      Chapter 3
   Monster in the sewers
Levy woke up not knowing where she was, with a painful headache. What she did not see was that she was in a huge underground lab, tubes filled with unknown liquids filled the room. She was still afraid so her senses were clouded up. If she could see,(or sense) she would of saw the large tail wrapped around her in a circle. Attempting to run away she ran as fast as she could, tripping over the long tail. Levy gasped as something wrapped around her waist, slowly pulling her up into the air. She closed her eyes and tried to concentrate. She sensed a large figure in front of her, holding her up with its tail. She slightly whimpered and tried to open her eyes. A gust of breath blew into her face, it had a revolting and disgusting stench to it. Loud tapping could be heard from below her, she guessed that the tapping came from the monsters large claws. She could feel its piercing eyes burning into her like bullets. She tried to speak, getting a mouthful of it's disgusting breath.
"D-Don't...hurt me..." She was very surprised when it answered her with its deep voice.
"What are you?" From its voice she guessed that it was a male, she didn't sense and anger or threat in its voice so she spoke back.
"I...I'm a human..." 
"I've never seen one of your kind before." She was a bit confused, how could he of not seen a human before when they were in a city. 
"How could you of not seen a human before? I mean we are below a city."
"I've been in these sewers for twelve years!" She cringed at his slightly harsh reply, his tail slightly tightened around her gut making her squirm in pain. 
"Please don't hurt me...."
"I won't." She gasped as the tail slowly lowered and released her. She also sensed a bit of kindness in his voice, almost gentle or nice. Seeing that he wouldn't hurt her, she looked up at him.
"Do you have a name?"
"Yes, my name is Crookedjob." She could hear the large tail behind him swaying slightly, but then again if you haven't seen anyone in twelve years then you'd be pretty happy too.
"Well my name Leveliantey, but you can call me Levy or Levi." She flinched as his tail brushed against her back, she felt him looking at her eyes. He gasped softly.
"A-Are you-?"
"Yes....I'm blind. But don't think I don't know anything! I'm very good at sensing things so I can tell if you do something. I can tell that you have feathers on your tail, you have raptor like claws and you're a robot." He had to admit, he was just a little bit surprised. The large animal like mech lowered himself down into all fours and sniffed her. 
"You smell...familiar..." Levy tilted her head.
"If you've never seen a human before, how could I seem familiar." She sensed the feathers on his tail and back turn stiff. 
"I mean you smell like someone I think I might know...who have you been around?" He said sitting down on his knees.
"Well I've been around my friends Nighta and Holly. Oh and I've also been around Nighta's friend, Swindle." Levy didn't know it but just by mentioning Swindle's name, was a bad move. A low growl erupted from the lizard like mechs throat and he flexed his claws. Levy slightly backed up, her misty blue eyes widened in fear.
"Wh-What did I say?" Crookedjob looked at her  most of the aggressive temper gone. He sighed.
"How much do you know about Swindle?" 
"Not as much as Nighta, she lives with him." Crookedjob narrowed his eyes and said with a bit of cunningness in his voice,
"You wouldn't mind bringing Nighta here, would you?" Sensing the slyness in his voice, Levy cocked her eyebrow.
"Why?" 
"Because I might wanna meet this...human. And her 'mech'." He said with a bit of bitterness and challenge in his voice. He looked back down at the blind girl.
"In the mean time, why don't you stay while. It can get lonely down here..." The reptilian mech said, his tail swaying behind him. Levy cocked an eyebrow but frowned.
"Wait, where's your family?" She could sense the sadness in the mechs voice.
"None of your business...." She heard him turn around and fiddle around with something, obviously trying to drop the conversation.
"Crook..."
"What?" He said pausing, his tail swaying and a bit of annoyance in his voice.
"Your all alone down here aren't you?"
"....yes...But who can blame anyone who sees me!?" He snapped, turning around and hissing. Levy fell backwards and gasped, trying to get away from him. He lowered onto all fours and began crawling toward her.
"Mind you but I'm hideous! Call it anything! A creature, a demon or a monster! Do you know why I want Swindle down here!?" He growled from above her. Levy was curled up into a ball, trying to shield herself away from the angry hybrid.
"So I can rip him to shreds myself! So I can make him pay for creating me!" Tears were now pouring down Levy's face from fear. She began sobbing softly, silently begging for this to be a nightmare so he could just go away. After seeing the fear in her eyes and the tears, Crook stopped. A sudden guilt ran through his veins. He slowly took her in his hands and frowned.
"No no...don't cry...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell....please don't cry..." He held her gently against his chest. It was a small sweet yet awkward moment of beauty and the beast. After a moment of crying, she slowly calmed down. She 'looked' up at him.
"I-I am sorry...." Crook cocked an eyebrow. 
"For crying?" She blinked.
"Ok maybe that was a stupid question...but um...what do you mean? Why do you hate swindle?" 
"I'll tell you...." 

Crooks kinda a jerk in this one.........
