The Reason

The Warmth Within

Gajeel's P.O.V.

I was surprised at the shrimps courage. It astonished me really, but I could see the fear within her warm hazel brown eyes. But I could also see the determination in those eyes, an  I knew then that she would not leave the old man here with me. She would probably rated die than do that. Wasn't she  scared of what I could possibly do to a small fairy like her? The old man interrupted my thoughts, begging me to change my mind, but I had made a deal with that girl, and I intended to keep it.

I threw him into a carriage and hit the stallion that was hooked up to it. They bolted out of sight. A million thoughts raced their ways through my head as I went back up the stairs to help Levy.

When I got there I could tell she had been crying, but I knew she wouldn't admit it.

"What's your name shrimp?"

"Well it's definitely not shrimp metal brain."

Shrimps got spunk, that's for damn sure.

"Alright smartass, I was being serious,. What. is. your. NAME."

"Levy. Your's?"

"Gajeel, follow me."

"But, Wh-

"Do ya really wanna stay in here that bad?"

"No, not-

"Then follow me."

"ok......."

We walked through the long corridors of my castle. I could tell she was curious  but she was keeping it all in. Probably to scared to ask me anything. Not that I blame her though.

"If you have any questions, go ahead and ask. I might and I might not answer."

"Does this place have a library? Where do you sleep? Just what are you going to do once you get bored of me? And where are you taking me should be good enough questions for now."

"I thought you would've had more questions n that shrimp. But to make things  interesting, I'm not gonna answer any of em' for now. Gihi"

"So what am I supposed to do here when minor with you?"

"Explore. As long as you stay away from the west wing of my home. You can't go there."

"Why?"

"BECAUSE I SAID SO DAMMIT!"

She flinched when I shouted, and I instantly felt terrible.....

"Look, I'm sorry shrimp. I just need you to.......

"trust?"

"yeah, that, when I say that you need  to stay away from that place, it's not a place for a girl like yo, ok?"

"Fine."

We were at her room door. I turned to look at her. Plain dress, silky blue hair, and big, curious hazel brown eyes. She was beautiful, and I bet she didn't realize it.

"Would you join me for dinner tonight?"

"I don't know......"

"You don't have to, if you want to get your bearings first then that's fine, as long as you join me for dinner from then onwards, ok?"

"Ok. Thank you....... Gajeel."

Levy's P.O.V.

I heard Gajeel leave, and I began to investigate my new room. IT WAS HUGE. Fit for a princess. A large wardrobe was on the far right, a dresser, vanity, and the bed.... all of it was gilded with what looked like silver. The bed had lush blankets, cream with a deep, rich purple swirly design on them. I went through the wardrobe and found several dresses. I decided to put on an orange corset dress. The corset part stopped at the bottom of my tummy and became a puff that stopped at my mid thigh. It looked gorgeous. When I came out of my room,  decided I would begin my exploration.
