Hi again Readers :3 And welcome to my second fanfic. And of course, the first one that's gonna have multiple chapters ;) I got the idea from ~wolfwing44's picture on deviant art, which is also the cover for this story ;3
Hope you enjoy :D

Fairy Tail is sadly not mine, but belongs to Hiro Mashima :P

It was a rather quiet day in the Fairy Tail guild, almost too quiet. The reason for that might be that Team Natsu, Jet, Droy and Gajeel where not there this afternoon. Natsu and the rest where not there because of some job they had gotten. Jet and Droy just went somewhere earlier, and no-one really paid any mind on where. But Gajeel was kinda missing, and this didn't get past Fairy Tail's resident bookworm.

Levy sat reading at her usual table, but couldn't really get into it. She was worried about Jet and Droy, but mostly she was worried about Gajeel. And no, you didn't hear wrong. Her and the dragon slayer had become very great friends after the seven years on Tenroujima.
She went to the bar to get something to get her mind of things, and ordered scrambled eggs and an OJ for herself. The great matchmaker of Fairy Tail, Mirajane, of course noticed her worried expression.

"Levy, is something wrong? You look worried," she said sympathetically. Of course she was plotting on the inside.

"Hi Mira," Levy said a bit weakly. "I'm fine, it's just that Jet and Droy have been away for some time now. And Gajeel haven't been here in a while" She mumbled the last part out of embarrasment. She wasn't sure why, but she had started to notice Gajeel a lot more recently. They where just friends, right?

"What was that? I didn't quite catch the last part," Mira said cheerfully. She of course knew that Gajeel had been at hpme resting up from a hard mission he and Lily had a few days ago. "Anyways, Gajeel's at his apartment if you where wondering." Levy's eyes lit up at that. So he isn't missing, she thought letting all the worry seep out of her.

"Okay, thanks," she said and sprinted out without touching the food she had ordered for herself.

"C'mon," someone whispered in the dark. "We have to be quick so that the iron lump doesn't notice us." Two figures, one slim and one large, moved through the hallway of Gajeel's messy apartment.

"Yeah yeah, don't worry. He's knocked out cold after the mission he went on," the large one answered. They reached his bedroom and prayed that he wouldn't wake by the creak of the door. Thankfully for them he didn't, and they sneaked inside.

"You think we need the entire bottle?" the slim one asked. He took out said bottle and held it up for his partner to see. The liquid inside was purple and sometimes a bubble popped on the surface.

"Just do it to be sure," he answered. The slim one did so and poured the entire content of the bottle down the dragons throat. He instinctively swallowed and wrinkled his studded brows in disgust. The purple liquid apparently tasted weird, not that it would be so strange.

"Let's get out of here!" the large one said and dragged his companion out of there. They left so quickly that they didn't get to see the light that appeared in Gajeel's bedroom.

Levy was walking in the quiet streets of Magnolia. It seemed like the entire town was quiet when Natsu and his team was out on a mission. She greeted several people, and talked a bit with the owner of her favourite bookshop. When she rounded a corner, she stumbled upon a flustered looking Jet and Droy.

"Hi guys, what are you doing here?" she asked them nicely. They flinced at her question and looked around nervously.

"H-hi Levy-chan, fancy meeting you here," Jet said with a shaky laugh. Droy nodded in confirmation beside him. "Oh, would you look at the time! We should be... somewhere that's not here!" Then he dragged Droy with him who barely got out a "Bye Levy-chan" before they rounded the corner Levy had come from. Well that was weird... And they didn't even answer my question, she thought. but she just shrugged it off and kept walking. She wasn't in any rush now that she knew where Gajeel was, so she took her time and greeted some other people she knew. But at last she ran out of patience, and picked up a quick pace straight to his apartment when she was about halfway there.

Gajeel's apartment was not the nicest and most expensive there was, but he and Lily managed it well. It was located in the outskirts of the town, and the rent wasn't bad. Lwvy walked up to the door and knocked weakly. No-one answered so she knocked a bit harder this time.

"Hello! Is there anyone home?" she shouted at the door. Since she didn't get any answer, she tried opening the door. It was unlocked so she just went in. It wasn't anything big. Just some hooks on the wall by the door for coats, iron piled up in the kitchen/living room (more like living space), a narrow hallway with two doors that probably lead to the bedroom and the bathroom. She knocked on the door she thought was the bedroom. Since no-one answered, she opened the door slightly and peeked in through a small gap.

"Hello? Gajeel, are you there?" she whispered into the dark room. No answer. She turned on the lights to see better, and was shocked by the state of the room. There was even more iron here than in the living room, and the bed in the middle wasn't much better. The sheets where in a bundle like someone had just curled up in them and stayed. She stood beside the bed and poked at the sheets.

"Just five more minutes Lily," someone that sounded very much like Gajeel said so suddenly that Levy jumped halfway to the roof and let out a little squeak. There was something small, black and fluffy in there, but this was, apparently, not Pantherlily.

Okay, now that that's over, what do you think?
What has happened to Gajeel you think? And who did this? ;)
I will probably not update very often, but I'll do my best :) So don't hate me if it takes too long ;P
Till next time :3 And review if you please ;3
