A Dangerous Love{GaLe}

Chapter 5

Gajeel P.O.V

As we arrived at the party I got out and helped Levy. We walked towards the door and I presented out invitations. "Mr. and Mrs.Redfox. Welcome, please enjoy."

'I'm gonna kill Lucy.' I though as we headed inside. The room was massive, larger than the manors main room. The walls and ceiling were white as were the floors. Colorful tables were scattered about and people were dancing in the middle of the floor.

"Do you see him?" Levy asked as she grabbed some champagne from a passing server. I quickly scanned the room. "10 o'clock, 5'5" medium build. Cane." She sipped her drink as she scanned the room. She nodded slightly when she spotted him.

There were no women around him, so I wasn't sure where the wife was getting the affair idea. I nearly jumped out of my skin when Levy took my hand. "Just follow my lead." she whispered.

Then she started pulling me to the dance floor. I tried to stop but she kept pulling. Once there she put my hand on her waist and took my free hand."Now dance." she said. I sighed but did.

"So what are we doing?" I asked. "We stand out to much just standing still." I nodded. The way we danced we always had an eye on him, either me or her.

After awhile I pulled her to the side to let her sit. I looked around and saw Highwater leaving through a back door. I gently grabbed her shoulder and leaned down."Rear door. I'm going to follow him." I whispered.

She nodded and stood. She followed Highwater out the door while I exited the front.

Levy P.O.V

I quietly closed the door behind me and listened hard. Apart from the party I could hear footsteps down the hall. It was cooler in here which told me the lights were off, making following his easier.

I followed the sounds down the hall and I finally saw his figure turn in to a room. I quietly approached the room, but I stopped when I heard a familiar sound.

Three soft sounds, a gun with a silencer. Three shots. I hurried for the room and threw the door open. Highwater lay dead on the ground, three holes in his forehead.

"Hello little mouse, long time no see." My eyes widened at the voice and then I saw the figure. I may not be able to make out her features anymore, but I would know her anywhere. The brand on my ribs burned at the memory. Somehow my blood chilled in fear and boiled in anger at the same time.

"Ultear..." Her black hair was was still long and she wore a tight cocktail dress. "Mr.Fernandez says hello. He does miss you terribly." I gritted my teeth.

"He can go to hell for all I care." I spat. She chuckled. "Oh I'm sure. Will you be a dear and greet him when he arrives?"

Her gun was already in hand so I knew she had the advantage. I had to dive out the door as she fired. I pulled my gun from it's holster when I felt a pain in my left side. I used my left hand and felt the wetness on my dress and my side throbbed.

'That skank shot me!'

The adrenalin in my veins was making it bearable, and I had survived worse. I had to finish this up quick.

Gun in hand I lept back into the door way and fire several shots at her. She dodged and fired some more round at me. I felt them skin my arms and one pierced threw my leg.

I tried not to cry out as my leg have out. I was kneeling on the ground as I looked up at her. I grinned realizing she was hit too. She had a hand on her stomach and was breathing heavily.

The weight of my gun told me I had only two shots left. I fired and nailed her in the shoulder. The force pushed her out the window. I limped to my feet and hurried to the window.

There were several more shots, which told me Gajeel had seen her and was chasing her off. I leaned against the wall by the broken window and slid down the wall.

I was really starting to feel the pain now and it was hard to keep my eyes open. A loud thud and the crunch of broken glass told me Gajeel had came in threw the window.

"Damn shrimp, she did a number on you." He tried to joke but I heard the panic in his voice. I smiled at him." Oh that crazy bitch has done worse to me." I winced as he lifted me into his arms.

"Oh yeah?" he asked. He tried to keep me talking so I wouldn't pass out from shock. I nodded. "She is part of Crime Socier." I felt him tense alittle but he continued to walk.

"So she's the one that-" "You know, how about I tell you the story after I get patched up." He nodded. I heard him open a car door and gently set me on the seat. "The hell happened?!" Alzack asked as he drove away.

"Ultear." I said. He was silent but I heard his grip on the steering wheel tighten. Gajeel was rummaging around in the back of the car for something while Al drove. Gajeel tore my dress at the side where I was shot. He pressed gauze on it to stop the bleeding and I tried not to wince.

He grabbed my hand and put it on the wound and he started working on my leg. I was so tired but I knew I had to try and stay awake. No matter how hard I fought though, unconsciousness slowly took over.
