The Valley of Fears

SHRIMP

Just because I'm telling you this story doesn't mean I'm alive at the end of it. This could all be pre-recorded and I could be talking to you from the bottom of the ocean. Yeah, it's that kind of a story. Because things just got so out of control...

xXx

It was a silent night. Every sound that once was in the day seemed to have fallen asleep as soon as the sun disappeared, except the sound of Levy's footsteps. Her footsteps were the only thing heard in the deathly silent twilight as she neared what could be the end of her. The last glimmer of light vanished making the atmosphere eery. She stood on the border of the valley and the dark guild as she broke the enchantment that surrounded the dark guild which protected it from unwanted visitors.

She was officially in dark guild territory...

Levy walked into the territory of the vicious dark guild as the stars started showing their faces one by one and danced across the sky. It made her think back to the time they had to fight the celestial king to save Lucy's celestial spirits, however in the process of protecting Gajeel she became a constellation herself. Even though she turned into stars she still watched over her friends and Gajeel and prayed for their safety.

In the end what she was doing now didn't differ much from what she had done back then when she pushed Gajeel out the way and became a constellation. Her fairy tail side kicked in, it was as simple as that. Nothing more, nothing less. It was her side that pushed her own life and health aside to protect the people close to her. Her family.

But back then when they fought the celestial king everyone needed Gajeel's strength more than her own. So she gave herself up for him. Now Natsu needed Lucy the most. So she's giving herself up for her... Since Natsu met Lucy he always needed her more than he needed the rest of the guild members. They had something special. Levy clenched her fists as she walked determinedly to the giant castle ruins in front of her.

She knew this was probably the most idiotic and reckless plan she has ever come up, but this was the only way Natsu could get Lucy back...

Levy knew Fairy Tail would come for her and save her anyway. So she'll only be there for a little while. It wasn't that bad, she just had to endure and stay alive...

Levy may have been needed, but nobody needed her like Natsu needed Lucy. She neared the dark guild, but it wasn't like anybody could've waltzed into the dark guild hideout. However, to a solid script wizard, it really wasn't that hard.

"I'm sorry Gajeel, I hope you can forgive me one day." Levy whispered to herself with a trembling voice as she lowered her head when she felt someone with strong magic approach her.

Someone from the dark guild.

Levy swallowed nervously, she was scared and utterly alone.

"How did you get past our barrier?" A black haired woman asked curiously as levy slowly lifted her head again.

Levy was normally a brave person and she was even braver when Gajeel was around to make her braver than she was, but this time he wasn't around to keep her brave.

Levy couldn't tell much about the woman since it was so dark, but she could see this woman had an attractive slim body with long black hair. She wore a tight fitting red dress with black heels.

"I'm a solid script wizard, it wasn't that hard to rewrite the rune." Levy shrugged keeping her fear behind her brave bravado.

"Oh, aren't you a brave little girl." The woman smirked with amusement bringing her head out of the shadows and into the light revealing her blood red eyes.
