A new one shot when I should be working on other stuff? Why not!

I literary pulled this out of no where. I didn't have a plan, I only had a very non-detailed outline for this, but, here it is! I was sleep deprived and had a stuffy head as I was writing this so if something doesn't make all that much sense.. I'm sorry.

This was originally an ask on tumblr, but I've decided to turn it into a small multi-chap fic. Not sure how long yet, but I'm really pleased with it :)

Fairy Tail and it's characters belong to Hiro Mashima.


Lucy flipped through her history text book on the way to school. The world she lived in was much different than what she read. Vampires, Werewolves, and other mythical creatures were just that: mythical, a fantasy.

In Lucy's world, these creatures were her life. Her best friends. Her family. Her. Lucy was a Vampire. Her friends were all types of creatures; Levy was a pixie and Juvia was half-mermaid.

The bus came to a stop in front of Magnolia University. It was the first day of college. Her dream of becoming a writer was just within her grasp.

Grinning, Lucy skipped off the bus and stood in front of the legendary school. MU was the oldest school in Fiore and they had the most prestigious literary arts program in the world.

"This is it. I'll make it here. I'll get my degree, I'll publish my book, I'll prove to the world that I'm not just a dumb heiress-!"

"Sorry!" a short blonde woman ran smack into Lucy's back.

"Oh no, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been standing there," Lucy helped her pick up her scattered books. Taking a close look at the woman, she saw translucent wings behind her ears. A fairy, one of the rarer types of creatures.

"Oh wow," Lucy had only met one other fairy before, her friend Erza was a descendant of the first Titania, queen of the fairies.

"Yes?"

"Sorry! I didn't mean to stare!"

"It's no problem," she smiled brightly, the wings behind her ears collected sunlight and shone to make her smile even brighter, "I'm used to it."

Lucy felt somewhat better, Erza had said almost the same thing when they met, "I'm Lucy."

"My name is Mavis, nice to meet you," the small blonde held out her hand, "I believe you are a type 2 vampire?"

Lucy took her hand in shock, it was almost impossible for anyone to tell that right away, "that's right."

Vampires have two different types. Type 1 are vampires that can survive on any type of blood. It takes about 4 days for them to need to feed again. A type 2 vampire however, does not need to feed more than once a month. But there is a catch, a type 2 vampire can only feed from someone they are extremely close to. For the last few years Lucy had taken blood from her friends. But that list was slowly dying down because most were in relationships.

The only way to tell the difference between the two was the length of their fangs. Type 2 vampires had slightly longer fangs that Type 1.

"You can tell?" Lucy covered her mouth, she had always been self conscious of her long fangs.

"Yes, but I see things others can't," Mavis placed all her books in her bag and secured it this time.

"I see," she was about to ask if that was a Fairy ability when she heard her name.

"Lucy! Over here!"

"Coming!" Lucy waved at Levy before turning back to Mavis, "It was nice to meet you, Mavis."

"You too!" Mavis turned around to leave, before jerking back to say, "Oh! You should come to our start of the year party tonight!" she ran over with a pen and wrote a number on her hand, "Text me later and I'll give you the details, your friends can come too! It's a way for new students to make new friends, my boyfriend wanted to host it because his little brother is starting this year too! Hope you can come!"

Mavis ran off, and for the first time Lucy noticed she was barefoot, "Must be a fairy thing, Erza loves going barefoot.."

"Lu!" Levy threw her small arms around Lucy, making the blonde laugh.

"Levy! I missed you so much!" Levy had spent the summer at a Pixie camp as a counselor, she had left the day after high school graduation. Lucy had been so lonely all summer, all their other friends had spent the summer with family.

"I missed you too!" Levy jumped up and down, "I'm so excited to be here! We're going to have the best years of out lives! And the teachers here are so amazing! I've already met a few people who'll be in my classes and I'm so ready to start learning all these languages- what's that?"

Levy was pointing to the writing on her hand, "Did you meet a boy? I told you college would be a good place to meet someone! Maybe he can be your one and only person to drink from!"

"LEVY! Calm down! No, it wasn't a guy," she laughed when Levy pouted, "It was that girl I was talking about. She invited us to a party tonight, just a place for freshman to meet people."

"Sounds like fun, we can bring Juvia along. If she has legs that is."

