One kiss at a time

Chapter one: Daylight
I do not own Fiary Tail or any of the characters in this story, they are the work of Hiro Mashima, anyways, here is my first, proper, multi chapter story, hope you like it and don't forget to review :3 photo by an artist called Blanania.
The world use to be in harmony, humans and vampires lived in balance, only taking what was needed, they grew together, lived together... loved together. That was... until the new king, an evil and merciless vampire called Zeref, took the throne... he was disgusted that humans no longer feared his kind. He wanted darkness to reign, he demanded humans to live like wanted criminals, scuttling around in the alleys just trying to survive. So... he had his wish, vampires took more than their fill, attacking humans at random for more than just food, it was for sport. Humans were farmed, taken to facilities to be bred and drained every day, they were rounded up like cattle, except a few who managed to slip through the cracks. She and her friends were some of these few, the resistance... 'Fairy Tail' a band of humans who were slowly taking back their world one farm bank at a time... until he came along.
"Did you see the group of humans they brought in, they looked so thin and frail... I highly doubt even our kids could make a meal out of them!?" The guard laughed behind her as she took the metal tray, her hazel eyes stared around, seeing friends dotted around the exits and they were all looking to her for her signal. Her heart was racing as she nodded and turned to the two vampires at the halls main doors. Her white, hospital like gown span with her and she circled her neck against the leather collar that irritated her skin.
"Excuse me, my collar is too tight, could you adjust it please!" She said in a croaky voice like her neck was being constricted and the two men looked down at her with a glare. One bared his large fangs while the other walked up to her, reaching around to grab the straps of her collar pulling at her blue locks to get to it. She let out a steady breath, the blade sliding from her lips and she spotted the blue veins protruding from his neck. With enough speed to ache her neck, she sliced the blade across his skin, deep enough to catch his vein and he stumbled back, blood splurged from the wound and she dropped the tray, grabbing the metal stake from under her skirt that was tucked in to the white leggings of the uniform. The other vampire snarled as he dived towards her, she could hear voices and screams as her friends took out the other blood suckers. Her adrenaline was pumping as she scowled, she kicked out, hitting him in the groin once he was close and he doubled over, giving her enough time to grab him by his brown locks and slam his face into her knee. The vampire hissed in pain and grabbed his face, leaving his chest open and she plunged the stake in to his heart, it only went in an inch or two until she slammed the man into the white wall, piercing his dead heart. He let out a screech and began flailing in pain, she ducked as his skin began to blister and flame, ash spilt from his mouth as he coughed and without warning, the vampire exploded, her metal spike fell to the floor with a thunk and she started at the shocked vampire who was holding his throat in pain. She knelt down, slamming the spike in to his chest cavity and watching him do the same before looking around. Her friends had successfully taken out the rest of the guards and she walked up to the prisoners who were shaking in disbelief. There was about thirty of them, ranging from mid forties to little children and she yanked off her collar.
"Levy, we have to hurry, the other guards will be here any second!" She heard one of her team mates yell and she nodded.
"You heard him, we're here to get you out, follow them, me and Team B will hold them off, Lucy, get the civilians out!" She yelled and the people nodded as they ran towards the smaller team of seven while her team of six stayed in the dinner hall, there was only two exits, the one behind them led in to the open grounds while the one her friends and her stood at was the entrance that led further in to the facility. Levy glared as she gripped her stake, her body was shaking with anticipation as she braced for the vampires to come crawling in like ants.
"Why aren't they here yet?" Her team mate, Natsu questioned and she gave him a wary look, his pink hair was stuck to his skin with sweat and his black eyes glared in confusion. She understood why he was so cautious, vampires weren't known for letting their food get away and that was putting everyone on edge.
"Maybe they just gave up, I mean, word must have hit them that Fairy Tail has taken three farms already..." Jet said and she frowned at him, that was very... very unlikely and to be honest they would still put up a fight.
"Don't be stupid, they're vampires, why would they give up!?" His brother, Droy scoffed and they were just about to begin arguing when she shot them an angry scowl.
"Now is not the time you two!" She hissed and they gulped then went back in to a defensive stance, getting ready to fight for all they were worth.
"Your friend is right... us vampires don't give up, we evolve, unlike you puny humans!" A deep voice snarled and she glared around but the source of the voice was no where to be seen.
"Come out leech... we can't end this if we can't see you!" She snapped and there was a low chuckle that sent shivers down her spine. Something didn't feel right, it felt like her whole body was frozen with fear when she noticed where the voice was coming from. Slowly, she tilted her head up seeing the dark shape looming closer, right on top of her and she yelped as someone tackled her out of the way. Levy looked up to see Natsu holding her tight and glaring at the man who just tried to stomp on her, peering round him, she went rigid with terror.
