caused. Gajeel choked on a sob, falling to his knees when he finally could see the damage clearly.

Jose was now nothing more than a pile of ash.

As well as Levy...

Loud sobs emerged from Gajeel, Tears flooding from his eyes upon the floor. She died a horrible, brutal death. His mate was no longer alive. He failed her.

He failed her....

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! LEEEVVVYYY!!!!! COME BACK!!!! PLEASE! GODS ABOVE BRING HER BACK TO ME!!!!"