Juvia was only half mermaid, so she had a few nights a month where she would not have a choice if she had legs or a tail. The moon cycle is what controlled her transformations.

"Of course," Lucy and Levy began to walk up the stairs to the auditorium for the entrance ceremony.

The room was filled to the brim, Levy was stuck in between Lucy and a large brute of a man. He was covered in piercings and tattoos, his hair was pulled back in a ponytail.

"Great," Levy whispered, Lucy snorted as she text Juvia where they were sitting.

"Lucy! Levy!" Juvia almost tripped into the isle, her half-mermaid side made her legs unbelievably clumsy.

"Juvia!" Lucy stood and embraced the mermaid, "I missed you!"

"Juvia missed you too! *GASP* GAJEEL!" Juvia pushed Lucy aside and forced her way passed Levy and hugged the brute.

"WHA- Water woman?!" the man now known as Gajeel sputtered as Juvia threw herself on him.

"She gets weirder and weirder every year," Levy giggled, Lucy had to contain her laugh as Levy checked out the brute. It seemed that he was dragon, his tattoos covered scales. The Pixie was known to like the more dangerous males.

"A-HEM!" The auditorium was alerted to a loud noise by a tiny dwarf on the stage. Levy made Lucy scoot down because Juvia took her seat.

"Welcome to Magnolia University, I am Dean Makarov Dreyar.." he started to talk about the school conduct and rules, but Lucy zoned out as she watched the people around her.

Being a Vampire allowed Lucy to have an excellent sense of smell. She loved to guess what kind of creature someone was. The woman next to her was part Thunderbird, little wind storms happened every time she raised her arms.

The man in front of her was a Minotaur, and it didn't take a sensitive nose to figure that out.

The meeting only lasted an hour, and after that Lucy and Levy had to wait on Juvia catch up with her childhood friend.

"Juvia wants you to meet her friends!" Juvia dragged the reluctant dragon over to them, "This is Lucy Heartfilia and Levy McGarden! Juvia met them in high school and we've been best friends ever since! This is Gajeel Redfox! We grew up in the same neighborhood but he went to a Dragon school in the mountains! Juvia is so happy to see him again!"

Gajeel snorted, nodding to the Vampire and Pixie.

"It's nice to meet you, Juvia has told us about you before," Lucy gripped her purse, a little nervous about this dragon.

"It's- It's very nice to meet you!" Levy may be a Pixie, but she totally failed in the mischief department.

"Sure."

"Oh! Lucy was invited to a party tonight! You should come! Juvia would love to see you more!"

"I ain't the party kind of Dragon."

"Oh please come!" Levy jumped in, "It's for us freshman to meet new people!"

"I don't know.."

"You talking about Dragneel's party? I'm going, you should think about it man," a new comer patted Gajeel on the back and winked at Lucy.

"Oh. Great. A Nemean Lion," Lucy had back luck with these creatures. They all thought they were God's gift to women. This one looked especially arrogant.

"Dragneel? Oh yeah, I was already going there. Roommates brother is throwing it."

"His roommate is the little brother to Mavis' boyfriend. I wonder why he wants to throw a party just for him to meet people."

"Juvia thinks it's a great idea! We can all go together!" Juvia was so excited that her knees turned to water, literally.

"Juvia!" Levy tried to catch her, but needed help from Gajeel. The two accidentally touched hands, and Levy felt a spark.

"If you're going to be there, I'll definitely go with you," the lion man picked up her hand and kissed it.

"Oh. Thanks," Lucy cringed.

"I'm Loke, I can't wait to know more about you princess," he winked and kissed her hand again, "see you tonight."

Lucy shivered the creepy feeling away as she watched Levy and Gajeel have a moment as Juvia talked and talked.

"Good for her, I'm glad she found someone. Now I need to find someone, Levy won't be around for me to feed on. I can't feed on Juvia, she has too much water in her blood. Erza went to that school in Crocus, I can't take a road trip every month.."

She took out her phone and put Mavis' number in before she accidentally washed it away. She quickly sent her a text letting her know it was Lucy and that she and her friends would be coming.

Not 5 minutes later, she got a text back from her.

Mavis: Great! I'll let Zeref know! I'm so glad you're going to come! It starts at 8, and dress casually! No alcohol for minors! We'll be serving chips and stuff so don't eat beforehand!

