The Valley of Fears

A STORMY SKY

The night was still as the brilliant full moon shone in the dark sky above levy. She wished she could be outside and lay on the beautiful green grass and look up at the starry sky and round moon. But the cold reality was she couldn't. She had to stare at the moon from behind a barred window. Isn't that fun?

However, the sky wasn't all that peaceful... black angry clouds slowly formed in the sky. Levy predicted that when dawn came the sky would be grey and on the verge of crying and by the time people woke up it would be storming outside.

"Hey levy, I've been meaning to ask you... Why do you flinch every time she calls you shrimp, what does it mean to you?" Lira asked curiously as she turned her head to look at Levy.

Their beds were next to each other. The bars of the cells separating them. In the past month, levy and lira became really good friends. But that was understandable, they had to keep each other sane after all.

"It's a name that someone really close to me calls me and it hurts every time she says it because it reminds me of home when she says it with her red eyes." Levy sighed staring at the moon outside her window.

"Oh, you mean that metal head that you looooove~" Lira said smirking slyly as she laughed at Levy's red face.

"Shut up! You sound like happy." Levy exclaimed, glaring at her.

Levy has definitely been telling her too many stories. Lira had a mischievous glint in her eyes that she didn't like. It was the same glint Mira had when she loses her damn mind. Shipping demon...

"The irritating blue cat that can fly?" Lira laughed amused.

"That's the one." Levy smiled fondly as she remembered all the time she spent with her guild...

In all honestly, it left her wanting more...

"What do you think the time is?" Lira asked curiously.

"I don't know, if I had to guess I'll say it's probably around 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning." Levy said lifting her head up again to watch the beautiful full moon in the pitch black sky.

"I'll say that's an accurate guess... The moon is breathtaking tonight." Lira said also staring at the moon now with Levy.

"Yeah, it's been a while since it was a full moon." Levy replied solemnly.

"You came here during a full moon, do you remember?" Lira asked looking back at Levy again.

"You're right. It's really been that long, huh?" Levy said not taking her eyes off the mesmerising moon.

That meant that it's been a full month since she got locked up here. It crushed her heart that she was still stuck in this prison while life went on without her. It made her wonder if her guild was still searching for her. Annoying thoughts like that kept nagging in her mind.

Levy sighed, she couldn't afford to think like that otherwise she just might break. Levy's eyes didn't leave the moon, she wondered if Gajeel was seeing the same moon as she did tonight...

"When are you planning to take your nap?" Lira asked with a sigh.

Levy groaned as she remembered she was only allowed an hour of sleep a day, but her body was screaming for a months worth of sleep. She had to stay strong however even if she was so tired her body was starting to shut down. Her mind was also starting to fall asleep, her forgetfulness evident of that.

"A few hours probably." Levy grinned excitedly.

"Do you even now when a few hours is?" Lira asked raising her eyebrow with doubt.
