I'm Not A Weakling (Book 2)

Chapter 2

Levy

      I woke up an infirmary. 'Why is everything so blurry?' Then I remembered. My hand went up to the eyepatch on my right eye. 'I should've stayed back instead of going.'

      "Lev-y" I turned to see Gajeel sleeping at my side. 'That's right. He saved me back there. I'm so weak.' I started to stroke his hair and his worried expression turned peaceful.

      "Levy-chan, are you awake?" Juvia. "Yeah, Juvia." I can kinda see Juvia sitting up and Gray sleeping by her side as well. "Juvia thinks that we owe our guys a lot." She says. I agreed with her. Then, our attention turned to the bed in the middle. In the bed was a certain blonde mage, and by her side was a sleeping pink haired mage. 'Lu-chan, Natsu.' 

      "Lu-cy. Don't die on me." Natsu mumbled. Dying? I didn't want to think about it. Then, I started to think about the spell Lucy did on me. 

     'Shooting Star. If I remember correctly, it can only be cast by a celestial mage with great power and is considered a forbidden arts. Stars with razor sharp edges fsll from the sky to the victim. The stars' edges are lined with...' My eyes widen in realization. 'a death poison.' I turned to Gajeel. 

      "Levy-chan, you're turning pale."Juvia pointed out. I shook Gajeel and he woke up. He woke up and said, "Levy? You're awake?" I started to tremble and suddenly coughed up blood. 

      "Levy!" Gajeel and Juvia shouted loud enough to wake up Gray and Natsu. "Levy, what's happening?"

      I looked up to Gajeel and saw his worried face. "T-The stars. The edges were lined with a death poison." Gajeel stepped back with shock, then shook his head. "No, this is not happening! I am not going to lose you again!" He pulls me into a tight hug. "Juvia will get Master!" She was about to go, but Gray told her to stay and he left. 

      "Gajeel," I said weakly. "No! I am not going to lose you! Everything I love always get taken away from me!" he shouts. I was too surprised to react, so I pulled him off me so I stared into his eyes. "Don't worry Gajeel. I don't planning leave your side anytime soon." I gave him a kiss and cupped his face. "Count on that."

Lucy

      I woke up in dark abyss. 'I guess I've survived.'

      "Well, not really." A familiar voice said behind me. I turned around to find Akuma with a sharp edged sword. "No, I-I killed you." She taps her cheek with her sword. "Um, not quite. I revived. The perks of being a demon. As for you," She takes her sword and puts it under my chin. "Physically, your heart stopped, but spiritually, you're still alive, so I dragged you here."

      I gritted my teeth. "What do you want?"

      "Let's see. Remember in the GMG battles they would bet on stuff if they win or lose?" I nodded my head. "Yeah. I want to do that." 'She wants to fight? Fine by me.' 

      "OK. How about if I win, I get to leave, and you can't hurt my friends and family ever again."

      "Hm, fine. And if I win, I kill you and take over you body. I can do anything I want. Deal?"

      'If I agree, I'll taking a risky gamble here, but I have no other  choice.' "Deal."

      Akuma smiled. "Then let the battle, begin!"