She sent another text with the address. Lucy was smiling down at her phone as she and Mavis talked a little bit, she missed someone down at the bottom of the stairs taking pictures of her.

He put his camera down to look at what he had taken. The blonde was beautiful, but he was more than positive she'd never talk to someone like him. Pink hair, sharp fangs, pointy ears, and an odd obsession with bouncy balls. She had to be a Siren or a Nymph, way too beautiful for someone of his kind.

"Natsu! Do you know how creepy it is to take pictures of strangers?" his friend Gray yelled at him. Gray was a one-of-a-kind creature. His father was a Yeti and mother a Will-o'-the-Wisps. He didn't have a kind, but his body was more like a Will-o'-the-wisps but instead of flame-like, he was an ice-type.

"It is not," he took one last look at the blonde, "is it?"

"So creepy," Gray looked up and took a second glance at the tall blue haired one, "we need to go, first class starts soon."

"Sure," Natsu took another quick candid shot of her, she was laughing. That smile could light up the world. Following Gray, he smiled at the picture. Hopefully the sun he captured would make him feel better when the moon was out.


About 7:45 that night, Lucy met Levy at her and Juvia's dorm. Lucy's roommate Cana had already left for the party, with a bottle of booze since they wouldn't serve to minors.

"Juvia you look great!" Lucy was so jealous of Juvia's mile long legs, she was wearing a skirt down the floor and a crop top.

"Thank you, Lucy! So do you!" Lucy was wearing some lace shorts and a button up tied into a knot over her belly button.

"Thanks," Lucy ran her fingers through her hair that she had down for once.

"I'm ready! Let's go!" Levy came out of the bathroom in a short green dress, truly showing off her pixie side.

"Is Levy hoping to impress someone tonight?" Juvia inquired, "A dragon perhaps?"

"What?! NO!"

"Sure," Juvia smirked. Lucy giggled as they walked out of the apartment.

They met Gajeel in front of the house the party was at. He was dressed nicely, and he couldn't take his eyes off Levy.

"I sense a mat~ch," Juvia sang, a match is what most people called attraction between two different types of creatures.

"I think so, let's leave them alone," Lucy grabbed Juvia's hand and dragged her inside.

"Wow!" The three story house had been transformed into a student haven.

"This is amazing!" Lucy spoke too soon when a certain long haired lion came up to her.

"Hello, darling," he bowed to her, taking her hand, "I'm so glad the planets aligned so that I could meet such a beautiful star."

"Great. Such a cute face, why does it have to spout out such pick up lines?"

"How about we get some drinks and get cozy?"

"Oh, well I'm actually here with my friend.." Lucy turned around and Juvia was gone. Taking a frantic look around she saw that Juvia was talking to a dark haired guy who looked like she was a little too close.

"It seems like you're mine for the evening," Loke took her hand and spun her so she was under his arm as he brought her to the drink table.

"No, really. I really don't-"

"Try this, sorry no alcohol. Mavis is strict. But this punch is amazing, Zeref is studying to be a chef and I for one will be going to whatever restaurant he'll be at," he handed her some kind of peach drink, obviously not noticing her attempts to get away.

"I'm not thirsty, but thanks," she sat the drink down on the table, turning around to get away but he pulled her into his chest, "I love this song, wanna dance?"

"Um, no," pulling away only to be brought back by a strong grip, "woah, OK."

"Where are you going, princess?"

"She's trying to get away from you, kitty," a man stood behind Loke wearing a beanie and glasses. Lucy could see pink hair under his beanie. His glasses looked a little big for his face, and why was he wearing tinted glasses in the house at night?

"Yo, Dragneel. She is probably just trying to find a good spot for us to dance, right beautiful?"

"No," she felt that Loke could smell her fear, "I actually want to find my friend."

"See? Scram kitty cat," the new boy pushed aside Loke and got in between the two of them.

Loke raised an eyebrow, then smiled, "Sure. There is a girl in my Physics class that is super cute and super into me, later."

Loke took off after an adorable pink haired girl in a white summer dress.

"Thank you," she smiled to this stranger, trying to get a good look at his face.

"No problem," he scratched his neck, refusing to look at her.

"I'm Lucy," she tried again at conversation, because if she heard right than this was Gajeel's roommate that the party was for.

"Natsu."

"It's nice to meet you," he was staring at the floor with his hands in his pockets, "What's your major?"

