Come Back To Me

Watashi no ai

Why would someone do something so vile like that ?
Tears visited my face again for the millionth time this day.
I held the ring in my palm, smooth,
"My love" I said under my breath

"What if he's alive ?" Lily suggested. It was an outrageous thought

"He isn't Lily we saw him die right before our eyes" that memory came back to me everyday.

"No Levy, we saw him get sucked into a portal, we didn't know where that led" he did have a point but my mind and eyes just focused on the ring in my palm.

"Maybe this is a clue" Lily said again. He could be right.

"Maybe it is" my voice was still weak "but what sort of clue is this all it is, is a symbol of love"

"Well where did you first fall in love with him ?" Lily's voice was full of concern

"Tenrou island" He wanted to be my partner "when I was doing my s-class mission

"Do you want to go to Tenrou" I wanted to but all my mind was telling was that I will find nothing. Maybe this wasn't even a clue.

"No" I then walked out of the living room back to mine and Gajeel's room. Leaving half of the lasagne on the side.

***

Lily didn't come to see me for the rest of the day. I still clutched the ring in my hand and occasionally squeezed it which mad a mark in my hand.

I wanted him back so ever desperately

I never told him I was pregnant, that was one of my biggest regrets, maybe he wouldn't have been as suicidal when he was fighting his last fight

***

I awoke in the middle of the night thinking about Tenrou. I wanted to go. It was worth a shot.

I bolted out of bed and grabbed a duffle bag and put some clothes in, a book for the journey and some other things that I may or may not have needed.

I walked into the living  room the see Lily asleep in his cat bed on the floor. I was oversized for him considering he was in him smaller form.
I walked over to his bed and crouched down

"Lily wake up" I whispered yet my voice still startled him.

"What are you doing up Levy you should be resting" his voice sounded sleepy, I should have waited until morning but if Gajeel was alive after all these months I needed to find him.

"We're going to Tenrou!" I had slight dose of excitement in my voice.

Suddenly Lily shot out of his bed and was in his feet.

"Don't you think we  should wait until morning" I knew Lily was concerned for the child that was growing inside of me but I needed to find him.

"We can't lose anymore time Lily" I smile was starting to spread on my face. This was the first smile that had shone out of my face in months

This mad a smile appear on Lily's face as well.

We started to head out of the house. I told Lily to jump into the bag as j walked down the street. Me and Gajeel lived in the city so we could get access to anywhere. We lived round the corner form Kardia Cathedral.
I started my journey down to the harbour to try and get on a boat that led to Tenrou. If not I would rent a boat and get there by myself
I will get to Tenrou and find Gajeel.
