Lucy, Erza and Yukino were on vacation that was on a beach in a different country called Maestus. They were staying in a private beach house at Pravux.

All three girls were enjoying themselves but mostly Erza and Lucy.

Erza and Lucy were a couple while Yukino was the only single one of the group but Yukino didn't let that be a problem.

In Maestus, there weren't many locals but the view was amazing. It was paradise as if there was nothing to be worried about.

When they first arrived one of the locals had informed them that since they were tourist to stay indoors when the sun goes down but they didn't say the reason why.

For the first couple of days all three girls had been sightseeing but then Erza told her group that they should go to the Pravux Beach and both girls agreed.

At the Beach

Erza and Lucy were playing in the water while Yukino was sitting on a blanket with their things. She was reading about the Maestus country but she picked up that there was something odd about the Maestus country was popular for paranormal things.

She then put the book down and rushed to the water to join Erza and Lucy as they swam in the water.

Just then the lifeguard began to yell out to everyone who was in the water.

"UT AB AQUA!"

The locals on the beach began to see the problem as well and they took off running.

Yukino, Erza and Lucy wondered what was going on soon all three saw that there was a wave forming rather from afar then Yukino, Erza and Lucy swam out further to ride the way.

Erza called back.

"When the wave is done, try to stay close."

All three were pulled into the large tidal wave then were pushed deep into the water.

For Yukino she was the only one who had goggles on so she didn't have to worry too much about water getting into her eyes.

As she was underwater she saw that seabed was rather far down but then she looked around to see that Erza and Lucy weren't in sight then she swam toward the surface.

When she got her head out of the water she was surprised to see that the sky looked like a storm was going to come then she began make her way back to the beach.

As Yukino was on her way to the beach she had felt something grab her and pulled her down under the water.

Yukino looked down to see that something had swam past her but she quickly went back to swimming to safety.

When she got to the beach Erza and Lucy went to her. Lucy then was surprised when she had looked down at Yukino's leg only to see that it was bleeding.

"Yukino, are you alright? You're bleeding."

Yukino looked at her leg then Erza checked it.

"It was from the force of the wave. Come on, let's hurry back to the house."

Lucy helped Yukino walk while Erza carried their things.

When they got to the house Yukino layed on the couch while Lucy tended to her leg wound.

"Something must have bitten you, it looks like a bite but not from a shark."

Yukino looked away.

"I saw a glimpse of what it was but it swam too fast under the water for me to see it."

Later on that evening Yukino couldn't help but wonder what to think about what it was that bit her but all she hoped for is that the bite wouldn't get infected. Indeed she was lucky that it wasn't a shark but at the same time it was still in man-eating waters.

Elsewhere

There was a figure that was sitting on a bench part next to large window of a large bedroom. The figure was looking at their hand that had some blood on it.

"That human girl's blood smells lovely…."

"Minerva, have you done what I have asked you?"

The figure called Minerva closed her hand and closed her eyes.

"Yes Father. There are a lot of humans visiting the beach this year."

"In that case, you will be joining the others for this hunting season. Do not disappoint me."

Minerva nodded then her father left.

Minerva looked at her blood covered hand then she licked the blood clean off her hand then smiled.

"Such lovely blood, as long as she doesn't get back into the water she'll be fine."

Minerva then looked out at the distance of the water.

"This will be fun, the hunting of humans."
