The second part of my Fairy Tail story, The Blood Dragon Slayer.

Chapter 1

It had been a mouth since Magnolia was almost destroyed by the Blood Dragon known as Sanguis, but was stopped by Alex McLean, a member of Fairy Tail and who was a student and a victim of Sanguis. Once he had defeated him Alex tried to kill himself since he was a user of Sanguis' magic, but Natsu had convinced him against his idea and to become a permanent member of Fairy Tail.

It had now been a month since Alex, who was now 17, had joined Fairy Tail and today was the day he also had to fulfil his monthly vow that he made. In his mind he still believes that he should have died the day he killed Sanguis. So since he allowed himself to live, also failing his goal each month he returns to his returned home and visits the empty graves he made for his parents and brother. He also made sure to tell Team Natsu, who he was now a full member of, and Makarov about his vow so they wouldn't ask him for anything big on each 15th of the month. Yet at this time he was still at the guild, not having left to complete his vow yet. He was sitting at a table listening to Natsu and Grey fighting. Since he joined a month ago he started noticing patterns of how Fairy Tail member acted. Natsu and Gray seemed to fight all or most of the time and Erza had to break it up. Natsu and Grey were also afraid of Erza. Gray had the bad habit of stripping down to his boxers. Another member named Cana seemed like she was always drinking and the most noticeable was how Elfman added the word man at the end of all his sentences. Alex found it a little humorous that within a month he had discovered so many things about the guild members that he didn't notice when he was in the guild before. He noticed that he himself had also changed. He was no longer as cold to the guild members as before, but he still would not hesitate to kill an enemy and he was also more comfortable talking to people. One thing bothered him...he knew he didn't have all his memories back since he found out he was still learning more magic, even after Sanguis was defeated and all his skills should have become known, but he never told anyone about it, figuring it was nothing, but having the feeling there was a bigger memory hidden. Alex checked the time and saw that it was noon.

"I should get going now." Alex muttered standing up and heading for the door.

"Going to complete your vow now?" Makarov asked him sitting at a nearby table.

"My vow will never be complete until I die. I will have to keep doing this until the day I finally die."

"You're serious about this...well it's good to have something to keep you going."

"It's my way of apologizing for not being able to join them right away."

"It's your choice to do this vow, so go ahead. Just be careful there's been an increase in bandits and thieves."

"Bandits and thieves? I'm pretty sure I'm almost as strong as an S-Class Wizard, if they bother me, I'll handle it." Alex walked out.

As Alex headed for the guild towns people noticed him and smiled. He was hailed as a hero for defeating Sanguis, he tried to avoid this by telling them that it was because of him that it attacked but the citizens still believed he was a hero. He personally didn't think that he should be called a hero when it was his fault and he had a title that was made up by the citizens, The Hero Of Magnolia. As he walked through town one of the citizens called him by the title and waved, Alex waved back then sighed.

"One nickname disappears and another takes it's place..." He muttered "I deserved to be called The Vampire...but not a hero..." He got to the gates and started the walk to his destroyed home.

No bandits or thieves bothered him...until he was a 15 minute walk from his town and walking through a forest. He was in his own thoughts and not really paying attention, but a voice made him take notice.

"Are you from Fairy Tail?" A man at least 6ft tall came out form behind a tree and stood in front of Alex. He rose his hand showing his guild mark.

"And are you Alex, The Hero Of Magnolia?" As he asked that more people came out behind Alex.

"No. I am just Alex, I do not think I deserve that title."

"Either way I'm sure someone that is called a Hero in his town also has wealth. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"It doesn't take a genius to know that you're trying to rob me."

"We'll not robbing you. Think of it as a toll for walking through our forest."

"What if I refuse to pay this 'toll'?"

The man took out a dagger and readied a magic circle and the ones behind Alex also took out weapons "Then you can pay the blood price."

Alex laughed a little "Blood price? You mean to charge me, The Blood Dragon Slayer, a blood price? I'm not paying you in my blood, but if you want I can extract your blood instead." Alex said a cut appearing on his palms.

"You're too cocky kid. Attack!" The bandits charged.

"Have it your way." Alex said as 5 throwing knifes appeared in each hand. He threw 5 at the leader and threw the other at the ones attacking from behind. The leader managed to stop the ones that went at him, but the other ones each took a knife through the heart. The leader stopped as his comrades fell.

"You...killed all of them...just with one move?"

"Yes. I don't take kindly to being mugged. Last chance to leave."

"No way! I'll avenge my team!" He ran at Alex

"No one ever takes my warnings..." Alex's claw appeared and he ran at the leader and stabbed through his heart "You should have known better then to target me." The leader fell down, lifeless, and Alex's claw disappeared "Now to continue." Alex started walking again.

Alex arrived at the town and walked right to where his house use to stand. There sat three gravestones that Alex had made, using his magic to cut the stone. Alex sat in front of the three graves and closed his eyes. His memories were more vivid then most because he regained them not even a year ago and he could recall each event that happened. His mind called these memories back up. He had only been in the world for five years before his parents, brother and friends were taken from him...he didn't know his parents at all...he only knew that they were the ones that took care of him, and now they were gone. Alex felt the sadness but no tears came, it seemed that his heart had turned to stone and no matter how sad he felt no tears come. Alex had realized something. Every time he had a father figure they seemed to have been killed somehow. His blood father was killed by Sanguis, Jose was defeated and mostly likely dead now and Sanguis was killed by Alex himself. Time passed and when Alex came from his mind and took notice it was late evening. Alex stood up and looked around at what use to be his home and memories of everyone in the village came to mind.

"I really should make graves for all of you..." Alex muttered "And I promise you, one day I will." Alex started walking back the way he came.

As Alex got closer to Magnolia he saw what looked to be a rip in the sky.

"What the hell is that?" Alex noticed it was about the same distance as Magnolia "I better hurry." Alex increased his speed and started running. He got to a cliff that overlooked Magnolia and what he saw took him by complete surprise.

"H-how is this possible?" Where the town had once been there was now nothing but a field of grey dust.
