Strength {GaLe/Laxus x OC- Fairy Tail}

Ch 16: Memories part 4

P.O.V Master

I was worried sick! Laxus and Hope were heading towards the Consul for a discussion meeting to know what they are going to do with The Butcher. After my grandson called me yesterday night and told me everything about it I made some research about the theme… and just let me tell you that it was horrible! Fiore was in a state of paralyzing fear, no one had the enough guts to sleep because they were afraid of being killed in their sleep… until The Saviors, that's the name everyone gave to Hope's team (which didn't have a name before the event), appeared to save the day. They became quiet famous after capturing The Butcher however for what Yajima told me it wasn't worth it. He was there when The Saviors, more specifically Hope, explained the Consul the criminal's reasons, his way of thinking, how he ended up so messed up and what he was going to do if they wouldn't have stopped him… she… well they looked… dead as if something had died inside of them. According to what Yajima told me, it seemed that their innocence died that night when they saw The Butcher's eyes.

And here I am now, sitting on the guild's bar drinking as much alcohol as I could to prevent myself from rushing to the side of my grandson and his mate… Hope wasn't part of Fairy Tail but I considered her as one of my children too. I still remember when I first saw her and her big brother:

-There people in this world who prefer solitude but there is no one that can withstand it- I told Gajeel. I saw his eyes opening wide and I knew that my words had hit the right spot… and also a glimpse of fear to what was waiting for him in either both paths.

Suddenly sweet and livid laughter echoed in the metallic room- Gihi! You should hear to Master Makarove- a little girl landed between us. She pretty cute with her short purple hair, red eyes, black three quarters pants and her grey fur hooded t-shirt which hood had the form of a wolf head- He is right Gajeel- she smiled sadly at him- Friends are important… you should start caring for another people that are not me.

"Who is this girl?"- Tch! I don't need friends- Gajeel stood up and kneeled in front of her and smiled happily ruffling her hair- I have enough with you, my angel of Hope- I widened my eyes in surprise. I expected him to be gentle and smile like that after months or maybe a year of being part of Fairy Tail… but not to do it immediately.

-But I'm not enough for you!- she shouted angrily running to my side- Please don't be angry with Onichama!- she begged me "Onichama?! Was she Gajeel's little sister?"- He might be rough and a bit rude… well maybe a lot rude- 'Hey!' Gajeel protested causing me to chuckle- He didn't want to hurt any of your guild's members.

-Hope, that's enough- Gajeel stated with a stern and firm voice. I was very confused "What was going on?".

-No he needs to know!- she growled "Now I see the similitude between both Redfox's siblings"- Ye! He had killed, tortured and kidnapped before but that was three years ago. Now he is different, he never kills or torture and he only kidnaps when it is necessary for a mission- she began to sob and I stood there frozen.

-Hope enough- Gajeel's voice started to shake.

-It was my fault! If I wasn't so weak Master Jose wouldn't have used me to black mail Onichama to do as he said or he would kill me- she fell to her knees crying desperately-He had been in darkness ever since Metalicana left him until I came and gave him a bit of light… but I'm not enough! Please understand him he didn't have anyone to teach him what was good and what was bad… however, he did a great job when I came to his side. You can ask anyone even Juvia-onechan she will tell you that the Bloody Iron Dragon Slayer disappeared completely three years ago! So please don't be mad with him… be mad with me it was my entire fault…
