Chapter 1 - Bitten

Lucy felt alone and cold in the dark meadows of Tenroujima. She accidentally landed here when the airship of Grimoire Heart exploded. Since it's very late and there's no possible source of light than a small firefly, she kept walking until she reached the trees. She sighed and thank God because she finally reached the places on where to build shelter and have great safety! Or so she thought..

A few members of Fairy Tail, on the other hand, got lost in the whole island as well. The members who got back in the camp decided to send hunting parties during the day so the lost members would be easier to find. However, they rescued only Wendy, and left Lucy behind, forgotten. And she is not aware of it.

The poor girl wandered off to the forest and found herself in a small cave. She quickly gathered the sticks outside and made fire. She's too weak to call any spirit, even if they wanted to appear by themselves, she'll eventually die if they just appear. Lucy stretched her hands to the fire and made herself comfortable. Her stomach grumbled, but she ignored it since she's very sure that she could eat in the morning. She also patched up her bleeding wound near her wrist with a small fabric she ripped from her clothes.

A few moments later, Lucy fell asleep on a patch of leaves she made as her bed. Little did she know that there's a man watching her every move. His name is Zeref, and he is still on this island. He never left, he just somehow felt that he's hungry for a kill once more. Just one last kill, and he would be satisfied. Zeref entered the cave, being the drooling predator he is, gaping hungrily at his prey, which is Lucy. He licked his sharp fangs that slid down his gums, he could hear her heartbeat loud and clear. Her blood flowing in her veins and he knew she was the perfect meal! Yes, very perfect, indeed.

Zeref sniffed the air, he smelled blood, too, and for him it smelled delicious. He couldn't wait any longer! He lingered around her, carefully not making any sound. He reached for her neck and removed the few strands of blonde hair that covered it. He licked Lucy's flawless neck slowly and started thrusting his fangs into it. Lucy suddenly flinched and woke up to the pain as Zeref sucked her sweet blood.

Unfortunately for her, she's strangled up in Zeref's cold arms, she couldn't move! She struggled to get free and squirmed, but to no avail, Zeref already sucked in much blood from her. But seeing on how beautiful she was, Zeref stopped and pulled his fangs out. His face is covered in the thick red liquid and his eyes were like the blood.

Lucy backed away a little, her left hand covering her neck where she was bitten, and she could feel more blood coming out of it. She started crying, but Zeref just stood there. A malicious grin crept up his face but he eventually disappeared into the darkness.

She panted weakly and her movement is shaky. Lucy went to deep slumber, crying for the pain is irresistable. She had to patch it up with something, but somehow, her hands were paralyzed after. She breathed heavily while in her sleep, and groaned a lot of times. She was...Bitten.

Zeref licked the blood off his hands and wiped his face with his now-bloody sash. He rubbed his temple, feeling bad about himself for nearly killing the poor innocent woman. He couldn't forgive himself for that! But that's not what he's really worried about. He was a pure blooded vampire, and a person with magic power, specifically a mage, would turn right into one within 3 hours after a bite from one. Zeref passed his misery once again to a Fairy Tail mage he never saw before, but he is quite interested in her.

Now all he needed to do is watch the girl, for he is the only one who could stop her. Yes, Zeref can be any kind of monster you want him to be. After all, he created all the evil demons and monsters. And he is somehow the King of Vampires, too, since he's the very first vampire, and he added another one to his filthy race. What more could he do now but wait for 3 hours and tell the girl everything?

He sighed and gritted his teeth. "What have I done this time?! I can't do anything much good to this world anymore! I want to die but this world will keep on searching for my magic! Those selfish humans...It's their fault I had to create much monsters and put the humans in jeopardy. I...I don't know!" he babbled to himself.

Three hours had passed, and he thought that it's time for him to pay his 'new descendant' a visit. He promised to explain everything to Fairy Tail, apologize and end his uninteresting life. He pushed his back up and stood, still licking his lips. He enjoyed drinking her blood, and it no blood has ever tasted that good. He followed the scent of her blood from his stained sash and ended up in the same cave three hours ago. He laughed mentally at himself since he just forgot his way back again.

