Chapter 1

Levy's POV

A whimper wakes me up from my sleep. I open my eyes and look to see Gajeel there. He looks at me and I sigh.

"Alright. I'm up," I say as his ears perk up and his tail wags.

I get out of bed and yawn. I look at the time to see it reads 11:30.

"Oh no! I overslept," I say as I hurry to my bathroom to get ready.

I take a quick shower and get dress. I then head to the kitchen to see Gajeel there. I give him some iron and I eat some breakfast myself.

"Ok let's go! We need to make the11:45 train!"

I make sure I have everything, then I leave my apartment at Fairy Hills with Gajeel behind me.

"Hi Juvia! Bye Juvia," I say as we run past a fellow Guildmate.

It's been 7 years since I found Gajeel at the Dark Guild. The Magic Council was able to stop them, but all their notes, except their plan to rule over Fiore that I was able to grabbed, was destroyed. We have been trying to figure out a way to turn Gajeel back to normal, but nothing have been working. If we can find the person that put the spell on Gajeel, who didn't get captured and escaped for some reason, maybe she can undo the spell. The only people who know about Gajeel's true origins are, Gramps, the Magic Council, and Porlyusica. Everyone else thinks he's a wolf that followed me home from my job. Which is true, though we didn't tell them the whole truth.

"We made it," I say as we barely get on the train. "Let's find a place to sit."

We find a place to sit. I relax as the train starts to move. Gajeel lays on the floor of our cart. I take a book out and start to read.

Gajeel's POV

I watch Shrimp as she reads. It's really interesting to see her. I miss being able to talk to her. But because the necklace with that spell broke, we need to wait until we find another gem that can withstand magic and hold a spell at the same time. It's been hard, but I know we will find it soon. Out cart door opens and I look over to see Bunny Girl dragging Salamander as they enter. Happy, their annoying flying cat, comes in and close the door behind us.

"Urg...Luce~, why did we have to take the train?"

"Stop complaining Natsu," Lucy says.

"Oh, hey guys! I didn't see you there," Levy says as she looks up from her book.

"Sorry about crashing your cart. All the other seats were taken," Lucy says.

"Thanks fine! So what job are you guys going on," Shrimp ask 'em.

"We are suppose to help someone protect their land from magical creatures. Apparently they are from that Dark Guild that the Magic Council busted 7 years ago are roaming around there," Bunny Girl says. "What about you?"

"Translation job? So where is you job?"

"It's near a town called Waterlily," Lucy says.

"Huh. Well our job is near Waterlily. Maybe we can work on both of them at the same time. There might be something in the book that can help you with the magical creatures," Levy says.

"Great idea. I can help you with that while Natsu sleeps. What does BlackSteel do while you are on jobs?"

"He keeps me company and safe. No offense to Jet and Droy, but I feel safer and comfortable around him. Jet and Droy keeps arguing and trying to show each other up. BlackSteel doesn't."

"That's true. Remember the last job the four of you guys took. They passed out in the first couple of minutes and you guys had to finish it up," Lucy says.

"Yeah. But they are my friends. So I'm not going to stop taking jobs with them because of that," Shrimp says.

The door opens up at the conductor looks is. He spots me, then looks at Levy.

"Ma'am, there are no pets aloud on the train," he says as I growl at him for calling me a pet.

"Oh no sir! He's not my pet! You see, he's my friend that really like wolves. So he use magic to turn himself into a wolf. He likes being a wolf, especially on trains," Levy says.

"Really? And what's his name then," the conductor says with a smug look on his face.

"Gajeel," Levy says almost instantly.

"Oh really? Wells that nice. Why don't you tell us about him," the conductor says, not really believing her.

"Ok. He have black spikes hair, crimson red eyes, and tan skin. He is also really tall. Gajeel have scars on his right arm. He also have a good amount of piercings," Levy says. "Is there anything else or do you want me to go on?"

The conductor looks at her in utter confusion and shock.

"Well..er...is the Wolf is human, why doesn't he turn back," he says.

"He doesn't turn back for nosy people like you. Goodbye," Levy says as she stands up and close the door.

Lucy and Happy looks at Levy in surprise and she sits back down and sigh.

"Man I hate when that happens. Gods thing we took care of that when we did," Shrimp says as I nod my head in agreement.

"Levy?! How did you do that? It was like he actually is a person though he's a wolf," Lucy ask her.

"Well after I came back, we got BlackSteel a magical collar so that I can understand what he is thinking so that I will be able to take care of him. He can still have private thoughts with the necklace on. He just had to project what he wanted to say through the necklace so that I could understand him. We also thought there might be some trouble with the trains, since he insist to go with me on every job, so we made Gajeel Redfox up. I've memorized him so it's easy to describe him."

"Oh. That makes sense. Though what happened to the necklace," Bunny Girl ask Levy.

"It broke. I've been trying to find a gem that is strong and can withstand the correct spell."

"Well why not the Stellanium from Stella. You know the island country," Lucy ask her.

"I tried to order some. But it never came and they wouldn't give me a refund. So I refuse to buy from them," Lev explains to her.

"Ok? Well what about-"

"I don't mean to interrupt, but we tried everything. Now if we got a hold of one of the necklaces the Dark Guild used...then I could get rid of the spell on it and put the correct spells on it so that BlackSteel won't be under their control and he gets to talk to me. I've also heard that they are indestructible. The only thing that could shatter the gem is a really powerful spell," Shrimp says.

"Oh ok," Lucy says.

I yawn and close my eyes as I fall asleep.
