Vampire's Promise
Ok so my first multi-chapter story. (Second story overall.) Tell me what you think! Constructive criteria and ideas always welcome! Sorry it's so short; the next chapter will be longer.
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters!
On to the story...
Chapter : The Beginning of the End.
No one's pov
It was a typical day at Fairytail. Tables were flying, people were getting punched, Cana was drunk, Natsu and Gray were fighting, Elfman was yelling about being a man, and the 3 new members formally known as Crime Sorcire who were also free of any charges now thanks to their service in defeating dark guilds( Jellal, Ultear, and Meredy) were just watching and shaking their heads. That was until the Master slammed open his door.
Erza's pov
I looked up in shock as the Master called everyone into a meeting while holding what looked like a job request. What shocked me was that he was shaking and sweating. He looked terrified.
"My children, I have grave news from the council. A series of murders have occurred in many cities throughout Fiore. Each victim was found with two puncture wounds in their neck and all of their blood gone. The council has concluded that it was done by a group of vampires." He paused to let it sink in. I was shocked. I didn't think vampires existed. Weren't they a myth? I wasn't the only one surprised. People were freaking out. Lucy and Wendy looked like they were about to pass out, Natsu was speechless for once, and I heard someone whimper.
The Master held up his hand to silence everyone.
" I know many of you are skeptical but vampires do exist. They were written off as legend so people would not panic. We will not be working alone. Lamina Scale, Blue Pegasus, the Fiore army, and the Magic Council with their Rune Knights shall help us. Each guild will send a team. You may refuse or volunteer. I decided on Natsu, Erza, Gray, Laxus, Lucy, Jellal, Ultear, Meredy, Elfman, Gajeel, Mirajane, and Wendy to help heal injuries. Happy, Charle, and Lily may come as well. Any refusals or volunteers?" The Master explained. Everyone shook their heads in agreement to going and no one volunteered.
"Master, why so many people?" Mira spoke the question on everyone's mind.
"We are facing immortal, superhuman lIke, blood ringing demons. We do not know their numbers but we know there at least 5 of them. I will not lose any of my children." The Master said determinedly.
"Now off to prepare everyone. Pack for 2 weeks, and only bring what you need. Sleep well and meet at the train station at 10 o' clock sharp." With that he returned to his office.
I frowned deeply as I took another bite of my delicious strawberry cake. Was it just me or did Master look at me pointedly when he said to pack lightly. I got up, thanked Mira for the cake, and went home.
This mission was going to be dangerous so I decided to clean my strongest armors and weapons. I packed all I needed into one suitcase for once. I didn't need to be weighed down by things I might need. So I packed essentials. Just as I finished a knock on my door startled me. I walked over and opened it.
"Jellal?! You are not supposed to be here! It's the girls dorm. No men allowed!" I told him.
" I know Erza but I wanted to ask you to be careful on this mission. I know I can't convince you to not go so just promise me you will be careful and stay as safe as possible." He said seriously. I blushed at how concerned he was for me.
"Only if you do the same."I told him sternly. He smiled and my blush deepened. I was glad the light in the hall was dim so he couldn't see it.
" I will Erza. Goodnight." Jellal responding brought me back to reality.
"Goodnight." I responded and closed the door. I requipped into my pajamas and dove into bed. Tomorrow was going to be rough. I fell asleep and bad nightmares of Jellal with red eyes and sharp fangs slaughtering the Rune Knights. I hoped it was just a dream and not a glimpse of the future.
So how was it? Should I continue? Reviews make me happy! ;)