Zeref's red eyes darted down at the sleeping Lucy. He walked forwards her, felt her temperature and grinned a creepy one. Lucy's skin is now whiter than before, and it felt like cold as ice. As she snored, her new fangs glimmered. Zeref also noticed how deep his bite was on Lucy's neck, since her two bite marks are still fresh from the way you look at a new wound.

Right now, he couldn't wait to see her eyes open, they must be as red as her own blood. Before Zeref could even wake her up, he felt another human close by. He could hear the person's breathing, pulse and the flow of blood throughout his body. Zeref felt hungry again, but controlled himself. It's still no use, he just found himself and a now-pinned down raven-haired ice mage.

Out of realization, he extended his fangs and thrusted in the teen's neck. The poor mage struggled and tried getting off Zeref's tight grip. Unfortunately, Zeref already stopped drinking, shocking the mage. Eventually, the person fainted, but is still alive.

It's quite a relief to him, since he's still alive. Zeref left his victim there and went back to the cave where Lucy is. And now he heard some yawning from the blonde woman, starting him a little. He stepped backwards and sat at a rock near Lucy's patch of leaves.

Lucy rubbed her eyes, and they opened. Zeref looked closely, and was very impressed to see such red eyes. They were shining brightly by the moonlight. Just a few hours more, and the night will soon end, a sad time for Zeref. Lucy looked at her side, shocked to see the almighty Zeref sitting beside her. But somehow she felt different. She could clearly hear everything, even the slightest movement. Her sight became so keen, that she can see ants from a meter away from her. She also felt cold inside, but she thought it's funny and thought of Gray.

Still, Zeref's gaze remained on Lucy, who seemed calmer than her reaction hours ago. Zeref felt a little tension between the them. Silence filled the air. Lucy remembered what happened before she went asleep again and reached for her neck. She groaned painfully when she felt some bite marks on her neck and as her hands swept over them. Zeref looked worried.

"Are you okay? I wanted to say sorry.." Zeref started saying, avoiding Lucy's fascinating eyes.

Lucy looked at him. "Kind of. I mean, I feel weird. Like I feel stronger than before or something, and my senses became extremely better than before...Yet there's a pain on my neck.." she said, staring at him. "My name is Lucy and by the way, who are you? You look like someone I met before, sir. Plus I don't think you have done anything wrong to me, so there's no need to apologize for nothing" Lucy added in a polite manner.

Zeref looked rather troubled. He's not sure if he should tell her
his real name or not. He might scare her and wouldn't have the time to explain everything. "Listen, my name is Zeref...And don't go away, just yet, give me some chance to explain!" he said quickly before Lucy could even react.

Lucy almost jumped out of her leaf patch. She knew Zeref, and she almost died! She quivered in fear, backing away a little, defending herself with her two pale hands. "P-please don't h-hurt me, Z-zeref! I didn't mean to be t-trespassing y-your c-cave!" she said in a shaky voice.

Zeref frowned, he knew this would happen. He always did. People always had the right impression if he said his name to anyone. Not that he scared lots of people by introducing himself, just mentioning his name by anyone would be really scary. He's legend, in a very negative way. In fact, he never even knew where he got the most dangerous magic of all time. And right now, he's being hunted by a lot of scheming mages, but they will all fail sooner or later.

"I won't hurt you, and I would never. But I did, exactly three hours ago. And I wanted to be forgiven by thee, because, I turned you into something you will never like. But do not worry, I would provide you care and concern for a year"

Ending Notes: Oh yes I forgot that the anime 'Vampire Knight' inspired me to write this. Also, I thought it would be cool if I write about vampires, you know?

Many people like the supernatural...

No pairings for Lucy...YET

So please stay calm, I'll set up a poll someday.
