When There's No One Else... (GaLe fanfic)

Chapter 3 | The Pressure

Levy

I woke up with a HUGE headache.

What happened? Last thing I remember was....

My eyes burst open, and I looked around, panicked. I saw what I didn't want to. The man who held me at gunpoint.

I was NOT at the store. Fear coursed through my veins.

"LET ME GO!!!" I screamed. "Whoa, you're awake!" He said, turning around. "WHO ARE YOU?! YOU'RE SICK!!!!!" I screamed.

"Calm down." He said. "HOW DO I CALM DOWN?!! I JUST GOT KIDNAPPED!!!" I yelled. "Look, I didn't want to hold you at gunpoint, nor did I want my buddy to knock you out. But you CAN'T tell anybody about this." He said.

"I'LL TELL WHO I WANT!!!!" I yelled. "Quiet down or I'll make you!" He said. I tried to control my breathing. "You are a twisted person." I said.

"You better not tell the police about this, or that incident at the store, or I will track you down and kill you." He said. "Not if the police can get to you first." I said confidently.

"I blend with the shadows. I got away from em to get us here, didn't I?" He asked. "Why did you take me?! All you had to do was take the money and go into hiding." I questioned.

"So we could have THIS conversation." He said. "Let me go, and I might not tell the police. But if I EVER see you again-" I threatened.

"Seems good enough to me. I guess we avoid each other now?" He asked. "Yeah." I said. "Alright." He untied me. I kicked him in the stomach as hard as I could.

"That was just a payback for my headache." I said, and ran away, as fast as I could I ran.

Gajeel

I smirked. She was not bad. It'd be awesome if she'd work with us. But I have a feeling that'll never happen. I threatened her life.

I started the walk of shame back to Poison's house. I knew what was about to happen.

When I got there, I walked in the door. "Where were you?!! Wait-that's not the question I should be asking. I SHOULD be asking-where's the money?!" He asked.

"I gave it back." I said simply. "YOU GAVE IT BACK?!!" He asked, grabbing my collar. "WELL YOU ABANDONED ME!!!" I yelled. "THAT WAS MY MONEY! AND YOU GAVE IT BACK?! YOU HAD NO RIGHT!" He said.

"Actually, that was the BOOKSTORE'S money!!!" I yelled. "IT WAS MY MONEY AND YOU KNOW IT!" He yelled, punching me in the face. I knew what would happen if I fought back-he'd get a knife and do some permanent damage. It'd happened before.

So, I let him get his anger out on me.

Levy

I cried when I got home, getting online, seeing if Lucy was on. Thank goodness, she was.

Me-Hey, I need to talk.

Then, I erased it before I sent it. I couldn't tell anyone or else he'd kill me. And then I bawled, letting out my fear. I also locked everything in the house.

I was so scared, and I knew I WOULD be for a long time.