"What's wrong humans... wasn't expecting me... or my men!?" He cackled as several more dark shapes fell from the rafters, landing all around them but he... he was the most terrifying. The vampire stood over six foot and his black, long neck, sleeveless shirt clung to his muscles, his long, obsidian hair fell down his broad back and he had metal studs dotted around his face, ears and arms. He had a cloak on, much like the rest of the men around them and he wore white, baggy pants tucked in to black, studded boots. His eyes though, she felt captured by them... such a brilliant red, she'd never seen such eyes, it felt like they were pulling her in. She slowly pushed Natsu away, unable to look away from those eyes, they were calling her, begging her to go to him. "That's right... come little one, ghihi...!" He grinned, his large fangs made her quiver as she walked towards him.
"Levy, stop, what are you doing!?" She heard Jet and Droy yell but she couldn't speak, she couldn't even look at them, she wanted to stop, she was scared and could feel her stake slipping from her fingers until it fell to the floor. Tears rolled down her cheeks as he opened his arms to her, his smile felt sickening as she stopped inside his embrace and he wrapped his arms around her.
"Oh... your human males are so weak... why don't you join me and we can stay together, be my play thing...!" He whispered harshly in her ears and her head began to nod despite wanting to be anywhere but near him. She knew what he was doing, compulsion but she couldn't break free, she was trapped and he span her round to face her horrified friends. Once they broke eye contact, she was out of her trance and began struggling as he held her jaw and around her waist, chuckling as he licked his lips. "I want you to watch as they tear your friends apart, then... I'm going to turn you... you'll become that which you hate most... would you like me to do that, to make you mine, once I turn you, you're sired to me... you'll do everything I say... mine, how would that feel!?" He hissed in her ears as she whimpered, she elbowed and kicked, punching and screaming as she tried to break free.
"Guys, run... please... get everyone out... please!" She begged, they stood no chance against these vampires... they were the shadow gang... she should have known they were going to run in with them but it was just their bad luck that they didn't have their big weapons. It was such a small farm, they left them in the buses, thinking they wouldn't need them, how stupid was that?
"Levy... no... we're not leaving you!" Gray, another team mate yelled and she nodded as the vampire holding her licked up her neck, making her squirm as her heart began to race. They had no choice, the shadow gang were elite soldiers of the Vampire phantom platoon, it would be suicide and they were needed, they were good fighters, she was just a the strategist, like Freed. She was expendable but they were muscle that was needed.
"Yes you are... tell... tell everyone I'm sorry but you have to go, these are the shadow gang, you won't stand a chance, it's still light outside so go, they can't follow you past the doors!" She yelled at them and they all looked at her with pained eyes as Natsu cursed and followed her orders, the vampires didn't even follow them as they ran to the door. Gray opened it and took one last look back before shaking his head in anger and running outside, her heart felt like it was breaking and the vampires chuckled.
"Smart move... but at the end of the day, that won't make a difference, your kind is nothing but cattle to be bred and dead... silly human!" The vampire snarled in her ear and she scoffed, trying to show no fear despite shaking like a leaf.
"You may see us as cattle but humans... we persevere through everything, you leeches are parasites and just like every parasite, we will find a cure and you will die!" She snapped back and the vampire laughed in her ears as he smelt her hair and began nibbling her skin, he cut it gently with a fang, making her wince and he licked the thin line of blood that trickled down her shoulder.
"Bravery is such an admirable thing but... I won't mind if you scream..." he whispered and she went rigid before her whole neck felt like it was on fire, like someone was sliding a hot poker down her skin and she shrieked.
His fangs were deep in her flesh, tearing it and letting the blood pour as he drank from her, his men itched to taste her but they knew better than to touch his prey. He felt like his body was being doused in honey, her blood was so rich and sweet, the smooth liquid trickled down his throat as he growled. She stopped screaming and was panting, whimpering in his grasp like a frightened pup, he scent was driving him crazy, filling him whole like the sun he had forgotten so long ago. He gasped, his red eyes glowing as he let go of her throat and she slumped in his arms, passing out from blood loss and he grinned as he licked his blood soaked lips.
"I think I've found my knew feeder... you boys can fight between who has Ingrid, just know... this human is now mine, if anyone so much as looks at her, I'll tear you limb from limb!" He smirked yet his eyes all but screamed murder. His men had no dispute over the fact and gladly began arguing over who got to finally drink from the captains very best blood bank. Ingrid was bred from the sweetest blood feeders and so, was like fine wine, though she was no where near as beautiful as the human in his arms. Yes, the little bluenette was petite in most ways but she had such exotic features, her pink lips were plump and pouting, her eyes were wide and gold, so full of life and her hair was the colour of the sky he longed to see. She was like a little glimpse of daylight and he needed that... he needed her... .
