Yes, a new story! My house for hit by lightning and my internet box was fried. I've been using the notes app on my phone to write this story. I guess I wanted to see what you al thought about it, just so I get some sort of opinion before I get too ahead. So you should all feel special! I am using the little but of data I have to publish this story. I did this all for you. Yes you, the one behind the screen.
Story Title: Yes, I named this story after another song. I just think it's really fitting. So check it out if you wish. It's Bleeding Mascara by Atreyu. It is a heavy metal song, so if anything just look up the lyrics.
Chapter Titles: I out the date I update every chapter in the chapter title. If I update on May first, you would see (5-1).
Notices: I have a few notices on my profile that you may want to read. There is one about updating, which I will use again here soon. For now I'm just going to update once a week.
Dislcaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail!
"We're almost there," Sting said. He jumped off the roof and onto the next.
"Pick up the pace!" Lucy yelled, jumping onto the same roof as Sting. Rogue and Kara were a step behind.
"I can smell it!" Kara said, scrunching her nose.
"There it is," Sting said, his lips curling into a smile. He jumped off the roof and into an alley. Lucy landed right beside him. Rogue took his place at the one end of the alley. Kara stayed purched on the roof.
"It's such a shame," Lucy said, stepping towards the wolf-like beast. It was previously eating out of a dumpster, but when it noticed the four, it started growling.
"Its so gross," Kara said, pinching her nose.
"But that's what happens," Lucy said, reaching out to touch the beast. She ruffled the fur on its head. It leaned into her touch. "Failing to drink blood turns you into a monster. It's been suffering for a few months now. I don't think this one would have lived long anyways."
"You take too long," Sting groaned. "Just snap it's head already."
"You've been doing this longer than me," Lucy sighed. She carefully grabbed the beast's neck before roughly snapping it. Blood splattered everywhere. The walls became painted.
"Damn, such a mess," Rogue sighed.
"Now time for our meal," Sting said, licking his lips. His eyes turned blood red.
"You guys have fun," Lucy said. She jumped back on the roof. Sting and Kara knelt down beside the beast, reading to eat it. Rogue followed Lucy on the rooftop.
"Why won't you ever eat?" Rogue asked. He walked over and sat down beside Lucy.
"Kara is just a little kid. She doesn't understand. Sting is just animalistic. Why don't you?" Lucy asked quietly.
"I've been alive for five hundred years, Lucy," Rogue sighed. "Sting's been alive for one hundred. You and Kara have only been like this for two years. When you get so old, beast blood doesn't do anything. You three's blood isn't even that helpful. I have to have human blood. Sting can still have beast blood. You and Kara, you should be eating to become stronger."
"I can't bring myself to do it," Lucy said, hugging her knees. "I have hard enough time killing them. I just always have the thought in the back of my mind. They were all once humans, had families, their whole lives ahead of them. I just can't do it."
"You will die if you don't drink," Rogue said coldly. "And thats a promise."
"Rogue?" Lucy asked, looking up at the stars.
"Hmm?" Rogue hummed, following her gaze.
"Why did you change us?" Lucy asked. "I already heard the story about Sting. He told me. He said that one day he was walking around at night and saw you in an alley, killing a beast. He wasn't afraid of you. He told you he had no family anyways, and asked if you would change him."
Rogue started to laugh. "Don't let him sound all tough. I found a beast attacking him. He was going to become a beast, so I let him drink my blood. That's why he isn't as strong as he should be. He still has beast blood running through his veins. It will take another hundred years for it to filter out," he said. "Anyways, as to why I changed you."
"I remember that night," Lucy said. "Dad hit Kara and she ran out of the house crying. I ran after her. It was nighttime. She ran into an alley. I remember you walking up to us."
"I could see the fear in her eyes," Rogue said. "And it wasn't because of me. I watched her run out of your house too many times to count. I knew that look well. I figured she would want something more with her life: a chance to protect people."
"This isn't for nothing, right?" Lucy asked, looking back at Rogue. She looked into his red eyes. He once told her that his eyes were naturally red. They would glow slightly, though, when he drank blood. "We are helping?"
"After a beast kills five people, they are satisfied for a week. And they can live up to two years. That just shows you his many lives we can save by killing one beast. And if if it would only save one person, isn't that worth it?" Rogue asked. He looked at her chocolate brown eyes. He could see a hint of red in them. He knew she was thirsty.
"I wouldn't be able to bare the thought of leaving my family for nothing," Lucy admitted. Not a day went by that she didn't think about her mother.
"And no matter how long you live, you will never lose the ability to feel. I hoped you two understood that when you joined me," Rogue said.
Lucy leaned closer to Rogue. He put his arms around her and pulled her closer. She lightly grabbed his shoulders. She bit into his neck. She would take his blood over a beast's any day. She could feel her whole body warm as Rogue's warm blood coursed through her body. She had to say that his blood was her favorite. Sting's was pretty good, but nothing close to Rogue's. She wouldn't dare try Kara's.
"Thank you," Lucy said, wiping the blood off her mouth. She watched the skin of Rogue's neck heal almost instantly.
Rogue stood up and extended his hand. She took it and allowed him to help her up. "It's almost been two years since I've changed you," he said. "I think it's about time you went back to school."
"Are we moving again?" Lucy asked. They usually move around a lot. They've been in Hargeon for a while, though.
"We're going to Magnolia," Rogue said. "I have someone working at the hospital there. She can give us blood when we need it."
"I have to go to Fairy Tail?" Lucy asked nervously. "That'a my old school! People know me!"
"We don't have much of a choice here," Rogue sighed. "I've been told that there is a beast problem there. We need to go help out."
"People will recognize me. My family will find out," Lucy said, shaking her head.
"I guess I never told you," Rogus laughed. "I erased their memories when I changed you. I knew you were upset at the time. I didn't want to make you feel worse."
"I guess I knew that," Lucy admitted. She hugged her knees again. "I snuck out the night you changed me. My family was having fun like we were never there."
"That's the sacrifice you have to make," Rogue sighed.
"Are you two ready to go?" Sting asked, jumping on the roof.
The faint sounds of sirens in the distance were getting louder.
"We better get out if here quick," Rogue said. "I'll flash us out."
Everyone linked hands. In an instant, they were gone, the only evidence of them being there the blood splattered on the wall.
I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter. I'm having a lot of fun writing this story. I hope you're having just as much fun reading it!
