Okay, I know that I should be working on Returns but I suddenly had and idea when I was reading one of the Vampire Academy series. The vampires in that book can control different elements, like fire and water. This got me thinking about fire weilders and that got me thinking about Fairy Tail. I haven't seen any vampire fics in Fairy Tail before, and thought, 'Well this idea isn't going away any time soon, might as well write it down.' So that's what I did.
I wasn't sure if I was going to post it, but decided to because I would love to hear what everyone thinks about it. Hope you like it!
-Myst
It was dark, moon-high had long since past. Still Lucy carried on, not sure exactly where she was going. It had been like this for awhile. Wandering around had seemed to become a habit of hers. Though she now regretted her overactive imagination, said imagination having caused her to get lost in the Forbidden Forest. It was forbidden for a reason, she knew, though what that reason was she had no idea.
She sighed, squinting into the darkness around her. Though she didn't know why she bothered, it was long passed the time where she could see anything out here. When the moon had been up she could at least make out shadows. Now even the shadows blurred together making it impossible to distinguish between trees, bushes, and whatever else inhabited this place.
Shuddering at the thought, Lucy quickly tried to push the thought away. It was a futile battle, her imagination-as stated before- always got the best of her. She had always loved reading, though her parents had thought that she spent too much time in their library. She often thought about the different adventures and characters in her books. She would sometimes spend entire days wondering what it would be like to have such a grand adventure.
Mythical creatures had always been one of her favourite things to read about. From vampires to mermaids she was fascinated by the enchanting and mysterious. She was often seen walking with glazed eyes, the cause of at least a few altercations in which she wound up with cuts or bruises. However this time had been different, instead of falling down a short flight of stairs or running into an unfortunately placed flower pot or vase, this time she had walked into the Forbidden Forest (As stated before).
She hadn't been to town for what seemed like ages, her parents didn't often get the free time. Today had been a day she had been looking forward to. Her parents, for once, had set aside time to go shopping in town. Lucy had been ecstatic; she remembered that when she was a child the street performers had been something she couldn't take her eyes away from. For the entire time she had been glued to them not even noticing what was going on around her. Now she wanted to feel that again.
So as soon as she got into the town she immediately went looking for the performers. However, she soon got caught up in thinking about what tricks they might perform. This train of thought led to one of thinking about what kind of things werewolves, if they could behave that is, would perform for her. This one led to what would happen if vampires came to town and challenged them.
And this led her to the aforementioned Forbidden Forest. It was already past dark by the time she came to her senses. She had known right away where she was, how could she not? There was only one forest around her town, and it was the forbidden one. The forest formed a semi circle around the town, leaving the other half to farming and roads leading from the village.
As far as anyone knew, no one had returned from the forest alive in fact no one would return at all. It had fuelled Lucy's day dreams for weeks on end when she was younger. And even now sometimes thoughts of what could be in that forest still fluttered through her mind.
She had almost fainted when she found where she was. She had collapsed to the ground, sitting with her gown pooled around her. Once her heart had calmed down and her hands stopped shaking she decided to try to find her way out. 'Try' being the key word. She had tried to back track, but she found that even after hours of walking she couldn't see any lights from the village. To make matters worse she could barely see anything in front of her, causing her to trip multiple times.
Lucy twirled in a slow circle, trying to find a source of light. Finding none, Lucy shivered with the cold. She was freezing; her thin dress wasn't made to protect her from cold. Tentatively she put her hand out in front of her; maybe she could feel her way out of this place by touch. She whimpered slightly when her fingers hit thorns. Pulling her hand back she tried unsuccessfully to study the amount of damage done.
She was distracted when the forest suddenly went silent, no creature stirring. Then less than a second later the forest came alive, the wind almost knocked her over it was so strong, and the moon suddenly seemed to glow stronger permitting Lucy to see her surroundings better. The sound of the creatures that inhabited the forest could be heard scurrying away from the vicinity she was in. She wondered briefly why, before she got her answer.
From out of the shadows, almost like the figure had been there since the beginning, came a man. Lucy caught her breath; this man was -for lack of a better word- beautiful. The man had a muscled body, if slightly pale in the moonlight. He wore a black long-sleeved shirt, with black pants and shoes. His pink hair provided a startlingly bright contrast to his clothes, and his face looked as if had been sculpted by the Gods.
Lucy blinked quickly several times when she met the God-like strangers' eyes. Her breath caught in her chest, this couldn't be right. He had glowing red eyes that seemed to see and know everything.
"Vampire." Lucy managed in a choked whisper.
The man grinned savagely at her, baring his fangs. She didn't even have time to scream before the vampire pounced, and her world went black.
Okay well theres chapter 1, let me know if you think I should continue or not. Thanks!