"Photography."

"One word answers. Come on Lucy, think!"

"That sounds really interesting, would you like to find a place to sit so we can talk?"

For a moment she saw his shoulders rise and his lip twitch, like he was holding back a smile, "Um, I don't know.. uh.."

"Come on," she took his hand in hers and tugged him along until they were on a swing in the backyard.

"This place is so nice," the backyard was covered in flowers and had a large cherry tree that would be gorgeous in spring time.

"It's my brothers place."

"It's amazing," she put one leg under her so she could face him, "so tell me all about photography."

He wiped his face down, as if removing sweat. Lucy could see now that he had claws, not very sharp ones, but those nails could defiantly put hers to shame.

"Uh, I just like taking pictures. Especially random shots of people when they aren't looking."

"That's great, it'll be great to do something that you love," she beamed at him, and it finally got a smile out of him.

"What's your major?"

"Journalism. I love to write. I really want to write my own novel some day," she started to tell him what her novel would be about.

"I like it," he looked right at her, "humans who can do magic. That sounds like a really cool place to live."

"Thanks," thanks to him wearing glasses she couldn't tell much about his eyes. And even with her heightened smell, she couldn't figure him out. It was like he drowned himself in cologne.

"I hope you don't find me rude to ask, and you don't have to tell me if you don't want," she knew a lot of people came straight out with it, but some were pretty secretive, "but, what kind of creature are you?"

He turned his head away, clenching his jaw. He was shaking his head, "I'd rather not."

"Oh, OK," she was going to tell him she was a vampire when he stood, "What's wrong?"

"Um, I gotta go."

"Wait, Natsu?" he pulled the beanie down even farther on his head and ran back in the house.

She sat there for a few minutes wondering what happened. Finally going back inside she found Levy and Gajeel on a love seat, she was practically in his lap, and grinning like idiots. Juvia was still with the dark haired boy, but he looked like he didn't mind her closeness now.

"Lucy!"

"Oh, hi Mavis."

"I'm glad you came, Zeref come over here!"

A tall, dark, and handsome man came from her call. He had dark hair and pale skin, pointed ears that had turned a little furry on the underside, his eyes were a bright gold.

"A Werewolf."

"Hello, Mavis told me about you. Sorry, she likes to bombard people she just meets," he grinned softly as the fairy pouted.

"It's OK, it's a great party. Your house is absolutely beautiful."

"Thank you."

The three stood in awkward silence, watching the people around them. Zeref finally took a sniff of the air, "Looks like he's already gone."

"He is? I thought this would help.." Mavis smiled sadly.

"Who?" she then thought better of it, "Oh, sorry. I shouldn't intrude."

"No, it's alright. My little brother, he's a little shy. We were hoping that a party with new people, and with most sober, he would open up more. But unfortunately old wounds don't heal that quickly."

"Natsu is his younger brother. He was awfully shy, I wonder why.." he was so kind to save her from Loke. And he was a hot piece of ass, the journalist in her was itching for the story.

"Maybe he'll come around as the school year gets going, honey," Mavis cheered.

"Hopefully," Zeref wrapped an arm around her and smiled to Lucy.

She smiled back, she hoped so too. She was actually really interested in him. Which was odd and scary at the same time. Odd because she knew next to nothing about him. Scary because a Vampire latching onto someone quickly was the sign of him being someone she would be close to in the near future. She normally hated that feeling, but this time she was happy.

On the third floor, Natsu sat on the balcony rail looking up at the half moon. With his hat and glasses gone you could see his gold eyes and furry ears.

He sighed and looked down at the people in the backyard, frowning when Lucy wasn't there anymore. He would have loved to get some night shots of her.

He took out his laptop and started to edit his pictures. When he got to the pictures of Lucy he cropped them, but he couldn't edit them. They were perfect. Natsu ran his clawed fingers through his hair, he was such a fool.

"Why did I even go downstairs.. Just stay off to the side. No one will bother you.. again."

Lucy stayed at the party for a while and met some really interesting people in her field, but left not long later. Once home she was completely inspired to write some of her novel, but her thoughts were continued to be interrupted by Natsu.

"I really.. hope I get another chance to talk to Natsu," she went to bed that night with that wish in heart.


The next day Lucy ran to the bus stop, she had overslept.

