the missing dragon slayer (Gajeel X Levy) COMPLETE

chapter 8

Levy

I woke up feeling weak and my head was pounding. what happened?

I looked around and realized we were back at Snow's place. I went to sit up and a sharp pain hit my ribs.

Oh yeah, Gajeel hit me there. I managed to push myself up and stand.

I forced myself to walk into the hall way and look around. No body was there.

I walked down the stairs slowly, being extra careful not to upset my cut.

Still no one to be found, my best bet would be to look in the dinning room.

When I walked in Snow, Damien, and Gajeel were sitting at the long table.

"Oh you're finally awake!" Snow said cheerfully.

"How long have I been out?" I asked and sat next to Gajeel across from Snow.

"A couple of days," Damien answered.

"How ya feeling shrimp?" Gajeel asked.

"My head and my ribs hurt a lot," I shrugged, "But its nothing too bad."

Gajeel looked away from me.

"I'm sorry you had to get hurt," Snow said sadly, "But you have no idea how happy you made me!" She began to cry and hug Damien.

He smiled and hugged her back, "its nice to be with you again, all of you."

"I'm so sorry about that," she said rubbing her head awkwardly, "I'll try my best to control it!"

"Does this mean our quest is over?" I asked.

"Oh, yes it does!" she gasped.

"Do you want to go back to the guild today?" I asked Gajeel.

"I cannot allow you to leave until you're better! You're in no condition to travel!" Snow said.

"I agree," Gajeel said looking at me with worry in his eyes.

"Really I'm fine," I insisted.

"You have a cracked rib, and an open cut. Not to mention you're probably experiencing a major headache due to trauma in your skull but that's minor," Damien stated.

"Oh," I sighed, "I guess it is bad."

Gajeel stood up "excuse me," then stormed out of the room.

"What's with him? he's been acting upset since you got back," Snow asked.

"Who knows," I sighed.

Maybe he's upset because I told him I love him? He hasn't said anything, right now he barley even looked at me.. Pain hit my heart and I felt like crying at the thought.

"He told me why," Damien said.

"Why?" me and Snow asked at the same time.

"He's mad at himself for letting Roy control him, and he's not to happy about hurting you and Lily."

"Oh Yea, how is Lily?"

"He's fine, its just an ugly bruse on his back, he just needs some rest and he'll be good to go," Snow said smiling.

"When do you think I'll be ready to go?" I asked.

"Once your wound closes," Damien answered.

"Speaking of wounds how is Gajeel's arm?" I remembered and needed to know the answer.

"Its healing just as slow as you are im afraid," Damien said, "I believe its infected because when he carried you back your back was covered in dirt and got into the cut."

"Oh god I made things worse," I leaned my pounding head on my hands.

"What's wrong?" Snow asked.

"Girl problems.. " I sighed.

"Damien can you excuse us for a moment?" she asked him politely.

He nodded and left the room.

"Tell me what happened?" Snow said moving next to me.

"Roy was controlling him and I told him I love him so he'd know just in case, cause Roy was telling him to kill me. Not that I didnt think he'd be able to get out from under Roy's control, I knew he could. I guess I just needed to tell him, hoping it would snap him out of it," I confessed feeling dizzy.

"Oh my! Has he said anything?"

"No he barely even looked at me!"

"You look really pale maybe you should go lay down," she put her hand on my arm.

"I feel light headed," I managed to say even though I thought I was about to vomit.

"Damien," Snow yelled with strong worry in her tone.

I saw the rooms light flickering, or maybe it was just in my head. Wow do I feel dizzy, was my last thought as I hit the floor.