"No, NO!" the bus took off right before she got there, "Ughh."

Lucy groaned. Second day and she was going to be super late to her first class. She started to walk the way to school, which was only a 10 minute drive. But walking would take her a while.

Two blocks down and a red Jeep stopped next to her. At first she was scared, but when the window rolled down she saw a pink haired boy with a ball cap on backwards.

"Need a ride?"

"Really?" she hugged her purse to her chest.

"Yeah," Natsu grinned a big smile, surprising Lucy, "hop in."

When Lucy got in the car, she took a good look at him. His claws were gone and his ears were pointed, but they weren't furry like she was sure they were last night.

"Sorry about last night," he began, "I'm not.. real comfortable around new people."

She smiled, "but you'll give me a ride?"

His cheeks pinked a little, "Well... I don't want you to miss a chance to go to class. You seem to really like it."

"Well, thanks. I appreciate it. I was up late writing my novel and I was just so distracted and I slept in, but I got to the part where the newest wizard was kidnapped by this other guild.." she kept going on about everything she wrote about and Natsu took it all in. She was so excited and happy that it made the sun shine in her eyes.

"Thank you for the ride," Lucy told him as they got out of the car.

"No problem," he scratched his nose, and Lucy was happy to see his eyes this time. A pretty emerald color.

"Well, I'll see you later!" Lucy was about to take off for her class when a hand on her elbow stopped her. Turning around she saw Natsu quickly take his hand away, "Yes?"

"Um, well uh.." his eyes were wide and he looked scared but determined, "I was wondering.. um, would you like to.. to go out to a movie.. or something? If you want.."

He was blushing and wiping his hands on his pants. He refused to look at her as he waited for her to answer, and he was sure she would decline.

"I would love to," smiling at the nervous boy, Lucy was happy he was stepping out of his comfort zone according to his brother.

He stood still for a moment, before looking up at her face, "You.. You will?"

"Yeah, why not?"

"I just.." he laughed a little bit and removed his hat to scratch his head, "I'm glad. Uh, yeah. So um, I'll need your number..?"

"Sure!" Lucy got her phone out and opened it for him to put his number in, asking the same for his.

After the exchange of numbers, Lucy was really desperate to get to class, but when her hand touched his she felt a spark.

A.. match?

Natsu had obviously felt it as well. A grin grew on his face, but he tried to hide it.

"Well, uh," he put his phone back in his pocket, "I'll text you later ok?"

"Sure, I'll be waiting," Lucy was in a daze as she walked to class. The match wasn't something she was expecting, what she also wasn't expecting was the sudden flood of blood thirst she was getting. A type 2 vampire didn't feel blood thirst often, but when they did it was hard to ignore. And right now Lucy desperately needed to ignore it.

Natsu went to class with a skip in his step for once. He told Zeref he would try new things this year, and he had just done one thing he was really happy with. Although, the match was unexpected it wasn't a bad thing. Another unexpected twist had to be that she was a vampire..

He looked up to the sun, smiling just as a bright, "She's beautiful, and she's my match. What could really go wrong?"


Hm. I wonder what could go wrong? And what happened to Natsu? Where is our adorkable brave Natsu? Why does Lucy desperately need to ignore her thirst? You'll just have to wait and see!

I had to make up a lot of this as I went, but I didn't make up the creatures. So here's a little key to clear some things up:

Lucy: Vampire - Legend's most charming bloodsucker (I hope the types didn't confuse you..)

Mavis, Erza: Fairy - A small, flying humanoid with magical abilities

Levy: Pixie - A small humanoid creature with pointy ears who likes to cause mischief

Juvia: Mermaid - Sea creatures with the head and torso of a woman and the tail of a fish

Gajeel: Dragon - Giant, flying, fire-breathing lizards who often guard treasure.

Loke: Nemean Lion - The giant lion with impenetrable hide who becomes the constellation Leo.

Gray: Yeti and Will-o'-the-Wisp mix - Yeti: snow monster WOTW: Strange flame-like lights that seem to beckon travelers to follow.

Zeref, Natsu: Werewolf - human by day, wolf by night

Also, the match is something I came up with. Kind of like a soul mate, but much deeper. I'll go into that later. I really hope you enjoyed this! Tell me what you think and how (or if) I should keep going!

4/19: had to go an edit who Type 2 Vampires drank from. Oops!
